Bagua masterpiece (7): Will Song Jiang's "anti-poetry case" be unyielding?

In "Water Margin", due to the anti-poem under the drunken title of Sung River Xunyang Building, it was discovered by Huang Wenbing and reported to the government, and eventually it was jailed, which led to a scene of robbing the giving court, which was lively, vigorous and interlocking, and quite interesting.

So, Song Jiang was sentenced to death and almost asked, but did he give in?

Successive dynasties attached great importance and vigilance to serious criminal acts such as rebellion.

In the 20th episode, Song Jiang, as a small official with a good command of swords and pens and a good understanding of statutes, has a clear understanding of Chao Gai's and others' robbing of the birth class and their subsequent behavior: "Chao Gai and others don't want to do such a big thing! Robbed the birth class, killed the public, and hurt He Tao's observation; Destroy officials and soldiers, and capture Huang An up the mountain alive. This crime is to destroy the inheritance of Jiuzu! Although forced by others, things have to be done, but in terms of statutes, they are not immune. What if there is negligence? "

In the thirty-ninth case of Song Jiang's anti-poetry in Xunyanglou, the "deeply suspicious" Wuwei Army was also very sensitive when passing the judgment, and saw four poems sung by Song Jiang: "My heart is in Shandong, my body is in Wu, and my heart is floating in Pengjiang Sea. If he was Ling Yunzhi, he dared to laugh at Huang Chao for not being her husband. ". Immediately characterized as "this fellow is rude! He's going to hit Huang Chao! If you don't rebel, why not! "

Li Zhuowu commented, "Huang Wenbing is also a wise man and a useful person to the country. How can it not matter if the canal sees anti-poetry? Song Gongming also blamed him for not scheming, which makes sense.

The judicial decisions in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are similar to our "strike hard" in the 1980s, which are generally heavy and quick.

In the case of Song Jiang's anti-poetry, Huang Wenbing thought that "seeing is a person who also befriends the water margin (Dai Zhong) and conspires to rebel for the party. If he doesn't get rid of it early, it will be a future trouble. " When Cai Jiusheng, the magistrate, rose to the hall, he told the case hole to pay for it himself: "Make a copy of the confessions of Song Jiang and Dai Zong and stick them together; On the one hand, he wrote a card of committing a crime and taught him to go to town to behead in the future! Since ancient times,' conspirators, time waits for no one', and Song Jiang and Dai Zong have been killed to avoid future troubles. " Finally, he was sentenced to "Jiangzhou satrap, a Sung River, so he sang anti-poetry, forgot to do evil words, tied the water margin, and rebelled by law. Dai Zong, a prisoner, made a personal letter with Song Jiangmi, colluded with Liang Shanbo to force bandits, conspired to rebel and cut the law. " It can be seen that the trial of treason at the law enforcement level is extremely fast, and the punishment is more severe.

Song Jiang's so-called "anti-poetry case" is actually similar to the literary inquisition.

Because from all the details about Song Jiang in the whole novel, it is difficult to find out the traces of his commitment or keen rebellion; On the contrary, Song Jiang expressed his loyalty to the emperor and the country on many occasions, and repeatedly explained that it was a last resort to live in the mountains and wait for the emperor to woo and serve the country. As for the poem itself, it can also be explained from different angles. For example, "When I was young, Ling Yunzhi dared to laugh that Huang Chao was not a husband", so it can be considered as a former official of the imperial court. Although he temporarily went to Liangshan, he was not ashamed of Huang Chao's behavior of raising the flag to rebel.

Is also a drunken nonsense, is recognized as the most outstanding emperor Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen in the Southern Song Dynasty, handling the cat case is very measured:

Chen Liang, a native of Yongkang, Wuzhou, is "brilliant, fond of talking about soldiers, talking about style and writing a thousand words." Xiaozong once wanted to give Chen Liang an official position. Chen Liang said: "I want to lay a foundation for the country for hundreds of years, so I would rather use it to get an official position!" " Chen Liang is with a group of crazy people every day. "The meaning of drunkenness is not in wine, and it is a big talk." Being "under the calendar, it is indecent to plunder bright skin and take clothes in vain." This matter was reported to Xiaozong, who thought, "What's wrong with a scholar talking nonsense when he is drunk!" Light is free.

Of course, in most cases, emperors of past dynasties generally did not handle this matter like Xiaozong. Not only that, they usually surf the internet and affect many people, because others are not allowed to snore and sleep by the sofa; Imperial power was supreme, and feudal emperors regarded it as a forbidden place, and never allowed others to get their hands on it.

In this sense, Song Jiang is actually unyielding; What's more, later Liangshan Juyi repeatedly violated the court.
