Chapter 79 a ridiculous paper

As soon as Yue Fei left his post, Qin Hui promoted his younger brother Lin Dasheng to be the commander-in-chief of the Ezhou Army. On the surface, he was asked to be responsible for raising the food and salary of the Ezhou Military Region, but in fact, he was asked to go to Ezhou to collect Yue Fei's charges. There is a scum in the Yue family army, named Wang Jun, whose ancestral home is in Dongping Mansion. He is a cunning villain, "good at reporting and criticizing", and he is nicknamed "Wang Diao'er". Yes, superiors are for betrayal.He wants to betray others, and he has never had any psychological barriers, let alone ideological concerns. As a scoundrel, gangster, and scum, he always shows the nature of molesting people, and he is fierce, pungent and cruel to the targets he is attacked.At first he worked in the army of the frontier general Fan Qiong. Fan Qiong was executed by Liu Ziyu because he did not obey the central control.During the Huxiang War, Wang Xie failed to fight effectively, and Wang Jun, Ren Shian, and Yao Zhu were assigned to the Yue Family Army.

Yue Fei hated these three men for fleeing in Wang Xie's army, he once beat them each with a hundred lashes, and they held a grudge against them. The so-called congenial smell, as soon as Lin Daosheng took office, he soon smelled Wang Diao'er's existence. The two came and went, and after some simple temptations, they quickly hooked up.Then they carefully planned and worked out a "First Complaint", falsely accusing Zhang Xian of launching a rebellion to welcome Yue Fei back. "First Complaint" mainly records the conversation between two people, Zhang Xian, the chief general of the Yue Family Army, and Wang Jun, the author of the complaint.

In the petition, Wang Jun described such a thing: On the night of August 22 this year, at 2 o'clock, Zhang Xian sent someone to invite the villain over, saying that he had something important to discuss. When we arrived at Zhang Xian's house, it was completely dark except for the pavilion on the east side of the lotus pond. When we approached, we found that Zhang Xian was chatting with a monk named He Zeyi by candlelight. As soon as the villain sat down, the monk He Zeyi left the table. Zhang Xian didn't speak at first, but after a long time, he said out of nowhere: "Did you go to bed early? I really envy you that you have the blessing of sleep!"

Knowing that there was something in his words, the villain replied, "What's the matter? Do you have something on your mind and can't sleep?" Zhang Xian showed an unhappy expression, and said, "You don't know that Mr. Yue has been dismissed from office, do you?" The villain immediately replied: "If you dismiss from office, just dismiss from office, what are you worrying about?" Zhang Xian poked the villain's head with his finger and said, "What a Yulin brain, don't even think about it. Mr. Yue was dismissed from office, so there is no guarantee that we will not be implicated?"

The villain replied disapprovingly, "What kind of connection can there be?" Zhang Xian was even more troubled, sighed, and said: "Oh! I have followed Yue Xianggong for more than ten years, and I am considered Yue Xianggong's person. Now the court wants to summon me. If I go, it will probably be a one-way trip, and I won't be able to come back. " The villain comforted him and said, "That's not necessarily the case. In the past, I followed General Fan Qiong and Fan. I was in command of the right army under General Fan, and I was in charge of a line of affairs. General Fan was convicted and sentenced to death by the court, but I am loyal. Until now Haven't been punished by the court? You see, it's too much to worry about, isn't it?"

Zhang Xian stopped talking for a long time, then suddenly said mysteriously: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Yue sent someone here and asked me to help him." The villain was so startled that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and asked, "How can I help him?" Zhang Xian lowered his voice and said, "Mobilize troops and horses to cooperate with him." The villain also lowered his voice, and asked, "What do you mean by mobilizing soldiers and horses to cooperate with him?" Zhang Xian looked around, and said: "Let's transfer all the soldiers, horses, food and grass here to Xiangyang Mansion, and put the troops on hold for now, and the imperial court will definitely let Mr. Yue come to appease and deal with it."

The villain broke out in a cold sweat, and persuaded: "You must not move the soldiers and horses! Once the soldiers and horses are mobilized, the court will definitely suspect us of rebellion, and Yue Xianggong will add to the crime." Zhang Xian poked the villain's head again with his finger and said, "Oh, why are you still not enlightened?! The court dares to punish Yue Xianggong, so I will deploy troops separately and occupy Xiangyang Mansion." The villain was very nervous and asked: "There are so many people, how do you plan to transfer?" Zhang Xian looked confident, and said: "Go and plunder the ships of other armies, let the infantry protect their families by water, and the cavalry by land."

The villain persuaded him: "Oh, forget it, now is the time when the country is in crisis, so don't mess around." Zhang Xian's face darkened, and he said, "Whatever I decide to do, I must do it, you go down and help me arrange it, and when I tell you to do it, you do it." The villain said, "If you insist on going your own way, there must be many soldiers in the army who will not obey." Zhang Xian was furious, and said: "Who dares to disobey?" The villain said: "For example, Fu Xuan, this person has an upright temperament, and he must not obey."

Zhang Xian had a murderous look on his face, and he said in a sinister manner: "Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Seeing his resolute tone, the villain knew that persuasion was useless, so he asked him instead: "If you really want to raise troops, what name do you plan to use to mobilize troops?" Zhang Xian smiled and said, "Good question, I'm about to forge a troop transfer document from the imperial court, and transfer troops without anyone noticing." The villain asked him again tentatively: "Even if no one doubted you when you transferred your troops, the court will definitely notice it when you arrive at Xiangyang Mansion. Once Mr. Zhang Jun and Mr. Zhang send troops to attack, what should you do?"

Zhang Xian said contemptuously: "Zhang Jun? What is he? I never put him in my eyes, afraid of what he will do!" The villain tugged at his sleeve and said, "You put it lightly. Apart from Mr. Zhang, the Jin men in the north knew that our army had changed, so they would come to attack. At that time, there was Mr. Zhang in the south, and the Jin men in the north. , the trouble will be big.” Zhang Xian said with a sneer: "I have already made arrangements for what you said. I wrote a letter a few days ago to establish a good relationship with the Jinren. When the time comes, maybe the Jinren will send troops to assist us."

The villain was completely stunned. After a long time, he asked again: "Including family members, there are hundreds of thousands of mouths in the army. Is there enough food for Xiangyang Prefecture?" Zhang Xian curled his mouth and said, "All the food here is taken away by boat. Ezhou also has food, and Xiangyang Mansion also has food, which is more than enough for a year." The villain asked: "Then what will happen if there is no food after a year?" Zhang Xian said: "One year? Do you think I will only stay in Xiangyang for a year? Oh, don't ask too much, go back and help me connect with other generals." The villain was about to leave, but he was a little worried, and asked the villain behind his back: "Do you think the soldiers of the Beiwei and Youyi armies will obey the command?" The villain replied instinctively: "There should be many people who refuse to listen." He said, "You mean Yao Guan of You Yijun, Wang Gang, Zhang Ying, and Li Zhang of Beiwei Army?" The villain replied vaguely, "Probably so." Zhang Xiandao: "Well, tomorrow you invite people like Yao Guan, Wang Gang, Zhang Ying, and Li Zhang to eat in your yamen, and test them out by saying that I, Zhang Xian, are worried that the lieutenant soldiers will be implicated because of Yue Xianggong's dismissal. Not eating well, not sleeping well, not knowing what to do. See how they react." The next day, all the governors went to Zhang Xian's Yamen, but Zhang Xian didn't go to work.The villain asked Yao Guan to speak on the west side of the pavilion in the teaching ground. Yao Guan asked: "What's the matter, brother?" The villain said: "Zhang Xian and Taiwei Zhang couldn't sleep last night. He heard that Yue Xianggong was dismissed, and he was very troubled. He asked me to ask for the observer's opinion on this matter." Yao Guan said: "Since Yue Xianggong has been dismissed, Zhang Xian will be in charge of the army, and he will take care of everything." The villain asked him, "What if the lieutenant generals get confused when they learn about Yue Xianggong's dismissal?" Yao Guan said: "We must find ways to calm the chaos and not destroy this army. Tell Lieutenant Zhang Xian on my behalf that the army must not be disrupted in view of the country's distress." Now that Yao Guan has said so, I didn't tell Zhang Xian's true thoughts to him, so we parted ways. When he arrived at Zhang Xian's house, Zhang Xian asked the villain, "How are you doing with what I told you?" The villain replied truthfully: "I haven't invited Wang Gang and others yet, I just told Yao Jianguan that he asked me to tell you that he was very worried that the war would not be suppressed after the war, and he would strictly restrain his You Yi army, so that there would be no chaos." move." Zhang Xian said with a sneer: "Since Yao Guan is so good at acting, I will try to deal with him. You can leave him alone and arrange other people." The villain withdrew. After that until the first day of September, Zhang Xian went to Zhenjiang Privy Council to report to Zhang Jun according to the request of the court, and the villain went to see him off. Go to Zhenjiang, and act when you come back." According to Wang Jun's description, Lin Loulou helped him copy it down in detail, wrote it into a pleading paper, and submitted it to Wang Gui, who was sitting in the government office in Ezhou, while Zhang Xian was away.Apparently, Lin Dasheng was copying Qin Hui's previous actions to bring down Han Shizhong. This time, Wang Jun played the role of Hu Fang, Zhang Xian unfortunately became the one who was about to go to prison, and Yue Fei was Han Shizhong at the time, no, it was worse than Han Shizhong, Han Shizhong managed to save his life, Yue Fei but must die. Qin Hui had heard about it a long time ago. Once a house caught fire, Wang Gui's men took advantage of the fire and took the reed raft from the house. Yue Fei beat Wang Gui with a hundred sticks for this.In addition, Wang Gui showed cowardice in the battle of Yingchang in mid-July of the 10th year of Shaoxing, which once shook the morale of the army. Yue Fei wanted to behead him, but he was spared because of the generals' intercession.In this way, Wang Gui will definitely feel resentment towards Yue Fei.Moreover, according to Wang Jun, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian have always had a bad relationship and had conflicts. Therefore, Qin Hui sent someone to win over Wang Gui and speak ill of Yue Fei. But Wang Gui replied: "As a general, Yue Xianggong can naturally reward and punish the army. I was punished with military law. I deserved my crime and I have nothing to complain about!" It will be too much to complain about!") Rejecting Qin Hui's temptation. Looking back, Wang Gui carefully read Wang Jun's masterpiece. Although the writing was vulgar, he still understood it. He knew that it was a complete false accusation, but he was helpless, so he had to transfer the pleadings to the Zhenjiang Privy Council according to the relevant procedures. On September 8th, Zhang Jun, who was in the Privy Council Office in Zhenjiang, received the pleadings. He couldn't help being overjoyed. He ordered Zhang Xian to be taken down, and assigned Yan Shimeng, a small official of the Privy Council Office, and Liu Xingren, the Lingshi, to interrogate Zhang Xian. Yan Shimeng and Liu Xingren are upright people. After reading Wang Jun's "very despicable remarks" and unsightly pleadings, they reasoned that the Privy Council "has no law of investigation" and has no right to set up a private court. For Zhang Xian's interrogation, he refused to handle it "for fear of disrupting the ancestral system". Zhang Jun was furious, disregarding the country's laws and regulations, instead, his confidant Wang Yingqiu "deduced the investigation", set up a private court, followed the "personal training", tortured him severely, and asked Zhang Xian to confess the fact of treason. Zhang Xian was beaten to the point of death, but his bones were strong and he would rather die than admit it. Zhang Jun was so angry that he blew his beard. They had no choice but to knock him unconscious, take off his fingerprints, claim that he had confessed himself, and that the reason why he "wanted to rob the army and create chaos" was because Yue Yun wrote him to do so. As for Yue Yun's letter, it has been burned, and there is no physical evidence for the time being. Zhang Jun reported to Zhao Gou: "Zhang Xian confessed that he conspired to rebel after receiving Yue Fei's text." Zhao Gou understood and immediately ordered Yue Fei to be taken into Dali Temple Prison. The military power has been released, and the official position has also been dismissed. Why is Zhao Gou still unwilling to give up and continue to punish Yue Fei to death? The answer to the question is as sharp as a razor.
