Forming a party for personal gain, framing Zhongliang, cutting land and paying reparations for peace, and fulfilling the great prison, why is Qin Huan, a sinner of the ages, still considered a loyal courtier?
Qin Hui is a very smart person, and he was admitted to the top class at the age of only 25. Even at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty and Song Qinzong wanted to cede land for peace, Qin Hui was still an out-and-out main war faction, and a group of ministers strongly opposed the cession of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian. Of course, no matter how talented Qin Hui was, he could not hide that he was an out-and-out traitor. Among the charges he was denounced by the people, the most indignant one was the murder of Yue Fei on trumped-up charges. At that time, Han Shizhong, a general who was as famous as Yue Fei, angrily asked Qin Hui how to convince the world of the three words "unnecessary"? Since then, the three words "unwarranted" have gone down in history and become synonymous with catching the wind and framing others in later generations. However, even if the facts are in front of everyone, some people insist that in that feudal society where imperial power is supreme, Qin Hui is only a substitute monarch. The one who wanted to kill Yue Fei more was Emperor Gaozong of Song and Zhao Shu.
Strangely, in 2006, it suddenly rumored on the Internet that a number of cultural relics about Qin Juniper had been unearthed in the archaeological community, including Qin Juniper's personal will, expressing his willingness to bear the name of traitor. However, such rumors quickly disappeared, and the author finally refuted the rumors were all made up. And those who whitewashed Qin Hui once again argued to the world, advocating that although the way of cutting land and paying reparations was humiliating, it brought long-lost calm to the Southern Song Dynasty. I have to say that such a statement is a bit sophistry. Leaving aside this calm, this calm is only temporary. From another point of view, if Yue Fei had not been killed, according to the situation that the war between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Army had already prevailed at that time, who said that the Southern Song Dynasty would not have calmed down after the war? There are even historical sources that say that the Jin Dynasty transported the treasures of Yanjing to the north, intending to abandon the territory of southern Yan. It's just that looking at the overall historical situation, the so-called loyal ministers are also limited to Emperor Gaozong of Song and Zhao Zhi, and for Zhao Ding, Yue Fei and other military generals who were persecuted to death and the people of Li Min, Qin Hui is an out-and-out traitor. But the problem is, judging from the first half of Qin Hui's life, he seems to have never shown his face as a traitor, so why did he become one of the most famous traitors in history?
From the spirited champion to the notorious traitor, what exactly did Qin Hui go through? It all starts with the shame of Jingkang. At that time, the two emperors of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong and a large number of courtiers, concubines, and princesses were all taken away by the Jin people, and Qin Hui was one of them. The golden people treated them like cattle and horses, and the moment of teasing and insulting happened to them, and the vast majority of captives chose to commit suicide under such humiliation. However, after the baptism of the Jin people were cruel, Qin Hui chose to put down his principles, not only helped Emperor Huizong write the peace book, but also asked the Marshal of the Jin State to complete Yan Zonghan's tail and beg for mercy, Zong Han recommended him to Jin Taizong, and later became a staff sergeant under Jin Taizong's younger brother Finish Yanchang, following the Jin army all the way south to attack, and even helped the Jin army write a letter of persuasion to Chuzhou during the period, even Jin Wushu and Yan Zongbi invited him as a guest. Four years after Jianyan, Qin Hui suddenly returned to the Southern Song Dynasty intact, claiming that he had killed the prisoner who monitored him, so he took the opportunity to escape back, but brought back his family, slaves and a large amount of property, which was also an important reason why the Song people once suspected Qin Hui of treason. However, the prime minister at that time, Fan Zhanyin, actually believed it. Fan Zhongyin had a fatal weakness, extremely superstitious about his control, and very naturally accepted Qin Hui's generous gift, and even introduced Qin Hui to Emperor Gaozong of Song.
This meeting also became a stepping stone for Qin Hui to become a traitor. From then on, Qin Hui began to attack political enemies in a big way, first crossing the river and demolishing bridges, causing Fan Zhongyin to rebel, so he had to resign, and then controlled the two Taiwan advisory institutions, the Imperial History Terrace and the Counselor's Yuan. The Taijian was an institution that had been in place since the Qin Dynasty to supervise officials, and was an important tool for the emperor to heal hundreds of officials and maintain centralized power. Qin Hui used the imperial adviser to cover the sky with one hand, persecuted the ministers who had revenge with him in every way, and signed various policies such as cutting land and paying reparations. Therefore, whether Qin Hui strictly carried out the orders of his superiors, or whether he had the idea of blackmailing and retaliating. Qin Hui had all these behaviors in the second half of his life, and he was nailed to the pillar of shame of the traitor. However, even if Qin Hui eventually fell in power, he could not escape the fate of being seriously ill. But what you may not know is that Qin Huan's death is not as simple as you think, what is going on?
What makes people indignant is that Qin Hui did indeed die of illness, and history records that Emperor Gaozong of Song also went to visit Qin Hui when he was seriously ill, and the two were speechless, and Qin Hui burst into tears. Don't think what a warm scene this is, because after Song Gaozong left the Qin Mansion, he turned around and ordered Qin Hui to be named the King of Health County, and even his son Qin Xi was also named a young master, and the routine of rising and secretly descending was pinched by Song Gaozong, you must know that Qin Hui as an ambitious prime minister, originally wanted to continue the glory of the family, ready to let Qin Xi take over his position as prime minister. Even Qin Xi had reached an agreement with Qin Huan's henchmen in private, and recommended Qin Xi to Emperor Gaozong of Song as prime minister the next day. However, it all ended before it even began. Emperor Gaozong of Song went to see Qin Hui not to care about him at all, but to make sure that he had no medicine and no medical treatment, and no longer had any use value, so he would immediately issue an edict to take away Qin Hui from the position of prime minister, and even Qin Qi also entered the cold palace together, this behavior of crossing the river and demolishing bridges eventually led to Qin Hui being killed, and even directly caused the entire Qin family to fall into a situation of irreparable disaster.
However, regardless of whether this speculation is true or not, I can only say that Qin Hui also deserves it. Judging from the final game between Song Gaozong and Qin Juniper, Qin Juniper is not loyal to Song Gaozong, and Song Gaozong is always on guard against Qin Juniper, and the two are more likely to use each other, after all, Qin Huizong wants to make peace with Jin Ren, and Song Gaozong does not want to welcome back the second brother of Huiqing, and the two have the same goal. And once Qin Hui loses his use value, it is not surprising that he will eventually have such a result, after all, becoming a traitor is his own chosen path, he can only and only deserve to kneel in front of Yue Fei Temple and be scolded by all the people, it is estimated that as long as human beings exist, he should not be able to stand up.
