After Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen held a funeral of luxury and trespassing, and the following small series will introduce the relevant content for everyone in detail.
The concept of hierarchy in ancient times was very deep, and even after death, funeral rites were divided into three, six, and nine grades, and the coffins used by people of different levels were different after death. According to the "Qinghui Canonical Rules" compiled during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Zi Palace after the death of the emperor and empress of the Qing Dynasty used Nan wood, the golden coffin of the crown prince also used Nan wood, and the color coffin of the prince used fir wood. According to this standard, after Qin Keqing died in the dream of the Red Chamber, the coffin that Jia Zhen chose for her became more and more systematic.
But Xue Pan came to ask, because he saw Jia Zhen looking for a good board, he said: "There is a pair of boards in our wooden shop, called what kind of wood, which is out of the Huanghai Iron Net Mountain and made a coffin, which is not bad for ten thousand years." This was still brought by his father that year, and the original Prince of Yizhong, Old Chitose, wanted it, because he had a bad thing, so he never took it. It is still sealed in the store, and no one dares to bid for it. If you want it, lift it up. Jia Zhen heard that the joy was endless, and ordered someone to carry it. When you look at it, you can only see that the bottom of the gang is eight inches thick, the pattern is like betel nut, the taste is like sandalwood musk, with the hand buckle, the mast is like gold and jade. Everyone was strangely praised. Jia Zhen smiled and asked, "What is the value?" Xue Pan smiled, "Take a thousand taels of silver, but I'm afraid I won't have anywhere to buy it." What is not the price, reward them with a few or two wages. Jia Zhen heard that he was busy and thanked him, so he ordered to undo the saw paste paint. Jia Zhengyin advised: "This thing is probably very enjoyable to people, and it is a high-grade fir tree." "
In this passage, borrowing Xue Pan's words, the coffin that Jia Zhen chose for Qin Keqing was originally asked for by Prince Yizhong Lao Chitose, because he was bad and no one dared to buy it. But Jia Zhen bought it and used it for her daughter-in-law Qin Keqing. At that time, Jia Zheng persuaded him, feeling that this thing was not used by ordinary people, and did not let Jia Zhen buy it, but Jia Zhen did not listen to the advice. In fact, Jia Zhen's overstepped approach this time hurt the Jia family.
So what was the consequence of Jia Zhen's selection of coffins for Qin Keqing in the dream of the Red Chamber?
In the last forty times, he was implicated in the case of Prince Yizhong, which led to the raid of Jia Fu.
The coffin that Jia Zhen chose for Qin Keqing was originally used by Prince Yizhong Lao Chitose, and it was a tree, "the bottom of the gang is eight inches thick, the pattern is like betel nut, the taste is like sandalwood musk, with the hand buckle, the mastiff is like gold jade." ”
It is reasonable to say that such a tree is not something that ordinary people can use, which is also the reason why many people suspect that Qin Keqing is a princess, of course, this is also the reason why Jia Zheng tried to persuade Jia Zhen. It is a pity that Jia Zhen did not listen to Jia Zheng's opinion at that time, but insisted on using a tree for Qin Keqing, and it is obvious that later, implicated in the case of Prince Yizhong, finally caused trouble for Jia Province, resulting in Jia Fu being raided.
Second, the use of trees in vires violates the hierarchical system and recruits crimes for jia fu.
According to the Qianlong Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the Qinghui Canon rules and regulations recorded that after the death of the emperor and empress, the Zi Palace used nan wood, and the crown prince's color coffin used fir wood. However, Qin Keqing's family members of Wupin used a tree, which can be seen that it is overstepped. Moreover, this coffin of the tree is not something that ordinary people can buy, it was left in the Xue family shop after the bad Prince Yizhong had an accident, and later Xue Pan sold it to Jia Zhen in order to dispose of this coffin that no one else dared to buy.
At that time, after Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen was extremely sad and eager to die for Qin Keqing. When Xue Pan proposed that there was such a good board, even if it was the board left by Prince Yizhong, who had done something bad, Jia Zhen couldn't take care of it, for Qin Keqing, at this time he could do everything. He didn't even think about the disaster that would bring ruin to the Jia family in the future.
At that time, Jia Zheng persuaded Jia Zhen, and Jia Zheng thought that such a good wood was not suitable for ordinary people, but Jia Zhen could not listen to anyone who persuaded him under such circumstances. I bought this tree for Qin Keqing, which can be seen to be more than the system.
Once such a situation is reported by the opponent, Jia Zhen, as the patriarch of Jia Province, takes the lead in violating the hierarchical system, and such an act of transgression will bring guilt to Jia Province. Serious disasters will bring ruin to Jia Province.
It can be seen that Jia Zhen should not have given Qin Keqing the coffin of Prince Yizhong, because the use of undesirable trees in the system not only brought criticism to Jia Zhen, but also to Jia Fu.
