From a historical perspective, these two men should be typical opposites, a loyal minister and a treacherous court official. Of course, we can now see that loyalty and betrayal are completely different, but where is the difference?
The so-called loyal ministers and traitors must be the object of service. This object is a country of mountains and rivers in a great sense. In a small room, it is the emperor.
Why did the feudal emperors call themselves me, lonely, or just me? Because the whole world is not the land of kings, the map coast is not the land of princes, and the country of mountains and rivers is not a person. That is to say, in the case of autocracy, only the interests of the supreme ruling group can be called loyal subjects to the greatest extent. The emperor is the concentrated expression of this group.
So now that the criteria for distinguishing loyal traitors are determined, it is easy for us to find out whether Comrade Yue Fei is a traitor or a loyal traitor.
So what was the best interest of the emperor at that time? That is to save Zhao Chao. It should be noted that it is Zhao, not. It can be said that if the rulers were sent back to the emperor under the pressure of Yue Fei at that time, it would have an impact on Zhao at most, but it should not have a great impact on Zhao, so this article should not completely subvert the fundamental interests of the supreme ruling group.
Maybe some people really don't understand how tragic the Yue Fei case is. At that time, Yue Fei was not only a Jiuzu, but also his cronies and the whole Yuejiajun were slaughtered. At that time, as long as any aspect of Yue's surname was involved, all members of Yue's family were slaughtered. After all, there were few people at that time, and the relationship between Yue surnames in the world was more or less irrelevant, which may be related to Yue Jiajun. So at that time, Yue's surname was a fugitive from all corners of the country and changed its name. There is a word I can't spell, that is, the word yue is reversed, with hills above and hills below. This surname is now available in Yunnan and Liaoning. That is, the descendants who survived Yue's name change.
After getting a deeper understanding of Yue Fei's tragic experience, I have to consider a question. What factors led to the cruel hand of the imperial court at that time? Isn't this a trumped-up charge? Did the trumped-up charges almost lead to Yue's demise?
Often the scenes that appear after the rebellion is wiped out actually appear on Yue Jiajun.
I really believe that Yue Fei will never lead Yue Jiajun to revolt in dispatching troops, because I admire Yue Fei's military genius very much. If Yue Fei really wants to resist the Zhao Dynasty, he will certainly be able to resist.
Then the director of this tragedy is the emperor. But what the emperor did was absolutely in the best interests of the Zhao dynasty at that time.
Let me briefly talk about the historical background at that time.
Since the establishment of the feudal dynasty, there have been n regime changes before the Song Dynasty. Most of them were replaced by the self-esteem of courtiers and eventually rebelled. Although Qin dynasty began in Daze township, it died in princes. In the middle of the Han dynasty, there was Wang Mang, and then there were three countries that changed dynasties. Everyone is familiar with it. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it is almost impossible to find out which court's demise is not a factor of yellow robe.
But in the Song Dynasty, this phenomenon suddenly disappeared. Is it accidental?
Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe gave him a clever insight into history, so he drank a glass of wine to ease the military power and gently solved these hidden dangers. This is the only court that didn't kill the hero. It's not that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare. But he died mysteriously with a bow, a cup and an axe shadow. After Zhao Kuangyi, the brother who killed his brother, proclaimed himself emperor, he stepped up efforts to eliminate all possible factors that might kill the king and usurp the throne. Let me give you some examples.
At that time, once a war broke out, it meant personal expedition. All the soldiers in the world are concentrated near Gyeonggi, the so-called 800,000 imperial troops. The mainland has no army except the chief. The poor army on the border only serves as a warning to the police. But you can't go on a personal expedition to all wars, so smaller wars have to be dispersed. When subordinate generals go out to war, they must make a detailed timetable and arrive at the front line. They must be arranged by the emperor, and all additional changes must be asked for instructions from the emperor at the first time. Don't say to do some military deployment, just let the emperor know and agree first, and then use the bugle to mobilize the prepared military forces. The link between this work was handed over to the prison army. Pan Renmei is such a role. Yang Jiajiang's tragedy is inevitable, and this novel is blamed on Pan Renmei. However, if Pan Renmei allows Yang Guang to make correct military arrangements without asking the emperor's instructions, then what awaits him is a butcher's knife, and Yang Guang will die in his own court if he doesn't die in the Liao army. How can such an army be unbeaten? So in the end, the emperor had to use personal expedition, and all of them were captured, which was ridiculous and generous.
But history has just proved that the biggest reason for the collapse of a dynasty is internal problems. Because the Song Dynasty, as a complete dynasty, existed for the longest time in the history of China. The Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty are not the same thing. If they can't be added together, they are the longest.
Because of the infinite yearning for Yue Jiajun, I really don't understand Yue Fei's genius. Briefly talk about the glory of Yue Jiajun. At that time, Zhao Gou had to send troops to the north under various pressures. Han Shizhong on the west road leaves Xiangyang, and Zong Ze on the east road leaves Huainan. Zhong Fei crossed the Jiangbei levy from Jiujiang and Wuhu. The completed glyphs echo each other. Zhong flew over the north of the Yangtze River, and the supply of grain and grass was the worst, but the marching speed was extremely fast, and he soon went out of the mountainous area to the Central Plains, all the way like bamboo. Zhao Gou panicked and immediately ordered the withdrawal. The left and right roads quickly retreated. It is thought that Yue Fei should retreat soon without reserve grain and grass, and even if he does not retreat, the whole army will soon fall. But unexpectedly, Yue Jiajun, with only 50,000 troops, took control of the situation in a very short time in the face of 200,000 strong enemies in the Central Plains. Even the enemy who beat himself several times had to divide his forces and refuse to defend, and the result was annihilated by Yue Fei one by one. (I suspect that General Su Yu got Wu Mu's suicide note) It can be said to be a miracle in military history. In this process, the emperor won twelve gold medals in a row, and none of them stopped Yue Fei's pace. In Zhuxian Town, the main forces of 8 Jin Army in the Yellow River and Henan Province were completely eliminated. It's not that Yue Fei didn't want to take Huanglongfu directly, but that under the conditions at that time, the Yellow River was undoubtedly equivalent to the Atlantic Ocean now. For example, Han Shizhong led 8,000 water troops to annihilate more than 10,000 people 10 in Huangtiandang. As a result, 8 jin j never dared to go down the Yangtze River too long. Yue Fei can't cross the river to the north without adequate preparation. Even if he can cross the river, the whole army will be wiped out. It is impossible for an excellent commander like Yue Fei not to see this. If he doesn't move troops back to Korea and recuperate in the Central Plains, it will undoubtedly be tantamount to rebellion. So I had to withdraw my troops.
In this case, if the court does not take decisive measures, it will inevitably lead to great disaster. We can see from Sima Yi that the tail is too big to fail. This is what Zhao Chao is most worried about.
We can say that Yue Fei will never rebel, but what about his son? Who can guarantee the grandson if the son does not rebel? For example, Cao Cao, such as Sima Yi. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Zhuge Liang hadn't died so early.
Therefore, for internal reasons, Yue Fei is definitely not a loyal minister. But a cancer of the imperial court, which must be solved before it grows up and metastasizes.
In my opinion, it's a little sad. A genius like Yue Fei, with such noble personality and wise mind, can't see what the court is worried about. What caused him to do such a moth-like behavior? I really don't want to analyze it anymore.
So from the external reasons at that time, was Yue Fei a loyal minister? Then it is necessary to analyze the biggest conflict in human society.
The main conflict of human society for thousands of years is the conflict between nomadic civilization in the north and farming civilization in the south.
Nomads in the north live a nomadic life, so they hunt and graze and live on water and grass. Backwardness and toughness are all determined by force. Easy to accept all kinds of foreign cultures. Various forces are prone to rise and fall. Because the population that the grassland can support is limited after all, a force will often rise in decades to hundreds of years to sweep other tribes and exterminate the population to maintain the stability of the grassland. Take the Jin Dynasty as an example. After Hong Yan Agoudas led the rise of Jurchen, she will reduce the grassland area every fifteen years, that is to say, she will kill one third of all men whose grasslands exceed the axle. The ruler often entrusts the larger tribes who are inclined to him to complete this task, choosing different tribes to do it every time, and taking the opportunity to provoke tribal vendettas to weaken all grassland tribes. But even so, the northern nationalities will be like locusts, shouting and screaming on the earth at unknown time and eating everything that is still alive.
Southern farming civilization has developed productive forces and high land output. Because of the need for cooperative work, it is easy to live in groups and cooperate. There is a piece of land that can be made at sunrise and rest at sunset, so it is not so aggressive. What's worse, it can bring peace and stability to the country. Let things calm down and be patient first. But he is extremely arrogant in his bones and often calls the north barbarians.
The gap between North and South civilizations is so great that it will inevitably lead to fierce friction and conflict. In the border area between the north and the south, years of war have been prolonged. Under such conflicts, it is often the south that suffers the most, because it can't always go deep into the grassland to chase the people on horseback. Every time there is a war, the south will spend a lot of money and material resources to resist the invasion of the northern nationalities.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court almost always had such an anxious state. On the one hand, it does not dare to release military power, on the other hand, it has to endure all kinds of bullying. In the Southern Song Dynasty, everything changed, because once the people on horseback got off the horse, they were quickly assimilated by advanced civilization, and so were the rulers. After the capital moved south, it quickly became a dynasty of agricultural civilization, and its aggressiveness and aggressiveness also declined at the same speed. After the Jin Dynasty fled from the fiasco of crossing the south of the Yangtze River for the last time, it gave up the war completely, because waging the war in the state of agricultural civilization required huge financial and material resources and gained little benefit. At the same time, this transformed dynasty has to face the threat from the north, so that the Jin Dynasty not only did not pose any threat to the Zhao Dynasty, but became a buffer zone and shield for the nomadic people in the north.
Therefore, from the external reasons, Yue Fei is destroying the invisible Great Wall of the imperial court and leading the imperial court to war again. So in Zhao Gou, Yue Fei is still a villain.
Well, for the imperial court at that time, whether from the inside or from the outside, Yue Fei was an out-and-out cancer, a villain, and he was loyal. Of course, this is not difficult to understand, not only chopping, but also killing all Yue surnames.
Qin Gui, a loyal minister of Zhao family, wholeheartedly helped the imperial court to do such a big thing. Unexpectedly, Zhao's son and grandson turned against each other and sent him into eighteen layers of hell, which he will never forget for thousands of years. It will snow on sunny days in June.
From Zhao Gou's point of view, this is the most reasonable explanation I can get. Not necessarily my personal opinion. Just give you another perspective. But no matter what kind of problems appear, I tend to analyze them with facts instead of commenting on them myself. As for everyone's guesses and ideas, they don't represent my real thoughts.
