Yue Fei is an anti-gold general who loyally serves the country, and wrongly kills the traitor villain because he is framed. This is the strangest injustice ever. After Yue Fei's death, his traitors Qin Huan, Emperor Gaozong of Song, and Zhao Shu framed him, angering everyone in the Yue family. From then on, the Yue family, the Zhao family and the Qin family swore not to marry and never marry.
At the insistence of Qin Hui and Zhao Shu, they would not even let Yue Fei's relatives and heirs go, and they all followed. Fortunately, Yue Fei's close friend came to the rescue and saved Yue Fei's son's life. And out of gratitude, the Yue family actually set the ancestral motto of not marrying two for their girlfriend's family. What happened?
Friends help
In 1141, Trump and his eldest son Yue Yun were framed and killed, and the entire Yue family was brutally exiled. After the news broke, many soldiers and generals who followed him were angry, and some even covered their faces and wept, feeling sorry for the unjust death of the national hero.
Yue Fei's wife and children were exiled to the miasma-ridden, hot, humid Lingnan region. The conditions in Lingnan are difficult and adults can endure, but the delicate children really can't stay. Therefore, Yue Fei's wife protected his 12-year-old third son, Yue Lin, from Lingnan.
After the incident was exposed, the traitor Qin Hui was furious. In order to kill all the Yue Fei family and make Yue Fei's descendants unable to take revenge, he hurriedly ordered the use of naval arrest documents in various places, promising to capture Yue Lin. Before Yue Fei's death, a friend named Gong Zuwen was also wanted by the court. When Yue Fei was killed, he cried so much that he couldn't sleep or eat. After learning that Yue Lin was being chased and killed, he was extremely anxious in his heart. He was worried that Qin Hui's people would arrest Yue Lin.
So he immediately sent his henchmen on the road, and after unremitting searching, he finally found Yue Lin, who had a high fever and was unconscious in the reeds he had sealed. Gong Zuwen quickly pulled Yue Lin, and then found a piece of paper in Yue Lin's hand, he held it tightly, and said, "Brother Zuwen sees the words like faces, and if Lin'er can prove it, he will definitely be rewarded." in the next life".
When Gong Zuwen saw this note, he immediately understood that it was the Yue Fei family's unwavering trust in him that allowed Yue Lin to run to his fief. Thinking of this, Gong Zuwen couldn't help but think of the old man who died in vain. Friend Yue Fei burst into tears. He was determined to fulfill the duties of the Yue family and vowed to die to preserve this bloodline for the Yue family.
So, Gongzuwen quietly hid Yue Lin in the army to recuperate. But he was worried that many soldiers would leak secrets, so he voluntarily retired to his hometown in his later years. Originally, Song Gaozong took a fancy to Gong Zuwen's talent and wanted to keep him, but Qin Hui had long been unaccustomed to Gong Zuwen and wanted him to leave early, so he repeatedly slandered and fanned the flames around Song Gaozong, and finally became a sinister person. Coincidentally, Gong Zuwen's wish came true, and he successfully retired and returned to China.
However, Gong Zuwen, who returned to his hometown in old age and returned to his hometown, always felt a little uneasy in his heart. Worried about his exposure, he moved his family to Liutang in Qu'a County, almost catching up with the situation of "Meng's mother three migrations", which is enough to show that Gongzuwen attaches great importance to Yue Lin, perhaps it is said that he treats Yue Lin as his own child, carefully teaches and cultivates, and hopes that Yue Lin will become a talent.
Not only that, after Yue Lin became an adult, Gong Zuwen also personally selected a cultured, sensible, beautiful and intelligent woman to marry him. The couple loved and harmoniously, had four sons and a daughter, and continued Yue Fei's bloodline. However, Gong Zuwen still had an unfulfilled wish, that is, to see Yue Fei correct it with his own eyes. Fortunately, this wish was finally fulfilled during his lifetime.
Yue Fei was rehabilitated
In 1155, Qin Hui died of illness. Zhang Xiaoxiang, Gong Zuwen and others immediately wrote a letter asking Yue Fei to be rehabilitated. However, under the pretext of safeguarding the dignity of the imperial court, Wan Qixi used the power of the prime minister to slander Zhao Gaozong and Zhao Zhi and resigned from Yue Fei's job. Rehabilitation. In 1161, King Yanliang of Jin launched a large-scale southern invasion, and anti-Jin sentiment in the Southern Song Dynasty was high. People once again miss Yue Fei, an anti-gold general, for his loyal service to the country.
It is a pity that the hero has passed away, and there is no hero in the whole dynasty who can fight against the golden people and wash away Jingkang's shame like Yue Fei. As a result, many judicial officials wrote letters demanding Yue Fei's acquittal, and even soldiers signed petitions to settle Yue Fei's grievances. For a time, the scene of grievances was thunderous. Wang Che comforted them for a long time, but to no avail. Until he agreed to report the matter to the court, people were still crying.
In 1162, Emperor Xiaozong of Song ascended the throne and directly decreed that Yue Fei's original official position and title be restored and reburied according to regulations. This year, Yue Lin was 32 years old. When he heard the news of his father's recovery, he couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude. Yue Lin was also able to return to the imperial court, and due to the improvement of his ability, he gradually held important posts such as Shangshu of the military department and Guangdong economic envoy.
Because Qin Hui destroyed and corroded a large amount of historical materials about Yue Fei and the Yue family's army, Yue Lin collected his father's remains from many sources, filled in the gaps in historical records, and finally compiled the first draft of Yue Fei's biography. After Yue Lin's death, the family mission of writing a biography for Yue Fei was left to his son Yue Ke. In the end, it was perfected by Yue Ke, restoring part of the historical truth.
In order to commemorate the protection of his grandfather Yue Fei and his father, and to thank Gong Zuwen for protecting Zhongliang's descendants, Yue Ke specially built a temple of retribution in Liuru Village, which later became the Gong Ancestral Hall.
Why can't Gong Yue's family get married?
Of course, Yue Lin already regarded Gong Zuwen as her second biological father. Without Gong Zuwen's life-saving grace, Yue Lin would not have survived. Therefore, for Yue Lin, he already regarded Gongzuwen as his relative. After seeing the sky again, he also told many people what Gongzuwen had done. For a while, Gong Zuwen's deeds of raising the descendants of heroes and martyrs were considered good stories. In 1182, Gong Zuwen died, and Emperor Xiaozong of Song posthumously created him the title "Duke of Wen" in recognition of his military merits and the protection of Zhongliang's descendants.
In order to repay Gong Zuwen for his nurturing grace, Yue Lin decided that from now on, the Gong family and the Yue family would be a family, and the descendants of the Gong family would also enjoy the same treatment as the descendants of the Yue family. As a result, the descendants of Gong and Yue became a family, and the ancestral precept that intermarriage was forbidden was applied. The descendants of the two families have always strictly adhered to this ancestral precept and have never violated it.
The ancestral hall of the Yue family is still placed in the ancestral hall of Gongzuwen to express the gratitude of Yue Lin's descendants to Gongzuwen. Later, when the "Genealogy of the Yue Clan" was reviewed by the descendants of the Yue clan, Gong Shoukang, a descendant of Gong Zuwen, came to the scene to assist in the review despite his old age and infirmity and frequent business trips. This is enough to see the deep affection between the two families.
Why did Gong Zuwen go to great lengths to help the Yue family?
So who is Gongzuwen, and why did he spare no effort to help the Yue family? Speaking of Gong Zuwen, he is a descendant of Zigong, a disciple of Confucius. In order to prevent Qin Shi Huang from burning books and punishing Confucianism, his ancestors lived in seclusion in the State of Qi. They later lived in Changyuan, Henan, known as the "hometown of Chinese chefs". Yue Fei's hometown of Tangyin County is very close.
Gong Zuwen has been clever since childhood, and knows ancient and modern poetry. When he was nineteen years old, when he saw Jin Bing's invasion of the south, he did not hesitate to leave his own writings and join the army. He gathered a group of brave men to rescue and capture Hui and Qin, who had been captured by Jin soldiers. Another emperor. Later, he joined the volunteer army under King Kang and became a life-and-death comrade with Yue Fei.
During this period, Gong Zuwen and Yue Fei became a pair of diehards. The two like-minded people who serve the country often drink and write poems together, talk freely about ancient and modern times, and passionately lead troops to fight bloody battles. They also advocate each other loyally, vowing to share life and death, happiness and suffering, and be like brothers.
Therefore, when Yue Fei died, he was heartbroken and cried loudly, feeling like he had lost a loved one. After finding Yue Lin, he risked his life, abandoned his glory and wealth, and was willing to raise Yue Lin and cultivate him into a talent. When he learned that Yue Fei had been rehabilitated, Gong Zuwen was even more excited. He also held a special drinking party to pay homage to the heavens and pour out his heart to his deceased best friend.
Today, whether it is Yue Fei's loyalty to the country or the friendship between Yue Fei and Gong Zuwen, it reflects the eternity of the core of the spirit of loyalty and is a precious wealth of Chinese culture.
