Why was Jia Yuanchun sentenced to death?

The ransacking of the Jia family must have something to do with Jia Yuanchun. But is it cause and effect? I'm afraid not necessarily. There are various signs that Jia Yuanchun is not favored, and the confiscation of the Jia family is not directly related to Jia Yuanchun's lack of favor.

As a veteran of the Supreme Emperor, the Jia family was eventually confiscated. According to the setting of "A Dream of Red Mansions", this was the result of the emperor's new power defeating the old power of the Supreme Emperor. So what is the truth? This article will reveal them one by one for you.

Robbing the Jia family is definitely a serious crime, but if the crime does not lead to death, at most it will lead to exile. Judging from the fact that Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan, Jia Huan, Qiao Jieer, etc. were all acquitted, it can be seen that the Jia family was leniently punished after the house was ransacked. The punishment for the first offender would not be too serious, and at most it would be exile. However, Jia Yuanchun was given death? Why is this? To clarify this key point, we need to reinterpret the important clue of distinguishing right from wrong in twenty years. Distinguishing right from wrong for twenty years has always been controversial. It is certain that it has nothing to do with Jia Yuanchun entering the palace for twenty years. She was less than thirty years old when she died, so it was impossible for her to stay in the palace for that long. Regarding this sentence, Jun Jian Yakan Honglou believes that it should be understood from the perspective of power opposition in Jia Yuanchun's sentence.

Twenty years forward, the Jia family was still the favorite of the Supreme Emperor. Several things happened at that time.

First, before Jia Daishan died, the emperor (the Supreme Emperor) divided the Rongguo Mansion into two. The eldest son Jia She inherited the title, and the second son Jia Zheng inherited the title. The two houses of Rongguo Mansion were divided and their power was greatly reduced.

Second, after Jia Daihua's death, the real power of the "Jingying Jiedushi" controlled by the Ningguo Mansion was transferred to Wang Ziteng. The Jia family completely lost their real power in the military and fell into despair.

Thirdly, the emperor granted Lin Ruhai's father an extra generation of title, allowing Lin Ruhai to marry Jia Min, the daughter of Rong Guogong, who was well matched. The Jia family abandoned martial arts and followed literature.

Fourth, Jia Jing had previously passed the imperial examination in Yimao Branch. Jia Zheng was also going to take the imperial examination, but his path to the imperial examination was terminated because of the emperor's decree to grant officials. The Jia family's imperial examinations never recovered.

Fifth, Jia Zheng was a sixth-rank official when he entered the ministry to study. In more than 20 years, he was only promoted to a first-rank official and became a fifth-rank Yuanwailang. Even if they are based on seniority, they will be promoted early unless someone keeps suppressing them.

Judging from the "grace" the Emperor has always shown to the Jia family, the reason for the rapid decline of the Jia family is related to the Emperor's repeated "favor". The apparent grace actually weakens the Jia family, and the emperor's plans continue to grow. A slap in the face and a sweet date will make the Jia family burst into tears of gratitude.

For the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, the Jia family, King Beijing and other princes and princes were unstable factors in the Emperor's governance. Seeing Jiao Da lawlessly shouting at Jia Rong: "Red knife goes in, white knife comes out", you know that once the four kings and eight princes and this group of powerful forces want power and an army have evil intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. Cutting off vassal vassals and seizing nobility is the top priority that every dynasty must do. It has been done from the emperor to the emperor. However, this generation of emperors obviously had great ambitions and wanted to completely solve the trouble. He and his father and son, the Supreme Emperor, one played a red face and the other a bad face. They teamed up with their subordinates to create a big "scam", which was aimed at the Four Kings and Eight Gongs.

The reason why Jia Yuanchun died was that she discovered the "secret" that had been targeting the Jia family and the four princes and eight princes and other meritorious officials twenty years ago.

There are many clues about the scam of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.

First, externally, the Supreme Emperor expressed his discord with the Emperor by supporting the four princes and eight old ministers. For example, Jia Yuanchun's promotion was related to the Supreme Emperor. The Grand View Garden was ordered by the Supreme Emperor regardless of the emperor's opinion.

Second, the Supreme Emperor continued to cultivate the ambitions of King Beijing and others. Wang Xifeng's joke about deaf people setting off firecrackers in Chapter 54. Those who carried the firecrackers were the Jia family of the King of Beijing and others, and the one who lit the firecrackers was the Supreme Emperor.

Thirdly, Dai Quan is the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. He is not only powerful, but also very old. He is an old eunuch in the era of the Supreme Emperor. Daming Palace, also called Dongnei, was originally the residence of the Supreme Emperor in the Tang Dynasty. After Jia Yuanchun was promoted, Jia Zheng went to the East Palace to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor.

Fourth, Dai Quan sold Jia Zhen a fifth-grade dragon ban captain to Jia Rong. "Longjingwei" in turn means "Longjingwei", which means being unruly to the emperor.

If Jia Rong followed Long Jinwei to rebel, wouldn't the Jia family suffer? Qie Longjingwei accepted all the children of the princes' families of the dynasty. Fatty Feng, the governor of Yongxing, was a newly rich man, and he wouldn't sell it for money.

When these second-generation ancestors commit any crime, no one of them can escape.

The emperor stood on the moral high ground in one fell swoop. He disregarded the agreement between his ancestors and the rich and nobles and punished these "rebellious ministers and traitors".

On the fifth day, Jia Zhen met Dai Quan at Dou Fengxuan. ?Bee? refers to bees, sparrows, and sparrows, and is one of the four famous scams in ancient times. Its composition is complex and lifelike. It often takes people's lives to break up before they wake up. Dou Fengxuan? The name of Zhiyanzhai Biaoyuxuan is thought-provoking, which implies that the Jia family has fallen into a shocking scam arranged by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. The purpose is to lure the four kings and eight princes and other old officials into the trap. In order to eliminate them, cut down the vassal and seize the nobility.

There was no capital crime in the confiscation of the Jia family, but Jia Yuanchun was sentenced to death because she discovered the layout of the Supreme Emperor in the past twenty years and the purpose she set with the emperor to weaken and eliminate the four kings and eight princes and other meritorious ministers. Horrible deception by powerful forces.

The secret was discovered by Jia Yuanchun, and the emperor was afraid that the news would be leaked, so he killed her to silence her.

In this regard, Jia Yuanchun's song "Hate the Impermanence" also says "My son's life has entered the grave, and my family needs to step back and leave early" is another proof.
