(born 1090, Jiangning, Jiangsu province, China — died 1155, Hangzhou, Zhejiang province) Chief counselor to the Southern Song emperor Gaozong. He maintained external security by signing a peace treaty with the Juchen in the north and internal security by undermining the power of leading generals, notably Yue Fei, who had argued for war with the Juchen and whom Qin Hui executed. For relinquishing northern China to the Juchen, Qin Hui is remembered as a traitor.
