A Legal Case Study Involving A Royal Member: An Analysis of the Influence of A Royal Clan Member Hong-Zheng's Involvement in A Legal Case of the Jing-hai County Land Embezzlements During the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty

本文乃討論清代乾隆時期宗室弘晸所涉旗人「冒認地畝」、「欲佔公（民）地」的法律個案，主要運用清高宗實錄、軍機處檔案、清史稿之傳稿（傳包）等原始史料來呈現、還原案情，從中可看出乾隆皇帝對宗室犯案、旗人侵占官（民）田產等罪十分重視，從關注進而介入此案的判決，然在度刑量罰時，皇帝又會依個案情況，考量手足宗室之情予以開恩，稍予宥過，體現出天子人性親情的一面。

This is a case study of the legal history of the Qing Dynasty, a brief description of Hong-Zheng who was a member of the royal family involved in land infringements and subsequent legal disputes. The ruling Qianlong Emperor was very concerned about this legal case and, therefore, personally intervened in the trial, even affected the final verdicts. This article resurrects the case by analyzing the original data as recorded in the Qing Dynasty official files. In addition to discussing the lingering and/or unanswered questions, the article also demonstrates that the emperor did take the royal family relationship into consideration in this legal case, reduce the final penalties, and show the sibling loving side of the human nature.
