It must be admitted that Chen Dou himself has a deep grudge against Qin Hui, an old horseman. And this resentment gradually increased with the understanding of the early history of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Or it can be said that most of the Han people in later generations had varying degrees of resentment towards Qin Hui, so much so that his kneeling statue in front of the tomb of King Yue in Hangzhou has been placed for hundreds of years, and it is still untouched until now.

There are two basic facts that cannot be questioned.

The first basic fact is that the Jurchen population is small. In the first year of Jingkang, when the Jurchens attacked the Northern Song Dynasty for the first time, the Jin soldiers were still dominated by Jurchen people; By the time of Jianyan, the army of the Jin State had already joined a large number of Khitans and Han people from the original Liao region, and these people were the so-called signing army.

In the early years of Shaoxing, non-Jurchen soldiers, including Bohai soldiers, signing soldiers, party soldiers, etc., had already accounted for a very large proportion of the Jin soldiers. And the obvious decline in the combat effectiveness of the Jin soldiers is also related to it.

The second basic fact is that the records of the Jin and Song wars were in full advantage in the early days of Jianyan, and they were given what they wanted; In the late Jianyan period and the first two years of Shaoxing, although the Jin soldiers still took the offensive, the Jin and Song armies were already victorious and defeated each other, and the war was in a state of stalemate; Four years after Shaoxing, on the frontal battlefield, the Song army had begun to launch a counteroffensive against the Jin soldiers and the puppet Qi, and the record was also more victorious and less defeated.

In fact, five years after Shaoxing, the Jin soldiers were no longer able to attack the Southern Song Dynasty court, and the only few times they sent troops were also thunderous and rainy.

It can be seen from the subsequent historical process that from the fifth year of Shaoxing, the Song Dynasty took the initiative to attack the Jin State. The Jin State took the initiative to attack the Song Dynasty.

Of course. This is also the reason for the rapid rise of the Mongolian desert gold clan.

And this case. It lasted until the fall of the Kingdom of Jin.

It can be said responsibly that even if the Song Dynasty did not sign a contract with the Jin State, the Jurchens would not be able to do anything about the Song Dynasty

Qin Hui finally returned from the gold kingdom to the south.

A month after the successful conclusion of the Heilongjiang Liuzhu State Conference in the Jin Kingdom, that is, in October of the fourth year of Jianyan, Qin Hui took his wife Wang, the little slave Yantong, the little maid Xing'er, and his confidant Gao Yigong and a group of entourages, loaded with rich treasures, from Chuzhou, which had just been captured by the Jin soldiers, to the water village of the Song army of the Lianshui Army Ding Jia, and happened to be captured by Ding Jia's patrols.

In order to get by. Qin Hui made up a set of lies, saying how he killed "the golden man who imprisoned himself and came by boat", pretending to be a heroic man.

However, Ding Hui's generals were quite skeptical of Qin Hui's return, thinking that the Song and Jin armies were fighting, how could Qin Hui return from the Jin Kingdom safely and soundly with his whole family and so many treasures?

Therefore, Qin Hui must have been secretly sent back by the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom to be a spy.

For the spies of the Jin Kingdom, "it is advisable to punish them quickly to prevent future troubles".

However, the senators Wang Andao and Jiyi Feng Youyi in the water village did not agree to do so, and they tried their best to protect Qin Hui. thinks that Qin Hui is the middle of Song Qinzong, if he kills him. In the future, the Southern Song Dynasty court will investigate it, which will be unfavorable to Ding Zhuojun.

In this way, Qin Hui was spared the ghost of the knife and was sent back to the Southern Song Dynasty court.

After Qin Hui returned to the Southern Song court, he continued to fabricate lies about how he fled from the Jin Kingdom to the Southern Song Dynasty.

But many officials of the Southern Song Dynasty court at that time were skeptical of Qin Hui's lies. The ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty raised a variety of questions, including:

First, at the beginning, He Shu, Sun Fu, Sima Pu and Qin Hui were escorted to the north by the Jin people and detained, He Shu, Sun Fu, and Sima Pu were not able to come back, so why could Qin Hui come back alone?

Second, the distance from Yanshan Mansion to Chuzhou is nearly 3,000 miles, in such a long area, how can there be no Jin people to prevent bans? How could Qin Hui cross the river and the sea without being noticed by the Jin people?

Third, Qin Hui claimed that he fled back with the army to Chuzhou and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Jin people, so at most he could only escape alone, but he was able to escape back with his wife Wang and many followers.

Fourth, Qin Hui said that when he was in the Lianshui Army, Song was going to kill him in order to covet his "bag" wealth, since he had "bag" wealth, since he had so much gold and silver treasures, how could he escape back?

For this series of questions, Qin Hui did not give a reasonable explanation from beginning to end.

After the courtiers of the Southern Song Dynasty discussed a lot, everyone unanimously inferred: Could it be that Qin Hui "tried to advocate peace" in the Jin Kingdom, and the tart was lazy and indulgent?

These questions and inferences all show that no matter how skillfully Qin Hui disguises it, he can't hide it from people's bright eyes after all.

And these questions were only Qin Hui's close friends Fan Zongyin and Li Hui, who were the prime ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty at the time, defended Qin Hui, and Fan Zongyin spared no effort to recommend Qin Hui to be loyal to the Zhao and Song dynasties. But the mystery has not been dispelled

Qin Hui is the Infernal Affairs of the Jin Kingdom, this should be certain.

In fact, after Qin Hui returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, the ambiguous and unusual relationship between him and the Jurchens can still be seen

There are the following records in the "Records of the Years since the Establishment of Yan" volumes 80, 81, 82, and 220:

In October of the fourth year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong ordered the Song army to resist the Jin State and the puppet Qi coalition army, and at the same time sent Wei Liangchen, Wang Hui and other ministers to the Jin army commander Wan Yanchang to sue for peace.

Before leaving, Song Gaozong instructed them: "Humble and generous, I will not be afraid, such as New Year's coins, New Year's tribute, etc., there is no need to compare", Song Gaozong also asked them to explain to the Jin people that the Southern Song Dynasty sent Yue Fei to recover the Xiangyang Prefectures, and there was no other intention, just because of the pseudo-Qi "Li Cheng violated endlessly".

On the way to the Jin army camp, Wei Liangchen, Wang Hui and others met Han Shizhong's department in Dayi Town.

Han Shizhong ordered his subordinates to pretend to pack up their luggage and retreat south, and at the same time took out the edict of Song Gaozong ordering him to withdraw to the south of the Yangtze River for Wei Liangchen and others to see. After Wei Liangchen and the others left, Han Shizhong immediately ordered his subordinates to set up five formations in Dayi Town and set up more than 20 ambushes.

The Southern Song Dynasty envoys Wei Liangchen, Wang Hui and others passed through Dayi Town, and first saw the Jin general Nie Erjin who was the vanguard of the Jin army. Nie Erjin asked them: Where is the emperor? Where is Han Shizhong? How many soldiers and horses were there in the Song Dynasty? also asked with ulterior motives "where is Qin Zhongcheng"?

Wang Hui replied: The emperor is now in Lin'an, and Han Shizhong is retreating south from Dayi Town. Qin Hui is now "taking the job to worship the ancestral hall". Nie Erjin immediately asked: I heard that Qin Hui became the prime minister. He was dismissed again. Qin Hui is a good person. Why do you want to remove him?

Wang Hui told him again: Qin Hui was indeed the prime minister, but after a year, he himself "insisted on going", not for other reasons.

Although the news of Qin Hui's dismissal made the Jin people unhappy, the news that Han Shizhong was retreating south from Dayi Town made the Jin general Nie Erjin overjoyed.

Nie Erjin immediately led the vanguard of the Jin army to Dayi Town, and another Jin general, Tart Xiao, also led the army. The tart lazy sent a group to practice the night unveiling, and the young eunuch Li Yuxing came to connect.

At the meeting, Wei Liangjiao and others did not dare to call themselves the Southern Song Dynasty in accordance with Gaozong's will to grovel and beg for peace. And just talking about Jiangnan, the implication is nothing more than to show that the Southern Song Dynasty is willing to take the Jin State as the upper country, and Bai Ji only asks to survive as a subject country. Therefore, they first claimed that the purpose of this visit was that "Jiangnan wants to defend the existing land" and was willing to pay tribute to the Jin Dynasty every year "250,000 taels of silver and silk".

However, like the previous Nie Beile, Xiao Jielu also specifically asked "Is Qin Zhong Cheng'an"? And deliberately thought that Qin Hui "This person was originally in the Northern Army, and he was a good person", Wei Liangchen and others answered him as before.

The Southern Song Dynasty sent them an envoy to express Emperor Gaozong's willingness to bend his knees to the Jin State. But the Jurchens were not willing to make peace with them immediately at this time.

So after more than a month, Wan Yanchang sent Wei Liangchen and Wang Hui back to the Southern Song Dynasty. Before leaving, he repeatedly reprimanded him, accusing the Southern Song Dynasty of lacking the sincerity to make peace, saying: "On the one hand, peace, on the other hand, people are unprepared", and "in the end, it was mistaken by the generals."

After the last, Wan Yanchang also specially explained to them: "Qin Hui knows the affairs of this dynasty, if you don't believe it, you should ask about it."

Wei Liangchen and Wang Hui went to the Jin Kingdom this time, and they met three Jin generals successively, and all three of them asked Qin Hui in unison, and praised Qin Hui with ulterior motives.

Nie Beile questioned whether the reason why the Southern Song Dynasty court dismissed Qin Huixiang was because he was suspicious of him because he returned from the Jin army; Xiao Jielu deliberately praised Qin Hui as a good person, and Wan Yanchang even threatened the Southern Song Dynasty to trust Qin Hui, who was familiar with the situation of the Jin Dynasty.

All this, of course, is not accidental. They "asked the juniper, and called it virtuous, but they knew that the cypress's policy was out of the will."

This shows that the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom are extremely concerned about Qin Hui's whereabouts and have repeatedly inquired, and at the same time, it also shows their dissatisfaction with Song Gaozong's removal of Qin Hui as prime minister.

Because Qin Hui was deposed, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Jin people's strategy of "attacking with peace and devotion, and luring the party with rebellion".

Therefore, as soon as they saw the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty, they came again and again to vent their dissatisfaction, and specially praised Qin Hui. Obviously, this was to put pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty court to reappoint Qin Hui as prime minister, otherwise, the Song-Jin peace talks would not have succeeded.

According to the Song-Jin peace agreement reached in the eleventh year of Shaoxing, the Southern Song Dynasty received the three major generals' military powers, and the Jin State clearly demanded that the Southern Song Dynasty not remove Qin Hui from the throne.

With the support of the master of the Jin State, Qin Hui became the prime minister for life who Emperor Gaozong could not recall, and Qin Hui was in power for 18 years, and his power was like the sky.

Qin Hui "coerced the strong to ask for the king", that is, he relied on the strength of foreigners to blackmail the emperor.

In today's parlance, it can be roughly compared to "coercing foreigners to gain self-respect"

In the history of the Song Dynasty, there is also a record of such an incident related to Qin Hui, which is thought-provoking:

In the thirteenth year of Shaoxing, Jin Xizong was happy to have a noble son, granted amnesty to the world, and allowed the envoys of the Song Dynasty to return, Hong Hao, Zhang Shao, Zhu Ben, etc. were all pardoned.

Soon, Hong Hao, the Song envoy who had been detained by the Jin State for more than ten years, was returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, and after seeing Qin Hui, Hong Hao said lukewarmly to Qin Hui: "Room twist let me say hello to you on his behalf!" ”

Qin Hui's face changed immediately after hearing this, and he immediately realized that Hong Hao understood his details, so Qin Hui hated and feared Hong Hao, and Qin Hui quickly instructed his henchmen to impeach Hong Hao from the court.

What kind of character is this room twist in Hong Hao's mouth that makes Qin Hui so taboo?

It turned out that this room twist used to be a close confidant of the most powerful commander of the Jin country, Sticky Han, when Qin Hui was in the Jin country, and the room twist and Qin Hui were familiar with each other.

"History of the Song Dynasty" volume 473 "Qin Hui Biography" records: "Hong Hao returned to the Jin State, and the name was the only one, so that the Jin chieftain twisted the language, and the Zhihan Yuan was not driven away in January." Room twister, pavilion, sticky Han left and right. At the beginning, sticky Han marched to Huaishang, and the cypress tasted the grass for it, which was seen by the room twist, so it was because of Hao's return to send the sound. Doctor Huiyi did not know anyone, heard Hao's words, and deeply regretted it, so he ordered Li Wenhui to discuss it. ”。 (To be continued......)
