Chapter 441 Framed
"But these people were labeled as Yue Fei's henchmen by Wan Qixie, and one by one they were impeached and framed by Qin Hui and others, and were exiled or demoted."
"Han Shizhong, who had been saved by Yue Fei, was greatly disappointed with the court after being falsely accused by Hu Fang. He simply shut himself away from visitors and stopped discussing military matters."
"But upon hearing that Yue Fei had been unjustly imprisoned, he immediately went to ask Qin Hui what crime Yue Fei had committed!"
"Because Yue Fei did not confess, Qin Hui gave a vague answer, only saying: 'Although the letter between Fei's son Yun and Zhang Xian is unclear, the matter is fabricated.'"
"Han Shizhong never expected that the answer he received would be a mere fabrication—these three words were enough to convict Yue Fei. At that moment, he found it utterly ridiculous."
"In the past, even when he was covered in wounds from battles, Han Shizhong had never felt more grief-stricken than he did now. He said indignantly: 'How can you convince the world with fabricated charges?!'"
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: Ha! Fabricated charges! What a fine fabricated charges!!
Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty: A renowned general, his end was truly tragic!
General Judy: Everyone knows Yue Fei was wronged, but no one can save him. Zhao Gou shamelessly called the Jurchens "father," so why did so many people save him when he was in danger?!
An official of the Sui Dynasty: This is almost the greatest injustice in history! Who would have thought that the emperor would lead the way in wrongly accusing someone, especially a loyal minister?!
.....
In another timeline, Zhao Kuangyin and others were absolutely furious. Since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, had any officials ever been executed on trumped-up charges?
Why is he so wary? Is it just because of the Miao-Liu mutiny? Isn't he afraid that without a great general, who will fight against the Jin for him?!
Haven't he learned his lesson from his father and brothers?
......
Lin Ke, on the other side, continued, "Yue Fei refused to confess his crimes. No matter what methods Qin Hui and others used, it seemed that they were not enough to break Yue Fei's will, which made Qin Hui very worried."
"Upon seeing this, his wife, Wang, asked him why he hesitated. She then said, 'Catching a tiger is easy, but releasing it is difficult.' This was meant to remind him that if Yue Fei were spared, he might face retaliation. Qin Hui then fabricated two more charges against him."
"One theory is that Yue Fei once compared himself to Zhao Kuangyin, both aspiring to become military governors at the age of thirty, just like Zhao Kuangyin's ascension to the throne."
"Even if Zhao Gou believed Yue Fei's reasoning, it would still leave a thorn in his side, let alone the actual situation."
"However, Yue Fei's words were taken out of context. He clearly said, 'I was thirty-two years old when I was appointed to the military post, which is rare since ancient times!'"
"Even so, Qin Hui and others forced Dong Xian to give corroborating testimony, but he also said that he had never heard Yue Fei compare himself to Zhao Kuangyin. However, such words cannot wake up someone who is pretending to be dead."
"The remaining point still uses the Battle of Huaixi as a pretext to accuse Yue Fei of lingering and failing to advance. Clearly, neither these two points, nor the others, are truly convincing."
"Especially since it's almost the end of the year, and several months have passed since Zhang Xian was arrested and imprisoned, and Yue Fei was convicted. If they can't get the information out of him, they won't be able to explain themselves to their Jurchen overlords."
"So all laws and ancestral systems are thrown to the back of their minds. If they say Yue Fei is guilty, then he is guilty!!"
"Thus, the patience of this group had run out, and on December 1th of the eleventh year of the Shaoxing reign (January 27th, 1142 AD), they..."
"Wan Qixie, Qin Hui, and others made the final judgment on Yue Fei: Yue Fei was sentenced to beheading, Zhang Xian to hanging, and Yue Yun to imprisonment."
"And Emperor Gaozong of Song, with feigned approval, didn't this result suit your wishes? He even issued the approval that very day."
"His memorial announced the fate of these three men: Yue Fei was to be executed. Zhang Xian and Yue Yun were to be executed according to military law, with Yang Yizhong overseeing the executions."
"Yue Yun was sentenced to exile by Qin Hui and others, but Zhao Gou was determined to be ruthless to the end and did not give them any chance. He even included Yue Yun in the sentence!"
"Alas, Yue Fei once led his troops on a northern expedition with great vigor, but now he has been framed by Qin Hui and others, and his later years are miserable. How can this not be called a great injustice throughout the ages?!"
After Lin Ke finished speaking, her voice trembled slightly, yet she couldn't hide her anger!
Anyone can tell this is a frame-up; there are only a few charges that can be brought up!
In her opinion, there should be many more people kneeling before Yue Fei!
The comments section at this moment:
The fat Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi: Are these people planning to celebrate Yue Fei's death with the Jurchens at the end of the year?
A spoiled young master from the Song Dynasty: These three are so pitiful! Each of them was a brave general, but who knew...
A certain romantic scholar from the Tang Dynasty: What's the use of signing this peace treaty? The Jurchens will still march south as usual. They don't take you seriously at all!
A Qing Dynasty official said: "When the Jurchens invade the south, he'll regret it but there'll be nothing he can do! He deserves to be looked down upon by the Jurchens!"
……
Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty
Zhu Di's forehead veins bulged, and he slammed his hand on the table, sneering, "Zhao Gou may not have much guts, but he's done all these things! We see he's quite formidable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. Not only had their aspirations been betrayed, but they had also dared to plot against even the life of a loyal minister!
Thinking of this, Zhu Di and others remembered Zhu Qizhen, who had also framed loyal ministers!
Damn! The Ming and Song dynasties really had a "connection"!
……
In another timeline, Zhao Gou, whose secrets had been exposed, blushed, his eyes darted around, and he was in a state of great panic.
He had no idea how the world would view him afterward!
Then he remembered that Qin Hui and the others had been dealt with by him, and that he had also supported Yue Fei's several Northern Expeditions.
He hasn't done any of the things Lin Ke mentioned yet, so what does it have to do with him?!
For a moment, he didn't want to talk about state affairs anymore, so he immediately ended the court session and hid back in the inner palace!
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
"Even though many people tried to help Yue Fei, the situation had already reached a point where there was no way to reverse it."
