"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith", as the core value system of the Chinese tradition, has influenced the cultural inheritance of China for thousands of years"Water Margin", with "righteousness" as the core, entrusts the author's understanding and yearning for "righteousness".
Of course, the righteousness of the people of the country, there are "big righteousness" and "small righteousness", for "small righteousness" they can rob their brothers and scatter their wealth and fall into the grass for the "great righteousness", for the "great righteousness" they can throw their heads and sprinkle their blood to sweep away the thieves, it can be said that they also pinned on the national blood of a specific period.

There are many stories left by Shuibo Liangshan, not only a "Water Margin" can be included, each of them can be written into a long work alone, and there are many popular folk legends, no matter what"Leopard head" Lin Chong, or"Timely rain" Song Jiang and "Black Whirlwind" Li KuiWait a minute.
But among the heroes of Liangshan with one hundred orders and eight generals, no matter how heroic and dry, butVery few people have a "good death"., after all, it is a group of "reckless", and it is better than those masters of power and scheming above the court. And among these few good men who have a good ending, there is one person who really has to say, that isRanked last in the thirty-six "Tiangang" "Tianqiao Star" Yan Qing.
There are many stories about Yan Qing, but what I want to say here is that after he went south with the large army to Fangla, he did not wait for the court to reward himAfter persuading Lu Junyi to resign and go into hiding, he bid farewell to Lu Junyi, left Song Jiang, and returned to the rivers and lakes on his own。Now that you've gone into hiding, why do you want to pick up a load of jewels at night?
There is not much ink about this paragraph in the original work, only that it is said that the heroes of Liangshan marched south to Fangla, sacrificed many brothers, and only got 36 heroes to win the class, and lost a few people on the way.
Yan Qing was originally a clever personSeeing that a group of brothers were beaten to pieces for the Song Dynasty, and only twenty or thirty people survived, he wanted to persuade his old master, Lu Yuanwai, to resign and return to the mountains and forests.
But what he didn't want Lu Yuan to think about was to seal his wife and return to his hometownInstead, he blamed Yan Qing for doing something "fruitless"., even if Yan Qing took out Han Xin, Peng Yue and others to learn from history, his old master would understand.

In desperation, Yan Qing had no choice but to bow to Lu Yuan for eight times, and repair a letter to Song JiangOvernight, he packed up a load of gold jewelry and jade and left, and disappeared.
From his words to persuade Lu Yuanwai, it is not difficult to see that he is indeed a "Tianqiao Star", clever and thorough, and can see that although his brothers "broke the Liao soldiers in the north and conquered Fangla in the south", they made immortal contributions to the Song DynastyThat's the role of the heroes of Liangshan.
He can be regarded as seeing through the corruption of the Song DynastyNo matter how his brothers made contributions, they were just a vanguard when they conquered Fangla in the south, the real function is another person's leader. And now there are not many brothers left, and the court is not worried that these Liangshan heroes will get together again to rebel, exactly"The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden".The best time to do it.
It was precisely because he understood this that he wanted to persuade Lu Yuanwai to retreat to the mountains and forests with him. But since you have decided to live in seclusion, you can't prepare for the expenses of the rest of your life for decades, andThese gold and jade jewels are in your hands, and by the way, you can pack a little and take them with you, so you don't have to worry about the future.

This is just the most basic survival needs of ordinary people, and there is nothing difficult to understand. But in addition to this layer of preparing for a rainy day in life, are there any other ideas mixed in it? That's definitely thereYou must know that Yan Qing is not a reckless manHe is a rare eight-sided character among the hundred and eight generals in Liangshan.
In fact, in addition to leaving enough living capital for the future life, as a "clever person" who has already seen through the darkness of the court, the cowardice of the royal family, and the power of the ministers,Yan Qing had a thought in her heart: Since I was born and died for you, I have to give something back.
You must know that because Lu Yuanwai was "earned" by Liangshan to go up the mountain,He took refuge because of his loyalty and righteousness to follow his masterHe didn't plan to die for the court. Later, a group of brothers got together, and they were taken by the leading brother to be recruited, but he couldn't help it.
But in his heart, whether it is to be recruited to colludeMaster Li, or the southern and northern wars, nothing more than to come together with the brothers and continue to follow their masters together.
Film and television works: Yan Qing and Li Shishi).
Now that the battle that should be fought has been fought, the contribution that should be made has been made, and the master is reluctant to accept the glory and wealth without listening to persuasion, there is no need to make senseless sacrifices anymore. Now that we have decided to break away, in our concept, should we "brush away after the incident, and not touch the leaves" is the true character of the hero?
In fact, since it has been decided to live in seclusion from now on, these contributions made by the imperial court must not be done in vain, even if they don't take it, the wealth collected from the southern and northern wars will no longer fall into the pockets of the brothers as beforeInstead of cheapening those Gao Taiwei and the like in the court, it is better to take some with you. This is also the reward you deserve, isn't it.
From this point of view, his action also illustrates a very important problem:In his mind, he never said that he would work for the court. Everything he did, from the general direction, of course, was to contribute to the stability of the Song Dynasty, but from his personal point of view, it was just for a group of brothers, or more simply, just to repay the favor of his master Lu Yuanwai.
Film and television works: Yan Qing beats).
After all, he was adopted by Lu Yuanwai since he was a child, although in the process of "earning" Lu Yuanwai in Liangshan, he has also been with Lu Yuanwai many times, but in general, without Lu Yuanwai, there would be no self.
It is precisely because of this key point thatWhen he left the Liangshan army, he packed up this load of gold and jewelry overnight and picked it up, and he also wanted to make a break with the brothers who continued to follow Song Jiang to work hard for the imperial court.
You must know that after he told Lu Yuanwai that he was leaving, he didn't go to see the other brothers in the team, and secretly left overnight with gold and jewelry aloneHe didn't want to see Song Jiang, and this point was very clear, He knew that Song Jiang was eloquent, but he was afraid that Song Jiang would be retained by Song Jiang with "righteousness" at that time, and he would not be able to erase his face, so he just left a letter.
In fact, leaving a letter is also a line with Liangshan from then on: Since then, everyone has gone their own way, a few of you brothers went to the imperial court to add officials to the knighthood, and our little brother Yi went to be chic and happy with money.
This load of jewelry is to take away his future life security, and to take away the money from his life and death, more, or to show their determination.
Film and television works: Liangshan heroes).
In fact, according to the consistent practice of the heroes of Liangshan, if this money was in the past, it would have been distributed to the brothers by the eldest brother. We saw it when we hit the waxYan Qing took people to copy the entire "palace" of Fang La, the gold, jewelry, and jade in it are piled up, but they are all in the hands of Liang Shanjun.
Now that the team is already the "regular army" of the imperial court, it is naturally impossible to directly "share the spoils" like in the past when "occupying the mountain as the king".These spoils of war will definitely be confiscated from the treasury.
But Yan Qing didn't want to do this, he wanted to tell his brothers that everyone used to be like-minded together, and because of righteousness, he could stick a knife in his brothers' ribs. Now that everyone has taken a different path, I don't need to do what you agree to now, I won't take more, butIt is also my personal "right" to distribute the spoils in the way I want.
So he didn't take it casually, but asked his subordinates to "pack" a load of gold and jewelry jade and carry it away overnightIt's not that you take it alone, but let your subordinates "clean it up".
Film and television works: Liangshan heroes).
He wanted to use such an action to tell Lu Yuanwai, Song Jiang and othersThe determination to go here, everyone's past feelings should be broken from this moment, after all, everyone will not be fellow travelers in the future.
From the fact that Yan Qing took away a load of jewelry overnight when he left Song Jiang and the others, it can be seen that he is a very assertive person. Later, because everyone was really happy together, they had enough momentum to "do business" together, and it was all because of "righteousness".
Now that it has come to this point in time, most of the eight brothers and sisters of one hundred and eight have been lost, and his master Lu Yuanwai is also about to realize his long-cherished wish to be his wife Yinzi, although he knows itThe things above the court are not suitable for their brothers, but they can't bear to have their own ideas.
Film and television works: Yan Qing).
The so-called "it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and wealth".Rather than not ending well or breaking up unhappily in the future, it is better to retreat bravely and be free.
Yan Qing is indeed a person with a seven-trick exquisite heart, he used a load of gold jewelry and jade, not only to solve the future life problems for himself, but also to show that the reason why he was born and died was for the most important "righteousness" word of Liangshan heroes.
But he also understood that there were many people in the court who disdained to be in the company of this group of recklessly born people, and they looked down on this team. But on his own, it is difficult to change the minds of the remaining "big guys".In this case, you can only choose to "stay alone".
That's where his cleverness comes inIt is not only righteous and not "foolish".Sure enough, it deserves to be ranked thirty-six "Tianqiao Star".
