In the seventh year of Shaoxing, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou entrusted Yue Fei with the matter of ZTE. However, just four years later, Yue Fei was suddenly sentenced to death. How did Yue Fei step by step from a trusted general to a serious thorn in his side? The first stage: trust. Faced with the crisis of national subjugation, Yue Fei gradually won the trust of Zhao Gou with his impressive achievements: he regained Jiankang and became a senior general in charge of the local area; he conquered Xianghan and became the youngest festival founder in the Song Dynasty; he suppressed Yang Yao and became the Jiedushi of the two towns in the Jin Dynasty. In the seventh year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou asked Yue Fei to take over the Huaixi Army, and ordered the generals to "obey Fei's orders and act as if I were personally marching", showing his absolute trust in Yue Fei. The second stage: suspicion. With the end of the crisis of national subjugation, Zhao Gou's attitude towards Yue Fei gradually changed. In the seventh year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou suddenly refused to hand over the Huaixi Army to Yue Fei for the Northern Expedition, which made Yue Fei resign in anger and went to Lushan without waiting for approval. Zhao Gou was furious about this. The following year, Yue Fei suggested that the emperor establish a prince, which violated the taboo of military commanders not being allowed to interfere in politics, making Zhao Gou secretly suspicious. After that, the more prominent Yue Fei's achievements became and the more he was supported by the army, the less safe Zhao Gou became. The third stage: rupture In April of the eleventh year of Shaoxing, the situation in the Song and Jin Dynasties gradually stabilized. Zhao Gou, who had been planning for a long time, relieved Yue Fei and others from their military power; in July, facing Qin Hui's impeachment, Yue Fei begged the emperor to protect himself, but Zhao Gou ignored him; in September, Yue Fei was falsely accused of treason and thrown into prison; in November, the Jin State made "killing Yue Fei" a condition for peace talks between the two countries. Finally, in the middle of the night on December 29, the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou sentenced Yue Fei to death and set out to destroy all traces of Yue Fei...
