Zhu Yuanzhang's crape myrtle

Do you know what the ancient ministers wanted most? Is it a gold and silver salary or an official promotion? In fact, these are all the rewards that ministers have always wanted, but in addition, there is one thing more important than money, and that is the right to save their own lives. I still remember that in the second part of Princess Zhu Huan, Wei Zierkang and Yanzi Yongqi fled to Dali, with an ambush in front and a pursuer behind them, and they had a very contradictory mood towards the emperor who once loved them.

While fleeing with the idea of not returning to the palace, the emperor personally came to invite his beloved children back to the palace. At this time, the emperor's killer weapon is not only sensible, but also the gold medal from death carried by the royal gift. When they were handed over to Swallow and Wei Zi, they were simply shocked by everyone's eyes. Why are they so surprised? In fact, it's just because the power of this death-free gold medal is really strong. No matter what big crime you have in the future, you can avoid death as long as you take out the gold medal for avoiding death

Today's Zhu Yuanzhang is also imitating the previous emperor, setting up the system of iron coupons for Dan Shu, which is also free from death. There were only 34 officials before and after this reward. Those who are rewarded are either hereditary ministers, marquis, earl, or generals who have made great contributions. The size of the iron coil will vary with different official positions. In order to prevent future generations from copying the iron coupons of Dan Shu, Zhu Yuanzhang came up with an idea to divide the iron coupons of Dan Shu presented by the royal family into two parts, one for safekeeping in the palace and the other for the ministers presented by the royal family. When ministers use it, it is used to distinguish it from the public. Once it is consistent, it can be used.

During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, counselor Zhu Sheng noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang was more and more suspicious. In order to save his life, he proposed to retire from his hometown, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused. Zhu Sheng resolutely resigned, which aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction and forced him to stay in North Korea as an official. At this time, Zhu Sheng knew that his arm couldn't beat his thigh, so he promised to stay, and at the last minute asked Zhu Yuanzhang to give his son an iron coupon for Dan Shu to save his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, and Zhu Sheng, who works in does, was implicated in the corruption of his boss. Zhu Yuanzhang hated corruption and perverting the law most in his life, so he killed all those who perverted the law. Zhu Sheng was framed. Finally, the iron coil of Dan Shu was rejected by the emperor himself, and he was not exempted from life and death. Not only Zhu Sheng's Danshu iron coils are like waste paper, but other holders of Danshu iron coils have also been punished. Whether the iron coupon of Dan Shu can be kept or not, the final interpretation right is in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand. As the saying goes, if you want me to die, I have to die. Why did the minister stay in Born to Die after using it? I didn't expect a generation of monarchs to do such a daring thing in order to consolidate the country. It's amazing. It seems that the so-called life-saving charm is also determined by the emperor's mind.
