Someone asked Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, or Emperor Gaozong of Song who was more cruel?
If Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang replaced the "position" with Emperor Gaozong of Song, would they kill Yue Fei?
In fact, according to the more unanimous view of Song historians, Song Gaozong did not kill Yue Fei for no reason, and the purpose of Song Gaozong killing Yue Fei was to stabilize imperial power.
More precisely, Emperor Gaozong of Song killed Yue Fei in order to ensure that the Zhao royal family could sit firmly in Jiangshan Sheji and pass on the throne.
In fact, Song Gaozong's killing of Yue Fei was relatively "random", and at first Song Gaozong did not want to kill Yue Fei, and at first he wanted to kill Han Shizhong.
In short, Emperor Gaozong of Song believed that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, the military generals, would be able to "restore the rivers and mountains" for a certain period of time, so when the news of Emperor Huizong's death reached the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of Song once appointed Yue Fei as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition and granted Yue Fei full authority over the Northern Expedition.
However, after experiencing the changes in Huaixi in shaoxing for eleven years, Emperor Gaozong of Song changed his mind and no longer believed that the generals' so-called "recovery of Heshan" could succeed, and even suspected that the generals were using the excuse of "recovering Heshan" to support the army and respect themselves.
At this time, the wen chancellor Qin Ju gave Song Gaozong another option, that is, to "collect military power and rectify military discipline."
After Song Gaozong was disappointed in the generals, he felt that Qin Juniper's idea was not worth trying, so he let Qin Juniper let it go.
Let's really not overestimate the emperor's love for talents, the emperor's attitude toward talents is always Han Wudi's style:
Shang (Emperor Wu of Han) laughed and said, "He Shi has no talent, the sufferer cannot know the ear, but he can know it, and what affliction is no one!" The so-called talented person is also a useful instrument, and the talented are unwilling to use it to the fullest, and they are the same as the untalented, and they do not kill He Shi! ——" Zizhi Tongjian
The central idea of Emperor Wudi of Han's remarks is that the world is gone, how can there be no talents? As long as I am willing to promote there are talents, for those talents who are not used by me, do not kill and keep the New Year?
In other words, talent looks to the emperor like the night pot, used when useful, and useless kicked away.
Yue Fei was put on trial
At the beginning, Qin Juniper found Han Shizhong, and the routine was the same as that of Qin Juniper who wronged Yue Fei later.
Find Han Shizhong's old subordinate Hu Fang to come forward to report that Old Han's cronies Geng is plotting rebellion, and the purpose of Geng's rebellion is to try to get Han Shizhong to regain military power.
It was Zhang Jun and Yue Fei who were ordered to investigate.
Yue Fei was very kind and quietly gave Han Shizhong a breath, and Han Shizhong was frightened to cry to Song Gaozong, because Han Shizhong had the merit of saving the car after all, so Song Gaozong finally spared Han Shizhong.
Shi Zhong wept to complain.
In fact, one of the reasons why Qin Juniper wanted to kill Han Shizhong was that Han Shizhong ate too much empty salary, and Han Shizhong reported 60,000 military salaries all year round, but in fact, there were only 30,000 people, so the combat effectiveness of Han Shizhong's army was also average.
But Han Shizhong is famous, so killing Han Shizhong can play a role in killing chickens and monkeys.
Since Han Shizhong couldn't kill him, let's kill Yue Fei.
Because Yue Fei's "Yue Family Army" was actually the army with the strongest control of the Southern Song Dynasty Court, a large number of senior officers were assigned by the Imperial Court, and Yue Fei's compatriots succumbed to Qin Jun's obscenity and accused yue Fei of framing, which from one side showed the degree of mastery of the Southern Song Dynasty Court over the Yue Family Army.
In fact, for Song Gaozong, Yue Fei's killing can also be regarded as "making the best use of people" and playing the final role. Don't forget, when Song Xiaozong rehabilitated Yue Fei, Song Gaozong was still alive, if Song Gaozong did not nod, how could Yue Fei be rehabilitated?
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the emperor, all the civilian and military generals are just pawns, just workers.
In fact, to say cruelty, Song Gaozong sent Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang far behind.
Tang Taizong did not say how many martial generals, brothers, brothers, brothers, nephews, and sons of Tang Taizong killed?
Li Shimin in the TV series
Not to mention that Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, and Li Junxian were all meritorious warriors drawn by Li Shimin on the Ling Yan Pavilion, and Li Shimin did not say that if he killed, he would kill?
Li Shimin suspected Li Junxian just because of folk proverbs, and not only killed Li Junxian, but also exiled his family.
Not to mention Emperor Wu of Han, a scourge of witchcraft, Emperor Wu of Han's empress Wei Zifu committed suicide, Wei Qing's entire family was exterminated, the crown prince Liu Zhao was killed, and countless people would be killed by the plague of witchcraft.
For example, General Zhao Baonu, the first assistant of Huo Fuyi who went deep into the desert three times, died of the scourge of witchcraft.
To sum up, if the degree of cruelty is discussed, Emperor Wudi of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang are far above Emperor Gaozong of Song, and if you want to kill the general, Emperor Gaozong of Song will also kill a Yue Fei, while Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang will kill Yue Fei.
Please remember that as long as an emperor feels that a certain minister is a threat to his throne, or that killing someone can stabilize the imperial power, the emperor will never mind killing people.
