Water Margin is one of the four famous works in China, telling the story of the good man of Liangshan for the Skywalker, many of which have become household names and the talk of tea and dinner.
There are many stories of good men in Liangshan, but Song Jiang, as the leader, seems to have always been a role that is not very pleasing, including the process of his going to Liangshan, which is forced to go to Liangshan helplessly, and there is no sense of hero and good man at all.
Song Jiang's liangshan on the River actually originated from a fortuitous incident, which is that he killed his own woman Yan Boxi, which is a very famous story and a turning point in Song Jiang's life's fate.
So why did Song Jiang kill Yan PoXi, you must know that at that time, Song Jiang's work was stable, the status of the jianghu was also good, and he belonged to the type of small life, why would he be so impulsive and kill his own woman.
It is said that there are ten murders and nine adulterys, and the occurrence of many murders is related to the matter of men and women, but Song Jiang killed Yan Po Xie, it is really not because of the matter of men and women, although Yan Po Xi is indeed unruly, but this seems that Song Jiang does not care so much, so why did he kill Yan Po Xi in the end?
On the surface, Song Jiang was because Yan Po Xi took her correspondence with the good man of Liangshan, coupled with Yan Po Xi's non-compliance, step by step, and finally killed Yan Po Xi, but this is only a superficial reason, the real reason is more complicated.
To return to this question, we must first return to another question, that is, is Song Jiang married?
This seemingly boring question, there is actually a great meaning behind it, if you ask Song Jiang if he is married, the answer is that Song Jiang is not married, then who is Yan Boxi and what is the relationship with Song Jiang.
Yan Po Xi is just a Quyi woman who sold her body to bury her father, Song Jiang bought her as a concubine, remember here is to buy, when the Ming Dynasty, the status of concubines is very low, especially this kind of bought concubines, nominally concubines, in fact, it is similar to slaves, the master is completely treated as property, you can monopolize again.
Yan PoXi's identity is humble, helpless, is an important reason why Song Jiang dared to kill him, the two powers harm each other the lesser, if Yan Po Xie's status is more noble, or Yan Po Xi is the right wife, Song Jiang certainly does not dare to kill her, even if the situation was very dangerous at that time, then there must be other ways to deal with it, not necessarily very murderous.
The second reason is song jiang's identity, many people think that Song Jiang is an errand boy in the yamen, at least a small official, but in fact, it is not, Song Jiang is not an official, but an official.
In ancient China, there was a very strict distinction between officials and officials, in simple terms, officials were court personnel with formal establishments, while officials were not appointed and could not be promoted, and those who did specific work were not in the staff.
Officials are all read the Four Books and Five Classics, all the way through the examination, and if they win the examination or enter the army, they can become officials, while the officials are experts in a field and play the role of an auxiliary official.
Because of the nature of officials, this kind of people's inferiority has led to them, but in the operation of the actual official government, the role played by officials is very large, and he is a transitional zone between officials and people.
Why Song Jiang was so rich was because he had a lot of gray income, this kind of thing was semi-public at that time, and although Song Jiang himself was not high in martial arts, the fierceness in his heart was still there.
In the face of Yan PoXi, a woman of low status, plus Song Jiang is not that kind of nerd type of person, in anger, Song Jiang finally killed Yan Po Xie.
Song Jiang was not a weak scholar official, he knew that he would do things to the extreme, killed Yan Po Xi, and saved the letter, indicating that Yan Po Xi had no status here in Song Jiang.
