With the gradual integration of Confucianism into the ruling phalanx of the Han Dynasty, the concept of family relationship and the concept of monarch-minister relationship were integrated, and the family was closely linked with the country, which became a means for the royal family to govern the country. Exile is to remove prisoners from their families and countries, leave their homes and travel long distances, and destroy prisoners mentally and physically.
In ancient times, exile was to send felons to the frontier or some desolate places and let them undergo labor reform for several years or even longer. Fortunately, they were sent to a place where the conditions were not so difficult, and after a while they started. Unfortunately, they may die of all kinds of torture and abuse. The traffic in ancient times was not as developed as it is now, and most officials who escorted prisoners also suffered this crime. So it was a hard journey to escort prisoners in ancient times, so why did officials rush to send them as soon as they met female prisoners?
Exile, as an ancient punishment, occupies a special position, adjusts the gap between other punishments and death penalty, meets the needs of rulers to a certain extent, and enhances social stability. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qing Dynasty, exile never stopped. In thousands of years' history, exile has developed from a punishment strategy to a legal provision, which is effective in many aspects and has similar effects on rulers, exiles and exile places. In different periods, the punishment of exile has something worth discussing.
As early as ancient times, the punishment of exile had already taken shape. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the punishment of exile had been formed. There are also written records about exile in Yunmeng Qin bamboo slips. Those who stole less than $220 to/kloc-0 were exiled. Compared with corporal punishment at that time, exile was not a severe punishment. Until the Han Dynasty, in order to better manage the country and society, Emperor Wendi abolished corporal punishment and replaced it with exile, which aggravated the cruelty of exile.
From Sui and Tang Dynasties to Qing Dynasty, the exile system gradually improved. When the law was enacted in the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism was fully integrated, and the death penalty was not accepted by Confucianism, so exile had a good development opportunity at this time. There was a stabbing in the Song Dynasty, which was extremely cruel to prisoners. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, both the Daming Law and the Qing Law gave different descriptions of exile, especially Daxing Wenzi Prison, which exiled countless people.
Exile is a kind of torture for prisoners and escorts, and officials are scrambling to do this hard work, because they can get a lot of benefits from it. In ancient times, women were in a humble position, and ordinary women could not commit heinous crimes. Because in ancient times, the system of joint punishment was implemented, and people from nine imperial families were often implicated, so most of these women were implicated. On the surface, this kind of women in exile are closely escorted like male prisoners, but in fact, there are many small doorways in the dark, so the prisoners suffer less and the officials pick them up much cheaper.
Women's physical strength is not as good as men's, so in the process of escort, after a long journey, where there is strength to escape, even if successful, it is difficult to survive. Therefore, most female prisoners are obedient, the escort is difficult and the task is relatively easy. Generally speaking, it is not a small family that can be exiled. Most of these female prisoners are Miss Butler, who have been spoiled since childhood. How can they stand such suffering? In order to suffer less, they usually send some property to the chieftain so that they can get preferential treatment.
Therefore, escorting female prisoners is a job with less work and more benefits, and the director is willing to do it. When you meet a better family, you may even prepare a carriage after leaving the city gate. These officials can also rub the carriage of female prisoners to the exile, reducing the hard work of walking. Therefore, escorting criminals is a hard journey. When it comes to escorting female prisoners, the officers are naturally rushing to send them.
Although there will be no more cases involving nine families in modern times, if a crime is committed, it will have an impact on the development of future generations in the family. Therefore, for yourself and your family, it is the last word to abide by relevant regulations and order, be strict with yourself and be a good person.
