After the national hero Yue Fei was killed, his wife and children were exiled, but Yue Fei's third son, Yue Lin, was wanted, and he was only 12 years old.
Later, under the rescue of another famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Lin finally became a talented person in both civil and military affairs. In order to express his respect, Yue Lin set up an ancestral motto: the two families will never intermarry.
Why did the friendship be so deep that they did not intermarry? Who was the one who saved Yue Lin back then? How did they get through the difficulties later?
Famous generals of the Gong family
Yue Fei has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and under the guidance of several famous teachers, Yue Fei's martial arts at that time were almost invincible in the entire county, and it is said that no one can defeat him.
At that time, the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty was very bad, and the Jin people were beaten so that only turtle shells remained.
After joining the army, Yue Fei performed very bravely, and under the promotion of Zhang Jun and others, he became a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Under the influence of Zhao Gou's idea of "welcoming the two saints", Yue Fei led the Yuejia army to become more and more courageous, and even almost recovered the entire Henan.
However, "Welcoming the Second Sage" is a trap, and Yue Fei fell for it.
Due to the continuous wars, the situation in the country became worse and worse, and they could no longer afford to wage large-scale wars. So they took into account the weak character of the emperor of the Song Dynasty and took the initiative to sue for peace.
As soon as they saw that Jin Guo took the initiative to sue for peace, the Southern Song Dynasty was also very happy, but they put forward conditions.
Jin Guo said: "If you want to agree to make peace with us, then you have to solve Yue Fei on your side first, otherwise peace cannot be effectively promoted." ”
At that time, Yue Fei's Northern Expedition was very lively, and Zhao Gou was actually dissatisfied with this for a long time, if he really took the "Second Dusk" back, then who should sit on the throne?
Therefore, taking advantage of this condition of the Jin people, Zhao Gou said to Qin Hui: "This matter will be handed over to you to deal with, and you must meet the conditions proposed by the Jin people." ”
In the impression of many people, it was Yue Fei who was killed by Qin Hui and others, but in fact, Zhao Gou was the commander behind the scenes. After all, when people are emperors, they have to think about their own reputation, so this kind of dirty work must be handed over to the courtiers to do.
Under the "hard work" of Qin Hui, Wan Qiao, Zhang Jun and others day and night, they finally found a "trumped-up" charge for Yue Fei, which means that he should be guilty.
This should be regarded as the most ridiculous crime in history, Yue Fei and others were killed without finding substantive evidence, no wonder they had to kneel all the time after death!
After Yue Fei's death, Qin Hui was a little afraid, he was afraid that Yue Fei's children would retaliate against him in the future, so he ordered Yue Fei's wife and children to be arrested and then executed together.
However, later, under the persuasion of the famous general Han Shizhong, most of Yue Fei's family members were exiled to Lingnan, and Yue Lin was still in a state of want.
At that time, it was Gong Zuwen who was responsible for arresting Yue Lin, this fierce general was Yue Fei's old colleague, and he also respected the national hero very much, so Gong Zuwen thought about secretly finding Yue Lin and then placing him in a very safe place.
At that time, Yue Lin had already fled under the arrangement of his mother Li Wa, so Gong Zuwen went to visit Li Wa first.
Gong Zuwen thought about gaining Li Wa's trust first, and then asked Yue Lin's whereabouts. However, Li Wa was very cautious, even though she knew that the official might be well-intentioned, but in the end she did not tell him Yue Lin's whereabouts.
This is also something that can't be helped, after all, Li Wa doesn't dare to guarantee whether this person is pretending or not.
Gong Zuwen understands Li Wa's concerns very well, so this road will not work. In the end, there was really no way, so Gong Zuwen had to look for it with his subordinates.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and Gong Zuwen finally found the seriously ill Yue Lin in a very hidden bush, and then secretly brought him back.
After bringing it back, Gong Zuwen found the best local doctors to treat him. After more than a week of conditioning, Yue Lin gradually returned to his previous appearance, and there was gradually a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Gong Zuwen saw that Yue Lin had basically recovered, so he personally wrote a letter to Li Wa, claiming that he would definitely take care of the hero's descendants.
Gong Zuwen is Yue Lin's savior, speaking of which, he was also a little "prodigy" when he was a child, and his learning was very good, but as the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, Gong Zuwen abandoned literature and martial arts.
Gong Zuwen's martial arts at that time could be said to be no less than Yue Fei, and later the two became one of the anti-Jin volunteers.
Because the two shared similar interests, they quickly became good friends.
Although Gong Zuwen had a mediocre reputation in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, there is no doubt that he was also a brave and resourceful general at the beginning, and Jin Wushu was one of his defeated generals.
Hearing that Yue Fei was about to be punished, he was also very sad, but there was nothing he could do.
Although Yue Fei could not be saved, God gave Gong Zuwen a chance to protect Yue Fei's descendants.
Yue Lin has been living in the army since he recovered, but Gong Zuwen thought about it carefully, this was a little too dangerous. If someone recognizes Yue Lin and reports it, the previous efforts will eventually be in vain.
Akira Hira
In order to protect Yue Lin, Gong Zuwen resolutely chose to resign, and then took Yue Lin to live in seclusion.
The place of seclusion is said to be in the place where Yue Fei raised his troops back then, which is full of heroic spirit, away from the miasma of the court, and is a good place for self-cultivation.
During the days of seclusion, Gong Zuwen personally taught Yue Lin to read and practice martial arts.
Gong Zuwen is a talent who is very proficient in civil and military affairs, and with his experience and skills, it is very suitable to be Yue Lin's master.
Although he said that, from Gong Zuwen's heart, he had already treated Yue Lin as his own son.
Maybe this is the so-called fate, maybe the heavens also felt that Yue Fei died too unjustly at that time.
is worthy of being a descendant of Yue Fei, under the careful guidance of Gong Zuwen day and night, Yue Lin finally became a talent with both civil and military skills. It is normal for famous teachers to produce high apprentices.
I thought that the two would live in seclusion here for the rest of their lives, but then a good news came that changed their lives.
Although Gong Zuwen was said to be in seclusion at that time, Gong Zuwen would still communicate with his former cronies, and he could also use this to learn about some recent events in the court.
With the death of Zhao Gou, Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan successfully succeeded to the throne, which can be regarded as an emperor of the "main battle faction".
Song Xiaozong has been helping the Northern Expedition since he succeeded to the throne, and he thought that he would be able to recover the Central Plains and avenge the fallen Northern Song Dynasty in his lifetime, so he chose to reuse Zhang Jun.
This Zhang Jun was also a member of the "Main Battle Faction" at the beginning, but as Zhao Gou wanted to make peace with Jin Ren more and more, he directly became a member of the "Main Peace Faction".
This Zhang Jun is a loyal "licking king" by the emperor's side, and he will do whatever the emperor tells him to do, so he also participated in framing Yue Fei later.
Maybe there was really no general available at that time, so Song Xiaozong lifted the aged Zhang Jun up again.
When the Southern Song Dynasty was first established, this Zhang Jun was indeed a famous general.
However, due to the influence of the circle, Zhang Jun was already decadent and difficult to shoulder heavy responsibilities, so the final Northern Expedition ended in failure.
If you live during the reign of Song Xiaozong, then the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains is very promising, and Yue Fei is really "born at the wrong time"!
In addition to reusing Zhang Jun, Song Xiaozong also rehabilitated Yue Fei.
It's a pity that Qin Hui had already gone with Jun at that time, I don't know how he would feel after seeing this scene, and I don't know how Song Xiaozong would deal with Qin Hui.
As the news gradually spread, Gong Zuwen also learned of this exciting news through his subordinates.
His father was finally rehabilitated Zhaoxue, but unfortunately he could no longer see him.
At that time, under the careful selection of Gong Zuwen, Yue Lin successfully tied the knot with a virtuous local beauty, and later the two gave birth to four sons and a daughter, and the hero Yue Fei also successfully became a grandfather.
After learning that his father had redressed his grievances, Yue Lin's family could finally live openly and honestly, and they no longer had to worry about someone coming to arrest them.
Never intermarry
Yue Fei was already thirty-two years old when he was rehabilitated, and at this time he could be said to have no skills, so he decided to enter the court to serve the country as an official, and at the same time learn about his father's deeds back then.
While understanding it yourself, you can also let the children understand it together, so that you can better pass on the family spirit forever.
Knowing that Yue Fei's descendants were still alive, Song Xiaozong was also very happy. After hearing the news that Yue Lin wanted to enter the court as an official, Song Xiaozong directly ordered to meet him in person.
At that time, Song Xiaozong said: "Your father Yue Fei led the troops at that time, and he was far stronger than Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and others. ”
"I know very well about the fact that the hero was wronged in the end, and the people of the world are also very clear. ”
Seeing Song Xiaozong say this, Yue Lin also hurriedly replied: "Thanks to the emperor's concern, my family and I are grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. ”
In addition, Yue Lin also said: "I wonder if Your Majesty can return your father's imperial book?"
This imperial document was given to Yue Fei by Zhao Gou himself back then, and it can be regarded as a souvenir. Song Xiaozong directly agreed after hearing this, he said, "Aiqing will go to the warehouse to get it herself." ”
In this way, Yue Lin, who was both civil and military, started his journey as an official in the Southern Song Dynasty, and at that time he also became good friends with the famous physicist Zhu Xi and others.
In addition, Yue Lin also collected stories related to his father in his spare time at that time, so he began to visit the people.
After many people learned that this was Yue Fei's descendant, they told the story they knew. After Yue Lin collected these stories, he finally wrote them into a book.
It's a pity that before the book was finished, Yue Lin died of illness.
Previously, in order to thank Master Gong Zuwen for saving his life, Yue Lin put forward a request for the two families to be friends for generations and never intermarry, and Gong Zuwen readily agreed after hearing it.
In ancient times, families that never intermarried treated each other as their own relatives, except for those who had deep hatred and hatred.
Naturally, there is no need to intermarry between relatives, which has also become a manifestation of the friendship between the two families of Yue Gong for generations.
To this day, in the ancestral hall of the Yue family, there is still the god of Gong Zuwen, and the relationship between the descendants of the Yue and Gong families is still very good.
That friendship from ancient times to the present is really enviable!
