Jia Yuanchun is Fengzao Palace Shangshu conferred the title of Xiande Concubine. Note that this expression means "Fengzao Palace Shangshu" comes first and Xiande Concubine comes after. Because the concubines in the emperor's harem have ranks below the queen. The first-grade lady, the second-grade ninth concubine, the third-grade Jieyu... and so on.
The ladies are divided into four concubines: "noble, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous", and "first-grade" is reflected by positions such as "Shang Shu".
Jia Yuanchun's Fengzao Palace Minister named Xiande Fei, a first-class wife. It proves that she was not a female official in the palace when she first entered the palace to be a "female history", but a low-grade concubine equivalent to a noble person.
The Concubine Xian De is a noble concubine. She is only lower than the queen in the harem, and can be considered as one person below ten thousand people. She is destined to have a huge influence on the Jia family.
However, the result was that the Jia family's property was confiscated, and Yuanchun was sentenced to death by the emperor before the Jia family's property was confiscated. This result was not unrelated to Jia Yuanchun.
Four plays were ordered on the night of Yuanchun's wedding, among which "Begging for Skills" Zhiyanzhai "The Palace of Eternal Life" was about the death of Jia Yuanchun.
"The Palace of Eternal Life" tells the love tragedy of Yang Guifei and Tang Minghuang . Concubine Yang was originally the daughter-in-law of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, but after several changes she became the concubine of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Guifei died in the Maweiyi Incident, and was hanged to death by Tang Minghuang's Gao Lishi, which foreshadowed Jia Yuanchun's ending. She was also hanged to death by the emperor's eunuch Xia Shouzhong in a similar incident to the Maweiyi Incident. .
Yuanchun Judgment also has foreshadowing for this. The pomegranate flower "where the pomegranate blossoms illuminates the palace" refers to Pan Shu, Queen Sun Quan, the goddess of the pomegranate flower in May. Pan Shu was hanged to death by palace officials because of her involvement in the struggle for imperial power. The ending is the same as that of Yang Guifei and Jia Yuanchun.
The relationship between Concubine Yang and Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty should not be ignored. Although Jia Yuanchun was the emperor's virtuous concubine, the Jia family was not loyal to the "son-in-law" emperor, but was more loyal to the emperor. This can be seen from the fact that the Jia family enthusiastically responded to the Emperor's wishes for the concubines to have a wedding ceremony and actively organized the Yuanchun wedding ceremony.
The disloyalty of the Jia family was the direct cause of the house confiscation. Jia Yuanchun cannot absolve himself of the blame for this.
Although Yuanchun does not have a "relationship" with the Supreme Emperor like Concubine Yang, she has absolute influence on the Jia family and can bring order to two things that are crucial to the Jia family.
One, requiring the Jia family to be loyal to the emperor.
2. Stop the Jia family from building Grand View Garden to arrange for relatives.
As the most powerful person in the Jia family, Jia Yuanchun and Jia's mother have different positions.
Jia Mu is the retired head of the household. In a large family where the female protagonist is the outside and the male is the internal protagonist, Jia's mother handed over the housekeeping rights to Mrs. Wang. The head of the household was her son Jia Zheng, so she had no chance to comment on the management of the Jia family.
The "housekeepers" of the Jia family women are different from the modern understanding of housekeepers. The families managed by Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are only responsible for eating, drinking and raising children at home. Specific household affairs are managed and decided by men. Women have no chance to comment.
Even if Jia's mother has a high status, she cannot interfere with the Jia family's affairs. She knew that the Jia family was in serious decline but did not intervene because she had no position and the rules did not allow it.
But Jia Yuanchun is different. She is a noble concubine. She pursues her own affairs in her position. It is her responsibility to guide the Jia family to be loyal to the emperor. With her as a matchmaker, the Jia family will not make mistakes after mistakes.
Jia’s house was confiscated, and Cong Jiao was drunk and scolded "red knives go in and white knives come out", Jia Rong joined Long Quanwei, King Beijing presented Jia Baoyu wagtail incense rosary, Jia Baoyu used a fan to drop a jade pendant In exchange for Wang Qianxiang's Arhat scarf in Beijing, Wang Xifeng told the story of "a deaf man setting off firecrackers", threatening that "we are not afraid of being accused of treason", as well as "the tiger and the tiger meet and return in a dream" and the "bow" in the judgment picture. Judging from these clues, the Jia family It was clear that he had evil intentions and was involved in a conspiracy and rebellion against the emperor to seize power. However, he failed and "broke things" and ransacked his house. Following in the footsteps of Prince Yi Zhong and the Xue family.
Xue Pan (Zi Wenlong, Pan and Long both represent the emperor) encountered robbers in Ping'an Prefecture that day, which is also foreshadowing. There is no doubt that Ping An State is not safe.
Jia Yuanchun grew up beside the emperor, but he did not understand that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The sentence saying that she "has been distinguishing right from wrong for twenty years" is an irony, mocking her for not being sensible even in her twenties.
Yuanchun's death stemmed from a shocking event (Deaf Zi set off firecrackers) launched by the King of Beijing in the future against the emperor through Long Jinwei. The location may be Ping'an Prefecture, and the situation is similar to the Maweiyi Incident.
Jia Yuanchun’s problems are as prominent as those of the Jia family. The citron in her verdict represents "reluctance", which is the dissatisfaction she and the Jia family have with the emperor. Later, she was sentenced to death by the emperor, and the Jia family was ransacked. She was not unjust!
The above opinions are only compiled and inferred based on the clues of the story 80 chapters ago in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
