Preface
The name Qin Hui is not unfamiliar to us, but a traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty, a villain who betrayed the country and sought glory, was scolded by the world.
In front of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were anti-Jin heroes like Yue Fei who fought hard to kill the enemy on the front line, but Qin Hui stabbed Yue Fei in the back, which not only made the Southern Song Dynasty completely lose the opportunity to recover the north, but also made the Southern Song Dynasty lose a member of the general who fought against the Jin army.
The Southern Song Dynasty court was also made into a miasma and corrupted because of people like Qin Hui, which brought the Southern Song Dynasty to extinction little by little, but it was such a person who could still make two poems.
These two poems later became the mantra of today's teachers and were widely circulated, so what are these two poems written by Qin Hui?
1. Verses that have been handed down to this day
How did Qin Hui, a legendary figure in the Southern Song Dynasty, make himself step by step to the point of betraying the country to seek glory?
Qin Hui was born in a landlord family in the Jiangning region, and his father also served as the county magistrate of Guxian County in Jingjiang Prefecture, although this was only a minor official in the ruling class system of the Song Dynasty, but it was also a starting point higher than ordinary people.
Qin Hui lived in this environment, and it was impossible for him to climb to a higher position in an instant and soar, so he took on the role of a teacher in the countryside, but he was not satisfied with this profession.
He was dissatisfied with the current situation of life, and was full of complaints, and also said a poem: "If you get 300 acres of paddy fields", that is, if you can have 300 acres of paddy fields.
"This time I don't want to be the king of the monkeys. He will no longer be the "child king", expressing his dissatisfaction with the profession of teacher, and also showing his lofty ambition, unwilling to be a teacher for the rest of his life.
But this sentence later became the mantra of many teachers today, but this situation is still different from Qin Hui, after all, the teacher can say such a thing, and it is somewhat hateful that iron is not steel.
It's not like Qin Hui who complains and thinks that being a teacher can't realize his lofty ambitions, so in order to be able to achieve the place he yearns for, he spares no effort to conduct scientific research.
Even if he failed to pass the exam several times, he didn't give up, speaking of which Qin Hui still has a lot of perseverance and perseverance, but then he took the wrong path, and a wrong step would make him irreversible, and he became a sinner through the ages.
So what did Qin Hui do? After he was admitted to the Jinshi and embarked on a career in office, he really changed his destiny and got closer to the ideal in his heart little by little.
The first step in the career is to serve as Taixue Xuezheng, in the late Northern Song Dynasty to do the imperial history of the Cheng, at this time Qin Hui still has some good and evil, knowing that the enemy of the Song Dynasty is the Jin army, so he advocated resisting Jin.
In fact, in the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers began to attack Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, which made Song Huizong feel dangerous and afraid.
So he took out the three towns to ask the Jin army for peace, and Qin Hui, who was a staff member at the time, put forward four suggestions, the first of which was that he thought that the Jin army was insatiable, and if he cut the land, he would take Yanshan all the way to the Jin army.
The second suggestion is that the Jin army is cunning and needs to strengthen the garrison, and the Jin army is likely to be untrustworthy and continue to attack the Song Dynasty, so from this point of view, it must not be taken lightly.
The third point is to convene hundreds of officials for detailed discussions, and write the correct opinions into the alliance book, so that the emperor can make the most correct decision, and you can also see different opinions and ideas from it, which can be regarded as brainstorming.
The fourth point was to place the representatives of the Jin Dynasty outside, and prevent these people from entering the palace, and at that time if they sued for peace, they had to cede the land.
So the Northern Song Dynasty sent Qin Hui and Cheng Li as representatives of the peace and land cession to negotiate with the Jin people. Qin Hui did not waver in the negotiation process in accordance with the above opinions in the negotiation process.
Therefore, he was promoted, and in the eyes of the Northern Song Dynasty, he did make a military achievement, but later the rulers of the Jin army insisted on getting more land, and if the Song Dynasty did not give it, they would send troops to attack Bianjing.
For this reason, hundreds of officials discussed, and finally Fan Zongyin agreed to cut the land, while Qin Hui and other 36 people thought it was not appropriate. From this point of view, it can also be seen that Qin Hui thinks about Song Chao.
Second, show goodwill to the Jin army
But with the change of the current situation, Qin Hui's heart is also quietly changing. Especially after Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured, the Jurchen nobles wanted to make Zhang Bangchang a puppet emperor.
Under the pressure of the Jin people on the Song Dynasty, many people did not dare to stand up against it, and at this time, Ma Shen and others, who served as the superintendent of the imperial history, put forward a suggestion, that is, let everyone write a petition together, wanting the Jin people to protect the Zhao family.
At first, Qin Hui didn't agree, but he couldn't stop other people's ideas, and dozens of officials signed in the imperial history, so Ma Shen persuaded Qin Hui again, and Qin Hui was also a little tempted after hearing it, so he sent a piece of paper to the Jin army alone.
The content of the statement reads: "The Song Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and if Zhang Bangchang is appointed emperor, it will eventually collapse, so it is better to restore the status of Qinzong, which will also be beneficial to the Jin State." ”
Qin Hui's suggestion made the Jin people look at him differently, that is to say, from this Qin Hui won the favor of the Jin people, it is precisely because of this change that Qin Hui's future mentality was almost shaken, as well as his heart's desire, and he made a choice for his future path.
It is precisely because of this that he has learned to grovel, be humble and wronged, especially under the oppression of the Jin army, so that he has learned to protect himself wisely, and at the same time, he also cherishes the power and wealth he has now.
Later, after Song Huizong heard that Song Gaozong Zhao Gou had ascended the throne, he asked Qin Hui to show favor to the leader of the Jin army, the purpose was to want Qin Hui to rescue him, and said that he would let his descendants pay tribute to the Jin army.
This cake can be said to be very well painted, but how could Zhao Gou and Qin Hui and others not have their own considerations, this move did not make Song Huizong's situation better, but let Qin Hui be reused by the Jin Army, and was also appointed as a staff officer by the Jin Army.
3. Collusion with the Jin Army
At this time, Qin Hui had already turned against the water, becoming a big help to the Jin army, and also becoming a moth in the Song Dynasty, colluding with the Jin army inside and outside, and the Southern Song Dynasty Mansion would also fall.
When Qin Hui returned to the Song Dynasty, he kept claiming that he could only escape by killing the Jin army, and he was also promoted and reused by Zhao Gou, and achieved the position of prime minister.
From then on, Qin Hui advocated peace between the Jin army and the Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei's struggle to kill the enemy on the front line became an obstacle to his stable position, so he framed many anti-Jin generals.
Because of this, he was criticized by the world, and Qin Hui also became infamous as a traitor. Although Qin Hui's life has been full of ups and downs, for Yue Fei, Qin Hui can only deserve such a fate.
After all, if Yue Fei's generation of good generals hadn't been framed by a villain like Qin Hui, he would definitely not stop at his career, and he would not have died unjustly.
But what people didn't expect was that no one would have thought that such a person could ever say such a poem, but although he had great ambitions in his heart, he did not have an unswerving heart, and even more so when the country was in danger, he betrayed the country for his own interests and sought glory, which was despicable.
epilogue
Qin Hui for his own glory and wealth, to do the Jin army's internal response, this is a big reason for the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, not only lost the lives of all the anti-Jin soldiers, but also lost his own conscience, he as a major sinner of treason with the enemy, forever left in history, spurned.
