Chapter 12 Chapter 11 Qin Keqing's Prototype Revealed (Part 2)

In the layers of interpretation of Qin Keqing's true identity, the prototype of this character has surfaced.In the previous lecture "Qin Keqing's Prototype Revealed", the strange words about her have been gradually deciphered.But there are still some questions that have not been fully resolved. For example, if Qin Keqing's prototype is really a princess-level character, whose daughter is she?In the heavily guarded compound of the Qing palace, how could she escape the search and be sent out of the palace to be adopted?Why did you choose the Cao family to adopt this woman?Why did the Cao family dare to take such a big risk?In the Qing Dynasty where literary prisons were prevalent, Cao Xueqin avoided politics. Why did she use this woman as a prototype to create a character like Qin Keqing who has a lot to do with politics?

In this lecture, I will answer these questions one by one. It is an indisputable fact that it is a deleted work.The author Cao Xueqin and his collaborator Zhi Yanzhai disclosed many times that in the creation of the novel, due to some unexplainable reasons, in fact, it is non-artistic considerations, and the content was deleted.In the detailed interpretation, an obvious trace of deletion appeared in the thirteenth chapter.Zhi Yanzhai clearly pointed out that this time, as many as "four and five" were deleted. The "one" in the thread-bound book is equivalent to two page numbers of the current book. If each page number is calculated at 500 characters, it is deleted. It's almost 2,500 words.With Cao Xueqin's writing style, he can make the image of Miaoyu come out alive with 1,350 characters, and he also associates Miaoyu with Jiamu, Grandma Liu, especially Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai. The interactive relationship between different characters is vividly shown, so it can be estimated how rich and vivid the content in the deleted text in the thirteenth chapter should be.It is true that this episode is relatively short, and compared with the other chapters, it is not well-proportioned in length.

The thirteenth chapter tells the story of Qin Keqing's sudden death and Wang Xifeng assisting in the funeral of Ningguo Mansion.According to Zhi Yanzhai's comments, we can know that the title this time was originally "Qin Keqing's obscenity in Tianxiang Tower", because the text about Tianxiang Tower was deleted, so the title was later changed to "Qin Keqing died and sealed the Dragon Forbidden Captain ".This does not make sense literally. It has been analyzed before and will not be repeated here. So, what was deleted in the thirteenth chapter?Most people guess that it must be about the relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing. The two had sex in Tianxiang Tower, so this must be written.I also think there will be this content, but only this content?I think there must be more than this content. If it is only this content, Cao Xueqin will not delete it, and Zhi Yanzhai will not delete it as soon as Zhi Yanzhai gives him an idea. It is impossible.Because in it, sometimes according to the needs of the plot and the needs of character creation, he also writes some erotic scenes, which are quite explicit, such as Jia Lian having an affair with many girls. Zhi Yanzhai did not propose to delete that paragraph. He sorted out the manuscript back and forth without deleting it.Therefore, it can be judged that among the deleted "Four and Five", there are not only the relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing, but also the political content that must be deleted.

There is political content in the deleted text, which can be seen from the bizarre behavior of the two girls.Qin Keqing hanged herself in the Tianxiang Tower, causing the two girls to react strangely.One is Rui Zhu. After Qin Keqing died, she fell on the pillar and died. If she just saw the master's promiscuity, why would she fall on the pillar and die.Those masters and young masters in the noble mansion don't care, you are my servant, I do such a thing in front of your face, what can you do, you are used to seeing it and you will not be surprised!Do you remember the plot after Second Sister You and Third Sister You arrived at Ningguo Mansion?Jia Jingtundan died. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were not at home at the time. You Shi came to take care of the funeral. She took her stepmother and two sisters from her natal family to Ningguo Mansion to help take care of it.Later, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong came back on horseback, and Jia Rong came back first. At this time, there was a large paragraph describing that he was messing around in front of a maid or something.Because although Second Sister You and Third Sister You are his aunts, he doesn't respect them very much. These two people are not very old, they are also very beautiful, and their personal style is not good. Take advantage.Do you remember that it was written in that time that the girl next to her tried to persuade her, saying that although the two of them are small, they are also from the generation of aunts? Jia Rong said that you are right. .What I am talking about is not the original text, but the general plot, remember?If you hug the girl, you will kiss her mouth, there is a ghost to avoid it!At that time, in the big feudal family, the master had the supreme status, especially the male master. He did not shy away from these girls.If Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing were just having sex in the Tianxiang Tower and Ruizhu bumped into them, it would be bad for Ruizhu, but Ruizhu would not die afterward; Ruizhu must have heard it and absolutely shouldn't heard the words.The words that should never be heard should be the leak of Qin Keqing's real background, and should be political information, that is, the top-secret information of the "Yi" faction of Prince Yizhong's Lao Qiansui faction.So Ruizhu felt that I had been discovered and heard. If I didn't die, the master would put me to death. It would be even worse.The other girl obviously also heard something, that is Baozhu, Baozhu doesn't want to die, Baozhu is smarter than Ruizhu, what method did she take?Thinking that Qin Keqing had no children and no children, I was willing to be her adoptive daughter. I came to drive the spirit, I came to throw the basin, and I came to fill her son's interest and participate in funeral activities. Later, Qin Keqing's coffin was sent to Tiekan Temple She just stayed there and said I would never come back.Of course, this made Jia Zhen very relieved. When Jia Zhen heard that a person had touched a pillar and died, he knew that this person had heard political confidential information. He intends to keep his mouth shut forever, and it doesn't matter if he keeps his mouth shut forever, just accept her as a righteous daughter.Ordinarily, a girl like Baozhu is not qualified. Jia Zhen buried Ruizhu as a granddaughter, and ordered the servants in the mansion to call Baozhu Miss. It is very funny. Why did he do this?In fact, I secretly thanked them for not revealing political secrets.It can be seen that the words "Four and Five" deleted by Cao Xueqin will contain leaks about Qin Keqing's real background and some descriptions about how difficult Qin Keqing's family is in.

The general motive of Cao Xueqin's writing was that he really didn't want to write a political novel. In addition, the literary prison was so harsh at that time, so Zhi Yanzhai told him, just delete it, and don't have these contents.The relevant comments of Zhiyanzhai are written like this: "Qin Keqing mourned in Tianxianglou, and the author used a historical pen. Because the old man has two funerals in Fengjie Jia's family, he is rich and honorable. Although the matter is not leaked, its words and meaning are pathetic and convincing, please forgive me, and order Qinxi to delete it.” After so many analyzes in front of me, this comment, which originally made us feel ambiguous and difficult to understand, is more difficult. It's easy to understand.Zhi Yanzhai said that Cao Xueqin used "historical pen" to write about Qin Keqing, that is, to write truthfully regardless of feelings.The tone of this comment is completely talking about Qin Keqing's life prototype. What Zhi Yanzhai means is that there is nothing wrong with you writing the book truthfully. Although this person failed to complete the original mission, she still contributed to her life before she died. She came up with a very good idea, which is beyond the imagination of those who only know how to enjoy happiness. You have not missed this good performance of hers, and you wrote it to her. Her words and heart alone make people If you are moved and admired, then let's pardon her for being "good at style and beautiful", so I ask you to delete these words about her promiscuity in Tianxiang Tower.Cao Xueqin listened to Zhi Yanzhai's advice, and he may later feel that although he has a real life basis, it is too cruel to write it like that. The prototype of this character is so pitiful, so let her hide these things. So I started to delete the relevant plot.Of course, whether it is Zhiyanzhai or Cao Xueqin, the important motive for deleting the thirteenth chapter should be to avoid literary inquisition.This is not like "Fanjun Yuzhen" or "Smelly Man", just a few words, this is a large plot, it is better to delete it, but they can't leave traces of this fundamental motive.

In my introduction to Hongxue at the beginning, I mentioned a branch of Hongxue, versionology, that is to say, it is a work with many versions left in the world. Most of the early manuscripts are called "Hongxue". Differences, studying these differences, can find out the original meaning of Cao Xueqin's writing.The variant texts in some editions may be due to the copyist's manual error, some are human misinterpretations, and some are the original intention of Cao Xueqin's original writing.Carefully studying the different texts in different editions is an important method for us to more accurately grasp Cao Xueqin's creative intentions.So, in the various editions of the Chinese version, are there any particularly noteworthy variations on Qin Keqing's writing?In the preface written by Qi Liaosheng, I found a text that was deleted in other editions—returning to the former poem.This Huiqian poem reflects Cao Xueqin's true writing intention. The author's true identity of Qin Keqing is revealed in this Huiqian poem.In front of the thirteenth chapter of the Mongolian Wangfu version, such a poem can also be found, only a few characters are different from the Qi preface version.

The four-line poem back to the front of the thirteenth chapter of the ancient version written by Qi Liaosheng is written like this: "Where is the truth of life and death? Wisdom is hard to restrain. It is the spirit. The secret is hidden for a long time but reveals itself, and the words in the dream Amazing." What do these four sentences mean? "Life and death are poor and clear", life and death do not need to be explained. Poor and clear are also two concepts, which go hand in hand with life and death. Being poor means that you are finished, and when you reach the end, clear means that you have mastered and passed through.So what is written in the novel, especially the life and death of Qin Keqing and related characters, poor and poor, which ones are true?Go back to the previous poem and ask yourself first. "Wisdom is unstoppable is spirit", this writing is very wise, he can't write it all, but there is a kind of spirit, the author has a spiritual tendency, he can't restrain it; or Qin Keqing has her wiseness, Even when she was about to die, she still had a spirit, which she couldn't contain. She wanted to vent it, but in the end she was "very secret for a long time but revealing herself". "Wei Mi has been hidden for a long time but reveals herself", these seven words are too important and too explicit, telling us that Qin Keqing's true identity has been kept secret for a long time, but she has to be exposed this time. It shows that Qin Keqing entrusted Wang Xifeng with a dream, "the language in the dream is amazing".She is obviously a person with a broad political vision higher than the Jia family. In the dream, she pointed out to the Jia family what you should do in the future. After I die, your family will not suffer disaster immediately. Instead, there will be a happy event, and there will be a good event of "fire cooking oil, flowers blooming brocade", but it is also a short-lived prosperity. What followed after that was "After the three springs go, all the fragrances will be exhausted, and each of them must find his own door."So this person is very powerful, "the language in the dream is amazing".The prototype of Qin Keqing's life has already been revealed in this poem.

Regarding Qin Keqing, there is another detail in the seventh chapter. You must not forget that after Xiangling was bought by Xue Jiaqiang, she was brought to the capital and lived in Jia's house.At that time, Zhou Rui's family saw Xiangling, who did Zhou Rui's family say she looked like?Zhou Rui's family said to Jin Chuan, "It looks pretty good, and it looks a bit like the character of Grandma Rong in our East Mansion." Jin Chuan immediately said that she felt the same way.Did Cao Xueqin write this indiscriminately?Just write it down?He's all about meaning.Who is Xiangling?Do you remember the first time?Zhen Shiyin was playing with Xiangling in his arms, when a monk came along, what did the two of them say at that time?They said, "Almsgiver, what are you doing with this fateful thing that affects your parents?" Qin Keqing is a life that is destined to affect your parents.She knew very well that she was born at a time when she shouldn't have been born, which caused a lot of trouble to her parents.Later, although she was secretly fostered in the Ningguo Mansion, her parents cared about her, but her being hidden may cause troubles to her parents at any time; and her life and death depend entirely on whether her family can survive in the struggle for political power win.Although she was a life, she couldn't decide her own destiny, so she became extremely anxious and suffered from depression.She herself said that it doesn't matter whether she is a god or not, she can't be cured if she is cured, and the degree of misery of her fate is even more tragic than that of Xiangling.

In the fifth chapter "You Fanjing Refers to the Miserable Twelve Beauties Drinking Immortal Mash and Playing a Dream of Red Mansions", Cao Xueqin wrote many album-page poems in succession. These poems are the verdicts of the Jinling Twelve Beauties; Every song in the poem hints at the later fate of the characters in the book.Although it is an incomplete work, through the hints in these lyrics, readers can understand the fate and final outcome of these characters, as well as the author's attitude and evaluation of these characters.In the verdict on the last page of the "Jinling Twelve Hairpins" and in the song "Good Things End" about Qin Keqing, Cao Xueqin summarized Qin Keqing's fate and commented on it.

On the last page of the Jinling Twelve Beauties, there is a picture of a high-rise building, which should be the Tianxiang Building. In the picture, a beautiful woman hanged herself from the beam in the high-rise building.This picture clearly tells you that Qin Keqing didn't die of illness in bed, she hanged herself.There are four sentences in the judgment accompanying this picture: "Love the sky, love the sea, and imagine the body", which means that Qin Keqing's family background is the sky and the sea. "If love meets, it will lead to adultery." This of course means that when Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen meet, both of them have lust, and if you love me and I love you, adultery will inevitably happen.Cao Xueqin uses "Qin" to harmonize "feeling". In Wuyin, qin and qing are indistinguishable. , but in fact it happened—"Qin Keqing" and "Qin Keqing"—something that was too much emotional.I thought that Cao Xueqin’s homonym does not have a single meaning. He is not only talking about the relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing, but also the relationship between Jia’s family and the "Yi" school, and the "moon" in "Shuanghanging Sun and Moon". "The feelings are too deep, and in the end they did something to hide Qin Keqing; it is not advisable to value the feelings of political alliances so much. "Love can be light but not overwhelming", this is realized after the fact, and it is very painful. lesson.The next two sentences are "All unscrupulous words are glorious, and the beginning of the quarrel is really peaceful", which talks about the causal relationship between Qin Keqing and the fall of Jia's house.If Qin Keqing's problem is nothing more than an improper relationship with Jia Zhen, and nothing else is involved, then how much does her life and death have to do with the prosperity and decline of the Rong and Ning mansions?These two sentences actually make it clear to us, don't think that the Jia family ruined the family business created by their predecessors. The Ningguo Mansion hid Qin Keqing, but not carefully. Jia Zhen had an affair with Qin Keqing again, which made things complicated. Therefore, in the end, the overthrow of Jia's mansion was primarily blamed on Ningguo Mansion.

Twelve songs, in fact, including the introduction and the ending, there are fourteen in total. The twelfth song is called "The End of Good Things", and it is about Qin Keqing. "Drawing the beams in spring and falling the fragrant dust", this is a poetic description of Qin Keqing's suicide by hanging from the beams in Tianxiang Tower. "Being good at style and looking like a moon is the root of a prodigal family." It means that Qin Keqing is restless, and she shouldn't have had an affair with Jia Zhen while hiding.Here I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to the wording of "Bingyue appearance". Of course, moon appearance means beautiful face and moon appearance, which means that Qin Keqing is very beautiful, but I have already told you in the previous lectures. Therefore, I think this wording is also pointing out the kinship relationship between Qin Keqing and the "moon".The following sentence, like the verdict, also talks about the relationship between Qin Keqing and the decline of Jia's family. "Family affairs die and the first crime is better" has the same meaning as "it is better to start a quarrel", which is easy to understand.What is difficult to understand is that "Jiqiu decadence is respectful", "Jiqiu" refers to the serious affairs of the family, and "Jiqiu decadence" means that the family's serious affairs are messed up and upside down because they are not responsible, but How can this be said to be Jia Jing's problem?Some red fans discussed with me, saying what is the relationship between Jia Jing and Qin Keqing, he didn't stay in the Ningguo mansion at all, he went to the Taoist temple outside the capital to mingle with Taoist priests, making alchemy, intending to ascend to heaven and become a god, How could this song about Qin Keqing blame him?It should be said that "everything is degraded and fallen is precious".Jia Zhen blindly enjoyed herself and overturned the Ningguo Mansion, but no one dared to control him; he messed with Qin Keqing again, he was responsible for it!Why don't you talk about him here, but talk about Jia Jing instead? In Cao Xueqin's song about Qin Keqing, he just wanted to reveal such information, to tell us that Jia Jing actually took an evasive attitude towards the Ningguo Mansion's hiding of Qin Keqing, which is related to the fate of the family. Responsible; if he is responsible, he stays in the mansion and restrains Jia Zhen, maybe things will not be so chaotic, and Jiao Da will not scold such scandals; but he evades Now, even if the Jiqiu fell down and ignored him, he would not even return to the mansion to celebrate his birthday. He was responsible for the overthrow of the Ningguo Mansion later.This Jia Jing should also have a life prototype. When he first received the prototype of Qin Keqing, his father, the prototype of Jia Daihua in the book, was still alive. They made a joint decision with the prototypes of Jia Daishan and Jia Mu, and decided that Ningguo Mansion Prototype to hide Qin Keqing's prototype.The fundamental reason for making this decision is that "sincere crimes are always due to love", that is, their relationship with the deposed prince in real life is too strong and emotional, so they don't care whether it will eventually lead to "doing evil" The consequences will ruin the future of a century-old family.Of course, they are also speculating, and this matter is done safely. Once the crown prince is abolished, or Hongxi, who is in front of Prince Li, can turn around and ascend to the throne after the crown prince is abolished, the benefits that their family can get will be greatly reduced. No matter how high it is, it is not too much to estimate.In real life, Jia Jing's prototype, he didn't agree to hide Qin Keqing's prototype at that time, but the elders made the decision, and he couldn't stop it.Later, after the prototypes of Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan died one after another, he publicly put down the pick, and he escaped. He gave up the title to Jia Zhen's prototype, and gave up the patriarch to Jia Zhen's prototype. His attitude That is, from now on, things in the mansion have nothing to do with me.From life prototypes, prototype characters, prototype spaces, and prototype events, to characters, mansions, and stories in novels, there should be such a corresponding relationship. About Qin Keqing's song, the title of the song is "Good Things End", and now the meaning is very clear: it was a good thing to hide Qin Keqing in the first place - for Qin Keqing herself, she does not have to live with her parents and other family members. life, and once her family wins the power struggle, she can show her true princess status; and the Jia family who hides her, if her background family is the moon, "only one round in the sky will be held out, and the world will be ten thousand" Look up at the surname, and if it is finally done, then it is equivalent to making a great contribution, and the prosperity and wealth will definitely be upgraded, which is of course a great good thing.But in the end it was the failure of the "Moon" faction, and before the final failure, Qin Keqing had to be sacrificed first. In Gao E's continuation book, he also kept the verdict on Qin Keqing and the song "A Good Thing Ends" in the front, where it clearly says "the first crime is better than peace". It seems to be relatively large.According to his writing, the emperor's rectification of Ningguo Mansion was relatively thorough. The Jia family Yan Shize only forgave Rongguo Mansion, but what crimes did Gao E finally conclude for Ningguo Mansion?If you look at it now, it's very funny. Generally speaking, one of them is forced to marry a woman from a good family, that is, the matter of Second Sister You.But who is this Second Sister You who married her?Is it Jia Zhen?Even if Jia Zhen played a bad role in it, Jia Lian should be charged first.Jia Lian disregarded his national and family funerals, violated the feudal etiquette and married the second sister You, and also caused the separation of the second sister You from her original engaged husband, which caused some other consequences.This is a matter of the Rongguo Mansion, but Gao E listed such a crime in order to write the Ningguo Mansion as a heinous crime.There is another one that is even more ridiculous, about Third Sister You.Gao E's words roughly said that after this person died, the Ningguo Mansion did not report to the officials, and buried him privately.But this is a big crime, and it is not a serious crime in a feudal society.Then he wrote that Jia Zhen was treated terribly in the end.He couldn't think of another way, because what?Maybe he didn't understand what was going on with the previous description of Qin Keqing?In fact, maybe he is too clear, he wants to avoid, he wants to cover up, so he writes like this.In fact, after the eighty chapters, according to Cao Xueqin's own conception, the demise of Jia's mansion, "the beginning of the quarrel is really peaceful", and "the first crime of family affairs perishes is the first crime", it should be mainly the Ningguo mansion that caused the catastrophe, so the "provoking quarrel" , What is the first crime"?It should be that "now" brought up the fact that the Ningguo Mansion actually adopted the daughter of a criminal royal family.Originally, this matter had been settled decently by Qin Keqing's suicide, but "after the three springs", "now" changed his attitude, and the new and old accounts were settled together, so hiding Qin Keqing is of course a heinous crime, and the Jia family did not Live.At this time, not only the Ningguo Mansion was unforgivably guilty, but also the Rongguo Mansion could not be freed from its responsibilities, so it was like a building collapsed, dizzy and miserable, and the dead of the family scattered. So when I say this, I will make a conclusion first, and then I will give some answers to the questions that may be asked of me.My conclusion is: the character Qin Keqing written by Cao Xueqin has a life prototype.The life prototype of this character is a daughter born to the prince of the Kangxi Dynasty who was both independent and abolished.This daughter should have been born at the critical moment when he was deposed for the second time, so at that time, in order to prevent this daughter from being imprisoned together with him, she was smuggled out of the palace and entrusted to Cao's family to take care of her.In real life, the Cao family took in this daughter at that time, hid her, and raised her until she could be said to be a daughter-in-law of the family.When Cao Xueqin was writing, this life archetype made him unable to avoid it, and he felt that he should write it down, so he created an image of Qin Keqing.In a nutshell, Qin Keqing's prototype is the daughter of the deposed prince Yinreng and the younger sister of the deposed prince's eldest son Hongxi.If the abolished prince can get rid of the bad luck and become the emperor, she will be a princess; if Hongxi ascends the throne, Hongxi will respect the late father as the former emperor. In that way, Qin Keqing's original identity can still be said to be a princess. Princess. The princess-level status of Qin Keqing's prototype is something that many readers did not expect.After I come to this conclusion, some people will definitely ask questions. The first question is, during the Kangxi period, Prince Yinfeng was strictly guarded after he was abolished and banned. Under such circumstances, is it possible to smuggle a baby out of the palace? is it possible?Has there ever been a similar fact in history? Some people were not clear about the situation in the Qing Dynasty, and thought that the crown prince was deposed and imprisoned, but he was taken to a place and locked up alone. That’s not the case;When he was the prince, he lived in Yuqing Palace. After he was deposed and imprisoned, there was a process of moving the palace. He was moved to Xian'an Palace in a corner of the Forbidden City, and he was not the only one who was transferred.In addition to his main wife, he also had many concubines, a group of children, large and small, and a large number of male and female servants who served him and his wives, concubines and children. Therefore, the transfer was a huge systematic project.Even if Kangxi got angry and issued a very strict order requiring no omissions during the transfer process, there would inevitably be some confusion and some loopholes.What's more, after the prince was abolished, it didn't take long for Kangxi to regret it, and the prince was restored again. Then those who treated the prince badly during the first abolishment will definitely be retaliated against after the prince is restored. Therefore, when the decree of the second abolition came down, Among the staff who moved the palace, there must be some people who think that they should not be too blunt. Who knows if Kangxi will calm down again after a while, and then let the prince return?In that process, it is possible for some things to escape and the guards to enforce the law laxly.What's more, people who are greedy for money, get bribes, and control your law or not, such people, such things, have existed since ancient times.The dark side of human nature, coupled with the sympathy, compassion, and intolerance that may still exist in human nature, in that complicated world, it is not difficult for someone to do deviant things with a complicated mentality thing. Even if the deposed prince's family has been transferred, the prince's family has been placed under house arrest in Xian'an Palace, and the guard system has been perfected, it is still difficult to guarantee that there will be no loopholes to exploit.Because Kangxi has instructed that for the deposed prince and his big family, the living conditions should be maintained at the original level, which is called "enriching his food and clothing", so daily necessities should be sent in, and waste and garbage should be transported out every day. state.In the historical records of the Qing Dynasty, there is also a record of transporting ice cubes to the Xian'an Palace in summer to cool off the prince and the others.The abandoned prince and his family have just moved to the Xian'an Palace, and their arrogance will not be too high, but it is inevitable that they will habitually boss around and have some lingering prestige; point.Because at that time, no one could tell what would happen in the future. Since Kangxi regretted it soon after the first abolition, how could he know whether there would be three establishments after the second abolition?The situation at that time can be said to be very weird and delicate. According to historical data, after the prince was abolished, he never gave up.He once took advantage of the chance that the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital went to see his Fujin—that is, the eldest wife—and bribed the imperial physician to bring out a secret letter.The secret letter was written with alum water. On the surface, it was a piece of white paper, but when it was baked on the fire, the words appeared.The imperial physician handed the secret letter to the person appointed by the deposed prince, and that person did not refuse to accept it.The content of this secret letter is that Prince Fei instructed the high official who received the secret letter to try to speak well for Emperor Kangxi when he met him.At that time, there was a tribal rebellion in the northwest, and the abolished prince asked the person who spoke for him to recommend him to Kangxi as the general who conquered the west.Unexpectedly, the fact that Fanshui wrote the secret letter and delivered it privately to Xian'an Palace was soon reported. Kangxi dealt with the relevant people severely, and he didn't do anything to the deposed prince, but just ignored him.This example also fully demonstrates that he is not reconciled to abolishing the prince, but he still has some prestige. Some people help him pass the secret letter, and some people help him speak. Based on the historical materials I found, I formed a train of thought.Under the circumstances at that time, if a woman next to the abolished prince gave birth to a baby at the critical moment when he was abolished by the Second Abolishment, they would not want this poor child to be imprisoned as soon as he was born , So taking advantage of the chaos, he bribed the guards, smuggled him out of the palace, and sent him to Cao's house for hiding.This kind of thing is possible. But abstract inferences are not convincing.Then I will not make abstract inferences with you. I want to tell you that from the files left by the Qing Dynasty, we can find evidence to prove that someone escaped under such circumstances.These materials were not deleted even when they repeatedly cleaned up the leftover files during the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.For example, according to the records in the 268th volume of "Records of the Holy Master of the Qing Dynasty", before and after the prince was abolished for the second time, a person escaped from the Xian'an Palace where the prince was imprisoned, but it was not a child. , is an adult.This person has a name and a surname, of course he is a Manchu, and his name is Delin.He didn't expect that his master would be abolished again, and he would be moved from Yuqing Palace to Xian'an Palace, and after moving to Xian'an Palace, he would be imprisoned together with his master. One day he could be free, so he decided to run away.What method did he adopt?Fake death.He pretended to be dead, trying to find a way to inform the guards outside that he was dead and the dead body was going to be transported, so he was carried out as a dead body.This is not a hypothesis, not a reasoning, this is something that has really existed in life.After Delin feigned death and escaped, there were still people who took him in.Don't you always ask, escaping the confinement ordered by the emperor is already a death penalty, would anyone dare to take him in?Isn't that also a capital offense?In my opinion, in any era and under any circumstances, there will always be people who risk their lives to do something illegal.The person who took in Delin was a bachelor named Song Zhu, so he took in Delin.Later, Kangxi personally handled the case, Delin was executed, and Song Zhu was punished; Kangxi pointed out that although the prince was deposed, people like Song Zhu still had to do things to please the abolished prince, because they were always afraid of abolishing the prince. Become a prince again, and finally ascend the throne to become emperor.Although we haven't found any historical materials about the crown prince's daughter being smuggled out and hidden by the Cao family, we don't have to ask: Is that possible?Because of its possibility, it should be greater than Delin's escape and being taken into hiding.Delin is an adult, and after feigning death, he pretends to be a dead body, which is too big to be smuggled out, not to mention a newborn baby.De Lin is just a servant of the abolished prince, and there is a scholar named Song Zhu who thinks that "exotic goods can be lived in" and can be used as the capital to claim credit for the "upright" Yin in the future, and is willing to take her into hiding. , for the Cao family, isn't it a political investment that can obtain greater benefits?What's more, "everything is always because of love", they not only have common political interests, but also have feelings after dating for a long time. Speaking of this, some people may say that I am still a little unconvinced. I know that there was a clan mansion in the Qing Dynasty.What is the clan mansion?It means that every member of the royal family, every child of the royal blood, will be registered from the baby.The Clan Mansion is in charge of this, and these must be strictly registered. It cannot be said that you will be adopted after you give birth to a child. If you hide it, it will be a capital offense if it is found out.But still the above sentence, in any era, there will be some people who risk their lives to do some prohibited things.Let me give you an example now. During the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi himself handled a related case.It is Jueluo Tada, the former internal minister of the clan, because there are too many children, and his concubine gave birth to another child, so he doesn't want it anymore.Although the clan's government has strict regulations, he just doesn't report, and if he doesn't report the child, he can't kill him, what should we do?There was Baoyi Zuoling—this person still had a name, and Kangxi even named him, and his name was Zheng Te. He took the child that Jueluo Tada didn't want, and brought him to his home to raise him.The Cao family in real life is the coat of the Manchu, a member of a slave team of the ruling group, and the identity of this Zheng Te is the same.As a coat, Zheng Te actually dared to adopt the descendants of the royal family behind his back. This is not a plot in a novel, it is a true event in history, so you should stop asking: the royal family has rules Well, children of royal blood must register with the clan mansion as soon as they are born. Would anyone dare not to register?It is illegal to privately adopt a child of royal blood, especially a slave who is not allowed to take up a descendant of the royal family privately. Could it be that there will be a coat to privately hug a child of the royal family who has not registered with the clan mansion? Do you want to raise it?is it possible?There is no question of possibility or impossibility. Kangxi has personally dealt with such a matter, and there are historical materials to check; and when Kangxi dealt with it, he also raised such a point, saying that the blood of this family will not be clear because of this, so in the future when drafting girls, the family Girls who are not allowed to be included in the list of draft girls.Kangxi gave strict instructions that similar situations should be strictly investigated.Although the emperor is very strict, do you see examples?Some people escaped from the confined palace; A child of royal blood is raised in his own home? ?The identity of Baoyi Zheng Te is similar to that of the Cao family.Cao's family is a family of Baoyi, and it is said that it is not allowed to take the blood of the royal family to raise in your own home, let alone being abolished, it will cause trouble.但是康熙朝就发生过类似事件。因此,我们所面对的就不是一个可能不可能的问题,依我说,这是完全可能的,只是我们现在还没有找到胤礽的一个女儿被曹家藏匿的一手档案而已。 那么在这一讲的最后,我重申我研究得出的结论,就是里面所写的秦可卿是有生活原型的,这个原型人物就是现实生活当中废太子家的一个小女儿,她应该是在废太子第二次被废掉的关键时刻被偷偷地送到曹家养起来的。曹雪芹在写作一部带有自叙性的作品的时候,就把这个生活原型化为了小说当中的秦可卿。 但是关于秦可卿的故事并没有结束,因为秦可卿在临死前给凤姐托梦的时候她有明确暗示,就是她的死亡和另外一个人的升腾是互为表里的,她是被人出卖的,她是被人告密的。那么在现实生活当中和在小说当中,向皇帝告密造成秦可卿死亡的那个人是谁呢?我将在下面几讲里,逐步地揭示这个人的真面目。
