449 Qin Hui forged a letter of rebellion

Speaking of the Southern Song Dynasty, the most resolute Lord-Peace-Wing is the Emperor Zhao Gou himself, and Qin Hui is just the most resolute executor.

There was the Song Dynasty, whether it was the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, and the whole was not conquered by force, but mainly by "peace talks". From the moment Taizu "released the military power with a glass of wine", it was decided that Song's armament would not be strong. Whether it is for Liao, or for Western Xia, and finally for Jin, this is the case.

With the lord and faction occupying the top and holding the power, it was a matter of time before Yue Fei was unlucky. But no one thought that the father and son of the Yue family were both executed, which was an extremely rare thing in the history of the Song Dynasty. If it is placed in the Ming Dynasty, it is a very ordinary event, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty killed the heroes, like cutting leeks.

No matter how bad Qin Hui was, without Emperor Zhao Go's final decision, he would not dare to kill Yue Fei's father and son.

Zhao Gou once trusted Yue Fei very much, why did he finally kill him?

In February 1137 (the seventh year of Shaoxing), Yue Fei was edicted to enter the pilgrimage to meet Gaozong, during which he had made "Good Horse Pair" with Gaozong, and then from Gaozong to Jiankang, Yue Fei's official position was also promoted to Jinghu North Road, Jingnan Road Xuanfu envoy and Yingtian ambassador.

One day, Zhao Gou summoned Yue Fei to the "Sleeping Pavilion" and gave him an order: "The matter of Zhongxing will be entrusted to the secretary."

It is ready to subordinate more than 50,000 soldiers and horses such as Wang De and Li Qiong under Liu Guangshi's department to Yue Fei. This is a measure made by the imperial court after Liu Guangshi was deprived of military power because Liu Guangshi wanted to change his guard to avoid war in the battle of Huaishang, and when he retired from the army, he made several mistakes.

Yue Fei was extremely excited when he saw the expansion of the army and the hope of recovering the Central Plains, so he wrote a "Begging Division" by hand. Yue Fei stated his plan to restore the Central Plains, and at this time, he no longer mentioned the return of the "Two Sages" or "Yuan Sages (Song Qinzong)", and only included Qinzong in the "Heavenly Family".

After Zhao Gou watched Yue Fei's recital, he personally rewarded the imperial court, and the Governor's Mansion also informed Yue Fei of Liu Guangshijun's situation. Dialing Liu Guangshijun and Yue Fei seemed to be a foregone conclusion, but Zhang Jun and Qin Hui obstructed it, Gaozong listened to Zhang Jun's proposal, ignored the "previous discussion" that had been decided, and issued an edict to Yue Fei saying: "The Huaixi army is quite tortuous. "Don't transfer Liu Guangshijun to Yue Fei.

Zhang Jun saw Yue Fei, put aside the "previous discussion" between Liu Jun and Feizhi, and asked each other about the personnel arrangements in the Huaixi Army, but Yue Fei's straightforward answer was ridiculed by Zhang Jun. Yue Fei was angry in his chest, and he took a note to beg for dismissal from his military position, and without waiting for instructions, he only explained to the accompanying secret officer Huang Zonglu, and then left Jiankang and returned to the tomb of Lushan Mother to guard the system.

When Gaozong heard of Yue Fei's resignation, he ordered the general of the Ezhou military camp to immediately urge Yue Fei to return to the army, and sent Zhang Zongyuan to the Ezhou army as a judge of Xuanfu. The court ordered Li Ruoxu and Wang Gui to go to Lushan to ask Fei to return to the army, Li Ruoxu persuaded Yue Fei for six days, and Fei only agreed to be ordered to see the court and return to the army.

Zhang Jun misused people, and finally caused the Huaixi military mutiny, and Jun resigned from the blame. Yue Fei got the news of the mutiny, and immediately expressed his willingness to lead the army into Tunhuaidian and defend the Jiankang Dynasty. Gaozong only let Yue Fei be stationed in Jiangzhou. In September and October, Yue Fei entered the Hajj and proposed to Gaozong to appoint his adopted son Zhao Ying (i.e., Song Xiaozong) as the crown prince, but was reprimanded by Gaozong.

The contradiction between Yue Fei and Song Gaozong began to deepen from this year.

At this time, the situation of the Song and Jin antagonism underwent major changes. After the death of Jin Taizong, Wanyan Kang inherited the throne, and the military leader Wanyan Sticky Han (Han name Zonghan) gradually lost power, so he died in July of that year, and the Wanyan tart lazy faction began to take power. Jin took advantage of Liu Yu's rebellion to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty, captured Liu Yu, officially canceled the puppet Qi regime that had existed for eight years, and appealed to the Song court for peace talks, on the condition that the southern land south of the Yellow River be returned, and Gaozong's biological mother Wei Shi should be returned, and the Zigong of the dead Huizong should be returned.

In February 1138 (the eighth year of Shaoxing), Yue Fei returned to Ezhou, insisting on "training troops with great strength" and "training day and night".

In order to "bend himself for peace", Gaozong further reused Qin Hui and made it connect with Jin. Han Shizhong and Yue Fei both expressed resolute opposition to the peace talks. Yue Fei said to Gaozong when he met in Lin'an: "Yidi is not credible, reconciliation cannot be trusted, and the ministers are not afraid of seeking the country, and I am afraid that future generations will ridicule it." ”

At this time, Zhao Gou was devoted to discussing peace, and was very disgusted by Yue Fei's opposition to peace.

In November, the Jin Ting sent Jiangnan edicts Zhang Tonggu and Xiao Zhe to "make peace" with the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Jin people did not call the Song Dynasty but "Jiangnan", and did not say "peace" but "edict", and completely placed the Southern Song Dynasty in the status of vassals. The ministers of the Song court had a lot of discussions about this, and there were many opponents, but these main battle figures, such as Wang Shu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and Hu Quan, the editor of the Privy Council, were either dismissed or demoted, and Zhao Ding was also dismissed as prime minister.

On the twenty-seventh day of December, Qin Hui knelt at the feet of the Jin envoy on behalf of Song Gaozong as the prime minister, and promised to cancel the Song State title, be a vassal of Jin, and pay tribute every year, and the first peace agreement between the Southern Song Dynasty and Jin was reached.

In the first month of 1139 (the ninth year of Shaoxing), the Song court announced an amnesty to celebrate the success of the "peace conference". After Yue Fei received the pardon, he asked his staff member Zhang Jiefu to draft a "Thank You and Pardon Form", indicating that he would not go along with the peace proposal, and vowed to "spit on Yanyun and serve the country with revenge".

Yue Fei sealed the official titles of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions of the imperial court, although he did not accept the three edicts, he said in his dictionaries: "Today's things can be dangerous but not safe, but worrying but not congratulating. It can train soldiers and soldiers, and be prepared; And don't talk about meritorious deeds and make fun of Yidi. "

Zhao Gou was particularly angry, and issued a "warm edict", and Yue Fei had no choice but to accept it.

Later, Yue Fei invited himself to follow the Song envoy to Luoyang, Xijing, to sweep the tomb of the first emperor, in order to take the opportunity to spy on the reality of the Jin Kingdom, but he was not allowed. Later, Fei went to the second place and asked to be relieved of his military position, and between the lines there was no irony about the matter of peace discussion. Zhao Gou and Qin Hui ignored it first, and then gave instructions not to allow the invitation.

The Jin Kingdom is not monolithic, and there are also main battle factions and peace factions. Wanyan Zongbi is the main battle faction, and he wants to eliminate the Southern Song Dynasty in every possible way.

Wanyan Zongbi launched a coup d'état, seized real power, abolished the peace agreement with the Song Dynasty, pro-unified the army, and used Nie Erjin in Shandong and Li in Henan as the left and right wings, and marched to Lianghuai through Bianjing; The right deputy marshal Wan Yan Salia drank the commander of the Western Route Army and attacked Shaanxi from Tongzhou (Dali County, Shaanxi). In late May, the Jin army approached the city of Shunchang (now Fuyang, Anhui), and Shunchang was in an emergency.

Song Gaozong Zhao Gooyuan did not agree with Yue Fei to send troops, and was afraid that Shunchang would lose, so he ordered him to send troops to rescue.

Yue's army had been training in Ezhou for three years, and after receiving the edict, he immediately sent Zhang Xian and Yao Zheng to lead the army eastward to rescue Shunchang. Before arriving in Shunchang, Liu Qi had already defeated the Jin army in the Battle of Shunchang.

In late June, when the Jin army on the western front was blocked, the siege of Shunchang on the eastern front was lifted, and the situation stabilized slightly, Gaozong ordered Sinong Shaoqing Li Ruoxu to convey the edict to Yue Fei, telling Fei to "not move lightly, and it is advisable to take the class." At this time, Yue Fei had already led his army to De'an (Anlu, Hubei). Yue Fei stated to Li Ruoxu his strategy to restore the Central Plains, and if he was the main anti-Jin, he took the initiative to support Yue Fei's Northern Expedition regardless of the crime of overbearing.

Yue Fei then waved his army north, and in June and leap June, Zhang Xian's front army captured Caizhou, Niu Gao's left army was in Jingxi Lulian Lushan and other county seats, and the commander Sun Xian also defeated the Jin soldiers between Caizhou and Huaining Fu. Zhang Xian and Fu Xuan defeated the Jin general Han Chang again and successfully recovered Yingchang (now Xuchang, Henan). Niu Gao and Xu Qing then joined forces with Zhang Xian, and then recovered Chenzhou. The Chinese army commander Wang Guisuo's troops also captured Zhengzhou and Xijing Henan Fu (Luoyang) in succession at the end of leap June and the beginning of July.

At the same time, Han Shizhong's troops regained Haizhou (east of Donghai County, Jiangsu), and Zhang Jun's troops regained Wang De's recovery of Bozhou.

Yue Fei contacted the civil anti-Jin armed forces in the north and implemented the strategy of "connecting Heshuo" for ten years, and the leaders of the rebel army such as Li Bao, Sun Yan, Liang Xing, and Dong Rong sent to Hebei were responsible for organizing local loyal militias in the Taihang Mountains and Hebei, Hedong and other roads, and cooperated with the Yuejia army in the rear.

At this point, Yue Fei's headquarters and the loyal militia of various places contacted by him had formed a six-sided encirclement of Tokyo in the south, southwest, west, northwest, north, and northeast......

Seeing that there was no hope of destroying the Southern Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongbi was ready to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty again. The Song court took the opportunity to begin to suppress the generals with heavy troops, especially Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, who resolutely advocated resistance to Jin.

Wanyan Zongbi said in a letter to Qin Hui, "Yue Fei must be killed, and then he can be successful......

In Song wanted to negotiate peace, Jin also wanted to negotiate peace, but Yue Fei still advocated "fighting", in this case, it was inevitable to be arrested and imprisoned.

After Yue Fei returned to the court, he was impeached by Qin Hui's henchmen Wan Qiwei and Luo Ruji, who slandered Fei Fei for "staying in Huaixi and not entering", advocating "abandoning Chuzhou", and demanded that Yue Fei be removed from his post as privy deputy envoy. On August 9, Yue Fei was dismissed as the deputy privy envoy and filled the idle post of "longevity envoy", and Fei invited himself to return to his former residence in Lushan, Jiangzhou.

Yue Fei had no soldiers and no power at this time, but the persecution of him was still pressing step by step. At the behest of Qin Hui, Zhang Jun took advantage of the internal contradictions of the Yue family army to coerce and induce Wang Gui, the commander of the capital, and Wang Jun, the deputy commander, to first come forward to sue Zhang Xian for "rebellion", and then implicate Yue Fei. Zhang Jun set up a private court and tortured Zhang Xian to extract a confession, but to no avail.

Yue Fei faced the interrogation solemnly, and exposed the four characters on his back, "Serve the country with loyalty", and the presiding judge He Zhu was also moved when he saw this. He Zhu found out the grievances of Yue's case and truthfully told Qin Hui. Qin Hui said: "This (Gaozong) is also meaningful! "Changed his order to his cronies Wan Qiaoxuan to preside over the case.

Wan Qiyun exhausted all means, and Yue Fei's father and son would rather die than give in.

One night, Wan Qian came to Qin Hui's Prime Minister's Mansion, with a bitter face, and said: "Xiangguo, Yue Fei's father and son would rather die than admit to rebellion, I have used all the tricks, there is no way at all!" ”

Qin Hui slapped the case and scolded: "Waste snacks, if you want to add crimes, why bother?!" If there is no real rebellion, make one letter for him, and if one is not enough, make two. In any case, we can't let Yue Fei come out alive, if he comes out alive, we have to die! ”

Under Qin Hui's instructions and coercion, Wan Qiaoyu and others forged a number of letters of rebellion for Yue Fei's father and son......
