History is a mirror. We can learn the best from it, and we can also see the dross. For five thousand years in China, there are Yao, Shun, and Yu who will last forever, and there are also historical sinners who will remain infamy for thousands of years. Today we will talk about those who made Chinese history The four sinners who went back a hundred years.

1, Zhao Gou

Speaking of Zhao Gou, you may not be familiar with it, but his name is indeed quite big. The founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, named Song Gaozong, The ninth son of Song Huizong, not only has a great name, but he is also a calligrapher. He is proficient in running script and cursive script. He also has books and famous paintings handed down to the world. You may be confused after hearing this. It sounds like it has nothing to do with the sinner. Ahem, you may be surprised next.

In the second year of Jingkang, the Hui and Qin sects were captured, and he immediately ascended the throne. This was not enough. After he ascended the throne, he did not want to suffer hardships, but refused to resist the Jin Dynasty and fled to Lin'an to establish the Southern Song Dynasty. In the later period, he used Qin Hui to serve the Jin Dynasty. He ceded territory, paid tribute, declared himself a vassal, and finally killed the national hero Yue Fei.

At this time, the Jin Dynasty was aggressively invading and continued to conquer the south. Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty signed the " Shaoxing Peace Agreement" with the Song Dynasty after Yue Fei's death. The Song Dynasty ceded Tangzhou, Dengzhou, Shangzhou, and Shangzhou that had been recovered by Yue Fei. Most of Qinzhou paid 250,000 taels of silver and 250,000 pieces of silk as tribute to Jin every year. At the cost of paying tribute to the Jin Kingdom , he gained back the dominance of half of the country in the southeast.

2, An Lushan

Speaking of An Lushan, everyone must have no pattern. The description of " Anshi Rebellion " in school textbooks is vivid. It is said that An Lushan’s original surname was Kang. His father is a Hu and his mother is a Turk. He seemed a bit stupid since he was a child, but later it turned out that he was just pretending to be stupid. It was precisely because of his realistic acting that he was deeply loved by Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. An Lushan finally got his wish and conspired to rebel, which was known as the "Anshi Rebellion" in history. The war broke out and the people were in dire straits. The world-famous and powerful Tang Dynasty came to a standstill, laying the groundwork for the subsequent Five Husties in China.

3, Qin Hui

Speaking of traitorous ministers, the first thing people may think of is Qin Hui. During his two years in Jingkang, he was arrested together with the Hui and Qin sects, and later conspired to escape back to Lin'an, where he campaigned for an armistice and peace. Later, he won the favor of Emperor Gaozong and gained power in both the government and the public. During his reign, he vigorously encouraged truces, peace, surrender, tribute, land cession, and compensation, and finally conspired to kill Yue Fei, becoming a famous treacherous official in Chinese history.

4, Wang Zhaoming

This name may be unfamiliar to everyone, but his other name is probably known to everyone in China. Yes, you may have thought of it, he is Wang Jingwei , and Wang Zhaoming is his real name. Joined the revolution at an early age. He once wanted to assassinate the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Zaifeng, but failed.

During the reign of Yuan Shikai , he returned from studying in France. Under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, he came to Shanghai in 1919 and founded the magazine "Architecture". Later, in 1924, after becoming the Minister of Propaganda Department, his thoughts began to rebel at this time. During the Anti-Japanese War, he defected to Japan and became a traitor despised by everyone at the time. With his help, countless heroic sons and daughters and anti-Japanese warriors died in vain and were infamous for thousands of years. He deserves it.

The emergence of treacherous ministers is a historical necessity and is also a characteristic of the feudal system. The emperor has monopoly power and appointments are based on happiness and anger. It is almost impossible to prevent the emergence of treacherous ministers. However, future generations can use history as a mirror and people as a mirror to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
