Volume 1 Wind and Rain into Lin'an Chapter 156 Bizarre
The history of Qin Hui has always been the focus of discussion among the courtiers and officials of the Great Song Dynasty and the common people. In the second year of Jingkang, the second emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, together with the concubines, the princes, the emperors, the royal family, and countless gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jades were taken captive to the north, which was the darkest and humiliating moment in the hearts of the soldiers and people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Back then, among the captives who went north for a long time, Qin Hui was among them. But unlike the fate of others, Qin Hui not only did not encounter the tragic fate of the Great Song royal family in the Jin Kingdom, but seemed to be quite appreciated by the Jin people. First of all, a letter begging for mercy from Huizong to Wanyan Zonghan, who was then the generalissimo of the Jin State, was written by Qin Hui with the help of Emperor Huizong. And this move was appreciated by Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zonghan also rewarded Qin Hui with ten thousand yuan and ten thousand horses to show encouragement.
To put it bluntly, Wanyan Zonghan likes Qin Hui's servile attitude. Compared with other Great Song courtiers who were exiled to the Jin State with Emperor Huiqin and the Second Emperor of Huiqin, Zhang Shuye, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Shuye, a scholar of the Zhongshu Chamberlain, He Li, the Shangshu of the Military Department, Sima Fu, the servant of the Military Department, and Chen Guoting, the Imperial History Zhongcheng, Qin Hui was obviously a breakthrough to break through the psychological defense line of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers. He should be given a proper courtesy, which is also an inducement and demonstration for other monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty. www.99^9)xs(.co^m
So when his master, Emperor Huiqin II, was abused like a dog in tattered clothes, unable to eat enough and clothed, Qin Hui had become a guest of honor among the ministers of the Jin State clan.
It is rumored that there is a very outrageous thing, which is enough to show Qin Hui's shamelessness. Wanyan Zongbi, who succeeded Wanyan Zonghan as the generalissimo of the Jin State, once hosted a banquet for Qin Hui, and the maidservants served on the seat turned out to be all the concubines and emperors who were taken captive from the Great Song Dynasty. Qin Hui was able to be calm, which shows his shamelessness. Of course, this is just hearsay.
But in addition to the above rumors, Qin Hui's plan to march into the south for the Jin people is a certainty. After Wan Yan Zonghan died of illness, Qin Hui was given Wan Yan Chang, the left deputy marshal of the Jin State. I don't know what means were used, Wan Yanchang was also very fond of Qin Hui. Soon, Qin Hui found a position as a staff officer under Wan Yanchang's account. A former important minister of the Great Song Dynasty began to give advice to the Jin people to the south.
In the third year of Jianyan, Wan Yanchang led the army south, and the main direction of attack was the Huaidong battlefield, and the first hard bone encountered was Chuzhou. Under the leadership of the guard general Zhao Li, the soldiers and civilians of Chuzhou fought to the death, resisting the enemy for several months, and finally ran out of ammunition and food, and the city was broken and martyred. Qin Hui played a very disgraceful role in it, the war was anxious, he wrote a letter of persuasion to Zhao Li at the end of Yan Chang's order, and asked Zhao Li to surrender the city.
In the fourth year of Jianyan, the soldiers and horses of Yanchang were stationed in Shanyang, and one day in October, Qin Hui and his family and his wife left Jinying, and crossed the river south through Lianshui County to return to Lin'an City. According to his own account, he killed the soldiers of the Jin Army who were guarding him and fled from the Jin camp to return to the Great Song Dynasty.
After Qin Hui returned to Lin'an, he naturally aroused the suspicion of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers. First of all, the focus of suspicion was how Qin Hui could escape from the camp of tens of thousands of Jin troops unscathed. Even a fool knows that the difficulty of this matter is comparable to climbing to the sky. Qin Hui said that he killed the guard Jin Jun and fled, if he was alone, it was still possible, but he came back with a lot of his wife and concubines, how could this be possible? Moreover, after Yan Chang's army went south, it was okay to take Qin Hui with the army, how could he be brought in the army with Qin Hui's wife and children. Skeptical officials argued that this was clearly a deliberate arrangement.
Secondly, Qin Hui also did a lot of what he did in the Jin State was known to the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, when Zhang Shuye, He Li, Chen Guoting and other loyal ministers would rather die than give in, Qin Hui wrote a begging letter to Wanyan Zonghan, the generalissimo of the Jin State, for Huizong's advice, which shows that Qin Hui was despicable and despicable, and trapped the lord in unkindness and injustice. Not to mention that he later became Yan Chang's subordinate, gave advice for him, and wrote a letter of persuasion to Zhao Li, the envoy of the Lianshui Army in Chuzhou, and asked Zhao Li to persuade him to surrender. Although I didn't see the letter of surrender, the people who experienced the battle of Chuzhou knew about it, and they had already reported it to the imperial court.
It stands to reason that with these two suspicions and the evidence of Qin Hui's apostasy and groveling, Qin Hui's return to Lin'an this time should be more auspicious and less auspicious, and he will definitely die. When the two countries are at war and live and die, it is unlikely that they will be merciful to such renegades. However, things in this world often cannot be dealt with with common sense, and many things that seem to be certain may not be reversed.
Of course, Qin Hui explained. Regarding the suspicion of how to escape from the Jin camp with his family, Qin Hui's explanation is that the Jin people fight with their families, and he has special exceptions. At that time, he belonged to the staff and military position under Wan Yanchang's account, and he had the right to carry his family and small army. As for how he could escape, he said that he took a car to the front of the battlefield to check the terrain and make a plan for the battle under the pretense of Yan Chang's order. He hid his wife and children in a cart and went out of the camp together, accompanied by only four or five Jin soldiers, and he took advantage of his unpreparedness to kill them all and escaped. Qin Hui said, whether you believe it or not, this is the case. What you can't do, I may not be able to do.
As for the various actions in the Jin Kingdom, Qin Hui also explained them one by one. He said that the reason why he wrote the begging letter for the emperor was not for himself, but for the sake of the two officials. Qin Hui said that the Jin people were extremely cruel and extremely rude to the two saints. The north is bitterly cold, the two saints are unserved, their clothes are thin, they can't eat, and as a courtier, they can't wait to die headlong. But what's the use? As a courtier, he should relieve the worries of the Lord, and even the food and clothing of the two saints cannot be guaranteed, which is a dereliction of duty for the courtier. Speaking of what happened to the second emperor of Huiqin, Qin Hui burst into tears, grabbed the ground with his head, and was heartbroken.
Qin Hui said that the second saint was locked in the shaku-narrow room by the Jin people, the house was broken and the snow was cold, his clothes were thin, and he shivered with cold. Qin Hui also recited a poem written by Huizong in prison on the spot. The poem says: The west wind shook the door all night, and the depressed lonely hall was a little light. Jiashan looks back for 3,000 miles, and there is no southern goose flying in the sky. The desolation, sadness, and gloom of the desolation made everyone who heard it frightened. Qin Hui said that he was a very courtier, how could he bear the suffering of the lord. He would rather bear the infamy than write that letter so that the Jin people would be lenient with the two saints. That is his loyalty as a courtier, and that is also his original intention. Qin Hui said that if this matter is considered wrong, then he is willing to be punished, and there is no second word.
When the court heard Qin Hui's words, they all felt sorry in their hearts. Thinking about it, Qin Hui was eager to protect the master, and it seemed that it was reasonable to make such a move.
As for the fact that he was thrown into the account of Marshal Jin Guo as an official, he was accused by everyone of being a traitorous trip, and Qin Hui also explained.
Qin Hui said that he expressed his admiration for the behavior of Zhang Shuye, He Li, Sun Fu, Sima Pu, Chen Guoting and others. Several adults would rather die than bend their knees to the Jin people, and of course he greatly admired and agreed. Qin Hui said that he could have done the same, but he didn't think it was the only way. If everyone is willing to die, although they are loyal and generous, and they are famous in history, what can they do in big things? Qin Hui said that his consideration at that time was to be false and resigned, Han Xin could still be humiliated by his crotch, and King Yue could lie down and taste new courage, why couldn't he follow their example and keep a useful body for the future.
Qin Hui said that although he was vain and wronged on the surface and accepted the reward from the Jin State, his heart was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. He said that he had never offered a single strategy to the Jin people, but he used his identity to probe a lot of intelligence information about the Jin people's soldiers and horses, which was all in his own mind, which would be of great use in the future. He said he knew it would cause misunderstanding, but he would rather be misunderstood for the sake of justice. For the most difficult to explain the matter of persuading Zhao Li of Chuzhou to surrender, Qin Hui's explanation is even more incredible. He said that what he wrote was not a letter of persuasion, but a letter of information about the amount of grain and grass that the Jin people and horses had deployed. He was eager to inform Zhao Li of the information of Wanyanchang's army, but he had no good solution, so he used the letter of persuasion to write a letter of persuasion as a disguise and wrote a hidden letter. Qin Hui said that although the battle of Chuzhou was lost, it was precisely because of his letter that he informed the information that Zhao Li was able to calmly deal with the attack of the Jin. If it weren't for Zhao Li's death from the injuries of Feishi, he believed that the Battle of Chuzhou would have been won. Qin Hui said that because Zhao Lizhan died, no one testified for him, and the letter was missing. If necessary, he could recall and repeat the contents of the letter.
Everyone was dumbfounded, what they never expected was that all these accusations not only did not confirm the fact of Qin Hui's betrayal, but made him seem to have achieved his image of being willing to suffer humiliation and humiliation for the sake of the country and the righteousness, which was really unexpected.
Qin Hui just pushed it clean and rejected all the accusations. Of course, this was not enough for him to clear the suspicion of the small court monarchs and ministers. In fact, there is no empirical evidence for everything, and neither the accuser nor the defended Qin Hui himself can come up with real evidence. The people involved are no longer alive, the letters involved are lost, and no one can make a real judgment.
At this time, Fan Zongyin, then the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and Li Hui, the privy envoy, stood up to speak for Qin Hui. Their reason is that when Bianliang was not broken, Qin Hui once opposed the land cut, and later opposed the Jin people to set up Zhang Bangchang as the puppet emperor. So judging from the performance at that time, these two believed that Qin Hui was a loyal minister, and he was by no means a renegade.
The two bigwigs of the DPRK and China spoke, coupled with Qin Hui's ability to defend himself, and finally reversed the situation. The imperial court finally recognized Qin Hui's identity and let him return to the court. The comedy of fate is like this, Qin Hui's cunning and eloquence and speculation about people's hearts have made him pass this most difficult level.
ps: Most of Qin Hui's experience in this chapter comes from historical materials, and some of them are deductive imagination. We hereby inform you.
