In today's impetuous society, suspicion between people is getting deeper and deeper. The design and implementation of the social credit system is a tough external constraint, and the quality education at the internal level cannot be ignored. Among them, the most basic requirement is to achieve "words must be honest, and deeds must be loyal." But this is also inevitable for the suspicion of some unscrupulous people.
Today's story goes back to the last century, when the Taiping Army uprising caused the Xianfeng Emperor to panic and hurriedly dispatched troops from all over the country to suppress it. In this way, various local armies came into being, and Zeng Guofan's Xiang army was notoriously brave and good at war, and was invincible. Today's protagonist is Li Jinyang, one of the generals of the Xiang Army, who is loyal to the Lord, but when he arrives, he is given death. What is even more bizarre is that he was beheaded but did not die, and then Li Jinyang shaved his hair and became a monk, and married three nuns to spend the rest of his life.
"Cupola"
Li Jinyang is brave and strategic, good at fighting, and as long as he is on the battlefield, he can minimize losses. But Li Jinyang also has a fatal shortcoming is that he has a violent temper, such as the aggressive cannon, and Li Jinyang himself has also received such a nickname as "cupola cannon".
Because of such a temper, Li Jinyang can be said to have offended many people with his verbal kung fu, and there are very few generals who are basically good friends with him, and Cao Renmei is one who is good friends with him. Frankly speaking, it is also because Li Jinyang and Cao Renmei are more familiar with each other.
Make friends
For ordinary people, making friends is a very common thing. But for Li Jinyang, it was a very difficult thing. The first is Li Jinyang's status, as a general of the late Qing Dynasty, he is highly powerful and deeply trusted by Zeng Guofan; then there is Li Jinyang's temperament, his temper is hot, and he explodes at one point, making many people reluctant to approach.
Cao Renmei and Li Jinyang also befriended by chance, Li Jinyang and Cao Renmei were once in the camp together, and Cao Renmei also learned from Li Jinyang the "Zhuyu Technique" (a kind of spell that Li Jinyang learned in his hometown when he was young to treat diseases with the help of spells, usually passed down by oral transmission). With this special relationship of being both a classmate and a teacher and a student, the relationship between the two is better than that of ordinary people. In addition to making good friends with Li Jinyang, of course, more are bad friends with Li Jinyang, and Li Jinyang's subordinate Zhang Guangzhao is a typical representative.
Although Li Jinyang has a bad temper, he is just and upright, and he is also a strict requirement for his subordinates to take on heavy responsibilities as soon as possible. But Zhang Guangzhao "is kind and does not know the donkey's liver and lungs", he obviously does not think so, because Zhang Guangzhao is small-minded, which makes Li Jinyang's criticism of him change its taste in Zhang Guangzhao's heart long ago, and he has always held a grudge in his heart.
Deep in the enemy camp
Once, when Li Jinyang led his army to fight in Jiangxi, he was unfortunately captured, and the rest of his subordinates thought that he was dead, but what he did not expect was that Li Jinyang relied on his ingenuity to escape from the enemy camp. Li Jinyang, who came to his own territory, was known by Zhang Guangzhao, and Zhang Guangzhao wanted to take revenge, so he went to Yamen to report Li Jinyang's conspiracy to rebel, otherwise how could he be let go by the other side. The officials of Yamen also felt that it was right to think so, but now that Li Jinyang was under Zeng Guofan, if he wanted to dispose of him, he still had to ask Zeng Guofan.
Zeng Guofan was well aware of Li Jinyang's handling of people, and when he heard this remark, it was aimed at Li Jinyang, and Zeng Guofan asked the officials of Yamen to release the people, but instead let people dispose of Zhang Guangzhao, on the grounds that they intended to disturb the hearts of the army and had a wrong mind. After all, Zeng Guofan's own principle of doing things is: "Useless people are becoming more and more rampant." The official position of the yamen was inferior to that of Zeng Guofan, and the words of his superior Zeng Guofan had to be obeyed. But Zhang Guangzhao did not expect that he wanted to harm others but was killed, it was really smart and was mistaken by wisdom. I don't know if Zhang Guangzhao will regret what he did and start a fire.
Get into trouble
Li Jinyang heard afterwards that it was Zeng Guofan who saved himself, and he was grateful in his heart. Li Jinyang planned to prepare gifts to visit the door, who knew that as soon as he entered the door of Zeng Guofan's mansion, he was arrested. Before Li Jinyang could figure out what was going on, he heard Zeng Guofan give an order: Pull it out and behead it. Li Jinyang was stunned and asked him what he had done wrong. Zeng Guofan's answer was obviously somewhat official: "You have defeated our army miserably, and the losses are serious, and they should be cut down." ＂
The words had been spoken, they could not be withdrawn, and though the multitudes found it inconceivable, they did not dare to say anything. Combined with the fact that people were talking about it at that time, in addition, Zhang Guangzhao's rumors had already resounded all over Jiangxi, and the hearts of the people and generals had planted seeds of doubt for Li Jinyang.
Therefore, although Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and other generals all recognized Li Jinyang's talents, this could not change the assumption that if he caused great losses by the rebellion of thieves, the so-called "greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Therefore, Zeng Guofan was pregnant with "not afraid of ten thousand, just in case", for the sake of insurance, Zeng Guofan could only endure the pain of cutting love and chose to kill Li Jinyang.
Deal with the aftermath
Cao Renmei also understood Li Jinyang's affairs, knew Li Jinyang's sincere heart, and Cao Renmei was a little unbearable in his punishment. Cao Renmei asked the person in charge of beheading to tap and leave him a whole corpse. After the punishment was completed, Cao Renmei, in line with the friendship of friends and teachers and students, helped him to be buried and resettled. However, when he was about to enter the ground, Cao Renmei heard Li Jinyang's breathing and thought that he still had help, so he looked for someone to treat him.
Cut your hair as a monk
Sure enough, Li Jinyang did not die, and after recovering from his injuries, he decided not to go back and mix right and wrong, and chose to shave his hair as a monk, hide his name, and follow the Buddhist gate. Li Jinyang, who became a monk, did not abstain from sex like other monks, so he had a long-term relationship with the nuns of the monastery and married three nuns to spend his old age together. There is a passage that reads: "Later, when he heard that he had cut his hair and entered the empty gate, he was called a monk, and the three concubines were also bhikshunis." "It's a true portrayal of it."
Looking back at Li Jinyang's life, from joining the Heaven and Earth Society, defecting to the Qing Dynasty, to the capture of Li Xiucheng, the king of Zhong, and finally returning to Nanchang to surrender himself and being sentenced to death by Zeng Guofan. Li Jinyang's life was full of ups and downs, in his thirties as a proud general enjoyed the scenery of the horse, the spirit of the sword tianya, and then was captured and fearful to disguise and escape, but was framed, just like the duckweed in the lotus leaf, floating and heavy, it is no wonder that Li Jinyang, who was not dead in death, chose not to ask about the world, shaved his hair as a monk, and spent his life in the temple with three nuns. In his later years, Li Jinyang did not know whether he could still remember the glory of the past.
Compared with Li Jinyang's life, the early stage is like the bustle of listening to the song, but in the later stage, it is inseparable from the song and the people are cold. This life is like a concert, some people arrive early, some people leave late, music begins with silence, and finally returns to silence, just like the journey of life.
No matter how delicately and gracefully the music is played, the music will eventually stop, and the crowd will eventually disperse, as if nothing had happened. The present, the past, like incense, keep burning, the burned into ashes drifted with the wind, becoming nothing, only a faint memory of the person who has been experienced, how much do you remember the scenery you have traveled?
