Fun Kan Red Chamber 312: Sacrifice to the princess, Jia Mu is respected in the east, courtesy to the elders, and Wang Ye is honored in the west
After the death of the old lady, Jia Mu and others entered the court every day to sacrifice. If they could not go home during the morning, afternoon, and evening worship, the Jia family rented a "lower place" nearby for Jia Mu and the Second Lady of Xing Wang to rest.
The place that the Jia family valued was very large and clean, not only did they rent a house, but the Northern Jing Palace also rented it. The two families get together and "take care" of each other. And it is this "mutual care" that finally takes their lives.
(Fifty-eighth time) One day was the Great Festival of the DPRK, and Jia Mu and the other five went, first going to the lower place to have some snacks and snacks, and then entering the DPRK. After the breakfast is over, fang retreats to the lower place, uses the breakfast, rests for a while, re-enters the court to wait for the completion of the second festival in the middle and late evening, and the party goes out to the lower place to rest, and returns home after dinner. But it so happens that this place is the temple of the family of a high official, which is burned by bhikkhunis, and the houses are extremely pure. In the east and west courtyards, the Rong Mansion took the East Courtyard, and the Northern Jing Palace took the West Courtyard. The young concubines feasted every day, and saw Jia Mu waiting in the East Courtyard, going in and out of the same place with each other, and taking care of them. The outside details are not exhaustive.
The more understated descriptions of the government are involved in "Dream of the Red Chamber", the more rigorous it is, and it must not be missed.
As mentioned above, after Jia Mu went out, the slaves formed parties at home for personal gain, oppressed the good, and other foreshadowings, which was an allusion to the Jia family's own problems.
To the emperor, the Jia family was like that hateful slave, who did not work well but left endless disasters. It is the internal cause of the jia family's downfall.
This time, he leased the lower place at the same time as the King of Northern Jing, which reflected the external causes of his future defeat.
So, the Jia family and the King of Northern Jing rented a courtyard as the "lower place", what is the problem of careful consideration? Let's talk about it in this article.
First of all, the King of Beijing was the "leader" of the "Four Kings and Eight Dukes" gang to which the Jia family belonged.
The Four Kings and Eight Dukes were the "collective names" of the twelve old ministers who fought together in the era of the Second Duke of Ningrong and made the greatest contributions. The Jia family has two princes, occupying two seats in it, which can be called the head of the eight dukes, and the overall strength is not weaker than that of a prince.
The King of Northern Jing was the most meritorious in that year, and to this day he still holds the position of king of the county in his family. The descendants of the other three kings no longer inherit the "prince", like the Nan'an County's royal palace, but the Nan'an princess is still a former princess. There was no duke on the eight-kilometer side, and the hereditary first-class knighthood of Jia Yu in rongguo mansion was considered high, and only Jia Mu was still the duke of the country.
However, the four kings and eight dukes are only a title, which is the embodiment of the glory of the "comrades-in-arms" of the old heroes of that year, not an interest group. It is very different from the four major families of Jia Shi Wang Xue.
The four major families are a community of interests, "one prospers and one loses".
The four kings and eight dukes are twelve interest groups, each with its own sphere of influence.
It was only because of the former "comrade-in-arms" that they maintained friendship with each other, unlike prince Zhongshun, who did not have contact with each other.
However, although the Jia family and the Northern Jing Royal Palace are old friends, the relationship may not be very close, and avoiding suspicion is the way of courtiers.
The King of Northern Jing is a prince with real power, and the forces behind the Jia family are intertwined. If these two forces are too close, they will inevitably be suspected by the emperor.
In particular, the King of Northern Jing is more sensitive to the dragon son of the dragon son. The Jia family kept a distance from it before, and normal interaction was the right choice.
However, all the changes came from the fact that after Qin Keqing's death, the King of Northern Jing did not have the permission of the Holy Will to attend Qin Keqing's funeral illegally, which was disrespectful to the emperor. And when he took out the "Wagtail Incense Rosary" given by the Emperor, his "sensitive" identity was exposed.
First, "Partridge" represents "brother". "Poetry Xiao Ya Chang Di": "The ridge is in the original, and the brothers are in distress." "A metaphor for brotherly love.
The emperor gave the Northern Jing King's Wagtail Incense Rosary, which was to win him over and appease him, to express his brotherhood with him, highlighting the strength of the King of Northern Jing and the identity of the Dragon Son.
Second, the King of Northern Jing gave the Wagtail Incense Rosary to Jia Baoyu, not to mention that the imperial gift could not be worn casually, let alone given away at will. Just saying that he gave the emperor's "brotherhood" to people at will shows the contempt for the emperor in his heart.
The partridge originally had the intention of brotherhood and gave it to Jia Baoyu to represent the King of Northern Jing in wooing the Jia family.
As a "prince of real power", what did the King of Beijing do to win over the imperial court ministers? In particular, he also said that "if It is difficult for Ling Lang to work hard at home, he may as well go to the cold often." Although Xiao Wang was not talented, he did not have the most famous people on the sea, and he did not have another favor, and he was gathered with the highest people in the cold. Ling Lang often goes to talk about meetings, and his knowledge can progress day by day. ”
The Northern Jing Palace gathered a wide range of celebrities from all over the world, as if everyone expected it, and in connection with his disrespect for the emperor, "raising soldiers" and wooing the Jia family, the misdeeds in his heart were already about to come out.
Secondly, when interpreting Qin Keqing's funeral on the same day, when the King of Northern Jing illegally attended, he pointed out that the King of Northern Jing would make further moves. The rosary beads of partridge incense, the battle between the King of Northern Jing and the Prince of Zhongshun for Jiang Yuhan, the Xixiang Luohan Scarf, and the robe given to Jia Baoyu all represent the King of Northern Jing's intention to win over the Jia family and form a party.
In particular, on the twenty-eighth occasion, Jia Baoyu gave Jiang Yuhan the "Fan Falling Jade Jue", indicating that the Jia family was determined to formally form a party with the King of Northern Jing, completely tied together (Xi Xiang Luohan Towel), and caused the end of the family raid (fan scattering).
The King of Northern Jing was not a subject or a misdemeanor, and the emperor had long been aware of it. On that day, King Zhongshun came to the door to deliberately make things difficult, which was already a warning to the Jia family.
Unfortunately, the Jia family is like the twelve small dramas in Lixiangyuan who were dismissed, only three small dramas left, leaving the few small dramas that coveted wealth and did not leave.
The emperor had long had the heart of "releasing military power through a glass of wine", and the result was that the Jia family and the King of Northern Jing were greedy for power and wealth, and "unwilling to give up power" and then formed a party misdeed. In the previous two articles, we have already interpreted the Jia family's own problems.
The Jia family's "unwilling heart" is also reflected in the "citron" in Jia Yuanchun's judgment picture. The bitterness in the heart of citron is "unwillingness in the heart". The "bow" in the picture has three meanings.
First, the "palace" represents the identity of Yuan Chun.
Second, through the "military", there will be a conflict of "changes in the Horse Ridge" in the future, and the tigers and tigers will meet and dream big.
Third, through the "bird as far as the bow hides", the emperor is waiting for the rabbit to wait for the Jia family to make a mistake to eliminate the threat.
The closer the Jia family got to the King of Northern Jing, the more they "sought their own death" and gave the emperor a chance.
Finally, this time the old lady died, the Jia family and the King of Northern Jing once again "got together", the two sides were as close as a family, reflecting the reality of "forming a party", and the relationship was clearly revealed.
In particular, the two sides leased the courtyard, and it turned out that the Jia family was the upper and the Northern Jing King was the lower, which attracted people's attention.
At that time, Jia Mu lived in the East Courtyard, and the Princess of Northern Jing and the Princess of Northern Jing only lived in the West Courtyard. This is not possible in the ancient concept of hierarchy.
In ancient times, "upper and lower respect", with the emperor as the coordinate origin, the east is up, the east is the left hand side of the emperor, so the left is up; the west is down, the west is on the right hand side of the emperor, and the right is down. Conversely, with the minister as the coordinate, the right is up and the left is down.
But in any case, the "East Courtyard" is "higher" than the "West Courtyard". In terms of the status of the King of Northern Jing and the Jia family, the King of Northern Jing lived in the East Courtyard.
I believe that when the Jia family rented the courtyard, they would definitely obey it and did not dare to ask for the east courtyard.
But in the end, the King of Northern Jing lived in the West Courtyard and showed "courtesy corporal", respected the elders, and did not take the big "thoughtfulness".
When the Zhen family entered Beijing, when the second girl of the Zhen family was the princess of Beijing, Jia Mu said this, "You two girls are better, and you are less self-respecting and arrogant, so we are intimate." ”
"No self-esteem and arrogance" is the low posture of the King of Northern Jing at this time! The prince of real power, whose status is already high, why is this so true to the Jia family?
If you start from Qin Keqing's funeral, the King of Northern Jing showed a strong intention to win over the party, you can understand that his courtesy corporal and low posture are clearly making the appearance of "Ming Lord" and wooing more people.
Wang Xifeng told the joke of "deaf zi (longzi) firing cannons" during the Lantern Festival, indicating that the King of Northern Jing eventually gathered tens of thousands of "ragtag people". The Jia family is the "backbone" of it.
It can be said that the Jia family itself does not have any major sins that can raid the family. If it were not for the conspiracy of the King of Northern Jing, the Jia family would never have been raided.
The Jia family is like Jiao Da, arrogant and arrogant and unwilling. His heart was full of resentment towards the emperor, and the emperor had taken away the "Jingying Jiedushi Envoy" authority that they controlled, so that the Jia family was marginalized from the center of power. The decline of the family lineage made the Jia family's mind change, and only then did Ling Zhi faint be seduced by the King of Northern Jing and form a party with him.
The old lady was born into the Zhen family, and princess Beijing was the second daughter of the Zhen family, and shortly after the old lady's death, the Zhen family was raided.
The emperor was undoubtedly targeting the King of Northern Jing. At this time, the Jia family was still mixed up with the King of Northern Jing, "going in and out at the same time, all have care", and these eight words alone represent that the Jia family will undoubtedly die.
To find out what happens next, look at the next breakdown!
