During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was one of the biggest unjust cases in history, which was the regrettable "Yue Fei case".
I believe that many friends are no strangers to the story of Qin Hui and Yue Fei, Yue Fei, as the supporter of the Southern Song Dynasty, made great contributions to the restoration of the country's great rivers and mountains, and has held back the pace of the Jin Army several times and became the hand of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, the Jin people hated Yue Fei to the core, and always tried every means to get rid of Yue Fei. Also jealous of Yue Fei was the emperor at the time, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou had no ability, but he was the only survivor of the Zhao Song Dynasty to continue the orthodoxy.
That's why he became the emperor, but he was very dissatisfied with Yue Fei, who had a heavy army, for fear that Yue Fei would add a yellow robe and replace him as emperor, so he ordered his confidant Qin Hui to kill Yue Fei on the charge of "trumped-up" rebellion.

It became the biggest unjust case at that time, and the initiator was also a stench for thousands of years, sometimes the world is impermanent, some people just did nothing, they were insinuated, secretly slandered, and such a situation was often seen in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the Qing Dynasty, the emperors were very sensitive to the written word, and many officials just complained and wrote a few words on paper that were dissatisfied with the Qing government, and they would be immediately accused.
Many people are still sitting at home, and the disaster comes from the sky, and they don't know what happened, so they die inexplicably on what they said or wrote articles, and the Yin Jiaquan case is a typical case.
If you want to talk about Yin Jiaquan, you have to talk about his father Yin Huiyi. Yin Huiyi is a good courtier and a good father. Under his father's good education, Yin Jiaquan was familiar with Confucian classics, even more powerful than his father.
At that time, Confucianism was the Qing Dynasty emperor advocated the doctrine of educating people's hearts, with the help of Emperor Qianlong, Yin Jiaquan's promotion of Confucianism was particularly smooth, so that finally achieved Dali Temple Zhengqing, this official title is still very large, but most of the time he is still rewarding his outstanding contribution to the promotion of Confucianism, and finally returns to his hometown at an advanced age, thinking of spending his old age in peace.
He could have enjoyed his family, but he didn't. Once, Yin Jiaquan heard that Emperor Qianlong was going to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, and he also passed near his home.
Yin Jiaquan was particularly excited, he didn't expect to return to his hometown to have the opportunity to face the saint, it just so happened that he was a promoter of Confucianism, he not only promoted the culture of "filial piety", but also practiced his own "filial piety".
So he took advantage of this opportunity to make a request to Emperor Qianlong, asking the emperor to give his deceased father a nickname.
In his opinion, this is just a small request, he is Qianlong's old minister, Qianlong will remember the friendship of the monarch and the minister agreed, and the Qianlong Emperor also liked Confucianism very much, and even promoted Confucianism among the children of the Eight Banners, Confucianism takes "filial piety" first, so filial piety will definitely be praised by the emperor.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, thinking that his actions would make the family glorious, so he did not hesitate to present the symphony.
However, Yin Jiaquan, who was well protected by his family, didn't know how to figure out the holy will at all, and his thoughts were still too naïve. When Emperor Qianlong saw this recital, he was not happy at all, and even scolded, thinking in his heart, "Good boy, are you relying on the old and selling the old in front of me, not only to teach me to do things, but also to teach me to be a man?" ”
So he replied coldly, applying for a nickname is a big thing, your father is indeed very respectable, but it is not so great, I originally wanted to cure your felony, but considering that you are considering this filial piety for your father, let me exempt you from the evidence of your crime, and don't mention this matter again in the future.
But Yin Jiaquan is an out-and-out corrupt Confucian, and even his thoughts are a little pedantic, he feels that what Confucius said must be right, and what Confucius admires must be harmless, naïve He still ignores the dark and sinister side of human nature, and he has to give full play to his true colors, and the emperor is a stick to the end, and he continues to write to Qianlong, asking him to agree to his request.
At this moment, Emperor Qianlong didn't have such a good face, and thought to himself, "Xiaoxiao, you still dare to sell your reputation in front of me, and you still think that I dare not pinch you, a little scholar dares to bark like a mad dog in front of me, and I really think I dare not you?" ”
So he ordered that people first raid his house to see if there is any stolen money from unknown sources after being an official in the imperial court for so many years, and if there is, he can be punished for his crimes.
However, Yin Jiaquan, as the head of Dali Temple, was still very honest during his reign, and basically did not bend the law for bribes, so it would be difficult to punish him as a serious crime.
Those officials who fell into the well wanted to behave well in front of Qianlong, and when they saw the car full of poems and books in his house, they made up a crime in a hurry.
Yin Jiaquan's poems and letters, between the lines, "unwarranted" wrote rebellion, which is the biggest rebellious behavior, enough to be executed for a long time, split the corpses of five horses, and even connect the nine clans.
This is another big joke, Yin Jiaquan has no military power, no martial arts, a powerless scholar, to rebel with his mouth, to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty?
But Qianlong liked this very much, and even happily decided to arrest Yin Jiaquan on this ground.
Let him taste what it is like to be the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, see if he dares to talk nonsense like a mad dog, and call himself an "ancient old man", this is obviously my exclusive use, he dares to use it fraudulently, he is really too comfortable, and he forgets who is his father.
So, Yin Jiaquan was very tormented by the torture of the Qing Dynasty, and before these tortures came up, he softened, and he thought that Emperor Qianlong was serious, and it was too late to say anything at that time, originally he just wanted to do something to glorify his ancestors, but he didn't expect it to backfire, stealing chickens and rice, and affecting his children and grandchildren.
Thinking that he was not a high-ranking member in the court back then, but now that he is so old, he has become a prisoner, and this gap makes him soften.
Every time the interrogators interrogated, he did not hesitate to admit his mistakes, every time he wanted to draw a fingerprint, he never resisted, he ate two pieces of meat and drank three glasses of wine for the severed head meal, in his opinion, Qianlong has completely given up on himself, has stopped thinking about the friendship between the monarch and the minister, and now he regrets it.
In fact, Yin Jiaquan himself is not wrong, but he had a conversation with the wrong person at the wrong time.
The reason why Qianlong reused Confucianism was because Confucianism could help him consolidate his rule, and in essence, Confucianism was to serve the imperial power, not the imperial power to serve Confucianism.
Qianlong knew very well in his heart that these Confucian scholars themselves were not very capable, they just liked to talk about the government and politics, and if they wanted to shut up, they still had to let them see the coffin before they shed tears, so Yin Jiaquan happened to hit the cusp and became the first victim of this incident.
Fortunately, Qianlong just wanted to scare him, and in the end, he repented frankly and spared him from the death penalty.
What do you think about the 70-year-old minister being given death, eating 2 pieces of meat and drinking 3 glasses of wine at the head of the severed head? Welcome to discuss in the comment area!
