What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Of yue fei's 10 generals, 3 betrayed: Wang Gui, Dong Xian, and Wang Jun.
Wang Gui was Yue Fei's eldest brother, cautious and meticulous, and was Yue Fei's butler-like figure, second only to the deputy general Zhang Xian in the military. Wang Gui was also the main general of the Yue family's army, and from the beginning of Yue Fei's army, he followed Yue Fei to various places and made outstanding achievements in battle. When Qin Ju and others fabricated Yue Fei's charges, Wang Gui was coerced by Zhang Jun and participated in framing Yue Fei. After Yue Fei was killed, Wang Gui realized that he was in a difficult situation and resigned. He died of illness in August of the 23rd year of Shaoxing.
In the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141), Song Jin reached a peace agreement for the second time, and Yue Fei had been idle at home for a long time. Jin Wushu wrote to Qin Ju, stating that yue fei must be killed in order to achieve a real peace between the two countries. A year ago, the Yue family army defeated the Jin army at Yingchang, and Jin Wushu wanted to avenge the murder of his son-in-law. Jin Wushu's secret letter made it difficult for Qin Ju to sleep and eat, and he could only follow it for his own benefit. Qin Ju began to take the opportunity to disintegrate the military power of Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei, leaving the three of them idle at home. When Qin Ju was framing Han Shizhong, Yue Fei had sent a message, and Qin Ju hated it when he learned about it. At Qin Jun's behest, Zhang Jun began to fabricate rumors to frame Yue Fei, and Qin Jun, taking the opportunity to instruct his henchmen's right counselor Wan Qianjie (mò qí xiè) to impeach Yue Fei and ask the imperial court to remove Yue Fei from his post as privy councillor. Other qin junipers, such as Yushizhong He Zhu, Luo Ruyu, and others, participated in the impeachment.
The power of the Southern Song Dynasty was determined by the economic basis of the Jiangnan chaebols, who cared about their own economic interests rather than the political interests of the country, because no matter which emperor came to power or which dynasty changed, these Jiangnan chaebols were not affected. But whoever infringes on their interests, they will take action. The court figures represented by Qin Juniper and the Zhao family royal family who enjoyed the support of the Jiangnan chaebols naturally understood this truth. Therefore, when the figures represented by Yue Fei wanted to recover the lost land in the Northern Expedition, they faced opposition from the entire court. Once the Northern Expedition was decided, the money and grain needed would be cut out of the mouths of these chaebols, and the chaebols who were the economic foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty would naturally eliminate any threat through various means, so Yue Fei's generals were also the objects of their bribery and co-optation.
Yue Fei's injustice is a mirror, reflecting human nature Yue Fei is a mirror of human nature, and the conscience and desires of everyone are illuminated. Who is right and who is wrong, history has given the answer.
