In the second year of Jingkang, Zhao Gou, the King of Kang, was captured by Jin people in Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and he succeeded to the throne. He was known as Song Gaozong in history and renamed Yuan Jianyan. Just acceded to the throne of the emperor, reuse advocated peace Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan. This shows that the emperor advocated peace from the beginning, but as a ruler, he couldn't say it. 1 137 10 In October, Yue Fei made a suggestion to make his adopted son Zhao a prince. Emperor Gaozong was extremely dissatisfied and vigilant about this matter. He accused Yue Fei of setting up a prince, which has always been a royal matter, and Yue Wanfei should not touch it. Because of this, the emperor was more dissatisfied and uneasy about Yue Fei.
In the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1 14 1), the state of Jin was ready to make peace with Song Dynasty again. In addition, Emperor Gaozong took the opportunity to suppress the heavily armed generals, especially Yue Fei, who insisted on resisting gold. Then the emperor instructed Qin Gui to impeach Yue Fei, and Yue Fei was removed from office. Theoretically, Yue Fei has no soldiers and no right at this time, only one idle person. Why did Emperor Gaozong still not let Yue Fei go? Because Yue Fei's exploits are too outstanding, he enjoys great prestige in the army and is deeply loved by the people. What if one day Yue Fei rises to revolt? This is absolutely intolerable to the emperor.
In other words, Emperor Zhao Gou was really dissatisfied with Yue Fei. He was worried that the existence of Yue Fei would endanger his throne, so under the instructions of the emperor, Qin Gui killed Yue Fei. In fact, this truth is very simple. Qin Gui and Yue Fei are both employees of the emperor. Whether Yue Fei is here or not, Qin Gui's position will not change. After all, one is a civilian and the other is a military commander. Why? Yue Fei died, and Qin Gui kept it, because Qin Gui was able to observe the thoughts of people higher than him, and Yue Fei focused on the people. Obviously, he could not be a military commander in chief of his subordinates who were kind to the emperor, so he was killed by the emperor.
