Chapter 9: The Roots of War

In the afternoon, the master was alone in the book club to make up for Zhiwei's lessons. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He wrote a poem on a wooden board and said:

"Okay, Zhiwei, today we are going to learn a poem by Cao Cao, called "Artemisia Lixing", you follow me to read."

"There are righteous people in the Kanto region, and they raise troops to fight against the murderers.

。。。

The armor is full of lice, and all surnames die.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines"

When Zhiwei read it to the end, he felt sad for some reason, and he immediately asked, "Master, why do I feel sad in my heart?" ”

When the master heard this, he immediately said happily: "You are also a man of temperament, let me explain it to you slowly, this is a sad poem, the poem writes about the cruelty of war, I will slowly analyze it for you."

The armor is full of lice, and the surname is death, which means that due to the continuous war, the soldiers can't take off their battle clothes for a long time, and the armor is full of lice, and many people have also died in large numbers due to years of war, and someone should come to the burial after a normal death, right?

Zhiwei nodded, he had already seen the dead buried several times.

After the master finished explaining, he asked, "Do you know why no one helped with the burial?" ”

Zhiwei thought for a while and said, "It should be war." ”

The master nodded and said: "Yes, you listen to the white bones exposed in the wilderness, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, the people are left behind, the bones of the broken intestines of people are exposed in the wilderness and no one is buried, there is no human population for thousands of miles, and you can't hear the rooster crow." Only one of the hundred ordinary people is still alive, and it is extremely sad to think of this. When people are gone, how can anyone be buried? ”

After the analysis, the Master continued: "This is the cruelty of war, but do you know who caused it? ”

Zhiwei shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

The Master continued, "Then I ask you, why is there a war?" ”

Zhiwei knew this time and said: "I know that it was the Sui King who made a rebellion, and the taxes were too serious, which caused the people to have a hard time, so some people rebelled, and the war started." ”

The master nodded and said, "That's a good answer, then you know who caused it now, right?" ”

"King Sui."

"Why?"

"Because of the heavy taxes, people can't live."

"That's right, so why are taxes so heavy?"

"Because he's going to build a palace."

"Why did he build a palace?"

"For enjoyment," Zhiwei said everything he had heard before.

"Isn't his old palace enough for him to live in, not luxurious enough?" The Master continued

This time, Zhiwei didn't know, he hadn't seen the palace of King Sui. I had to say, "I don't know." ”

The master continued: "Enough, when you have time, you can go to the palace and have a look. His palace is luxurious enough for him to live in, so why build it? ”

The Master himself replied, "It was his greed, it was his desire to control it." ”

"Think about it, are you the only one who needs so many palaces to live in?"

Zhiwei didn't think he needed it, he just needed a small room and a bed. He said, "No, I just need one room." ”

"Yes, but why did he build it? Because his heart is not satisfied, and he wants to possess the things of the world. ”

"But, do you really need that much? Let me ask you again, have you ever tried to feel that you deserve it, and then you want someone else's part? ”

Zhiwei thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes." “

"That's greed, and that's the origin of all wars." The Master pointed out.

When Zhiwei heard this answer, he immediately understood.

"If an ordinary person's greed is not satisfied, then he will want to rob, steal, and wait for ways to get him. If an emperor's greed is not satisfied, he will mobilize the whole country to help him satisfy, and it takes a lot of money to build a palace, and the treasury is not so much, so he can only raise taxes, and then the cycle will become difficult for the people. ”

"If the people can't survive, then they can only resist. So, the root of all troubles is the heart. ”

When Zhiwei heard his master's analysis, he said: "Greed is the root of everything, only moderation can avoid disasters, a person who does not understand moderation will cause sin, and a person with power does not know how to control himself, then the world should be chaotic." Only temperance can endure. ”

"Well, you must know how to be a human being, otherwise you are just a beast of desire. Okay, that's it for today's class, you can memorize the poems. The Master looked at the sky and said.

Zhiwei stood up, bowed and said, "Master, I may not be here tomorrow." ”

When the Master heard him say this, he asked, "Why?" ”

"Tomorrow is the first day of junior high school, and I want to take the entrance exam of the Tang Dynasty Mansion."

Hearing him say this, the master immediately understood, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can go tomorrow, and when it's over, you can come again." I know better than you about the things in the Tang Dynasty. ”

When Zhiwei heard this, he turned around and asked, "Okay, I'll come back when I have time." ”

"You'll have time the day after tomorrow, let's go."

After Zhiwei said goodbye, he slowly walked back to the inn.

。。。。。。

At that time, the Yanwutang was already crowded, with vendors and pawns setting up stalls, heroic teenagers with weapons on their backs, and many troops maintaining law and order.

When Zhiwei and the others crowded to the registration office, they saw a notice posted on it. The notice says the rules for this selection. Most of it is similar to the information bought from the old man, but there are two differences.

First, there are two kinds of inner disciples. A person who has no foundation in martial arts is tested by a second-generation disciple or above, and the test method is to randomly draw a general outline of ordinary internal force from the martial arts pavilion, as long as he practices a trace of internal force in one day, he can be qualified to enter the next round. There is no limit to the number of people

The second is that those who have a foundation in martial arts need to go through a martial arts competition to determine the qualification for the second round, in which each person randomly selects their opponents until the last 50. If the number of people is not enough, it will not be made up.

These new rules are all for inner disciples, and they have no impact on Zhiwei, he just wants to report a nominal disciple. For Li Wei, this is even happier, he can defeat the world's opponents and be selected as an inner disciple, which is full of a sense of achievement.

The two of them immediately took out their registration stickers and money and squeezed to the registration desk, handed them to the officers and soldiers in front, and said: "We want to sign up, Chen Zhiwei reports to the nominal disciple, Li Wei reports to the inner disciple, and has a foundation in martial arts." ”

There were too many applicants, the voice was too noisy, and the officers and soldiers didn't hear what he was talking about, and listened to the words behind the Dao, inner disciples, have a foundation in martial arts. He saw that the money was enough again, so he reported all the two of them to the inner disciples. I wrote a number for them, and then I came down.

Li Wei took the number and looked at it and said with a smile: "You see that our numbers are almost the same, connected together, 528529"

Zhiwei took his number plate and said, "It's normal, pay the money together." ”

After a while, drums beat in the thunder ring.

An officer and soldier walked up and said, "The entrance test of the Datang Official Mansion will start immediately." ”
