Why was Jia Yuanchun sentenced to death? What did she do before she died?

In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Yuan Chun, as a noble concubine, is extremely wealthy and has realized the ideal that all women dream of. The world is so big and there are so many women, there are only a handful of women who can become empresses. Among the many empresses, it is rare to be able to stand out and become a noble concubine.

If Yuanchun died like an old concubine, many princes, ministers, and wives of concubines would go to pay their respects. Such a life is glorious.

Yuanchun did not have the good fortune of the old concubine, and Yuanchun's ending was miserable. Judging from Yuanchun's verdict and Dream of Red Mansions, she was sentenced to death by the emperor.

So why was Yuanchun sentenced to death? What taboo did she commit?

Anyone who achieves great things must be the kind of person whose joy and anger cannot be expressed in his appearance, whose likes and dislikes cannot be expressed in words, whose joys and sorrows do not overflow on his face, who do not follow heaven in life and death. Although Liu Bei was born into a noble family, his father died young and his family was poor. He made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. However, the difference between Liu Bei and many hawkers is that he "keeps his joy and anger hidden, likes to make friends with heroes, and fights for them when he is young. He does not express his likes and dislikes, does not overflow his face with joy and sorrow, and does not follow heaven in life and death." It is precisely because Liu Bei has Only with this kind of mind can he persevere and finally divide the world with Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

The first taboo is that Yuanchun was full of joy and anger, and the emperor was afraid of corruption and bribery in the Jia family.

Yuan Chun occupies the position of a noble concubine. She is no longer a little daughter. If she wants to keep her status, then she should "keep her emotions and anger in plain sight, her likes and dislikes in words, and her joys and sorrows not overflowing." noodle". Happiness or anger are not shown on the face; likes and dislikes are not expressed; sadness or joy are not shown.

But Yuan Chun is not such a person. Yuan Chun's character is similar to Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. He always expresses his feelings directly and vents his emotions.

During her wedding in Yuanchun, she saw the splendor and luxury of the Grand View Garden. Although she silently sighed that it was too luxurious, she still liked it very much. I was very happy to go home to visit my relatives, and even reported the grand occasion to the emperor. What the emperor fears most is that his relatives will be powerful and affect the royal rule.

The Jia family was actually pretending to be fat, but the emperor and other ministers did not know. They believe that the Jia family has such abundant funds to build the Grand View Garden. The source of the funds is a mystery, and it is likely that they came from corruption and bribery. The emperor would be wary of Jia's misdeeds relying on Yuanchun.

The second taboo is to express your likes and dislikes in Yuanchun.

Since Yuanchun is a noble concubine, she should always pay attention to her words and deeds. But Yuanchun didn't pay attention to his words and deeds.

When visiting relatives, Yuanchun said to Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others: "Since I was sent to a place where no one can see people that day, it is so easy for me to go home today. Instead of talking and laughing, I started to cry. I'll be there soon, but I don't know how long it will be before I come back." When I said this, I couldn't help but choke up again.

Yuan Chun's words revealed that she did not want to go to the deep palace, and regarded the palace as a place where no one should be seen. If these words reached the emperor's ears, would the emperor still favor her? The emperor was most taboo about people who were in Cao's camp and whose hearts were in Han. The emperor would think: I favor you so much, but you are not grateful. Instead, you regard my place as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den! Yuanchun, since you don't like living in the palace, what use do I need from you!

Yuan Chun also told Jia Zheng that he did not like palace life and envied pastoral life.

Yuan Chun said: "A farm house, even if it is made of salt, cloth and silk, can eventually gather family happiness; although now it is extremely rich and has all kinds of flesh and blood, it is ultimately boring!" The palace is a place that many people yearn for. , Yuanchun is so blessed that he doesn’t know how to be blessed, he yearns for the life of the poor, and feels that the palace has separated your flesh and blood. What did the emperor think after hearing Yuanchun's words?

The emperor will think: I gave you a noble life and the glory of a noble concubine, but you are so ungrateful. Why should I pamper you? During the wedding ceremony, there were so many palace maids and eunuchs. When Yuan Chun spoke like this, did you secretly resent me for separating your flesh and blood? Yuanchun committed the taboo of expressing his likes and dislikes openly.
