In the TV series Zhen Huan's biography, there is a scene at the beginning, a show girl named Xia Dongchun is a little proud and complacent because of her high birth. First of all, he deliberately embarrassed An Lingrong during the draft, and then targeted her everywhere after entering the palace, in fact, this is nothing. The important thing is that she thinks that if she is like the queen, she will be appreciated by the queen, thinking that she has found a big mountain. But what she did not expect was that the rights of Concubine Hua in the palace at this time were still relatively large, and she was not as good as Concubine Hua in terms of family lineage, but she wanted to challenge her to death.
Once, when I asked the empress for peace, I wanted to slap An Lingrong. Just happened to be seen by Concubine Hua, he rewarded her with a red hand. What is this red? Why did it make the harem concubines panic? In fact, this is a kind of punishment in the palace, often used to punish concubines who make mistakes. Generally speaking, in the palace, the emperor, the empress, or the concubines and princesses above the zhengerpin could use the criminal law, and the concubine at that time happened to be the zhengerpin, so she had the right to use it.
Of course, it is also because the identity of summer, winter and spring is only a constant, relatively low. It was used by taking a two-inch-thick five-foot-long board to beat the prisoner below the buttocks, regardless of the number, until her bones and bones were broken and her flesh and blood blurred. From a distance, it looks bright red, like autumn maple leaves, so it is named Ichijo Red. It is worth noting that Ichijo Hong only appears in the novel, and has not appeared in history.
However, there is a kind of punishment in the DPRK, called the court staff, which is very similar to this. The difference is that the staff is made of chestnut wood, and the side that hits the person is cut into a mallet shape, and it is wrapped in iron, and there are inverted hooks on the iron. Fighting down and then pulling it up can hook a large piece of skin and flesh of people, and many officials in history have died under the court staff, which shows its horror. Even if you don't die, you will most likely be crippled. Generally speaking, the maximum number of court staffs is one hundred, but in fact, the maximum number that a person can bear is seventy or eighty, and this stage is basically dead.
It is said that this criminal law was initiated by Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally abolished it, but Ming Yingzong restored it. Emperor Yingzong was really not a good emperor, and he abolished a martyrdom in his lifetime, but added a court staff. This kind of criminal law rarely appeared on the body of concubines in history, mainly because they needed to be tortured in public, and the faces of the emperor and concubines were lost. In the entire history of the Qing Dynasty, only one concubine had undergone this criminal law, and that was Zhenfei. The difference is that this was rewarded by Empress Dowager Cixi, and Princess Zhen suffered a lifelong infertility as a result.
In the court of the Qing Dynasty, concubines were not subject to criminal law like TV dramas, and they made mistakes, and often punished them like grounding and demotion. The punishment of kneeling and clapping is relatively serious, and when Zhen Huan fell out of favor, she suffered two kinds at the same time. Penalty kneeling refers to kneeling in a designated place for a long time, which can be long or short, and short is also a handful of hours. If it is long, it must be accompanied by fasting. There was only one person in the entire Qing Palace who had experienced the criminal law of palming his mouth, and this person was still a concubine.
Princess Zhenfei was also really pitiful, and when she met such an empress, she could not have children for most of her life and was subjected to various insults. The harem was terrible, and it would be even more terrifying if she met an empress dowager like Cixi, after all, it was useless to meet her to be favored. The Cold Palace is indeed a more serious kind of harem, and the category of death is even rarer, after all, the concubines are all the emperor's women. Enjoying honor, how they are all related to the face of the emperor, and only Cixi will repeatedly violate the ancestral system.
