In the "Langya List", the Red Flame case is very widely involved, in this war, the Red Flame Army was destroyed, Lin Xie was cursed, and the King of Qi died.
For King Jing and Mei Changsu, this was a deliberate case of injustice, people could not die in vain, the reputation of the Red Flame Army could not be destroyed, and the court could not be controlled by traitors.
For Jing Concubine, because of this unjust case, she lost the lin family's dependence, and her savior not only died, but also became a rebel.
So for Concubine Chen, she also lost the dependence of her mother's family, and her brothers and sisters-in-law and nephews died of grievances.
From this point of view, Jing Concubine and Concubine Chen face similar situations, and they both hope to avenge and justify their dead relatives.
However, judging from the results, Concubine Jing survived, while Concubine Chen chose to commit suicide.
Concubine Jing was deeply involved with Lin Xie's family, and the King of Jing had a straight temperament, because he always felt that the Red Flame Army had been wronged, so he was disliked by Emperor Liang, and when he was thirty years old, he was still a county king.
As a result, everyone wondered why Jing Concubine was able to survive this conspiracy.
In fact, this question is not difficult to answer.
Whether the Red Flame Unjust Case was an unjust case or not, Emperor Liang knew better than anyone.
He had to do it because his imperial power was threatened.
Lin Xiewei was famous, and Lin Xie's son Lin Shu, under the will of the Empress Dowager, married the southern marshal Nie Phoenix County Lord, the King of Qi, who was known as a virtuous name, and among the people, only the King of Qi was known, not the Emperor. King Qi debated with the emperor in the court, and Emperor Liang felt pressure.
Emperor Liang's throne was originally seized through a coup d'état, and the seat was not reliable enough, and now that he encountered such a threat, the Red Flame Injustice Case had to be done.
After the Red Flame case, all the hidden dangers had been swept away, and what was the need for Emperor Liang to kill them all? As a concubine in the palace, Jing Concubine had no substantive connection with this case, and she was also an insignificant small role, so why did Emperor Liang have to put her to death.
In fact, Emperor Liang not only had no intention of asking for the life of Concubine Jing, nor did he have the intention of asking for the life of Concubine Chen.
Compared with the two harem women, Emperor Liang's main energy had been invested in the crown prince and the honorary king. Both the prince and the honorary king are vested interests in the Red Flame case.
After the death of King Qi, the power of the prince and the king of honor was highlighted, and the court basically became the world of these two people. Therefore, Emperor Liang needed to do a good balance of power and let the prince and the king of honor contain each other.
If this is the case, as the emperor's favorite concubine, even if she is implicated by her son, she will not lose her life in this unjust case, why does she have to choose to commit suicide?
Is it because she is fragile inside and cannot accept the death of a loved one?
As a shogun woman, she can hold a high position in the harem for many years, and Concubine Chen is also a woman who has seen the world. The loss of relatives is naturally sad, and the wrongs of relatives are even more painful, but if there is no clarification of grievances, is Concubine Chen really willing to die with the wind?
Therefore, I personally believe that Princess Chenfei chose to commit suicide not because she was vulnerable inside.
So, is it because of despair?
As long as you live, you always have a chance. Only death is a complete failure.
Concubine Chen is also a smart woman, how can she not know this truth?
Let's imagine what would have happened if Concubine Chen hadn't chosen to commit suicide at the time of the outbreak of this case?
Concubine Chen was a favored concubine, and the emperor did not reduce his favor for her because he was jealous of King Qi.
Concubine Chen was a wise and beautiful woman, and Yan Hou loved her all her life.
If she was still alive, after the Red Flame injustice, even if the emperor wanted to turn the page, I am afraid it would not be so easy. Because those who create the Red Flame Injustice will feel uneasy.
They feared that The Concubines would rise again, and by that time, it would be their time of death.
Just as after Emperor Gaozong of Tang abolished Empress Wang, he remembered his old feelings and went to see Empress Wang, which hastened the death of Empress Wang.
Just as after the Anshi Rebellion, the Yang clan was killed, and the generals demanded that Li Longji must kill Yang Yuhuan.
Therefore, whether Concubine Chen chooses to commit suicide or not, she will be forced to die. He even implicated Concubine Jing and King Jing in the process of forcing her to die.
Then, Concubine Chen's initiative to choose suicide means that she acquiesced to this ending, and this unjust case can be turned over.
This result, although Emperor Liang had a little regret, but it spared all kinds of difficulties; the founders of the Red Flame Unjust Case could sit back and relax, and the battle was completely won; the prince and the king of honor opened a new chapter, and they all had the possibility of becoming the next Emperor Liang; the empress and the concubines began a new round of palace fighting; the interests of all parties were redistributed, and most of these people were benefited.
In this feast of great joy for everyone, everyone is willing to look forward, and who would think of dealing with The Concubine Mother and Son.
From this point of view, Concubine Chen chose to commit suicide, but instead preserved her strength, laying the foundation for the future rise of Concubine Jing and Mei Changsu to support King Jing.
Similarly, from this point of view, Emperor Liang had been snubbing the King of Jing for more than ten years, letting him go on expeditions for many years, without giving in military merit, and all kinds of difficulties and snubs, objectively protecting the mother and son of the King of Jing.
Because of Emperor Liang's attitude, Concubine Jing could live in peace in the harem, and King Jing could reduce attacks from The Hanging Mirror Division and Xie Yu. They could put all their energy into the battle between the prince and the king of honor, but instead made the king of Jing a fish that slipped through the net.
More than ten years passed, Lin Shu incarnated as Mei Changsu and returned, the mother and son of the King of Jing ushered in the best opportunity to fight back, the Red Flame Army was wronged, the King of Jing seized power, and the political ideals of the King of Qi were truly realized.
