Speaking of Qin Hui, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is his cruelty to the anti-gold hero General Yue Fei. But Qin Hui was not a surrender faction from the beginning, but on the contrary, he was a main battle faction, and even resigned three times because the emperor sent a supervisor to cut land for an official position.
So, why did Qin Hui later become the Lord and the faction, and he also tried his best to denigrate the anti-Jin soldiers and became a generation of traitors? is obviously a notorious traitor who frames Zhongliang, what did he say that can make the teachers who teach and educate people a mantra?
The reversal of the life of the traitor Qin Hui
Qin Hui was born in an ordinary family of scholars, his father Qin Minxue once worked as a small county magistrate, although the family was poor, but his parents still insisted on Qin Hui receiving education.
Qin Hui was diligent and studious at a very young age, often soaking in the sea of books, and he spent all his time studying without playmates. Seeing that he was working so hard, his grandfather began to teach him to read the Four Books and the Five Classics to cultivate his interest in traditional culture. Under the careful tutelage of his parents and grandfather, Qin Hui gradually showed extraordinary talent, and was able to recite many classical works before the age of ten.
There was a county test in the village, Qin Hui and his father went to see the excitement, and the examiner came up with a question about the four books, and he blurted out the answer, which surprised the people present. Since then, Qin Hui has become famous in the village, and the villagers say that the Qin family has cultivated a prodigy.
When he was a teenager, Qin Hui successfully passed the county exam and became a showman. It was a great joy that there was a show in the village, and the villagers also held a grand celebration banquet for him, and everyone was happy for the Qin family.
Qin Hui wanted to get ahead in the imperial examination, and for this goal, he read a lot of books on imperial examination strategies to understand the skills of taking the examination. Every year when he goes to Beijing for the examination, he wears a newly made court dress, hoping to attract attention in the examination room.
It's a pity that I have hit a wall many times and failed repeatedly. Later, he had low self-esteem and discouragement, feeling that he was not talented enough. His parents comforted him that he had to stick to his ambition, as long as he didn't give up, he would succeed one day. Qin Hui rekindled his fighting spirit, taught himself skills, and practiced a good hand. He believes that as long as he works hard, the door to his career will be open to him.
In order to realize his ideals, he had to temporarily earn a living as a teacher in a private school. Most of Qin Hui's students are the children of officials, and they are used to a pampered life, and they don't take a poor talent in their eyes at all.
Qin Hui already had some inferiority complex because of repeated failures, so he was even more irritable in the face of such a student. He felt more and more that his talent had been buried and his ideals were drifting away. For a long time, Qin Hui had the idea of changing careers and planned to return to the countryside to farm for a long time.
On this day, several students made trouble in the classroom again, and Qin Hui was angry and yelled at them: "If you get 300 acres of paddy fields, you won't be the king of monkeys this time!" These two lines of poetry express his dissatisfaction with the status quo and his vision for the future, and become a true portrayal of his heart. These two sentences were later used by many teachers to ridicule their disobedient students.
Later, Qin Hui finally broke through layers of obstacles through his own efforts and stepped onto the stage of his career. When he first joined the government, he actively put forward the idea of defending the border and fighting the main battle for the emperor, showing the political enthusiasm of a promising young man. But the good times didn't last long, he suffered many blows in the court, and gradually lost his idealistic mentality.
When the emperor sent him to take charge of the reparation for the land cession, he wrote three times to ask for his resignation, but unfortunately the emperor did not accept it. In this case, Qin Hui chose to compromise and began to move closer to power. The transformation from an idealist to a realist was his first turning point in his life.
In order to get the emperor's reuse, Qin Hui began to make friends with powerful people, open up relationships, and cling to power by any means. He became scheming and began to lay out himself to take the position. Finally, after a conspiracy, he succeeded in convincing the emperor that he was a loyal minister, replacing the original prime minister, and climbing to the top of power step by step.
But what Qin Hui gained was not fame, but infamy. Why did an idealistic young man become a traitor who framed the loyal and good? The toxicity of power changed him and ended his life. Qin Hui never imagined that he would fall from a loyal minister who fought the main battle to a traitor who betrayed his lord for glory, and even bore eternal infamy for this.
A change of mind after becoming a captive
At the time of the crisis of the Jin invasion of the south, Qin Hui advocated resisting the Jin soldiers and defending the country. However, the situation did not develop as he expected, the Jin army was strong, Bianjing was lost, and he himself was captured, which became the second turning point in his fate.
In the prisoner of war camp, Qin Hui experienced great humiliation. During the day, he was forced to do heavy manual labor, building fortifications for the enemy country and sorting out military supplies. He, a civil official, became a laborer, with a thick cocoon on his hands. At night, he was confined to a rudimentary cell, and endured verbal abuse and whipping by the jailers, which was excruciatingly painful.
Once upon a time, he was an idealistic Song official, but now he has been reduced to a slave of the enemy country, living like an animal. His pride and pride were trampled on, and a sense of humiliation filled his heart.
In his life of imprisonment, Qin Hui realized that if he wanted to survive in this cruel environment, he had to change his mentality and practices. He began to reflect on his idealism and realized that realpolitik needed to be more flexible and compromised.
In order to win the trust of the guards, he began to reveal some state secrets to the Jin people. He realizes that in order to gain the trust of the Jin people, he must show loyalty to the Jin nation.
The fear and despair of day after day finally wore out his last sense of justice and backbone. He abandoned the ideal of being loyal to his country, and instead tried every means to curry favor with the Jin people and gain a foothold in the enemy camp. He even took the initiative to advise the Jin army and help the Jin army attack the Song Dynasty.
A few years later, Qin Hui finally fled back to the Southern Song Dynasty. But the experience had turned him into a different person. He understands that in this turbulent era, if you want to survive, you must abandon your ideals and seek power by any means in order to save your life. In order to avoid being blamed, he made up the story of killing the guards and escaping, and re-embarked on his official career.
Framed Zhongliang
In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin State repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, and the vitality of the Song Dynasty was greatly damaged. Yue Fei, who was the deputy privy envoy at the time, won the hearts of the army, and led the Yuejia army to defeat the Jin soldiers and recover the lost territory several times. As everyone knows, during this period, most of the Southern Song Dynasty imperial family and government and opposition bureaucrats had lost their fighting spirit to resist Jin and save the country, and they hoped to negotiate an armistice and peace with Jin.
Qin Hui, the prime minister who actually held the power at that time, was a typical example. He did not hesitate to betray his national interests and vigorously promoted peace with the Jin State. And the righteous and awe-inspiring Yue Fei is incompatible with Qin Hui's concept of capitulation. In order to achieve the goal of peace, Qin Hui was determined to get rid of this confidant.
Qin Hui first used the excuse that his military merits were sufficient, and repeatedly ordered Yue Fei's class to return to the court. Yue Fei was unwilling and decided to continue the Northern Expedition. Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, Qin Hui began to frame Yue Fei for treason, and instructed the government and opposition bureaucrats to join forces to impeach him. Yue Fei resigned angrily in the face of slander. Qin Hui also designed to restore Yue Fei's military power, and then falsely accused him of plotting a rebellion.
Emperor Zhao Gousu of the Southern Song Dynasty was afraid of military power, and as soon as he heard about the rebellion, he immediately ordered Yue Fei to be arrested and imprisoned. In order to completely get rid of the troubles, Qin Hui ordered people to be secretly killed in prison.
Yue Fei was righteous and awe-inspiring all his life, loyal to the country, but was brutally framed by a traitorous villain. Later generations cursed Qin Hui's treachery, and forever remembered Yue Fei's loyalty and righteousness.
