He is extremely cruel and vicious(窮兇極暴)
There was a famous minister in the Eastern
Jin Dynasty of China, his name was Su Jun.
There is a story about him in the history
books.
He had his own army, and he took his army
to submit to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Dissatisfied with the administrative
control of the central government being held by another minister he did not
like, he led his army to attack the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Due to the strong military power he
controlled, the government forces in the capital were unable to resist his
attack. After a few weeks, he successfully captured the capital.
He led the army to occupy the palace and
captured the king of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
He did not kill the king of the Eastern Jin
Dynasty, he said to the king.
I will not kill you, but from today I will
have all administrative control over the Eastern Jin Dynasty. All appointments
and other important decisions within the central government must be approved by
me.
If you don't obey me, I will kill you and
install another king who will obey me.
After leading the army to occupy the
capital, he revealed his extremely cruel and vicious personality.
He had all the officials of the central
government arrested and beaten and forced them to do hard labour.
He ordered all the maids and servants in
the palace to take off their clothes, and he was so amused to see how ashamed
they were of not having any clothes on that he laughed.
Finally, he set fire to all the precious
silks and supplies in the palace.
He allowed his soldiers to rob the property
of the people in the capital, and his soldiers harassed the people in the
capital at will. After his army occupied the capital of the Jin dynasty,
everyone in the capital of the Jin dynasty felt extremely great pain and fear.
This idiom means that he is extremely cruel
and vicious

窮兇極暴(He is extremely cruel and vicious)
中國的東晉王朝有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做蘇峻。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他有一隻屬於自己的軍隊，他帶著他的軍隊歸順於東晉王朝。
他因為不滿意中央政府的行政控制權被另外一個他不喜歡的大臣所掌握，所以他率領了他所領導的軍隊攻打東晉王朝的首都。
由於他掌握的軍事力量十分強大，首都的政府軍無法抵禦他的攻擊，幾個禮拜後，他順利地攻下首都。
他帶領著軍隊佔領了皇宮，東晉王朝的國王也被他囚禁。
他沒有殺了東晉王朝的國王，他對國王說。
我不會殺你，但從今天開始，我要掌握東晉王朝的所有行政控制權，所有中央政府內的人事安排與其他所有重要的決策都要經過我的同意。
如果你不順從我，我就殺了你然後扶植另外一個順從我的皇室成員當國王。
他帶領著軍隊佔領了首都之後，他露出他極度的殘暴而且兇惡的個性。
他把中央政府內的所有官員都抓起來並且毒打，他強迫這些官員服苦役。
他命令皇宮中的所有宮女與僕役都脫光衣服，看到這些人因為沒有衣服而羞愧的樣子他覺得非常有趣，他看得哈哈大笑。
他最後還一把火把皇宮中的所有珍貴的綢緞與用品全部焚燒殆盡。
他放任他手下的士兵們搶劫首都內的百姓的財物，他的士兵們在首都內隨意地欺負百姓，在他的軍隊佔領晉王朝的首都後，晉王朝的首都內的所有人都感覺到極大的痛苦與恐懼。
這句成語的意思是他極度的殘暴與兇惡。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
當你遇到很兇惡的人時，你會怎樣跟這些人應對呢?你如果是他，你在占領首都後，你會怎樣處置東晉王國的國王呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
