When it comes to Yue Fei, naturally everyone knows everyone. When Yue Shaobao connected Heshuo and recaptured Xiangyang, he was about to go north to the Central Plains and directly pound the Yellow Dragon, but he was unjustly killed in the Wind and Wave Pavilion, leaving behind regrets for eternity. However, what many people overlook is that Yue Fei was killed along with yue fei, as well as his eldest son Yue Yun and his general Zhang Xian. This involves a question, even if Yue Fei was killed, why did he kill Yue Yun and Zhang Xian?
Historically, the emperor killed the heroes of the generals not without, but many, such as Liu Bang's killing of Han Xin, Peng Yuedu Yiqi's three tribes, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu, and Hu Weiyong were all exterminated, the problem is that their crimes are all conspiracy to rebel, rebellion is a super felony, according to the law is to implicate the whole family.
And some others, as far as the Qin State War God Bai Qi, the merit of the Lord, was only given death. Although Hou Junji, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, was accused of treason, Li Shimin still killed him alone and did not touch his wife and children. Gao Xianzhi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, was killed, and his family was fine. Feng Sheng, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, was given death and his family was safe. Yuan Chonghuan was lingchi, and his family was exiled but not killed. The Qing Dynasty general Nian Qianyao, who was listed as ninety-two major crimes, was only given to commit suicide.
It can be seen that unless it is a felony of conspiracy to rebel, generally even if the emperor wants to kill the general, if it is not a real hammer of rebellion, he will generally not kill his children, let alone kill the generals together, so what is the reason why Yue Yun and Zhang Xian are killed together?
Some people may think that it is very simple, because they are afraid that after killing Yue Fei, they will provoke Yue Yun to rebel, which has a certain reason, but the more than 100,000 people of the Yue Family Army killed Yue Fei Yue Yun's father and son, and they were not afraid of provoking his subordinate generals even more, which was counterproductive? For example, after Chongzhen arrested Yuan Chonghuan, he angered Zu Dashou and other generals and directly took the Liaodong army away, and finally had to rely on Yuan Chonghuan's handwriting to recall. Yue Fei had many generals under him, and they were all willing to serve the force of death, except for Yue Yun and Zhang Xian, would no one come out?
This involves what kind of people Yue Yun and Zhang Xian are, as well as the nature of Yue Jiajun.
The Yue family army is a local army nominally under the control of the imperial court, essentially a private army, from more than a thousand people to more than 100,000 people, all of which are only Yue Fei's horses, which is actually not much different from the local armies under the tang dynasty, the difference is only that Yue Fei is loyal to the country, there is no other selfishness, but suppose that if Yue Fei is like An Lushan, it is not impossible for the Anshi rebellion to be staged again, the Tang Dynasty is not too far away from the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zhuo certainly knows this.
Yue Yun is a young hero, is a brave general, this is recognized, twelve years old from the army, spent in the army through the youth and youth, if he stayed in the army for more than ten years, there is no network at all, then no one will believe, not to mention that every time he fights, he is the first soldier, and the leader is the elite of the elite, and for the soldiers, the most admired is of course the word "brave". Zhang Xian was the same, ranking after Yue Fei Yueyun, and was actually the second person in the Yue Family Army, with outstanding military achievements.
After Yue Yun was arrested, he was interrogated by dali temple and presided over by Qin Juniper's confidant Wan Qianluo Ruyu, which was actually equivalent to Qin Juniper's presiding judge. For Qin Jun, he only had a contradiction with Yue Fei, and did not have much trouble with Yue Yun Zhang Xian, so for him, he thought that the execution of Yue Fei was enough, there was no need to implicate Guangdong, and after some consultation, Dali Temple came up with this judgment:
Yue Fei was beheaded for private crimes, Zhang Xian was hanged for private crimes, and Yue Yun was a private criminal. See for details: Yue Yun, because of his father's right to strike the army, dared to fornicate with the chief military officer Zhang Xian, and jiezi urged him to draw a picture with his confidant military officer, so Zhang Xian wanted to raise troops to plot rebellion. And spread the secrets of the imperial court to confuse the hearts of the army. And spread the secrets of the imperial court to confuse the hearts of the army. Love court secrets, repertoire.
The specific verdict against Yue Yun was: Yue Yun, Hebi Jia, was convicted of private crimes, the official was reduced, the disciple was three years, the official was chased, and the copper was punished with twenty pounds into the palace, and he was extorted. It can be seen that the Dali Temple controlled by Qin Ju was sentenced to death for Yue Fei Zhang Xian, and Yue Yun was only sentenced to three years in prison, which was completely not enough for the death penalty. But the final decision is not in the Hands of Dali Temple, nor is it in the hands of Qin Juniper, and only one person can make the final decision.
The final verdict of Zhao Zhao?
Yue Fei was specially given death, and Zhang Xian and Yue Yun were executed in accordance with military law, so that Yang Yizhong was beheaded, and still many soldiers were sent to protect him.
Why did Zhao Zhuo make such a ruling? This requires an analysis of The Person of Emperor Gaozong of Song. Zhao Shuo's fate is also bumpy, it is impossible to become the emperor, he suddenly became the emperor after a series of bizarre encounters, the folk even have the legend of "Mud Horse Du Kang King", but this emperor is not stable, in addition to being worried about the Jin people at all times, he repeats the mistakes of his father and eldest brother, the country is also constantly strife, first Miao Liu mutiny, then Huaixi military coup, two mutinies made Zhao Shuo more suspicious of the warriors.
At this time, the largest military group in the country is the Yue Family Army, look at this name can understand how uncomfortable Zhao Shuo will be, the world is my Zhao family, the Zhao family's army is called Yue Jia Jun, and the head of this Yue Family Army is still a disobedient thorn head, as a military general shangshu to ask the prince is already a great rebellion, and continuously disobey the eleven holy wills, this thorn head holds military power, how big is the psychological shadow area of Zhao Shuo?
So why kill Yue Yun? If you think about what Zhao Kuangyin said to his subordinates when he released his military power with a glass of wine, you can understand: Although you have no different intentions, if your subordinates want to be rich and noble and put the yellow robe on you, even if you don't want to be emperor, I am afraid that you will be involuntary at that time.
The World of the Zhao Family came this way, even if Yue Fei did not have a different heart, it was difficult to ensure that his subordinates did not want to be prosperous and rich, and then a yellow robe was added to the body, and no one in the whole world would be able to be the front of the Yue Family Army, even if Yue Fei was killed, Yue Yunjiu was in the army, and he won the hearts of the army, even if Yue Yun did not have a different heart, in case his subordinates disobeyed, they supported his troops to avenge Yue Fei, and then I am afraid that he would be involuntary. And killing Yue Yun, one can establish a will, the other can be divided and disintegrated in the Yue family army's different surnames, if anyone wants to raise troops again, there will not be so much appeal.
In fact, Zhao Shuo's strategy was successful, after Yue Fei Yue Yun was killed, the Yue family army was dismantled and dismantled, and some of the original generals betrayed Yue Fei for self-preservation, such as Wang Gui, and some fiercely resisted, such as Niu Gao, who were eventually assassinated, and more obeyed the fate arrangement, or resigned or continued to serve in the army, and some simply surrendered to the pseudo-Qi or Jin kingdoms, and the Yue family army never existed again. Imagine if Yue Yun was still there, would there be some variables in Zhao Shuo's strategy?
But if you think that Zhao Shuo is a late king, it is too small to look at Zhao Shuo, and also underestimate the technical content of the emperor's profession, in the final analysis, killing Yue Fei and Yue Yun was the most secure plan for Zhao Shuo at that time, after repeated measurement, Qin Ju was of course an accomplice and an executioner, but there was a Song Dynasty, no prime minister could play the role of the emperor, and it was the emperor himself who made the final decision, so whether it was Yue Fei's death or Yue Yun's death, it was the embodiment of this strategy. After killing the first, second, and third figures of the Yue Family Army, the rest of the people, etc., could not set off too much storm, Zhao Shuo's original intention was to care about the potential threat of the Yue Family Army rather than the so-called return of the Second Saint, and for Zhao Shuo, getting rid of Yue Fei Yue Yun Zhang Xian's three people was the perfect implementation.
Of course, even if Yue Fei was rehabilitated decades later, because of the reasons for his dignity, the emperor's bad words could not be said, which was just the other side of history.
