The demise of the Jia family did not happen overnight, and judging from the cause of the incident, it should be traced back to the "bad thing" of Prince Yizhong Lao Chitose, the abdication of the Emperor Taishang and the ascension of the emperor to the throne. Since then, the Jia family has been standing on the cliff.
"Taking sides" is undoubtedly the beginning of the Jia family's mistakes. As generations of courtiers of the dynasty, they did not side with the new emperor in the first place, and naturally did everything wrong, and eventually led to the destruction of the raided family.
Of course, the essential problem is the change of the old and new interests of the dynasty, and this does not matter.
This article will remove the historical past, time back to the beginning of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the fuse of the real crisis of the Jia family is undoubtedly the huge impact of "Qin Keqing's death".
Mr. Liu Xinwu interpreted Qin Keqing's origin, and personally expressed his disagreement. The outcome of the Jia family was not caused by Qin Keqing, but the position and problems shown by the Jia family at Qin Keqing's funeral.
For example, Qin Keqing's funeral specifications are arrogant.
For example, Qin Keqing used the "quasi-emperor" Shou material of the former Prince Yizhong's old thousand years old.
For example, the King of Northern Jing illegally attended Qin Keqing's funeral and had obvious intentions to win over the Jia family and form a party.
These were enough to make the Jia family alert, jealous and angry with the emperor!
The Jia family's defeat in not caring about the emperor's position and arrogant attitude had nothing to do with Qin Keqing's identity. Even if it was someone else who died that day, the Jia family should be damned!
However, the most far-reaching influence on the Jia family was not Qin Keqing, but Lin Ruhai, who was thousands of miles away and died on the same day as Qin Keqing.
Cao Xueqin did not clearly state the date of Qin Keqing's death, but it was clear from the time speculation.
First of all, the time of Qin Keqing's death was close to the middle of the night. At that time, Wang Xifeng had just slept, and it was not yet midnight. The ancients slept early and generally fell asleep before 9-11 o'clock.
Regarding the cause of Qin Keqing, the author did not fully explain, she fell ill after August 15, and it was fashionable and not good until the winter solstice. Zhang Youshi's medicine did not fully work. Then Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu got the news that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill at the end of the year, and after the two set off, Qin Keqing suddenly died, making everyone nahan.
It seems to be sick and dead, but the verdict picture is clearly Tianxiang upstairs hanging himself. But at that time, Qin Keqing could not go up to the Tianxiang Building.
Secondly, once Lin Daiyu left, and then followed by Qin Keqing's death, it seems that the time is only right in January and February. However, the author secretly confessed the date of her death. It is only necessary to deduce from the time of Lin Ruhai's death.
(Fourteenth) This day is the fifth day of the fifth day... As they were making a fuss, the people replied, "Zhao'er, who went to Suzhou, has come." Sister Feng hurriedly called in. Zhao Er hit Qian'er please be safe. Sister Feng then asked, "What did you come back for?" Zhao Er said, "The second master sent back." Old Master Lin Gu was absent on the third day of the first month of September. The second master took Aunt Lin with him to send Aunt Lin to Suzhou, and he returned at about the end of the year.
Lin Daiyu returned to Yangzhou at the end of the year to serve Lin Ruhai, and after nine months, Lin Ruhai died on the third day of September of the following year. Summoning the child to return to report the funeral for at least a month. After Lin Ruhai's death, he did not return immediately, but only returned to Beijing when Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu returned to Suzhou when the coffin was returned.
The day of Zhao Er's return was Qin Keqing's 57 Zheng 5, just in the early month of his death, corresponding to the date of Lin Ruhai's death.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" is a novel, and it is impossible to have so many coincidences. Since Lin Ruhai died on the third day of the first month of September, it is undoubtedly an important signal, and there is a strong metaphor for Qin Keqing's death. All because Lin Ruhai died at the time of Death and Qin Keqing died in Hai, it corresponded exactly day and night in the twelve hours of the day. One is before noon during the day and one is before midnight in the evening.
Pay special attention to the date of "the third day of the first month of September", Bai Juyi's "Twilight River Yin":
A remnant of the sun paved the water, half of the river is half red.
Poor three nights in early September, dew like a pearl moon like a bow.
"The sun and the moon are the same as the sky" has a strong imperial metaphor in ancient times. Li Bai described it as "double hanging sun and moon shining on Qiankun", referring to Li Longji, emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and Li Heng of Emperor Suzong of Tang after the Anshi Rebellion.
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor stand side by side, and the situation of "the sun and the moon are the same day" applies.
The Jia family, as an old vassal of the Taishang Emperor, was raided for not submitting to the new emperor. The author gives strong hints through the dates of death of Lin Ruhai and Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing's death was the fuse for the Jia family to raid the family. But the key is not as good as Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai was the emperor's hand-picked tanhua and salt patrol royal history, and he was also the Jia family's dragon-riding son-in-law and aunt. On behalf of the emperor, he tried, co-opted, and gave opportunities to the Jia family.
Lin Ruhai "broke the connection" between the emperor and the Jia family, and the Jia family had the ability to find a balance point from the temple and not to go the wrong way.
However, Lin Ruhai and Qin Keqing died at the same time. Qin Keqing's funeral was feared by the emperor, and Lin Ruhai's death cut off the Jia family's direct contact with the emperor. The emperor had no choice but to make Jia Yuanchun a concubine of Xiande as Lin Ruhai's "substitute".
However, Jia Yuanchun's wisdom, stance and mind are not enough to replace the important role of his uncle Lin Ruhai.
Jia Yuanchun's provincial relatives were even more arrogant and unscrupulous in response to the will of the Emperor Taishang. Not only did it hollow out the Jia family, but it also completely extinguished the emperor's hope for the Jia family, and the two sides broke the righteousness and absolutely only you and me.
Cao Xueqin's death on the same day as Lin Ruhai and Qin Keqing not only implied that there was a problem with the Jia family's position, but also proved that they had severed relations with the emperor at this time. From then on, he was no longer a loyal minister who bowed down to share the emperor's worries, but a rebellious thief who went to the opposite side of interests. The emperor could not tolerate such a Jia family, so he chose the opportunity to copy them.
Lin Ruhai's death was more far-reaching than Qin Keqing's death. The characteristics of "Dream of the Red Chamber" are also more important the more understated.
