What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
When The Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin established the Great Song Dynasty, he had a vow not to kill the ministers, but did not include the warriors.
Yue Fei's death symbolized the continuation of the exclusion and persecution of the warriors by the literati politics of the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei's death by frame-up was not an accidental historical event, and it was a tradition of Song Dynasty politics that Wenchen framed the warriors. For example, the Northern Song Dynasty Cao used suicide, Wang Deyong and the famous general Di Qing were demoted to death............
The Song Dynasty politically suppressed the warriors, and the civilians drove the soldiers. But throughout the Song Dynasty, Wenchen led the army without several military victories. This was the case with the war against western Xia, in which most of the world's most famous ministers such as Xia Chen, Han Qi, and Fan Zhongyan went to the front line one after another, "but they were unable to conquer the other side, nor could they reverse the basic war situation of passive beating, but only maintained." The most glorious victory of the Northern Song Dynasty was to quell the rebellion of Nong Zhigao, but the commander was Di Qing. The only success of the literati leading the army was probably Wang Shao Kaixihe. There are two ways, and the civilians and military generals have their own strengths. The prosperous han and tang dynasties were all created by the cooperation of culture and martial arts. However, the Song Dynasty was jealous of military generals and united the army with literati, which in vain consumed huge financial resources and soldiers' lives.
Qin Ju was shameless in framing Yue Feigu, but his means were only to emulate Zhang Jun and his predecessors Ouyang Xiu and Wen Yanbo.
Ouyang Xiuzhi and the third year of the "On Di Qing Zazi" Yun: "The minister stole the Privy Councillor Di Qing, out of his own army, the title of Wu Yong, the self-employed soldier Shaanxi Right, has become famous, since his first time in charge of the Privy Council, into the ranks of ministers, at that time the way of speaking thought it was impossible, this three or four years, although he has not seen it, but unfortunately has the name of military intelligence." Sergeant Gaiyu was originally a villain... The military attaches to the privy council and obtains military information, not only is it inconvenient for the country, but it will also be a disaster for the people as a last resort. ”
Isn't the crime of Di Qing listed as "false accusation"? Emperor Renzong also wanted to protect Di Qing, but Wen Yanbo reminded the emperor that "Taizu is not a loyal subject". So he left Chen Prefecture, Wen Yanbo, and sent two envoys a day to ask questions, which eventually caused Di Qing to be suspicious of illness and die. How similar the fates of Yue Fei and Di Qing were, the Qing dynasty Zhaoxuan sighed: "There is the Song Generation, the martial minister Liao Liao, but Di Wuxiang has made a contribution to Guangnan, slightly raw, ... It was Ouyang Gonglu who impeached him. Fearing that he has another heart, will he cherish the way of human resources for the country? Di Gong finally died of grief. Later, the thief Juniper framed Wu Mu and attacked Ouyang Zhizhi. ”
The scholar will want to get rid of Di Qing and then quickly, not only afraid of his popularity, "Di Qing rises up, for the Privy Council, every time he comes and goes, the small people gather and watch, and sigh his fist and courage, to the point of horse foot." Even more jealous that he did not humble himself by virtue of his origins, Emperor Renzong advised him to go to his face, but he said, "Let the world be a lowly child, and know that the country has such a name and waits for him." This kind of self-confidence and awareness of improving the status of military generals is most difficult for scholars. Therefore, although Ou Gong admitted that Di Qing was "excellent in his skills." He is more sophisticated than his generations, and he is knowledgeable and has the military spirit to subdue his talents." However, the narrow political mind is derogatory to "the name of the ancient general who has not yet gained one or two." Di Qing and Yue Fei were both generals who were both literate and martial arts, not the kind of simple-minded mangs who were the most popular of the wenchens. Therefore, they were never tolerated by the political system of the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty scholars and doctors sincerely had the spirit of "taking the world as their own responsibility", but their cultural personality was not perfect, and they also excluded dissidents and sacrificed the overall situation of the dynasty at the expense of safeguarding the political interests of the group. Although it has cultural merits, it also lacks "the scourge of the female lord, the foreign relative, the king, and the strong domain", but it is actually a deformed political culture, and no dynasty can flourish for a long time by relying only on the cultivation of literature and reverence, and the ability to write articles and words. Once invaded by foreign enemies, the prosperity of castles in the air was extinguished in an instant. After Yue Fei's death, many bureaucrats not only did not wash away Yue Fei's grievances, but instead aided and abetted abuse and persecuted Yue Fei's family. "Qin Juniper killed the father and son of the Yue clan, and his descendants all migrated to the lake and the Minling Mountains, and the Daily Relief Qianmi lived for his life." In Shaoxing, those who knew Zhangzhou suggested that it was not appropriate to survive after rebellion. Beg for what is in their hurry, in order to fulfill their destiny. "This idea of cutting the grass and removing the roots can be described as vicious.
Although Yue Fei's death had its own personal factors, such as less self-obscurity, unlike Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, who were equal to Lin'an Guang'an, they set up a farmhouse, so that the lord could rest assured, so that the prisoners were taboo. However, Yue Fei, who had to be discerning, actually died in the trap of the literati politics of the Song Dynasty, and he "encountered the adultery of Qin Juniper and was inevitable, that is, it was difficult to avoid it without encountering the adultery of Qin Juniper." It is not only Qin Juniper who should kneel in front of Yue Fei's grave, nor gaozong yijun, but also the scholars and bureaucrats who are also accomplices. Yue Fei's death shows the tragic nature of Song Dynasty culture.
