Chapter 439 A Naked Frame-up
Back to the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke took a sip of water and continued, "And Qin Hui did not betray Zhao Gou's trust. After Zhang Jun succeeded, he immediately summoned Yang Yizhong and ordered him to summon Yue Fei."
"At that time, Yue Fei was in Jiangzhou, spending time with his family, which was one of the few moments of leisure in his life."
"Perhaps Zhao Gou, Qin Hui, and others found it hard to believe that Yue Fei, who commanded the Yue Family Army, was not greedy for power and sex, and that his lifelong ideal was to recover the Central Plains and strike at the heart of the enemy."
"Because they are the kind of people who crave power, they naturally put themselves in others' shoes."
At this moment, Yue Fei was completely unaware of the impending crisis, still lamenting that more than ten years of fighting had been wiped out in one day.
"However, the Song emperors were not like Emperor Wu of Han; Zhao Gou was in no way comparable. Nevertheless, some people still noticed these actions taken by the court at the time."
"For example, Jiang Shixiong, a low-ranking officer who originally belonged to Yue Fei's army, took advantage of the opportunity of being reassigned as the salt inspector of Fuzhou to ride a fast horse from Ezhou to Jiangzhou and tell Yue Fei all the news that Wang Jun had falsely accused Zhang Xian and that Zhang Xian had been imprisoned."
"By the way, when Qin Hui and his associates tried to instigate Yue Fei's army to betray him, they approached more than just a few people; however, the vast majority of them refused."
"This also indirectly shows that Yue Fei had no intention of rebelling, and that the vast majority of Yue Fei's army loved and respected him very much and would not betray him."
"Otherwise, if the Yue Family Army were truly his private army, Yue Fei would have followed Zhao Kuangyin's example long ago when he learned that the court was going to deal with him, instead of obeying and not resisting!"
"Therefore, when Yang Yizhong arrived in Jiangzhou, Yue Fei had a premonition that things were going badly. Later, his subordinates kept coming to inform him of Zhang Jun's actions."
"But he also understood the court's intention in repeating its old tricks. However, in the end, he still decided to go to Chang'an with Yang Yizhong."
"It wasn't that no one advised him to stop the trip, but Yue Fei said: Heaven has eyes and will not let a loyal minister fall into injustice. Otherwise, where could he escape to?"
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: If Heaven had eyes, there wouldn't be so many people suffering. As the saying goes, calamities last a thousand years, but good people don't live long!
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: So his wrongful case can be called the greatest injustice of all time. He did not do such a thing, but the court actually took the lead in framing him. Such an emperor is not even as good as a hair on our Emperor's head!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty:.........
Liu Zhuzhu (Big Han): This is utterly absurd and laughable! The emperor can't tolerate a military general and is willing to engage in humiliating peace talks with another country!
All the Qing emperors who were hit by an arrow: ???
……
At this moment, the people in front of the screen were extremely angry. Yue Fei knew he was on a dead end, yet he still went.
However, some people would rather leave a mess behind than let their biggest threat get away!
How could a normal person kill a military general before the trouble has been eliminated!
He then sighed repeatedly and continued watching the live stream.
"Yue Fei chose to continue to Lin'an, perhaps still harboring a sliver of hope for Zhao Gou, but he never imagined that Zhao Gou was heading for his life!"
"Perhaps Zhao Gou was even pleased when Wanyan Zongbi sent his letter seeking peace, because he had disliked Yue Fei for far too long!"
"So, regardless of exactly when Zhao Gou began to harbor murderous intentions towards Yue Fei, the court acted swiftly after Yue Fei arrived in Lin'an, and he was immediately carried in a sedan chair all the way to the Dali Temple."
"They're not even pretending anymore, are they afraid he'll run away?!"
"When Yue Fei got out of the sedan chair, he realized that he had arrived at the Dali Temple and understood that Yang Yizhong had come to Jiangzhou to find him out of the year and holiday, just to trick him into going to Lin'an."
"Now that things had come to this, Yue Fei had no time to regret it. Before long, several jailers came and took Yue Fei to see the Censor-in-Chief. When Yue Fei went in, he saw a scene that shocked him greatly."
"It turns out that Zhang Xian and his eldest son Yue Yun had already been imprisoned and tortured beyond recognition. Their bodies were bound by shackles, their clothes were stained with blood, and faint, painful groans could be heard."
"Perhaps only at this moment did Yue Fei realize that the scheme against him had already begun long ago, and just reading the descriptions was extremely painful."
"These two men once made great contributions to the Song court, but unexpectedly, one day, the very people they loyally supported would turn their backs on them with a knife!"
"This is truly tragic and lamentable! But what can Yue Fei do at this moment? Even if he is furious and wants to save them, he is powerless to do so."
At this moment, the comments in the live stream kept coming in, showing just how angry their host was!
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: Zhao Gou... Bah... You dog... Did you eat shit?! ...! ? ...%...
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: Are you Zhao family out of your minds...? What were you thinking?! ...?
Zhu Bajie of the Ming Dynasty: ...I'm speechless! That grandson of the Zhao family has lost his mind, harming loyal ministers and generals!
A romantic scholar from the Tang Dynasty: Who could have imagined that the court would resort to such a tactic of "killing the dog after the rabbit is caught"? Yet, a powerful enemy is still at our side!
A Han Dynasty official: This just goes to show how important it is to follow the right master! These are lessons learned the hard way!
……
People in another Song Dynasty era, upon hearing this, were indignant. The lost territory hadn't even been recovered, yet they were already going to execute a general!
At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow, as such a court was truly disheartening.
They wished they could shake Zhao Gou awake and ask him to think it through. If Yue Fei really had the intention to rebel, then after Yue Fei's unjust case, didn't the Yue Family Army still not rebel?
They've always considered themselves an army loyal to the imperial court!
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke continued, "Not long after, the Censor-in-Chief He Zhu came to interrogate Yue Fei. At that moment, Yue Fei faced the Censor-in-Chief with righteous indignation."
"He denied all those charges. Then Yue Fei took off his shirt, revealing the words 'Serve the country with utmost loyalty' tattooed on his back, to show his stance and determination."
