What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
According to the "History of Song", Yue Yun was Yue Fei's adopted son, but according to many other texts, it is also said that Yue Yun was Yue Fei's biological son, but it was only because of Yue Yun's mother that Yue Yun was not regarded as the eldest son, but this statement is also problematic, because in the "History of Song", Yue Lei is recognized as Yue Fei's biological son, but in the data that Yue Yun is considered to be his own son, it is recorded that Yue Lei and Yue Yun were born of the same mother, so this is inevitably contradictory. So why are these problems? This is related to Yue Fei's first wife, Liu Shi, perhaps Yue Yun's identity will always be a mystery without a definite answer, but Yue Fei's dislike of Liu Shi is not too much question.
This Liu clan, when Yue Fei was sixteen years old, married under the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, Yue Fei soon became a family, he began to work hard for his livelihood, until later Jin Bing went south, Yue Fei joined the army, and gradually became a generation of famous generals with his outstanding talent and extraordinary bravery. However, in the first three years of Yue Fei's departure from home, his old mother and wife and children soon became "refugees" under the rule of jinguo, Yue Fei's worries and anxieties were conceivable, and after several rounds of travel and searching, he finally brought his old mother Yao Shi, who was fleeing everywhere, and the young Yue Yun and Yue Lei to his side, but since then, Liu Shi has disappeared.
Where did Liu Go? According to another famous historical work, the Compilation of the Northern League of the Three Dynasties, later with the help of Han Shizhong, who was also a famous anti-Jin general, found that Liu Shizhong had married a low-ranking officer under him, so Han Shizhong asked Yue Fei to claim it, but Yue Fei was reasonable and would not take care of this stubble. However, this kind of thing, no matter when and where, there will be people who will not understand, after all, Yue Fei left home and lost the news before, the soldiers were in chaos, and a woman remarried was not too big a deal, not to mention, at that time, Zhu Xi was not yet born, or was still in his infancy, and it was impossible to have Cheng Zhu Lixue's set of "chastity" theory, so Yue Fei's approach was regarded by many people at that time as impersonal.
For example, this matter was later learned by Song Gaozong, so he asked Yue Fei why he "abandoned" his wife, and Yue Fei could only show his attitude, saying that he was not abandoning his wife, because "on the day of walking on the ice and crossing the river, he left his wife to serve his old mother, and he did not expect his wife to remarry twice, and the subject hated it." This sentence is not difficult to understand, because Yue Fei's most dissatisfied with his wife (to be precise, his ex-wife) is that when he left home, he obviously asked his wife to take good care of his old mother for himself, but this woman remarried twice, resulting in the old mother and young son being left unattended, which is why he hated his wife the most. Later, Yue Fei also sent five hundred yuan to Liu Shi, saying that he was benevolent and righteous, and from then on he broke off his righteousness. These five hundred guan are indeed quite a lot, because they have always been a thousand pieces of money, and five hundred guan is half a million yuan, and from this point of view, at least Yue Fei should have considered himself magnanimous.
In this way, Yue Fei's "absolute affection" is also excusable, because his filial piety to his mother and loyalty to the country are recognized throughout the ages, and when his mother was critically ill, Yue Fei asked the imperial court for leave to take care of his mother full-time, and after the death of the old lady of yao, Yue Fei did not eat or drink for three days, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was seriously ill, and after burying his mother, he insisted on keeping filial piety for twenty-seven months. However, at that time, the military situation was urgent, and finally forced the Privy Council of the three provinces of the Southern Song Dynasty to order that all the generals of the Yue family army must ask Yue Fei to come back to take charge of military affairs, otherwise they would punish everyone in the name of missing the military plane. In this case, Yue Fei had no choice but to go out of the mountain, and this kind of behavior was called "moving filial piety and being loyal" in history, but it can be seen from this that Yue Fei's affection for his mother certainly cannot tolerate Liu's abandonment of his family.
Later, Yue Fei remarried Lady Li and gave birth to three sons, Yue Lin, Yue Ting, and Yue Zhen, and after Yue Fei and Yue YunfengBoting were killed, yue Lei died of hatred, the entire Yue family relied on Lady Li's hardships and hardships, and after exile in Lingnan, raised a number of children and grandchildren, and finally preserved the blood of the Yue family, and guarded the wisdom of Yue Fei's life.
