In 1142 BC, Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong listened to the words of the villain Qin Hui and executed Yue Fei in Fengbo Pavilion. After learning the news of Yue Fei's death, everyone in the country mourned him.
Over the years, Yue Fei has fought in the south and the north, and has made great contributions to the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the end he ended up in a different place, how can people not regret it? that
After Yue Fei's death, where are his wives and children? Did you also encounter accidents?
Framed for rebellion
Speaking of the most tragic scene in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was the death of Yue Fei, Yue Fei's death not only chilled the hearts of the soldiers and the people, but also accelerated the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In 1140 AD, Yue Fei led his own Yuejia army and bravely repelled the Jin army that came to attack.
But Yue Fei, who is dedicated to the country, knows that his thoughts have touched the status of Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou. If the second emperor really returns to the dynasty, will Zhao Gou's throne still be secure?
For this point, Zhao Gou's heart is also like a mirror, he doesn't want the Northern Expedition at all, let alone the second emperor to return to the court. After all, his throne has just been secured, and he is unwilling to let anyone threaten his rule.
As for Prime Minister Qin Hui, not to mention, he already had interests with the Jin Dynasty, and if the war with the Jin Dynasty continued, his interests would be greatly reduced.
So Qin Hui gave advice to Zhao Gou many times, hoping to stop the war and use communication to solve the problem. In this way, Zhao Gou took advantage of Qin Hui's suggestion to directly issue 12 gold medals in a row and ordered Yue Fei to retreat.
Although Yue Fei, who was on the front line, didn't know what Zhao Gou thought, he confirmed that if he withdrew his troops like this, he would lose the perfect opportunity to attack.
After all, the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and opportunities are also rare, if you lose such a good offensive opportunity, it will be difficult to make up for it in the future. But even so, he could not disobey the imperial order, so he could only order the withdrawal of troops and was forced to return to the court.
After returning to the dynasty, Yue Fei wanted to continue to return to the front line to serve the country, so he proposed the idea of the Northern Expedition to Zhao Gou many times, only in this way could the country be kept stable.
But these suggestions were blocked by Qin Hui, after all, Qin Hui was already the prime minister at this time, and he was in a position above ten thousand people under one person, and his suggestions would also affect Zhao Gou's decision-making.
But even so, Qin Hui is still not at ease, as long as Yue Fei is there, his life will not be peaceful. So he turned his mind to Yue Fei.
hopes to use some means to completely eliminate Yue Fei, and only after Yue Fei's death can he sit back and relax. In order to completely bring down Yue Fei, Qin Hui tried every means to convict Yue Fei.
But Yue Fei is an upright person, has great military achievements, and has a high prestige in the court and the military camp, and it is not a simple matter to bring down such a figure, and after some consideration, Qin Hui decided to convict him of rebellion.
Ordered to die
In order to make this crime more real, he first wantonly spread Yue Fei's ill-intentioned remarks in the DPRK, and in this way undermined Yue Fei's prestige and aroused people's discussions.
Later, he arrested Yue Fei's subordinate Zhang Xian and imprisoned him, and threatened him with torture to frame Yue Fei for rebellion.
After a series of careful layouts, the ministers of the DPRK and China also talked about Yue Fei, and even Zhao Gou also had some questions.
Seeing the maturity of reality, Qin Hui hurriedly asked Zhao Gou for the news that Yue Fei had rebelled, and also claimed that he had mastered the substantive evidence of the imitation, and brought the witness Zhang Xian to the scene.
There were rumors first and then there were witnesses, and such an operation made Zhao Gou have to believe the fact of the rebellion.
Originally, Zhao Gou was unhappy with Yue Fei's "Northern Expedition" and "Welcoming the Second Emperor", so he just took this opportunity to solve him.
But it's still difficult to take care of it after thinking about it, after all, Yue Fei can fight well and is an excellent general, if he is killed like this, it would be too much of a pity.
Moreover, Yue Fei's prestige in the military camp and among the people is extremely high. If killing him causes public outrage, how can it be suppressed? But between "rebellion" and "protecting the throne", Zhao Gou finally chose the latter.
In 1142 A.D., Yue Fei was falsely accused and arrested and imprisoned, where he endured unimaginable torture. In the face of various punishments, he did not choose to compromise, let alone admit trumped-up charges.
Yue Fei's actions also moved the jailer, but who would dare to disobey the emperor's order? After spending several months in prison, Yue Fei finally received a death edict.
In the face of the edict, Yue Fei did not have any expression on his face, but calmly wrote the words "Zhaozhao every day" in prison, from which we can also see the sadness and desolation in Yue Fei's heart.
The fate of his wife and children
Many people are curious about what happened to Yue Fei's wife and children after his death? Did he also encounter Qin Hui's hand and be killed? I also know that with Qin Hui's means, he will definitely not let Yue Fei and his family go easily.
On the day Yue Fei was killed, his eldest son Yue Yun was beheaded on the street for treason because he refused to frame Zhang Xian, and his head was hung up for public display.
As for the other 4 sons and his wife Li Wa, they were also suppressed by those in power, not only deprived of their past glory, but also exiled, and even food, clothing, housing and transportation became a problem.
The conditions in the penal colony were extremely simple, with cold winds in winter, and families had to huddle together to keep warm, and mosquito bites in summer could only endure it. It takes a day of hard work every day to get a meager ration.
Although the environment is so difficult, Li Wa, as a mother, bravely takes on the responsibility of a mother and gives her children as much shelter and warmth as possible.
Even so, they did not give up the idea of avenging their father, especially Yue Fei's second daughter Yue Yinhua, who knew that her father was wrongfully killed, so they ran everywhere, hoping to get justice for their father.
Although the ideal is very full, but the reality is very cruel, the officials of the current dynasty are all afraid of Qin Hui's power, although they know that Yue Fei was wronged, but no one dares to reach out to help.
Because once you help, it means that you have a relationship with Yue Fei, if you are discovered by Qin Hui and the party. Not only will the official position be lost, but it is likely that even his life will be lost.
After experiencing countless indifference and intrusion, Yue Yinhua felt that there was no justice in the world, so he chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well in a fit of anger.
summary
In 1162 BC, Zhao Gou gave the throne to Song Xiaozong, and Song Xiaozong was frank, he knew that Yue Fei was wrongfully killed, so only one month after coming to power, he issued an edict to rehabilitate Yue Fei.
After the edict was successfully issued, Yue Fei's reputation was completely restored, and his family was spared the pain of exile. Thankfully, Yue Fei's body was not thrown into a mass grave.
Instead, he was carried out of Dali Temple by a jailer named Kui Shun at the risk of his life and found a safe place to be buried. As for where exactly it is buried, there is still no accurate answer.
