Chapter 290: Past Life
This is Yue Fei, the general of the anti-Jin people.
The name of the Qin thief is about to come out, and that is Qin Hui.
Qin Hui (1090-1155), the character Huizhi, was the prime minister and traitor minister in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the representative of the lord and faction.
Qin Hui belonged to the lord and faction in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, and pursued the policy of ceding land, calling ministers and paying tribute.
During the second visit to the prime minister, he vigorously belittled the anti-Jin soldiers and prevented the recovery; At the same time, he formed a private party, expelled dissidents, and repeatedly went to prison, and was one of the famous traitors in Chinese history.
In the eighteen years of the autocratic power of the prime minister, Qin Hui sold the official beard, opened the door to accept bribes, and asked for treasures from the government at all levels.
In order to flatter the enemy country and their own selfish desires, Qin Hui and his henchmen wantonly collected the people's fat and ointment, and also increased a variety of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, resulting in the people's lives were severely impoverished and starving, and the imperial court's finances fell into a comprehensive embarrassment.
The terms of the Shaoxing Peace Conference include: "It is not allowed to go to the prime minister with innocence"! That is to say, the Jin State did not allow Zhao Gou to remove Qin Hui from his position, and Qin Hui also served as the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty for 18 years, so first of all, Qin Hui was a traitor of the Song Dynasty officially certified by the Jin State.
Qin Hui was originally a prisoner of Jingkang's shame, and he was basically scrapped in this life. He was unwilling to be lonely, and bent his knees to find a new master in the Jin Dynasty and was reborn. Qin Hui was just a minion in the Jin Dynasty, but he successfully fought back into the Song Dynasty and became a blatant spy.
For this kind of person, the Southern Song Dynasty should have pushed him out and beheaded without hesitation, but Zhao Gou, who was selfish and timid, kept him. When the Southern Song Dynasty military generals made significant progress in the cause of resisting Jin, Zhao Gou's selfishness began to play a role.
In order to control the generals, he would rather give up the good situation and the deep hatred of taking his wife and humiliating his mother, and started the Jinsong peace talks, and in the overwhelming opposition and insults, Zhao thought of using Qin Hui as a scapegoat.
Zhao Gou just wanted to use Qin Hui at first, but he never expected that after the matter was completed, he would have no way to take Qin Hui. Qin Hui had the talisman of the Jin and Song sides, and even Zhao Gou did not dare to touch him, otherwise he would destroy the peace of the Jin and Song dynasties.
Qin Hui served as prime minister for 18 years, monopolized the government, promoted literary prisons, excluded dissidents, tried his best to exclude officials of the main battle faction, suppressed anti-Jin public opinion, and tampered with official history. He also redefined the amount of taxes such as the two taxes, and ordered all localities to secretly increase the people's taxes, and many people were ruined and their wives were separated because of the tyrannical expropriation.
Qin Hui was even more disloyal to his boss Zhao Gou, relying on the support of the Jin people to control the government, and also served as the highest military governor of the Song Dynasty, that is, the privy envoy, and firmly controlled the two major powers of military and government in his own hands.
For the sake of power, all those who stood in his way were killed, not only the main battle faction, but also the main and peace factions, even the surrender faction like He Zhu, as long as they did not have the same heart as him, they were also cleaned up, and at the same time, not only the military generals were cleaned up, but a large number of civil officials and doctors were suppressed by him.
In the end, Qin Hui achieved solitude during his lifetime, and in his later years, he also completed the iconic feature of the ownership of the minister - adding nine tin.
If Qin Hui hadn't died early, maybe he would have been able to do something to usurp the throne.
A civil official can be mixed up and usurp the throne, where does the Zhao Song Dynasty, who is used to suppressing military generals, put his face?
So we saw that Qin Hui had cultivated a lot of his cronies and henchmen in the past ten years, and even Zhao Gou was slowly hollowed out.
In fact, before Qin Hui died, Zhao Gou hated and feared Qin Hui, so as soon as Qin Hui died, Zhao Gou was very happy, and couldn't help but happily say [I will avoid wearing a dagger in my knee pants today], and I no longer have to hide the dagger for self-defense.
Therefore, judging from the fact that Zhao Gou is so afraid of Qin Hui and Qin Hui has the backstage support of Jin Guo, Yue Fei's death is not only that Qin Hui was experienced on behalf of Zhao Hui, but it is likely that on the contrary, Zhao Gou may have been put on a role by Qin Hui, and he is the real person who bears the blame.
Wu Mu's death is that Qin Hui is the mastermind, he made his own opinion, cut first and then played, Zhao Gou was timid and had no choice but to acquiesce, of course, this statement does not exempt Zhao Gou from the responsibility of being an accomplice.
The reason why Zhao Gou is behind the black pot is because this person is not so much bad as cowardice, as we all know, he is afraid of Jin Ren caused physiological impotence, which in turn caused his personality impotence.
He didn't support Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, not because he was afraid that the two saints would come back, nor because he was afraid that the army would get out of control, but because he was simply timid and afraid of things, thinking that Yue Fei couldn't beat the Jin people.
In May of the tenth year of Shaoxing, the Jin army invaded south. At the beginning of June, Yue Fei began the Northern Expedition, and cooperated with Zhang Jun to win a series of battles. Zhao Gou felt that he would accept it when he saw it, and just drive the Jin people away. So, in mid-June, he ordered the class to return to the court, and also sent a civil official named Li Ruoxu to call Yue Fei back.
But at that time, Yue Fei was not satisfied with just driving the Jin people away, did not obey the retreat order, persuaded Li Ruoxu back, and continued the Northern Expedition!
Now Zhao Gou Mao, not because Yue Fei disobeyed, but because he was afraid that Yue Fei would be defeated and what should he do if the Jin people came back?
Therefore, he immediately withdrew Zhang Jun, causing Yue Fei to lose his flank cover.
He hoped that in this way, he could force Yue Fei back.
But Yue Fei said: Without the flanks, it is not wrong!
Zhao Gou was stunned. He felt that Yue Fei was alone in the depths, and it was definitely cool now!
So he was anxious and won twelve gold medals in a row. Why the Twelve Gold Medals?
Because under Yue Fei, there are twelve rulers. The gold medals of these retired soldiers were issued to these twelve commanders.
Because Zhao Gou knew that Yue Fei would most likely disobey his orders, he simply bypassed Yue Fei and gave orders to Yue Fei's men, so that he could drag back the Yue family's army.
And when were these twelve gold medals issued? July 10th. When did Yue Fei receive it?
July 20, that is, these gold medals went on the road for 10 days.
It was in these 10 days that Yue Fei took his Yuejia army to open a plug-in, and went crazy on the battlefield, playing the proud works of his life: Yuncheng and Yingchang victories.
Until July 14th, the Jin people were completely defeated!
At this time, Yue Fei began to give Zhao Gou good news one after another.
But the twelve gold medals have been on the road for 4 days at this time.
Therefore, during this period, Zhao Gou didn't know that Yue Fei had actually won such a big battle in front of him!
After that, we all know that Yue Fei defeated the Jin Army in Zhuxian Town, and when the army was about to enter Kaifeng, the twelve gold medals arrived.
Because these twelve gold medals were directly issued to the twelve major commanders of the Northern Expeditionary Army, these twelve major commanders, Yue Fei's real cronies were only four or five, and most of the others were sent from above, and Yue Fei actually did not have much personal friendship.
Therefore, under the condition that his subordinates all said that they would not fight, Yue Fei had no possibility of continuing to disobey the Northern Expedition.
It was in this helplessness that Yue Fei looked up to the sky and sighed: "Ten years of work will be wasted." The society is difficult to prosper. "Because it's really embarrassing!
But! Didn't Yue Fei send a good news to Zhao Gou at the beginning?
This good news has finally been received by Zhao Gou. At this time, Zhao Gou realized that he could really fight Yue Fei if he dared to love him!
He was in great spirits, and said Liu Qi, Yang Yizhong, Han Shizhong, you all give me up, cooperate with Yue Fei, and kill all the golden people for me!
Zhao Gou immediately issued an edict, saying that Yue Fei could judge the battle situation by himself and decide to advance and retreat on his own.
Later, I didn't think it was enough, and I issued an edict saying that I had sent Yang Yizhong and Han Shizhong to help you - Brother Fei, I only found out that you are so awesome today, and then I will watch your performance!
It's a pity that at this time, Yue Fei was already a teacher, and the major commanders of the Yue family army went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.
The fighter plane is gone, daylily, it's already cold! Therefore, the failure of Yue Fei's Northern Expedition was purely caused by poor information, and Zhao Gou himself was indeed too cowardly and too pessimistic about the battle situation.
Some people said, "Shouldn't you order him to drive back?" No, it's like you're almost done writing an essay that suddenly shreds it up for you, and then asks you to rewrite it!
Yue Fei is a god when he fights, but he is not a god, he was able to fight like that before, he was originally extraordinary, and when he withdrew his troops, the state of the army was "the sergeants should be all in Nanxiang, and the flag was in chaos" At this time, Yue Fei was no longer able to organize the army to fight back.
Okay, now do you understand what kind of person Zhao Gou is?
He is a coward who has no opinions, "doing big things and sacrificing his life, and forgetting his life when he sees small profits".
Such a person, if Qin Hui hadn't instigated him, would he have taken the initiative to kill Yue Fei?
Definitely not. He still wants to keep Yue Fei to help him resist the Jin people!
Therefore, when Jin Ren said that he would kill Fei and make peace, Zhao Gou would immediately think, you are so afraid of Yue Fei, then I also killed Yue Fei, am I stupid?
In Yue Fei's case, from beginning to end, it was Qin Hui who instigated Zhao to kill Yue Fei.
And Zhao Gou's attitude has always wavered, maybe he can't think about it, so he will pardon Yue Fei?
You must know that at the beginning, the person Qin Hui wanted to clean up was not Yue Fei, but Han Shizhong. But Han Shizhong ran to cry to Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou immediately relented and let Han Shizhong go.
With this criminal record, it can be said that under the premise that the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces tried to rescue Yue Fei at that time, Zhao Gou, who had no opinion, might really issue an edict to pardon Yue Fei.
Therefore, the person who really killed Yue Fei was Qin Hui, not the cowardly Zhao Gou.
Yue Fei's reputation among the people is too good, and he has won the hearts of the people, and no one dares to deal with Yue Fei openly.
Killing Yue Fei is tantamount to getting along with all the people, and it is easy to cause strong social public opinion and cause social chaos, so Zhao Gou did not dare to do anything to Yue Fei easily at that time.
The case file of Yue Fei was entered into the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department on December 29, but Yue Fei was killed on the same day. According to the trial procedures at that time, it was impossible to be executed on the same day as soon as he was imprisoned.
This time point is particularly weird, because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and according to the practice of the Song Dynasty, amnesty will generally be granted to the world after the New Year.
According to historical records, Gaozong's holy decree was issued after Yue Fei was killed, that is, Qin Hui did not play Gaozong until after Yue Fei was killed.
"History of the Song Dynasty • Criminal Law Chronicles" also said: The name is called the edict prison, but it is not the edict. ”
That is to say, when Qin Hui was in power, "the name is called the edict, but it is not the edict" is really the norm, and Yue Fei's case is also called the edict, but in fact, "there is no decree at the beginning" - this is said by Yue Fei's grandson Yue Ke, that is, Yue Fei did not make a decree at all when he was killed.
Therefore, it is entirely possible, Qin Hui was extremely worried that Zhao Gou would pardon Yue Fei through the amnesty, so he played a game of first chopping and then playing, and raw rice was cooked for him.
The reason why Qin Hui was in such a hurry to execute Yue Fei was that he was afraid that the emperor would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion across the country, so that Yue Fei would have a chance to breathe.
So, why is Qin Hui the most hated? When others become traitors, most of them are for the sake of glory and wealth, although they are hateful, they do not do much harm to the Chinese nation.
When others become traitors, most of them are in the face of national disasters, and they are completely pessimistic and disappointed about the country's strength and future destiny, for example, Wang Jingwei felt that Huaxia couldn't beat the basin, so he ran to be a traitor.
On the contrary, Qin Hui was in a good situation against Jin and the recovery of the Central Plains was in sight, he stumbled and killed Yue Fei by playing a trick and burying the fruits of victory that were about to arrive.
This kind of behavior of relatives and enemies is even more sad and regretful, and it has also achieved his infamy as the first traitor in the ages, and he is not wronged at all! Who do people scold if they don't scold him?!!
Seeing that Hiromi was Qin Hui in his previous life, he was still a little sympathetic, but now he can only smile.
