Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Yue Fei's "Crime": Unwarranted

Yue Fei in depression decided to keep silent.At the same time, Zhang Jun's life suddenly became wonderful. He jumped up in fright and almost shouted for help.Han Shizhong's deputy, Wang Sheng, the commander of the Han family army, led a heavily armed army approaching him. What is this going on, are you going to rebel after being too aggressive?He set up a stronghold outside the city to guard against this, but once it happened, he still became desperate. He knows how Han Shizhong's Beiwei Army compares with his Zhang Jun's Beiwei Army, and everyone in the world knows it.As long as he turns his face, he will definitely die in Chuzhou.

He braced himself to welcome him out, and asked, "What are you doing, why did you come to see me like this?" Wang Sheng was very calm: "I'm here for the military parade, is it right to wear armor for the parade?" Zhang Jun almost collapsed, it's like this...he roared: "All go to the armor, go to the sword, and see you off the horse!" After this incident, Zhang Jun became angry from embarrassment and determined to tear Chuzhou into pieces.A few days later, he asked Yue Fei to meet at the top of the city. The city of Chuzhou looks very different.Han Shizhong is the hero of the world, and his base should also be Jincheng Tangchi Ruan Iron Domain.No, I was wrong. The city wall of Chuzhou was not high, and it was damaged or even collapsed in many places.Zhang and Yue strolled around and inspected. After a long time, Zhang Jun pointed to a place that was seriously damaged and said, "We must repair all these, so that the defense can be done!"

Yue Fei was silent. Zhang Jun asked, "Fei, what's your opinion?" Yue Fei remained silent. This is puzzling. Of course, the stronger the city, the better. Zhang Jun's starting point is correct this time. Why doesn't Yue Fei agree?Not even a word.Zhang Jun also seemed very puzzled, and repeatedly pressed Yue Fei to express his opinion. As a last resort, Yue Fei finally spoke: "I, Cao Meng, have been kind to the country, and I will do my best to restore the Central Plains. If the city of Chuzhou is built today for defense and surrender, how will it motivate the soldiers?"

This is why Yue Fei is silent.As a general, why didn't Han Shizhong build the city wall? Don't you Zhang Jun think of it at all?Pretend to be confused.Besides, you, Zhang Jun, are all preparing for the withdrawal of troops from Chuzhou, and you still have to force me to express my opinion. What do you want to do? At this moment, Yue Fei certainly didn't know what Zhang Jun wanted to do, he was angry, annoyed, and confused.It's a real shame, much like how his opponents felt when he was on the field. Before launching an attack, he confuses the enemy.Zhang Jun gave him this kind of feeling at this time, why he was so obvious about the obvious things.The reason for not building the city is because we have evolved enough to win the field war with the Jurchens, and we must also win the field, so that we can hope for the Northern Expedition.What is Xiucheng doing?Leaving a way out will kill your spirit.

Instead of being embarrassed after being exposed, Zhang Jun became more and more annoyed, unable to target Yue Fei, he got angry at the two innocent followers around him, and ordered them to be mixed up immediately.This is a blatant venting of anger, a demonstration to Yue Fei. Yue Fei bowed his head immediately, he killed tens of thousands of enemies, but he never had the heart to let innocent people die because of him.He "begged for help and counted to four", and Zhang Jun killed the two attendants amidst his begging for help. The death of these two people made Yue Fei disheartened.At least one thing he saw clearly about the situation before him was that he was insignificant and had no right to speak at all.From this moment on, Yue Fei didn't say a word in Chuzhou.

The Han family army was dismembered, and the most elite Beiwei army was taken to Lin'an, where it was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial army.The rest of the troops marched to Zhenjiang Prefecture, while Chuzhou carried out large-scale construction and urban construction. Everything is as the upper leadership of the Southern Song Dynasty wished. In July, Zhang Jun and Yue Fei returned to Lin'an City to report on their duties.After Yue Fei waited for others to finish a lot of reports, he made his own request. He asked the Southern Song Dynasty to let him disarm and return to the field.

This is his heartfelt voice, since there is no way to serve the country, it is better to retire to the mountains and forests.What does officialdom do to him? Is it power, money, and sex?For more than ten years, he has been extremely strict with himself, and he still lives and eats like a farmer. He has never been contaminated by the life style of Wu, Zhang, Liu and even Han.So what is there to miss? Especially now that he is drifting away from the Southern Song Dynasty officials, the rift cannot be repaired.Instead of this, it is better to walk away, which is better for everyone.He thought so, but Zhao Gou's answer made him elusive again.

Zhao Gou wrote the disapproval edict in his own hand.Regarding Yue Fei's resignation, he replied: "...The division of my army in the past was not enough to defend against the enemy, so my orders were merged into one, and I listened to you. It is the meaning of my appointment." Privy envoy, highest rank in the military, I love you, I love you to the highest level. "Today, when Qing confers Ren Fu and Xun Jia, he seeks to get rid of the position. When there is a time, there is a position, and there is power, but it is said that you can't do anything, and people will always believe in it."

It is really disappointing to think of resigning within half a month after taking office.Now you have the opportunity to display your talents and the authority to do things, but if you say that you can't serve the country according to your own will, who will believe it? Yes, you have doubts in your heart, then we will do something practical to make you feel valued.If Zhang Jun is at odds with you, then transfer him out of Lin'an and go to work in Zhenjiang Mansion.The central hub is completely controlled by you and Han Shizhong, what do you think? Yue Fei was silent. Han Shizhong was silent.

Once again it was publicly teased.O supreme emperor, why do you play such tricks?In the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council was only the highest authority of the military in name, but in fact there were layers of shackles in the capital to block its functions.And where is Zhenjiang Mansion?It was the middle of the Yangtze River defense line in the Southern Song Dynasty. It gathered all of Zhang Jun's army, and it had just swallowed the Han family army. Yue Fei was controlled in Lin'an, and the Yue family army was divided into two parts. Jun controlled the entire army of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Zhao Gou got cheap and acted like a good boy. He said that Zhang Jun was transferred far away, and Han and Yue were in the center... This made people have no choice but to remain silent.Could it be that he smiled coldly and said that the emperor is such a villain? So Zhao Gou's thoughts and Qin Hui's thoughts became reality.Han and Yue's military power was seized, the army was dismembered, and they were placed under house arrest in Lin'an City.The national defense was fully handed over to Zhang Jun.It was the end of July, and after more than two months, things suddenly changed. Not inside, but Jiangbei. Marshal of the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, His Royal Highness Jin Wushu, the Fourth Crown Prince who is famous, brave and invincible, fought countless battles and rarely won, led the army again to invade the Southern Song Dynasty.This time he chose Huainan Road, which was Zhang Jun's defense zone. Zhang Jun has nearly 300,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he has an unprecedented advantage in contending with the Jin army along the way in Huainan.He doesn't have to make any careful tactical arrangements, he just needs to line up his troops and fight the enemy head-on. Strength determines everything. But the actual trend of the battle surprised every Han Chinese.Zhang Jun was actually sitting in the Zhenjiang mansion, and all the elite soldiers were sticking to the south of the river. They just sent some scouts across the river to spy on the military situation and report to him at any time. The whole territory of Huainan was handed over to the Jin people, and they were allowed to be plundered and ravaged. How weird, absurd, and crazy is this!Even when the Northern Song Dynasty was subjugated and cowardice and humiliation emerged endlessly, they were never unable to resist!Not to mention the famous anti-Japanese cities such as Taiyuan and Zhending, even Kaifeng was not handed over when it fell.And this Zhang Jun dared to risk the disapproval of the world, setting a precedent in history, sitting across the river and watching a large area of ​​Jiangbei's land fall, and sitting and watching countless compatriots being abused. Such a person was actually the highest leader of the Southern Song Dynasty military at that time! Zhang Jun is also plausible. He said that looking at the international situation, peace between the North and the South is about to be reached.The Jin army's aggression this time was just because they lost face in the last Zhegao battle and came back to vent their anger.There is no need to cross the river to fight, they will retreat soon. The implication is to take a step back and broaden the sky.Instead of repaying the injustice, why not make a concession first?Some sacrifices are worthwhile for the sake of peace. Thousands of years later, such strange talks would make people dizzy with anger, let alone at that time.For a while, the Southern Song Dynasty was in an uproar, and countless people impeached and accused Zhang Jun. Even Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, who had made up their minds to remain silent to the end, couldn't hold back.For nothing else, even from a purely military point of view, Zhang Jun wasted a more ideal opportunity than before. Jin Wushu came here to seek death this time, not only did he have few soldiers, but he was seriously short of supplies.The shortcomings of the Jurchens appeared at this time. This race rose rapidly in the decay of Song and Liao. The society has transitioned to a semi-feudal and semi-slavery society. For more than a decade, many things just went as they should, without knowing why. In this regard, they are far behind the Khitans. Under Jin Wushu's management, Kaifeng City, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and other areas that were once prosperous all over the world were barren, and everything he could see was weeds except for dead people and dogs. During the invasion of Huainan area for more than a month, these Jurchens were so hungry that they ate cows, horses, and captives.At that time, if the Song army sent heavy troops across the river, the Jurchens would collapse without a fight. The god-given opportunity was wasted in vain. Han and Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and each wrote a memorial. On the one hand, he impeached Zhang Jun, and on the other hand, he opposed the peace negotiation.In the eyes of people with a little conscience, this is the most basic obligation of a Chinese, but to Zhao Gou and others, it is a provocation. Plan ahead. All the previous controls on Yue Fei can be closed.Qin Hui organized an impeachment team of the highest standard, with Yushitai and Zhijian Yuan interacting and cooperating, Yushi Zhongcheng He Zhu, Youjianyi doctor Wan Qixie, and Palace Attendant Yushi Luo Ruji came forward to collect evidence to impeach Yue Fei. This is a very challenging task. These three people have used all means to study Yue Fei's life story, every detail, and researched one by one. In the end, they only listed three "crimes": 1. Yue Fei has a bad working attitude. "Daily plan to lure away, so as to be at ease." 2. The Battle of Huaixi, that is, one year after the end of the Fourth Northern Expedition, when Zhang Jun achieved the great victory in Zhegao, Yue Fei "resolutely refused the Ming Dynasty and refused to join the army." 3. Advocate that Chuzhou "cannot be defended". The above three items, let alone right or wrong, directly revealed a truth: Yue Fei’s behavior before the fourth Northern Expedition in the tenth year of Shaoxing (AD 1140) was impeccable, and he was a person with perfect conduct and no blemishes. And all three are untenable by themselves.The first point is that Yue Fei wrote many resignation letters, and even had a voluntary dismissal strike.This is disrespectful in the concept of the supremacy of imperial power in feudal dynasties, but firstly, there was a reason, and every time Zhao Gou seriously frustrated Yue Fei’s need to serve the country: secondly, the Song Dynasty had a relaxed political environment, and it was never a crime for officials to resign. It is always a noble act of not loving the powerful. As for the second and third points, it has already been clearly stated when the incident happened earlier. During the Battle of Huaixi, Yue Fei was controlled by orders from various parties and was isolated outside the theater.Chuzhou——I believe that Yue Fei didn't know why Zhang Jun pretended to be confused at that time, and he insisted on making a statement.It was a pit, dug long ago, waiting for him to jump down. Realizing this and witnessing Han Shizhong's experience, he understood why Zhao Gou didn't agree to resign when he came back from Chuzhou in early July - if he agreed at that time, how could they persecute a person outside the officialdom? Yue Fei's heart became cold, and he seemed to be in a nightmare for a moment. Could all this be an overall planning process? He was recalling that impeachment had entered another level. Zhao Gou personally came forward to comment. He believed that when Yue Fei was in Chuzhou, he said before Wanjun that Chuzhou could not be defended and that there was no need to repair the city defense.How can the country and him trust such a person? Prime Minister Qin immediately followed up and stated that Yue Fei hid it very deeply. Ordinary people may not be able to see the truth when he said these things to people, thanks to His Majesty's exposure. These two sentences caused explosive turmoil in the official circles of the Southern Song Dynasty.The emperor and the prime minister openly doubted the loyalty of the strongest general and deputy privy envoy of the empire, which was unimaginable in the past ten years. For a while, there are people who say what to do and what to do.This is an opportunity, the friction of the top bosses is a great opportunity to re-queue. Yue Fei tried his best to calm himself down. At this point, he had to make a decision. Yue Fei resigned again. In his memorial, he wrote that his service for many years was not in place. If he made mistakes of one kind or another, he asked His Majesty to "preserve it from beginning to end" and let him "lead far away in the mountains and forests". In the Song Dynasty, ministers and bureaucrats were honored with courtesy, and no matter how serious the criminals were, they were just demoted and exiled.When Yue Fei mentioned that it was always safe, he had fully considered the seriousness of the matter and predicted the consequences to the worst. This time Zhao Gou agreed, and Yue Fei was dismissed from his official position and changed to the post of Wanshou Guanshi.This seemed to be very good, Yue Fei was lifted high and then put down lightly. However, two things were happening at the same time, and only when they were fully connected could we understand Yue Fei's situation and Zhao Gou's real purpose. It was August in the eleventh year of Song Shaoxing (AD 1141) when Yue Fei was dismissed from office.At this time, Jin Wushu withdrew his troops and returned to Kaifeng, and wrote a letter to Zhao Gou.In the letter, as the suzerain of the country, he reprimanded, scolded, and warned, and blamed all the previous wars on the ingratitude of the Southern Song Dynasty.But he was kind, and still didn't want to destroy a once tame servant, so he wrote a letter and took the initiative to curse. This letter was brought back by the original Southern Song envoy who was detained in the Kingdom of Jin.After Zhao Gou and Qin Hui received the news, they were superficially apprehensive, but secretly elated.They looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally they hoped for this intention. Damn Jin Wushu, this unlucky boy, he finally reached a peaceful consensus back then, so he insisted on fighting.What happened, was he disabled by Yue Fei?Now we can't cross the river without being stopped, right?Only then do you know the benefits of peace talks! Zhao Gou immediately wrote a reply letter, in which he admitted his status as a subordinate country and admitted all mistakes.To shirk all mistakes, it was all made by a few frontline generals on their own initiative!And he himself is extremely yearning for peace, please "Caibao, Prime Minister Zuo, Shizhong, Marshal Du, and His Excellency Zongbi, the leader of the province, to convey to His Majesty the Emperor of Jin". Now that peace talks are on the agenda again, is it still necessary to let Yue Fei go?So Yue Fei dismissed get out of class. This is the external factor for Yue Fei's dismissal, and besides this is the imperial edict about Yue Fei's dismissal.Chinese writing is very particular, Chinese officialdom philosophy is very profound, and the layout of national players is pressing every step of the way. Every process is paving the way for follow-up measures. The imperial edict said that Yue Fei had "deep provocations", "has been shocking to the public, well-behaved", and the emperor "remembered his meritorious deeds, favored him with lenient subjects, and fulfilled the contract between the emperor and his ministers, so as to protect the meritorious officials from beginning to end".Yue Fei was asked to "have no choice but to speculate about love, and I will supervise this to serve as your servant, and I will serve you as your ruler." There are traps and foreshadowing everywhere in these texts, which have been used to define Yue Fei's dismissal as a crime; and have been resumed to leave reasons for possible further processing in the future. Yue Fei's writing is wonderful, and the hidden dangers in this dismissal system are clear to anyone with a discerning eye. What doesn't he know?Some people advised him to make some remedies, such as seeking to see the emperor to further show his loyalty.Or they don't go anywhere after being dismissed from office, and they just live in Lin'an City for the elderly, under close surveillance by the officials all the time, expressing that they have no second thoughts. Yue Fei didn't. He lightly drove on the road and went back to his private residence in Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi). Yue Fei walked away from Lin'an arrogantly and unrestrainedly.Behind him, Lin'an City was restless.Is this a sign of weakness or a challenge?Will he cut himself off from the officialdom and the military and be completely harmless, or will he stay away from the imperial capital with revenge in his heart, and contact the old department secretly outside? This is impossible to be sure, because Yue Fei is still full-fledged in theory, and no outsiders can intervene in the Yue Family Army. As long as the two sides meet, they still have enough power to overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty! The actions of Zhao Gou and Qin Hui started quickly.The first step is to dismantle Yue Fei's staff. During the many years of fighting, a large number of loyal literati and advisers gathered around Yue Fei, the leaders of which were of course Li Ruoxu and others.They were dismissed to serve as local officials when Yue Fei went to work in the Privy Council, but there were still eleven people who did not leave. Even if they were dismissed from public posts, they still accompanied Yue Fei all the time. At this time, with a transfer order, they were immediately scattered all over the world.This is not an exaggeration at all.Some go to Guangnan East Road, some go to Guangnan West Road, some go to Jiangnan West Road, and some go to Nanjianzhou. This made it impossible for them to communicate with each other. The staff is scattered, and the next step is the turn of the army.It was late August, Zhang Jun, the privy envoy of the Zhenjiang Mansion, summoned the chief of the Ezhou military for a visit, and asked Wang Gui first, and then Zhang Xian, to come in batches.This can ensure that there will always be a supervisor staying in Ezhou to take charge of the defense. The orders and the order are impeccable, and the subordinates can only obey. Wang Gui is here first.Zhang Jun's reception was like an old friend's. The two chatted a lot, and the topic gradually turned to Yue Fei.Zhang Jun recalled: "Wang Gui, Yue Fei beat you several times and almost killed you. Now is the time, do you want to take revenge?" Wang Gui shook his head: "This is a common occurrence in the army, and there is no mention of revenge." Zhang Jun made it clear: "This is Prime Minister Qin's intention. As long as you help sue Yue Fei, everything is negotiable." Wang Gui still shook his head.He can become the No. 3 figure in the Yue family army, his ability is not too strong, his mind is not too strong, and he is definitely not something that can be lured and swayed by fame and fortune. That's it... Zhang Jun smiled, so let's talk about it in a different way and angle.Wang Gui, don't think that others don't know about something in a certain year and month.Wang Gui was stunned, he was not a completely upright person, he could avoid being lured, but he couldn't avoid being threatened!There is no record in history of exactly what kind of privacy was captured by Zhang Jun, but when he came out of Zhenjiang Mansion, he was no longer the former Wang Gui. On the first day of September, Zhang Xian set off from Ezhou to meet Zhang Jun, accompanied by Yingguan Yue Yun.They would be on the road for about ten days, during which time things changed suddenly. For the first six days all was quiet, and no one noticed anything.On the seventh day, a man named Wang Jun jumped out suddenly, holding written documents to testify that Zhang Xian, Yue Yun and Yue Fei had colluded to recapture the army and threaten the court. Wang Jun is an important member of the Yue family's army and the deputy of Zhang Xian, the former commander of the army.This person has outstanding ability and outstanding military exploits, which are the prerequisites for him to become the leader of the Yue Family Army.In addition to this, he also has a nickname called "Wang Diao'er".Diao'er refers to evil birds, which fight and bite among the birds to cause trouble and harm colleagues.Wang Jun is like this evil bird, a black sheep. This person used a huge amount of space to record in detail the conversation he had with Zhang Xian one night. The content was that Zhang Xian told him that Yue Fei secretly sent someone to send news, asking Zhang Xian to transfer all the troops across the river and station them in Xiangyang. government.This will allow the court to understand Yue Fei's status, thereby ensuring Yue Fei's safety and even allowing him to return to the army. This is really a heinous crime, an out-and-out conspiracy!So Wang Jun reported the matter out of loyalty. Due to space limitations, I cannot transcribe the original text of this informant letter.There are too many loopholes in it that can't be justified. The most obvious point is that apart from the long-standing friction between Zhang Xian and Wang Jun, it is impossible to expose such a confidential matter in advance. The reason why Zhang Xian said it in such detail is because Wang Jun has been objecting and questioning, Zhang Xian seems to want to persuade him, telling all kinds of secrets one by one... Skate the jokes of the world! Anyone who saw such a clumsy trick would shake their heads and smile bitterly. Even Wang Jun himself felt guilty, and added a sentence at the end of the whistleblower letter: "Taiwei Zhang said that someone from Mr. Yue came to rescue him, and Jun had never seen anyone." Come on, I have never seen Zhang Taiwei send someone to go to the court. Zhang Taiwei made this statement, so he wanted to anger everyone and betray the court." No one came, and no one went, so Zhang Xian just complained?Is this also a sin? Whether it is or not, this is enough.Wang Jun handed the informant letter to Wang Gui, and his task was considered complete.But Wang Gui held these few pieces of paper, hesitating in his heart, he absolutely didn't want to do this, but he couldn't help it.After weighing the matter, he handed over the informant letter to Rong Xi, the transit judge on Jinghu North Road. Rong Xie refused to take the hot potato, and returned the original.At this point, Wang Gui had no choice but to hand over the things to Lin Dasheng, Qin Hui's buddy.Lin Loulou quickly handed it over to Zhang Jun of Zhenjiang Mansion. At this time, ten days had arrived, and Zhang Xian and Yue Yun just arrived at Zhenjiang Mansion, and walked into the Privy Council presided over by Zhang Jun... Precise control ensures that Yue Fei's direct descendants and closest people will fall into the trap. After Zhang Xian and Yue Yun entered the Privy Council, they were immediately detained.Zhang Jun ordered interrogation on the spot, and if necessary, he could be sentenced.The intention of extorting a confession by torture was not concealed. But it was rejected by his subordinates.The envoys of the Privy Council Liu Xingren, Wang Yingqiu, etc. said that according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council had no right to set up punishment halls, and had no right to interrogate officials of any level. Zhang Jun sneered, then get out, let me do it myself. Zhang Jun has been waiting for this day for a long time.For a long time all his resentment, envy, and jealousy towards Yue Fei had been vented. He grabbed Yue Fei's lifeblood and tortured Yue Fei's most trusted general and Yue Fei's eldest son with his own hands! What a joy! Zhang Xian was severely tortured until his body was bruised, and so was Yue Yun.But Zhang Jun failed to get what he wanted from beginning to end.The most perfect lie that his stupid brain could concoct is nothing more than saying that Zhang Xian accepted Yue Fei's instigation to instigate the army to rebel and threaten the court, and it was Yue Yun who acted as the bridge between Jiangxi and Ezhou ,etc. But what about the evidence?Zhang Jun felt that there should be a letter.But what about letters?I really can't find it—very good, it must have been burned by Zhang Xian. so bad. Even though it's stupid, even though it's stupid, even though there's no evidence, it's enough.With these imaginary charges, Zhang Jun escorted Zhang Xian and Yue Yun, who were covered in bruises, to Lin'an, and threw them into the prison of Dali Temple. So far the net has been opened, only Yue Fei is left to enter the urn. How to capture Yue Fei?This can really reflect the "wisdom" of Qin Hui and Zhao Gou.They didn't make much fanfare at all. Instead, the Prime Minister ordered Yang Yizhong, the commander of the imperial army, to go to Jiangxi to call Yue Fei into Lin'an with a "doctrine". There is no need to use any special tricks to deal with Yue Fei, as long as it is regular.The more formal the order, the less likely Yue Fei would refuse, even if there was a mountain of swords and flames in front of him, he would still jump off. When Yang Yizhong left Lin'an and rushed to Jiangxi, Yue Fei already knew some news.Jiang Shixiong, a general of one of his former ministries, was transferred to Fujian to serve. He accidentally learned the news of Zhang Xian and Yue Yun's detention in Lin'an City, and rushed to Jiangxi day and night to report the news. Yue Fei was very calm, many things flashed through his mind, and everything became clear after a little thought.Deceiving Wang Jun to make a false accusation, implicating Zhang Xian and Yue Yun in the crime, and finally counting on him—this is exactly the same as the method used to frame Han Shizhong before. How to deal with it? Jiang Shixiong persuaded him to learn from Han Shizhong and quickly went to Beijing to intercede with the emperor.Or go away and fly away from everything.Anyway, we must not sit still!Yue Fei smiled wryly, how could he learn from Han Shizhong. Yue Fei has never bowed his head ignorantly in his life, never bowed down because of life, death and wealth!What's more, Han Shizhong's contribution to saving lives and driving was not comparable to that of Zhao Gou.After thinking about it again and again, Yue Fei sighed calmly, and said: "If the heavens have eyes, they will not make loyal officials fall into injustice; in case of misfortune, there is nowhere to escape." God has eyes, and nature protects Zhongliang—what a beautiful wish! Yang Yizhong came one day in late September, and Yue Fei followed him peacefully.On October 13th, Wanshou Temple made Yue Fei return to Lin'an City, but he failed to meet the emperor and prime minister, so he was sent to prison directly. On that day, Yue Fei's sedan chair was carried into Dali Temple.Yue Fei was astonished. He never expected that he would go to prison without impeachment or defense.He asked loudly, "How did you bring me here?" No one answered him. Yue Fei got off the sedan chair inside the gate of Dali Temple, and saw that there were thick curtains hanging in the secret rooms all around, and there was no one there.Just as he was looking around, someone came out and said to him, "This is not where Xianggong sits. The Prime Minister is waiting behind you. Please, Xianggong, take care of the number." According to the comparison, that is, the interrogation. Yue Fei was astonished. He had worked hard for the country for half his life, but he ended up being interrogated! He followed the visitors to the depths of Dali Temple, and on the way, he suddenly saw Zhang Xian and Yue Yun who were mangled in shackles.At this point, he finally knew how naive he was. He thought that the officialdom in the Song Dynasty was loose, and he was an extremely human minister, even if he was punished, he would not be harsh. How could he think that his beloved general and eldest son would be tortured! At this moment, he could only continue walking. The person waiting for him inside was Yushi Zhongcheng He Zhu. This person was Qin Hui's confidant. Not long ago, he impeached him and caused him to be dismissed from office. The presiding judges for Yue Fei were He Zhu, the head of the Yushitai, and Zhou Zhouwei, the minister of Dali Temple.The two asked Yue Fei why he rebelled and how he rebelled. Yue Fei really couldn't answer this question.It's like a big bird with white wings, when someone asks why your wings are black, how do you let it answer?Yue Fei could only smile, and said: "Emperor Empress Dowager, you can show your heart." He tore off his shirt and exposed his back. On it were four large characters written in ink deep into his skin—serve the country with loyalty. The four characters "serve the country with loyalty" are the totem of the Chinese nation. It not only condenses Yue Fei's eight thousand miles of cloud and moon, but also imprints his 15 years of hard work, and it also inspires the blood in the hearts of countless Chinese people.Not only at that time, more than 800 years later, when China once again faced the crisis of national subjugation and genocide, the people of the country used it as a slogan to go to the battlefield! It is magical and sublimates a person's soul in just a split second.He Zhu, he was originally Qin Hui's confidant, he had impeached Yue Fei not long ago, and had a deep prejudice against Yue Fei, but at this moment, he took the case and ended the trial.He left Dali Temple and went directly to Qin Hui. He argued for Yue Fei, he wanted to get rid of Yue Fei's crime! The so-called evidence is full of flaws and is not worth refuting. It is all false and blatantly framed.Faced with these, Qin Hui was stunned, he didn't understand what was going on, how did He's cronies seem to have changed in a blink of an eye, did he go crazy, or was he bought by Yue Fei?He tried a few words of persuasion: "The most important thing is to frame Yue Fei..." Unexpectedly, what he got in return was He Zhu's dismantling of the case step by step, and He Zhu had to defend Yue Fei no matter what.At this point, Qin Hui finally pulled off his mask, and lazily threw out his hole card: "This is what I want." This is what the emperor meant. He felt that this was the end, and that He Zhu could end it with peace of mind, but unexpectedly, He Zhu counterattacked further: "Zhu Qi is just a Yue Fei, and the powerful enemy is not destroyed. He killed a general for no reason, and lost the soldiers' hearts. The long plan of the community." Qin Hui finally understood that the person in front of him had been brainwashed by Yue Fei—he had spent several years to win over this person, and Yue Fei had only spent so much time brainwashing him.It's really frustrating to think about it, but I can only give up. He Zhu was appointed as the envoy to visit the Kingdom of Jin to discuss peace talks, and went abroad immediately.Yue Fei's presiding judge was replaced by Wan Qixie.Wan Qixie and Yue Fei have had old grievances for a long time. He served as a transfer judge on Jinghu North Road, and handled some criminal and prison duties. He was greedy and treacherous, and was despised by Yue Fei.With a grudge in his heart, this person turned to Qin Hui and regarded Yue Fei as his sworn enemy. Wan Qi Xie is different from He Zhu.He Zhu has a heart that has never lost his conscience, and he knows justice, truth, and the interests of the country.But Wan Qixi doesn't care about these, he only has his own selfish desires in his eyes.From this point of view, this person and Qin Hui and Zhao Gou are real accomplices, and they are essentially the same. For the sake of a prosperous future, no matter what moral conscience! Wan Qixi presided over the trial, and Yue Fei's suffering began.This person confounded black and white and created something out of nothing. He not only magnified the three so-called crimes mentioned above, but also listed many "rebellious words" that Yue Fei had said. For example, Yue Fei said when he was promoted to Jiedu envoy: "It is rare in ancient and modern times to establish a festival at the age of thirty." Zhao Kuangyin. Are you, Yue Fei, comparing yourself to Taizu? For example, Yue Fei once said after the Battle of Huaixi: "The country is in trouble, and the officials don't cultivate morality." This is a public slander for the current emperor. Another example is Yue Fei's public contempt for his colleagues, saying that the troops of Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong are vulnerable.There are also the most important two questions and answers. It was during the fourth Northern Expedition and had to retreat. One night, the generals of the Yue family were sitting in an ancient temple. , how?" After another period of silence, Zhang Xian replied, "I'm dealing with you." How outrageous is this!This question and answer not only exposed Yue Fei's ambition, but also confirmed Zhang Xian's crime of accomplice. This master and slave was testing the hearts of the generals and openly plotting rebellion! Such words are all released at this time, and their credibility can be imagined.And these turned out to be Yue Fei's criminal evidence, and because they were collected by Wan Qixie and recognized by the Southern Song Dynasty officials, they were continuously cited by various people for hundreds of years in later generations. In future generations, even if the family is full of gold, there will always be people with conscience to protect Yue Fei's reputation.But at that time, Yue Fei was already in trouble, and no one could protect him and give him even a little bit of justice. Wan Qixi listed the so-called "criminal evidence" above, and finally tried Yue Fei again.In the courtroom, this person yelled nakedly: "Yue Fei, why did the country wrong you, yet your father and son want to rebel with Zhang Xian?" Obviously the other party is the treacherous villain, but now he is being interrogated by this villain whether he is treasonous or not.This extreme absurdity completely angered Yue Fei.He retorted with a louder voice: "I swear to the alliance of heaven, I will never fail the country! You are in charge of the righteous law, and you must not harm loyal officials! I will go to the underworld and face you endlessly!" While speaking, Yue Fei's brows were furious, and he stretched out his arms and fingers. He was unable to control himself after being wronged and imprisoned for a long time.At this moment, the yamen servant next to him suddenly hit the ground with his stick and scolded: "Yue Fei stands upright with his arms crossed!" Yue Fei woke up suddenly. At this moment, he was completely awake. The deeds of his life flashed in his mind. The fame at the age of thirty, the journey of eight thousand miles, and the commander of a hundred thousand soldiers were all in the past. He is just a prisoner now! Even a yamen servant dared to scold him, but the following scene made Yue Fei feel ashamed when he was sober.Wan Qixie said: "Xianggong said that he had no intention of rebelling. Do you still remember the poem "When will the poor family be rich and honored" written on the wall when you visited Tianzhu Temple? What does this mean? After writing such words, Doesn't it show that you have unreasonable thoughts and intentions to rebel?" This is not a trial, this is a game.Even this is not a crime, but a joke.Under the premise of Yue Fei's life and death, loyalty or not, linking the so-called "wealth and honor" with rebellion is no longer a frame, but an insult! You are not guilty, but I just want to play you to death, how about it? At this time, Yue Fei calmed down, and only said one sentence: "I know that since I fell into the hands of the traitors of Qin Hui, who made me loyal to the country, I will stop once." After finishing speaking, he never said a word. There is nothing more to say, it is impossible to refute, there is no justice, what else can you say, can you reason with villains, and treacherous officials who know they are framing Zhongliang?Yue Fei is just loyal, he is not naive. Wan Qixi didn't let him go.When a villain falls into the hands of a gentleman, at best he dies cleanly.It is not easy for a gentleman to die if he falls into the hands of a villain.How many good things Yue Fei has ruined them these years, how can he let him go easily, how can he let him die easily and decently? What happened next is not so much the shame of Yue Fei, but the shame of a nation: rather than the pain of Yue Fei alone, it is the pain of the entire Han nation. Yue Fei was tortured. The Han people are killing their own heroes and humiliating their strongest generals.Everything has its cause and its effect, no matter who did it or why, it all leads to the ugliest and most tragic consequences. Heroes are useless, heroes cannot protect themselves, and heroes are tortured... So the number of heroes is getting smaller and smaller day by day, until they wither and wither.The building will fall, and it will be impossible to support it alone! Yue Fei was tortured in prison, kept silent, never said a word, and never admitted his guilt until he went on a hunger strike.But Wan Qixie and his group couldn't let him die soon due to various reasons, such as changes in the current situation. They found Yue Fei's second son, Yue Lei, and asked Yue Lei to deliver food to the prison, implying a threat. In order to force Yue Fei to live. Yue Fei's experience gradually spread outside the prison. At this time, the Song Dynasty had already self-mutilated to a dangerous critical point.The princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all prepared for danger in times of peace, and everyone was wise and safe. No one dared to stand up and say a fair word, let alone speak out for the family and the country. At that time, only a few people did something. It was several literati who wrote the letter to express their grievances, including Zhijia, Liu Yunsheng, Fan Chengzhi, etc., among whom Zhijia was a monk.Zhao Gou lived in seclusion, and there were only a very small number of high-ranking dignitaries who could speak face to face. A member of the royal family named Zhao Shiqin pledged the lives of his entire family to guarantee that Yue Fei would never turn his back on him. Other than that, Han Shizhong was the only one. Han Shizhong is already a casual person.Half a month after Yue Fei was imprisoned, he was dismissed from all official positions, and he only took the title of Grand Tutor as the Liquan envoy. The little boy straddled the donkey and carried the wine, walking around the West Lake to relax.In other words, he is expressing his determination with actions. 当良民,保性命。 可是当他知道岳飞的事之后,仍然怒不可遏,无法克制,他找到了秦桧,当面责问岳飞到底有什么罪,这么长时间了,到底查出了什么。 秦桧的回答是坦诚的,他的原话是:“飞子云与张宪书虽不明,其事体,莫须有。”
