How did Qin Gui die?
1115165438+1October 18 Qin Gui, a representative of the capitulators in the Southern Song Dynasty, died of illness. Qin Gui (1090- 1 155), a native of Jiangning. Jingkang was captured and returned to the north, becoming a lazy confidant of Jin Taizong's younger brother. After returning to the Southern Song Dynasty, the two prime ministers advocated surrendering and killing the mastermind Jin of the national hero Yue Fei, which was hated by the people. Attachment: The ancient capital found the will: Zhong is a traitor. The biggest archaeological discovery in China in 2006 was finally born with the controversial demolition and development project. A number of important cultural relics, including Qin Gui's personal will, were recently unearthed from the ancient tombs of the Song Dynasty excavated during construction. According to unconfirmed information, the relevant departments of cultural relics have preliminarily identified this batch of cultural relics as including Qin Gui's handwritten Political Will, made some excuses for his controversial behavior before his death, and sharply criticized China intellectuals (literati). It is understood that experts from National Cultural Heritage Administration and famous experts from various research institutions gathered at the scene. Many people who claimed to be descendants of Qin said that they would pay close attention to the identification of this cultural relic. If it is found that the ancestors' charges are false, according to the judicial principle of no doubt and presumption of innocence, you can go to the court to ask for the cancellation of the statue of the Qin couple in Yuefei Temple. If they still want to erect a kneeling statue, they should "replace the head of the kneeling statue with a book, which means that those corrupt scholars who are ignorant of books and make false statements should repent for China's backwardness." This cultural relic, initially identified by experts as Qin Gui's "political will", was written on a piece of silk and satin with a length of 2.2 meters and a width of about 50 centimeters, which is the main reason why it can be preserved so far. The village where these cultural relics were unearthed is located in the suburb of this city. It used to be called Lu 'er, but now it's called Hu Gang. Because of its beautiful scenery and tea production, it was once the manor of senior officials in the Song Dynasty. Experts estimate that the Song tomb excavated this time is the tomb of Qin's nephew, and the time should be 1 178 (five years of cherishing spring, rehabilitating Yue Fei). At this time, Qin gradually lost power and influence, and some cultural relics in front of him became the burden of the people and the taboo of the ruling and opposition parties, so they simply hid them by martyrdom. Coincidentally, the data of the title deed unearthed together with this tomb excavation show that the manor here is basically divided by Yue and Qin. It is also one of the new discoveries in the study of Song history that the two families live next to each other. According to sources, it is preliminarily determined that Qin Gui's will was written in the 14th year of Gaozong Shaoxing (1 145), at the age of 55 (Qin Gui was born in the 5th year of Zhezong Yuanyou, 1090), that is, ten years before his death (1 155). In this will, Qin Gui first warned his descendants to stay away from politics, knowing that he would be "condemned by history" and "humiliated for thousands of years", and told them not to lust after the throne after death, not to argue for him after the storm warning, "ordinary people can get a lifetime", and gave detailed instructions to several people who had been in high positions to quit politics. It is on this basis that experts believe that this letter is a political will within the family. According to an anonymous expert who has read the cultural relic in detail, he said in his will that he firmly believed that under the "national conditions" at that time, living in peace with Kim was the only way to save the country, and had discussed this issue directly with Yue Fei, but Yue Fei said that "nothing can be done". In fact, Song Gaozong was not opposed to the Northern Expedition, because the war made him "respect the people in the north of the Yangtze River at night" to a great extent. Obviously, the emperor was intoxicated with this feeling of savior. However, Yue Fei often publicly preached that he would "welcome back the second emperor", while Xu Jin constantly sent emissaries to threaten the emperor to "return your brother" when he was defeated, and constantly hinted that Song Qinzong, who was imprisoned in five cities, had secret contacts with Yue Fei, which made the emperor suspicious and even reached the point of "sleepless at night". Emperor Gaozong/Yue Fei in the Kloc-0/2 gold medal recall trip was due to the "conclusive evidence" of Yue Fei's contact with Qin Zong, and Qin Zong even threatened to clean the troops of "Laojiu" (Emperor Gaozong was the ninth son of Hui Zong) after returning to China, so Emperor Gaozong needed to confirm with Yue Fei. It is understood that Qin Gui said in his will that the meeting between Emperor Gaozong and Yue Fei was held in secret, and he knew nothing about it. However, afterwards, Emperor Gaozong told him that Yue Fei had said many times that he only wanted to go back to the north to meet the second emperor, and his selfishness was at best to gain fame. After his success, he is willing to follow the example of Shi Shouxin and others. As for the ownership of the throne, Yue Fei said it was "a matter of royal brothers" and did not make a clear statement. In his will, Qin Gui spoke highly of Yue Fei's meritorious military service, which provided a convenient space for his peace talks and achieved good results. However, Yue Fei has a heart of fame and fortune, and his personality is relatively withdrawn. He is not easy to get along with others, and is easy to attract suspicion and taboo. Many times, he even left the emperor's words and had a deep grudge with him. Yue Fei did not attach importance to the interests of Emperor Gaozong himself. He not only had hearsay contacts with Qin Zong, an enemy prisoner of war, but also repeatedly advised Gao Zong to establish an heir face to face. Because of his hidden disease (according to later medical theory, impotence), he has no children. Therefore, he was very suspicious that Yue Fei wanted to support his army, which violated the taboo of officials, which violated the purpose of suppressing Wu Yangwen handed down by his ancestors. It is estimated that this also led to the murder of Emperor Gaozong, who did not hesitate to break the policy of not killing ministers since the Song Dynasty. Qin Gui said that he had tried his best to save at least Yue Yun and Zhang Xian, but when Emperor Gaozong instructed them to kill them all, there was nothing he could do. After Yue Fei was killed, his colleagues dared not question the emperor, so they all came to question Qin Gui. Qin Gui didn't dare to say what the emperor meant, so he had to say "unprovoked" vague response. According to reports, in his will, Qin Gui vehemently accused China intellectuals (scholar-officials) of making false statements about their country, saying that "they don't know the soldiers, the country and the state", thinking that impassioned people can save the country and the people, and even thinking that saying it is equivalent to doing it. I don't carry the burden myself, but I am lucky to use a big hat to suppress others. As long as the government puts forward a low profile, it will be accused of betraying the country; As long as you make peace with the state of Jin, you will be accused of flattery. War needs a lot of accumulation, "rest" and people's livelihood. Qin Gui said that he must use his strength to suppress such remarks, which have broken the careers and wealth of many empty talkers. However, "the crime of offending people is behind", it is inevitable that the state affairs will be difficult and the reputation behind them will be unpredictable. Interestingly, Qin Gui said that Yue Fei was more disgusted with the empty talk of intellectuals than he was, and thought that Yue Fei was not a scholar after all, but paid more attention to actual combat effectiveness. In his will, Qin Gui argued that in the event of a dispute over the throne, the civil war would start and the country would perish, so it would be better to save half the country. And even if the emperor's room is safe, after all, the emperor has always been suspicious of mercenaries, and this gap can no longer be bridged after it is opened. Even if Yue Fei himself doesn't care, it's hard to protect his pride. As for his slander on the emperor afterwards, from the perspective of public discussion, Gao is duty-bound to sacrifice his name for Jiangshan. In private affairs, Emperor Gaozong had "the grace of the governor, and he was expert in believing in things", and he could only die for his confidant. Therefore, we should teach future generations that the reign of Emperor Gaozong may ensure the Qin family to be rich, but after a hundred years of Emperor Gaozong's reign, the Qin family will be liquidated. "The people are in trouble." He felt that "they were born in troubled times, and the country was in chaos." He always wanted to do something to help the country, but "people who do practical things are not satisfied with the present." Yue Fei is hard to meet the emperor, and it will be even harder for him to meet the official history. Only those authority figures who maintain the crisis in troubled times can appreciate his painstaking efforts in the future. According to experts, there is no empirical evidence, but there are many counter-evidences. Historians in the Southern Song Dynasty left a lot of information. For example, Li Xinchuan wrote Historical Records, saying that he was not a "spy" of the Jin people, but a pacifist. According to Xu's "Three Dynasties North Alliance Compilation", the Gui family fled from Sun Village in Chuzhou occupied by Jin Jun to Ding Sishui Village of Lianshui Army, and only used the word "escape". Xiong Ke's ZTE Notes said that Qin Gui had returned from the enemy, but did not say that he was a "spy". Only Zhang Bangchang's good friend Zhu Shengfei wrote "Records of Seclusion", saying that the Qin Gui family, servants and servants all returned to the Song Dynasty, not "fled back". Zhu Shengfei supports Zhang Bangchang, while Qin Gui has always opposed Ren Jin's fake Zhang Bangchang. There is a sharp contradiction between Qin Gui and Zhu Shengfei. When Qin Gui was in power, Zhu Shengfei was abandoned for eight years, during which there was a conflict of interest. Therefore, experts believe that Zhu Shengfei's idle residential records are revenge against Qin Gui. In addition, The Record of Jin People's Migration to the South said that in the next eight years, the minister was afraid of revenge in the Song Dynasty and advocated indulgence in the Song Dynasty. However, Jin People's Migration to the South is a book full of fallacies, and its description is "Xiao Ran Fu Hui", which is wrong. From Song Gaozong's imperial edicts, we can see that Zhao Gou warmly welcomed Qin Gui to flee to the Song Dynasty. He compared Qin Gui to Su Wu in the Han Dynasty, and often held the Han Festival. In the documentary of the Northern Expedition written by Qin Gui himself, we can see that he tried his best to flee to the Song Dynasty in the Jin army. The plot is very specific and can't be fabricated.
