Qin Hui was the prime minister of the early Southern Song Dynasty and the representative of the "Zhuhe faction". Because he advocated paying tribute to Jin Guo , seeking peace, while suppressing and persecuting the "main warrior", he was also considered a symbol of the traitorous minister. When many people in later generations scolded traitorous officials, they compared them to Qin Hui.
The bronze statue of Qin Hui kneeling down, still stands beside the tomb of Yue Fei in . However, such a big villain has done some "smart things".

The "smart things" of Qin Hui
in the early Southern Song Dynasty, although the imperial examination system had been implemented for many years. However, there are still some channels for recommending to be an official. By relying on letters of recommendation from celebrities or high-ranking officials, they can find a part-of-office position with the governor.
However, the ancient communication was not developed, and there is no current high-end means of distinguishing authenticity such as face recognition. Therefore, there are many bold speculators here to fish in troubled waters.
Just when Qin Hui was prime minister, how brave was such a scholar? He forged a letter from the then prime minister Qin Hui and went to visit the Yangzhou prefect. He felt that the prefect of Yangzhou didn't dare to compare this truth with Qin Hui, so he might be confused and send him an errand.
However, what he didn't expect was that the Yangzhou prefect had a relationship with Qin Hui. He saw the strangeness of this letter and thought it was a fake letter. So he ordered someone to interrogate, and as expected, the scholar did not dare to be tortured, so he was hired directly.
This Yangzhou prefect is also very good at being an official.There is no direct release. Instead, he put together the scholar, forged letters, and confession, and sent his subordinates to Lin'an to give them to Qin Huifa. He was also afraid that if he made a mistake in the trial, he would end up complaining. On the other hand, if it was a genuine forgery, he could ask Qin Hui for merit.
After interrogation, the prefect sent the person to Qin Hui.
When this matter came to Qin Hui, the subordinates thought that Qin Hui was going to re-send the scholar in order to emulate him. But what people did not expect was that Qin Hui not only did not pursue his fault, but instead gave him a qualification to be an official and ordered him to be sent away.
The subordinates didn't know the reason. Monk Zhang Er was really confused, so he asked Qin Hui what was the reason?
Qin Hui said, “I’m not stingy with that official or part-time job, or encourage everyone to do bad things. But you think this man is so courageous to forge the personal letter of the prime minister, can he be a common man? People can't do any great good deeds, but if he escapes to Dali, Xixia, and Jin Guo because of my punishment, he will become our opposite. At that time, the trouble was us. I only give him one now. The official trapped him, this is the result of weighing the pros and cons!"
Qin Hui, as the prime minister of the first dynasty, still has some ability
The author's evaluation: _strong16span strong Qin Hino does not consider the problem of _strong16span Focusing on the surface, but being able to see the deeper reasons behind it, is not surprising, because no ordinary person can be a prime minister!
Another inspiration is,Before we make a decision, in addition to considering the right or wrong of the matter, we also consider the impact of the matter and comprehensively judge the pros and cons to arrive at the optimal solution.
But the same thing happened to Fan Zhongyan , it became a negative teaching material.
Fan Zhongyan's "stupid things"
In addition to being a writer in our textbooks, Fan Zhongyan's other major achievements are also reflected in his defense of the Northwest. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Xixia often invaded the Song Dynasty border. Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi guarded the border. The Xixia people had no advantage.
Fan Zhongyan is not only a writer, but also a famous general. She is bookish, wants to gain fame, and is afraid of being ridiculed by the world for utilitarianism.
So Zhang Sheng and Li Sheng thought of a "coup". They carved their own poems on a stone tablet, paid for them, and walked back and forth in front of Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan's house. .
Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan’s Jiading reported the incident. The two decided that they were suspicious, and were absurd in their actions, and were not usable talents. Therefore, Zhang Sheng and Li Sheng were not summoned, and they were not assigned official positions.
As a result, Zhang Sheng and Li Sheng found out that they had no play here, so they simply went to Xixia and also aliased Zhang Yuan and Li Hao. Zhang Yuan and Li Hao repeated their old tricks in Xixia, inscribed poems everywhere and kept their own names. At that time, the founding emperor of Xixia, Li Yuanhao learned of this and felt that these two people were applying their own names and behaving very strangely.He ordered them to bring them for questioning.
Li Yuanhao thought it was okay, so he ordered someone to bring a question
This question does not matter, Li Yuanhao chatted with Zhang Yuan and Li Hao very speculatively, and when he was happy, he immediately ordered them to be their own counselors. . Because these two people lived on the border of the Song Dynasty for a long time and knew the local situation well, they kept giving advice to Xixia, and they eventually became a major disaster on the border of the Northern Song Dynasty.
If Fan Zhongyan knew the truth about this, he would have regretted his intestines.
Comparing the energy of Qin Hui and Fan Zhongyan, I think that even the poorest people can sometimes have a flash of inspiration, and even the smartest people sometimes make mistakes in calculations! Therefore, we must not be blindly confident.
