Yue Fei, the hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, was falsely accused and imprisoned by Qin Hui , Zhang Jun and other adulterers, and was ordered to die by Emperor Gaozong of Song in 1142 on trumped-up charges. After Emperor Xiaozong of Song ascended the throne, he rehabilitated him and moved his grave, and was later posthumously honoured as King of E.
And the big traitor who murdered Yue Fei, Qin Huan, lived to the age of 66, died of natural illness, and was crowned King Shen. However, after Song Ningzong ascended the throne, he removed Qin Hui from his title and changed his original nickname to "fallacious ugly" full of insults.
In the people, Qin Hui was even more unpopular, and later generations angrily scolded him for framing Zhongliang, and specially sculpted the kneeling statue of Qin Hui and his wife in front of Yue Fei's tomb, so that he could repent of Yue Fei forever.
The descendants of Qin Hui who were innocently involved
In the Qing Dynasty, a descendant of Qin Hui was admitted to the top rank, but because of his relationship with Qin Juniper, he was once questioned by the Qianlong Emperor.
When he was invited to worship at Yue Fei's tomb with his friends, he was also harassed by his companions, but this champion was very clever, and immediately composed two poems, and everyone present listened to him and sighed at his talent and pattern, and his poems were also spread all over the streets and alleys, and were praised by posterity.
This descendant of Qin Juniper is called Qin Dashi, who is the champion of Qianlong for seventeen years, and his poetry, books, and paintings are excellent, which can be called three exceptions. Qin was intelligent and studious since childhood, and was able to compose poetry at the age of 10, and his calligraphy was also famous.
Qin Dashi was admitted to the Jiangnan Gongyuan at the age of 23, but he did not feel proud and unenterprising, he continued to study hard, and finally became a high school champion at the age of 38.
According to the custom, Qin Dashi entered the Hanlin Academy to work, taught the compilation, and revised the national history for the Great Qing Dynasty.
At first, when Qin Dashi was summoned by Qianlong, Qianlong was quite dissatisfied with his identity as a descendant of Qin Hui and asked him what he thought of his identity. Qin Dashi hurriedly said: One son of heaven and one courtier.
Qin Dashi said that Emperor Gaozong of Song could reuse Qin Hui because he himself was a comatose monarch, but Qianlong was a Ming Jun, and naturally understood that Qin Huan's descendants were not necessarily the same as him.
After hearing this, Qianlong felt that it made sense, and at the same time was very satisfied with his talent, so he made him an examiner for the imperial examination to select talents for the Great Qing.
Qing officials from the Qin family
Qin Dashi did not live up to the holy grace, and the talents who came out of his hands were either loyal generals or scholars with real materials. Qianlong also made him a teacher for the princes, giving full play to his talents.
Soon after becoming the champion, Qin Dashi traveled to West Lake with his friends, and Emperor Xiaozong of Song rehabilitated Yue Fei and moved his tomb to this vicinity.
When Qin Dashi's group arrived at West Lake, they naturally went to Yue Fei's tomb by the way. When they saw the kneeling statue of Qin Hui and his wife, everyone pointed at Qin Hui and criticized him as a traitor.
Although hundreds of years had passed since Qin Hui killed Yue Fei, this still made Qin Dashi on the side a little embarrassed.
One of the friends suddenly thought of Qin Daishi's identity, so he deliberately teased him and asked him if he could write a poem about this scene.
The accompanying poet Yuan Mu saw it, and quickly came out to relieve him, and first chanted: "People and the Song Empress are shameful."
Seeing this, Master Qin generously took the next sentence: "I am ashamed of my surname Qin before the grave." As soon as this sentence came out, the friends who were traveling with him and the passers-by who were watching the excitement around them all applauded.
They applauded not only Qin Dashi's talent, but also his mind and pattern, as well as his courage to repent for his ancestors.
Qin Dashi was loyal, honest and incorruptible, and he was always meticulous in advising the prince to study, fulfilling his responsibilities as a teacher, and was deeply trusted by Qianlong.
In the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong, Qin Dashi resigned and returned home, and no longer asked about all the affairs of the dynasty, and Qianlong felt a deep pity.
In the thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth years of Qianlong, Qin Dashi twice entered Beijing to celebrate the birthday of Qianlong and the Empress Dowager, and the ministers of the imperial court strongly urged him to return as an official, but Qin Dashi refused.
Perhaps he has experienced the ups and downs of officialdom and is tired of watching all kinds of open and secret battles, Qin Dashi just wants to hide at home. However, during the leisure period at home, Qin Dashi was not completely idle, and he also went to Longcheng Academy to take charge and continue to engage in teaching and educating people.
In fact, although Qin Dashi is a descendant of Qin Huan, he is not his direct descendant. He is a descendant of Qin Hui's brother Qin Zi, plus after hundreds of years of changes, he has little to do with Qin Hui. Moreover, Qin Zi and Qin Hui were not the same people back then.
When Qin Hui framed Yue Fei, Qin Zi saw that he couldn't be persuaded, and resolutely broke off relations with him. This should be placed in modern times, Qin Dashi and Qin Hui are distant relatives who can't fight the edge.
But the ancients had a strong sense of clan, and those written into the family tree were all family, so only in the Qing Dynasty believed that Qin Dashi was a descendant of Qin Juniper.
Hanging the title of Qin Juniper's descendants, Qin Dashi was more or less negatively affected, because not everyone was as patterned as Qianlong and knew how to make good use of people.
Fortunately, Qin Dashi is very smart, very good at protecting his life, with excellent morality and extraordinary talent, he has left a famous name for himself, and the two poems he left in front of Yue Fei's tomb have also become a good story in West Lake.
Today, Qin Dashi's hometown Nanjing, Qinhuai District's Changle Road, you can still see Qin Dashi's former residence, this old house that has experienced more than 300 years of ups and downs, is also a very meaningful landscape in Nanjing.
