Cao Xueqin was able to write A Dream of Red Mansions, in fact, thanks to his hapless sovereign cousin.

If you ask Cao Xueqin why he can write A Dream of Red Mansions, besides his own talent, his miserable life is also one of the reasons. If Cao Xueqin lived a rich life, could he still write such a masterpiece? But you have to ask who made Cao Xueqin have such a situation, and his cousin Fu Peng, the king of Pingjun County, is also involved. This prince also has a prototype in A Dream of Red Mansions, that is, King Bei Jing. In A Dream of Red Mansions, there is also a prototype figure, that is, Cao Xueqin's cousin, Fu Peng, the king of Pingjun County. Pingjun is one of the "iron hat kings" in Qing Dynasty, also known as "hereditary replacement". The person who inherits the title may not attack the title because of various situations, but the title itself has always existed. Yuetuo, the first generation king of Pingjun County, is the grandson of Taizu Nurhachi and the son of Taizu's second son Daishan. Daishan branch made great contributions when the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, so a branch has two "iron hat kings". Daishan himself was named Prince Li, and his eldest son was named King Qin, later changed to King Ping. Pingjun is a real aristocrat in heaven. Because Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin is Kangxi's "nursing brother" and "hairy child"-Cao Yin's mother Sun Shi is Kangxi's nanny. Therefore, the relationship between Cao Yin and Kangxi is equivalent to the relationship between Jia Lian and his wet nurse Zhao DOG's two sons in A Dream of Red Mansions, and Cao Yin is also Bandu whom young Kangxi especially trusts. Therefore, Cao Jiacai married Pingjun as a "coating"-Kangxi refers to marriage, and his eldest daughter Cao Jiashi married Nie Ruru, the official to Fujin. Fu Peng is the eldest son of Nie Gannu and Cao Jiashi. What's more, in the fourth year of Yongzheng, Naersu was removed from the position of Pingjun, and the title was inherited by Fu Peng, who was less than twenty years old! Fu Peng attacked the champion at such a young age, first of all, because Yong Zhengdi hated his father Nelson. According to historical records, Nairsu was "king" because of corruption. But some people speculated that it was because he didn't want to report the Fourteenth Prince. As we all know, the 14th Prince Yin Zhen is the default heir of Kangxi, who was in Qinghai when Kangxi died. Nie Gannu went west with Yin Zhen. Although there were some minor contradictions between them, Nie Luda refused to report Yin Zhen's "misconduct" according to Yongzheng's wishes. Yongzheng was unhappy, of course, so he took his title. As for Fu Peng's inheritance, it's because Kangxi and yongzheng emperor had a good impression on Fu Peng. I don't know if it is because he is the "grandson" of Cao Yin, but the clever Fu Peng has been concerned by Emperor Kangxi since childhood and was raised in the palace. In the palace, Fu Peng met a particularly important "little brother"-Li Hong, the fourth son of Prince Yong, who was later named Qianlong. Li Hong is also Kangxi's favorite "grandson". It was a privilege to be kept in the palace, but some data show that he didn't live well in the palace. Why? Gong Cang and Li Hong are similar in age. They have several cousins and uncles, and their children are very powerful. Li Hong's biological mother, as I said before, is probably a lowly * * *. Therefore, Li Hong will inevitably be looked down upon and angry. Fu Peng, who is three years older than Li Hong, has similarities with Li Hong in identity. Although he is the son of the prince, his biological mother is also a woman of the coating family. Therefore, when others bully Li Hong, Fu Peng often acts as a "little brother" umbrella. In this way, Fu Peng left a good impression on Prince Yong and later Yong Zhengdi. So, when Nairsu refused to "cooperate", Yongzheng changed his title and directly let Fu Peng, who was 18 years old, take over. Soon, Fu Peng was ordered to study in the upper study with Li Hong and Hong Zhou (May 5), which was obviously a "key training". In A Dream of Red Mansions, Li Wan once said that we already have a princess in our family. The "princess" in this sentence is very similar to Cao Yin's marrying Pingjun's eldest daughter and Cao Xueqin's aunt. The title of King Jing in Beijing is actually the title of County King, and the title of Peace County King is the same. When King Jing of Beijing appeared, the novel introduced him as a young man and got a string of fragrant rosary (meaning "brotherly love"), which was very good for Baoyu. If understood from the front, this is basically a portrayal of Fu Peng, the king of Pingjun County. But apart from these elements, Fu Peng's other experiences are not very similar to those of the King of Beijing, especially when there are so many domestic scholars hidden in the palace, which is more like a flood who intends to seize the position. In fact, it was Fu Peng who helped to solve the "Hong inverse case". Fu Peng has been reused by Yongzheng since he was in his twenties. In just a few years, he became the youngest military minister and general in Dingbian, and went out to direct the war against Junggar. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Fu Peng was immediately recalled to co-chair the Prime Minister's Office. Fu Peng's "great use" is undoubtedly the gospel of his uncle Cao Jia. In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Jiangning weaving Cao family was copied. In fact, "property" is divided into several grades. For example, the relatives of the Cao family in Suzhou not only defaulted on public funds, but also had friendship with the May family, so they not only "lost everything"-sold their property to make up for the deficit, but I was found guilty and sent to worship Ula. Cao's family inherited the weaving department, young and timid, and had no problems. At first, Yongzheng took good care of him and handed him over to the Prince of Iraq. Prince Yong, or "Chivalrous King" and "Thirteen Masters" as we often say, is the only person Yongzheng trusts among his brothers of the same age. At that time, there was a saying in the DPRK that people who were "looked after" by Prince Iraq were relatively safe. However, Cao Fu's talent was originally mediocre. In the fifth year of Yongzheng, he was "cangue" to Beijing for harassing the post office, and then his property was confiscated in Cao Fu, Jiangning, to compensate for the deficit. The Cao family's "returning to the flag" means returning to Beijing. The day when Cao Cao returned to Beijing was of course difficult at first. Fortunately, Yongzheng returned a house near their front door, leaving three servants, who also had some savings left by their ancestors, and finally survived. Cao Xueqin's cousins Fu Peng and Tai Fujin menstruation will certainly take care of them. After Chiganlong succeeded to the throne, Fu Peng was initially reused, and Cao Jia certainly followed suit. Cao Fu's flail and other punishments were also cancelled. Since then, Cao Fu has disappeared from the historical records. Taiwan Province novelist Levin's "Three Spring Wars Early Spring Scenery" and "Wild Dragon Snake" fictionalized the Cao Shi family story in this period. Not only did Cao Fu recover, but Cao Fu's nephew Cao Zhen (equivalent to the role of Jia Lian in A Dream of Red Mansions) also got an official position, and both of them were in the Ministry of Industry (doing construction projects). Because Pingjun gained power, his uncle also got a high-paying job for many years, which was a period of "revival" of the Cao family. As for Cao Xueqin, he lives a comfortable life because of the private money left by his grandmother and the gifts from his uncle and cousin. He reads the books he wants to read, and he is full of miscellaneous studies, but he doesn't want to be an official and test stereotyped writing. Later, after four years of Qianlong, Hong Yong's rebellion occurred. Fu Peng, king of Pingjun County, presided over the arrest, trial and conviction of Hong and his party. Although the case was not widely spread, Gan Long resented Fu Peng's failure to find the signs in advance, which made the matter go away. Plus before, Gan Long has decided not to allow relatives to enter the army. Since then, Fu Peng can no longer be reused. Fu Peng had a successful career as a teenager, but later he was unable to display his talents and was frustrated. Finally, I worked in Qianlong for thirteen years and died before I was forty. After Fu Peng's death, posthumous title was sensitive, and Gan Long dropped out of school for two days, which was a commemoration of this "sick child". I wonder if there is introspection at the same time-I don't think so. The title of Pingjun was inherited by Fu Peng's eldest son. A generation later, it's hard for the Cao family to be taken care of. To make matters worse, a fire broke out in a building under Cao Fu's supervision, which destroyed nearby houses and burned people. Although someone begged, the Cao family finally "made up for the loss" and sent him away, and Cao died in the typhoon. The story of the novel is written here. Next, what will happen to Cao Xueqin, who is already a gentleman and has almost no viability? Basically Cao Xueqin, known as "Yan's Elegy". He wrote A Dream of Red Mansions only after experiencing great grief. Write and watch while learning, and return to the historical scene.
