Earlier, we analyzed the two-sided image of Lin Chong - on the one hand, the image of a good man who is really ancient and hot, and the image of selfishness on the other, why is this so? In fact, if we take a closer look, most people on Liangshan have two faces: one is the face of a real good man, and the other is the face of a fake good man.
Among them, the most typical is not Lin Chong, it should be said that It is Song Jiang. Is Song Jiang a good man? Perhaps modern people feel that Song Jiang thinks about Zhao An every day, and he is definitely not a good man. In fact, no, Song Jiang also has his own good man side, and this side is still very extreme, otherwise he would not be able to become the leading big brother of The 108 Good Han of Liangshan on his terms - after all, his martial arts and appearance are too poor.
The first good thing about Song Jiang is that he is really timely rain - no matter who it is, when he meets him, he will feel like a spring breeze. Chao Gai committed the great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and Song Jiang risked his life to release him; Li Kui lacked pocket money, and he directly gave Li Kui silver without Li Kui saying; Wu Song lacked travel expenses, and Song Jiang also inadvertently gave the money to Wu Song, which not only saved Wu Song's face but also eased Wu Song's embarrassment. Such a good brother, how can he not be a good man?
The second good side of Song Jiang is that his courage is very large, which he even has some heroic taste. First of all, let's look at the big banner he planted on Liangshan Mountain, which reads "For the Heavenly Path" four big characters. You know, the ancient "path for heaven" is not as simple as we have now. The ancient emperor was also called the Son of Heaven - then, it was actually the Son of Heaven who ruled the world for the heavens.
Therefore, the chess piece of "for the Heavenly Path" can only be done by the emperor according to the reason. Song Jiang, a small bandit, actually dared to erect the banner of "For the Heavenly Path", and it was no wonder that the Song Dynasty would send a large army to fight them repeatedly.
Some people may say that he is doing the way for the "Son of Heaven", and he himself never wants to be the emperor, otherwise he would not have always thought of Zhao'an, and he would always think of becoming the emperor's courtier. So, did Song Jiang himself ever want to be an emperor? Let's take a look at the anti-poem of Song Jiang's title:
"The heart is in Shandong, in Wu, and the floating pengjiang sea is full of whimpering. When he was ling yunzhi, he dared to laugh at Huang Chao's husband! ”
The ancients attached great importance to the realm of poetry, and often a poem can see a person's courage, and even can see whether a person will have the heart of an emperor. For example, Li Zicheng, the leader of the late Ming Uprising, wrote a poem when he was a child:
"A body of armor is rampant, full of xuanhuang is not easy to evaluate."
Habitually stealing the valley to Qiu Qi, preferring to steal the camp in the night moon.
The double ao is just a steel fork lift, and the eight strands are like a sword.
I am only afraid that the anglers will set up erbium and send the boiling kettle to the remnants. ”
Looking at this thing, it is almost like anticipating Li Zicheng's own life. What is "a body of armor running rampant"? Didn't Li Zicheng, who revolt through the army, become a warlord who called the wind and rain? What is the name of "habitually stealing the valley to the autumn, partial to the night moon secret stealing camp"? Isn't this Li Zicheng, who likes to engage in sneak attacks? What is "only afraid of the anglers to set up erbium, catch the boiling kettle to send the remnants"? Isn't this the end of Li Zicheng?
So if you look at this poem written by Song Jiang, the first two sentences are descriptions of his personal encounters, and the last two sentences are very interesting.
First of all, let's talk about the phrase "Ling Yunzhi", "Ling Yun", that is, it is in line with the sky - or a little lower than the sky. So what is Song Jiang's own ambition? Not to be an emperor, at least to be a prince and general. And in the last sentence, he once again emphasized his ambition - dare to laugh at Huang Chao's husband!
What does The Yellow Nest do? He was the one who overthrew the emperor and wanted to be the emperor himself, but unfortunately he didn't do it in the end - Song Jiang felt that Huang Chao was not a husband, what did he want to do? Don't you just want to be emperor?
However, why does Song Jiang, who has the ideal of being an emperor, always think of Zhao'an in reality?
