The emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not dislike Yue Fei because Yue Fei resisted Jin, who was the ancestor of the Manchu people. On the contrary, he respected Yue Fei.
Emperor Qianlong greatly admired Yue Fei's famous saying, "Civilians do not love money, military officers are not afraid of death." He personally wrote an inscription praising it as "A minister with two words can teach me for thousands of years, and a hundred battles can be awe-inspiring for a time." Since Yue Fei is such a loyal minister, then Qin Hui must be a very traitorous minister. In this way, as the descendants of Yue Fei's former enemy and Qin Hui's former friend, it is not difficult to explain that the kneeling statues of Qin Hui and other four people have been constantly recast.
In the eighth year of Zhengde reign (1513), Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao ordered Li Long to cast a bronze statue of Qin Hui, Wang Shi and Wan Qixu with their hands tied behind their backs in front of Yue Tomb in Hangzhou. In the 22nd year of Wanli reign of Shenzong Zhu Yijun (1594), Fan Lai, deputy envoy of Zhejiang Province, believed that the texture of copper was not strong enough, so he used iron to recast the statues of Qin Hui, Wang Shi, Wan Qixi and others, and added a statue of Zhang Jun to become the Four Kneeling Statues. picture. Since then, because the people hated the treacherous minister Qin Hui, the kneeling statue was destroyed and built eight times. Among them, the Qing Dynasty recast five times, which was the dynasty that recast the most kneeling statues of Qin Hui and other four figures:
In the 9th year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1731), Li Wei rebuilt the tomb of Yue Fei, and Li Xingzhong, the magistrate of Qiantang County, The four kneeling statues were cast and a stele was erected;
In the 12th year of Qianlong's reign (1747), the chief envoy Tang Mo recast the four kneeling statues;
In the 7th year of Jiaqing's reign (1802), Governor Ruan Yuanyong confiscated them The foreign pirate iron cannon weapons were recast into four kneeling statues;
In the 4th year of Tongzhi (1865), the chief envoy Jiang Yili rebuilt the tomb of Yue Fei Temple and recast the four kneeling statues;
Guangxu 23 In 1987, the chief envoy Zhang Zuyi recast the four kneeling statues and carved a stele to record them. This group of kneeling statues disappeared when Yue Fei's tomb was destroyed in the autumn of 1966 during the Cultural Revolution. The current iron kneeling statue was recast in 1979 based on the iron kneeling statue of Yue Fei in Tangyin, Henan.
Li Wei was Emperor Yongzheng’s most valued minister, and the governor and chief envoy were all second-rank officials of the imperial court. In the past three hundred years, they continued to recast the kneeling statues of Qin Hui and other four people, which illustrates the Qing court's affirmation of Yue Fei and its denial of Qin Hui.
The Qing emperor's respect for Yue Fei first originated from Nurhachi, who once asked two of his descendants to change their surnames to Yue Fei. Emperor Kangxi once bestowed upon Yue Fei, the 23rd descendant of Yue Fei and the official seal of the Ministry of Punishment, the Nine-Ban Chao Luan Jia and the Python Suit of Yue Zhen. Emperor Qianlong's respect for Yue Fei and his contempt for Qin Hui were even more prominent. He visited Yue Fei's tomb in Hangzhou many times and personally wrote "Yue Wu Mu Lun". The article said: "Fu Wu Mu used troops to control generals and was brave and invincible. , if Han Xin and Peng Yue are all capable of doing so, if they are both civil and military, benevolent and wise, and have unparalleled loyalty, then even the famous generals in ancient times will still miss something. Cherish your own life, knowing that the master will be constructed by Qin Hui, and the king's fate is in your hands, and you dare not hold the power outside the border for a long time. Ouch! Even if you die in the hands of Qin Hui, the future generations of the world will look up to Feng Lie. It can really compete with the sun and the moon for glory.” Emperor Qianlong greatly admired Yue Fei's famous saying, "Civilians do not love money, military officers are not afraid of death." He wrote an inscription praising Yue Fei's words as "A minister with two words can teach you for thousands of years, and a hundred soldiers can be awe-inspiring for a time." Since Yue Fei is such a loyal minister, then Qin Hui must be a very traitorous minister. In this way, as the descendants of Yue Fei's former enemy and Qin Hui's former friend, it is not difficult to explain that the kneeling statues of Qin Hui and other four people have been constantly recast.
Attached is Qianlong's poem "Jing Yue Wu Mu Temple"
The green cypresses and red walls are full of beautiful words, and the lamb and pig life sacrifices are repeated.
The ministers with two words are the masters of the ages, and the soldiers in hundreds of battles are powerful for a while.
Who will destroy the Daoji Great Wall? Lin'an is a blessing.
Why do you hate your hometown, Zu Doufu? Hate is the golden period of gold medal
