Why did Sung River burn Huang Wenbing alive?

The bodies of Gao Qiu and Cai Jing are vegetarian and mediocre, but they bear the mighty emperor's favor; Song Jiang and Lei Heng are like a duck to water in the dark, acting as umbrellas for the underworld; Only Huang Wenbing and Huang Wenbing, who denounced Song Jiang for writing anti-poems, are not necessarily good people, but he is a loyal minister who is still worried about the Great Song Dynasty. It is a tragedy for Huang Wenbing and Dasong that a person loyal to Dasong can't get the protection of the government he is loyal to, and his whole family is destroyed. (1) There are roughly four kinds of officials in the Song Dynasty described in Water Margin: the first kind is a "simple and honest" person like Lin Chong. Excellent ability, honesty, correctness and diligence. However, this kind of professional officer who is not stained with mud is not allowed by the court and officialdom, and can only go to Liangshan on a snowy night. The second kind of talented official is Jiang. Still superior in ability and good at tactics. But I saw all kinds of ills and future destiny of the dynasty. Working for the court is entirely for rent-seeking. I use my strength to make friends with black and white people and find a way out for myself. As far as dynasties are concerned, these people have long been "in Cao Cao's heart, in the Han Dynasty". They are perfunctory about the laws of the dynasty, have no inner respect and awe, and even collude with "anti-thieves". If they turn back, it will be the most lethal. The third kind of officials, such as Cai Jiu and Gao Lian, occupied the main Tianjin. Most of them are incompetent and immoral. The only thing they can do is to flatter and please the Constitution, bully and blackmail people and subordinates. They aroused boiling public anger, and they created all kinds of hatred against the dynasty. However, because most of them are "deeply rooted" and have strong backers in the imperial court, as long as their corrupt behavior is played skillfully, most of them will not bring them punishment, and even rise to the top. The fourth kind of official is Huang Wenbing. They come from the cold window, study hard, have knowledge and ability. In order to find a way to promotion in officialdom, on the one hand, they worked hard for the court, on the other hand, they sacrificed their self-esteem, distorted their personality and polluted their conduct with officialdom. Therefore, he is a bad person to the people, but a loyal minister to the court. Because there is no father like Cai Taishi and no brother like Gao Taiwei. They have congenital deficiency in officialdom, so they can only have the cheek to climb such a big tree as Cai Taishi. However, this kind of clinging relationship is not reliable. Big officials just use them to do things and may not treat them as their own. Ordinary people and conscientious officials look down on them and are unwilling to associate with them. Such officials are "bats", and there is no way to go to the temple or go to the rivers and lakes. Therefore, I feel that an official like Huang Wenbing is very pitiful. (2) Huang Wenbing is an idle judge. In the Song Dynasty, Tongguan was a well-known official, roughly equivalent to the level of vice governor, and was considered as a middle-level official. However, in the imperial era, the ranks of the first mate and the adjutant were almost the same, but their powers were quite different. Most people who make general judgments are from imperial examinations. They deal with the experiences of various officials through general judgment, and then they are promoted to the position of chief officer step by step. The book does not explain how Huang Wenbing was dismissed and stayed at home. But I can't think of more reasons than this: First, because of corruption and bribery, in the imperial era, "being an official for thousands of miles is only for money", because corruption is generally a victim of political struggles and attacks by political enemies. The second is that it is unfavorable to do things and offend the boss, which has been written down. The third is that the relationship with colleagues is too bad, and too many people are offended, so there is no shelter. But the root cause is that there is no hard mountain. If there are backers like Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, greed for ink is not a problem, and the boss can't provoke him. If there is an accident, he is just transferred to a different place to be an official, and his colleagues are even more helpless. Huang Wenbing, who came home from work, crossed the river to visit Cai Jiu. Because Cai Jiu's family held a public banquet, he was afraid to go in. It shows that he can't enter the circle of Cai Jiu's "Childe Party". As such a person who has been dismissed from office after studying hard at a cold window, it should be a reasonable expectation to want to be an official again. At the end of the day, he wanted to find a way out within the system of the Dasong Dynasty, instead of secretly linking Liangshan with strong bandits like Song Jiang and preparing for rebellion. If Song Jiangdu dares to boast of "loyalty", Huang Wenbing is even more "foolish". Seeing the poems inscribed by Song Jiang, ordinary bastards can't understand them, and those who can understand them often don't care. Anyone who scolds the mother of the imperial court may even go along with it. But Huang Wenbing's desire to recover was so strong that he copied it down and took the credit of Cai Jiu for himself. See him borrow a pen and paper from the bartender to copy, ask the person who wrote the poem clearly, and then tell the bartender not to scrape the poem off the wall to avoid losing the evidence. So well organized, it can be seen that he is really a capable official. When I heard Cai Jiu describe the nursery rhymes and abnormal astronomical phenomena in Beijing in his father Cai Jingxin, I immediately thought that "the country is consumed by wood, and the sword refers to water" and "Yuncheng Sung River" who wrote an anti-poem were one person. When comparing two unrelated evidences, he found a major problem. How experienced and vigilant, always observing public opinion, always alert to the signs of civil dissatisfaction with the court. There are too few such officials. Some idiots like Cai Jiu are still at home, but they have lived in eight places and built an official position. Sung river playing dumb, Huang Wenbing saw through. Wu Yong and others forged Cai Jing's fake letter, and he caught it. He also suggested that Cai Jiu behead Song Jiang and Dai Zhong in the city to avoid future trouble. This meticulous, calm and decisive style shows that he is indeed a very qualified official trained by the civil service system in the Song Dynasty. As an official trained by the dynasty, it is the greatest dereliction of duty to turn a blind eye to unusual public opinion and not see through the flaws of crime. (3) For Song Jiang, being put on death row for writing anti-poetry is a real literary prison because of his writing. For Huang Wenbing, since the imperial court regarded the inscription of anti-poetry as "rebellion", it was his duty to find it in time. Let's imagine, if Song Jiang and Dai Zhong were not beheaded by classical Chinese and reported to the court, the first hero must be Cai Jiu, and Huang Wenbing would get a spoonful of soup at most. Huang Wenbing still hasn't got what he deserves. Huang Wenbing is quick in dealing with specific affairs, but he is clever but unwise. He didn't see that the Song Dynasty he hoped for was a weak dynasty, and all the organs in his body had failed. Song Jiang and other officials, even senior officials such as Su Taiwei, saw farther than he did, turned a blind eye to robber behavior, and even provided convenience, and had no hope for the court at all. They talk about "loyalty" and are full of small desires, but they please both sides. So Huang Wenbing didn't expect the officers and men of Jiangzhou to be vulnerable in front of Liangshan bandits; I didn't expect Cai Jiufu to make such a low-level mistake, beheading the principal of Liangshan's robbery, and didn't clear the scene in advance, didn't close the city gate, and let Liangshan people come in and rob, as calmly as going home; Don't make an emergency plan once you rob the gift site, so that those who rob the gift site will get away with it; For such an important whistleblower in Huang Wenbing, the necessary protective measures were not taken. None of this would have happened if Cai Jiu had been replaced by Huang Wenbing. Huang, my brother, is a good man. He was worried about his brother's behavior and scolded him, "Do this short-lived thing again! It's none of your business. Why did you hurt him? If there is justice, retribution is only in sight, but it is not a disaster! " As an official, Huang Wenbing took the initiative to expose and detect all kinds of behaviors of Song Jiang's inscription against poetry and associating with thieves, but it was regarded as "harming people"; Cai Jiu and Murong, such fatuous officials, sit still; Officials Jiang and Zhu Tong were honored as "righteous people" because they tipped off the robbers and even released them. How terrible the image of the Song Dynasty in the hearts of ordinary people is! (4) Sung River's revenge on Huang Wenbing is so cruel and inhuman. It was the Dasong Dynasty that harmed Song Jiang. Huang Wenbing was just a screw on the ship of the Dasong Dynasty, but Song Jiang killed a family of forty or fifty people in Huang Wenbing and set fire to their house. When Zhang Shun caught Huang Wenbing in front of Song Jiang, Huang Wenbing still showed the integrity of a scholar and said, "I know my fault, but I just want to die early!" I'm afraid he knows that his fault is not only interfering in the "affairs" of the court, but perhaps he regrets not seeing that the magistrate he relied on was so incompetent and the court he served was so weak. An able person who is loyal to his own court like Huang Wenbing may win the respect of western enemies. But Song Jiang, who claimed to be "loyal to the imperial court", hated the real loyal subjects. Let Li Kui jy cut off Huang Wenbing's meat with a sharp knife, roast it on charcoal fire and drink a little, and make Huang Wenbing's mind-clearing soup. But in the late Liangshan period, Sung River caught Gao Qiu, a big traitor, and regarded him as a VIP instead. So, Huang Wenbing is a real villain, and Song Jiang is a hypocrite. A real villain is cuter than a hypocrite. Huang Wenbing's biggest mistake was that he regarded the imperial court too seriously and trusted its ability too much. The warning significance of Huang Wenbing's death is that if you are too serious and don't work for the imperial court, you will get burned and the imperial court won't really protect you. A big official like Cai Jiu will run away at the slightest sign of trouble. After Huang Wenbing's death, the Song Dynasty will at most commend him as a magistrate, but the people will not sympathize with you at all. So, you can fool the court.
