We read all the lead to present a different history.
There are many heroes and good men in the Water Margin, all of them are very good martial arts and moral men, and everyone has their own favorite character. But my favorite is a character that no one can think of, that is, Li Kui. Although Li Kui's mind was not very good, not only was he not as good as Zhi Duo Xing Wu Yong or even many others, but I was very appreciative of him.
In terms of martial arts, he was also very powerful, and the most valuable thing was his loyalty to Song Jiang, and it was no exaggeration to say that Li Kuiyi was bo yuntian. He recognized Song Jiang as the eldest brother, and he never wavered in the slightest, and has always been the leader of Song Jiang. However, Song Jiang, who had been talking about morality all day, personally murdered Li Kui, which had to make Song Jiang's image of this person plummet, and he even had no good feelings for him anymore.
Remember that when Song Jiang was escorted to the execution ground, it was Li Kui who personally took his brother on Liangshan to save his life, even if he was not a regenerating parent, he could always be regarded as a savior. And Song Jiang would actually attack his own savior, so what is Song Jiang's morality?
In front of the danger, Li Kui always stood in front of Song Jiang's body, as long as it was something that Song Jiang commanded him, he always tried his best to do a good job with his life, and even more so he made a lot of outstanding merits for Song Jiang. But in the end, for such a reason, Song Jiang killed him.
In fact, Song Jiang can be regarded as the most clever person on Liangshan, and the good people of Liangshan were all forced to go to Liangshan without a way, and many of them were forced by the imperial court, so a large part of them did not have any good feelings for the imperial court. But when Song Jiang was on Liangshan, he regarded this as a stopgap measure, and one day he would return to the imperial court. Therefore, in terms of fundamental goals, Song Jiang is different from others on Liangshan, and Song Jiang has always longed for temple life.
And when Song Jiang went to Liangshan, his deeds could fully see his nature as a person, for the sake of interests and himself, he could completely disregard the means, as long as he sacrificed his brothers when necessary, in the final analysis, it was selfish. The reason why Gongsun Sheng went down to Liangshan in the first place was entirely because he saw through Song Jiang in advance, and the good han of Liangshan almost did not have a good end after Song Jiang accepted the court's offer.
As mentioned earlier, the reason why Song Jiang stayed in Liangshan was entirely expedient, he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the day when he would return to the imperial court. Therefore, soon after he became the ruler of Liangshan, he immediately led the good men of Liangshan to accept the invitation of the imperial court. At this time, Li Kui became an obstacle, and Li Kui did not want the people of Liangshan to submit to the imperial court, so in this matter of Zhao'an, Li Kui strongly opposed it. Li Kui's behavior like this undoubtedly became a thorn in Song Jiang's eye, and the opportunity that Song Jiang had worked so hard to wait for naturally could not make Li Kui ruin it. Therefore, when he was here earlier, Song Jiang planted the seed of killing Li Kui in his heart.
After accepting Zhao'an, in fact, Song Jiang and Wu Yong already had the intention of plotting rebellion, and Li Kui also knew about this matter. However, Song Jiang did not wait for the opportunity, but waited for a glass of poisonous wine, and he knew that his life would soon be over. But li kui must not be left in the world, and since the great cause cannot be accomplished, it is necessary to leave a good name.
Since he had already appealed to the imperial court, if at this time he had the intention of plotting rebellion again, it would undoubtedly make him stink for eternity, so he wanted to leave the impression to the world that he was a capitulationist. Li Kui, who knew the ins and outs of it, naturally could not leave a living mouth, so Song Jiang ruthlessly poisoned Li Kui before he died.
Thousands of years later, when speaking of this paragraph, Chairman Mao broke through the mystery in one sentence: How could a capitulation faction like Song Jiang possibly spare a revolutionary like Li Kui? I have to say that Chairman Mao was a man of real great wisdom, and he could clearly express the cause of the matter with a single sentence.
