Chapter 30: There is one less Zhao Gou kneeling in front of Yuewang Temple!
[When mentioning the death of Wu Mu Yue Fei, we have to mention a famous tyrant in history - Zhao Gou! ]

[Wang Zengyu, a famous historian who is dedicated to studying the history of Liao, Song and Jin, once pointed out in his book:]

【Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of Song, was known as the ruler of the restoration, but in reality he was weak and incompetent, and he was content with mediocrity.】

[He was deeply afraid of the power of the Jin people, so he compromised and sought peace, treating the safety of the country as a joke. His crimes are too numerous to list.]

【Killing loyal officials, framing Yue Fei, and ruining the cause of resisting the Jin army. 】

[He is extremely licentious and lustful, and treats women as playthings, and abuses and kills them, using every possible means. His behavior is worse than that of animals, and is truly a great shame for the world.]

[Although he holds the position of an emperor, he does not have the virtue of an emperor.]

[They live in comfort and comfort, seek pleasure, and disregard the safety of the country. Everything they do is driven by their own desires, and they have no regard for the country or the nation! ]

[Therefore, I say that Zhao Gou is indeed a sinner in history. His sins are grave and unforgivable! ]

……

[The words "the sin is grave and unforgivable" are enough to show how much the old gentleman hates Zhao Gou! ]

[As an emperor, Zhao Gou has no virtues of an emperor, and he does not have the blood of an emperor at all! ]

[For the sake of his own luxurious living, he allowed his father and brother to be humiliated by the Jin people, his mother to become a prostitute, his first wife and concubines to be humiliated by the Jin people and become slaves to vent their anger, and his five daughters to be insulted by the Jin people and whipped day and night! ]

[Her mother, Empress Dowager Wei, and her sister, Princess Roufu, both served the same husband and gave birth to two children! ]

[His brothers, nephews and nephews were sold as slaves! Even he himself was frightened by the Jin people and became physically impotent! ]

[Such a shameful thing, any normal person would want to fight to the death with the Jin people! ]

[However, the frightened Zhao Gou only knew how to seek peace and pay tribute to the Jin people, completely ignoring the will of the people. He played a good hand badly and was cowardly and incompetent. Even the historians of the Yuan Dynasty in later generations called him a "sad man"! ]

[In fact, the Southern Song Dynasty did not lack the opportunity and strength to recover the Central Plains and wash away the shame! ]

[Zong Ze, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong all defeated the Jin army several times and recovered lost territory. Yue Fei won four northern expeditions in a row, and his troops were unstoppable and went straight to Huanglong.]

[But what did Zhao Gou do when he was suffering from "gold phobia", weak and incompetent and just wanted peace? 】

[Appoint treacherous ministers, persecute loyal officials, and be servile to the Jin people! ]

[In the early stage, Zhao Gou wanted to seek peace, but the Jin people were in full swing at that time and ignored him. Zhao Gou was forced to appoint Li Gang, who advocated war, as prime minister.]

[But behind the scenes, he particularly trusted a series of surrenderists such as Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan who advocated moving south and living in a corner. Later, he appointed Qin Hui, who had been captured by the Jin people, as prime minister.]

[In order to express his determination to seek peace with the Jin people, he also removed the military power of the three generals Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Yue Fei to please the Jin people, and even fabricated a wrongful case against Yue Fei to further express his determination to seek peace with the Jin people, and personally destroyed his own Great Wall! ]

[It can be said that the death of Wu Mu Yue Fei is closely related to Zhao Gou! ]

Barrage!

——What a curse! There is one less Zhao Gou kneeling in front of Yuewang Temple!
——If he wasn’t the emperor, he would have to kneel!

——I really don't understand, what's wrong with marching north? You are an emperor, are you afraid of being robbed of your throne by welcoming back two captives? Are you sure? Have you been emperor for so many years for nothing?
——In order to negotiate peace, the Southern Song Dynasty took the initiative to submit to the Jin Dynasty. This was the first case in a thousand years for an orthodox dynasty in the Central Plains, and it completely brought shame to the Han people!

——You are a cowardly bastard. You are so afraid of being an emperor. You really bring shame to your ancestors.

——The military force of the Song Dynasty was actually not weak. The main reason was that Zhao Kuangyin wore the yellow robe in the past. After the success, he gave up the military power with a toast, which led to the Northern Song Dynasty emphasizing civil over military. The Northern Song monarchs were always on guard against military generals and did not trust them at all. As a result, the Song Dynasty suffered repeated defeats in foreign wars and suffered heavy losses.

——The Qin and Yue families have a deep blood feud. Until now, there are still some places that maintain the tradition that the Qin and Yue families do not intermarry!
——Wu Mu, who had fought for his country all his life and worked hard all his life, was killed on a "false" charge. How ridiculous!!!

——I will eat the meat of the barbarians when I am hungry, and drink the blood of the Xiongnu when I am thirsty! I will rebuild the country and face the sky!

……

"Zhao Gou is a man who destroyed his own Great Wall. I was flattering him when I said before that he was unworthy of being a ruler."

Ying Zheng felt his blood pressure rising as he watched the content in the video.

"When his mother, wife and daughter were humiliated, instead of being shameless and brave, he repeatedly begged for peace from the enemy. He is so cowardly and incompetent, he is truly not a human being!"

"As a descendant of the Chinese nation, why are you so weak?"

"What is the Son of Heaven?" "When the Son of Heaven gets angry, millions of people die and blood flows for thousands of miles. This weak and incompetent person has no courage at all. Not to mention the Son of Heaven, he is even worse than the common people of our Great Qin."

……

Three Kingdoms period.

After experiencing the failure of the Fifth Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei looked at Yue Fei's deeds and could not help feeling sad.

"I have the will to kill the thief, but I am powerless to save the situation."

"I really look like Wu Mu Yue Fei."

Zhuge Liang looked at the dark cloud-covered sky above the valley, his entire body soaked by the freezing rain.

I couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

"Liang, you can no longer fight against the enemy on the battlefield."

"How can the vast heaven be so unkind to me..."

.........

"It's Wu Mu Yue Fei."

Hongwu period.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion: "We have always respected Yue Wumu for his loyalty, integrity and filial piety."

"We still remember what Yue Fei said: If civil officials do not love money and military officials do not value their lives, the world will be peaceful!"

"Look, what a great thing to say! People like this are heroes in our hearts!"

"On the other hand, Zhao Gou was a child who killed loyal officials and had no merits of being an emperor. However, he bestowed upon Qin Hui, a treacherous minister, the title of King Shen and posthumously named him Zhongxian."

"How absurd and ironic!"

Old Zhu was very angry.

"Sima Yi and Zhao Gou are the eternal sinners of China!"

"If there are more people like this, I'm afraid our children won't even know what loyalty and righteousness are in the future!"

"That's why we want to posthumously confer the title of King of E on Yue Fei, and give him the title of 'Wu Mu Zhong Wu Wang'! We must reverse this unhealthy trend!"

"Not only do we want to posthumously confer the title of King of E on Yue Fei, we also want to posthumously confer the title of 'Martial Saint Guangxiao King' on him again!"

"Let all people in the world remember Yue Fei! Let everyone in the world know that he is the pride of us Han people!"

In fact, during the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese martial saint has always been Yue Fei, not Guan Yu.

The title of God of War was indeed conferred posthumously on Yue Fei by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It was not until the Qing army entered the pass and the Manchus took control of the government that Guan Yu's status was gradually elevated, replacing Yue Fei's status as the Martial Saint with Guan Yu.

The main reason for this is that Yue Fei advocated the "Northern Expedition", and his image of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In order to maintain its own legitimacy and prevent this patriotic sentiment from infecting the people and causing more people to join the anti-Qing and restoration of Ming ranks, under the promotion of the Qing Dynasty and folk beliefs, the image of Yue Fei as the Martial Saint was gradually replaced by Guan Yu.

"But what makes us most angry is the fate of this pair of tyrants and treacherous ministers!"

"After the treacherous prime minister died, the incompetent emperor bestowed upon him the title of King Shen and posthumously named him Zhongxian. It was not until fifty years later that this incompetent prime minister was punished!"

"As for the incompetent emperor Zhao Gou, he was resented by the gods and the people for killing Yue Fei. He lived in fear of assassins all day, fearing that someone would kill him to avenge Yue Fei. In order to save his life, he passed the throne to the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin and became the emperor. He lived peacefully until he was 81 years old."

"God is so unfair!"

Zhu Biao also sighed: "Born in an era that values ​​civil service over military service, there are so many generals who are loyal to the country and go against the tide. I don't know whether I should be sad or thankful."

"I still remember when I was young, I read the history of the Song Dynasty. The history book said that the famous general of the Song Dynasty, Zong Ze, wrote to Zhao Gou many times to request a northern tour and strongly advocated returning the capital to Tokyo, but Zhao Gou did not dare to do so."
