There has always been a saying that Zhao Gou really wanted to kill Yue Fei for two reasons. One is to take political revenge on Yue Fei for restoring rivers and mountains and welcoming the second emperor. Zhao Gou's throne was obtained only after the second emperor was exiled. When he was welcomed back to the second emperor, Zhao Gou was embarrassed. Second, the situation forced. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the invasion of Jin people, wars continued, and the status of military commanders improved, which was seriously inconsistent with the ancestral teachings of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Gou was very suspicious of military generals and was eager to take back their relieving. Yue Fei's exploits are numerous and his prestige is extremely high. Zhao Gou felt that he could not control Yue Fei. If he doesn't get rid of it, his position will be unstable
When Jin Guo unilaterally tore up the treaty and invaded the Southern Song Dynasty again, he was beaten into a pig's head. At the same time, Yue Jiajun launched a large-scale counterattack against Jin Jun. Zhao Gou only wanted to beat off the Golden Man, but he didn't want to pursue a 56-point attack. On the contrary, he is bent on achieving peace. Zhao Gou won the 12 gold medal, and Yue Jun was ordered to retire, which made Zhao Gou realize that Yue Fei was not obedient. This man can't stay.
This statement seems to make sense. In fact, the year after Yue Fei returned from the front, that is, in April of the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1 14 1), he was first relieved of the propaganda task in Hubei and Jingxi, left the army, and was dismissed from office in August of the same year. Zhao Gou also hypocritically gave Yue Fei two sinecure posts, saying that he would "protect the death of the hero". Yue Fei has no right to interfere in the peace between the imperial court and Xu Jinguo, nor will it pose a threat to Zhao Gou's throne. The reason why Zhao conceived to kill Yue Fei is gone.
The problem lies in the state of Jin. Jin people are extremely afraid of Yue Fei and will want to get rid of him quickly. Therefore, the condition of Jin Wushu's peace is that Zhao Gou must kill Yue Fei. As a spy of Jin people, Qin Gui will naturally faithfully carry out the instructions of Jin Wushu. Zhao Gou had long wanted to discuss success, but he was partial to Jiangnan and acquiesced in Qin Gui's framing of Yue Fei. It's just that Qin Gui tried his best, but he couldn't produce any evidence of Yue Fei's "rebellion", so Zhao Gou had to come forward personally and give Yue Fei (JL) a special purpose.
