In the third year of Shaoxing (1133), Emperor Gaozong of Song also personally wrote "Jingzhong Yue Fei" and made a battle flag to give Yue Fei to reward him for his military merits and loyalty to the imperial court. Eight years later, yue Fei was killed by an edict. What really happened during this time? Let Emperor Gaozong of Song hate Yue Fei to the bone and get rid of him. Let's explore a few events.
In the second year of Jingkang (1127), two major events occurred, the first of which was the "Change of Jingkang". The Jin Dynasty went south to attack the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo, and abducted Hui and the Second Emperor of Qin, leading to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. The second was that Zhao Zhao, who was still the King of Kang at the time, fled to Nanjing to claim the title of emperor at Yingtianfu (present-day Shangqiu, Henan), and became the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Southern Song Dynasty had just been established and was extremely unstable. There were Jin soldiers on the outside and bandits on the inside, which greatly threatened the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty. After much deliberation, Emperor Gaozong of Song had to violate the ancestral family law of "suppressing military generals" and began to use military generals heavily. Yue Fei, who was skilled in martial arts and thorough in martial arts, also emerged in this year as the commander of the Tokyo Left Guard Division, at the age of 24.
When Yue Fei took office, he was full of strong desires and ambitions to recover his homeland and unify the motherland, but he forgot that he was only a low-level officer now, and he wrote a letter to the emperor over the rank, presumably hoping that Zhao Zhuo would "still open the seal" and "personally conscript the Jin army and recover the lost land" and "personally conscript the Jin army and recover the lost land." This made Zhao Zhuo, who had been worried about the Golden Soldier's tiger and had only just escaped from the Golden Soldier Iron Horse, was still very angry. What's more, although Zhao Zhuo began to recruit military generals, he used civilian officials more heavily. Therefore, the result can be imagined, Zhao Zhuo did not pay attention to Yue Fei's request, but instead cut off Yue Fei's military post on the grounds of ""overstepping his post". This was also the first time That Yue Fei had offended Zhao Zhao.
In the spring of the fourth year of Jianyan (1130), the Jin soldiers withdrew north, and they missed the best time to eliminate the Southern Song dynasty. Emperor Gaozong of Song took advantage of this precious respite to exert his strength to quell several domestic rebellions, divide the country, stabilize the regime, and survive the critical moment of life and death. And Yue Fei was also recommended and reused by Zhang Jun, and was able to make many meritorious contributions on the battlefield.
In the third year of Shaoxing (1133), Yue Fei was ordered to suppress the peasant rebels in Ji'an and Ganzhou, Jiangxi, and Zhao Zhuo was very happy and in a good mood, and personally wrote the four characters of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" to Give Yue Fei, and promoted him to be the envoy of the Zhennan Army and the envoy of jiangnan west road along the river.
According to historical records, Emperor Zhao Zhuo was quite happy at that time, and talked to Yue Fei very kindly: "'When do you think the world can be at peace?'" Yue Fei replied, "If Wenchen doesn't love money, and a military general is not afraid of death, he can live in peace." Zhao Shuo was very shocked that Yi Jie Wufu could have such an opinion, and at the same time, he also looked up to Yue Fei a lot. After that, Yue Fei continued to be knighted, and all the way to the Far Army, the relationship between the monarch and the subject seemed to have reached a harmonious point.
In the seventh year of Shaoxing (1137), the relationship between the monarch and the subject was once again rigid. Yue Fei, who had already become a lieutenant, repeatedly talked to Zhao Shuo about "recovering the lost land in the north", but how could he expect that Zhao Shuo, who was still ambitious, suddenly changed his face, and he was already planning to send Qin Ju to negotiate with the Jin Army and prepare for peace. This made Yue Fei how to accept it, he saw that he could not persuade Zhao Shuo, so he and Zhang Jun "discussed the matter of moving the army", but even the emperor changed his attention, and such behavior also made Yue Fei jealous and was once again dismissed from the military power. Yue Fei was furious and left the army and returned to Lushan in the name of "guarding filial piety for his mother". This was undoubtedly another challenge to the monarchy, and at this time, Zhao Shuo, who was bent on negotiating peace, could be said to be very dissatisfied with Yue Fei, who was the main battle, but in the end Yue Fei was also a loyal and trusted military minister to the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally Zhao Shuo had to "issue several edicts" to persuade Yue Fei to return to the dynasty.
