Yue Fei, the chief general of the Southern Song Dynasty, died in the prison of Lin'an City, and how did his body cross the city after death?
Qin Hui designed to frame Yue Fei and let Yue Fei die unjustly in prison in Lin'an City. Yue Fei's son Yue Yun and his generals were also executed at Zhong'an Bridge. Yue Fei died in Kaifeng prison, so the body should be disposed of by the government, but Yue Fei's remains disappeared in prison. According to the records of the ruins of the dynasty, Yue Fei's body was smuggled out by a jailer named Kui Shun and buried next to the Jiuqu Cong Temple. Kui Shunzheng also marked Yue Fei's tomb so that Yue Fei's bones could be found and buried after he was rehabilitated in the future.
In the 21 years since Yue Fei's death, until the period of redressing the wrong, there have been different accounts about where he hid. According to folklore, Yue Fei's body was buried under the Zhong'an Bridge in Hangzhou, which was a downtown area during the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was buried here, which is difficult not to attract the attention of the government, and it is not in line with the statement that he walked across the city, so this statement is mostly untrue. 21 years after Yue Fei's death, many people demanded that Yue Fei be rehabilitated, and finally during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of Song, Yue Fei was rehabilitated.
And Emperor Xiaozong also gave Emperor Gaozong enough face, pretending to be in accordance with Emperor Gaozong's holy will, to restore Yue Fei's official title and reputation. The government found Yue Fei's remains through Kui Shun's descendants and moved them to the shores of Hangzhou's West Lake, which is the real reason why Yue Fei's body crossed the city. Yue Fei's tomb has been repaired several times later, and it still maintains the architectural style of the Southern Song Dynasty, allowing future generations to pay their respects.
