Yang Yizhong was a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, he was born in the family of Yang Jiajiang, his grandfather was Yang Yanzhao, and his father was Yang Zhen, both of whom were core members of the Yang family.
Yang Yizhong has been influenced by the military since he was a child, he is diligent in learning the art of war, good at riding and shooting, and his strength is amazing. When he was 20 years old, he participated in the war against Jin, made many meritorious achievements, and was named the founding prince of Wuchang County by Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, and later promoted to the king of E, nicknamed Wumu.
Yang Yizhong is Yue Fei's comrade and his subordinate. He once followed Yue Fei to recapture Jiankang, Xiangyang Six Counties, Shangzhou, Yuzhou and other places, participated in the battles of Yuncheng and Yingchang, fought fiercely with the Jin soldiers, and sacrificed his life for the country. He admired Yue Fei very much, and once said: "Yue Fei is the number one general in the world, and I am willing to serve him." ”
Qin Hui was the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he had a close relationship with Zhao Gou, Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, and controlled the real power of the imperial government. He advocated making peace with the Jin State and abandoning Hebei, Henan and other places in order to be comfortable. He was afraid that Yue Fei's credit was too great, and he was worried that he would threaten his position, so he designed to frame Yue Fei.
Qin Hui first took advantage of Song Gaozong's suspicion and issued a "golden card" order many times, asking Yue Fei to return to the dynasty to prevent him from going north to the Central Plains. Later, he sent someone to assassinate Yue Fei, but he was unsuccessful. In the end, Qin Hui, together with Zhang Jun, Wan Qiaowei and others, fabricated evidence of Yue Fei's rebellion, and accused him of colluding with Jin Guo and attempting to rebel.
Zhao Gou was Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, the ninth son of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and the King of Kang. When the Jin army invaded the south, he was appointed by Song Qinzong as the generalissimo of Hebei soldiers and horses, and gathered soldiers and horses from all walks of life to prepare for King Qin. He once fought with Yue Fei and saw Yue Fei's loyalty and wisdom. He also praised Yue Fei, gave him the words "Jingzhong Yue Fei", and named him the founding prince of Wuchang County.
However, after Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he changed his attitude. He no longer attached importance to Yue Fei's opinion, but believed the lies of Qin Hui and others, negotiated peace with Jin Guo, and gave up the goal of recovering the lost territory. He not only obstructed Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, but also monitored and restricted him. When Qin Hui and others accused Yue Fei of rebellion, he believed it without conducting any investigation and ordered Yue Fei to be imprisoned.
Yang Yizhong was also implicated after Yue Fei**. He was recalled to Lin'an by Zhao Gou, deprived of his military power, and demoted to the commander of the Dragon God Guard. He was forced to separate from Yue Fei and was not allowed to meet with him. He was very sad in his heart, and once played to defend Yue Fei and asked Zhao Gou to pardon Yue Fei, but there was no response.
On December 29, the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141), Zhao Gou ordered Yue Fei to be executed. He selected Yang Yizhong as the prison officer and ordered him to go to Dali Temple Prison to trap Yue Fei. Zhao Gou did this because he knew that Yang Yizhong was Yue Fei's trust, and wanted to use his identity to make Yue Fei relax his vigilance, so that the assassins could take advantage of the opportunity.
After Yang Yizhong received this order, his heart was like a knife, he was unwilling to kill his comrades-in-arms, nor was he willing to betray his conscience. However, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he could only go to Dali Temple Prison with tears in his eyes. When he arrived in prison and saw Yue Fei, the two had nothing to say, only tears. Yang Yizhong wanted to save Yue Fei, but he couldn't do anything but watch as the assassin beat Yue Fei to death with an iron rod.
Yue Fei is the most famous anti-gold hero in Chinese history, and his life represents loyalty, bravery, wisdom, and justice. He did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for the interests of the country and the nation, and his spirit is always worthy of our admiration and Xi.
Although Yue Fei was killed, his reputation grew higher and higher, his deeds were widely praised, his poems were passed down through the ages, and his image was commemorated by future generations.
During the period of Song Xiaozong, Yue Fei was rehabilitated Zhaoxue and reburied in Qixialing on the bank of the West Lake, posthumously loyal to Wu, and crowned the king of Hubei. In front of his tomb, there are four iron statues, namely Qin Hui, Zhang Jun, Wan Qiao, and Wang Huang, to show punishment.
Next to his tomb, there is a temple of King Yue, dedicated to his shrine, and countless people come to worship him every year to express their respect and gratitude.
Yue Fei's death is one of the most distressing tragedies in Chinese history, and one of the most infuriating unjust cases. His death is not only his personal sorrow, but also the sorrow of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the sorrow of the Chinese nation.
His death also shows us the awakening and unity of a nation. Yue Fei's loyalty to the country inspired later anti-Jin heroes, such as Wen Tianxiang, Yue Fei's son Yue Yun, and Yue Fei's grandson Yue Ke, all of whom inherited Yue Fei's legacy and unyieldingly resisted the invasion of the Jin people and defended China's territory and dignity.
Yue Fei's loyalty to the country has also infected the sons and daughters of China for thousands of years, whether it is Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Zexu of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Yat-sen of the Ming Dynasty, the *** of New China or the contemporary ***, they all take Yue Fei as an example and strive for the development and prosperity of the country and the nation.
Yue Fei's death is a tragic song of history and a hymn to the nation. His death makes us deeply realize that a strong country needs loyal, brave, wise and righteous heroes, as well as wise, benevolent, just and virtuous monarchs.
His death also makes us firmly believe that the rise and fall of a nation depends on whether there is the spirit of serving the country with loyalty and whether there is the strength of unity.
Yue Fei, your name will always be engraved in our hearts, and your story will always inspire our souls, and your spirit will always guide our direction. You are our hero, you are our pride, you are our role model, you are our hope.
Yue Fei, although you are dead, your voice will live forever. Your song "Man Jianghong" is your last confession to the country and the nation, and it is also your highest praise for life and ideals. Let's listen to your voice, feel your emotions, understand your will, and pass on your spirit.
Angry hair rushed to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing. When the courtiers hate, when will they perish. Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.
