Because Qin Juwan did not expect that Song Gaozong Zhao Zhuo still had a fatal move waiting for him.
In November of the twenty-fifth year of Shaoxing (1155 AD), Emperor Gaozong of Song personally visited the residence of the chancellor Qin Ju and went to visit Qin Juniper, who was already terminally ill at the time.
The next day, the Court of the Southern Song Dynasty issued an edict in which Qin Jujin was made the "King of Jiankang County", and at the same time, Qin Juniper's son Qin Xi was also named a young master.
As soon as the edict came out, countless envious eyes turned to Qin Xiangfu, after all, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there was basically no one who could be named a king with a different surname while he was alive, but Qin Ju was awarded this honor, and his son also became a young master, which is a great glory, how can people not envy?
However, on the night that Qin Juniper became a king with a different surname, he was once in power and the opposition, but he cried out for his life, could it be that Qin Xiangye died because he was too happy and excited? In fact, it was not, Qin Juniper was killed alive by anger.
As for why he would be killed by anger, it was because Qin Ju had never dreamed that Zhao Huo had already designed a big move that could kill him, and he didn't expect that Zhao Huo would actually be so yin.
As early as after Qin Juniper fell ill, Zhao Zhuo began to calculate how to give Qin Juniper a fatal blow.
Some people may find it strange that the historical Song Gaozong Zhao Shuo has not always worn a pair of pants with Qin Juniper? How many things that Zhao Zhuo was inconvenient to come forward with were not all handled by Qin Juniper?
For example, during the Shaoxing Peace Conference that year, in order to meet the unreasonable demands of the Jin people, and also to express his firm determination to negotiate peace with the Jin people, Zhao Zhuo not only relieved Yue Fei and Han Shizhong of their military powers, but also personally consulted with Qin Ju to jointly fabricate charges and put Yue Fei in prison.
Finally, it was also at the behest of Zhao Zhuo that Qin Ju was able to kill Yue Fei in the Fengbo Pavilion on the charge of "false accusations".
It can be said that without Zhao Shuo's instructions, Yue Fei would most likely not die, and in the same way, without Zhao Shuo's instructions, Qin Ju would not have been able to do such arrogance.
Since the two were the kind of "complicit" allies, why should it be said that Zhao Zhuo was deliberately plotting to attack Qin Juniper?
There are two general reasons for this problem, one is from Emperor Gaozong zhao himself, and the other is from Qin Juniper Qin Xiangye.
First of all, Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo, this person, has a very complicated personality, and the process of him sitting on the throne is also very tortuous, if there is no "Jing Kang difficulty" in that year, he has no chance to become an emperor.
On the first day of May in the second year of Jing Kang (1127 AD), Jin Bing left Kaifeng north with Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song, as well as thousands of Emperor Huizong of Song and female dependents, thus declaring the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, at that time, in Yingtianfu (present-day Shangqiu, Henan), there was also a considerable number of Song court clan forces, and the leader was Zhao Shuo, the King of Kang.
The reason why Zhao Shuo was here is to say that back at the end of the first year of Jing Kang, when the Jin soldiers had just besieged Kaifeng Province, Zhao Shuo, who was far away in Hebei, was appointed by the imperial court as the Grand Marshal of The Terracotta Army, and at the same time, the imperial court also ordered him to lead troops to rescue Kaifeng Province quickly.
However, Zhao Zhuo did not go to the rescue, but took his soldiers and moved first to the Daming Mansion and then to Dongping Province.
Dongping Province is in the territory of present-day Shandong, and Zhao Zhuo ran away from here for only one purpose, that is, to avoid the front of the Jin soldiers and watch it change, and his view of this view wiped out the Northern Song Dynasty.
After Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin were taken captive by Jin Bing, Zhao Zhuo, after careful consideration and the persuasion of his subordinates, finally ascended the throne as emperor at Ying Tianfu, and changed his era name to Jianyan, and the Southern Song Dynasty regime was thus established.
But after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhuo was very worried, what was he worried about? Worried about how to deal with Jin Guo, he did not think of defeating it completely with a single blow, for example, in the earliest days, Zhao Zhuo appointed Li Gang, the representative of the main war faction, as the prime minister, and the purpose was to defeat Jin Bing.
However, the use of Li Gang and other main battle factions was not out of Zhao Shuo's original intention, what he really wanted in his heart was to live a peaceful little life in a quiet corner.
The premise of a stable and small life is that the Golden Soldiers must be leveled, and as for the way of leveling, Zhao Zhuo naturally chose the negotiation of "not moving the sword soldiers".
Driven by this kind of thinking, Zhao Zhuo began to vigorously suppress the military generals, and actively negotiated peace with jinguo, and even, in order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to harm Zhongliang.
But there is a problem here, after all, Zhao Shuo is the emperor, he still cares about what others say about him, so at this time, he needs someone to help him do these unseemly things.
And Qin Ju was the most suitable candidate for Zhao Zhao, and there was no one.
Qin Jun's path of origin had a lot to do with bowing to the Jin state, as early as after the Jing Kang disaster, he was also taken captive to the north, he began to deliberately show favor to the Jin state, during which he also "won" the attention of the Jin people through bribery, and became one of the staff officers of the Jin state to attack the Great Song.
After he returned to the Song Dynasty, he regarded jin guo as his parents for regeneration, and openly proposed the peace talk strategy of dividing the north and the south in the southern Song dynasty, which won the heart of Emperor Gaozong of Song.
One is to abandon the national righteousness for the sake of the future, and the other is to find someone to come out for stability, and in this way, Zhao Zhuo and Qin Ju immediately hit it off and became the most determined pair of allies.
However, after the Shaoxing Peace Agreement was reached, Song Gaozong's mind began to change.
At that time, the military generals of the main war faction had been completely suppressed, and there was basically no voice in the court against Zhao Shuo's partial peace, but Zhao Shuo was still very troubled, and what was troubled was Qin Ju's growing power.
Since taking Qin Juniper as a confidant, Qin Juniper's position has skyrocketed, and after the Shaoxing Peace Conference, he has already been ranked as a Taishi, according to Zhao Shuo's idea, Qin Juniper at this time should be satisfied, after all, he wants power and power, and he wants status and status.
But Qin Ju was not satisfied, and when he was in power, a purge operation using his power secretly spread to the entire Southern Song Dynasty.
From the twelfth year of Shaoxing to the twenty-second year of Shaoxing, in the ten years before and after, Qin Ju successively degraded or dismissed more than forty ministers of the DPRK and China.
Among them, there were not only prime ministers who held important positions, but also capable officials of various departments, and they had one thing in common, that is, they had offended Qin Ju once.
In addition to these people, there were also many ministers who opposed Qin Juniper, who were accused of fabricating crimes by Qin Juniper and died tragically in prison.
In this constant crackdown on dissidents, Qin Juniper's power was getting bigger and bigger, and his henchmen were also getting more and more arrogant, and even later, among Qin Juniper's henchmen, some of Qin Juniper's henchmen proposed to Zhao Shuo that Qin Xiangye use the same "golden root car" as the emperor.
If it was just the random proposal of the people below, Zhao Zhuo would not think too much, the key problem was that qin ju just smiled indifferently after listening to such an over-the-top requirement.
How does this make Zhao Zhuo calm? Wouldn't it be necessary to wait for Qin Ju to lift him off the throne before he would react?
Therefore, in order to make his hard-won throne stable, Zhao Zhuo must take action, otherwise if it continues to develop like this, the Great Song Dynasty will change its surname to Qin.
However, unlike the way of dealing with the military generals, Zhao conceived of dealing with the old and treacherous Qin Juniper, and the means must be more sophisticated.
So, what kind of way should be adopted to eliminate the threat of Qin Juniper? After Zhao Zhuo's deliberation, he came to the final conclusion, that is, to kill.
Therefore, for a long time to come, what we saw was that Zhao Shuo continued to reward Qin Juniper, for example, in the fifteenth year of Shaoxing, Zhao Shuo gave Qin Juniper a mansion, and also personally came to the door to celebrate with Qin Juniper's family.
In addition, in the sixteenth year of Shaoxing, Qin Ju built a family temple, and after Zhao Zhuo knew about it, he gave Qin Juniper a sacrificial instrument for sacrifice, that is, from this time on, there was a precedent for the emperor to give sacrifice instruments to his courtiers.
In addition, Zhao Zhuo also crowned Qin Juniper as the Duke of Yiguo, and at the same time, ordered someone to make a portrait of Qin Juniper and personally praise him.
In addition to the various rewards for Qin Juniper himself, Zhao Zhuo did not forget that Qin Juniper's son, Qin Xi, the official to the Guanwen Temple, called the wind and rain in the middle of the court, and Qin Juniper's grandson Qin Xi was even more openly cheating in the scientific expedition, and not only did no one dare to ask questions afterwards, but also took up the post of revisionist of the Shilu Academy.
For a time, the scenery of Qin Xiangfu made the entire Southern Song Dynasty unmatched, and "knowing Qin Xiang but not Knowing Gaozong" was the true portrayal of that time.
There is a small story that very directly illustrates the strong financial resources and unparalleled status of Qin Juniper's family at that time, it is said that Qin Juniper's wife Wang Shi once went to the palace at the invitation of Empress Wu (Zhao Zhao's wife), during the banquet, on a steamed mullet, this mullet tasted delicious, but because it was produced from the coast, after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the continuous border wars, so there was little opportunity to eat.
Therefore, Empress Wu asked the Wang family if she had eaten, and as a result, the Wang family replied that she had not only eaten it, but also that there were many fish in her house, and promised to send several larger ones to the empress the next day.
When Wang Shi returned home, he told Qin Juniper about this matter, so that Qin Juniper was shocked on the spot, and quickly ordered his subordinates to load several large blue fish that were very similar to mullet and send them to the empress to dispel the empress's doubts.
So, is this expensive and not easy to eat mullet in Qin Juniper's home? Of course, there are, and more, because he does not want to be suspected, so he sent the big blue fish into the palace, in order to fool through the pass and avoid a storm.
From this story, it can be seen that qin ju at that time had much stronger than emperor Zhao Shuo, and the so-called "opening the door to be bribed, rich can be enemy of the country", said Qin Juniper.
In addition to sitting on a huge amount of wealth and holding a prominent power, Qin Ju also engaged in the work of falsifying history at that time in order to achieve and beautify his own goals.
According to History, Qin Ju had arranged for his son Qin Xi to be the secretary and deputy superintendent, specifically responsible for sorting out the history of the country, and after Qin Xi took office, he did his best to begin to revise all kinds of historical materials, and to eliminate and destroy all kinds of bad remarks involving his father Qin Juniper, including all kinds of edicts, chapters, etc., in short, all the black materials of Qin Juniper were completely eliminated.
In addition, when Qin Ju's health deteriorated in his later years, he also tried to completely eliminate those who opposed him, so as to pave the way for his descendants.
For example, in August of the year of Qin Jun's death, when he was still in good health, he successively threw the ministers Zhang Jun and Hu Yin into prison, and forced Zhao Fen, the son of Zhao Ding, a minister who had always opposed him, to falsely accuse Zhang Jun and Hu Yin of participating in the rebellion, with the intention of condemning them to death.
At that time, as many as fifty ministers were implicated in this case, and most of them were maliciously suppressed by Qin Jun.
For all this of Qin Juniper, did Song Gaozong Zhao Zhuo know it? Of course, he knew, but he didn't yet have the confidence to deal with the mighty Qin Juniper, so all he could do was wait.
What was Zhao Zhao waiting for? He was waiting for the moment when the main heart of the Qin family, that is, Qin Juniper's breath, would come.
Since August of the twenty-fifth year of Shaoxing, Qin Juniper's illness has become more and more serious, to say that the specific historical records of the disease are not recorded, but it is probably some geriatric diseases, after all, at that time he was already a rare old man.
Moreover, according to the "History of Song", in early September of that year, when Qin Ju was handling the case of Zhao Fen and others, because the conviction document needed him to confirm, the relevant officials came to Qin Juniper's home and asked him to sign the document.
However, at that time, Qin Juniper's illness was already quite serious, and it was said that even the pen for signing could not be picked up.
This news reached Zhao Shuo's ears through some channel, which made Zhao Shuo very excited, and he couldn't even pick up the pen when he signed it, which indicated that Qin Ju was already dying soon.
However, in order to prevent Qin Ju from acting for Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo decided to go to see if this was true.
Therefore, there was a scene mentioned above, Zhao Zhuo came to the Qin Mansion, and Ming came to comfort Qin Juniper's condition, in fact, to explore the truth.
The results of the visit made Zhao Shuo very satisfied, at that time, Qin Ju's words were already unable to speak, and when he saw Zhao Shuo coming, he only tightly held Zhao Shuo's hand, and the tears flowed unceasingly.
It seemed that Qin Ju was really terminally ill, and even so, Zhao Shuo could start his plan.
After "visiting" Qin Juniper, Zhao Shuo returned to the palace and drafted an edict overnight, which was the aforementioned edict that crowned Qin Juniper as a king with a different surname, and the son of Qin Juniper as a young master.
However, at the end of the edict, Zhao Zhuo deliberately added three big characters, which were "All Zhishi".
This was Zhao Shuo's plan, he took advantage of the opportunity to make Qin Ju a king with a different surname, and ordered Qin Ju and his son Qin Xi to zhishi, and the so-called Zhishi, to put it bluntly, was to let them roll up and leave.
In other words, Zhao Zhuo told Qin Ju unequivocally that your time has passed, and the Great Song Dynasty no longer needs you, so what should you do?
Zhao Shuo's sudden change of attitude surprised Qin Ju, he knew that Zhao Shuo had a lot of criticism of him in recent years, but he thought that he was deeply rooted, and he had carefully cultivated many henchmen, and even more in the DPRK, he Zhao Shuo did not dare to treat himself like this no matter what.
Moreover, when Zhao Shuo came to visit him Qin Ju, Qin Xi tentatively proposed to take over the position in place of his father, although Zhao Shuo did not agree at that time, but Qin Xi had already urgently contacted some of the dead parties, ready to force Zhao Shuo to obey and agree to his request.
Therefore, Qin Ju calculated and thought that the scenery of the Qin family would continue, and most importantly, he was too familiar with Zhao Shuo, and he knew that Zhao Shuo did not have the courage to abandon the Qin family.
But he did not think that the development of the matter was far beyond Qin Juniper's expectations, and Zhao Zhuo was like an old hunter who had been planning for a long time, and hit Qin Juniper's key point with one move.
Once ordered to shi, then the scenery of the Qin family will no longer exist, and the former power and status will also disappear, and the next result is that the Qin family is completely overthrown to the ground, and there is no possibility of turning over.
If Qin Juniper was not terminally ill, then all this was not enough to be afraid, he had the confidence to let the Qin family return to the peak again, but the reality was that Qin Juniper's life at this moment had to be counted down to the countdown, and he did not have the time and opportunity to let the Qin family turn over.
Therefore, what was left for the Qin family was to be suppressed and purged after Qin Juniper's death, and everything was completely lost.
Thinking of this, and looking back on his life's painstaking drilling camp, it was not easy to exchange for the situation that power is now tilted toward the opposition, but it collapsed overnight, Qin Xiangye was quite unwilling, and under the annoyance in his heart, a mouthful of old blood gushed out, and finally, swallowed the last breath.
