The verse that the world said, "Qingshan is fortunate to bury the loyal bones, and the white iron casts innocent officials." In fact, it is the Yingyun on the tomb of Yue Fei behind the kneeling statue of Qin Ju.
Yue Fei is a loyal general with a reputation in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Qin Hui is a treacherous minister who has been stinking for thousands of years. The story between the two must be known to women and children. In order to commemorate Yue Fei, later generations repaired Yue Fei's tomb and cast five pig iron figures in front of Yue Fei's tomb to comfort Yue Fei's spirit in the sky.
But afterwards, the five iron statues are missing one. Who is missing? Why is it missing?
Yue Fei was an outstanding general in the Southern Song Dynasty. The old saying "shaking the mountain is easy and the Yue family is in trouble" has been handed down to this day. Jin Ren, the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, said that you can see Yue Fei's wise martial arts, Yue Jiajun's tenacity and superior combat effectiveness.
Shaoxing ten years ago, Yue Fei commanded the Northern Expedition. On the way, the people and the rebels were very supportive and responded one after another to resist the Jin Army together. Seeing that the Song Dynasty still has the potential to die and survive, but because Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was timid and fearful, coupled with the slander of the surrenderists such as the prime minister, Qin Hui, Song Dynasty bowed his head to beg the Jinjun. Although Yue Fei was eager to save the country, he ended up still Recall by twelve gold medals.
In 1138, Qin Hui participated in the peace talks as prime minister. The content of the peace talks was to cancel the Song State title and merge it into the Golden State territory, paying tribute every year, requesting the Jin State not to attack the Song Dynasty.
The following year, the imperial court pardoned the world. After Yue Fei received the letter of amnesty, he was frustrated and wrote "Xie Lecture and Amnesty Form". To show that he will not agree to the peace talks and vow to avenge the country. There is no lack of irony between the lines about the peace talks. It was at this time that Qin Hui made up his mind to get rid of Yue Fei.
In the eleventh year of Shaoxing, the Kingdom of Jin was unable to attack the Southern Song Dynasty and was ready to reconcile with Song. At this time, the Song Dynasty began to oppose the heavy generals, especially those who insisted on resisting the gold. Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others.
"Jin Tuo Jie Compilation" records: "Wu Shu's posthumous cypress book said: "You are in peace and petition, and Yue Feifang is a map of Hebei, and I must kill my son-in-law. Yue Fei must be killed, and then He Kecheng also. "
Wanyan Wushu said in his letter to Qin Hui that only by killing Yue Fei can the subsequent peace talks be completed.
So during the peace talks between Da Song and Jin, Yue Fei was caught by Qin Hui and several traitors. The minister was framed and imprisoned. At the same time, Yue Fei’s eldest son, Yue Yun, and Yue Fei’s subordinate Zhang Xian, were also falsely imprisoned. They created an eternal injustice, which is also the source of the notorious “unnecessary” crime in history. Say.
When Song Xiaozong arrived, his loyal minister was rehabilitated and Yue Fei’s soul was comforted. Song Xiaozong remembered Yue Fei for his loyal protection of the country, and was also moved by the spirit of his generals. He was reburied in Qixialing by the West Lake, and was named after him. The posthumous name Yue Wumu was praised by the world.
In addition to repairing the cemetery, the later generations also erected five iron men in front of Yue Fei’s tomb in a kneeling posture to show regret and punishment.
In fact, there were only two people at first, they were Qin Hui and his wife. Perhaps some people would be curious that Qin Hui was the mastermind who framed Yue Fei, and it was reasonable for him to kneel in front of Yue Fei's tomb to confess. Then why did Qin Hui's wife kneel?
There are few records of Qin Hui’s wife in related history books, but we can also find clues from some other books.
Although Wang's wife is a wife, he does not rule the court, but his mind is vicious. The reason why Qin Hui has The heart of killing Yue Fei was largely due to the wicked words of Wang's fanfare on the sidelines, which shows the poison of the heart of the couple.
Ming Dynasty Tian Rucheng's book "Xihu Touring Zhiyu·Nie Fortunately Panhuang" contains: " Juniper wants to kill Yue Feiye, and seeks out his wife Wang Clan under the east window. Wang said: "It's easy to catch a tiger, but difficult to ride a tiger!" His intention was decided. "
probably means that Qin Hui wanted to kill Yue Fei and discussed with his wife Wang in the east window. Wang said: "It's easy to catch a tiger, but it's hard to catch it if you want to let it go." "So Qin Hui decided to kill Yue Fei.
Hui said: "Mrs. Annoying Chuanyu, the East Window incident has happened!" It is said that Qin Hui went to hell after his death and was tortured. Later, the trustee told his wife that Dongchuang's plot to kill Yue Fei was exposed! This is also the source of the term Dongchuang incident.
In 1513, the iron statues of Qin Hui and his wife were already in tatters due to long-term sun and rain. At that time, the commander of General Li Long in Zhejiang Province re-casted the kneeling statues of Qin Hui and Wang Clan in copper, and added another one, Wan Qianmao.
Yue Fei and Wan Tuo had different ambitions, and later Wan Tuo turned to Qin Hui. In the case of Yue Fei, Wan Yumao "contributed to him", forged letters many times, framed Yue Fei's collaborating with the enemy and treason, and worked with Qin Hui as a traitor, and carried out his surrender to the end.
During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Yue Fei's tomb was renovated, and another bronze figure of kneeling was added, that is, Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun and Yue Fei once fought together on the front line, but this person only seeks wealth and does not seek loyalty to serve the country. And he was very jealous. When Yue Fei frequently reported good news, he was defeated, his heart was unbalanced, he was jealous of the capable, and wanted to get rid of it.
finally chose to take refuge in Qin Hui. He was embarrassed and used his identity to buy others and provide false confessions. "Qin Hui Biography" said: "Flying death, Zhang Jun is powerful."
When the bronze figure kneeling statue was renovated later, there were four people but one more. It's just that it was removed later, so who is the iron statue that was removed? Why don't you kneel?
This person was named Luo Ruji, and he was the servant of the palace at the time. He was attached to the prime minister Qin Hui together with Wan Tumao. He could not get rid of the murder of Yue Fei. He has repeatedly played against Yue Fei, slandering Yue Fei's so-called charges of "staying not in" when he was in Huaixi.
Then why did he move his bronze statue later? Don't let him kneel?
In fact, the reason is very simple. Compared with the other four, Luo Ruji is very inconspicuous, almost transparent. Therefore, when the later generations repaired the Yuewang Temple, they felt that he was in a humble position and did not deserve to kneel here, so they removed it.
Someone heard that there was one less person kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb. They thought that the person had been exonerated and was an innocent person, but in fact the reason was just that.
recorded in "Gang Jian Yi Zhi Lu" Volume Bayi: "One day, the small paper of cypress handwriting is paid to prison, and the report is flying to death. Year thirty-nine. Cloud and Zhang Xian both abandoned the city... ····Hong Hao was in Jin, and he played in a wax book:'Those who are afraid of the golden man only fly, and when he calls his father and hears his death, the chiefs drink and congratulate.'”
This paragraph records, It described the situation in which Qin Hui and others deliberately put Yue Fei to death, and also mentioned that the only thing the Jinren feared was Yue Fei. After Yue Fei's death, the Jinren and the Song Dynasty's peace-seekers were all overjoyed, and even to the point of toasting with wine, it really made people really angry.
It can be seen from this that the bad deeds of these kneelings before their lives. So looking back, the behavior of later generations building iron statues to pay homage to Yue Fei after their deaths is indeed reasonable and reasonable. To this day, every time everyone mentions this historical past, they are saddened for the death of such loyal officials.
Actually, in Chinese history, common people’s favorite endings are "good people live long, evil people prematurely decline." Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, people learned of loyal ministers like Yue Fei and refused to work hard all their lives. Stopped, focused only on serving the motherland, but in exchange for such an end, naturally filled with righteous indignation, unwilling to forgive the traitor who framed him.
Until today, Yuewang Temple is still a loyal place in people's hearts. The Chinese have always attached great importance to the aftermath, so even if this story has passed thousands of years, people will never forget it.
These five iron men are the way they pay homage to Yue Fei, and for many years in the future, these men will kneel down, not only to comfort the heroic spirits, but also to be criticized by thousands of people, and cursed forever.
