What is the "Zongren House" in Qing Dynasty? Why do concubines prefer to die rather than go when they smell it?

We often hear it in many Qing Dynasty dramas? Zong Renfu? In three words, many brothers' concubines will be sent to Zongrenyuan by the emperor when they make mistakes, so Zongrenyuan is the royal institution to punish the royal family. So, what kind of system does this institution have, which makes many concubines pale and would rather die than go?

Zong Renfu is famous for the cruelty of criminal law. In Princess Pearl, the swallow, crape myrtle and golden lock are pinched. )

This will be traced back to the origin of Zongrenfu, which was first established by Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty and continued to the emperor shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty. The clan mansion usually helps the emperor to take charge of the clan register and arrange some royal clan matters for the emperor to inquire.

But when things happen, that is, what powerful people have done, it is different and becomes a horrible existence. Therefore, the establishment of Zongrenfu is also to prevent ordinary yamen from being lawless because they have no jurisdiction.

Qing dynasty? Zong Renfu? What is this? Why do concubines turn pale when they listen, and would rather die than go? In fact, what really scares the concubines is the police department, which actually belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not the Zongren House, and is responsible for the trial of the Shangsanqi prison case.

So once the concubines make mistakes, it is not an ordinary case. After all, their identities are different from ordinary people. They are basically involved in criminal cases and are likely to be left in the cold! The concubines who are put in limbo basically have nothing to do with the holy pet, and there is nothing to look forward to.

Moreover, many punishments in Zongrenfu are also feared by those concubines who are spoiled on weekdays. For example, many of the dramas we watched in the Qing Dynasty had the pattern of clapping and fighting, and Ziwei pinched her fingers, which was daunting.

And claustrophobia. I have been locked in a dark room all my life, with no freedom and no communication. I have seen all kinds of darkness in the harem and been bullied by all kinds.

Many people can't stand that they are crazy and can't take care of themselves. For a person, the physical injury is only temporary, but the mental injury is permanent. High above the royalty, the general laws have no effect on them at all, so the clan mansion is a terrible existence that binds them.
