In the second year of Jingkang, Song Qinzong (1 127), Wan Yanzong, the four great governors of the State of Jin, led troops south, destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and exiled more than 10,000 people to the North, including the Northern Song Emperor Hui Zong, Qin Zong, the Empress Dowager and thousands of ministers. This is the great historical change "the shame of Jingkang". In this large group of prisoners, there was the young champion Qin Gui. Jin not only destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, but also occupied a large area of land north of the Yellow River.
After arriving in the State of Jin, Qin Gui lived a humiliating captive life. Doing heavy work that only slaves and inferior people do during the day, sleeping in a stinking hut at night, eating bran, mold and beans. His wife, Wang, has also changed from the number one scholar to a village girl with a loud voice and a fast pace of life. Later, when Talai learned that Qin Gui was the top scholar and an official in charge of education in North Korea, he exempted Qin Gui from menial work and sent him to his home as a servant to serve Talai and his family.
In order to please Miss Lai, great efforts have been made in the relatively safe and flexible home of Miss Lai, especially his wife Wang, who is more attractive. After a long time, Tarle felt that this quiet China scholar was a talented person, so he freed Qin Gui from slavery and treated him as a friend.
After the Jin State occupied a large area of land north of the Yellow River in the Northern Song Dynasty, the ruling group of the Jin State had differences on how to deal with the death of the Southern Song Dynasty: the idea of completely conquering the Song Dynasty by force headed by the four princes Jin Wushu belonged to the dominant group; Talai, led by Talai, advocated maintaining the status quo and consolidating the achievements after the occupation of the Yellow River, instead of invading the south and advocating peace with the Song Dynasty.
At that time, the four kings of Jin Dynasty were Yan of Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty, and Talai was Yan's younger brother. Yan entrusted political affairs to Tarle. After Tarle came to power, he began to make peace with the Song Dynasty. However, after Xu Jin occupied a large area of land in the Song Dynasty, it was not an easy task to suddenly propose peace talks and maintain the status quo, just like robbing others and not letting others talk about it. Therefore, the best way is to have our own people within the Southern Song regime to promote and legalize the peace talks.
So the tower thought of Qin Gui and thought he was the right person.
One day, Tully called Qin Gui to his side and said, "I want to give you a fortune. I don't want to waste your service here." Qin Gui was puzzled. When he heard Tarry's idea, he chose his head and said, "I can't go back." Tully asked strangely, "Why?" Qin Gui said, "If I go back like this, I will never become a history book. If I stay in the north for a long time, others will look down on me. If this is the case, the task given to me by the wolf master will not be completed. " Hearing this, Talai thought about the noon of the cow. Suddenly, he patted his thigh and said, "You are so smart. Of course I can't let you go back empty-handed. "
Therefore, Talei wrote a letter to Zhao Gou, who has established political power in the south. The main idea of the letter is: If the existing borders are recognized, the status quo is maintained, and peace is agreed, the nomads from the Jin Dynasty will never go south again, and Zhao Gou will be conferred as the Emperor of the Song Dynasty by the State of Jin, and Song Qinzong in the north will never return.
At the same time, Tully ordered Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, who had become his slave, to write to Zhao Gou. After the letter was written, it was given to Talai, who ordered Qin Gui to imitate Zhao Huan's handwriting and forge a fake letter from Zhao Huan. The general idea is: Zhao Gou wants to make peace, not to let the people in the south of the Yangtze River suffer any more disasters, to maintain the status quo, to welcome Song Huizong's coffin, and to take the Queen Mother back to China.
At that time, it was Zhao Gou, King Kang, who established political power in the south. He is a direct descendant of Song Taizu. Since Song Taizong became emperor, the descendants of Song Taizu have been deprived of the throne. Therefore, it is illegal for Zhao Gou to establish political power in the south in order to continue the throne; At the same time, Song Qinzong is not dead, and it is up to him to decide who will succeed to the throne. Therefore, despite the emergency, Zhao Gou was very worried about the stability of his throne. Whether Xu Jinguo goes to the south or comes back from Song Qinzong, it is not good for him.
With two letters and related materials from Qin Zong and Empress Dowager Cixi, he came to Jiankang with his wife Wang Conghai Road and lied that he risked his life to kill Nomads.
These two letters are very important not only to Qin Gui himself, but also to Song Gaozong Zhao Gou himself. Significantly: This means that Song Qinzong recognized Emperor Gaozong's status. As long as the nomads from the south don't go south, Zhao Huan won't come back, and Zhao Gou's position will be stable. This laid the foundation for Qin Gui to advocate peace in the future. As soon as Qin Gui appeared in court, Zhao Gou called him an anonymous person in history.
At that time, many people expressed doubts about Qin Gui's fabricated experience: many people were captured with Qin Gui at that time. Why did he come back alone? From Huanglongfu, the capital of the State of Jin (now Longan, Jilin) to Jiankang, where can it be smooth sailing? If you kill the nomads from the army and run away, will Andrew come back with his wife? Fan Zongyin, the prime minister at that time, and Li Hui of the Privy Council made friends with Qin Gui in Bianjing, so they tried their best to defend him. At the same time, Song Gaozong got the calligraphy of Song Qinzong's recognition of his throne, and his heart was also steadfast. As for the origin of Qin Gui, that's a small problem. Therefore, when someone doubted the origin of Qin Gui, Zhao Gou said, "Qin Gui was loyal to others and learned the news of his second emperor and mother. I am so happy that I can't sleep. What a good ear, I don't need to ask. " In the end, it will go away. Qin Gui became Jin Guoan's senior spy and spy in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Once established in the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Gui began to try his best to master the political affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty. The first is to negotiate independently and encourage the owners to take pictures. He has mastered the psychology and fatal weakness of Zhao Gou people who want to make peace. Therefore, shortly after he became the minister of does, he threatened to make big moves and unconventional ideas everywhere, which increased his chips and impression in Zhao Gou's mind. He said to Zhao Gou, "If you want nothing to happen in the world, the south is the south and the north is the north." This sentence was appreciated by Zhao Gou, who ordered him to draft a letter to the Dalai Lama, asking for peace.
In February of the first year of Shaoxing (1 13 1), Prime Minister Fan Zongyin was dismissed, leaving a vacancy in the DPRK. Seeing Ding's greedy eyes, he threatened everywhere: "I have two clever schemes that can stir the world." Why on earth didn't he say anything? He said: "There is no phase today, it is not feasible." In August, Zhao Gou made Qin Gui his right servant and took charge of the Privy Council. Qin Gui finally became prime minister.
Secondly, Dashu is in the same party, rejecting differences and taking strength.
As soon as Qin Gui became prime minister, he wantonly appointed officials to his colleagues. His entourage, such as Andao Wang and Feng Youyi, were all appointed as assistant ministers, and even Sun Jing, a sailor who paddled for him, became Cheng Xinlang. At that time, Lv Yihao was also in charge with Qin Gui. In order to monopolize the power, Qin Gui instructed his colleagues to write to the emperor, demanding that they should do their respective jobs with Lv Yihao, thus squeezing Lv Yihao out of the court and having to go to Zhenjiang to build another Doudufu.
Qin Gui's short tenure in the imperial court, unstable foundation, excessive behavior, too explicit, caused everyone's eyebrows and attacks. They accused Qin Gui of being a traitor and demanded that he step down. Song Gaozong himself thinks that Qin Gui can only talk big, especially when he sees that he has achieved nothing since he became prime minister. He said to the ministers, "Qin Gui once said that the south comes from the south and the north comes from the north. I'm from the north. How can I go back to the north? He also said that in the past few months, the town has stirred up the world, and today there is no movement, which is not credible. " When he lost confidence in Qin Gui, he fired Qin Gui, made him a bachelor in Guan Wendian, and promoted Jiangzhou's concept of peace. Qin Gui's henchmen were expelled from the court.
Betraying the country, making peace and hurting loyalty.
In the fifth year of Shaoxing, Song Gaozong (1 135), Jin Zhu Talei sent people to the Southern Song Dynasty to formally make peace with the Song people. From five to seven years in Shaoxing, the Southern Song Dynasty sent Zhang Jun, the right-hand man, as the representative to negotiate with the Jin people, but the effect was not great. Zhang Jun is a military commander and a hawk. His work makes Zhao Gou very dissatisfied. Zhang Jun had to leave the phase and go to the army to direct the war. When Zhang Jun left, he asked him, "Who can replace Qing?" Zhang Jun didn't answer. Zhao Gou said, "What about Qin Gui?" Zhang Jun said, "This man has ulterior motives." However, in order to achieve early success, Zhao Gou refused to listen to Zhang Jun's suggestion and used Qin Gui as the phase again.
In the eighth year of Shaoxing (1 138), in March, Zhao Gou paid homage to Tong Zhongshu, Ping Zhang, and Tang emissary, the right assistant minister of Qin Gui. After Qin Gui became prime minister again, Yan Dun, assistant minister of the official department, said to people, "I have nothing to do with treacherous court officials."
After several years of ups and downs, Qin Gui is more mature than before. In order to stay in Xiangguo for a long time and monopolize power, he played hard to get and made Zhao Gou believe in himself. He said to Zhao Gou: "The minister is timid, holding both ends, which is not enough to break major events. If your Majesty is determined to make peace, please appoint a plenipotentiary and do not allow ministers to interfere. " Zhao Gou said, "I will appoint your minister alone." Qin Gui was worried that Zhao Gou's words were temporary, and later he changed his mind. He said, "Your Majesty will consider it for three days." Three days later, Qin Gui asked Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou said that he had a firm attitude and entrusted Qin Gui with full authority. However, Qin Gui was not at ease and said, "Your Majesty will consider it for three days." Three days later, I told the story, and when I knew that I had made up my mind, I made a big fuss, monopolized the power and made peace with Kim. He appointed Zhang Dao, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Lun as representatives of the peace talks to negotiate with representatives of Xu Jinguo.
In the ninth year of Shaoxing (1 139), Jin and Song reached a consensus: Jin returned the coffin, sent the queen mother back to China, and was crowned Emperor of the Song Dynasty; In Song Dynasty, 300,000 gold silks and silver were awarded every year, and a large area north of the Yellow River was ceded to Jin as a reward. These two countries are divided into the Yellow River and the Big Three Pass.
This is an out-and-out traitorous treaty, but Zhao Gou is glad to hear it. He thinks that Qin Gui is very capable and has been rewarded. The imperial court held a banquet to celebrate for three days, and officials of all sizes were rewarded.
However, when the news came out, the world boiled.
Lu Benzhong and Zhang Jiucheng, assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, thought that Qin Gui's move was a traitor and Qin Gui was a sinner in the world, but he was immediately expelled from the court by Qin Gui. The Privy Council edited Hu Quan's explanation, tried to behead Qin Gui, and was exiled to Zhaozhou by Qin Gui's shackles; On the same day, the editors Chen, Chen and Chen were removed from their posts and transferred from the court.
Zhu Song, Zhang Kuo, Chang Ming, the foreign minister of Si Xun, and other court officials signed a letter: "There is no shortage of resentment from doctors or officials to the people of the Sixth Army, and the world will seek justice and ask those who are guilty of" xianggong ". "
At that time, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other generals also came to condemn Qin Gui's traitorous behavior. In particular, Yue Fei was furious. On the sixth day after the state of Jin made peace, Yue Fei went to say, "People in the state of Jin can't be trusted, and they can't rely on reconciliation. They are unfaithful to each other and seek national interests, which may destroy future generations. Today's things can be dangerous, but worrying is not gratifying. You should train your soldiers and be prepared. Don't reward your merits and make fun of the enemy. "
However, with the support of Zhao Gou behind Qin Gui, a large area of land was legally ceded to the enemy, and Qin Gui still firmly occupied the position.
In July of the ninth year of Shaoxing, Wu Shu, a warlord of the Jin Dynasty, killed the Lord and sent Qiu to tear up the peace treaty signed with the Southern Song Dynasty. In the 10th year of Shaoxing (1 140), in April, the soldiers went south in four directions, and the counties in Henan fell one after another. When he heard the news, he said in shock, "Jin people don't believe it. What can we do? " So we have to use eagle again to solve the immediate emergency.
In August of the tenth year of Shaoxing, the army of the Southern Song Dynasty fought fiercely with the nomads from the Golden Army. Zhang Junsheng Chang 'an, Han Shizhong won Xun Town, Yue Fei won six of the six wars in Henan, and defeated the elite troops of Jinwu in Zhuxian Town, Henan Province, and "turned horses". As the soldier pointed out, the Central Plains shook, and even the peasant rebels who fought against the Southern Song Dynasty in Taihang Mountain joined the ranks of resisting gold. Yue Fei is even more heroic: "Take Huanglongfu and have a drink with you!" If it is completely possible to recover lost ground in this situation, even the puppet regime in Hebei and the nobles of Jin State are ready to roll up their sleeves and flee to the hinterland of Jin State.
Faced with this situation, Jin Wushu was in a hurry and sent someone to Jiankang to reprimand Qin Gui: "Without financial help, how could you be today?" To make peace, Yue Fei must be killed. Otherwise, peace talks are impossible. "So, Qin Gui won 12 gold medals a day in the name of the emperor, and ordered Yue Fei to coach the class within a time limit. Due to your order, Yue Fei had to withdraw from Henan in tears. A large area of land in the Central Plains fell into the enemy again, and it was not until more than 200 years later that it was recovered by Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Yue Fei returned to Jiankang, Qin Gui took over the relieving in the form of lifting, and entrusted him with the sinecure of a council agreement. Nevertheless, Yue Fei continued to attack Qin Gui's peace policy, saying, "Strangely, everyone else failed for peace, but we won for peace! Xianggong is a sinner in the world. "
Qin Gui saw that Yue Fei was constantly attacking, and he hated it in his heart, and he was helpless. One day, after he came home, he was still worried. His wife Wang asked, "Why is Xianggong unhappy? Is it a peaceful thing? " Nodded: "Yue repeatedly blocked the peace talks, and the Wolf Lord strongly advocated tightening the sky. What can we do? " Wang said, "Why is it so difficult? Just arrest Yue Fei. " Qin Gui said, "Yue Fei is famous for his resistance to gold. I'm afraid it's wrong! " The king said, "If you want to catch him, you can make an example of him, and peace is the most important thing." Hearing this, the Qin Gui nodded.
In October of the 11th year of Shaoxing (1 14 1), Qin Gui arrested Yue Fei for treason and tortured him to admit treason. Without saying anything, Yue Fei took off his clothes and showed the words "loyal to serve the country" branded by his mother to the jailer. After two months' trial, Qin Gui found nothing, but he didn't know what to do with Yue Fei. At this time, his wife Wang said, "It's easy to catch a tiger, but difficult to set it free." Suggested that Qin Gui should kill Yue Fei to avoid future trouble.
In December of the 11th year of Shaoxing, Qin Gui hanged Yue Fei's father and son-in-law, Zhang Xian, in Fengbo Pavilion on the outskirts of Jiankang.
After Yue Fei's death, the biggest obstacle to peace in Qin Gui was removed, and no one in North Korea dared to fight him anymore. So, he learned Li's method in the Tang Dynasty. In order to be solid, he flattered and pressed hard, replacing all the ministries in the DPRK with his own, instead of being demoted and killed for himself. As a result, he was in power for nineteen years until his death at the age of sixty-six.
The history books say that he was a "19-year-old man who robbed your father, harbored evil thoughts, advocated peace and neglected your country." Loyal minister and good general, slightly tired, outspoken and shameless, and used it at will. "However, heaven is long and karma is not good. After Qin Gui's death, his son was deported and his home was copied. When he was in Song Xiaozong, he rehabilitated Yue Fei, dug Qin Gui's grave, drove away his nobles and corrected his ugliness. Later, people built temples for Yue Fei and cast iron statues of Qin Gui and his wife kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb as punishment.
According to legend, today, a person after Qin Gui went to Hangzhou West Lake to see the iron statue of Qin Gui. He was ashamed of having such an ancestor, so he wrote a couplet:
After the Song Dynasty, people were not so famous, and I was ashamed to be surnamed Qin when I went to the grave.
