Wang Zun(王尊)
(B.C.?-B.C.?)
His surname is (Wang), his parents gave him
the name (Zun), and when he grew up his friends called him (Zigan). He was born
in Hebei Province, China.
|
王 |
It means king. It is also one of the
Chinese family names. |
|
尊 |
It means noble. It means respect. |
|
子 |
It means a child. It is also one of the
Chinese surnames. |
|
贛 |
It means to give. It is also the name of
a river in Jiangxi Province, China. |
He was a famous minister in the Western Han
Dynasty and his story is recorded in history books.
Wang Zun has a very high moral level and is
a very upright person. He is not afraid of power and acts according to the law.
He once served as the mayor of (Dongping)
City.
The 11th king of the Western Han Dynasty
was called Liu Shi. The king's younger brother is called Liu Yu.
Liu Yu lives in Dongping City.
Liu Yu relied on his brother to be king, so
he looked down on the previous mayors of Dongping City.
Liu Yu believed that the law only applied
to ordinary civilians. He believed that since he was the king's younger
brother, he did not have to obey the laws.
After Wang Zun came to Dongping City as
mayor, he did not flatter Liu Yu like the previous mayors. On the contrary, he
demanded that Liu Yu obey the law.
Wang Zun's behaviour made Liu Yu very
unhappy, and Liu Yu hated Wang Zun.
But later Liu Yu changed his mind about
Wang Zun because of one incident.
One day Wang Zun came to Liu Yu's house and
the two of them talked about a problem.
Wang Zun proposed several solutions to the
problem, but Liu Yu could not make a decision after looking at the solutions.
Seeing that Liu Yu was unable to make a
final decision, Wang Zun said to Liu Yu
Originally, I thought you were a very brave
and courageous person, but now I realise that your personality is different
from what I thought.
Because your status is very noble and you
are very wealthy, you often show that you are not afraid, but when it comes to
making some important decisions, you act so timidly.
If I were in your position, I would have
made a firm decision to choose the option that I felt was most appropriate. I
would not be as hesitant as you are.
After hearing these words, Liu Yu felt
ashamed in his heart, and then he felt angry. He felt that he had been
insulted.
A very malicious thought came into Liu Yu's
mind. He smiled and said to Wang Zun.
Let's change the subject and relax for a
moment, let's stop discussing this topic for now.
By the way, the sword you are carrying
looks like a very good sword?
Where did you buy it and how much did you
pay for it?
Could you please pull out that sword and
show me?
Wang Zun nodded with a smile. When he put
his hand on the handle of the sword and was about to pull the sword out of the
sheath, he suddenly stopped and raised his hands high.
Wang Zun said to Liu Yu.
I am pleased to show you this new sword I
have purchased. Please ask your guards to take this sword from me and ask your
guards to take my sword to you.
When Liu Yu saw Wang Zun's behaviour, he
didn't know what to say.
Wang Zun said to Liu Yu with a smile at
that time.
I can see from some of your body movements
that you are very unhappy with me and very angry.
But I am an official of the central
government, and you cannot just order your guards to attack me.
So you want to create the illusion that I
want to assassinate you.
You have just asked me to take my sword out
of its sheath.
When I take that sword out of its sheath,
you will order your bodyguard to kill me.
Then you will say to the outside world that
your guards killed me to protect you because I wanted to assassinate you.
Am I right?
When Liu Yu heard Wang Zun's words, he was
very surprised.
So he said to Wang Zun
You are a really smart person, you can
observe many details clearly and make quick decisions immediately.
I have changed my opinion of you. I think
you are a person who deserves my respect.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Will you always be wary of others having
bad intentions towards you? Have you ever been deceived by others?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

他是西漢王朝一個著名的大臣，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
王尊的道德水平很高，他是一個很正直的人。他不畏懼權勢，依照法律辦事。
他曾經擔任過(東平)市的市長。
西漢王朝第11任國王的名字叫做劉奭。國王的弟弟的名字叫做劉宇。
劉宇就住在東平市裡。
劉宇仰仗著自己的哥哥是國王，所以他瞧不起歷屆的東平市的市長。
劉宇認為法律只適用於一般平民，他認為自己是國王的弟弟所以他不用遵守法律的規範。
王尊到東平市擔任市長後，他沒有像以前的幾位市長一樣巴結劉宇，相反的，他要求劉宇必須遵守法律的規範。
王尊的行為讓劉宇很不開心，劉宇因此很討厭王尊。
但是後來劉宇卻因為一件事情徹底自己改變的對王尊的看法。
有一天，王尊到了劉宇的家中，他們兩個人針對一個議題進行溝通。
王尊針對這個議題提出了幾個解決的方案，但劉宇看著這幾個方案後一直無法做出決定。
看著劉宇一直無法做出最後的決定，王尊對劉宇說。
我原本認為你是一個很勇敢又很大膽的人，但我現在才發現你的個性跟所想的不一樣。
因為你的身分很高貴而且你很富有，所以你常常表現出你毫不畏懼，但是在面對要做出一些重要的決定的時候，你卻表現得如此膽怯。
針對這個議題，如果我是你，我早就已經果斷地從這些方案中選出一個我覺得最合適的方案，我不會像你一樣猶豫不決。
劉宇聽到這些話後，他的內心感到羞愧，接著他感到憤怒，他覺得自己被侮辱了。
劉宇的心中興起了一個很惡毒的想法，他露出微笑然後對王尊說。
我們先轉換一下話題然後放鬆一下心情，我們先暫時停止討論這個議題。
對了，你身上的這一把配劍看起來是一把很好的劍呢?
你在那裡買的，你用了多少錢買的呢?
你能拔出這把劍讓我看看好嗎?
王尊微笑的點頭答應，他把手放在自己的劍把上準備從劍鞘中拔出劍的時候，他突然停止動作並且雙手舉高。
王尊對劉宇說。
我很樂意讓你看我新買的這把劍，你請你的侍衛來把我身上的這把佩劍拿走，讓你的侍衛把我的劍拿去給你看。
劉宇看到王尊的舉動後，他不知道該如何應對。
王尊這時候笑著對劉宇說。
我從你的剛才的一些肢體動作看出來，你對我非常的不滿而且你非常憤怒。
但我是中央政府的官員，你不能隨便命令你的侍衛攻擊我。
因此你想要製造出一個我想要刺殺你的假象。
你剛才請我把我身上的佩劍拔出劍鞘。
當我把這劍拔出劍鞘後，你會下令你的隨身侍衛殺了我。
接著你會對外界宣稱因為我想刺殺你，所以你的侍衛們基於保護你的理由把我殺了。
我說的對嗎?
劉宇聽完王尊的話後，他覺得非常的驚訝，
所以他對王尊說。
你真的是一個很聰明的人，你可以很清晰地觀察到很多細節並且立刻做出快速的決定。
我改變我對你的看法了，我認為你是一個值得我尊敬的人。
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。
你會時刻提防別人對你是否有壞的企圖嗎?你是否曾經被別人設計陷害呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
