Chapter 74 Chapter 74: Why Was Yue Fei the Victim?

Liu Songnian, a great painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, once created a rare work called "The Picture of the Four Generals of Zhongxing", which vividly and vividly depicted the four anti-gold generals Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Yue Fei.Surprisingly, Marshal Yue, whom we are most familiar with and respected, was ranked last, and one of the murderers of this hero, Zhang Jun, was also among them. It is not difficult to answer these two questions. Yue Fei is ranked behind because he has the lowest position, the lowest qualifications, and the youngest age among the "Four Generals of ZTE". Before the pillar, he was indeed a famous anti-gold general who advocated recovery and had outstanding military exploits.Then came a new question: Since Yue Fei was not the leader of the "Four Generals of Zhongxing" who fought against Jin Bing, why was he the one who was killed?

It was his character that caused Yue Fei's death first. Zhu Xi, a Dali scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, thought that Yue Fei was the number one general in Zhongxing, but said that he "relyed on his talents and did not obscure himself."Indeed, Yue Fei had an upright and upright personality. Not only was he not good at protecting himself, but he also offended Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou on two major matters, which deepened Gaozong's hatred and even led to his death. The first incident happened in April of the seventh year of Shaoxing (that is, 1137). Yue Fei went to Lushan Mountain in a rage because Gaozong backed down on the issue of letting him restrain the Huaixi Army's Northern Expedition.Gaozong regards him as an "important monarch". Since the threat from the Jin man is still there, he has to comfort him with good words and urge him to go down the mountain. Murder has been concealed.

The second incident happened in August of the same year. Out of loyalty, Yue Fei suggested that Emperor Gaozong establish a reserve.This year, Emperor Gaozong was only 30 years old, and his only son, Zhao Tan, who was three years old, died of panic eight years ago. When he retreated in Yangzhou, he was frightened and caused sexual dysfunction, and he could no longer have children. Unspeakable pain.There are two taboos in Yue Fei Li Chu's proposal. One is the taboo of Gao Zong's incompetence who is in his thirties, and the other is the taboo of violating the ancestral family law that military generals are not allowed to interfere in the government.

Gaozong's dislike, hatred and antipathy can be imagined. Yue Fei, who is loyal to the country and selfless, is really a scholarly spirit, and he is too thoughtless. Secondly, among the generals in Nandu, Yue Fei was the one with the most meritorious service and the strongest resistance to gold, and he was uncompromising in his grand plan to fight against gold. Every Chinese knows this, so I don't need to repeat it. It is thought-provoking that this is the reason why we respect and praise Yue Fei, and it is also the main reason why Song Gaozong and Qin Hui killed Yue Fei. The general Wanyan Zongbi (i.e. Jin Wushu), who was repeatedly defeated by Yue Fei on the battlefield, offered to kill Yue Fei in exchange for peace. The black hand of persecution and the bloody butcher's knife stretched out to Yue Fei, so Yue Fei had to die.

Yue Fei is utterly loyal, patriotic and loves the people. He longs for the shame of Xue Jingkang and the hatred of his officials. He drives a long cart through Helan Mountain and goes straight to Huanglong Mansion. Creation, leaving behind the storm of hatred, this cannot but be said to be a shocking and alarming tragedy in the history of our Chinese nation.
