Chapter 253 Huang Wenbing who was framed
Although this person is the villain created by the Water Margin, but thinking about this person's deeds, this person does not forget to work in his life, listens to nursery rhymes, and reverses poems; has strong reasoning ability, and deduces from the nursery rhymes that Song Jiang, who consumes the country because of domestic wood and swords and soldiers; Discerning the flaws in the forged letters, he can see them at a glance. is really a rare excellent agent in the Great Song Dynasty, and finally died in the line of duty, which can be sung and cried. Let's take a look at other "positive" civil servants in the Great Song Dynasty: Dean Dai Zongdai, who forcibly accepted bribes and fornicated with Liangshan; saw Lu Daruti, who was wanted by the imperial court Shi Jin and sat down to drink tea; On both sides of the wall, Cai Fu, who is happy to collect money, and Cai Qing, a flower...... What a contrast!
Water Margin described Huang Wenbing's beginning as a "wild place" and a "judgment in idleness" for the army. The Wuwei Army is a unit parallel to the state and the government, and the Wuwei Army was precipitated from Luzhou in the early Song Dynasty to build the Wuwei Army, Lingchao County and Lujiang County, which belong to Huainan Province and cannot be regarded as a "wild place".
Huang Wenbing's official position is Tongju, which is the provincial name for "Tongju State Affairs" or "Governor Tongju". It is not an idle official like the Ming Dynasty, but an important official position, a party member. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, in order to strengthen the supervision and control of local officials, and prevent the governor's authority from being too heavy and specializing in making things bigger, Song Taizu created the post of "general judgment". The general judgment is directly appointed by the emperor to assist the county government, and can be regarded as the deputy position of the governor, but has the power to report directly to the emperor. The order issued by the Zhizhou to his subordinates must be signed by the general judgment before it can take effect, and the name of the general judgment is also due to the fact that the upper and lower official documents are jointly signed by the Zhizhou. At first, the imperial court selected the Beijing officials to serve, and later changed to the supervision of the transfer envoys, the system envoys, and the promotion department. All state government affairs such as soldiers and civilians, money valleys, household registration, enlistment, prison lawsuits, etc., must be co-signed before they can take effect, and they have the power to supervise officials, known as "prison states". The general judge could directly report to the emperor on the situation in the state, and had great power, and was actually an important eye and ear of the emperor in the state, responsible for supervising officials. From this point of view, the general judgment is not suitable for an idle official, but an important official of the imperial court.
Huang Wenbing's elder brother Huang Wenye in the book is a great benevolent person, and he is very worried about his younger brother's actions, and scolds him: "Do such a short-lived thing again!" If you have nothing to do with it, why do you want to harm him? If there is a heavenly principle, the retribution is only in front of you, but it is not the other way around! "Water Margin" takes Huang Wenbing, who is enthusiastic about serving as an official of the court and does not derelict his duties, as a villain, and takes Song Jiang and Zhu Tong to release Chao Gai, Song Jiang, and Lei Heng as acts of loyalty, I am afraid it is a bit of putting the cart before the horse. In fact, Huang Wenbing is not a corrupt official, at least not a mediocre official, and can even be said to be a capable person.
And where is Huang Wenbing's talent? First, Huang Wenbing saw Song Jiang's poem on the Xunyang Tower: If he is Ling Yunzhi, he dares to come to Huangchao without his husband! Huang Chao is the leader of the rebellion! His first reaction was "anti-poetry", which shows that he is thoughtful and quick to respond;
Second, Huang Wenbing immediately transcribed it and asked Cai Jiu to arrest Song Jiang immediately, but Song Jiang pretended to be crazy and stupid under Dai Zong's order. Cai Jiu "ignored it" in the face of Song Jiang, who was pretending to be crazy, and Huang Wenbing came to the screen, "and called the camp to send and sign the head, asking this person if he was crazy when he came, but he has been crazy recently." If you are crazy when you come, it is a real disease", which shows that Huang Wenbing is not confused by the appearance of things, and sees the essence through the phenomenon, and immediately exposes Song Jiang's tricks.
Third, in order to save Song Jiang, the Liangshan Group asked the first-class master at that time to imitate Cai Jing's handwriting, and this fake family letter scheme was concealed from everyone in Jiangzhou, including Cai Jing's own son Cai Jiu, but he did not hide it from the shrewd Huang Wenbing, and look at his analysis: "Xiang Gong Rong replied: 'When the family letter came, did you have this book?'" The prefect said: "I don't have this book in the family letters that I usually come to, but I just write it casually." This time I must have the book box at hand, so I printed this book on the cover. Huang Wenbing said: "Xiang Gong is on leave to blame Xiaosheng for talking too much. This book was concealed from the public! Fang is prevalent today, Su, Huang, Mi, Cai, and the four fonts, who doesn't learn some? It's just that this book was made by Ling Zun Enxiang when he was a scholar of Hanlin, and many people have seen it in the text of the Fati. Now that he has been promoted to the prime minister, how can he be willing to use Lin Shu? It is also a book sent by a father and a son, and books must not be used in obscure characters. Ling Zun Taishi is a wise and far-sighted person who knows the poor world, and Anken makes a mistake? The minister didn't believe Xiaosheng's words, but he could carefully interrogate the next person who had seen who came from the house. If it's wrong, it's a fake. Hugh blamed Xiaosheng for saying more, because he was wrongly loved, he dared to speak up. With only one stamp, he had insight into Liangshan's treacherous scheme, Wu Yong was really useless in front of Huang Wenbing, that little trick was just a pediatric in the eyes of Nengchen Huang Wenbing, and he easily discovered Wu Yong's conspiracy and caught the accomplice Dai Zong, and broke Song Jiang pretending to be crazy. All this shows that Huang Wenbing is meticulous, sensitive and decisive, has extraordinary talents, and also has the loyalty to care about national affairs. Huang Wenbing can be said to be a non-idle person. From this point of view, Huang Wenbing's exposure of Song Jiang's anti-poetry is a loyal and conscientious civil servant, not a "harmful person".
It's a pity that such a person was killed by Song Jiang and his ilk, shedding the last drop of blood for the Great Song Dynasty.
After Song Jiang was robbed, the small town of Wuwei Army was in danger, and Huang Wenbing, at this time, put his personal safety at risk, and still went to the prefect's house in Jiangzhou in the middle of the night to discuss matters, and was exploited by Song Jiang's people, resulting in the whole family of forty or fifty children being unjustly killed and being arrested.
When Song Jiang saw Huang Wenbing, he scolded: "Huang Wenbing! You! I have no grievances with you in the past, and there has been nothing in the near future, how can you only harm me, three times and five times, instigating Cai Jiu's prefect to kill me two! How can you do such poisonous things when you read the books of the sages? I don't have anything to do with you to kill my father, how can you plot against me! ”
It's a pity that Song Jiang preached loyalty to the country all his life, but he didn't understand that reading the book of sages and sages meant to be loyal to the emperor, and loyalty to the emperor could not tolerate Song Jiang's anti-poetry, Huang Wenbing revealed Song Jiang's long-hidden anti-intentions in his heart, and it was a pity that Huang Wenbing had the intention to kill the thief and was unable to return to the sky, if it weren't for the corrupt officials in Jiangzhou, and the Confucius in charge of the case helped Song Jiang, Song Jiang's head had already landed, where did Song Jiang's rebellion destroy the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and provided help for the Jin State to attack the Song Dynasty, Song Jiang can be said to be one of the reasons for the fall of the Great Song Dynasty. He didn't fight like Song Jiang and Dai Zong, but only asked for death for his beliefs, and a generation of talented Huang Wenbing died tragically under Li Kui's knife, woohoo and mourn!
The murderous black whirlwind Li Kui "cut the sharp knife from the leg first, and the selected one was burned on the charcoal fire in front of the wine, cut a piece of burning, and cut Huang Wenbing when there was no piece, Li Kui cut the knife open the chest and took out the heart and liver, and made a sobering soup with the leaders." Since then, Song Jiang, a little writer, has also begun his career as a robber and finally became a robber leader in the green forest, and it can be said that killing Huang Wenbing, a good official, is also a turning point for Song Jiang to change from a government official to a green forest leader.
