The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 420: An Eternal Injustice - Serving the Country with Loyalty!

(It is recommended to save one chapter)
{The fastest horse courier in the Song Dynasty was the Jinzipai, which was established during the reign of Emperor Shenzong.}
{On a one-foot-long red lacquered wooden sign were written eight golden characters: "Words from the Emperor are not allowed to enter the post." Words were delivered by post horse relays and were not allowed to stay in the post shop.}
{Whenever the emperor sent urgent messages, they were delivered on golden plates, which could travel 500 miles a day.}
{Ministers sent urgent documents to the court by express delivery, which could travel 400 miles a day.}
……

Datang.

"The situation on the battlefield often changes rapidly."

Li Shimin twisted his beard and said to Li Chengqian:

"So it is inappropriate for the emperor to remotely control the expeditionary generals."

"But based on the events of the Five Dynasties, the Zhao Song Dynasty regarded remote control as a family rule to guard against military generals and maintain imperial power."

"The battle formations personally taught by Emperor Taizong of Song were based on this. Every military action on the front line had to be carried out according to orders, which completely deprived the generals of the initiative to respond to changes."

"The fact that twelve golden plaques were issued in quick succession can only mean that Wanyan Jiumei had no real intention of launching a northern expedition from the beginning."

……

Song Shenzong Period
Holding Tianxing tightly in his hand, Zhao Xu gritted his teeth in hatred.

"The gold-lettered plate... is this how you're supposed to use it?!"

……

{Although the paper stipulates that the daily travel speed is 400 or 500 miles, due to various factors such as war, road conditions, climate, etc., the speed is often not achieved.}
{On the fifth day of July, on the eve of the Battle of Yancheng, Yue Fei reported the victory of Liang Xing, Dong Rong and other troops.}
{The urgent memorial sent to Lin'an Prefecture would take more than ten days to travel.}
{On July 8, roughly at the same time as the Battle of Yancheng, Song Gaozong issued the first edict to return to the capital, which basically meant that the army should not be left alone, and that it would be dangerous to go deep into the enemy's territory, so the army should return to the capital.}
{Since Yue Fei received twelve golden plaques in one day on the 19th, ordering him to return to the capital, it means that Emperor Gaozong of Song made this decision hastily when he received the news of Yue Fei's victory in retaking Henan Prefecture, Xijing, on the second day of July.}
{Fuck, is he sick? Why is he sending an order to Yue Fei so early?}
{Because Yue Fei forged an imperial edict to launch the Northern Expedition from the beginning.}
{During the Battle of Shunchang, Song Gaozong agreed to Yue Fei's northern expedition, but stipulated that Guangzhou and Caizhou were the limits of Yue Fei's advance.}
{Not only the land north of the Yellow River, but also the land south of the Yellow River, including the Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture, the Xijing Henan Prefecture and the Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture, were all prepared to be abandoned.}
{In late June, Yue Fei went north. The Song court ordered Li Ruoxu to stop Yue Fei from going out. Li Ruoxu took the initiative to bear the blame for forging the imperial edict for Yue Fei. Song Gaozong then ordered Yue Fei to stop the military action at the end of the intercalary June after capturing Caizhou and Huaining Prefecture, and "light cavalry came to meet him." }
{Yue Fei continued to lead his troops northwards and marched into the Central Plains.}
{North of the Yellow River, south of the Yellow River... I'm not good at geography, where does this extend to?}

{It is equivalent to the area extending from the Huai River to the Ru River in Shangcai.}
……

The period of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty
"What on earth does he want to do..."

Liu Fuling put one foot on the edge of the couch and supported himself with one hand.

"I can't see through him."

Huo Guang knelt down at the bottom, straightened his back and said:

"Song Gaozong was afraid of the future of war."

"One fear is total victory, the other is total defeat."

Liu Fuling touched his chin; the newly grown beard was still a little prickly.

"I understand the fear of a major defeat."

"He has seen the Jin army's advance and feels uneasy."

"How can I be afraid of total victory?"

Huo Guang was silent for a moment, his eyes slightly lowered.

"Total victory... the generals have many soldiers and are powerful and influential... a threat to the imperial power."

"This prevention of military commanders was the foundation of the Song Dynasty."

"Yue Fei's forged edict will increase the emperor's suspicion."

"Even if Yue Fei didn't have such intentions, he still had suspicions."

"Not to mention the great achievement of recovering the old territory and whether Emperor Qinzong of Song would be welcomed back... Emperor Gaozong of Song also had no descendants..."

"With all these reasons combined, it's better to stay still than to move."

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"When later generations read the history of the Song Dynasty, they all gnashed their teeth at Emperor Gaozong's compromise with the Jin Dynasty."

Zhu Di sat on a stone pier with his hands on his knees, looking at the sky.

"From the perspective of the country, the emperor missed a great opportunity by recalling the army when Yue Fei was winning battles one after another and was expected to recover the lost territory in the Central Plains."

"But this is not the emperor's way of thinking. The emperor has much more to consider."

Zhu Zhanji pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Zhu Di glanced at him and pushed the white jade cup on the stone table.

Zhu Zhanji immediately stood up, picked up the teapot and poured water.

"Grandpa, drink some water!"

Zhu Di picked up the teacup and took a sip, then continued:
"Let's not talk about whether Song Gaozong has the ambition to recover the lost territory, let's just look at what he is worried about from the emperor's perspective."

"First, he was worried that he would not be able to defeat the Jin Kingdom and would anger the Jin Kingdom."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said:

"Yes, didn't Emperor Qinzong of Song think he could stop the Jin army? In the end, he and Emperor Huizong were captured by the Jin."

Zhu Di gave him a sidelong glance and Zhu Zhanji kept silent.

"Not to mention the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong, even Emperor Gaozong himself almost became a prisoner of the Jin people."

"When Jin Wushu went south, he chased him into the sea. If China wasn't so big, he would have gone to the Jin Kingdom to accompany the two emperors."

"That brings up the fact that war is risky."

"Since there are risks, the only option is to negotiate peace. This way he can sit comfortably on the throne."

Zhu Zhanji folded his arms.

"This idea... is so stupid."

Zhu Di snorted lightly, and did not answer, but continued:

"Second, what about defeating the Jin Kingdom and regaining lost territory?"

"Before the second emperor died, the whole Southern Song Dynasty was talking about welcoming the second emperor back."

"After Huizong died, no one mentioned this matter anymore. Even Yue Fei submitted a secret letter to request the establishment of a crown prince."

"But Emperor Qinzong of Song is still alive. If we defeat the Jin Dynasty, we will have to welcome Emperor Qinzong back. How can two emperors coexist?"

"So what if he is appointed the crown prince first? Won't he still be deposed after seizing power?"

"Who will be the emperor then?"

"at last……"

Zhu Di thought of the past events during the Hongwu period and could not help but sigh:

"As long as the Northern Expedition continues, those generals who hold military power and guard one side will be the emperor's biggest worry."

"The tradition of the Song Dynasty is to strictly prevent the military from gaining too much power and threatening the emperor's rule."

"The family rules of our ancestors cannot be changed."

"Although the threat from the Jin Kingdom is great, the Southern Song Dynasty is not as bad as the Northern Song Dynasty."

"It is not imminent that Qinzong survives."

"But the generals are beside my bed."

"The affairs of the Five Dynasties were what the emperors of the Song Dynasty were most concerned about."

"Everything is for the position under the buttocks."

……

On the canopy.

The bright moon is in the sky.

The bonfire was blazing, and the blackened wood was crackling.

Inside the abandoned temple.

Yue Fei carried the charcoal with a stick.

Surrounded by his generals, the sound of burning firewood was particularly clear in the silent night.

Through the empty temple gate, Yue Fei looked at the soldiers outside.

The people were in disarray.

"How did the world get to this point?"

Everyone was silent, only one general looked at Yue Fei and suddenly said:
"All the affairs of the world are in the hands of my husband!"

Yue Fei threw the burning branch in his hand into the bonfire and sighed:
"I'm afraid I'll be dealt with by the world."

……

Southern Song Dynasty, Gaozong period
"Your Majesty! Yue Fei has long had rebellious intentions!"

A group of ministers immediately jumped out at Qin Hui's signal.

Zhao Gou glanced at Qin Hui coldly.

And at this time in Lin'an Prefecture.

Everyone looked at the sky and discussed with each other.

“It’s really not as good as… Alas!”

An old man wearing a two-win ring sighed.

The old man at the side sighed with his hands behind his back.

"Da Song...please take off the second victory ring."

"The Second Saint...can't pay it back."

……

The scene on the sky changed.

Common people in cloth clothes and straw sandals stood in front of the army.

An old man grabbed the bridle of his warhorse and cried bitterly to Yue Fei in front of him:
"Mr. Yue! You can't leave!"

"We are carrying incense and transporting food and grass to welcome the government troops. Everyone in the Jin army knows this."

"My husband passed away today, and I can't wait to live!"

Yue Fei held the old man's hand, the brave and proud general's eyes were red.

Just as he was about to speak, a scholar wearing a turban squeezed in from the crowd and knelt down to worship!

"Prime Minister Xuan! We have been trapped by these wicked people for more than a century!"

"Since I heard that Prime Minister Xuan had assembled his army and was heading north with the intention of restoring the country, I have been looking forward to the sound of carriages and horses, and I have counted days as years!"

"Now wherever the Prime Minister's voice reaches, the old land will be recovered!"

"The ugly beast ran away, and the family members were celebrating, saying that the left lapel was taken off!"

"I suddenly heard that Prime Minister Xuan was returning to the capital. I have never heard of such a thing!!"

“Prime Minister Xuan! Even if Prime Minister Xuan doesn’t care about the people of the Central Plains, can he bear to abandon the work that is about to be accomplished?!”

Yue Fei closed his eyes and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Looking up to the sky and sighing.

"Please ask for the Holy Decree!"

A general walked up to Yue Fei holding an imperial edict.

The scholar kneeling on the ground looked up at the yellow silk edict and his face suddenly turned pale.

Yue Fei unfolded the imperial edict and choked up:

"Everyone... the court has issued an order! I... cannot stay without permission..."

……

[The withdrawal order seriously affected the morale and spirit of Yue Fei's army.] [At the same time, the people in western Beijing heard the news and stopped in front of Yue Fei's horse and cried. Yue Fei took out the imperial edict with tears in his eyes and showed it to everyone.]

[When the army retreated to Caizhou, hundreds of people flocked to the government office to cry and complain, including common people, monks, Taoists, and scholars.]

【Yue Fei then showed the army's edict to the crowd, and everyone burst into tears.】

【Finally, Yue Fei decided to keep the army for five days to cover the local people's migration to Xianghan.】

[The army marched south from Caizhou and returned to Ezhou.]

[On July 1140, , Yue Fei led cavalrymen, passed through Shunchang Prefecture, crossed the Huai River, and headed for Lin'an.]

[The Northern Expedition in the tenth year of Shaoxing, under the strategic command of Song Gaozong and Qin Hui, helped the Jin army reoccupy Henan, destroying the brilliant results of the Song army's repeated victories. The Jin army ended by killing the righteous armies in various places in Jiangbei and massacring the people who welcomed the royal army.]

【Yue Fei was heartbroken.】

[“All the counties we have conquered will be lost! The country will never be able to recover! The world will never be restored again!”]

……

Big man.

"He hates..."

Liu Bang swung his legs, looking melancholy.

"Yeah, who wouldn't hate someone who holds them back?"

Lu Zhi had a cold face and snorted.

"At the critical moment, Zhao Gou had to give up."

"If you are unwilling to give up, you will abandon the whole world to serve one person!"

The old rogue raised an eyebrow.

"These words... don't seem like something you could say?"

Lu Zhi raised her robe sleeves and slapped the table!

"I have some insights! Is that not okay?"

"What if Liu Chan blocked Zhuge Kongming every time! Just like Zhao Gou!"

"You still have the heart to sit here and watch the world go by with a smile?!"

Liu Bang scratched his head.

Although this statement is a bit crooked, it does make some sense.

"That being said, we cannot abandon Yue Fei."

"Once he abandons Zhao Gou, what's the point of winning territory and returning with him?"

"All the relatives of the Song Dynasty were taken away, and he couldn't even find anyone to appoint as emperor."

"If you're talking about learning how to wear a yellow robe... then the Song Dynasty was trying to prevent this from the beginning..."

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng covered his face and cried.

"How innocent the people of the world are."

"But he lost his life because of the emperor's selfishness."

Liu Qi understood what it meant to be furious.

"Those 400,000 heroes... those people in the counties..."

"Zhao Gou!"

"You will not die a good death!"

……

After returning to Lin'an to report on his work, Yue Fei declined all the rewards and made no secret of his disappointment: "My humble aspirations have not achieved even a little bit, and I have used my body to plan for you, but I am only greedy for the title and salary, and how can I be redeemed even if I am executed ten thousand times?" He asked to resign.

[Song Gaozong did not agree, and the edict read: "You are the most courageous and wise of your time, and your reputation has won the support of the people."]

[“I have long-term plans and help you with your long-term plans. There is no end in sight.”]

[After praising him, he also moved him with emotion: "Although you have ambitions, you have always lived in the mountains and forests. As a minister serving the king, can you forget about the royal family?"]

……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian laughed angrily.

"So, you're too good? I can't let you go?"

"Then go ahead and hit me!"

"You don't dare to fight! You..."

He had never seen such a strange and weird person!

"What on earth does he want to do?" Dugu Jialuo held the baby and coaxed him, glancing at the sky.

Rolling his eyes:
"He wanted to keep a backup plan, so that if the Jin army attacked again, there would be someone who could stop them."

Yang Jian felt a toothache when he heard this.

"Why waste all this energy...why not just push it straight to Kaifeng!"

Dugu Jialuo interjected lightly.

"If he takes this kind of great merit, he'll be dead soon. Don't you understand?"

Yang Jian was choked to death by his own queen.

But I couldn't refute it, so I had to change the subject.

"It seems that his fate is to die in depression with his ambitions unfulfilled."

"Just like Zongze."

……

[As soon as the Song army retreated, Jin Wushu immediately returned. ]

[In the first month of 1141 AD, he led an army of across the Huai River, heading straight for Huaixi, threatening Jiangsu and Zhejiang.]

[In February, the Song and Jin sides fought fiercely in Zhegao Town in Wuwei Army.]

[The Jin army saw Liu Qi's flag and said, "This is the flag of Shunchang." They fled in panic.]

[In just ten months, Jin Wushu suffered four major defeats in succession at Shunchang, Yancheng, Yingchang, and Zhegao.]

【He then realized that the Jin army could not win on the battlefield and expressed his willingness to negotiate peace with the Southern Song.】

【There is only one prerequisite for peace talks.】

[“You must kill Fei before you can make peace”]

[In April 1141, Emperor Gaozong of Song issued an edict to promote Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun to the position of Privy Councilors, and Yue Fei to the position of Deputy Privy Councilor.]

……

Great Song.

Zhao Da, who was beating up Zhao Er, was shocked.

Zhao Er, who was crouching and defending, was also shocked.

"what did he say?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to believe it and didn't dare to believe it.

"We must kill Fei... and then negotiate peace..."

Zhao Kuangyi didn't want to believe that he would have such stupid descendants.

"To be promoted to Privy Councilor... means that the military power must be revoked."

"He wants to do it... He really wants to do it! He really dares to do it!"

"Beast! Beast!"

"Pfft!"

Zhao Kuangyin's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

He pounded the ground, two lines of tears dripping from his cheeks.

"I hate it!"

"I hate it!!!"

……

【Three months later, Yue Fei was impeached by the censor Wanqi Xie and charged with three major crimes, which can be summed up in two words: "disloyalty."】

[On August 9, Song Gaozong dismissed Yue Fei from his post as Deputy Privy Counsellor, but retained his rank as Grand Protector. He also "specially granted" him the original post of Jiedushi of Wusheng and Dingguojun, and appointed him to the idle post of Wanshou Temple Envoy.]

【On September 8, Zhang Xian was arrested. Wang Jun, the former deputy commander of the army under Zhang Xian, was treacherous and corrupt, and was punished by Zhang Xian many times. He was bribed by Qin Hui.】

[He falsely accused Zhang Xian of receiving a letter from Yue Yun, plotting to "falsely claim that the Jin army invaded Shangli" to force the court to let Yue Fei regain control of the military power, and then occupied Xiangyang and rebelled.]

[After Zhang Xian was arrested, Zhang Jun tortured him to extract a confession. Zhang Xian was beaten to a pulp, but he still refused to confess.]

【But Zhang Jun lied, and Zhang Xian confessed that Yue Fei was plotting a rebellion. 】

【Qin Hui hurriedly requested that Zhang Xian and Yue Yun be sent to the Dali Temple for investigation, and that Yue Fei be summoned to the Dali Temple for interrogation. Song Gaozong immediately approved the request.】

……

On the canopy.

Yue Fei sat in the pavilion with a sad look on his face.

A general in military uniform paced back and forth in the pavilion, looking anxious and saying:

"Young Master! What I said is true!"

"Zhang Xian even signed the confession! How could it be false?"

"This villain! He has surrendered to the Qin thief!"

Yue Fei sighed and said:

"I know you have made great efforts, but once the imperial edict comes, you have no choice but to go."

"This is just like Hu Fang's accusation against Geng Zhuo, trying to implicate Han Shizhong. Now it is Wang Jun who is framing Zhang Xian and plotting to harm me."

"same."

The general stamped his feet and said anxiously:

"Young Master! Why are you still going? Once you go, you can't predict whether it will be good or bad!"

Yue Fei slowly stood up and put his hands behind his back.

Looking at the children catching butterflies in the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I am well aware of Qin Hui's treacherous character, but I am, after all, a military commander promoted by the government."

"In the resignation speech, the emperor also clearly stated that he wanted to complete my duties from beginning to end and fulfill the bond between the monarch and his subjects."

"Didn't Han Shizhong also turn danger into safety when he met the emperor?"

……

[Jiang Shixiong, an eighth-rank official, took advantage of the opportunity to be appointed as an official in charge of catching smuggled salt in Fuzhou, and rode his horse from Ezhou to Jiangzhou.]

[He reported to Yue Fei that he had learned from the memorial officer Wang Churen that Wang Jun had reported Zhang Xian for "betrayal."]

【At that time, Yue Fei received an order from the Song court to summon him back to Lin'an Prefecture.】

[Yue Fei immediately set out on his journey. After arriving at Lin'an Prefecture, Wang Churen, the military officer of Ezhou, took the risk again and reported to him the false accusation made by Wang Jun.]

[He earnestly urged Yue Fei to defend himself, but Yue Fei sighed:]

[“If the heavens have eyes, they will not allow loyal ministers to fall into injustice! If misfortune happens, there will be no escape!”]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Stubborn!"

Liu Che swung his sleeves and hurried back and forth in the hall.

He pointed at the sky and cursed angrily.

"That damn Zhao Gou!"

“Insidious and vicious!”

"On the surface, I comforted him and promised Yue Fei to protect his meritorious officials!"

"Let him think that even if he is stripped of his military power and dismissed from office, he can still keep his life!"

"It's actually a delaying tactic!"

"And you! Yue Fei!"

Liu Che put his hands on his waist, feeling very disappointed with his friend.

"Stupid! Unbelievably stupid!"

"You still believe in the words of such a fickle villain!"

"You are so stupid!"

"Don't call me Yue Fei anymore!"

"Let's call him Yue Zhong! The Zhong of foolish loyalty!"

"you……"

Huo Qubing, who was standing behind him, looked at Wei Zifu and quietly pointed at Liu Che, who was still standing with his hands on his hips and cursing.

"Your Majesty, what is this? Isn't loyalty a good thing?"

Wei Zifu looked at Liu Che and shook her head:

"Love turns to hate? Maybe there's a bit of jealousy?"

"Who knows? It's hard to guess what he's thinking."

"Maybe... um... I substituted Yue Fei for you and your uncle, right?"

Huo Qubing looked at the sky and murmured softly:

"My uncle and I..."

"…It is our great honor to meet Your Majesty."

"It's just a pity for Yue Fei."

Huo Qubing looked at the sky and sighed:

"Heading to death is like going home."

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
"Today I finally understand the evil of the emperor."

Li Longji understood.

An emperor's achievements do not only depend on his subjects.

It also depends on whether the emperor can act uprightly.

"Where did this dog emperor learn this?"

He is obviously a latecomer, so how come he is so adept at being shameless and killing people with borrowed knives?

……

Song Taizong period
Zhao Kuangyi's eyes were wide open until blood came out.

Zhao Heng, who was standing by, handed over the white silk with trembling hands.

"Dad... Dad, your eyes..."

Then a pair of bloodshot eyes looked at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng was trembling with fear.

Zhao Kuangyi opened his bloodshot eyes, looked at the people around him who were bowing their heads, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Go on, I want Tianmu to know."

"This beast...must be tortured to death!"

……

【On October 13, Emperor Gaozong of Song imprisoned Yue Fei.】

[At the same time, the fact that Yue Fei was imprisoned was publicly announced to the court and the public.]

【He Zhu, the Chief Censor, and Zhou Sanwei, the Minister of Justice, were appointed as the chief and deputy chief judges, and Yue Fei was sent to the Dali Temple to be investigated.】

……

On the canopy.

Zhang Xian and Yue Yun were wearing shackles, naked and barefoot, and their bodies were covered in blood.

They were forced to their knees and groaned in pain.

Yue Fei looked at the two officials in the hall with grief and indignation.

The official on the left slammed the stick and said angrily:
"Yue Fei! How dare you instigate Zhang Xian and Yue Yun to join in the rebellion?"

He was about to step forward to argue, but suddenly the jailers on both sides stopped their sticks and shouted:
"Stand with your arms crossed!"

Yue Fei paused.

Then he suppressed his anger, stood with his hands crossed, restrained his anger and said calmly:
"The so-called plot to coerce the Ezhou army to go to Xiangyang Prefecture to threaten the court is actually a false accusation by Wang Jun!"

"Zhang Xian and Wang Jun were in the same army, and they became enemies."

"But when Wang Jun refused to comply, he revealed all his plans for rebellion."

"This is a false accusation without a doubt!"

The official on the right pointed his sword at Yue Fei and shouted:

"The evidence is here, do you still dare to quibble?"

Then he produced several documents.

"This is Wang Jun's accusation document, this is Zhang Xian's confession document, and this is Yue Yun's confession document!"

"Isn't this hard evidence enough?"

"Let me ask you! When did you and Zhang Xian and the others agree to rebel?"

The official on the left frowned but said nothing.

Yue Fei looked around and felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

"I have lived by my loyalty and have never failed my country."

"No matter how you interrogate me for your own selfish reasons, you can still frame me."

"I only have one word to say to the world."

As he spoke, Yue Fei took off his white prison uniform with a sad face.

Turn around and stand.

Everyone in the hall looked at the back covered with scars and felt as if struck by lightning.

There are four ink characters vertically engraved on it.

"Serve the country with loyalty"

……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin's legs were trembling. He shook off Zhao Kuangyi's hand and slowly sat down on the stone pier.

"My body and hair are given by my parents, so I dare not damage them."

"Yue Fei was born into a military family, so he didn't need to have a tattoo on his body, but he did it anyway, and on his back where others couldn't easily see it."

"His indignation and loyalty are self-evident!"

"Zhao Gou...Zhao Gou!"

"I wish I could eat your flesh and sleep on your skin!"

"My people!"

"My territory!"

"My Great Song!"

"How could the world be so? How could it be so!"

"Why don't you fight back! You...he's not worth it! Not worth it!"

Zhao Kuangyin cried bitterly.

He completely broke down.
