Why was Yue Fei, the four great generals of ZTE in the Southern Song Dynasty, killed while the other three were safe and sound?

In the Song Dynasty's struggle against gold, many outstanding generals appeared, among which Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi were called "Four Generals of Zhongxing". Among them, Yue Fei, the most famous and loyal, was killed, and the other three died of natural causes. The reason is actually very simple, that is, there is no room for Yue Fei in Zhao Gou, Song Gaozong.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin attacked Dasong. Yue Fei led Yue Jiajun to resist gold. He has been victorious for decades and made outstanding achievements. It can be said that he is the hope of ZTE in the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei sent troops to the Northern Expedition and lived up to expectations. Has recovered Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places. Zhao Gou repeatedly issued 12 gold plates, ordering Yue Fei to withdraw. Yue Fei had to move troops back to the DPRK and was killed in Fengbo Pavilion on charges of "unwarranted".

Why can't Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou catch Yue Fei? There are the following aspects:

First of all, Yue Fei and Song Gaozong have different goals.

After Song Gaozong Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Shangqiu, he was chased all over the world by Jin Jun, and even fled to the sea, where there was no place to live. I guess he had nightmares when he slept. As long as you think about Zhao Gou's embarrassing experience and situation, you can think that for such a frightened emperor, being safe is the biggest dream. Yue Fei and other hot-blooded generals went north to the Central Plains to recover their homeland. This is normal, but it is of little significance to Zhao Gou. He just wants to be emperor every day, save Jiangnan and enjoy happiness every day.

Second, Yue Fei wanted to welcome Er Sheng, but Zhao Gou didn't.

As a courtier, Yue Fei devoted himself to the Northern Expedition and welcomed the return of Shuangsheng, which was a sign of loyalty. For Zhao Gou, this should also be the embodiment of filial piety, but family ties are fragile in the face of imperial power. If Song Qinzong comes back, how will Zhao Gou treat himself? Although old and fatuous, weak and incompetent, even if he comes back, he may not threaten Zhao, but he may not think so. After all, it is the best choice for Ersheng not to come back, and there is no need to be embarrassed.

Third, Song Gaozong was afraid that Yue Fei's work was out of control.

There were five generations of troubled times before. Military commanders were skilled and powerful, and they wore too many yellow robes. This is the origin of the Great Song Dynasty in Zhao Kuangyin. From this point of view, the suppression of military commanders in the Song Dynasty is unprecedented. After Zhao Kuangyin's success, he couldn't wait to drink a glass of wine to comfort the soldiers, which shows the depth of the military commander's defense. Zhao Gou naturally understood what was going on and put this policy into practice. During the Song-Jin War, military commanders were forced to regain power, but after the relationship between Song and Jin eased, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others were immediately dismissed.

Yue Fei's prestige in the army and the people is too high and he is deeply loved by the people. If the situation is not controlled, the drama of wearing a yellow robe will be staged on Yue Fei again. Of course, judging from the performance of Yue Fei, this possibility should not exist, but Zhao Gou certainly won't think so. Although you will be taken away and your life will not be affected, Zhao Gou won the 12 gold medal, and it is very difficult to recall Yue Fei. In addition, Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou also experienced "Miao-Liu Rebellion" and "Huai Rebellion". As you can imagine, Zhao Gou must be afraid to the extreme at this time. It may be acceptable to stick to the Northern Expedition and welcome back to the Second Saint Zhao Gou before, but from the moment the Twelve Golden medals were issued, Yue Fei was doomed to die a natural death. Whether the Northern Expedition can be successful or not, and whether Ersheng can come back, Yue Fei can still be alive unless he does the opposite, but he can't do it. When the emperor took back the relieving power, Yue Fei's performance was fierce, which strengthened Zhao Gou's intention to kill him.

In contrast, Zhao Gou doesn't have much concern about other "ZTE Four Generals".

Han Shizhong is also a battle-hardened and famous city. Huang Tiandang became famous in World War I and almost captured Jin Wushu alive. The First World War in Dayi Town also played the role of Song Jun, and Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were like-minded. After appreciating each other and Yue Fei being killed, he also complained about Yue Fei. But unlike Yue Fei, Han Shizhong knew how to protect himself and saved the life of Emperor Zhao Gou in his early years, which determined that as long as he handed over the relieving, his life would not be in danger.

Needless to say, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun were not active in the struggle against gold, so they inexplicably joined the "ZTE Four Generals". In fact, there are many people who are more qualified than them. The two men who fought in Jinzhong didn't make much contribution, and they were defeated repeatedly. Moreover, they were afraid of the enemy and fought. Judging from their resumes and experiences, they can only say that their performance is average and they were promoted, which is estimated to be influenced by Han Shizhong. Zhao Gou, however, is more at ease. Liu Guangshi took the initiative to hand over the relieving, and Zhang Jun also readily handed over the relieving, but he also advocated making peace with Xu Jinguo and using Qin Gui to frame Yue Fei. Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun, like Han Shizhong, were both benefactors of Zhao Gou. For those who are not threatened, Zhao Gou is naturally not afraid of them.

In short, as long as the Song Dynasty did not perish, as long as Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou were still there, Yue Fei's death was doomed.
