Chapter 83 unwarranted

The news of Yue Fei's imprisonment spread among the government and the public. Many loyal people disregarded Zhao Gou and Qin Hui's autocratic power, spoke up for justice, risked their lives to speak out, and tried their best to rescue Yue Fei. Zhao Shifu, king of the clan Qi'an County, is counted according to seniority. He is Zhao Gou's "uncle emperor". This move. I would like to use the lives of the whole family to ensure Yue Fei’s innocence.” ("The central plains are not in peace, and loyalty is a disaster. I have forgotten the two sages, and I don’t want to return to the Central Plains. I have no one else to protect the whole family.")

Dali Temple Zuoduan Shaoqing Xue Renfu, Dali Temple Chancellor He Yanyou, Li Ruopu and others strongly defended Yue Fei's innocence and demanded that the judicial department release him as soon as possible. Even a Fujian scholar named Fan Cheng wrote a long letter to the imperial court anxiously when he heard that Yue Fei was in prison, using the death of Tan Daoji, a famous Liu Song general, as a lesson, urging Zhao Gou to withdraw his order and exonerate Yue Fei from guilt.At the end of the letter, it said: "I have nothing to do with Yue Fei, and I have never had any personal friendship, it's just out of justice." Virtue, only for His Majesty to cherish the body and ears of the court.")

At this time, Han Shizhong had been dismissed from the post of Privy Envoy, and changed to a freelance Liquan Guan envoy.Because his existence poses less threat to the Jin people than Yue Fei, his fate is good, and he was lucky enough not to be favored by Wushu, and he was not appointed to die. The last time Yue Fei reminded him, he cried and clamored to find Zhao Gou to "defend himself" , finally escaped a catastrophe. Now he is in the same dangerous situation, so he tries hard to be a man with his tail clamped. "Since then, Dumen has thanked guests and never said anything about soldiers. He sometimes straddles donkeys and carries wine. From one or two Xitong, he travels around the West Lake to enjoy himself. See it face to face".But when he heard about Yue Fei's injustice, he couldn't sit still, desperate to die, broke into the Qin Mansion to find Qin Hui to reason.

"You say that Yue Fei and his son conspired against each other, where is the evidence? Show me the evidence!" "The evidence is the letter Yue Yun wrote to Zhang Xian!" "Where's the letter?" "Zhang Xian is on fire!" "If it is burned, then there is no evidence. How can a person be sentenced to death without evidence?!" "You can't convict people without evidence? Childish!" Qin Hui quibbles, "To tell you the truth, Yue Fei must die, although he may not have committed treason." .”) This is the reason for the notorious "unnecessary" in history - "not necessarily".The three-character prison has become an eternal hatred, and there is never much need for slander.

Han Shizhong was choked, and after a long while, he said angrily: "Just rely on one sentence, 'there may not be', I'm afraid people in the world will not accept it!" and go. Seeing the voices against Yue Fei's killing became louder and louder, Qin Hui was very annoyed.The most important thing is that at the end of winter, the peace agreement with the Jinren is about to be signed, so we can't wait any longer! Qin Hui gave Wan Tiao a death order: resolve this matter before the end of the year. Wan Teng also wanted to execute Yue Fei immediately so that he could go home for the New Year. "I am afraid that I will end up in prison without words", but I couldn't find any strong evidence. What should I do?Really anxious to death.However, Wan Teng, a living man, was not suffocated to death by urine. He resorted to the tricks he was good at-creating something out of nothing and making it up.For this reason, he invited Zhang Jun, Wang Jun and others to discuss and study together.

Under his persuasive guidance, Wang Jun tried his best to "recall" several such major events: The first thing is that when Yue Fei was entrusted with the feudal envoy, he said to everyone he met: "Emperor Taizu established the festival at the age of 30, and so did I. Throughout the ages, there are only two of us who have established the festival at the age of 30!" See , this Yue Fei, dare to compare himself with Emperor Taizu, what is it! The second thing is that this spring, when the Jin army invaded Huaixi, Yue Fei stayed on the sidelines and refused to rescue him. He said: "I am not afraid of an opponent like a tiger, but a teammate like a pig. I don't want to fight side by side with Zhang and Han Later, when he heard that the two generals were defeated in Haozhou, he actually said to Zhang Xian: "Zhang Jun's army is paperless, Zhang Xian, you can take 10,000 people there and crush them." ("It seems The Zhang family, Zhang Taiweier will trample 10,000 people.") Then he said to Dong Xian: "Han Shizhong's army is made of tofu, Dong Xian, you can take 10,000 people and trample them down. "("Like the Han family, Dong Taiwei doesn't have to be trampled by 10,000 people.") This is a typical manifestation of slandering friendly troops and hilltopism!

The third thing is that at a meeting of senior generals, Yue Fei publicly insulted the court and said: "The reason why the Song Dynasty has become what it is now can only be blamed on 'above' not cultivating virtue!" Publicly accusing the emperor of being immoral and out of power is not intended to rebel Premonition? ! The fourth one is the most interesting.Wang Jun said that last year when Yue Fei passed by a village temple from his class in Yanling, everyone rested there because it was already dark.At that time, the senior generals in the army were all sitting around Yue Fei, including Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Dong Xian and me.

The night was cool, and everyone sat in groups without talking. Suddenly, Yue Fei spoke up, and he said: "The mountains and rivers are broken, and the golden Ou is incomplete. Tell me, how should we deal with the affairs of the world?" ("How are the affairs of the world?") Everyone didn't know what he meant by saying this, and they looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak up. Only Zhang Xian answered slowly: "The trend of the world and the ownership of the country are all in your Yue Xianggong's words." ("It is in the hands of the Xianggong.")

Later when I was sleeping, I held the hands of Dong Xian and Wang Gui and asked: "Dong Taiwei, Wang Taiwei, have you all heard the conversation between Yue Xianggong and Zhang Taiwei?" Come to hear the words of Xianggong and Zhang Taiwei's opposition?") Both Dong Xian and Wang Gui said, "Listen clearly." "affim?" "affim." Speaking of this, Wang Jun said that Dong Xian and Wang Gui must remember this matter. If you don't believe me, you can ask them. Wan Teng was ecstatic, and said: "Yes, yes, we have to send someone to find the two of them, but they are far away in Ezhou now, and the time must be too late. You, and you, hurry up and get the materials ready. Yue Fei is convicted, and the matter of obtaining evidence can be dealt with later."

After a day, the materials were sorted out, and Wan Qi gathered all the interrogators to convict Yue Fei. What he didn't expect was that Li Ruopu and He Yanyou, the chancellors of Dali Temple, read these materials and agreed that, not to mention that these materials are not credible at all, even if the crimes listed in these materials are true, plus the previous statement that "supporting soldiers Staying and not helping Huaixi", "Fei and his son Yun sent a letter to Zhang Xianling to falsely declare an alarm to move the court, and ordered the constitution to deal with the return of Fei's army", all added up, Yue Fei just uttered wild words, "The crime should be punished." Two years in prison”—at most two years in prison.

After hearing the words of these two legal experts, Wan Teng's eyes darkened and he almost fainted. The time was pushed to the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, and Yue Fei knew that his life was counting down, so he started a hunger strike in order to die quickly.After a few days, he was so hungry that he almost collapsed when the wind blows. When there was nothing he could do, he sent the 12-year-old Yue Lei to prison under the pretext of "becoming a servant and watching him", hoping to defeat Yue Fei's will in terms of family affection. After not seeing him for a few days, his father seemed to be a different person. His formerly vigorous and strong body was gone, replaced by an old man who was as thin as a bamboo pole and so rickety that he couldn't straighten up. Yue Lei couldn't help feeling sad and burst into tears. Yue Fei stopped in his tracks and was stunned. When he finally saw Yue Lei clearly, he couldn't help but staggered a little in a trance, "Hands down in the court, standing at a slant", unable to stand... Seeing this, the jailer escorting Yue Fei slammed the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, and with a "slap", he scolded: "Yue Fei stand at attention!" ("Yue Fei stand at attention!") Yue Fei was startled by the suddenness, and hastily crossed his arms and stood at attention. When he came to his senses, he lowered his hands and sighed to himself, "I once led hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but today I know how powerful the prison guards are." Yue Fei fought countless battles in his life, Nanxunmen, slashed with spears and knives, ran across the Central Plains, fought for three thousand miles, resisted millions of divisions, and shocked the world. He didn't want to be wronged and imprisoned. It is a sigh! It's exactly: How do you know the jailer will be respected if you die?
