Liu Chan scratched his head and said, "Father, who are the loyal ministers? I can't tell them apart..."
Zhuge Liang: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. I will inform you."
Liu Chan immediately smiled happily: "It's great to have my father here!"
【During the Shaoxing Period of the Southern Song Dynasty】
On the seventh day of November, the "Shaoxing Peace Agreement" was reached between Song and Jin, and Song became a vassal and paid tribute to Jin.
At this time, General Yue Fei, who was framed and imprisoned by Qin Hui on "false charges", had not yet been released.
At this moment, the appearance of the sky was like a ray of dawn.
Li Ruopu, the Dali Temple official, immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, General Yue is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He would never participate in a rebellion. Please understand!"
Zhao Shi, the Minister of Imperial Clan Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee with my entire family that General Yue is innocent!"
He Yanyou, the Dali Chancellor, said: "Your Majesty, this is God's will. Please redress General Yue's injustice!"
Qin Hui, who had accepted a large amount of bribes from the Jin Kingdom, became anxious and quickly listed several more charges against Yue Fei, intending to put him to death.
"Your Majesty, Yue Fei and his sons were plotting against Wang Gui and Zhang Xian. Moreover, Yue Fei criticized the imperial carriage, and the Yue army refused to advance when it came to aiding Huaixi."
"His intention of rebellion is obvious!"
Upon hearing such a distorted accusation, some loyal and upright officials risked their lives and cursed angrily.
"You, Qin Hui, a despicable villain, are the biggest traitor to our country!"
"Killing loyal and good people, slandering flatterers and monopolizing power, harming people and harming the country, these are unforgivable crimes and will surely be infamous for eternity!"
Qin Hui, who was being scolded, turned pale and blue in the face, and his eyes were extremely fierce.
But the loyal minister was not afraid at all. Instead, he cursed even more fiercely. The other ministers also cursed Qin Hui as a traitor.
However, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou looked at the sky with an unpredictable expression.
At this time, news came from the government office that almost all the scholars and people in the city came to appeal for Yue Fei's injustice, and public outrage arose.
In order to avoid being cursed for eternity in the future, Song Gaozong finally agreed to release Yue Fei from prison.
————
After seeing the light of day again, Yue Fei dragged his wounded body out of the prison with the help of his son.
When he looked up and saw the sky, he couldn't help but shed tears and sigh.
"The shame of Jingkang has not yet been avenged, when will the hatred of the ministers be extinguished?"
"A wise ruler is hard to find! Traitorous ministers bring ruin to the country!"
Yue Lei was still frightened after this incident and could not help but advise: "The military power is in your hands, the superiors are suspicious of you, and there are villains causing trouble. Dad, why don't we stay out of the spotlight for a while."
Yue Fei, who was tortured in prison, looked haggard at this time, but his eyes were still firm.
"For the sake of the Song Dynasty and the people, I, Yue Fei, will fight the Jin army to the end, without stopping, even if I have to sacrifice my life for my country!"
【Late Ming Dynasty】
In the first year of Tianshun, Emperor Yingzong was restored to the throne. General Shi Heng and others falsely accused Yu Qian of plotting to establish Prince Xiang as the heir apparent, causing him and Grand Secretary Wang Wen to be unjustly imprisoned.
On the day of his execution, outside Chongwenmen, Yu Qian was escorted to the execution ground with a wooden yoke on his head and shackles on his feet, but his face remained calm and he faced death calmly.
The streets were filled with people from all over the city, who cried and cried out for justice for him.
The jailers followed orders and remained unmoved.
At this moment, the golden sky appeared and everyone was stunned and watched quietly.
It was not until the sonorous and powerful voice of "Don't kill the meritorious officials" was heard that the city suddenly boiled over.
The people all believed that it was God who was clearing Lord Yu's name, so they all shouted for God to open his eyes, and then rushed forward to stop the escort team from moving forward.
At the same time, in the palace.
Emperor Yingzong of Ming looked at the sky with some hesitation.
After the Tumu Incident, his reputation was probably half ruined.
If he mistakenly kills a loyal minister again, won’t he be infamous for eternity?
Wu Jin, the Marquis of Gongshun, seized the opportunity to remonstrate: "Your Majesty, Emperor Gaozong of Song mistakenly killed Yue Fei in the past, causing widespread public outcry. Today, the sky is revealed. If you mistakenly kill a loyal and good person, you will be cursed for eternity!"
Some officials who were on good terms with Yu Qian also pleaded for mercy.
At this time, the Queen Mother also learned the news and rushed to persuade.
"Your Majesty, please think twice before you act! I am humble and have made great contributions. I am honest and upright, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I absolutely cannot commit acts of treason. Your Majesty, please investigate!"
Under the persuasion of everyone, Emperor Yingzong of Ming gradually began to regret his decision.
After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately sent someone to the execution ground at full speed.
Outside Chongwenmen.
Yu Qian was trying helplessly to persuade the people to leave so as not to be implicated, but the more he loved the people like his own children, the more the people could not bear to see him die unjustly.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a messenger came riding quickly.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Yu Qian's case was unjust and the execution is suspended!"
Upon hearing this imperial edict that sounded like the sound of nature, the people could not help but cheer, and some even cried for joy.
Yu Qian, who had thought he was going to die, now breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that he's afraid of death.
Instead, he was worried that after his death, no one would support the precarious Ming Dynasty.
The loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, who had been upright and honest throughout his life and loved his country and his people, looked at the emperor in the black dragon robe in the golden light curtain with a look of gratitude on his face.
Regardless of his merits and demerits, at least for his subjects, he was a monarch worth following.
