As the saying goes: birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden; A sly rabbit dies, but a running dog cooks. Many famous soldiers in ancient times suffered dismemberment by the emperor after their success, but their grievances were more unfair than Dou E's. Let's take a look at two loyal ministers who were detained as "traitors" in ancient China.

First of all, let's take a look at Yue Fei, an "imaginary" traitor.

Yue Fei studied hard and practiced hard since he was a child, and he was both civil and military, determined to "serve the country faithfully." Later, he became a general in the Song Dynasty by virtue of his real talent and learning, and his Yue family army was unstoppable and famous all over the world. Later, the home army won frequently on the battlefield, and Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and other multi-channel troops contained the nomads from the battlefield. Yue Fei seized the opportunity to recover lost ground, ready to go straight to Huanglong and take the 8 Jin Army's lair. However, just as the troops in the Southern Song Dynasty were victorious, Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou made an amazing move and began to make peace with the 8 Jin Army. Later, at the instigation of the treacherous court official Qin Gui, Song Gaozong ordered all the troops in the Southern Song Dynasty to retreat. In order to let Yue Fei retreat, he even won 12 gold.

Loyal Yue Fei had to withdraw his troops, and he couldn't help but sigh with tears: ten years of hard work was destroyed. On the other hand, in order to achieve the goal of peace smoothly, Qin Gui eagerly began to mow the grass for the hero, and Yue Fei became a thorn in his side.

Qin Gui wanted to kill Yue Fei, so he began to collect evidence of Yue Fei's crime, but he couldn't find any evidence at all. Finally, Qin Gui had to put Yue Fei to death on charges of "trumped-up". On the matter of framing Yue Fei, although Song Gaozong didn't show up directly, it was obvious that he was behind it.

Song Gaozong can't hold Yue Fei, because Yue Fei touched his bottom line on these two things.

First, Yue Fei is patriotic on the battlefield. His slogan is "Recover the Central Plains and welcome the Second Emperor". This violates Song Gaozong's taboo. If we beat Xu Jinguo and bring back two emperors, Song Qinzong and Song Huizong, will he be an emperor?

Secondly, Yue Fei paid close attention to the important affairs of the imperial court and often wrote to persuade Song Gaozong to establish a prince as soon as possible, which made Song Gaozong very angry. To know that young Song Gaozong had no children at that time, Yue Fei advised him to establish Chu Jun as soon as possible. Obviously, this is suspected of "forcing the palace", which has aroused Song Gaozong's strong dissatisfaction and suspicion.

In addition, Gao Zhen was the hero of Yue Fei, and Song Gaozong felt that he also posed a serious threat to his own emperor, so in this way, Song Gaozong and Qin Gui were congenial and conspired to kill Yue Fei. Only Qin Gui was the mastermind who killed Yue Fei, and Song Gaozong was the culprit who framed Yue Fei.

Later, the Southern Song Dynasty court reversed Yue Fei's conviction, cleared the evidence of the "traitor" and cleared the protagonist. However, Qin Gui and others have passed away, so they can't be punished. The people were outraged, so they cast bronze statues of Qin Gui and other main figures who framed Yue Fei, and put them in front of Yue Fei's tomb, so that they could kneel down forever to atone for Yue Fei. The five people kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb are Zhang Jun, Wang, Luo Ru.

In fact, let's look at Yuan Chonghuan, a "traitor" who was "betrayed".

Yuan Chonghuan is a native of Shijie, Dongguan, Guangdong. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Ji Liao was the supervisor. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli (16 19), he was a scholar, and later recommended himself to work in Liaodong border. Sun Chengzong valued Ningyuan. In the war against the Qing army (the latter Jin Dynasty), Ningyuan and Ningjin successively won a great victory, but Wei Zhongxian resigned and returned to his hometown because he was unpopular.

He was very smart since he was a child, loved reading, practiced martial arts in his spare time, and became a talented person with both civil and military skills. He was a late bloomer and was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 35. First, he was transferred to Fujian as Fujian magistrate, and later, due to his remarkable achievements, he was transferred to the Ministry of War. Later, the Ming Dynasty had gradually declined, Guangning was contributed by the late Jin army, and there was an extreme shortage of talents in the border areas. After learning this, Yuan Chonghuan personally went to the customs to inspect the terrain. After he came back, he recommended himself to Emperor Chongzhen and expressed his willingness to defend the border and serve the country.

Emperor Chongzhen gave him this opportunity. As a result, Yuan Chonghuan lived up to expectations and managed the frontier in an orderly way, which was unanimously praised by both inside and outside the imperial court. So Emperor Chongzhen made an exception and promoted Yuan Chonghuan as a Commissioner of foreign troops.
