Friends who have watched "Water Margin" must be very familiar with the one hundred and eight liangshan good men, in addition, the villain Gao Li believes that everyone has an impression, in "Water Margin", Gao Li's appearance is a city gangster. Gao Li was favored by Emperor Huizong of Song for his superb ball skills, and thus was reused, and then Gao Li became a complete villain. One hundred and eight will actually be fictional, or most of them do not exist in history, but Gao Li has really existed in history.
Gao Li (高俅), a powerful minister at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. According to relevant historical records, Gao Li was originally a knife and pen official around Su Shi, and he was also proficient in certain poetry and song talents, and a little accomplished. In addition, he had also studied martial arts and could dance swords and guns; Keju was indeed one of his strengths. According to this record, Gao Li should be a well-rounded person, but at that time, he could only belong to the three religions and nine streams.
Gao Li's fortune and the interpretation of "Water Margin" are quite similar, Su Shi recommended Gao Li to Wang Jinqing out of good intentions, and by chance, Gao Li showed his superb skills in front of Song Huizong, and Song Huizong had a good impression of him, so he left Gao Li by his side, and then Gao Li relied on his flattery and Liu Zhongwu's help to gradually be reused.
Soon Gao Li was given the title of managing the forbidden army, but he did not work hard here, but instead played a lot of flower racks, virtual and unreal, greatly reducing the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, which also caused other officials in the court to be dissatisfied with Gao Li.
But you want to say that Gao Li is an ungrateful villain, this can not be said, for Su Shi's recommendation, Gao Li remembered in his heart, when Su Shi was persecuted by Cai Jing, Gao Li did not stand idly by, but reached out to help, and su Shi was indeed grateful to Dade. For Liu Zhongwu, who has always been kind to himself in the official field, Gao Li also did not hesitate to give back.
Seeing this, everyone may have completely subverted the original impression of Gao Li, and there is a certain difference between the interpretation in "Water Margin". Gao Li was not a traitor, nor did he join Forces with Cai Jing, nor did he recruit Fang La's rebel army. Perhaps this is the demand in film and television dramas, to highlight the characteristics of the characters.
Of course, whether Gao Li is a good person or a bad person, can not be simply summarized, perhaps Gao Li is just an ordinary character, for his own survival or development, did some ordinary people do things. But what is surprising is that Gao Li eventually became a lieutenant (the highest official in charge of the military in the central government of ancient China, the highest military commander in the country), but there are few historical records of him, let alone any legends, which also leaves room for everyone to think.
