西元48年,東漢王朝的南方發生一場暴動,當地的政府軍被暴民打敗。

他聽到這個消息後,他主動對東漢王朝的開國國王說。

我希望你可以派遣一支軍隊給我,我希望你讓我帶領這支軍隊去平息這場暴動。

 

國王對他說。

你的年紀很老了,你已經62歲了,戰爭非常辛苦又危險,我認為你的體力無法負擔。

 

他笑著對國王說。

我雖然已經62歲了,但是我的身體很健康,我的精力充沛,我還可以穿上沉重的盔甲並且騎在馬上跟敵人對戰。

 

國王對他說。

你確定你真的可以帶領軍隊去打仗嗎?

 

他立刻對國王說。

如果你不相信,我可以現在我可以現在立刻穿上盔甲然後騎馬與人對決。

 

國王答應了他的請求。

 

幾十分鐘後,他穿上了全身的盔甲、然後他立刻跳上一匹馬。

他騎馬騎得非常的穩,騎在馬上的他的眼睛裡透露出熱情與驕傲,

 

國王看了他的表現後就就笑著對他說。

你真的非常的健康,我答應你的請求,我把這個任務交給你負責。

 

當天晚上他回家後,他對他的家人與朋友說。

我從年輕的時候就開始跟著國王到處打仗,國王對我非常的寬厚又仁慈。他給了我很多的賞賜,他非常的信任我又重視我的意見,因此我覺得我非常的感謝他。

 

我的年紀已經超過60歲了,所以我覺得時間非常的緊迫,我希望把握我的餘生中的每一天。

 

我今天能夠獲得這個機會帶領軍隊去捍衛國家的安定,我覺得非常的開心也覺得非常的榮耀,如果我這次出征我死在戰場上,我不會有任何的遺憾,我會內心感到很滿足的永遠閉上我的眼睛。

 

這一句成語被用來形容一個人安心地死去而且沒有任何遺憾。
