In the long history of China, some characters have been remembered for their deeds, some for their bravery and loyalty, and some for their betrayal and crimes. Qin Huan, this name has left a deep mark in history, and his traitorous behavior has left him smelly for ten thousand years. But in his family, there is a person who is on a completely different path from him, and who is famous and admired, this person is Qin Huan's grandson.
Qin Huan, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, signed the Shaoxing Peace Conference with the Jin State, which caused the Southern Song Dynasty to lose a large area of land and was called a "traitor" by history. At the peak of his power, his family prospered.
His nephew Qin Xi was adopted by him as an adopted son and enjoyed the glory and wealth brought by this power. The Qin family's mansion has become one of the symbols of the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, resplendent and extravagant.
Qin Shen, Qin Hui's eldest grandson, has lived in such an environment since he was a child, and enjoys all the treatment that the children of powerful people can enjoy. His life was full of luxury and pleasure. And Qin Ju, Qin Shen's son, is a different child. Since he was a child, he was full of curiosity about the outside world, often traveled alone and dealt with ordinary people. He saw the weakness of the Southern Song Dynasty and the suffering of the people, which made him question what the family did.
The Jin army invaded the south, and Huzhou became a strategic location. Qin Ju had become a general at this time, and he and Li Chengzhi jointly guarded the land. In the face of the army of the Jin Kingdom, they did not flinch and swore to protect them to the death. Qin Ju showed his courage and wisdom on the battlefield, repelling the attacks of the Jin Kingdom many times. His cooperation with Li Chengzhi also became a good story in the Southern Song army. Their bravery has won the respect and love of the people.
In this war, Qin Ju completely abandoned the shame of the family and proved his loyalty and courage with his actions. He was no longer a member of the Qin Hui family, but became a hero of the Southern Song Dynasty. His name, praised by the people, became part of history.
After the defense of Huzhou, Qin Ju's reputation was skyrocketing. But instead of being complacent, he became more humble and low-key. He knew that he had been able to achieve this only because of the soldiers who fought alongside him and the people who supported him.
However, the good times did not last long. The Jin Kingdom attacked again, this time aiming directly at the capital of the Song Dynasty. Qin Ju once again led his subordinates to fight to the death against the Jin State army. In a battle, Qin Ju was unfortunately wounded by an arrow from Jin Guo and died heroically.
The people of the Southern Song Dynasty held a grand funeral for him, and his name was recorded in the annals of history and became a hero of the Southern Song Dynasty. And Qin Huan, although he was powerful in the world during his lifetime, was spurned by people after his death and became a sinner of history.
Qin Ju's story tells us that a person's true value is not determined by his origin or family, but by what he does. Only by truly contributing to the country and the people can we gain people's respect and love.
