Chapter 57 The ninth floor and the tenth floor "Red Mansion" Suoyin (3)

Now, we can see how the relationship between King Jing of Beijing and Baoyu is. First of all, the relationship between Beiwang and Jia's mansion should also be clearly understood: it turns out that the two families "were in love with each other when their grandfathers met each other, shared difficulties and shared prosperity, and did not treat each other with different surnames."What is this nonsense?Those who understand the history of the Qing Dynasty will not immediately understand: Does this mean that the Manchu royal family had a life-and-death friendship with the Han surnames? "Different surnames" refers to the difference between Manchu and Han masters and slaves, and is a special term in the Qing Dynasty. ——From this, it is also clear: if the important person between them "broke things", they must be connected in the same case, and they are "in the same trouble" with each other!

The book describes the closeness between the Beiwang family and Jia's family, and there is a special feature, that is, when an old concubine passed away and held a funeral, she lived in the "lower place". take care of.In other words, their fate is always connected by a thread. As for Baoyu, for the young king of Beifu who is "not yet young, but born with a beautiful description and a modest temperament", "I used to hear my father, brother, relatives and friends gossip, praise Shui Rong as a good king; and he was born with talent and appearance." Shuangquan, romantic and unrestrained, never bound by official customs and state system. Every time I think about meeting each other, it's just that my father is strictly restrained, so I can't help but meet..." The Northern King happened to have "heard the sound and fell in love with Baoyu" for a long time—that is to say He is a first-class character, "a person who comes from the two Fus of good and evil".The King of the North personally spoke to Jia Zheng, asking Baoyu to meet often, so naturally he dared not disobey him. Since then, Baoyu has been a guest of the North Mansion, and his life is getting closer and closer-but Xueqin is always in the book. , Dot dyed outline, refused to write it out with a correct pen.

In Xueqin's original book, "a tiger meets a tiger", the contest between the two heroes, the death of the concubine Yuan, and the defeat of Jia's mansion are the result of the great political changes of the "princes". A reader said to me: "Bei Wang writes like a little emperor." Not bad at all.In the history of the Qing Dynasty, during the fourth or fifth year of Qianlong's reign, such a major accident happened. At that time, Hongxi, the son of the deposed prince Yinfeng, had already established political institutions such as the Seventh Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and actually became a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The throne - to sing against Qianlong, and once arranged for an assassination on the occasion of Qianlong's tour.Prince Yi's son Hongjiao (Ning Junwang) and others are also included.Many people were implicated in the case, and it also involved foreign domains.This is exactly the background of "Double Hanging Sun and Moon Illuminating the Universe".

Xueqin is used to writing in a leisurely manner, especially when she is careless.There is another book, that is, the seventy-second chapter of Xu Feng's family affairs and financial difficulties. She said that she was afraid she would not be able to support herself. She said that she had a dream in which another empress sent someone to ask her for brocade horses and forced her to leave. snatch.This is also a hint of "two courts". When he was in Yongzheng, looking back on the past, he said that when the kings acted as "rebels", they recruited all kinds of people, including monks, Taoists, green forests, actresses, foreign vassals, and Westerners... In the case of the fourth or fifth year of Qianlong, it happened that is also like this.With this in mind, let’s take a closer look at Jiang Yuhan (actress), Liu Xianglian (Qiangliang), Feng Ziying, Ni Er, and the horse dealer Wang Duanleg in Xueqin’s pen... They are all connected in a string, and they are all later The character under the banner of the "bad thing" king of the north.Baoyu and Sister Feng were imprisoned, one because of monks, the other because of Taoism, and quite a few people from the lower classes went to visit and rescue them.

"After the three springs go, all fragrances will be exhausted" is the conclusion of this "double hanging sun and moon shining on the universe". Xueqin's original intention was to pass on the relationship between girlfriends, and he did not intend to "intervene in the court"—but when writing about the tragedy of these girlfriends, he could not avoid the court's time, so he declared his confession again and again at the beginning of the book: I The original intention is not here, but since it is faithful to life experience, it is necessary to let readers see the reason without using a vague brush. ——This meaning has always been commented by critics who have not seen the truth.

Because the above-mentioned matters were involved after the eighty chapters, the imperial court (the winner) of course would not allow it.What is the purpose of chopping up Xueqin's real books after eighty chapters and burning them up, and continuing forty chapters of fake books?That's why.Those who are obsessed with pseudo-continuation, singing praises for Cheng and Gao, and hugging "injustice", when commemorating Xueqin's 220th anniversary, may still be rejoicing: thanks to Cheng and Gao, who cared about Xueqin's remnants and finished the volume for them , meritorious deeds, is Xueqin's great benefactor, right?
