Chapter 198: A man's life's ambition is fulfilled
Li Ranran continued watching the video, and then scrolled down to look at the titles of the videos that interested her.
One of the covers below showed a man and a woman in red sitting opposite each other, looking at each other. Li Ranran felt that they looked familiar, and after looking at the title, he clicked on it without hesitation.
[New Water Margin | Burning Group Portraits | People in the world are obsessed with fame and fortune, but they are afraid that fame and fortune will not end in success]
(The man who was sentenced to death by stabbing was drunk. He was shocked by the wind and recalled the past. He felt hatred and sorrow. After borrowing a brush and inkstone, he ground the ink and went to the white wall to write:
"I have studied classics and history since I was young, and I have also become politically savvy when I grow up. Just like a tiger lying in the wilderness, hiding its claws and fangs to endure. Unfortunately, I have tattoos on my cheeks, and I am exiled to Jiangzhou. If I have revenge in the future, my blood will stain the mouth of Xunyang River!"
After writing, he seemed to be mad, and wrote on the wall to express his inner anger:
"My heart is in Shandong, but my body is in Wu. I drift along the rivers and seas without complaining. If I can achieve my lofty ambitions one day, I will laugh at Huang Chao for being a coward.")
Gao Yanei said arrogantly: "I am the son of General Gao, I will not pay for killing someone!"
...
Shi Jin smiled and said to everyone: "Look at all those civil officials who are useless, even the military generals are useless."
Lu Zhishen made a big fuss at Mount Wutai, smashing the clay statues of King Kong Heavenly King Heng and Ha, saying as he did so: "The world worships you, but you are just a hollow clay statue, heartless. Today I will make you pretend to be deaf and dumb, and pretend to be powerful. When I hit you, I am hitting this hypocritical world. I will smash you to pieces later!"
Lin Chong persuaded Song Jiang, saying, "Now that treacherous officials are in power and loyal people are suffering, I can see what will happen to you in the future."
Song Jiang said: "None of us brothers are born to be bandits. It is only because of the treacherous officials like Cai Jing and Gao Qiu who are in power, blinding the emperor's wisdom and killing loyal officials that we are forced to go to Liangshan. We brothers gather here not to rob, kill and burn for the sake of momentary pleasure. All the righteous men gather in Liangshan to eliminate violence and protect the good, and to enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"
The heroes of Liangshan held incense in their hands and shouted, "I hope we can meet in this life and in every other life, without any obstacles, just like today."
...
"We are living a good life, why bother to ask for peace? It would be much better to just stay here on Liangshan Mountain and eat big chunks of meat and drink big bowls of wine every day."
"Although we can live happily every day, we cannot stop the encirclement and suppression by the soldiers, and we cannot get rid of the reputation of being a bandit for generations."
...
"We followed our brother to fight Fang La, not for meritorious service and becoming an official, but to solve the important task that Brother Gongming and Brother Junshi have been worrying about."
"At this moment, Song Jiang is not thinking of any grand ambitions. I just hope that the brothers who drink this bowl of wine with me can survive after this battle."
...
Li Kui drank the poisoned wine, and when the poison took effect, he knelt down and hugged Song Jiang, asking, "Brother, why is the sky and the earth outside red?" Song Jiang replied, "Brother, the sun has set."
Li Kui drank the poisoned wine, knelt down and hugged Song Jiang and asked, "Brother, why is the sky and the earth outside so red?"
Song Jiang replied: "Brother, the sun has set..."
...
"People in this world are obsessed with fame and fortune, but they are afraid that their fame and fortune will not last long."】
＜Zhang Qing and Qiong Ying who first confessed their love on the cover [heart]＞
＜I hate the plot killing. After the surrender, they fought against Fang La. The Liangshan heroes died too casually, drowned or bitten by snakes [split]＞
＜Alas, think about it, they are just star officials who come to the human world to experience tribulations, and they will return to heaven after death＞
＜"Surrender, surrender, what surrender!"
"Your emperor's surname is Song, and my brother's surname is also Song. You can be the emperor, but my brother can't be the emperor!"
"Go to Tokyo and seize the throne!" [Dog Head]＞
＜I am so angry at Song Jiang, this capitulationist!!!＞
＜Each era has its own literature. We should not use modern thinking to criticize ancient literature. Just like in Water Margin, isn’t it the world that should be cursed?＞
＜They went to the mountains because of the world, and they left the mountains because they were unable to change the world. The most controversial point about Song Jiang is that he accepted the amnesty, but Liangshan was originally a group of bandits. They could not escape that era. "Being forced to go to Liangshan" was a helpless act. Who wants to rebel? Who wants to be a bandit all his life?＞
＜If Song Jiang is a capitulator, then the Emperor Zhao of Bianjing City is the real capitulator. In the end, the whole family went on a trip to the Kingdom of Jin [eating melon]＞
＜The Liangshan heroes are admired by thousands of people when they die; the four treacherous ministers are despised by thousands of people when they are alive＞
＜In recent years, the trend of characters in the four great classics is as follows: watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" scolds Liu Bei for being hypocritical, watching "Water Margin" scolds Song Jiang for being hypocritical, watching "Journey to the West" scolds Tang Monk for being hypocritical, watching "A Dream of Red Mansions" scolds Xue Baochai for being hypocritical [thumbs-up]＞
＜The wind direction changes every once in a while, that’s how the Internet works [covering face] However, I think everyone else is fine, but even if it takes a long time, I still want Monkey King to give Tang Seng a stick! ＞
＜There have been too many conspiracies in recent years [sigh]＞
＜Water Margin is underestimated. Before Dream of the Red Chamber was published, Jin Shengtan commented: "Among all the writings in the world, there is no one better than Water Margin; among all the gentlemen who study the world, there is no one better than Mr. Shi Naian."＞
The full name of "Water Margin" is "The Loyal and Righteous Water Margin", where the two characters "loyalty" and "righteousness" respectively mean "to be loyal to the country" and "to be righteous to friends".
＜Song Huizong was not blinded by his wisdom, he was just a scumbag, a dog emperor!＞
＜Alas, there were so many heroes in the Song Dynasty, but the emperors were useless＞

"Oh my god, what year is it today? I actually saw a clip of the new Water Margin."
Li Ranran's understanding of Water Margin comes from the new version of the TV series. She can't remember whether she hated Song Jiang at that time, but she still remembers the CP Zhang Qing and Qiongying, and the death of the Liangshan brothers after being summoned to the imperial court.
The most impressive scene is when Li Kui and Song Jiang drank poisoned wine, and Wu Yong committed suicide in front of Song Jiang's grave...
When I grew up and learned that Water Margin was about the late Northern Song Dynasty, I became even more disgusted with the Northern Song Dynasty.
People watching the light curtain video
From the beginning of the video, I felt that the "Heroes of Liangshan" were just a group of bandits and there was nothing interesting about their story.
Halfway through the video, "The world is like this, the world is like this, why are there such people? Aren't they forced by treacherous officials?"
After the video was played, "After being recruited, they all died???"
Look at the comments, "Oh, the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the two emperors were taken captive to the Jin Dynasty... Alas."

Song Dynasty, Kaibao Year 3
Zhao Kuangyin was in the mood to correct that the surname of the Song Dynasty was Zhao. Later, it was said that the Zhao family surrendered and went on a trip to the Jin Kingdom with their family.
Damn Zhao Guangyi!!!
"Bring Zhao Guangyi over to me."
Although Zhao Kuangyin did not kill him out of brotherhood, whenever Guangmu mentioned Song, Zhao Kuangyin would go to the palace where he was imprisoned to practice boxing.
After watching the light curtain on the road, Zhao Guangyi had already guessed what his brother was going to do to him again. As expected, when he was limping into the palace, before he could even see his brother's dark face, he felt dizzy, his head hit the stove, and his limbs went numb.
"You are a filthy bastard. Each of your offspring is more cowardly than the last. You are not fit to shoulder the responsibility of this great cause!"
"..."

Song Dynasty, the first year of Xuanhe
It has been two years since the death of the six thieves, and one year since the death of Song Huizong Zhao Ji.
The new officials of the Song Dynasty were selected from the lineage of Taizu.
The Jin Kingdom conquered large tracts of land from the Liao Kingdom at lightning speed.
Zhang Shuye discovered that the brother Song Gongming from "Water Margin" projected on the light curtain was the leader of the rebellion he was suppressing!
Now the Song Dynasty still had to accumulate strength to prevent the Jin thieves from going south. Regardless of whether this Song Jiang was the same person as the "Song Jiang" on the screen, he had to try to recruit him, no, persuade him to surrender.
Song Jiang dared to revolt with only thirty or so brothers. If someone from the imperial court came to persuade him to surrender under normal circumstances, he would never even look at them.
But now, there is silence.
...
The folk restaurant discussed the content of today's light curtain:
"Where are the heroes of Liangshan in Water Margin?"
"I heard that the emperor and the ministers have ordered that all the rebels will not be held accountable. If you are willing to serve the court, it will be a great pleasure to fight the Jin thieves in the future and avenge their shame!"
"I also want to follow General Yue to fight the Jin thieves."
"Hey, General Yue is still working for General Zong! He might as well go and join General Zong."
"Then do you think there will ever be a day when things will get better in this world?"
"I don't know if the world will get better, but I know we must not let the Jin thieves go south!"
...

Song Dynasty, the second year of Chunxi
Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Liu Qi and Li Xianzhong all headed north, and the people along the way lined the streets to see the northern expedition soldiers off.
After watching the light curtain, Han Shizhong said with emotion: "I really want to read the Water Margin written by Shi Naian, who is known as the gentleman who studies things. I want to see the best Water Margin in the world."
His subordinates Hu Yantong and Wei Sheng saw the general's praise for Water Margin, so they joked: "Since Water Margin is about events of this period, who knows, there may be some of our own shadows in the 108 heroes in it!"
Seeing the Liangshan heroes, Yue Fei could not help but think of Yang Yao. They set up camps in the Dongting Lake area. Their slogan was "equalizing the rich and the poor", but later they indulged in extravagance and brutally burned and killed people.
Later, he recruited strong men from the Dongting Lake area into Yue's army.
He is both a bandit and a Song person.
If the world is fair, without treacherous ministers, and the government is wise, can the people live and work in peace and contentment, and can the world be at peace?
Zhang Xian and Niu Gao, Yue Fei's men, looked at each other, not understanding why the general was so worried. This time the imperial court had launched five simultaneous attacks, and they had defeated the Jin bandits before. Besides, they would not issue twelve golden orders to withdraw the troops, so it would be smooth sailing no matter how you looked at it.
