There is a scene at the beginning of the TV series Zhen Huan's biography. A show girl named Xia Dongchun is a little proud and complacent because of her higher background. First, he deliberately embarrassed 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 she can be appreciated by the queen just like the queen, and thinks she has found a big mountain. But what she didn't expect was that Concubine Hua's power in the palace at this time was still relatively large, and she was no better than Concubine Hua in terms of family background, but she had to challenge her deadly.
Sometimes, I would like to ask the queen to calm down. When Concubine Hua happened to see her, she rewarded her. What is this fame? Why does the harem concubine panic? In fact, this is a kind of punishment in the palace, which is often used to punish concubines who make mistakes. Generally speaking, in the palace, only the emperor, empress dowager, queen, or concubines and princes of the second rank and above can use the criminal law. At that time, the Hua concubine happened to be the second rank, so she had the right to use it.
Of course, it is also because the identity of Xia Dongchun is only constant and relatively low. Its method of use is to take a board two inches thick and five feet long to beat the prisoner below the buttocks, regardless of the number, until her muscles and bones are broken and her flesh and blood are blurred. It looks bright red from a distance, like a maple leaf in autumn, so it is named Yizhanghong. It is worth noting that Yizhanghong only appears in novels, and has not appeared in history.
However, there is a penalty in Korea, called the Tingzhang, which is very similar to this one. The difference is that the palace staff is made of chestnut wood, and the side that hits the people is cut into a hammer shape, and it is covered with iron skin, and there are barbs on the iron skin. If you fight it down and then pull it up again, you can get a big piece of flesh and blood. Many officials have died under the staff in history, which shows the horror. Even if he doesn't die, he will be disabled in all likelihood. Generally speaking, the maximum number of court rods is one hundred, but in fact, the maximum that a person can bear is seventy or eighty strokes. At this stage, they are basically dead.
It is said that this criminal law was created by Zhu Yuanzhang. Originally, Zhu Di cancelled it, but Ming Yingzong restored it. Yingzong was really not a good emperor, so he abolished a burial for the rest of his life, but added a court rod. This kind of criminal law rarely appeared on concubines in history, mainly because they needed to be tortured in a large court, and the emperor and concubines were lost. Throughout the history of the Qing Dynasty, there was only one concubine who had received this criminal law, and that was the concubine Zhen. The difference is that it was rewarded by Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Empress, Zhenfei miscarried and became infertile for life.
In the court of the Qing Dynasty, concubines and concubines were not subject to the criminal law like a TV series. They made mistakes and often punished them like foot restraint and demotion. Kneeling and the palm of the mouth are more serious. When Zhen Huan fell out of favor, she suffered both at the same time. Kneeling refers to kneeling in a designated place, but it can be long or short, and it can be a short time. In the long term, it must be accompanied by fasting. There is only one person in the entire Qing Palace who has received the criminal law of palm mouth, and this person is still Zhenfei.
Zhenfei is also really pitiful. Meeting such a queen mother has prevented her from having children for most of her life and she will be subjected to various insults. The harem is terrible, and it is even more terrifying if you encounter a queen mother like Cixi, after all, it is useless to meet her and be favored. Lenggong is indeed the more serious type of concubines, and the category like gifting death is even rarer. After all, the concubines are the emperor's women. Enjoying honor, they are all about the emperor's face, and only the Cixi Society has repeatedly violated the ancestral system.
