Hi everyone, I'm a bug world, follow me, and continue to update more reviews about literary stories!
In the novel "Water Margin", there are many heroes in Liangshan who also like to gamble before going to Liangshan, and they can also be called gamblers.
However, although these people can be called gamblers, they are all righteous heroes.
But there is such a person, who is also a gambler, but he brings the essence of a gambler to the extreme. It can be said that as long as it is beneficial to himself, he can use it for gambling regardless of the life or death of others.
He is Tang Long, the lone star on Liangshan.
Before, when the insect world was talking about Lu Zhishen, the lone star, he once said that the reason why Lu Zhishen was lonely was mainly because his personality was too strong and he was not easy to get along with.
And Tang Long, who is a lone star, although he ended up alone, the main reason is because he has never treated others as human beings.
According to the novel, the Lone Star Tang Long's background is not bad, his father was the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, so Tang Long can also be regarded as a descendant of the official eunuch family.
If Tang Long can respect himself, maybe life will not be too bad. But because Tang Long somehow contracted the vice of gambling, his family fell into the middle of the road, and finally could only rely on iron to make a living.
By chance, Tang Long met Li Kui, especially when he heard that Li Kui was one of the famous Liangshan heroes, Tang Long's gambling heart suddenly rose, and he felt that Li Kui was worth fighting for. So, regardless of whether Li Kui agreed or not, he knelt on the ground and recognized Li Kui as his eldest brother.
In fact, it has long been made clear in the book that Tang Long recognized Li Kui as the eldest brother not without purpose, because Tang Long himself said that he hoped that Li Kui would "bring his brother". So, with Li Kui's recommendation, Tang Long successfully became a hero in Liangshan, although he still can't do without iron, but his life is much stronger than outside.
This time, Tang Long bet right.
After the bet was right, Tang Long tasted the sweetness, and seeing that Liang Shan couldn't crack Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses, Tang Long took the initiative to ask for help and reported Xu Ning's name.
If it is said that Xu Ning and Tang Long are strangers, everything is okay, the key is that Xu Ning is Tang Long's aunt and brother. And more importantly, although Tang Long is the son of an official eunuch, after all, his family is in the middle of the road, and Xu Ning is currently a celebrity in front of the emperor.
So, Tang Long thought it was necessary for him to take Xu Ning to make the biggest gamble.
If the bet wins, not only will Tang Long's position in Liangshan be consolidated day by day, but Xu Ning's identity will be the same as his own, so that Xu Ning will no longer have any sense of superiority in front of him.
Even if he loses the bet, it is because the heroes of Liangshan are not capable of getting Xu Ning up the mountain, and he still has a good reputation for being virtuous and not avoiding relatives.
However, it is not difficult for us to see that Tang Long's gambling this time is definitely forgetting profit.
After all, Tang Long gambled with Xu Ning for his own interests, not for the so-called salvation of Liangshan. Moreover, after Xu Ning went up the mountain, although Liangshan's strength was strengthened, it was Tang Long who benefited the most.
It's really harmful to others and not to yourself!
In the final analysis, the reason why Tang Long is so profit-seeing, forgetful, is because he is still a gambler after all, how can a person like this be called a hero of Liangshan?
Perhaps, although the author's original intention is to promote the spirit of the so-called Liangshan heroes, he also has to admit that the so-called Liangshan heroes are just murderous demons in a nest of snakes and rats. Everyone has their own disgrace, and if Tang Long doesn't have any stains, he is indeed not a real Liangshan hero.
And from another point of view, although Tang Long is a person who forgets righteousness, then don't other people on Liangshan also forget righteousness?
