In October of the same year, Yue Fei recklessly raised the issue of establishing a reserve to Song Gaozong. The relationship between the two monarchs and ministers who had just been repaired suddenly became deeper. It is no exaggeration to say that what Song Gaozong said before, "The only one who breaks my law is the sword ear" is just a warning, but this time it is completely wrong. up.Song Gaozong said with a gloomy face: "Although you are loyal, you still hold a heavy army outside. This is not what you should have foreseen." Yue Fei's face turned ashen, and he retreated in panic.You said it seriously, and the big leader turned his face.I am most afraid of thinking about things blindly, and once I think about it, it will become serious to the point of being out of control.

Let's briefly understand Song Gaozong's experience first, and you will know how serious a mistake Yue Fei suggested to establish a reserve.The throne had nothing to do with King Kang Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou ranked ninth among his brothers. His biological mother, Concubine Wei Xian, had no family background, and was a lonely child in the inner courtyard of the palace.The siege of Kaifeng by the Jin army gave Zhao Gou the opportunity to appear on the screen, and Zhao Gou went to the Jinying as a hostage.Before leaving, Kang Wang, who was not popular at first, suddenly became a great savior. Song Huizong acted generously for him. In fact, Zhao Gou felt bad, and no one knew whether he would come back alive.Zhao Gou's calm performance in Jin Ying made Jin Jun suspect that he was not a prince, so he sent him back.

When the Jin army besieged the capital for the second time, they asked Kang Wang to come as a hostage by name. They had already discovered that Kang Wang was a figure in the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties.When he reached Xiangzhou, he was stopped by Zongze. Just when the Jin army broke through Kaifeng, Zhao Gou was temporarily appointed as the Marshal of Hebei Bingma, and called on the whole country to raise troops to serve as king.As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well, and his throne lacks legitimacy.Yue Fei's slogans "restore the Central Plains" and "welcome the two saints and return to the dynasty" invisibly contradicted the emperor's legitimacy.

If the "Second Sage" really came back, where would Song Gaozong put it?This was Song Gaozong's heart disease. Before his death, Wan Yan Zongbi told the leaders of the Kingdom of Jin that we still have a hole card, and Zhao Gou will show it if he dares to make the Northern Expedition.The hole card is Song Qinzong Zhao Huan.Of course, Yue Fei's two slogans can be regarded as a propaganda method for the cohesion of the army, and there is no need to take them seriously. "Restoring the Central Plains" is a strategic goal, and it can be achieved in actual conditions; "Welcoming the Second Saint and Returning the Court" is the ultimate goal, which may not be successful.

After several years of fleeing, the international environment and domestic political situation of the Southern Song Dynasty were in chaos.Song Gaozong was only twenty years old when he inherited the throne, and what he faced was an out-and-out mess.When it comes to him, there are no good words, such as being fatuous and incompetent, losing power and humiliating the country, etc. "Song History" spoke highly of Zhao Gou, the master of ZTE.When a government is labeled as a government-in-exile, if it can survive, the national luck is usually very short-lived.For example, after the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Rui from the south of the Yangtze River established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the country was turbulent for more than a hundred years.The Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, and Yelu Dashi led the remnants to Central Asia to establish the Xiliao regime, which lasted for more than 80 years.Li Zicheng destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and the clan in exile established a small Nanming court, which lasted only eighteen years.Under the same situation, Zhao Jian established the Southern Song Dynasty's south of An'an for 152 years. This situation is only in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The mess Song Gaozong faced was unimaginable, with the oppression of the Jin Kingdom outside, the internal political instability, frequent civil uprisings, and playing tricks with a bunch of old officials.In the third year of the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Miao-Liu Mutiny broke out. In the name of "the side of the Qing emperor", Wang Yuan, the favorite minister of Song Gaozong, was killed, and he was forced to abdicate the throne to Prince Zhao.The Miao Liu mutiny did not last long, and was settled by Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and other generals.From then on, Song Gaozong's heart fell into a shadow, and he never believed in generals again.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty did not believe that military generals had innate genes. Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was an excellent military general who conquered the world of orphans and widowed mothers.After drinking and releasing military power, the complex of distrust of generals has been passed down from generation to generation.It was even more severe when it came to Song Gaozong. He was deposed by the generals, and he was almost deposed.So his complex towards Yue Fei has always been one of love, hate and distrust. Then again, which big leader in the officialdom absolutely trusts the "second in command"?It's too late to beware!

During the mutiny, Song Gaozong's three-year-old son died of fright, and he has no heirs since then.When Yue Fei proposed to establish a reserve, he touched the biggest taboo of Song Gaozong and stepped into the biggest forbidden zone of the "second in command".Taboo is the last thing a person wants to touch, it may be a sentence, an event or a person, etc.Even the leader's most taboo is not clear, how did the "second in command" do it?Obviously driving himself to death.Touching the taboos of ordinary people will offend him at best, but touching the taboos of big leaders will startle him every step of the way.

"Second in command", a person in a deputy position in a team or political system, has a very delicate and special position.Ancient China was ruled by an autocratic monarchy. In this official atmosphere, there was only one big leader, but there were many "second in command".The most difficult thing in the world is getting along with others, especially in the officialdom where various interests are intertwined.Needless to say, the "second-in-command" has rules and regulations to abide by, at least he should know where his forbidden zone is, so as to avoid repairing and being repaired.Once the scope of the restricted zone is clarified, the other so-called "rules for being the second-in-command official" are self-evident.If the "second in command" doesn't know where the restricted area is, they can't afford to be hurt.

In fact, when Yue Fei said these words, Song Gaozong had already launched a murderous plan.First of all, it is said that Yue Fei violated the taboo of the leadership. The military general who led the army abroad persuaded the emperor to establish a crown prince. Wasn't he trying to usurp the throne?Secondly, Yue Fei interfered in the emperor's housework.There was an incident of Taizu usurping the throne in his ancestors. Song Gaozong himself had experienced a mutiny, and he did not have the slightest trust in many generals. Yue Fei was the most stubborn among the many "second in command".Interfering in the emperor's housework once again entered the restricted area. Yue Fei's words killed two birds with one stone. He stepped into two restricted areas at the same time.There is nothing wrong with being loyal to the emperor, the fault lies in the way of loyalty to the emperor.Whether it is welcoming the "second sage" and returning to court, threatening to resign, or proposing to establish a reserve, the area behind many "second in command" restricted areas is the real restricted area for the "second in command".

The reason why Song Gaozong killed Yue Fei was that Yue Fei would not listen to fiddling, and held military power, threatening the emperor's status and life. It was too dangerous for such a deputy who threatened the leadership to stay by his side.In the end, Yue Fei staged a classic tragedy of the "second in command" under the combined effects of many factors such as the Song and Jin Dynasties, internal struggles, the emperor's taboo, and his own reasons. There is a saying in "Luo Zhi Jing·Detecting Traitors" that may be worth thinking about on Yue Fei's upper body--traitors do not invite themselves, loyalty does not defend themselves;
