Chapter 2057 Unfounded Storm Pavilion [Free]

Everyone knows that Yue Fei died under the three words "false accusation", as if Yue Fei was executed without any guilt.

In fact, if you think about it a little, you will know that if you want to kill a general of Yue Fei's level, it is impossible to do it with just three false accusations. There must be at least a dozen capital crimes. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the world and people will lose their morale.

Therefore, how to frame Yue Fei became the biggest problem. However, the biggest crime that Qin Hui's people could find for Yue Fei was various disobediences to the imperial court's orders, or failure to defend some cities according to the imperial court's wishes, etc. These were all military mistakes.

These mistakes could be punishable by death, but they are not enough to kill a general who has made great contributions.

If one wants to execute Yue Fei with justification, there is actually only one crime, and that is Yue Fei's treason!
But God has mercy on him. Yue Fei is the most loyal minister in the world. It is impossible to find any evidence of Yue Fei's treason. Moreover, even if some evidence is fabricated, no one in the world will believe it.

Only when Yue Fei's own subordinates came forward to testify that Yue Fei had thoughts and actions of rebellion when he was commanding the troops could the charges be proven.

So, under the instruction of Qin Hui, Zhang Jun took advantage of the internal conflicts of Yue Fei's army and forced the commander-in-chief Wang Gui to come forward to frame and testify against Yue Fei. Wang Gui submitted. Other generals of Yue Fei's army also had to submit memorials to prove that Wang Gui was telling the truth and that Yue Fei did want to rebel.

Under the threat of their entire family's lives and the influence of various conflicts within Yue Fei's army in the past, almost all of his subordinates submitted memorials to testify against Yue Fei. Only Zhang Xian would rather die than obey. So Qin Hui bribed Wang Jun, the deputy commander of Zhang Xian's army, to make him the first to accuse Zhang Xian of "rebellion."

So everything was ready, all the evidence was in place, and Yue Fei, who had been living in Jiangzhou for only a few days, received an order to return to Lin'an.

Yue Fei thought that Zhao Gou had changed his mind, so he ran back excitedly. However, Qin Hui sent the Palace Commander-in-Chief Yang Yi Zhong to secretly arrest Yue Fei and put him in the Dali Temple Prison. Later, Yue Fei's eldest son Yue Yun was also imprisoned.

Next, they tortured Yue Fei in various ways in an attempt to make him confess his crimes, but Yue Fei was a man of such a low standard that he naturally refused to admit a single word. So even though the court announced Yue Fei's crimes in the end, they were all confessions from witnesses. There was no confession from Yue Fei himself or any real evidence of his crimes.

Later, Han Shizhong, who was already unemployed, could no longer bear it and took the initiative to find Qin Hui to ask what concrete evidence there was to prove Yue Fei's rebellion. Qin Hui then said the classic sentence in history: "Although the letter between Fei Ziyun and Zhang Xian is unclear, the matter is not necessary."

Translated, it means "Although there are still some unclear points in the rebellious letter between Yue Fei's son Yue Yun and Zhang Xian, and the evidence is not very sufficient, this matter probably exists!"

In response, Han Shizhong angrily said: "Sir, how can the world be convinced by the three words 'no need to be'?"

However, this statement was useless. Finally, on January 1142, 1, Wanqi Xie and others submitted a petition through Qin Hui, proposing that Yue Fei be beheaded, Zhang Xian be hanged, and Yue Yun be sentenced to imprisonment. Song Gaozong Zhao Gou replied on the same day: "Yue Fei is specially granted death. Zhang Xian and Yue Yun will be executed according to military law. Yang Yizhong will be ordered to supervise the execution, and more soldiers will be sent to guard them." So far, Yue Fei died in the Dali Temple, his son Yue Yun and loyal general Zhang Xian were beheaded, and Yue Fei left only eight last words on his confession: "The sky is clear, the sky is clear!"

It is worth mentioning that in the memory of later generations, Yue Fei seems to have died in Fengbo Pavilion, but this is not the case. Fengbo Pavilion was actually interpreted in Yuan Dynasty miscellaneous songs, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty novels that the plot of Yue Fei's death in Fengbo Pavilion appeared, but in fact it was fictional.

Fengbo Pavilion is a pavilion in the Dali Temple prison. At that time, the Dali Temple was originally a villa of a wealthy family in Jiangnan. Later, it was requisitioned to become the office of the Dali Temple. This pavilion became a resting place for many public officials in the Dali Temple, not a place of execution. Since ancient times, a pavilion has never been used as an execution ground. How disgusting must the people in the Dali Temple be to use a daily resting place to kill people?
According to historical records, Yue Fei actually died from the punishment of drinking poison (violently hitting the chest and ribs). There are also claims that he died from drinking poison or taking poison. However, Zhao Gou's reply was to grant him death, which mostly meant hanging or taking poison. Threatening was rare. As for the truth, you can figure it out for yourself.

Another widely circulated fallacy is that the cause of Yue Fei's death was actually because he shouted to welcome back the two saints, that is, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, father and son, which aroused Zhao Gou's murderous intention.

Regarding this point, Yue Fei did shout out this slogan in the early days, especially when he was under Zong Ze, and he did say many times that he wanted to welcome back the two saints. But when Yue Fei entered Jiangnan and began to train the Yue Family Army in Jiangnan, he never mentioned the slogan of welcoming back the two saints again, but only said that he wanted to return to the old capital.

In fact, Yue Fei also wrote a very disgusting memorial to Zhao Gou, which was full of his loyalty and admiration for Zhao Gou. He even praised Zhao Gou as a revival leader like Liu Xiu, who wanted to rebuild the Song Dynasty and make it great again.

And even if the two saints were really welcomed back, with Zhao Gou's merits, he would not have to worry about these two people taking his throne again, and these two people would not compete with Zhao Gou for the throne while he was alive.

Because Zhao Gou had no children, he could no longer have sexual intercourse and had no children after being frightened into paralysis by the Jin soldiers. So if the Second Saint really came back, Zhao Gou would most likely adopt one of Song Qinzong's sons as his own legitimate son to inherit the throne, and Song Qinzong could just lie down and become the emperor. So even if the Second Saint really came back, it would not be a big deal. Instead, it would enhance Zhao Gou's prestige.

Closer to home.

It is precisely because so many political struggles of intrigue and deception took place between the time when Yue Fei was recalled by the twelve golden medals and when Yue Fei died in the Dali Temple, mixed with Qin Hui's calculations, the peace talks of the Jin Kingdom, the reactions of many forces, etc., and because the fake Liu Xu wrote in great detail, it naturally took another ten years to write in one go.

Up to now, Yue Fei has been imprisoned in the Dali Temple. In another 4 months, the story will reach the point where Yue Fei is killed.

Although Liu Xu could already imagine what kind of emotions all the readers would burst out with the real death of Yue Fei in four months, and how much world power of the twenty-fifth level he would be able to gain by then.

But in fact, from this moment on, the world power in Liu Xu's body has begun to surge.
