For a long time, many so-called experts, scholars and history lovers have always mentioned one thing when analyzing the reasons why Yue Fei was killed: Yue Fei shouted "Welcome to the Return of Two Saints" all day long, regardless of Song Gaozong's opposition. However, if the "double saints" come back, won't Song Gaozong give up the throne?
This statement has a good market. Many people have made an inference that Yue Fei was killed because he was a military commander and had no political mind. But think about it, if Yue Fei is one-track-minded, can he become a famous man handed down from ancient times? If you read the imperial edict of Zhao Gou when he ascended the throne, you will find that the slogan "Welcome to the Two Saints" was first put forward by him.
Song Gaozong said in his letter of accession: "A virtuous and single-minded man stands tall and achieves something." . The restoration of these two palaces will eventually bring permanent peace. I am worried and diligent, and I am healthy when I am in trouble. "This is the original source of" Welcome the Return of Two Saints ",which is Song Gaozong's superb public opinion offensive, which is conducive to stabilizing his throne.
In the fifth year of Shaoxing (1 135), Song Huizong died tragically in five cities of the state of Jin, and his death spread to the Song Dynasty two years later. Xu Jinguo released a news in the ruling and opposition, and decided to send Song Qinzong's son to the capital of song dynasty as a puppet emperor. After receiving the news, Yue Fei said nothing about "Welcome back to Er Sheng". If it wasn't for shouting slogans, why did Song Gaozong kill Yue Fei?
There is only one real reason why Yue Fei was killed. Song Gaozong thinks he is disobedient and has a tendency to be too big to fail. In the seventh year of Shaoxing (1 137), Zhang Jun impeached Liu Guangshi, saying that he was "intoxicated by debauchery and had no sympathy for state affairs, taking words to save, taking anger out on others and asking for mercy as an example", so Song Gaozong ousted Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun thought that he could hand over 50,000 soldiers and horses of Liu Guangshi to Yue Fei for command.
Song Gaozong listened to Zhang Jun's advice and prepared to hand over Liu Guangshi and his men Wang De and Li Qiong's army to Yue Fei. Song Gaozong said, "I'm just a strategist, and the situation is male. You have waited a long time to announce your work, and I am relying on it as soon as possible. Now Yue Fei has been ordered to do his best to protect Qing and others, cover up his shame and serve the country and save the poor. God's will is clear, and now is the time. It's perfect for Qi Xin to work together for fame and fortune. Rewards and honors, and generosity. Listen to the flight orders, if I do it myself. If the statement is violated, the country has an unchanging constitution. "
However, Song Gaozong quickly changed his mind and refused directly. Yue Fei is very unhappy. Without saying hello, he went directly to Lushan to pay his respects to his mother. This is the "Liu Guangshi Incident". You are a general, and you are a pawn in the eyes of the emperor. Obedience comes first. You are too courageous, and Song Gaozong is very unhappy.
See what Qin Gui said when Yue Fei was killed. Han Shizhong forced Qin Gui to ask why, and Qin Gui said, "Although Fei Ziyun and Zhang Shuxian are unknown, what's the use?" Therefore, Yue Fei's only mistake may be that Yue Jiajun is too strong, so strong that Song Gaozong may lose control. Besides, Yue Fei is not as "obedient" as Zhang Jun. I will do whatever the emperor tells me to do, even if I am wrong.
