What happened to Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, the three great ancient traitors?

Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu were all figures in the same period, and they all reached the peak of power by praising Song Huizong. In fact, Gao Qiu's fate was not bad, and he finally died in Kaifeng. He was also named Wu Gong after his death. Cai Jing died on the way to be demoted, seemingly starved to death, with a tragic ending, while Tong Guan was even worse. He was demoted and later sent to Yingzhou. On the way, he was impeached and was directly executed. His head was sent to the capital for public display, and it was the most miserable of the three.

Of the three of them, I think everyone will be familiar with Gao Qiu. After all, he appeared more frequently in Water Margin. He really belongs to the kind of person who can sit in a high position without any skills, and he can also play cuju to please Song Huizong. He has a bad reputation in history and belongs to the kind of person who holds real power but does nothing. Later, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, and he died in Kaifeng. In fact, there are few historical materials about Gao Qiu, probably because of its few achievements, so there is nothing to record.

Cai Jing is one of the three of them. He is a calligrapher and a particularly famous calligrapher. He is respected by many people. But his character has been criticized by many people. After all, his character is too bad. His official position is also relatively high. Of course, he was elected by the imperial examination, not by any skill. It's just that this person's real talent and practical learning don't need politics. He only knows flattery and corruption. Later, he was directly impeached and demoted to Nanling area, and later died here.

Tong Guan and Cai Jing are birds of a feather. He himself is a eunuch, but because he is trusted by Song Huizong, he has mastered the military forces for more than 20 years, which can be said to be both inside and outside the imperial court. In fact, he did practical things, such as conquering Fang La, Xixia and Liaodong, but his cruelty was hated by many people. After Song Qinzong came to power, he was impeached, executed and beheaded.
