Chapter 16 The Emperor's Heart
When I heard this, my expression became more and more confused.
As we all know, in all the records, Yue Wumu was a loyal general who led troops to fight against the Jin Dynasty. Although he held heavy troops, he never had any intention of becoming a king.
Since that's the case, why would Ling Xuan think that for Emperor Gaozong of Song, Yue Fei's existence was actually a double-edged sword?
What did the famous general Yue Fei and Yue Wumu do to make Emperor Gaozong of Song feel dangerous?
"As we all know, the birth of the Southern Song Dynasty was actually due to the Jingkang Incident. I believe everyone should have some understanding of this matter."
Ling Xuan is not like Chunting. After seeing my doubts, he did not make too many secrets, but directly spoke up to guide me in a temptation manner.
"After the Jingkang Incident, the two emperors Hui and Qin were captured and the Northern Song Dynasty was declared destroyed. Because of this, Zhao Gou had the opportunity to ascend the throne to Yingtian Prefecture and became the founding lord of the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of Song."
"As we all know, the Jin people did not kill Hui and the two emperors Qin. Although they were humiliated along the way, they were saved by the Jin people in the end. Unfortunately, although their lives are safe, they were imprisoned and trapped in a place where there is no sunshine. They hope to return to the Central Plains every day."
"Han Chuan, think about the records in historical materials. In addition to leading the Yue family army to fight south and north, what he wanted to do was to welcome the captured Hui and Qin emperors. Although such behavior was a loyal act to the Southern Song Dynasty, it invisibly touched the bottom line of Emperor Gaozong of Song."
Hearing this, I seemed to vaguely understand the suggestion in Ling Xuan's words.
The so-called Jingkang Incident, also known as the Jingkang Incident, was a great shame for the Song Dynasty. During the Jingkang period, the Jin soldiers went south in two directions, and not only captured the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo Bianliang, but also abducted the two emperors Hui and Qin, as well as a large number of Zhao royal families, concubines in the harem, and the public and private savings of the Northern Song Dynasty were empty, and they were immediately declared to be destroyed.
It was under such circumstances that Zhao Gou ascended the throne and established the Southern Song Dynasty, becoming the founding lord of the Southern Song Dynasty, which later generations called the founding lord of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong.
It is not difficult to find after reading historical materials that Zhao Gou appointed Yue Fei and Han Shizhong and other generals of the war-sected generals to fight against the Jin army, but on the other hand, he valued Wang Lun, Qin Hui and others who were the peace-sected faction, blindly sought peace, and finally even executed Yue Fei and dismissed Li Gang, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and other ministers of the war-sected faction.
It seems unreasonable, but after Ling Xuan's prompt, after thinking about it for a moment, I found that Zhao Gou was definitely not bewitched. The reason why he did this was actually due to his concerns and fears.
Although Zhao Gou was the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is undeniable that in addition to this identity, he was also the son of Song Huizong Zhao Ji and the younger brother of Song Qinzong Zhao Huan.
Zhao Gou's father and brother are both emperors. If he really welcomes the two emperors Hui and Qin back, how can he continue this hard-earned throne when facing his father and his elder brother?
Poor beauty always has little life, and is the most ruthless imperial family. Most of those who can become emperors have already been ruthless. So when Zhao Gou discovered that when he welcomed the two emperors Hui and Qin, perhaps it was his own abdication, how could he tolerate such a thing happening?
Therefore, Zhao Gou could only try every means to delay the progress of this matter. As long as the two emperors Hui and Qin were not welcomed for one day, he would still be the founding king of the Southern Song Dynasty, with legitimate reputation and no one questioned it.
But at this moment, a general who did not understand the worldly principles and the way of his subjects appeared.
This general is a natural star, and his army is also a famous elite soldier in the world. However, despite this, what he had to do made Zhao Gou unable to rise to a certain degree of joy no matter what.
This general is Yue Fei and Yue Pengju.
What Yue Fei wanted to do was to welcome the abducted Hui and Qin emperors.
Indeed, Yue Fei was a loyal minister of the world. He was good at fighting and was brave and brave. He led his army to resist the invasion of the Jin army and protected the stormy regime of the Southern Song Dynasty.
But he forgot one sentence.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that being with a king is like a tiger. As a subject, Yue Fei touched Zhao Gou's bottom line but did not know that unless he proclaimed himself as a king, there would be no way to live.
But there is no doubt that Yue Fei is a loyal minister of heaven and cannot do anything to become a king. As long as he is still a minister of Zhao Gou, even if he has great skills, he will definitely not be able to escape the disaster of killing.
Because he touched Zhao Gou's bottom line.
Yue Fei thought that taking back the two Emperors Hui and Qin would wash away the shame of the Jingkang disaster, but he did not consider whether this idea would be approved by the emperor of the dynasty?
As long as the two emperors Hui and Qin were welcomed back, Zhao Gou had no reason to sit on the throne with justification, so before he knew it, Yue Fei had already touched the bottom line that the king could not tolerate.
But although Zhao Gou had murderous intentions towards Yue Fei, he could not do it himself.
Because everyone in the world knows that Yue Fei is brave and good at fighting, leading the Yue family army to resist the invasion of the Jin soldiers and defend the country. If Zhao Gou personally takes action to kill Yue Fei, it will lead to the loss of the people and chaos in the world. Generals like Han Shizhong will naturally feel discouraged.
With the lessons of the Jingkang Incident, Zhao Gou naturally did not dare to make such a big mistake. Even though he had already become determined to kill Yue Fei, he still needed a scapegoat to complete the matter on his behalf, so as to block the world's wide mouths.
And the best candidate to replace him was Qin Hui.
There is no doubt that Qin Hui's actions prove that he is a traitor, but for this matter, he was indeed wronged.
The reason for such inference is that from princes and ministers to ordinary people, everyone knows in their hearts that Yue Fei and his Yue family army are the most reliable barriers for the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against the invasion of the Jin army.
Under such a premise, even if Qin Hui really wants to frame Yue Fei, as long as Zhao Gou, as a king, believes in Yue Fei's innocence, Qin Hui will never be able to successfully frame him.
But the facts tell us that within one day, Yue Fei actually received twelve gold medals that ordered him to return to the court, which made him sigh, and it was a pity that ten years of hard work had failed in one day.
There is no doubt that Qin Hui did not have such great power. The reason why Yue Fei won twelve gold medals in a row and ended up in the unjust death and Fengbo Pavilion was obviously Zhao Gou was intentional.
From this perspective, Yue Fei is still a loyal minister, but what he is loyal to is the people of the world, the imperial court of the Song Dynasty, and is definitely not Zhao Gou alone.
Therefore, even if everyone in the world believes that Yue Fei is a loyal minister, in Zhao Gou's eyes, his perception is completely opposite.
