It is said that the starting point of this boat is "Yan", which is near the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which is the north; the end point is the Song Army Water Village of the Lianshui Army (now Lianshui County, Jiangsu Province), which is the south. Between the south and the north, the distance is more than 2,800 miles. This is an extraordinary distance, and spanning two countries at war, the difficulty can be imagined, and basically no one believes it.Therefore, when the ship arrived at the Lianshui Army and told the way out, Song Jun's first reaction was to draw his sword and force it over.

Nothing else, this is a spy, kill it! At a critical moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the boat. He told the people around him that his surname was Qin and his name was Qin Hui. He asked if there were any scholars here, and if so, they should know him. There really is a scholar in the local area, surnamed Wang, who is a wine seller.God knows if he really knows Qin Hui, or if he knows what Qin Hui looks like, and he can confirm it as soon as they meet.This is all a mystery, anyway, he came over and saluted Qin Hui respectfully, saying: "Zhongcheng has worked hard, and traveling far is not easy."

The Song Dynasty respected scholars. When he said this, the Lianshui Army immediately believed it and sent people to escort the ship to Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) to meet the emperor Zhao Gou. It was October in the fourth year of Song Jianyan (AD 1130).Qin Hui returned to the imperial court of the Song Dynasty in Yuezhou, and his return was exciting.He is a legendary hero. At that time, he opposed the ceding of the three northern towns and Zhang Bangchang's usurpation of the throne, until he was captured by the Jin army. How loyal and brave he was, has been remembered by the entire Song Dynasty and admired by all Han people.

The name Qin Hui is second only to Li Qiushui. However, after the excitement, some doubts also surfaced.Inadvertently, Qin Hui set a record. He was the only former Song official who had returned from the north up to this time.How did he do it? According to Qin Hui, when he was a prisoner in the north, he was assigned to Wan Yanchang's subordinates and suffered all kinds of abuse.Later, because of his outstanding talent, the Jurchens also admired him, so he gradually came into contact with some high-level jobs, such as writing some plans or something.From then on, Wan Yanchang couldn't do without him, and he had to take him with him even when he went to the front line to fight.

This fits well with the timing of his escape.Around October in the fourth year of Song Jianyan (1130 A.D.), Wan Yanchang was leading an army to attack the Huaihe area. The above is the antecedent. When it comes to the specific means of escape, Qin Hui expressed that he was very brave.He saw the right time, killed the Jin soldiers guarding him, seized a large ship, broke through many obstacles, entered the Yangtze River from the Huaihe River Basin, and arrived at the Song Army Water Village. What an epic feat! The audience fell silent.This is rowing a single boat for thousands of miles. The martial arts sage Guan Yunchang is a bull.How many Jin troops along the way, especially the huge army led by Wan Yanchang, can't stop him, and they can't catch up with him. What a magical engine his boat must have to run so fast?And looking at the boat, it carried Qin Hui's wife Wang, the whole team of family servants, plus a large number of jewelry, coins, and daily necessities. Is this a flight or a trip?

Therefore, some people suspect that Qin Hui is not a hero who fled back at all, but a spy who surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin and came back to cause trouble.With this inference, various theories obtained from various sources have emerged one after another. Among them is Qin Hui's life in the Northland. At the beginning, Qin Hui stayed beside Zhao Ji like Sun Fu, He Li and others and was imprisoned together.Since Zhao Ji is a political prisoner who can never be released, they also have to sit through the prison.This is really too tragic, Qin Hui is very sad, but there is nothing he can do.Until a turning point appeared, Zhao Gou proclaimed himself emperor, and the Song Dynasty had hope again.

After Zhao Ji got the news, he thought that he could negotiate conditions with Jin Guo. He said that he could make the decision for Zhao Gou and talk about peace with Jin Guo.For this reason, Zhao Ji tried his best to write a peace agreement, which was processed and polished by Qin Hui before sending it out to ensure safety.The latter matter was also manipulated by Qin Hui, who used a lot of money to bribe Wan Yan Zonghan, the head of the Jin Kingdom, to ensure that this matter would happen. They didn't know Wanyan Zonghan's reaction, and they didn't know the outcome of the peace talks. What was certain was that Qin Hui, the manipulator, had attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Jin.Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai personally ordered Qin Hui to be transferred from the concentration camp and assigned to Wanyanchang as a private slave.

In this way, Qin Hui has the image of a bad guy.In this version, Qin Hui not only changed his original intention, no longer resisting the war, but also bribed and seduced high-ranking officials of other races. His behavior was really despicable and ugly. But there is one thing that makes people doubt that Yan Zonghan was bribed with a lot of money... Where did the money come from? The Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers in Huanglong Mansion were as poor as beggars, and they couldn't even afford decent green cloth clothes. Wanyan Zonghan's big money? This is an impossible task. So, this version is questionable.The following is about his wife Wang.The Wang family was born in a famous family and was the granddaughter of Wang Gui, a famous prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty.In terms of Qin Hui's family background, it is really high.

There are many stories about this woman, which to a large extent determine the fate of a nation.As soon as she appeared on the stage, she brought a doubt that could not be explained anyway. Why is she with Qin Hui? If Qin Hui is a spy, then there must be something important left in the Kingdom of Jin, which can be regarded as a bet.Generally speaking, this kind of bet is either a hostage or a handle.There are most hostages, sons, grandsons, fathers, and mothers are the best hostages, followed by daughters and granddaughters, and wives are the least deterrent. Because wives are like clothes, no one takes this seriously.

That doesn't allow her to go back to the country with Qin Hui, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, so the rules can't be broken, but she just came back.So, can she be used as circumstantial evidence to prove that Qin Hui is not a spy? No, there is a version in which Qin Hui is both a spy and Wang escapes.It said that Wang was an "outstanding" prisoner who was appreciated by the upper class of Jin before Qin Hui.She is beautiful, talented, and smart. In short, she is very charming. She stands out from all the captured female family members of the royal family and high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty, making a lot of leaders of the Kingdom of Jin drool.

Among them, the most prominent one is Wanyan Zongbi, also known as Jin Wushu.Afterwards, Wan Yanchang also fell in love and fell in love with her pomegranate skirt. This is really unlikely, based on time, Jin Wushu's position, hobbies and other objective reasons, the romance between him and the Wang family will not happen.His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was busy fighting all day long. He fought against the people of the Song Dynasty in the early days, and strangled his own people in the middle and late stages. Both internally and externally, blood was drawn out of the ground. From the beginning to the end, he had no chance or interest to have any exotic love affairs with this female prisoner of the Song Dynasty. Besides, even if it is done, will Qin Hui be treated differently?If this is the case, so many royal women of the Song Dynasty in Huanyiyuan would have won various freedoms for their relatives long ago. Leaving aside the pornographic version, let's look at Wang's performance when Qin Hui returns as a spy version.She was originally a determined hostage, and from then on, she and Qin Huitian separated and continued to confuse Wanyan Zongbi and others in the north, but she didn't want to, she was smart enough to decide her own destiny.Just a few nights before Qin Hui left, she suddenly yelled at Qin Hui: "My father married me to you back then. He had 200,000 yuan as a dowry, and asked you to share the joys and sorrows with me. Now that Dajin Kingdom trusts you, are you going to throw me away?" The roar spread far away, startling Wan Yanchang's eldest wife Yichepo.The topic of women quickly made women interested, and the fire of gossip from Yichepo was burning uncontrollably, so she came to her. What the two women talked about, outsiders don't know, anyway, when the woman returned home, she talked to her husband Wan Yanchang, and a gust of "Jurchen's pillow wind" blew over, and Wang followed Qin Hui to board the boat. Looking at the whole process, if it is true, then we should really lament the human rights status of Chinese women in the twelfth century. They can participate in all kinds of things, and they can change decision-making to any extent.What an advanced and benevolent society this is. In a word, I feel that this is an authentic unofficial history, and it is okay to read as a novel. So, then again, is Qin Hui a spy?The journey is so long, but the family members are safe and sound. This has drawn huge question marks in people's hearts, making it impossible to explain, and no matter how they explain it, it feels far-fetched. Qin Hui walked towards the court of the Southern Song Dynasty amidst such doubts, and met countless questioning eyes along the way.However, he didn't care, because two big men assured the court that he was a loyal minister and definitely not a spy, and that his return was a heroic feat. These two bigwigs are Prime Minister Fan Zongyin and Tongzhi Privy Council member Li Hui.The sum of the two people is exactly the sum of the military and political power of the Southern Song Dynasty.They played together, even if they couldn't convince people, at least Qin Hui could settle down in the officialdom. Not long after, people kept wondering whether they were all Qin Hui's accomplices, from Wang Xiucai, who sold wine in Lianshui Village, to Fan Zongyin, Prime Minister of Southern Song Dynasty, and Li Hui, member of the Privy Council, who escorted Qin Hui to Zhao Gou all the way? With reference to what happened in the future, there is no way to avoid doubts, and the answer is so vague.There is no way to verify Wang Xiucai. Could it be that he is the inside line set up by the Jin people in Lianshui Village? There is no need for that.A wine seller can't stand up to the military and political circles, his function is almost zero, and he has no training value.So is Bum Jong Yoon?Even more ridiculous. Check the resume of Prime Minister Fan. This is really a young man with great ambition and high spirits. His rapid rise to fame made Zhang Jun, who had just broken the record, feel inferior.Fan Zongyin, courtesy name Juemin, was born in Dengcheng, Xiangyang (now Xiangyang, Hubei).Jinshi was born.Before the Jingkang change, the history books said that he "retired to serve the censor and admonished the doctor from the right". It looks normal, but it's actually super scary.He was born in 1100 A.D., and the Jingkang Incident took place around 1126 A.D. Do the math, he was only 26 years old when he was promoted to the head of speech officials, and he was also the head of both Yushitai and Zhijianyuan! This is a veritable official monster. After that, he agreed to cede the three towns in the north, and sang against Qin Hui, the chief of Yushitai at that time.Afterwards, when the Jin army retreated, Zhang Bangchang sent someone to show his loyalty to Zhao Gou, and he was the one who sent him, which made him leave a good impression on Zhao Gou at the first time.After Jianyan crossed the south, Zhao Gou endured the rebellion of Miao and Liu and "searching the mountains and checking the sea". Zhu Shengfei and Lu Yihao, who accompanied him to suffer, also fell from their horses and lost their positions. After things are settled, Fan Zongyin will take over. At this time, Zhang Jun was still competing with Qu Duan in Daxibei, fighting with a lot of Wanyans... In contrast, Fan Zongyin's luck was simply the wrath of both humans and gods. Can such a person be bought? Therefore, after Fan Zongyin testified, the officialdom believed it, the people fell silent, and Zhao Gou was tempted.Even, Fan Zongyin's proof made the reputation of both Fan and Qin rise. The two were originally hostile. At this time, Fan Neng clarified the facts for Qin. It was a very noble and gentlemanly act. He has a pure heart!And this is the symbol of officialdom in the Southern Song Dynasty, something that would only happen in the most glorious period. For example, between Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Lu Yijian and others, although they disagree with each other's views, they can work together to share the country's worries. This is the magnanimity that ministers should have. It looks very lofty. To be honest, I was also very excited before, but after reading too many history books, I gradually tasted a little strange smell.Politics is politics, there is no taste, and things like "I don't agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" are all lies.Anyone who takes this seriously will surely die an ugly death. Just like the iron man Robespierre during the French Revolution.When the court sentenced him to death, he wanted to stand up and speak again and again, but was interrupted again and again. He didn't get any right to speak until he died, and he was suffocated to death. Specifically between Qin Hui and Fan Zongyin, why did Fan Yaoxie try to protect Qin Hui?It's not a relationship of interest, nor is it the mutual protection of spies, so is it the nobility, gentleman, purity, magnanimity mentioned above? It always feels so unreal, too fake. After thinking about it and looking at Qin Hui's life, an answer quietly surfaced.Would it be a spoiler to say it at this time?Will it reduce interest in reading? It should be, but I have to say that only after I have said it can I sort out a clear context in the mess, and let everyone know how Qin Hui stepped up to the altar of the number one scum of the Han nation step by step. Please note that Qin Hui's biggest trick - deception. This is a very common trick, which anyone who wants to do evil, or even do something, has.However, Qin Hui sublimated it to an unprecedented level.History will prove that he brought down and ruined every big man, no matter who they were.Even the brave and wise Yue Fei, the supreme Zhao Gou, Zhang Jun who is known as "the first to know people", or the fast-rising Fan Zongyin in front of him, were all deceived by him until they lost everything. It wasn't until after his death that they could take a little breather.However, he couldn't change what he had stipulated before his death. What is particularly heinous is that Qin Hui's tricks of deception are unsolvable.Many things related to him, even in modern times more than 800 years later, are still full of controversy.Even whether he himself is good or bad, whether he is a loyal minister for the sake of the country, or a shameless traitor, there are different voices, and people analyze it endlessly. If you deceive people to such an extent, what should you do? Remember his personality and watch what's happening right in front of you.After Fan Zongyin believed that he was a good man with an innocent background, he recommended him to Zhao Gou.This is the first meeting between Zhao and Qin.Wait a minute, these two surnames have special significance in Chinese history. They were linked together and frequently appeared in the later Qing Dynasty imperial palaces. Zhao, Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty; Qin, Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty.These two surnames were appointed by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty as the unified surname of the eunuchs in the palace because of these two talents, to remind the emperors to be careful about the people around them. Well, where do I start?It's not the fault of the surname itself. For this meeting, Qin Hui was very well prepared.He brought two very important news to Zhao Gou. First, the recent situation of Zhao Gou's parents. This is very important. History has always said that Zhao Gou was cold-blooded, which is not accurate.Zhao Gou is a complicated person. He has a cold side and a human side. He also misses his parents.History can prove that later, when the news of Zhao Ji's death spread to the south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Gou was heartbroken and furious. He immediately found the strongest general and gathered all his troops for the Northern Expedition, vowing to avenge his father. At this time, he asked a lot, and Qin Hui said a lot. These are rare first-hand information, and no one can provide him except Qin Hui.Because the conversation is all about family affection, the sense of intimacy produced is also different, which brings the distance between the two of them closer in an instant. Second, Qin Hui put forward a political point of view, the original words are "If you want the world to be safe, you must follow the south from the south, and the north from the north."This sentence is very learned, and it is very simple literally. It means that people in the south belong to the south, and people in the north belong to the north.It can only mean that.But in what time period? If the pre-Jingkang change is the standard, then Qin Hui is a staunch anti-Japanese faction who is determined to regain his homeland.Everyone went back where they came from. The Jurchens retreated to the north of Lugou Bridge, and the Song Dynasty people returned to Kaifeng. But what if it is based on the Jingkang change? Of course Qin Hui would not speak to the emperor in such a muddled manner.Before defining the North-South issue, he first talked with Zhao Gou about their views on the current situation.The central issue is what the Jurchens really want to do. There is no need to discuss this when "searching the mountains and checking the sea". Wanyan Zonghan and others have only one goal, which is to destroy the Zhao family, annex the entire Jiangnan, and push the territory of the Jin Empire to the southernmost end of the coastline. But after the two battles between Huang Tiandang and Jiankang, we have to talk about this matter.After Wanyan Zongbi, the youngest and most active, was severely beaten, the Jurchens launched a puppet dynasty—Liu Yu's "Qi" state, which served as a buffer between Song and Jin. What does this show?The Jurchens are not descendants of God of War, and they don't have the belief of "defeat or die".These poor people who rose up because of resistance, after digging down two unprecedentedly huge behemoths with rotten foundations in succession, encountered unprecedentedly strong resistance, and finally became rational and did not want to fight recklessly. Qin Hui reminded Zhao Gou that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it happens to be able to ask the Kingdom of Jin for peace. "South follows south, north follows north", if the status quo is maintained, Jin people will be satisfied and will agree. Zhao Gou hesitated, because he wanted peace.He had had enough of the miserable experiences of the past few years.He can feel his conscience and say that he has never thought about recovering Kaifeng or anything like that!But how to do it?He had already written a state-level peace letter to Jin Guo before, in which he even gave up his title of emperor and changed his name to "King Kang", but what he asked for was Jin Wushu's pursuit all over the world... At this time, he asked again And, who is the letter addressed to?how to write? Qin Hui pointed out a clear path.He said that according to his long-term and close observation in the north, Marshal Zuo Dujian Wan Yanchang of Jin Guo was a peace-loving person and had expressed his friendship to Zhao Gou many times.If you write to Wan Yanchang, things will be on the right track. Zhao Gou hesitated again.It's not that he doesn't believe it, but that there is a face problem here.The premise of political communication is equality of identity, he can beg for money and write letters to Wanyan Wu, no matter how humble it is, at least it is written by the emperor to the emperor; but Wanyan Chang is not even the top leader of the military of the Kingdom of Jin, if he suddenly writes Believe me, isn't it too disrespectful? This is a problem. Qin Hui gave another suggestion.He said that the letter should still be written as the emperor, after all, it was a major event between the two countries, and no one could make the decision except the emperor himself.As for the person who sent the letter, you can find a person with the same status as Wan Yanchang in the Southern Song Dynasty military.In this way, if the matter is successful, you can tell the world that the emperor has brought peace; , has nothing to do with anything. Zhao Gou's eyes lit up, this is indeed feasible, and there is really a person in his army who can do this. Liu Guangshi in the big yamen.Looking at his identity, Liu Guangshi was the first person to establish a festival after Jianyan went south, earlier than Wu Jie. Therefore, when the monk Yuan Dasheng and Wu Jie established festivals, they had to add a festival "because of military merits" Prefix for first person. Time passed, many things happened quickly, they flew around like an explosion in the chaotic world, and no one could tell them all, unless they looked at the journal.Therefore, only what is needed and what is screened, such as what Liu Guangshi did during this period of time. Liu Guangshi's nature was exposed. In my impression, this person is very well-behaved and smart, and he is very willing to be an obedient and enjoyable subordinate.If he wanted to have a nickname, it would be more appropriate to call him "Guaiguaihu". really?Quite the opposite.In the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was the most troublesome thing for the emperor and prime ministers.This can be vividly seen in a famous painting handed down from generation to generation, "The Picture Scroll of the Four Generals of ZTE in the Southern Song Dynasty".In that painting, Zhang Jun is dressed in a red robe, with a relaxed face, no longer the embarrassment and depression of his early years.Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were dressed in black robes with gloomy expressions, while the two with the best records were the most low-key. Look at Liu Guangshi in the big yamen, he is dressed in a green and brown robe, his eyes are raised, his eyebrows are raised, and his toes are arrogant.The other three people leaned slightly, clasped their hands in front of their chests, and looked respectful.He was the only one with his hands in his belt, his chest up and his head up, majestic. This is so expressive.In the past few years, he has lived like this.Zhao Gou ordered him to be Du Chong's subordinate. He made a list, saying that Du Chong had six problems that annoyed him, so he would not go.When Miao and Liu rebelled, Zhang Jun ordered him to send troops. He snorted and said, "Who are you, why should I listen to you?" He didn't start until the veteran minister Lu Yihao came forward.Jin Wushu chased and killed Zhao Gou, and Empress Dowager Meng fled to Nanchang with the entire harem.Zhao Gou sent him to stop the Jin army in Jiangzhou. This old man actually ran all the way. After arriving in Jiangzhou, he immediately started drinking. He didn't know that the Jin army was crossing the river.When the Jin army arrived, he fled immediately.The Empress Dowager Meng managed to escape the enemy's palm by herself.Chuzhou was besieged for a hundred days. Zhao Gou personally wrote five imperial decrees asking him to rescue him, but he refused to go.Zhang Jun transferred him to suppress the bandits. He said that there were still bandits around him, and he would help after the suppression was over.All these kinds, and so on.The strange thing is, every time he is disobedient, what he gets in return is—an official promotion. For no other reason, he has soldiers! At this time, Zhao Gou thought and thought, and felt that Liu Guangshi could still order Liu Guangshi to write a letter, so he explained the task clearly.This time, Da Ya Nei took Zhao Gou's letter into an envelope to save face, and wrote his name on the outside, and sent five people, each with one copy, to ensure that the letter would break through the war zone and be delivered to Wan Yanchang smoothly. The letter was sent out, and the Southern Song Dynasty began to wait.Because of this letter, as well as Qin Hui's previous hardships in the north and his steadfastness in Jingkang, the Song Dynasty named Qin Hui the Minister of Rites.Four months later, in February of the first year of Song Shaoxing (AD 1131), Qin Hui was promoted to be a political adviser. He became the deputy prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. Qin Hui was not satisfied with the lightning-like promotion.He carefully suppressed himself, making the emperor happy and the prime minister satisfied every moment.At the same time, he carefully looked for further opportunities, because what he wanted to do was beyond the reach of a deputy prime minister. However, this is easier said than done. Fan Zongyin is an out-and-out evildoer in the officialdom, he lacks nothing in knowledge, luck, and courage.In order to show his perfect image, he even has conscience and righteous indignation.How rare it is. These qualities allowed Fan Zongyin to do three things.First, he abolished the Division of Operations and Operations and restored the ancestral system of the Privy Council leading soldiers.This allowed the military order of the Song Dynasty to quickly recover.In contrast, even though the military system of the Privy Council has various flaws, it is much more perfect than the provisional camp division.Moreover, this also shows that Fan Zongyin was overwhelmed with anger. He did not take the opportunity to take the military power under the name of the prime minister to greatly increase his real power, but took the initiative to separate. This is a rare and precious spirit of serving the country. Second, he set up an appeasement envoy.This establishment has no fixed members, and there is no rigid standard for the qualifications of members.As long as you have the strength, go to the junction of Jin and Qi, and take root at the junction of Song and Qi, put down robbers and fight against gold, and add chaos to the aliens, then you are the pacifier. This was urgently needed at the time.The military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was limited, and it was still impossible to defend the whole territory. Therefore, it was necessary to decentralize power, let the civilians or some soldiers go to the ever-changing war zone to organize their own troops, raise their own food and pay, and fight on their own.This is also a no-brainer.Of course, there are big risks in doing so. One is good and bad.Some people can really fight a bloody battle with the Jin army, protect the environment and the people, and become the screen of the country; some people take the opportunity to harm one side and become robbers with status.Another is danger. "Self-organized troops, self-raised food and wages, and each fights independently" seems very convenient, but there may be a phenomenon of separatist regimes, and if it continues to develop, there will be people with real power like the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty. But that's something for later, and it's better to find a way to stop it in the future than for foreigners to cross the river at will. The first two incidents made Fan Zongyin famous.What's worse, he did the third thing. The third matter involves too many aspects and is so significant that it dominates the spiritual core of the entire Southern Song Dynasty - liquidation.The Northern Song Dynasty perished, and most people in the Song Dynasty have been pondering a question. How did such a huge and glorious country suddenly collapse?It is very one-sided to simply attribute it to the Jurchens' aggression.People in the Song Dynasty thought a lot, and they have been analyzing where the problem lies. This kind of retrospective reflection continued, and gradually formed the mainstream consciousness of the Southern Song Dynasty.At this time, Fan Zongyin not only gave his own answer, but also gave a solution to the problem. He was an administrative official, and he attributed the problem to the wrong decision of the government, which was caused by Song Huizong Zhao Ji's unreasonable playing of cards and continuous excessive rewards.In modern terms, it means that officials are openly corrupt. Distributing salaries and bonuses at will disrupts all the rules of the game.There is only one way to correct all this, and that is to thoroughly investigate all the previous excessive rewards and recover them one by one. The above is Fan Zongyin's version of how the Northern Song Dynasty was subjugated and the Southern Song Dynasty was reborn.This should be the first discussion and actual correction on this issue after the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty.After that, a whole set of theories emerged, improved, and integrated, and finally formed a consistent academic school of the Chinese nation from the Southern Song Dynasty to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the rise of the Qing Dynasty, and the beginning of the Republic of China. A sage who pointed out the sky and acted as a behavioral and spiritual policeman for human beings also appeared. It's a bit far away, let's talk about Fan Zongyin.As soon as the third thing he did came out, he immediately blew up the officialdom.What is the so-called "excessive reward"?Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and other six thieves must be. Then, like He Li, Li Gang, Qin Hui, and even Fan Zongyin himself, they were promoted suddenly and suddenly became high positions! Do you want to fight back to the original shape one by one? Fan Zongyin paid the price for his idealistic reckoning.He has offended so many people that no one dares to stand with him.In such a world, almost everyone is more or less unclean. The most embarrassing thing is that he took Song Huizong to the dock. The "excessive rewards" were all rewarded by Zhao Ji. Those who accept them are guilty. Does it matter who they give out? This is forcing Zhao Gou to sentence his father who suffered in the north... Zhao Gou is annoyed, the whole officialdom is angry, and Fan Zongyin is kicked out. Fan Zongyin was abandoned by the entire officialdom.He was demoted to Wenzhou first, and then to Linhai. He was depressed and died of illness at the age of thirty-seven.In retrospect, he just rose too fast, regarded the officialdom as a plaything, regarded officials as worthless, and was finally thrown out into the wilderness by the officialdom. Qin Hui has benefited greatly from this matter. He first followed the big leader closely, and waved the flag for Fan Zongyin.After that, seeing that the limelight was not right, he quickly hid aside and drew a clear line with it.After that, he followed the public opinion and fought back, becoming the person who worked hardest to suppress Fan Zongyin. Afterwards, those who worked the hardest naturally got the biggest prizes, and the vacated position of Prime Minister may be filled by Deputy Prime Minister Qin no matter how you look at it.Qin Hui is looking forward to it eagerly, and the officialdom is no stranger to it.In the past few years, Zhao Gou's prime ministers have changed like a revolving door, and many people who are not favored are suddenly promoted. Then, why can't Qin Hui? Qin Hui's qualifications and prestige are no worse than those in front of him. However, Zhao Gou seemed to smell something. This young man is not like before. After experiencing life and death crisis, his ability to survive has evolved, and no one can easily gain trust from him. He clearly remembered that the reason why Qin Hui was appointed as the deputy prime minister at the beginning was because this person said that he could bring peace, but the letter he wrote had not yet been answered.This alone made him hold onto the seal tightly and refused to hand it over. Slowly, gossip spread in the official circles, saying that the former prime minister, Lu Yihao, wanted to be reinstated.As soon as Qin Hui heard this, he became anxious, and immediately realized the problem in his mind. His value was not enough to tempt the emperor.That's right, after sending out the peace appeal letter, Wan Yanchang didn't reply at all, which made it unbearable for anyone. Qin Hui kept on doing nothing, and made a bigger promise.He publicly claimed that he has a second strategy, which can "sensate the world".The fire of gossip in the officialdom suddenly blazed, and everyone gathered together and asked him: "What trick did you come up with?" Qin Hui shook his head, saying it was useless, now that there is no prime minister, the functions of government agencies have been frozen, and nothing can be done, so talking is meaningless. Everyone understood and dispersed. Deputy Prime Minister Qin is up for grabs. Using these two strategies to change the prime minister's position... Good idea, good calculation. Not long after, Lu Yihao took office and became prime minister again, while Qin Hui was still a subordinate. The prime minister's dream was shattered, but Qin Hui was very excited. He seemed to be sincerely happy for Lu Yihao.Senior Lu is a hero in countering the rebellion, he was the one who established the Southern Song Dynasty and accompanied the emperor to the mountains and seas, so he deserves any kind of honor. He even proposed to give Lu Yihao a higher honor. Honor comes from his position. He wants Lu Yihao to become the most powerful prime minister in the history of the Song Dynasty, go to the front line to monopolize military power, and take full responsibility for the safety of the Song Dynasty.In other words, let Prime Minister Lu annex the Privy Council.As for himself, he nestled in the small imperial court at the back, dealing with countless, annoying, and endless small affairs every day, and he was quite good at logistics for Lu Shou. As soon as this theory came out, the government and the public rejoiced.Qin Hui is so virtuous, kind, and considerate.This kind of division of labor is obviously the same as "the man dominates the outside and the woman dominates the inside". It is really commendable to reduce yourself to this level! Zhao Gou was also very relieved that his prime minister had changed more than ten times, and even Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, who had the best relationship, were not in this position.Qin Hui is really a person who forgets his selfishness for the public good, what a sincere person! Zhao Gou issued an order to approve, and the original words were: "...Yihao reorganized the army, while Hinoki handled common affairs, such as the division of Wen Zhong and Fan Li." This analogy is very appropriate. , which is similar to the situation and ideals of the Song Dynasty at this time. The happiest person was Lu Yihao.This prime minister is a man who dared to confront the guards of the imperial camp in a state of rage, and would slash each other with a knife at every turn.Going to the front line to stay with the soldiers, defending the home and the country, and making decisions about safety and security, this is what he should do. So Prime Minister Lu set off with enthusiasm. After watching him go away, Deputy Prime Minister Qin announced the establishment of a small yamen called "Xiuzheng Bureau".From then on, no matter how big or small, they were handed over to the new unit, and the people in the bureau made decisions. The only condition for entering this bureau is to listen to the director Qin Hui.After a long period of war and chaos, the Southern Song Dynasty officialdom, who was in a state of liquidation thinking, instantly understood what was going on.Qin Hui's revision of the political bureau is the same as Cai Jing's lecture department back then. Seizing power is normal, but Qin Hui's eating is too ugly.This is where it is, and I want to compare it with Cai Xianggong.After more than 20 years of hardships, Cai Jing climbed up step by step with the emperor's like-mindedness, and became a conference secretary to control the overall situation. You, Qin Hui, have only been back for less than a year, so why are you alone? The official circles were collectively angry, and while resisting, they said, "The prime minister is in control of everything, so why did it happen?"; while sending people to the Yangtze River to inform Lu Yihao, saying that he was cheated by Qin Hui. When Lu Yihao heard this, he was very excited. This man did not refuse any challenge, and returned to Lin'an after some time, and the matter was completed.Isn't it just a little Qin Hui, he is not in the mood to fall into the sea of ​​Wenshanhui because of this person.He recommended a big man who is very good at civil war, and let this person take care of Qin Hui. Zhu Shengfei. This former prime minister played Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan to death in an extremely dangerous environment. His political fighting skills are proficient and capable. With him as the deputy prime minister, Qin Hui is destined to be suppressed to death under the same authority. . The fact is the same, Qin Hui panicked, he decided to implement the two "sensational world" tricks, and let it save everything.The original text of these two ingenious strategies is very long-winded, but simply summed up, they are actually one, which is an extension of "Southers come from the south, and northerners come from the north". Qin Hui advocated that the people who were originally from the south of the Yangtze River have been living in the south of the Yangtze River, don’t think about returning to the Central Plains, it’s nothing to you; the people from the north, such as the people from the original Hedong, Hebei, Henan, and Jianghuai regions, Those who fled to the south of the Yangtze River must go back to the north, that is, to return to the governance area of ​​the Jin people, and become a qualified slave. In this way, the Kingdom of Jin will be satisfied, the war will subside, and the Song Dynasty will be stable. After these announcements, it indeed caused a sensation in the world, and Qin Hui's reputation was even louder than that of Fan Zongyin before.Fan Zongyin is just doing official liquidation and removing some people's privileges and benefits; Qin Hui wants to send those who have escaped back to the jaws of aliens! The crowd was so angry that they wished they could swallow him alive. Only Zhao Gou remained silent, not because he was insane, but because he was waiting for news.In order to increase his political leverage, Qin Hui once again sent someone to deliver a letter to Wan Yanchang.Zhao Gou has to wait for the reply and see what the result is before making a decision. After waiting for a long time, nothing came to light, and there was no reply.It wasn't until this time that Zhao Gou was really angry, and publicly reprimanded: "Hinoki said that people from the south will return to the south, people from the north will return to the north, and people from the north will return home in peace!" Could it be that the emperor should also go back to the north as a prisoner of war slave? At this point, Qin Hui finally despaired.The emperor treated him like this, and his last straw floated away.In the subsequent decision, he saw Zhao Gou's political brutality. The young Zhao Gou has really evolved. He is a person who dares to attack the officialdom. In the past few years, the prime ministers have been changing like a revolving lantern, which is a manifestation. No one can hold real power in his court.At this time, his decision to deal with Qin Hui was even more clear-cut.He demoted Qin Hui's official position to the end, and hung up a notice in a conspicuous part of the court—— Qin Hui will never be reused. This is tantamount to completely depriving Qin Hui of his political power for life.Qin Hui failed, no matter how heavy the historical responsibility he shouldered, what kind of miraculous posture he used to pass through the many passes, and come back shiningly, at this moment, he was drawn to a halt. How did this happen?传说中,秦相和高宗是一对不离不弃、同进同退,任何时刻都保持着伟大友谊的好同志啊,高宗怎么会这样绝情? 这个原因,我考虑了很久。某天,我灵机一动,终于猜到了。这两人的关系,乃至他们各自的心灵变化,都可以用“婚姻”来比喻。 经历过婚姻的人都知道,男女之间的关系总是会变化的,一个男人在婚前事业有成、相貌英俊,追求他的女人很多,于是,他高高在上,在与妻子的关系里处于主导地位。 但是,如果他婚后还想这样,就不大可能了。如果女方的事业也成功了,哪怕是在他的帮助下成功的,那么,她在婚姻中的地位也会随之改变。退一步说,她没有事业,只是个家庭妇女,也会随着时间的推移,不由自主地把自己摆到与丈夫平等的地位上。 总之,一切都在变化中。这时,在赵构眼里,秦桧只是一条任他呼来唤去的狗,觉得可用,扔块骨头;觉得讨厌,一脚踢开。 这是开始,可别想着永远这样。 回头说一下这次秦桧倒台的具体原因。仔细分析有两点。一个是由他本身素质决定的。这时,他的骗术还很初级,属于集中精力只骗一时的阶段。 无论是面对赵构,还是面对吕颐浩,他都摆出了一副可爱的模样,一边做着大公无私的事,一边搞小动作。不幸的是,官场是个菜市场,有什么交易,谁和谁干了什么,大家一目了然。 于是乎,秦桧悲剧了。当大家都知道了他的面目、他的手段之后,他还怎么玩呢?所以,这时的他只是个初级骗子,让人一时上当,之后却被人一脚踢倒。 初级的、没根基、没力量的小骗子。 后来就不同了。秦相也会进化,他东山再起之后,进化到了一个可怕的程度。他会摆明着骗,大摇大摆地骗,带着强大理念、让世人受骗之后还在琢磨要不要报以欢呼地去骗! 一切都在变化中。 这也是秦桧这一次失败的另一个原因。相比之下,这个比上一个还要致命。他回归之后迅速和宋朝上层达成一致,写信给完颜昌寻求和平。可是一连两封信,啥回音也没有,这和他的原计划大不相同,甚至是他之前不可想象的! 秦桧最乐观的估计是,一个因为特殊政治需要被金国放回来的囚徒,此人对女真人和汉人的利益同等重要;最恶劣的分析是,一个出卖了自己的人格,甚至因为在北方受到严重摧残,导致心理变态,回到汉人区域之后,仍旧无法克制为施暴者忠心服务的受虐狂。 他绝对没办法杀看守,夺船只,千里冲关夺隘,回归宋朝。 所以,他和金国必有前约,他写信给完颜昌,绝对不应该收获沉默。偏偏是金国方面出了问题,让他在宋朝方面搞得像空手套白狼一样,没品没信誉,换谁都会开除他。 可以想象,当秦桧灰溜溜地走出南宋朝廷时,他心里的羞耻难堪远远没有纳闷多,他实在想不通,金国到底出什么事了,还是信使全死在半路上了,让亲爱的、充满了人道主义精神的完颜昌没有收到“和平的橄榄枝”? 他的确是想不到,这时,金国的上层乱到了什么程度。
