He stole the tomb of the traitor Qin Hui!
There was a tomb robber in the Ming Dynasty who was not afraid of death, and he stepped on the bottom line of the law and touched all the gold and silver treasures in the ancient tomb, but he did not have the slightest remorse after being caught.
Not only was the official not angry, but he also acquitted the person, and the people applauded one after another.
This strange phenomenon is really confusing, it turns out that everything is because the tomb robber chose the tomb of the traitor Qin Hui!
What is the truth?
The traitor Qin Hui provoked people's revival
Qin Hui was once a prominent politician and diplomat who advocated fighting to the end when the Jin soldiers invaded, and also resigned from his post because he opposed the land cession and peace. So why did he fall to the miserable end of everyone shouting and beating?
Qin Hui was born in a small official family in Nanjing, Jiangsu, and was full of poetry and books since childhood. At the age of 25, he won high school and became a rising star in the political arena of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was also a calligrapher, and his calligraphy attainments were comparable to those of famous masters such as Su Huangmi. In that era, if someone could get Qin Hui's appreciation, they would undoubtedly be worth a lot.
Fate did not seem to be kind to this talented man, and when the Jin soldiers invaded the Northern Song Dynasty, Qin Hui firmly stood on the side of the main battle faction, and tried his best to write to Song Qinzong, advising him not to show weakness to the Jin State. However, his loyalty was not recognized by Song Qinzong, and he was instead sent to the military attaché to listen to orders, which made him deeply humiliated. He resigned three times in succession, but he never got rid of the tricks of fate. In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the situation was turbulent, in the face of the invasion of the Jin State, Song Qinzong convened a hundred civil and military officials to vote, Qin Hui resolutely opposed the land cession and peace, but when the Hui and Qin Emperors were captured by the Jin State, he was not spared, and was arrested in the Jin camp together.
In those dark days, Qin Hui's outlook on life and values underwent earth-shaking changes. In the Jin camp, he became a lazy confidant and was responsible for persuading the Song army to surrender. At this time, Qin Hui had completely deviated from the beliefs and ideals he adhered to at the beginning, and embarked on the road of betraying the country to seek glory.
After returning to the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Hui unscrupulously colluded with the Jin people to frame Zhongliang and brutalize the people. He maintained a state of peace talks with the envoys of the Jin State, and if he found out that the army of any general was overwhelmed, he would conspire with Song Gaozong to recall him. Yue Fei, a hero who served the country wholeheartedly, was framed to death by Qin Hui under this conspiracy.
Qin Hui's life is full of tragedy, from a passionate patriot to a traitor who betrays the interests of the country, his transformation is embarrassing. What led him to this point of no return? Was it the tribulation of the Golden Camp or the temptation of power? We have no way of knowing. But what is certain is that Qin Hui's name will forever be engraved on the pillar of shame in Chinese history.
Yue Fei, a heroic model, has been loyal to the country all his life
Yue Fei's youth was very different from that of others, he was diligent and studious, and he was good at reading classic books, especially military books. He also apprenticed to his master, and worked hard to overcome the bow and arrow and equestrian skills. Zhou Tong was a well-known local martial arts master, and Yue Fei learned a variety of useful techniques from him. After Zhou Tong's death, Yue Fei would personally go to his cemetery to pay respects to his teacher on every important festival to show his sorrow and nostalgia for his teacher.
Yue Fei also learned how to use knives and guns Xi, and he was born with an extraordinary talent in martial arts. Master Chen Guang saw that Yue Fei was brilliant and diligent, and he was determined to teach him with all his might, and Yue Fei finally learned the Chen family's sword and gun skills, which were almost invincible. Yue Fei's divine power made him able to pull out a three-hundred-pound big bow before he was twenty years old, which was unbelievable in the eyes of people at the time, and some people even thought that he had the same innate superhuman strength as the martial saint Guan Yu.
Yue Fei witnessed the tragic situation of his hometown being killed and plundered by the Jin soldiers, and his heart was filled with righteous indignation. His mother-in-law, Yao, strongly persuaded him to devote himself to the great cause of resisting gold, and tattooed the words "Jing Loyal to the Country" on his back. Yue Fei shed tears with emotion, and vowed to follow the example of General Huo Qubing and fight for the country's righteousness.
Yue Fei led more than 100 cavalry to make great achievements. He personally fought into the enemy line, sweeping left and right with a double halberd in hand. More than thirty enemy soldiers fell under his halberd, their robes red with blood. Yue Fei raised the head of the enemy commander high and shouted loudly, and the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and the enemy army was chased back more than ten miles in one fell swoop. This was the first time that Yue Fei had made a contribution in his military career, and Yue's military reputation was greatly enhanced. But the hero's life is thin, such a wise general was ruined in the political struggle, which made countless people lament, and the culprit was none other than Qin Hui.
The tomb of Qin Hui was stolen, but the thief was acquitted
Among the tombs of many historical figures, the theft and excavation of Qin Hui's tomb is quite special, and the tomb robbers were acquitted of stealing Qin Hui's tomb, which became a major miracle in the Ming Dynasty.
He was born into a small and medium-sized landlord family, and his family was not well-off. Due to the compulsion of life, Qin Hui studied diligently since he was a child, hoping to change Xi his fate through knowledge. He used to work as a private school teacher, but because of his meager income, he was not satisfied with this profession. Qin Hui redoubled his efforts to stand out through the imperial examination, successfully entered the official career, and gradually became an important position in the Southern Song Dynasty court. But he was left behind for 10,000 years because of his behavior of betraying the country to seek glory, and he became a sinner in history.
Qin Hui was not born a traitor, and when he was imprisoned in Jinguo Prison, he was unwilling to spend his life in the face of difficulties, and then chose to become an enemy intelligence officer in order to return to the Southern Song Dynasty. After some hard work, Qin Hui successfully returned to the Song Dynasty and expressed his willingness to contribute to the country to the emperor.
Zhao Gou believed his words and quickly promoted him to the position of prime minister, where he remained in power for nineteen years. During this time, their common goal was to avoid a decisive battle with the Jin people and to live a relatively stable life. Therefore, Yue Fei, who was loyal and brave, was framed to death, and there was also an element of royal acquiescence. Qin Hui's stinking reputation is also partly due to the blame for the emperor, but if it is wrong, it is wrong.
In order to appease the people, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty ordered the tomb of Qin Hui to be found and excavated, hoping to eliminate people's hatred of Qin Hui. When people opened Qin Hui's tomb with great anticipation, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, and the gold and silver artifacts in the tomb were piled up and priceless.
Faced with the temptation of such a huge wealth, tomb robbers are ready to move. But under the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, tomb robbery was a serious crime, and if caught, they faced harsh punishments. The statute clearly stipulates that grave robbers face the penalty of caning or death. But in feudal times, the majesty of the law was often tempted and challenged by money.
Because the tomb robber he stole and dug the tomb is not a resting place for ordinary people, but the tomb of Qin Hui, a notorious traitor in history. Qin Hui was once reviled by the world for framing Zhongliang and colluding with foreign enemies, and his name has long become a symbol of sin and an object of hatred in people's hearts. When they learned that Wang Fa had dug up the tomb of the traitor, instead of condemning him, the local people clapped their hands and applauded, believing that this was the punishment that Qin Hui deserved, which shows that the local people hate Qin Hui deeply. This incident caused a sensation at the time, and people were shocked but also had to sigh at the impermanence and irony of the world.
In this context, the officials could no longer punish Wang Fa severely. Because they had to take into account the mood of the people, they dealt with Wang Fa lightly. In this way, the tomb robber Wang Fa, who should have been severely punished, was spared because he stole and excavated the tomb of the traitor Qin Hui.
The case of the theft and excavation of the traitor's tomb has undoubtedly become a strange story in history, which not only shows the loopholes in the law in feudal society, but also reflects people's pursuit of justice and hatred of evil. When we look back on this period of history today, we can't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world and the interweaving of good and evil in human nature.
Modern experts have tried to find the tomb of Qin Hui many times, and it is speculated that the tomb of Qin Hui is undoubtedly in the area of Mulong Pavilion. Perhaps after the tomb robbers of the Ming Dynasty were arrested and released, officials went to "break the bones and scatter ashes" again, which may be the reason why the tomb of Qin Hui disappeared. Although the authenticity is doubtful, it is really excusable for such a wicked person to be treated in this way.
