Why did Song Jiang poison Li Kui? Why was Li Kui poisoned by Song Jiang

I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the Water Margin, "The Water Margin" reflects the class contradictions and class struggles of feudal society from the side through many stories in a large number of pages, thus revealing the class relations of feudal society. For the behavior of the heroes of the uprising of "fighting righteousness and squandering wealth and returning to the water, taking revenge and hating Shangliangshan", the work enthusiastically praised. The author tries his best to portray the "loyalty, faithfulness, and righteousness" of the heroes of the Water Margin, as well as the excellent character of fearlessness, and shows a group of vivid heroes who are brave and courageous, and have flesh and blood in front of readers.

But in the Water Margin, I think Li Kui actually died more unjustly, why do you say that? He was better to Song Jiang than his own brother, he was very loyal to Song Jiang, and he once saved Song Jiang's life, but he was finally killed by Song Jiang, why is Song Jiang so ruthless? Let's take a look at the situation at that time, first of all, let's take a look at Song Jiang, at that time, Liang Shan was bent on following him, basically there was no good end, and Li Kui who I want to talk about today is the same, when Song Jiang was about to be executed, it was Li Kui who saved Song Jiang desperately, and he was basically Song Jiang's savior!

Moreover, after Li Kui went up the mountain, he also assisted Song Jiang wholeheartedly, and made a lot of contributions, basically without any complaints or anything like that, but in the end he died in the hands of Song Jiang, who was full of benevolence and righteousness! There is also Chao Gai's dying last words, facing Song Jiang in front of all the leaders, saying: "Brother Xian, don't blame me: ."

If the one catches and shoots me, teach him to be the master of Liangshan! This later also verified that Song Jiang said that the person who killed Chao Gai, I won't explain much, I wrote in a previous article, back to the topic, after Song Jiang was the boss of Liangshan at that time, he led the heroes of Liangshan down the mountain to recruit peace to the imperial court. But at this time, Li Kui almost ruined Song Jiang's future, at that time Li Kui was very opposed to Song Jiang's Zhao'an, just take Li Kui's words, "Zhao'an, Zhao'an, Zhao'an!"

It is said that the elder brother's surname is Song Jiangshan, and it is better to lay down the country together and let the elder brother be an emperor. But Song Jiang didn't think so, and felt that Zhao'an was the best place to go, so that he could be prosperous and wealthy, and glorify his ancestors, so Song Jiang had to kill him later. Otherwise, you will block your way to recruit security!

In the end, all those who went down the mountain with Song Jiang to recruit an did not end well, and finally ended in failure, and Song Jiang was also killed by the imperial court! If Song Jiang hadn't recruited at that time, maybe the heroes on Liangshan would not have faced this fate! <>

Why did Song Jiang poison Li Kui, this detail, which has always been considered a failure by ancient researchers, is inevitable in Zhou Siyuan's view. "Li Kui is in Runzhou, that is, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, is the place where the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River meet, it has been a traffic artery since ancient times, Li Kui still has 3,000 soldiers and horses, if Li Kui does not die, the Jin soldiers invade, then Li must defend the Beijing Division, then there will be no emperor captured. Moreover, Huizong was scared when the Jin soldiers invaded for the first time, passed the throne to his son, and ran to Runzhou, if Li Kui did not die, would he directly use a plate axe to split this bastard emperor at that time, or would he directly revolt again?

Therefore, "Li Kui must die". Of course, Zhou Siyuan admits that although "Water Margin" has many flaws in terms of ideological content, it is still an undeniably great artistic masterpiece. <>

Because Song Jiang wanted to poison Li Kui.

There are many reasons why Song Jiang poisoned Li Kui before he died, so let's briefly analyze it.

The first reason is that Song Jiang is worried that if Li Kui is still alive after his death, he will avenge himself and cause great trouble. Li Kui is reckless and scheming, and he only recognizes Song Jiang all his life and only obeys Song Jiang's management. If Li Kui learned the real reason for Song Jiang's death after Song Jiang's death, then Li Kui, who had no one to discipline him, would definitely recklessly act according to his own temperament, not only hurting himself but also affecting many innocent people, so it was safest to poison him.

The second reason is that Song Jiang was afraid that Li Kui would rebel and destroy his good reputation of recruiting peace and being loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, Song Jiang still recognized the rule of the Great Song Dynasty very much in his bones, and he also tried every means to curry favor with the Great Song Dynasty and serve the Great Song Dynasty, even if he killed and injured dozens of brothers. And if Song Jiang left Li Kui in the world, then Li Kui would definitely avenge Song Jiang.

At that time, Li Kui will definitely be labeled as a rebel and slander Song Jiang and others as the loyalty of the Great Song Dynasty.

The third reason is that Song Jiang wanted to use the poisoning of Li Kui to show loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, and also wanted to warn others not to avenge themselves. Song Jiangming knew that the Great Song Dynasty wanted to eliminate himself, but he still accepted it willingly, which shows that Song Jiang wanted to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and poisoned the henchmen who could avenge him, of course, it was also a manifestation of loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, poisoning this closest confidant can also warn other henchmen not to have thoughts of revenge.

The fourth reason is that Li Kui has killed too many people and done too many bad things before, Song Jiang is worried that Li Kui will be assassinated without his own protection, so it is better to let Li Kui die as soon as possible. Whether Li Kui rescued Song Jiang in the Jiangzhou robbery field, or chopped the young Xiao Yanei with an axe, it was a manifestation of evil. Therefore, Song Jiang must be worried that Li Kui, who has no one to protect after his death, will be assassinated by the Great Song Dynasty or Li Kui's enemies, so Song Jiang did this as a kind of protection for Li Kui.

Because Li Kui has always been a revolutionary who opposes the imperial court, Song Jiang is afraid that after his death, Li Kui will re-form a gang to rebel against the imperial court and ruin the reputation of loyalty and righteousness that he has broken through for many years, so Song Jiang must poison Li Kui to death before he dies. Li Kui died, and Song Jiang didn't have any worries.

First, Song Jiang and Li Kui met.

The biggest advantage of Song Jiang is that he can win people's hearts and minds, and he is very suitable for being a leader. A small official in Yuncheng can be famous in the entire rivers and lakes, and people on the underworld and white roads are full of praise for Song Jiang.

Song Jiang was originally a person in the government, but because he killed Yan Po by mistake, when the Qing file was sent to Jiangzhou, through Dai Zong's introduction, Song Jiang met Li Kui. At that time, Li Kui's performance was simply very bad, cheating Song Jiang money, going to gamble, and then beating people, Dai Zong and Song Jiang apologized and repaid the money, etc., in short, Song Jiang and Li Kui spent 80 taels of silver for Li Kui on the day they met, and Lin also gave Li Kui 50 taels of silver as pocket money.

Song Jiang was so generous to Li Kui that he was moved by Li Kui, and even praised Li Kui, saying that Li Kui was a real man. Li Kui began to hear that Song Jiang's name was a little admired in his heart, but he didn't expect that Song Jiang had done so many things for himself today, and he was so good to himself, Li Kui was impressed by Song Jiang.

Second, Li Kui is Song Jiang's most loyal fan.

Since then, Li Kui has been obedient to Song Jiang, Song Jiang asked him to face west, he didn't dare to face east, Song Jiang asked him to catch chickens, he didn't dare to catch monkeys. Later, when Song Jiang was escorted to the execution ground and collapsed, it was Li Kui who charged into the front and killed Song Jiang and rescued Song Jiang.

Since then, Song Jiang has also made great use of Li Kui, making Li Kui, a reckless man, his right and left hand. Li Kui was not convinced by anyone in Liangshan, and he wanted to fight everyone when he saw him, but when Song Jiang said "Iron Bull", Li Kui became an obedient rabbit.

Third, Li Kui opposed Song Jiang Zhao'an.

In Li Kui's heart, Song Jiang is the sky, when Song Jiang said the issue of Zhao'an, Li Kui directly objected, he wanted to enter the capital and let Song Jiang be the emperor. Although this sentence is a bit absurd, it is a more reliable sentence for these heroes on Liangshan, which is ten thousand times stronger than Zhao'an.

Later, on the road to Zhao'an, including when so many brothers died after the success of Zhao'an, Li Kui's heart still wanted to enter the capital and let Song Jiang's brother be the emperor. The mentality of him, a revolutionary, has never changed from the beginning to the end.

Song Jiang knew this, and the entire Liangshan heroes knew that if Li Kui knew that after Song Jiang was poisoned by the imperial court, he would inevitably revolt again to avenge his brother. Because after Song Jiang's death, there is no one who can surrender Li Kui, and Li Kui will follow his own heart to avenge his most respectful brother.

Song Jiang poisoned Li Kui before he died for the sake of his own fame, and Li Kui did not blame Song Jiang after knowing it, but on the contrary, he said that he was willing to go underground to follow his brother.

and Fujian ** according to the Housing Authority.

In the Water Margin, Song Jiang and Li Kui are good brothers, so why did Song Jiang poison Li Kui? In fact, Li Kui himself would not have thought that he used to be so happy and chic, and how much he trusted Song Jiang, but now he died in his hands. Maybe history is so capricious, playing tricks on people's fate, why did Song Jiang, who once regarded himself as his own, kill himself?

Because the relationship between Li Kui and Song Jiang is extraordinary, and the interests of the two people are the same, because Li Kui wants to survive, he must rely on Song Jiang, rely on his brother who believes in the truth, Song Jiang wants to develop himself, he must establish cronies for himself, but the honest man Li Kui's attitude towards Song Jiang is different from Li Kui, Song Jiang is a person at the top of the food chain, and Li Kui must pay a great price if he wants to follow Song Jiang, so Li Kui is not only willing to do anything for Song Jiang, he is willing to do the work of dogs and horses, Therefore, the relationship of interest between two people is hidden.

Song Jiang and Li Kui's own relationship is actually as the original people said, that is, the interdependent relationship is not strong at all, Song Jiang in exchange for a good reputation, he killed Li Kui, so that Li Kui could not destroy his own plans, the narrow-mindedness of the scholar himself is reflected, this is also a matter of no way,

So Li Kui never dreamed that Li Kui himself would be killed by the brother he served, which also sounded the alarm for people, and greatly made people see that the most important person is actually not important sometimes, as long as he becomes strong, he can protect himself.

Song Jiang has been talking about loyalty all his life, but I think Song Jiang is actually a hypocrite, the reason why Song Jiang did these things is to package himself, it can be seen from this that Song Jiang's emotional intelligence is very high, he finally sacrificed so many brothers in Liangshan in order to be able to Zhao'an, it can be said that Song Jiang's official position was exchanged for his brother's life. But what he didn't expect was that those people in the court still couldn't let him go, he had already regretted it after drinking the poisoned wine, but it was too late, since his life was coming to an end, it was okay to leave a good reputation, so he chose to poison Li Kui, he did this to save his reputation.

Liang Shan finally bleached at such a big cost, and Song Jiang and the other brothers finally became small officials as they wished, even if they died, they still had to keep this official hat. According to Song Jiang's words, "I will not fight to the death, only Li Kui is now in charge of Runzhou, if he hears that the imperial court has committed such a treacherous act, he will inevitably go to the mountains and forests again, and ruin the matter of my reputation and loyalty." This is the only way to do so.

Song Jiang deeply understood Li Kui's feelings for him. Once Li Kui knows that he has been poisoned, he will definitely go back to the underworld and do everything in his power to retaliate. In this way, Liang Shan has worked hard for a long time, spent a huge price to be recruited, and the results of successful bleaching will be wasted.

For Song Jiang, he can still control Li Kui if he doesn't die, if he dies, Li Kui will take revenge, I'm afraid no one will be able to control it. For the sake of the name behind him, or the official hat of "Doctor Wude, the pacification envoy of Chuzhou and the head of the soldiers and horses", Song Jiang finally blackened this loyal brother before he died, and gave the poisonous wine that ** gave him to Li Kui to eat. Because Song Jiang knew that no matter what he did, this little brother of the Iron Bull would be willing.

Sure enough, when Song Jiang told Li Kui that he had given him poisoned wine for fear of his rebellion, Li Kui cried and said, "Stop, stop, stop!" When he was alive, he served his brother, and when he died, he was just a little ghost under his brother! For Li Kui, dying on the same day as Song Jiang is not an acceptable ending.
