(Yuwen Xuanzhong in "Jingzhong Yue Fei")
Historical materials, sometimes at the service of those in power, and with the subjective consciousness of compilers, stand on a certain position, scandalize certain characters, reverse right and wrong, confuse black and white, and tacitly declare. Let us see today that there is also a preconceived notion.
For example, in the historical Yuwen Void, people have always thought that he is a repetitive, uncorrupted villain, holding positions in two dynasties, serving different regimes, without personality, and lacking integrity. He first served in the Zhao family jiangshan at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, and then served in the Jin Dynasty.
<h1>First, run for the Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji</h1>
Yuwen Xuanzhong, a native of Guangdu (present-day Shuangliu), Chengdu, was a jinshi of the third year of the Song Dynasty (1109 AD), a member of the Xianbei clan, and Emperor Huizong of Song liked his talent so much that he gave him the name "Virtual Zhong". The Jurchens of the Northeast rose up, saw the corruption and incompetence of the Song Dynasty after destroying the Liao Dynasty, and marched south to herd horses, he was promoted to senior government hall scholar, before going to the army to appease the soldiers of the Qin King, after completing the mission, he signed a letter to the Privy Council, advised the imperial court, worked hard, personally entered the Jin camp and negotiated with the Jin commander, and finally the Jin army withdrew.
After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Jian established the Southern Song Dynasty regime, and in the face of the cowardly and incompetent Wenwu ministers of the Jin Dynasty, they speculated on the holy will like dogs, coaxed the newly enthroned master Zhao Shuo to be happy, rebelled in groups, and impeached Yuwen for making a false proposal and misleading the country, and was demoted to Qingzhou Zhizhou, and then these small stones fell into the well and exiled Shaozhou.
<h1>2. Self-invited envoy to Jin Ting</h1>
Fast forward to the second year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1128 AD), the situation between Song and Jin eased somewhat, and Zhao Zhuo was ready to send a man to the Jin court, and usually those ministers of culture and martial arts who were passionate above the temple became shrunken-headed turtles, and no one dared to go.
Yuwen heard this news in the void and asked miao to go out, who knew that as soon as he arrived at Jin Ting, he was detained.
Yuwen Was handsome and talented, knew astronomy and geography, could write and poetry, and Jin Ting loved his talents, so he gave him an official title and treated him very courteously, from Hanlin scholar Zhizhi to Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, the Duke of Henan County, because of his profound knowledge, he was called "National Teacher" by Jin.
Although Yuwen Xuanzhong was a scholar, full of loyalty and righteousness, and had a heart for the Zhao clan, he acted as an undercover agent, that is, a spy, who kept abreast of jin ting's movements at any time and transmitted the information to the Southern Song Dynasty in time.
(Zhao Zhao)
However, the faint-hearted Zhao Zhuo and those shameless courtiers did not believe him at all.
In fact, a country is not afraid of an emperor's, at most extravagant and absurd, spend more silver, play more young girls. What I am afraid of is that there is a group of under the Emperor of, who collude with each other, flatter and greet each other, and reverse black and white.
It is said that gentlemen and gentlemen share the same voice, and villains and villains smell the same, playing for the tiger, their faces are covered with the skin of a serious painting, and their dirty hearts are very terrible.
In the face of the Jin people, the soft bones of those who only promised at the beginning stood up one by one and passionately accused Yuwen of seeking glory in the void and being a traitor.
<h1>Third, the undercover Jin Ting plots big things</h1>
Yuwen endured humiliation and burden in his vain, and had great ambitions in his heart, going undercover in the Jin court and wanting to achieve his own great cause, looking for an opportunity to make Hui and the Second Emperor of Qin return to the dynasty, and the people in the Heart of the Jin Dynasty were in the Song Dynasty, "The Second Emperor has not returned, I cannot go back", although "I was coerced in the middle, fortunately quansu shou, the only one section is one heart, waiting for death".
When Emperor Gaozong of Song received a secret letter from Yuwen Xuanzhong: "The "intelligence" of the Jin people trying to enter the River from Shaanxi and then down the river to attack the Song court was half-convinced, and the small crumbs around him thought that they could not be believed, but there were still people of insight in the DPRK who suggested increasing troops, so they sent troops to Sichuan and successfully blocked the attempt of the Jin people.
However, as Qin Ju came to power, in order to repay the Jin rulers, he told Jin Ting about Yuwen Xuanzhong's secret information for Song, and what was even more insidious was that Qin Ju gave the Jin people an idea, so that Jin Ting could exert pressure and move Yuwen Xuanzhong's family to the Jin Kingdom.
Yuwen heard the news in the void and secretly played Zhao Zhao: "If the Jin people ask for my family, please inform them that my family has long been separated in the Jingkang chaos." What was chilling was that Zhao Zhuo personally issued an edict and sent people to Minzhong to send yuwen to the Jin court in full number, leaving no one, which really made Yuwen virtually "a distant night full of frost, and sometimes returned to his hometown." His homeland became an eternal pain in his heart.
<h1>Fourth, the betrayed hero</h1>
In the sixth year of Emperor Xizong's reign (1146 AD), Yuwen Xuanzhong, who was betrayed by Emperor Gaozong of Song and Qin Ju, was killed by Jin Ting, along with more than a hundred old and small mouths of the clan.
The sky has eyes, Yuwen died unjustly in the void, and was also "selectively forgotten" by those corrupt Confucians in the "History of Jin", saying that he was executed by the Jurchens for the crime of writing because of his arrogance and arrogance, and wrote as an out-of-control courtier, and poured sewage with all his might.
Pulling aside the clouds and mist to see the blue sky, the Qing dynasty Yuan Ming excerpted the notes of the Song dynasty Shi Decao in his "Essays on Suiyuan": "In the fifteenth year of Shaoxing, (Yuwen Xuanzhong) plotted to blackmail Yuansheng (Song Qinzong) to return to the south and tell people about the change. (Yuwen) hurriedly sent troops until the golden lord was under the account, and the gold lord could not get off, and the matter was not successful. It can be seen from this that Yuwen's lonely hero in the void almost stabbed Jin Xizong, and such feats were completely erased in the history, and Yuwen's vain poem "Life is a dead and idle thing, and the cracks through the chest are not forgotten." ”
(Qin Juniper)
A person who has such feelings for his homeland, a person who despises life and death so much, will never be a villain who sells his lord for glory and is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Sadly, a lonely hero in Yuwen's void should restore his truth and give him a clean slate. At this point, let us appreciate a poem in the Yuwen Void to conclude this article:
Full of poetry books are ancient and modern, and it is easy to be sad after years.
Nanguan is imprisoned all day long, when will the northern geese arrive in Shanglin?
Open the mouth to destroy the decadence of the air to hug the park, shoulder to shoulder to run still waist gold.
Where is the Sword of Mo Evil now? Not to kill adultery and evil hatred is the deepest.
