Children and grandchildren are displaced from Lingnan

Two generations have redressed grievances one after another

In the winter of the fourth year of Jiading (1204), because the coming year is the year of Dabi, many people from all over the world gathered in Lin'an. Among the people who rushed to take the exam, there were two of them of the same age, and they were quite good. One is Mao Zizhi in Mingzhou, eastern Zhejiang, and the other is Yue Ke in Jiangzhou, Jiangxi.

Let's talk about Yue Ke first. He is Yue Fei's grandson. The officials were elected as the undertaker of the household department and the military warehouse of the Zhenjiang Mansion.

When Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general, was 39 years old, he was killed by Qin Hui on trumped-up charges in the Fengbo Pavilion of Dali Temple in Kyoto. Yue Fei had prosperous heirs and had five sons and two daughters in his lifetime. Yue Yun, Yue Lei and Yue Anniang were born to the Yuan Pei Liu family, and the rest were bred by Li Shuzhen, the step-room. The third son is called Yue Lin, and Yue Ke is Yue Lin's third son.

In August of the fourth year of Qingyuan, the sixteen-year-old Yue Ke participated in the Cao Examination in Hongzhou, Jiangxi, and wrote "Calling for Heaven to Distinguish False Records" and "Tianding Records" and wrote to the imperial court in five words and rhymes, requesting that his grandfather Yue Fei, his uncle Yue Yun and General Zhang Xian be completely rehabilitated. After the book, it is like a mud ox entering the sea.

After Yue Ke arrived in Beijing, he began to get in touch with Yue Fei's colleagues, friends, and his descendants, and collected more extensive information about Yue Fei's legacy.

learned that the imperial court built a temple for Han Shizhong in Zhenjiang, and once again wrote to the emperor. For their grandfather's grievances, Yue Lin and Yue Ke, father and son, made full preparations and provided a large amount of evidence. There are more than 80 copies of Yue Fei's performances, battle reports, poems and old stories, and the beginning and end of the accusation, as well as more than 80 copies of the imperial notes and edicts given to Yue Fei by Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, some provincial notes issued to Yue Fei by the Southern Song court, and the old news, writings and some records of Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty.

On this day, I just returned to the Taishi Mansion and sat down, and the porter came to report: Hongzhou Juzi Yue Ke to meet him. Han Yanxuan knew that this was Yue Fei's grandson, so he let him in.

After Yue Ke came in, he saluted to the Taishi, Han Yanxuan stepped forward to help him up, sat down, and looked Yue Ke up and down, how amazing the creator is, this Yue Ke is very similar to his father, the same handsome and chic, no, more elegant and delicate than Yue Lin, you can't help but dislike it.

He said kindly: "Su Zhi, it is a pity that my father died in Guangzhou and was not able to pay tribute in person. In the course of many years, I have grown into an adult, which is gratifying. ”

Yue Ke replied apologetically: "Thanks to the Taishi's concern, my father is in Japan, and he praises the Taishi, and after saying that the Taishi is a loyal minister, he dares to act." See you today, the younger generation is fortunate to have three lives. ”

"Suzhi, how are you preparing for the Jinshi exam in Ming Chun? It must be on the high list and famous all over the world. ”

"I thank the Taishi for his encouragement, and I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Taishi." Then he took out a thick stack of manuscripts and explained: This is the "Jin Tuo Cui Edition", which was collected and compiled by his father and younger generations, and the world knows that his grandfather was wronged, but he does not know why he was wronged.

It has been more than 60 years since Yue Fei's unjust case, and his road to rehabilitation is extremely slow.

In the twelfth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei was killed in Fengbo Pavilion, Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were beheaded for public display, both family properties were confiscated, and the family members and children were relegated to Guangnan and Fujian respectively.

Yue Fei's wife Li Shuzhen is 41 years old, the eldest son Yue Yun's wife Gong is 22 years old, the second son Yue Lei and his wife Zhao are both 16 years old, the third son Yue Lin is 12 years old, the second daughter Yue Yinhua is 11 years old, and the third generation is even younger, Yue Yun's eldest son Yue Fu is four years old, the eldest daughter Yue Da is three years old, and the second son Yue Shen and Yue Lei's daughter Yue Erniang have just turned one year old. A family of nine people, all of whom are in Lingnan. The fourth son Yue Zhen was seven years old, and the fifth son Yue Ting was four years old in his hometown of Shahe, Jiujiang. The eldest daughter, Yue Anniang, is married to the Gao family.

After a lot of hard work, he had no freedom of movement, and he had to accept the supervision of the county officials. Yue Yinhua slightly through the history books, biting his fingers, blood books for his father's injustice, the county government not only ignored, but also spoke badly to each other, she was extremely disappointed at a young age, cried bitterly, and then held a large porcelain bottle and threw herself to death.

More than ten years later, Zhang Xiaoxiang, a scholar from Jianzhou, won the top prize in the examination, and for the first time he made it clear to Gaozong: Yue Fei is loyal and brave, the world hears it, once he is slandered, and dies in a day, the enemy is fortunate in the country, and the disintegration of the soldiers is not the blessing of the country. The first one stood up and demanded that Yue Fei be rehabilitated. Today, the court is wronged, the world is wronged, and His Majesty does not know. When he is in a hurry to restore his lordship, show his family, show his loyalty, broadcast it at home and abroad, so that the loyal soul is blind to Jiuquan, and justice is made clear to the world.

At this time, Qin Hui was still in power, and the matter of rehabilitating Zhaoxue could not be talked about. When Yue Yun's wife Gong heard the news, she died with hatred.

King Wanyan Liang of Jin Hailing led hundreds of thousands of troops to invade the south, trying to destroy the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. Writing hard: Yue Feiliang generals, with the determination to use troops, the law is extreme, and the family members are all migrated to the mountains, so far people say that they are wronged, often for it, and the court should show the snow for it, so as to inspire the righteousness of the loyal ministers and righteous people in the world. A number of ministers and students seconded the motion.

Emperor Gaozong had no choice but to issue an edict to relieve Yue Zhang's family and allow him to return to his hometown. At the same time, the detention of Cai Jing and Tong Guan's families was also lifted.

In June of the following year, Xiaozong ascended the throne, advocated resisting the Northern Expedition of Jin, and accepted the proposal of Prime Minister Zhang Junzhao Xue Yue Fei. An edict was issued to reward Yue Fei's remains for the search for Yue Fei's remains, to search for Yue Fei's descendants, and to confer official titles.

Yue Fei died unjustly, the body was hastily buried in a corner of the side courtyard of Dali Temple, the jailer Kui Shun admired Yue Fei, risked the extermination, dug out Yue Fei's body, carried it out of the city gate, buried it outside the Qiantang Gate Jiuqu from the foot of the North Mountain next to the ancestral hall, and tied the jade ring worn by Yue Fei to the waist, planted two orange trees for the Zhi, and erected a plaque to say the tomb of Jia Yiren. Before Kui Shun died, he informed his son of this incident. firmly believes that Yue Shuai is loyal to the country, and he will be wronged.

After Kui Shun's son saw the imperial edict, he reported the matter to Lin'an Mansion.

Xiaozong ordered that Yue Fei's remains be relocated to the West Lake under the Qixia Ridge, Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were buried here, and Yue Fei's deeds were written into the biography of the Song Dynasty, and the Zhiguo Temple next to Yue's tomb was given to Baozhong Yan Temple, and the martyr's temple was built for Yue Fei in the east of Wuchang City.

Then, the imperial court issued an edict again, announcing the restoration of the titles of Prince Yue Fei Shaobao, Wusheng Dingguo Army Jie Du Envoy and Wuchang County Founding Prince, sealing back 6,100 households and 2,600 households of Shishi, recovering Yue Yunzuowu and Zhongzhou Defense Envoy, restoring the title of Mrs. Li Wa Chuguo, Gong Shi was crowned as Mrs. Zhonglie, Yue Lei was Zhongxun Lang, Gemen Marquis, and Yue Lin was the right inheritor. The children and grandchildren of other adults are gifted.

After 20 years, the Yue and Zhang families raised their heads. But this is only Zhaoxue, not rehabilitation. In the words for Yue Fei's reinstatement, it was said that Yue Fei was falsely accused and killed by slander, but it did not indicate that it was an unjust case.

In the following year, Yue Fei's eldest grandson Yuefu played a concert and requested the return of Yue's family's field house in Jiangzhou that had been confiscated at the time of Yue's case (counting 3,822 and 863 wen, Tian Qi is 88 mu and one corner, 11 acres and 96 acres of land, 5 water mills, and 498 houses), etc., and Song Xiaozong also happily allowed the performance.
