Speaking of the cause of Yue Fei's death, the real reason why Emperor Gaozong killed Yue Fei was the great worry that Song had been worried about since the founding of the people's republic of China, that is, he was afraid that the military generals would be too powerful and seek power and usurp the throne.
After the Tang Dynasty's Anshi rebellion, the strength of the military generals increased greatly, cut off the claim to the king, and even plotted to seize the throne, the history is endless, and finally The Tang also died at the hands of the military generals. And the frequent replacement of the throne of the five generations is the result of the struggle between the military generals. Therefore, since the Song Dynasty also established the country as a military general, punishing the evils of going to the country, and preventing the disasters of the military generals was particularly important, which naturally became the ancestral precept and was strictly observed by the Song Emperors.
At the beginning of the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the need for war against Jin, the strength of some generals swelled rapidly, and the disaster of military generals who supported the army and respected themselves may not be repeated. The difficulty of Jing Kang is also better than the chaos of Anshi, the overthrow of the front car, the lesson of the back car, and Gaozong can be said to be well versed in this way. At this moment, the Yue family's army suddenly sprung up, turned out of nowhere, and beat the Golden Soldiers to the ground, almost invincible in the world. Among the military generals, they are even more outstanding and unparalleled, so how can they not become the primary focus of prevention?
Imagine if, after Yue Fei unified the north and regained his homeland, under the seduction of the good deeds, if his head was hot and he had a little disobedience, then the sword blade would go, and Emperor Gaozong would not only hand over the throne? What else could it be? Who could resist the mighty wind of the Yue family's army? At that time, Zhao Song Jiangshan will become the world of the Yue family in the blink of an eye, will it never happen? Yue Fei will copy Song Taizu and add the yellow robe. I think that Song once won the world because of it, and how can he lose the world now? The path to success of Song Taizu must have been the most feared and guarded by the Song Emperors in previous dynasties, and even the slightest sign must be snuffed out in time. Moreover, now that Yue Fei's wings are abundant, and once he successfully recovers the Central Plains, he who has made great contributions will be the general trend, and I am afraid that no one can balance it anymore.
Therefore, it is possible that the Jin people will no longer be the biggest enemy of Gaozong, and whoever is more powerful than Jin will be the biggest enemy. Unfortunately, Yue Fei had automatically escalated into a potentially huge threat to his own imperial power in zhao shuo's eyes through an astonishing hundred battles and hundreds of victories. Moreover, the three words "Yue Family Army" are also enough to prove that this army is still Yue Fei's personal armed force in the final analysis, and the stronger its combat effectiveness, the more likely it is that it will be a major problem for the Song Court. And the popular will of the people of the world that he won in the four conquests made Emperor Gaozong feel uneasy every thought, and he was worried and fearful.
This "if" must have been the place where Zhao Shuo's biggest heart disease lay, and he had to premeditate to prevent the problem.
Yue Fei's death was that his strength was too strong and his reputation was too loud. Powerful enough to pose an objective threat to the imperial power; so loud that the expectations of the people of the world for Yue Fei have exceeded the expectations of the emperor. Unfortunately, Yue Fei has always lacked self-vigilance in this regard, and his political scheming is indeed the level of a layman, far less than Qin Juniper! He only knew that he wanted to strengthen his strength even more, so that he could make meritorious achievements and shame, so as to achieve the purpose of serving the Song Dynasty and the world. Unexpectedly, the more he did this, the less Likely Emperor Gaozong would be to appreciate him, the less he would trust him, but on the contrary, he would only be more afraid and afraid of him, and even more worried about guarding against him, and the final killing should be a reasonable thing. Moreover, he could also send a large generous gift to the Jin Dynasty to seek peace, so why didn't Zhao Zhao, who had two birds with one stone, enjoy it?
Therefore, from the perspective of the whole thing, Zhao Zhuo's killing of Yue Fei was inevitable in terms of the personalities of both sides. Gaozong, who was far-sighted but was small and prosperous, strictly abided by his ancestral precepts and never trusted any military general, met Yue Fei, a famous general who was too pure, full of sincerity, out of the mud and not stained, and who only wanted to restore the Central Plains, could not become a fish and water, and would inevitably become water and fire.
If our beloved General Yue can cultivate more imperial mental skills, be good at reading the mind of the monarch, and at the same time make meritorious achievements, try to prove that it is impossible for him to rebel, even if it damages his glorious reputation and even harms the success of his career, just like Han Shizhong, the tragedy should be avoided! But I want Yue Fei to be a selfless man, how clean and self-righteous, how bright and open! But he was not ashamed to ask questions, and he did not despise it at all, and it was difficult for him to do those filthy things to seek self-preservation, which doomed him to tragedy. In the end, Yue Fei died on the "spotless".
History has repeatedly proved that being in the position of "subject" is doomed to the point where one's own strength absolutely cannot reach the point where it poses a threat to the "king." Once this germ germs are sprouted, whether you have a different heart or a bold and loyal heart, it is no longer the most important, and sooner or later it will become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of the monarch, and only then can you be at ease. To understand this way is also the threshold for the subject, unless you are facing the emperor. Unfortunately, Song Gaozong was highly qualified, shrewd and intelligent, and well-informed, and he was by no means a mediocre person. Yue Fei's death should be inevitable, making people sigh a long time!
