Who was the first traitor in the history of China?
There are many traitors in the history of China, including Zhao Gao, Dong Zhuo, Li, Wei Zhongxian and so on. These people stifle loyalty, abuse power, create trouble for the country and enslave the people, which is disgusting. But if you want to rank, I think the first traitor must be Qin Gui.

Qin Gui was a teacher in a private school in his early years and a scholar in high school. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he became an ancient scholar. In the second year of Jingkang, he was taken into exile in the State of Jin, and later sent back to China to act as a spy of the State of Jin, and strongly advocated peace between the Southern Song Dynasty and the State of Jin. During Qin Gui's reign, he pursued the policy of killing Yue Fei, belittling loyalty, ceding land, making vassals and paying tribute.

Every traitor must have a loyal minister. Many people think that Yue Fei is indispensable in the list of the top ten loyal ministers in history. As a national hero, Yue Fei was loyal to his country and admired by later generations. What's more, he took his own Yue Jiajun to recover a large area of land in the Southern Song Dynasty and hit the border of Xu Jin. Such a loyal minister and national hero was eventually killed and imprisoned because Qin Gui betrayed his motherland and pursued glory. Can traitors be tolerated by the world? Join him at the top of the treacherous court official list!

In order to punish him, later generations shaped him and his wife into kneeling statues, kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb for 800 years. The world hates him not only because he hurts loyalty, brings disaster to the platform and banishes dissidents, but also because he commits adultery and betrays the country and territory, which is intolerable.

Of all the people in history, why only Qin Gui was made into a statue to confess his guilt? This just shows that people can't tolerate traitors who pursue glory. The will of the people. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many traitors, but when everyone faced foreign invasion, all forces United and resisted, and the lords of their own nation were not allowed to invade from outside at any time!
