Among the one hundred and eight generals of the Water Margin, there are some resourceful figures, such as ZhiduoXing Wu Yong and Divine Machine Army Master Zhu Wu are famous for their wisdom. So who is the wisest person in Water Margin? Not Wu Yong, but this domestic servant who went up the mountain in the later period.
This person was the servant of Lu Junyi of hebei Yu qilin, the prodigal son Yan Qing. Yan Qing was adopted by Lu Junyi from a young age, although he was said to be a domestic servant, in fact, Lu Junyi always raised him as a son, taught him martial arts, and taught him the way of being a man. Yan Qing has been very smart since she was a child, and she is also deeply loved by Lu Junyi. Later, Lu Junyi was deceived by the design of the Liangshan people to go up the mountain, and Yan Qing followed him.
Yan Qing's greatest contribution to Liangshan was to contact the famous prostitute Li Shishi, and through Li Shishi to contact the top level of the imperial court, expressing Song Jiang's intention to accept Zhao'an. From Yan Qing's contact with Master Li, it can be seen that Yan Qing is a person who understands people very well, and he did not choose to directly identify himself, but gradually, using his personal charm to get Master Li's appreciation, and then doing Song Jiang's business after gaining a good feeling.
In addition, from the contact between Yan Qing and Li Kui, it can be seen that Yan Qing's wisdom in the "workplace". He knew that Li Kui had a great relationship with Song Jiang, so when he worked with Li Kui, he tried his best to win Li Kui's favor, and he said a few words to Song Jiang, which was much better than others. And Yan Qing's wisdom made him, a servant who had ascended the mountain after him, rank into the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars.
And the most reflective place of Yan Qing's wisdom is that he finally did not want to follow Song Jiang back to the imperial court, and the prodigal son of the jianghu like Yan Qing did not have foolish loyalty to the imperial court in his heart, and naturally saw things very clearly. A group of robbers who have defeated the imperial court many times, what good fate can they have at the hands of the imperial court? So he bid farewell to his master Lu Junyi and left The Liang Shan Army. It is said that after Yan Qing left, he went to find Master Li, because the two had already made an appointment to work together to wander the world. Compared with Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others, Yan Qing is the one who really has great wisdom.
