Ancestral temples are very common in court dramas in Qing Dynasty. It was described as a very mysterious and terrible place. Those beautiful conquerors who have committed crimes are usually sent to the family building. But there is no good fruit to eat when you go in, and you have to peel it if you don't die. It's very painful. It seems that the imperial clan mansion is a place to punish royal children.

In fact, this is just one of the functions of the clan government.

As we all know, the royal family has a huge career and a large population, which will form a huge nation as soon as it opens. This family needs a reasonable management plan.

For example, the imperial palace where the emperor lives is not a big community composed of thousands of emperors and queens. This is a big community composed of three palaces and six hospitals, with thousands of princes, emperors, grandchildren, eunuchs and maids. Eating, drinking, defecating, dressing and taking medicine all need reasonable planning and arrangement, so there is an institution like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for managing state affairs.

However, the "imperial clan" and the inner government are similar in nature. They are such an organization that specializes in managing royal affairs.

"At the beginning of the system, before the temple, the Eighth National Congress and Baylor recognized the national politics and returned to the official position. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, the imperial clan was established in the draft of Qing history.

It has a wide range of functions and many things to do. Just like whose Baylor married, whose Fujin gave birth to a child, and whose prince lived to be a hundred years old, how to celebrate the New Year with these miscellaneous family affairs must be managed by the tribal government.

For example, the children of the imperial clan can get a "funeral fee" called "silver" after registering in the imperial clan. The number depends on the distance between emperors, ranging from tens to hundreds. When a clan man gets married, he will report to the clan office in advance and give money for the wedding, which is called "red silver". Tribal women get married, and if they are nearby, they can also go to the tribal office to collect the wedding expenses.

The most important thing is to count the identity information of the children of the imperial clan and distribute them according to their titles. After giving birth to a boy, the imperial clan can register in the imperial clan, 125 per month and one bag of rice per quarter. Luan had three taels of silver and four bags of rice every month when she was a child. The weight of each bag of rice is the same as that of the Eight Banners officials. It can be said that male members of the imperial clan will get a share of money and food as soon as they are born. Although there is no money in the imperial clan, the daughter of the imperial clan must register with the imperial clan. They are called "imperial daughters" and represent the nobility.

Idle imperial clan can get more than ten taels of silver every month. If there is a deacon vacancy or hereditary vacancy, the price of Luan can reach more than 120. The vacancy of deacon is a position in charge of imperial clan, and the salary is paid according to rank. Hereditary vacancy means that father passes on to son and son passes on to son. For example, the "hereditary commander in chief of the Qing Dynasty" was passed down from generation to generation, owned by the family and enjoyed the corresponding treatment.

Obviously, this is a very complicated job.

You know, the Aisingiorro family in the Qing Dynasty was a super family. This includes not only the emperor and his children, but also his brothers and descendants of his family. The more people go back, the more people. You know, during the Nurhachi period, there were only a few dozen people in their Aisin Choro family, but by the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was already a big nation with a population of 1.4 million.

The most complicated thing should be the statistics of titles. The Qing dynasty set up a title system for the children of the royal family. In the order of prince, monarch, Baylor, humble, public and general. Royal families with different titles are treated differently. For example, the annual salary of the Supreme Prince of Heshuo is 1.2 million, the annual salary of Milu is 1.0 million, and Dorothy is directly halved.

At the same time, this is not what people usually think of as title inheritance. Although it is inherited according to the principle of "people-oriented"

In other words, the prince's heir to the throne can only be Dorothy's king. As for other sons, they can only get titles through exams and seals. The higher the test score, the higher the title, and of course it will not exceed the title of prince.

This is to prevent the country from being crushed by more and more imperial clan children like the Ming Dynasty. And these are the responsibilities of the clan government. Who should have what title, who should have what salary and who should be demoted? Cannot be empty.

However, it is normal to think about it. The emperor has many children, many children and many grandchildren. The emperor's children may be younger than their grandchildren. I really need a special person to manage them. Otherwise, they will be confused. I don't know what to call them when I see them.

Of course, the imperial clan also has the function of rewarding and punishing the children of the imperial clan, which is why we saw that the children of the imperial clan were sent to the imperial clan for punishment in the court drama of the Qing Dynasty.

After all, the royal family has a special status. The so-called "the emperor breaks the law and the people are guilty" is just a sentence. The Baylor brothers' criminal department is not qualified to judge them at all, let alone punish them. In the clan building, although they will be punished, it will definitely be easier for them than the people in prison. Relatively speaking, Zong Renfu's treatment is actually very good. There are specialized doctors and servants, and personal freedom is restricted after being sent in. After the Qing dynasty banned many princes, the court regularly selected some beautiful women to ensure the reproduction of future generations.

Besides, those officials in charge of the imperial clan are actually very difficult to do. They are all nobles of Zilong, Sun Long and Tianchi. They don't know whether the royal children they care about will be punished temporarily or permanently. They all eat delicious food and won't bring any trouble to themselves. Even if a prince is exiled to Shu Ren and expelled from the imperial clan, the imperial clan should take care of him instead of wandering among the crowd.

It's like teaching children by yourself. There are no legal restrictions. Everything is subject to family rules, or the likes and dislikes of the emperor. For example, commitment is one thing. Maybe my brother will be locked up for a month, eat only one meal a day, and my brother will come out three days later.

I can't help it. Who does Brother Four like better?

But in the end, the concubines in the harem are not imperial clan. There is a historical record that "concubines would rather die than see decline." On this basis, some people think that the ancestral temple is the existence of hell. This statement is wrong. Concubines in the palace are generally handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Shen Xing.

Shen Xingsi is much more terrible than Zong Renfu. If concubines are imprisoned in Shen Xing Temple, they will be punished by various severe criminal laws. After coming out of Shen Xing Temple, they will be put into limbo, and their life in the harem will basically come to an end.
