Yue Fei's death was an ancient injustice, and when he led his troops in the Northern Expedition, successive battles and victories, and recovered a lot of lost land from the Jin people, Zhao Zhuo and Qin Ju ordered him to withdraw his troops in order to negotiate peace. Zhao Shuo's move made Yue Jiajun "ten years of achievements destroyed in one fell swoop", but this was not the worst, the worst thing was that Zhao Zhuo did not trust the generals under him, he seized Yue Fei's military power, and even though Qin Ju framed Yue Fei.
Qin Juniper wanted to kill Yue Fei, but Yue Fei was loyal and patriotic, not greedy, not possessive, had no shortcomings, and had no handle, so that Qin Juniper could never find evidence of Yue Fei's crime, but he wanted to add to the crime, and there was no excuse, and finally Qin Juniper actually disregarded his shame and killed Yue Fei for the crime of "false accusations".
Qin Ju was the mastermind of killing Yue Fei, but at the same time, he also had many accomplices, such as Zhang Jun, Wan Qianbi, Luo Ruji, etc., who also contributed a lot to framing Yue Fei. After Yue Fei's death, the 4 masterminds who killed him, Qin Ju, Zhang Jun, Wan Qianbi and Luo Ruji, what was the final outcome?
1. Qin Juniper
Qin Juniper was a native of Huangzhou, Hubei Province, who had been a jinshi for five years in Zhenghe and was an official in the imperial history. In the first year of Jing Kang, after the outbreak of the Jing Kang Disaster, Qin Ju was captured by the Jin people along with Song Huizong, Song Qinzong and others, and then brought to the Jin Kingdom. After arriving in the Jin Kingdom, they were tortured inhumanly, and many people died tragically in the Jin Kingdom, including Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, all of whom died tragically in the Jin Kingdom, but Qin Ju fled back to the Southern Song Dynasty with his family.
After arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Ju became the outright lord and faction, which made people suspect that Qin Juniper was deliberately put back by the Jin people to go undercover, but Emperor Gaozong of Song trusted Qin Ju very much and promoted him to the position of chancellor. Later, after Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and other generals gained a certain advantage over the Jin people on the battlefield, Zhao Zhuo and Qin Ju took the opportunity to negotiate peace with the Jin people. Subsequently, with the connivance of Zhao Shuo, Qin Ju killed Yue Fei on charges of "treason" by framing, fabricating evidence, and forcing the generals of the Yue family army to make false confessions.
After Yue Fei was killed and Han Shizhong and other generals were stripped of their military power, there was no one in the DPRK who could balance Qin Juniper, and Qin Juniper soon became powerful and full of his henchmen. Qin Juniper's power was too great, and even Emperor Gaozong of Song was a little jealous of him, and he hid a dagger with him to guard against Qin Juniper.
After Qin Ju became seriously ill, he wanted his son Qin Xi to take over the position, and Qin Xi asked his henchmen to write a letter asking Zhao Huo to worship him as a minister, but Zhao Huo ignored it and personally went to visit Qin Ju. At this time, Qin Juniper was already too ill to speak, and Qin Juniper's son Qin Xi tentatively asked Song Gaozong, "Who will you let be the prime minister?" Zhao Zhuo said coldly, "This is not what you should take care of." Turning away, this made Qin Juniper's father and son fall into despair.
After Zhao Zhao returned, he immediately issued an edict and removed Qin Ju's father and son from their official positions. After receiving this news, Qin Ju died in pain soon after. After Emperor Xiaozong of Song ascended the throne, he rehabilitated Yue Fei's unjust case, and Qin Ju became a traitor who killed loyal subjects, and the Qin Ju family completely lost power.
2. Zhang Jun
Zhang Jun and Yue Fei are one of the "Four Generals of ZTE". When Zhang Jun was 16 years old, he became an archer in the army and participated in the war against Western Xia, as well as in the suppression of peasant rebels in Shandong, Hebei and other places. In 1127, when the Jingkang Rebellion broke out, Zhang Jun led troops in Shandong and other places to suppress the peasant rebellion. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Jun judged the situation and proclaimed Zhao Zhao emperor in Jiankang Province, Nanjing.
Zhang Jun's ability to support him, coupled with the fact that he had soldiers and horses in his hands, quickly became one of the generals that Zhao Zhuo relied on the most. Zhang Jun made great achievements for Zhao Zhao to suppress the peasant rebel army and fight against the Jin people. Zhang Jun, like Yue Fei, was also a general of the main battle faction, but later, he joined forces with Qin Ju to kill Yue Fei, which made Zhang Jun, who should have been able to leave a name in history, a traitor who framed loyal subjects.
After Yue Fei's death, the Northern Expedition of the Yue family army ended. After the Southern Song Dynasty Xiao Zhao Xuan ascended the throne, in order to recover the lost land, he let the veteran general Zhang Jun lead the Northern Expedition, but Zhang Jun's talent was not as good as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, without their help, he eventually lost to the Jin people, and the Northern Expedition failed.
Zhang Jun was very kind to Emperor Gaozong of Song in his later years because of his outstanding merits, and after he fell ill, Emperor Gaozong of Song personally visited him. In 1154, Zhang Jun died of illness and was posthumously honored as King Xun, with the courtesy name of "Zhonglie". When Song Xiaozong rehabilitated Yue Fei in the unjust case, Zhang Jun was not implicated, but posterity did not forget the contribution Zhang Jun made when he framed Yue Fei, and also placed his bronze statue in front of Yue Fei's tomb and made him kneel to atone for his sins.
3. Wan Qianjie
Wan Qianbi was a henchman of Qin Ju and served as an inspector of imperial history, and he helped Qin Ju seize the military power of Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other military generals. Subsequently, under qin juniper's instructions, Wan Qianbi wrote a letter falsely accusing Yue Fei. After Yue Fei was imprisoned, He Zhu and other officials were unwilling to frame Zhongliang and help Qin Ju frame Yue Fei, and Qin Ju replaced He Zhu with Wan Qianbi, making Wan Qianbi the presiding officer of Yue Fei's case.
In order to put Yue Fei to death, Wan Qianbi fabricated a lot of incriminating evidence and deliberately helped Qin Ju kill Yue Fei. Soon after, Wan Qianbi was promoted to the position of Governor of the People's Republic of China, but as his official position grew, a rift appeared in his relationship with Qin Juniper, and he was eventually demoted by Qin Juniper to Guizhou.
After Qin Jun's death, Wan Qianbi was appointed by the imperial court and served as the right servant of Shangshu and other important positions, and was posthumously honored as "Zhongjing". Although Wan Qianbi did not have evil retribution in his lifetime and paid a price for framing Yue Fei, his descendants also placed his kneeling statue in front of Yue Fei's tomb and let him atone for his sins forever.
4. Luo Ruji
Luo Ruji was a henchman of Qin Juniper, who had served as an official Shangshu and a scholar of Longtuge, and had written to frame Yue Fei, and was one of the culprits who killed Yue Fei. After Yue Fei's death, Luo Ruji personally interrogated the "Chen Si" unjust case, etc., making him a "Qing official", and the ending was good, but posterity did not forget his crimes, and also placed his kneeling bronze statue in front of Yue Fei's tomb. Li Wei, a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, felt that Luo Ruji was not qualified enough and removed his kneeling image. No matter how much Luo Ruji bothered to wash himself white, his crime of framing Yue Fei could never be washed away.
