When Yue Fei died, everyone from the court to the people was celebrating the arrival of peace. One month before Yue Fei's death, the Song-Jin collaboration was finally reached. The Southern Song Dynasty professed their vassalage to the Jin Dynasty and guaranteed that their descendants would abide by their ministerial integrity. The Jin Dynasty canonized Zhao Gou, King Kang of the Song Dynasty, as emperor.

The Song Dynasty ceded a large area of ??territory, including most of Tangzhou, Dengzhou, Shangzhou and Qinzhou that were recovered by Yue Fei. In addition, 250,000 taels of silver and 250,000 bolts of silk were paid as tribute to Jin every year. Finally there was no need to fight or die, and the whole country was filled with joy.

However, one of the conditions for peace in the Jin Kingdom was to kill Yue Fei and completely dismember the armed forces of the Southern Song Dynasty. For the sake of peace, the emperor and ministers agreed and took matters into their own hands to eliminate the enemies. Then, over the bodies of the heroes, they cheered for the arrival of peace.

The emperor, the prime minister, and all the ministers all agreed: the arrival of peace was the result of the efforts of all levels of government departments in the Southern Song Dynasty with the emperor as the core, and was not the result of any one person. Warning to those generals who think they have merit. Don't take credit shamelessly.

Those who exposed and slandered Yue Fei were favored and promoted by the court.
