Chapter 305: What is a piece of sincerity

"Immortal Master ......" Yue Fei was about to bow down, but he helped Sun Hui to hold him.

"There is no one else here, so Pengju doesn't need to be polite." Sun Hui helped Yue Fei up and smiled slightly, "Pengju hasn't answered my question yet." ”

"You saw what I saw just now, right?" Yue Fei still didn't answer him, but sighed.

"Yes, I saw it all." Of course, Sun Hui also saw the same scene, because he also inhaled those strange flower fragrances, and came to "watch the water" like Yue Fei.

In fact, according to his observations, this Buddha hall should be the place used by the monks to "contemplate the mind", but he was surprised that the monks of the East would use the "water observation technique" commonly used by Western astrologers.

What surprised him even more was that he did not see his past or future, but Yue Fei's.

To be exact, it is the end of Yue Fei in the original history - one of the most chilling crimes in Chinese history. As a matter of fact, from a worldwide perspective, as long as such a crime has occurred once in the history of any nation, it is worthy of that nation to reflect forever on the political legacy it has.

In the daily life of the Chinese, it is particularly easy to see a scene: older people often use the life wisdom and political wisdom they have learned from reading the vicissitudes of life, and warn the younger generation who are just starting to grow with fear. There are many ancient aphorisms that represent these wisdoms in China, such as the elegant ones: the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; Walk above the multitude, and the multitude will destroy it, and so on. For example, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, such as the rafters that come out are rotten first, and so on. If there is no fear of arbitrariness, there is probably no Chinese who have not received such advice when they were growing up.

To be sure, this cultural phenomenon is unique to the Chinese. Many people from other ethnic and cultural backgrounds are completely unable to understand this wisdom of the Chinese, especially the Han Chinese. In their view, this so-called wisdom of life is precisely anti-life; It is unlikely that a life guided by this wisdom will be clear, healthy, and vigorous; The fruit must be depressed and depressed, cold and silky, with a strong sense of conspiracy. In fact, even in modern times, many of the gloomy frustrations and annoyances of the Chinese are deeply related to this. Strangely, this fine nation is rarely explored, and how could this have happened?

Related to this, the phrase on the lips of the Chinese with great frequency is "good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil", but in the long years of 4,000 years, it has never been possible to establish a mechanism to achieve it. As a result, the best of the nation often faced an extremely tragic fate.

The fate of Yue Fei and Qin Hui is a typical manifestation of how this cultural and social mechanism realizes "good is rewarded with evil" and "evil is rewarded with good".

In the "Four Generals of Zhongxing" in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was born in a peasant family, the youngest and the least qualified. He was seventeen years younger than Zhang Jun and fourteen years younger than Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong. In 1129, the third year of Jianyan, when the rebellion of the pro-army was pacified, Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun had already paid official homage to the festival, and Yue Fei was the commander of the Tokyo Left-behind Division of Zhengqipin. Moreover, Zhang Jun was also Yue Fei's old leader, and he reused, promoted, and rewarded Yue Fei many times. Liu Guangshi is the queen of the gate, and his family background, qualifications and experience are incomparable to Yue Fei.

By the sixth year of Shaoxing, that is, in 1137 AD, in about eight years, Yue Fei had already paid homage to Taiwei and served as the ambassador of Xuanfu and Yingtian. Taiwei was the highest title of a military general in the Song Dynasty, and Xuanfu was a ruling rank and a substantive errand second only to the prime minister, and under normal circumstances, the current consul was to act as the official officer. So far, Yue Fei has become a high-ranking official alongside Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi.

Moreover, because in a series of military operations, Yue Feiyi was bold and daring to fight, and he was strict in governing the army, taking the lead and full of military insight, so he set a glorious example of defeating the strong with less and more with the weak several times. As a result, his popularity has come from behind, and has far surpassed that of several others.

All this probably made the hearts of the above-mentioned people quite uncomfortable.

For this reason, Yue Fei once wrote dozens of letters to them, courteously greeting them, and contacting their feelings, but they did not get a response. After pacifying Yang Mi, Yue Fei specially equipped the captured large warship with a full set of personnel and equipment, and presented it to Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun. After all, Han Shizhong is a frank and upright person, he is quite happy, and he and Yue Fei have released their previous suspicions; And Zhang Jun thought that Yue Fei was showing off to himself, but he became even more disgusted.

If it is described in the language of modern people, it is very likely that people will say that Yue Fei is a lover of personality. If you describe it in folk parlance, you will probably say that he is quite "a tendon".

But this did not prevent Yue Fei from being one of the most outstanding military commanders in Chinese history. His story has become an enduring theme in many folk legends of later generations of Chinese. The only samurai who can be compared to him is probably only Guan Yu from the Three Kingdoms era. If it is said that the two are comparable in martial arts and loyalty, Yue Fei is a step above in terms of cultural literacy and combat performance.

In 1137 AD, that is, on March 11 of the seventh year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, two days after the emperor was cordially summoned in the dormitory, Yue Fei gave the emperor a note. Yue Fei's emotions were quite stirring when he wrote this note, so much so that when he read it eight hundred years later, it would still make people sigh and sigh at the cruelty of creation.

Yue Fei wrote in the recital:

"Since the change of the country, the ministers have started in the white house, and they really have the heart of dedicating their lives to serve the country and recovering their shame. His Majesty recorded the minister's slight labor, promoted from the cloth, had not been ten years, the official to the captain, the rank was higher than the three dukes, the number of graces looked at the two mansions, and the weight of the envoy name, Xuanfu Zhulu. The minister is humble, honorable, and has more than one career; Now and Mengyichen military horses, so that Ji Hui Tu, in case you can enter, then the troops go straight to Beijing, Luo, according to Heyang, Shaanfu, Tongguan, in order to call on the five rebel generals, then Liu Yu will give up Biandu, and go to Hebei, Gyeonggi, Shaanxi right can be restored. As for the Jingdong counties, His Majesty can also pay Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun. ”

Later, Yue Fei achieved a series of great victories, repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the main force of the Jin soldiers, and fought invinciblely to Zhuxian Town, which was only forty-five miles away from Kaifeng, proving that Yue Fei was indeed not talking big here.

Yue Fei finally said: "At the same time, we will welcome back the Emperor Taishang and Empress Ningde Zigong, and invite the heavenly family to return to the country, so that the temple will be safe again, and all the surnames will rejoice. Then begged to return to the field, the minister dreamed of what he had promised in the past. ”
