Chapter 11 (1) Misfortunes never come singly

Jia Yuanchun's death was due to political changes.She is not a figure manipulating political activities, but she has become a political victim.But for the Rong Mansion, this is tantamount to taking away a backbone.Xueqin repeatedly confessed that his book did not dare to interfere with the political affairs of the court, but the major events in the book are closely related to the political situation; so he had to use extremely vague brushwork to tease out bits and pieces of hidden news, and did not dare to write directly.Even so, there are two factions in the book who are fighting secretly, but it is clear and obvious.

The Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River has an extraordinary faction, they are not only close friends of the Jia family, they have a close relationship, and they have other connections.I don't know what kind of "crime" it was because of, but it was suddenly rumored that Zhen's house was ransacked! Tracing one's home was a common method in the Qing Dynasty, which was both severe and cruel.In an instant, all property, things, and necessities of life do not belong to him, and he becomes a poor and unreported "ghost of the yang world", and no one dares to condolence and rescue him.His situation is dire and cannot be overstated.However, when the crime happened, the Zhen family and the mother-in-law secretly went to Jia's mansion in a panic, as if they had entrusted or even transferred things (when the family-saving villa was built, Jia's mansion withdrew 20,000 silver deposits from the Zhen family. ).

The King of Beijing in central Beijing has an unusual relationship with the Rong Mansion. Although their political identities are very different, because their predecessors were "shared in adversity and shared prosperity", that is, friends in adversity and a friendship of sharing weal and woe, they are not even "national gifts". It is possible to "not talk", so Baoyu, a child, can go to Beifu to play!Prince Zhongshun lost Jiang Yuhan, Xiaodan, and sent officials to Rongfu to find him, saying that Baoyu had seduced him and hid him.However, when Jiang Yuhan met Baoyu for the first time, he took off the sweat scarf as a gift, and the scarf was just given to him by the King of Beijing!Besides, Baoyu knew that Jiang Yuhan had bought real estate in the "Red Sandalwood Castle" twenty miles away from the city, and hid there.Excuse me, this Baoyu told Liu Xianglian that he wanted to build Qin Zhong's tomb, but he had no right or money, and he couldn't go out by himself—then, would he be able to buy real estate for Jiang Yuhan twenty miles away in the suburbs?It turns out that all of this was organized by King Beijing (a peerless little king who is "similar" to Baoyu)!

It can be seen that the relationship between the two houses of King Beijing Jing and King Zhongshun is very tense and they do not communicate with each other.All of this implies that there has been a huge and profound contest and trend brewing in the political situation. The Jia family not only lost Yuan Chun, a nobleman who already had a preliminary status, but was also wrapped up in the vortex of struggle at the prince level, and it was difficult to extricate himself from it. Also, there was a lot of trouble on the Jia Yucun line. It was stated later in the book that Jia Yucun's official career was prosperous, and he had been promoted to the high position of "Da Sima", that is, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the chief of the country's highest military department.Sun Shaozu, the "Zhongshan Wolf" who killed Yingchun, is also "waiting for election" in the Ministry of War. Undoubtedly, he and Yucun will become like-minded parties in the future.

Banner registration in the Qing Dynasty was a special system integrating military, government, and civilians. Children must "wear armor" to serve in the army.Jia Lan in the book likes to ride and shoot since he was a child. He used a small bow and arrow to shoot deer in the garden. When he grew up, he naturally joined the army and was promoted and reused by Jia Yucun.They made meritorious service first, but finally caused trouble. Since the death of Jia's family, since Yuanchun's death, there have been three and five in succession.
