Chapter 85 evil
One month before Yue Fei's execution (the eleventh year of Shaoxing, November 1141), Zhao Gou and Qin Hui had already signed the peace treaty sent by the Jinren.
This time the peace negotiation contract is more harsh than the one in the eighth year of Shaoxing (1138), and its contents include:
It was such an unequal peace treaty. Qin Hui was still worried that those who wrote lyrics for the Jin people would "not please their captives", so he handed over this important task to his adopted son Qin Yu and his confidant Cheng Kejun, telling them to let go of their ideological concerns. , let go of your hands and feet, and do your best to express your praise and gratitude to the Jin people, and everything "must be what you want."
Thus, under the guidance of Qin Hui, a great proclamation was born, declaring that the peace talks were "a very grand event" and "dare to forget and never repay the deep kindness".
After the proclamation was issued, Zhao Gou anxiously waited for Jin Ren's reply.
According to Zhao Gou's earnest application, the Kingdom of Jin wrote a "Catalogue", which said: "Zhao Gou, King Kang of the Song Dynasty, did not hang up, and the sky fell to Erbang. Jiang Biao, I have worked hard as a teacher for ten or eight years. I am here. I mourn with shock, what crimes the people have committed! Today, they regret their misfortune, salivate and seduce you. .Now we send Dr. Guanglu, Zuo Xuanhui envoy Liu Yu, etc. to order you to be the emperor, the country is called Song, and the world will serve as a minister, and you will be a Pinghan forever. Woohoo Qinzai, he respectfully obeys my orders!" You're done!After reading every word on the "Book" carefully, Zhao Gou breathed a sigh of relief and went to sleep in peace.
In the spring of the second year of Yue Fei's murder, the "witness" Dong Xian was taken to Lin'an.The first person to meet him was the treacherous Qin Hui. The treacherous Qin smiled all over his face and made an affectionate look. He stroked Dong Xian's shoulder and said, "You don't need to be nervous. The emperor summoned you just to let you Prove a word, and if you prove it, you can go back." ("There is only one word that you want to prove, and if you prove it, you can only come out today.")
Yue Fei's father and son died tragically, and the hearts of the people were terrified.
Under the horror of blood, Dong Xian's prestige and arrogance of fighting against the enemy alone disappeared when he occupied the bridge head alone, and he behaved submissively and sincerely.
He was taken to Dali Temple by two of Qin Hui's henchmen. As soon as Dong Xian saw the criminal, he immediately "kowtowed down" and answered every question.
Qin Hui knew that Dong Xian was so well-behaved, so he didn't make things difficult for him, and soon released him.Later, Yao Zheng, Pang Rong, and Fu Xuan were promoted to varying degrees because they voluntarily attached themselves to testify against Yue Fei.Because of Wang Jun's meritorious service in exposing, his official position was changed from Zuowu doctor and Guozhou defense envoy to full-time observer envoy.Wan Qi was able to do things well and made meritorious interrogations, so he was recommended by Qin Hui as a political adviser.Yang Yizhong actively lured Yue Fei to prison, was in charge of supervising and beheading meritorious service, worshiped the young master, and later made Gong Guogong and the young teacher.
In contrast, Zhang Jun is a villain in vain. He "praises peace talks, agrees with Hui, and agrees with everything." He fully believes that following Qin Hui has brought down Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, and that he is the number one in the military and can monopolize command of the national army.But in the end, Qin Hui turned to him the method of punishing Han and Yue: he ordered his party member Jiang Miao to impeach Zhang Jun, saying that his confidants were in charge of the army, and his minions were in the upper class. The misfortune cannot be predicted", and later even accused him of conspiring to usurp the throne and committing a heinous crime.He made Zhang Jun lose his official position and his post, and his evening scene was bleak.
At the beginning, Wang Gui was unwilling to cooperate with Qin Hui, so Qin Hui ordered Wang Jun to change his statement, saying that the letter written by Yue Yun was addressed to Wang Gui besides Zhang Xian.
When Wang Gui heard the news, he was shocked, and hurriedly "resisted the rules and listed himself", "leading the disease as a excuse".
Veteran General Niu Gao did not respond as quickly as Wang Gui. After a long time, he was still dissatisfied with the peace talks with the Jinren, and often complained with the help of wine, but was ordered by Tian Shizhong to put something in the wine. —Rat poison, poisoned to death.When Niu Gao was about to die, he said sadly: "I am over sixty years old, and I am satisfied from being an official to a servant, but the hateful thing is that my homeland has not been restored. I can't die in battle, but die at home. I am not reconciled. !" ("Sixty-one years of age, from officials to attendants, fortunately enough. I hate the peace between the north and the south, and don't wrap the body in horse leather, so I will die!")
In addition, many generals and staff in Yue Fei's army, such as Wang Minqiu, Yang Hao, Xing Shunju, Zhu Fu, Li Ruoxu, Gao Ying, Wang Liangcun, Xia Gong, Dang Shangyou, Zhang Jiefu, etc., were all demoted and exiled.
Zhao Shifu, He Yanyou, Li Ruopu, Xue Renfu, Yu Peng, Sun Ge, Wang Churen, Jiang Shixiong, Zhijia, Liu Yunsheng, Fan Cheng, Liu Hongdao, Zhang Jie, etc. who once spoke out for Yue Fei were either high-ranking officials, eunuchs, or commoners. Without exception, they were persecuted, or demoted or exiled, or imprisoned, or executed, or assassinated, and the methods were vicious, tragic, and outrageous.
Even He Zhu, Qin Hui's party member, was expelled from the court by Qin Hui because of "disagreement in discussing prisons".
After being sifted through in this way, all the power at home and abroad belongs to Qin Hui.According to history, "Above the palace, is it the Qin family's cronies; the government and the opposition are rushing to the top, and there are all cypress thieves and minions."
Since he hated Yue Fei and "hated" Wu Jiwu, the frenzied Qin Hui ordered to change Yuezhou's name to Chunzhou, and the Yueyang Army in Jiezhen was changed to Huarong Army.
However, justice is at ease, and time will prove everything.
Hong Hao, an envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty, was detained in Yanjing by the Jin people at that time. Hearing the news of Yue Fei’s death, he wrote to Zhao Gou with great grief: Die, let's drink wine and congratulate each other."
In July of the twelfth year of Shaoxing (1142), the Jin people repatriated the coffins of Zhao Gou's mother Wei and Zhao Ji in accordance with the agreement in the peace talks.
Zhao Ji's body had been taken by the Jin people to refine oil, and what was in the coffin was only a piece of burnt wood.More than a hundred years later (to the 22nd year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, 1285), Yang Lianzhenjia, the "Jiangnan Buddhist President" of the Yuan Dynasty, instructed Zong Yun and others to rob Emperor Song's tomb on the grounds of taking revenge on Luo Mi. They found in Zhao Ji's coffin , just this piece of charred wood, and a small amount of funerary objects, nothing more.
Regarding Zhao Ji's death, there is a creepy and detailed record in "Nanjin Jiwen": It is said that one morning, when the north wind was strong and the dripping water turned into ice, the young emperor Zhao Heng climbed out of the pit where he lived to pay his respects to his father, and found his father Already "frozen to death".Can't help but feel sad and cry loudly.The nearby Jurchens were all alarmed.Zhao Heng wanted to bury his father on the spot.But the Jurchen said: "We don't have the habit of burying here, it's too wasteful. Whenever a person dies, his body will be burned with a raging fire, and the oil will be refined. When it is half burned, it will be thrown into the big stone pit in the north of the state to refine it. The oil can be used to light lamps, bring light to the earth, and benefit mankind." ("There is no burial here. All dead bodies must be burned, and half of them will be discarded in the north stone pit of the state. Therefore, this water can be used as a lamp Also.") As soon as the voice fell, a group of vicious people rushed in, without any explanation, they set up the corpse with wooden sticks and left.
Zhao Heng stumbled and followed all the way.When they arrived at the big stone pit in the north, the group "strewn the corpse on top and burned it with tea tree wood".Zhao Heng couldn't stop it, "Jumped the number and wanted to jump into the pit", everyone held on tightly and didn't let go.They didn't regret Zhao Heng's life, but said: "In the past, a living person jumped into it, and the water was cleared up, so it can't be used as oil." for oil.")
Zhao Heng could not wish to die, so he wiped the tears from his face and asked, "What day is today?" The kind Jurchen told him, "The eighteenth day of the first lunar month in the third year of Tianjuan (1141)."
All the women captured by the Jin people during the Jingkang Incident were humiliated and ravaged by the Jurchens, and Zhao Gou's mother, Wei Shi, his two wives and two daughters were no exception.Wei Shi first worked as an old prostitute in the laundry, and later married Congliang King Gaitian as his concubine, and gave birth to two children.
King Gaitian's original name was Saili, but he later changed his name to Wanyan Zongxian during the Jurchens' name change. Books such as Nandulu, Stealing Wrath, and Nanjin Jiwen all recorded that Gaitian smugly boasted : "From now on, Zhao Gou must call me Father."
Zhao Gou's wife, Xing Bingyi, was "damaged by a fall of a horse" by the Jin people on the way to the north. When she arrived in the Kingdom of Jin, in the ninth year of Tianhui (1131), she gave birth to a son for Wu Qimai, and was named Jianyan Song Kingdom lady.
The Jin people brutally murdered Zhao Gou’s father and brother, raped Zhao Gou’s mother, sister, wife and daughter inhumanely, slaughtered the subjects of the Song Dynasty heinously, invaded the territory of the Song Dynasty arrogantly, and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. structure.Zhao Gou personally led civil and military officials to welcome Webster in Linping Town, and Han Shizhong also accompanied him.Seeing him, Webster said in surprise, "Are you General Han? I've heard your name for a long time in the north!"
Han Shizhong "tasted the poisoned arrow into the bone, and took it with a strong crossbow. Only four of his ten fingers could not move, and the scars of the knife and arrow were like a picture."When Webster saw him, he sighed and expressed his condolences again and again.
Han Shizhong replied: "I use commoner clothes to rank among the princes because of my military exploits. I can save my life by relying on the grace of God. I have no regrets in this life!" The leader was saved, so there is no regret.") Webster then turned his head and asked, "Why didn't you see General Xiaoyan (referring to Yue Fei)?" In a word, the people present couldn't believe it.
After a long period of embarrassment, someone quietly told her: "Yue Fei has been given to death!"
Empress Dowager Wei jumped up, and asked Zhao Gou: "Song and Jin confront each other, and it's all due to the second general Han Yue. Why do you want to kill Yue Fei?" Zhao Gou didn't answer in silence.
The envoy Jin stayed at the post house at night, and quietly asked his companions, "What crime did Yue Fei die for?"
The companion in the hall replied hesitantly: "I wanted to plot treason, but I was reported by my subordinates, so I was given death."
There was a look of mockery in the eyes of the envoy Jin, and he said: "The only loyal minister in the south of the Yangtze River who is good at using soldiers is Yue Fei. Fan Zeng from the south of the Yangtze River was abandoned by Zhao Gou, no wonder he was defeated by my Dajin, he deserved it!" Fan Zeng couldn’t use it, so I caught it for me. Like a fly, there is no Fan Zeng in the south of the Yangtze River!”)
The museum companions are at a loss for words.
When Qin Hui found out about this, he ordered people to block the news, and dismissed the museum companions as civilians.
At this time, Qin Hui, because the peace talks had been completed, "took the power of the captives to want the king", borrowed the power of the Jin Kingdom's backing to say that "it is stated in the alliance book that it is not allowed to go to the prime minister with innocence", and began a 19-year-long prime minister. In the era of rule, people "know that there is Qin Hui, but they don't know that there is an imperial court", "life, death, and abandonment, only do what they want", and the desire for power is so overwhelming that they can't live forever.
In order to guard against him, Zhao Gou had to hide the dagger in his boots in case of accidents. It was not until Qin Hui died that he said with relief: "I don't want to wear a dagger in my knee trousers."
Although Zhao Gou and Qin Hui crazily suppressed the people's speech, the common people still hang Yue Fei's portrait in every household, enshrining it sooner or later, and the enshrinement lasts forever. Yue Fei has become a heavenly king-level idol.Jingzhongfang in Ezhou City also quietly set up a Zhonglie Temple for Yue Fei.
Liu Guo, a great poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote "Liuzhou Getou Tiyue Ewang Temple", the word cloud:
