please make me king

Chapter 33
"My family has hunted for generations. In my generation, my parents died young. But I like to dance and play sticks. I am tired all day long. I am not a womanizer and I am not married. When I was a teenager, I went hunting in the mountains and met a leopard. He shot him and brought him home, so he became famous in the village."

"Therefore, there are often ferocious beasts in the surrounding prefectures and counties, and they all invite me to hunt them. I kill the beasts, eat their meat, stew their bones, and strengthen my muscles, bones, and flesh. Therefore, I am getting stronger and stronger, and the beasts are afraid of me. Once I found a tiger's lair in the mountains, and killed its mother tiger and cubs. Only one cub injured its hind leg, and I captured it, and took its skin if I wanted to raise it."

"Although this fierce tiger cannibalizes humans, it is a rare treasure. Its skin is the most expensive, followed by its whip and its bones. Thirdly, its teeth can ward off evil spirits. Besides, its meat can be eaten, and its tendons can be used to make bows. Tigers are hard to hunt. It often hurts its skin, and the price is cheap because of skin wounds, so I want to raise it and kill it. My real name is Xiao Hu. Because I captured this tiger, everyone called me Xiao Qinhu. I am also proud of it and call myself Xiao Qinhu is also."

"But I never thought that there was an old monk who was kind to me before. Because of his old age, he came back from Mount Wutai. Because I practiced archery back then, I was taught by this person, so I took good care of him. He was married. Living in this mountain, teaching and enlightening the people, spreading Buddhism. One day I saw this tiger, thinking of its innocence, I begged for it from me. I fed it with rice porridge, and raised it as a dog for guarding the house.”

"This tiger cub is full of rice porridge, and gradually grows up. The old monk tames it according to the method of taming a dog when he is free. When the old monk goes out, the little tiger follows him; when the old monk returns home, the little tiger lies on his lap. Intimate with its owner, just like a puppy. Two years later, this tiger cub has grown into a big tiger, but it is still tame as usual."

"Because the injured leg was a little crooked when walking, the locals called it a "lame tiger". When guests passed by the nunnery, the tiger also walked back and forth like a dog to guard the gate, and never frightened the passers-by. Therefore, people from far and near People think that the old monk has a high level of morality and superb Dharma, and he can tame a fierce tiger, so people often come to visit him because of this. The old monk often takes pride in this, thinking that the tiger has changed its nature."

"I didn't think about it. A few days ago, that old monk practiced this way. At that time, his nose was bleeding because of a recent fire, and the blood flowed on the ground. The old monk always likes to be clean, and he is afraid that the blood will stain the ground. He pointed his toe on the ground to signal the tiger. Lick off the blood stains, and the tiger really sticks to it."

"Unexpectedly, it was a beast. Since its birth, it had never eaten blood, so it forgot its origin. After licking the blood, it was sweet and delicious, better than rice porridge. Then it returned to its original nature, and its animal nature became violent. It rushed towards the old monk. , After killing the old monk who raised it for many years, he ate it."

"When I heard about this, I rushed over immediately. But at this time, the tiger had already fled into the mountains. I waited here for a few days, but I didn't expect that this tiger has been with people for a long time, and knows a lot about human affairs. I actually failed to meet it. It was extremely cunning, and I later designed traps many times to ambush it on the road it often passed by, but it escaped."

"It's just that this tiger does not violate its ferocious animal nature, and is reluctant to part with the delicious human flesh, so it often wanders here, hunting humans, but never leaves, so there are often things that hurt people here recently. I heard today that this tiger reappeared here , injured a pedestrian on the side of the road, and was eating. So I came here on purpose, intending to hunt and kill this tiger."

"It was only because I hated it deeply that I wanted to shoot the tiger myself to avenge the old monk, so I had a conflict with Brother Chen. Then I made the tiger escape and hurt the nobleman. Because of this, I deserve to suffer this crime!"

Zhang Jun couldn't help sighing after hearing this: "A fierce tiger is not a human being. As the old saying goes, if it is not my kind, its heart must be different. Even if it is the same kind, let alone a wild beast."

"It's an old monk, the Dharma is superb, and he is compassionate. He is an eminent monk and virtuous when he is with people. He is just a meal with beasts. How pedantic and dull.

Zhao Yutou heard this, and followed Zhang Shun's words to persuade him: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. The attitude of Rong and Di is not the same as that of Hua. Therefore, the ancient sages are also kings. There are also distinctions between inside and outside. There is a difference between Hua and barbarians. It is a government, benevolent government is applied to the people, etiquette is distinguished from superiors and inferiors, punishments are imposed on treacherous people, and wars are used to attack barbarians. This is all benevolence and righteousness."

"Husbands and people are like descendants. Their benevolence is the foundation of the king, their courtesy is the teaching of the king, their punishment is the prestige of the king, and their warfare is the love and protection of the king. If the king is benevolent but rude, the people will not be educated; If there is no punishment, the people will attack and kill each other, and the monarch will not stop it, and the people will suffer from it; if the monarch is benevolent but there is no warfare, then the barbarians will be robbed by the barbarians, the emperors and the invaders, how can the people be at peace?"

"Therefore, the common people have a ruler, and the ruler has benevolence, courtesy, punishment, and soldiers. There is an old saying: Yidi has a ruler, not like Huaxia. It should refer to this matter? The Yidi belong to, The strong bully the weak, the many oppress the few, they are powerful but shameless, and even if they have a ruler, they are still like animals. Their ruler is benevolent, their people rude, their country is punished in disorder, and they regard warfare as a trifling matter and take pleasure in bullying other countries. Therefore, having a ruler is the same as having no ruler, barbaric and indifferent. And China, a state of etiquette since ancient times, has a ruler but no ruler, benevolence, rites, punishments and soldiers are all prepared, so it is said: The barbarians have a ruler, not like the Huaxia. .”

"Now I know that the Lord is benevolent and righteous, but benevolence and righteousness cannot be applied indiscriminately. Benevolence without propriety is called chaos; benevolence without power is called confusion; benevolence without soldiers is called cowardice!"

Zhang Shun knew what he meant by admonishing him, because they felt that they were too benevolent and righteous, like the punishment of Chen Changzhu just now, they thought it was too light, so they worshiped and said: "I would like to be taught! Although Master Zhao is illiterate, his knowledge If this is the case, the sages of Gaigu are also like this."

Zhao Yutou didn't even dare to speak, his face turned red.It turned out that because of Zhu Yuanzhang's "expulsion of the Tartars and restoration of China", the Ming people boasted that "the only ones who win the country are the Han and the Ming".That's why people in the Ming Dynasty like to discuss "the debate between Hua and Yi" most. Zhao Yutou traveled to Mengjin to transport passengers, and often listened to scholars discussing on board, so he learned the essence and came up with this theory.

Chen Jingzhi was a newcomer, and he was only regarded as a farmer before. Although Zhang Shun used to be close to him, Chen Jingzhi still didn't think there was anything special about him.After hearing his words today, I couldn't help but admire him: "The scriptures have eyes but no eyes. Listening to your words today is better than reading books for ten years. There are sages in the wild, and they are probably talking about people like you."

Afterwards, he bowed to Zhang Shun three times and said: "When I first saw the lord, I just thought that the lord is a mother-in-law, not like a decisive lord, and I suspect that the hexagrams are wrong. Seeing that the lord has such talents under his command, Fang I know that my lord is a man of destiny. After Yaoji, I will devote myself to my death and help my lord to accomplish this great cause."
