Yue Fei's contribution to the Southern Song Dynasty was almost immeasurable. If he does not die, although he may not be able to unify the Central Plains in one fell swoop, but under the continuous attack of the Yue family's army, the Jin State no longer has the strength to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, and the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty will undoubtedly be greatly delayed. However, history made a joke, and at the critical moment, the protagonist said that it was gone, and later generations scolded Zhao Gao for being mediocre and Qin Hui for being cunning. However, many people don't know that Yue Fei's death was largely caused by himself, which is mainly reflected in three aspects.
First of all, at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, he was very afraid of military generals, afraid of repeating the mistakes of the military generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty who seized power, and prevented the military generals from deviating everywhere. And Yue Fei seems to have forgotten these, or rather, he doesn't understand them. actually paid out of his pocket to form an army, although he fought for the country and won the admiration of all the people, but what would Zhao Gou think? Throughout history, have there been people who have given their own family names to the army? The surname of the army is Yue, so what is the surname of Heshan after the recovery of Heshan? It wasn't easy to say at the time.
Secondly, Yue Fei witnessed the tragic situation of Jingkang, and always wanted to wash away the national shame, and went straight to Huanglong to welcome back the two saints, and his patriotic spirit was indeed commendable. However, he didn't think about it, welcoming back the two saints of the past, where will the current saints go? Will Zhao Gou give up the dragon chair so generously? What's more, in front of Huizong and Qinzong, Zhao Gou's throne is an unjustifiable existence. Doesn't Zhao Gou know it? When he sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin to welcome back the ashes of his living mother and Huizong, he did not mention Qinzong, which is enough to explain what he was thinking. Qinzong himself was also very guilty, so much so that when the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty got up to return to China, he leaned on the window of the carriage and said to the envoy, go back and tell my younger brother, take me back, just be a common man. Such psychological details, as a military general, Yue Fei was obviously negligent.
In the end, knowing that Zhao Gou had no son, and Zhao Gou was still young and in his prime, Yue Fei urged him again and again to establish a prince early. In this matter alone, Yue Fei made two mistakes, one is that the Son of Heaven is infertile, and it is taboo to talk about the crown prince; The second is that the discussion of the establishment of the prince is a matter for civil servants and has nothing to do with military generals. Yue Fei was impatient, and the Song Dynasty was afraid of military generals interfering in politics, so any emperor would have an idea. Do you Yue Fei want to support the new monarch and win the new favorite? Do you want to manipulate Xinjun to plot misdeeds?
Taking the liberty again and again, Yue Fei finally shook Gaozong's trust in him, so that the greater Yue Fei's credit, the more he was a scourge in Zhao Go's eyes. Coincidentally, Qin Hui and Yue Fei have a personal enmity, after peeking on the psychology of the master, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to get rid of him as soon as possible, the monarch and the minister coincide, how can Yue Fei not die? The fact that the shameless charge of "unwarranted" can be said openly from Qin Hui's mouth shows how sure and confident he is in dealing with the death of Yue Fei.
