In front of Yue Fei’s tomb on Beishan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou, five hands were cut back and tied to the portrait behind them. Two of them are who killed Yue Fei , Southern Song Prime Minister Qin Hui and his wife Wang .
There are often tourists who come to worship Yue Fei. When they pass by Qin Hui’s kneeling statue, they will reach out and slap their hands a few times, resulting in the dark portrait, with only two cheeks shiny.
There are many treacherous ministers in history, and every dynasty and every generation, but if you end up like this, you will not be able to get peace after your death. Qin Hui is unprecedented and has never come.
In modern times, if parents have been sentenced and sentenced to prison, it will affect their children's future, and the same is true in ancient times.
Qin Hui left a stigma for all ages, making His descendants lose their faces, and wherever they go, they are pointed at .
innocent descendant of the Qin family
Qin Hui had a descendant who passed the exam. When the emperor happily summoned him, he suddenly found that his ancestor was actually the treacherous minister Qin Hui, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
However, this new top student cleverly used a sentence that is still well-known today to resolve the crisis at that time.
But after all, with the title of Qin Hui's descendant, it was embarrassing to walk in the court and could not be valued by the emperor. So the talented man used a move and expressed his determination to repent for his ancestors.
Later, the emperor was grateful for his sincerity and appreciated his talent. He finally entrusted his important tasks to enable his abilities to be displayed. With his efforts, the Qin family was a family of aristocratic families until the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
is a talent called Qin Dashi . On the surface, he is a descendant of Qin Hui, but is not a descendant of the direct descendant of .
The ancestor of Qin Dashi was Qin Hui's brother Qin Zi. During the Southern Song Dynasty, although he was an official in the same dynasty as Qin Hui, he never joined such a younger brother.
my younger brother is the prime minister and enjoys all his glory, but Qin Zi would rather take his family to live in seclusion elsewhere. His upright behavior was highly praised by the world at that time. His sons were not influenced by Qin Hui, and most of them went smoothly in their careers.
Qin Dashi, born during the Kangxi period, was from Nanjing. The top scholar in high school in the 17th year of Qianlong. He was already quite old at that time and was almost in his forties.
overcome all obstacles, and Master Qin finally got rid of his competitors and came to Qianlong, waiting for the emperor's final lecture. Everything went well, but Qianlong suddenly had a question about his surname and asked Master Qin if he was a descendant of Qin Hui of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Later generations cleverly resolve the emperor's suspicion
This question is difficult to answer. If you answer truthfully, it will definitely cause criticism, and your career may be ruined. Let's tell lies, the emperor will be clear after checking. The crime of deceiving the emperor is a death sentence. No matter how you answer, the answer cannot satisfy Qianlong.
Fortunately, Master Qin stabilized, and he said to the emperor: Yes, but One emperor, one minister . As soon as these words were said, not only did they admit that he had a relationship with Qin Hui, but they also firmly stated that he and Qin Hui were not the same.
The embarrassment was relieved, but Qianlong still had a knot in his heart. Wouldn't it be a destruction of his lifetime's reputation by tyrants?
So Qianlong sent someone to investigate the family background of Qin Dashi, and then he found out that Qin Dashi was not the descendant of Qin Hui, but a descendant of Qin Zi. He also knew that Qin Zi was an honest official back then, and he drew a clear line with Qin Hui.
can After all, Qin Zi and Qin Hui are brothers, and it is still difficult for Qianlong to pull out . So Master Qin was hung aside in a little embarrassed manner.
It’s a coincidence that Mr. Qin responded to the invitation of other literati and visited Yue Fei’s tomb together. These literati knew that Qin Dashu had a connection with Qin Hui, so they teased him and asked him to write poems.
This unkind behavior is undoubtedly an exposing scars. Fortunately, Master Qin has long been accustomed to it. Since he became sensible, he has written many poems criticizing Qin Hui. He also understands that when others talk about Qin Hui's evil deeds, they will definitely think of him.
Master Qin took a pen and wrote these two sentences in front of Yue Fei's to express the guilt of the descendants of the Qin family towards Yue Fei.
" person was embarrassed from Song Hou's name Hui; I was ashamed of being Qin when I arrived at the grave"
not only admitted his origin positively, but also apologized to Yue Fei again. When others saw this, they all admired Master Qin's mind and literary talent.
As the top scholar chosen by the emperor, Master Qin was not proud, but instead lowered his attitude, but he did not feel ashamed of Qin Hui because of this relationship, which made people admire him.
His talent and grandeur were also appreciated by Qianlong. He promoted him more and asked him to be the examiner of the scientific examination, and he was admitted to the Hanlin Academy to be the editor of , and was responsible for to compile national history .
Hiss Qin did not disappoint Emperor Qianlong's cultivation and selected countless talents for the court. Qianlong promoted him again and made him the princes' teacher.
The Pope's errands can't be done with knowledge. They need talent and virtue, and can convince the public. Only those with excellent character and high moral character can teach the prince.
This shows that at first, because of identity issues, people who were taboo in Qianlong were later valued by Qianlong.
