The historical stories narrated by the Li family have always been characterized by authenticity and profound touching. Today I will tell you about a character who has attracted much attention in the Water Margin - Li Kui. By Song Jiang's side, he was a highly regarded member and one of the heroes of Liangshan.
Li Kui was loyal to Song Jiang and absolutely obeyed Song Jiang's will. Despite his appearance, he is loyal and honest on the inside. Li Kui never disobeyed Song Jiang's orders, but unfortunately died at the hands of Song Jiang in the end. This loyalty stems from Song Jiang's concern for him at the beginning. When they met for the first time, Song Jiang learned that Li Kui was living in difficulty, so he generously gave him ten taels of silver. This generosity made Li Kui grateful. For a person who has just met, such a help, Li Kui will naturally remember it in his heart and be grateful.
However, Li Kui is also a gambler. After getting the money, he went to the casino, but unfortunately ended up losing nothing. As a last resort, he decided to rob others of their money before continuing gambling. After Song Jiang learned of this move, he could only help again and pay off his gambling debts for Li Kui.
Li Kui comes from the bottom of society, is rarely popular, has few friends around him, and disapproves of him. However, Song Jiang only met once and helped him so much, and never gave up on him, which made Li Kui feel deeply warm. Knowing that Song Jiang has a prominent status and is still so generous and helpful, without a trace of superiority, Li Kui is even more devoted to Song Jiang and supports him wholeheartedly.
When Song Jiang fell into a life-and-death crisis and was about to be executed by the imperial court, Li Kui went to the court to rescue him desperately in order to repay his kindness. This kind of charity was at great risk at the time. Although many people expressed regret for Song Jiang at that time, almost no one dared to lend a hand, only Li Kui did not hesitate, bravely entered the law field with a double axe, and finally joined forces with the heroes of Liangshan to rescue Song Jiang. Since then, Li Kui has become a member of Liangshan and is highly respected.
However, when the imperial court recruited peace, Li Kui did not accept it, but supported Song Jiang to plot against the imperial court. Despite Song Jiang's tough opposition, Li Kui had no choice but to compromise. Before he happily went up to Liangshan, his mother stayed at the bottom of the mountain, and he went back to pick her up the mountain. Unexpectedly, he found that his mother was devoured by a tiger and was very sad. However, when he told everyone about his mother's misfortune, he was ridiculed by everyone, and even Song Jiang did not give consolation. After learning that Liangshan had added two more heroes, Li Kui thought that this was far more important than his mother's death, so he gradually became indifferent.
After the heroes of Liangshan recruited peace in the imperial court, they became pawns of the imperial court. Instead of enjoying the glory and wealth, they served the imperial court, and some were killed and some were wounded. Although they made great contributions to the imperial court, they were eventually abandoned by the imperial court. In the face of the poisonous wine given to Song Jiang by the imperial court, Song Jiang was afraid that Li Kui would resist, so as not to affect himself, so he could only summon Li Kui to drink together. Even when Li Kui learned that the wine was poisonous, he was not angry, but said with tears in his eyes: "That's it!."Served the eldest brother in life, and after death, he is willing to be a little ghost under the eldest brother's subordinates. "In the end, he died of poison.
This sentence not only expresses sadness, but also expresses Song Jiang's selfishness. History has become deep and touching under the pen of the Li family's reading of history. Each story has been carefully choreographed to present the authenticity and charm of history. Every fragment of history is unique and cannot be repeated. I will continue to present each article from different perspectives, combining my own understanding and insights.
