To think of others to give themselves strength, you have to give enough benefits to each other, this is why the boss is keen to paint a big cake for employees, in the feudal dynasty period, the emperor to the minister painted the biggest "cake" is probably the gold medal of death, there is a saying that "the king wants the subject to die, the subject has to die", a gold medal for the death is useless.
Death-free gold medal is the "Danshu Iron Coupon", the person who created it is Han Gaozu Liu Bang, but in the earliest times, it did not have the privileges of exoneration and exemption from death, but as a kind of certificate for adding officials to the title of marquis, to fight the world and the early days of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang could not neglect the heroes, heavy ministers, etc., otherwise no one fought for him, and it was easy to lose the hearts of the people, but the emperor was jealous of these heroes and heavy ministers in his heart.
Those who can get the gold medal for avoiding death are often not ordinary people, and those who have obtained the gold medal for avoiding death are usually suspected by the emperor, "avoiding death" is better said to be "going to death", from the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, "Danshu Iron Coupon" has the authority to avoid death, and from the Northern Wei to the Tang Dynasty, the number of deaths is still increasing.
Developing into the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang legally regulated the awarding of "Danshu Iron Coupons", but the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty were not a joke, and the "Hu Lan Prison (Hu Weiyong Case and Blue Jade Case)" affected more than 45,000 people.
The fate of the founding hero is lamentable, and today this person who took out the ancestral death card is not the son of the hero, so what is his ending?
In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu (1391), the song on the corruption of Qian Yongqin, the prefect of Jianchang, was presented to Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always hated corruption, and Qian Yongqin was an inevitable capital crime, and it was difficult to escape the living sin.
Qian Yongqin's son Qian Wu saw that his father was taken away, the home was about to be raided, and he was afraid that he would be living on the street in the future, and his heart was also very anxious, and in a hurry, Qian Wu remembered the death card in the family, and the dead horse as a live horse doctor took the death-free gold medal to meet the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite surprised, the death-free gold medals he sent out were also counted in his heart, when was it awarded to such a person, was it given away by others? Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the "Danshu Iron Coupon" and suddenly understood.
This is not the death-free gold medal sent out by Zhu Yuanzhang at all, but more than 500 years ago, Tang Zhaozong awarded it to Qian Wei, the king of Pengcheng County, who had made meritorious contributions to countering the rebellion, with 333 golden characters on it, including the words "Qing forgives nine deaths, and his descendants are spared three deaths" several words.
However, this is all hundreds of years ago, and it does not have much to do with the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yuanzhang still pardoned Qian Yongqin's capital crime. The emperor's mind is naturally difficult to guess, some people think that Zhu Yuanzhang remembered Qian Wei's loyalty and love for the people, so he avoided death, and some people thought that Qian Qin could not threaten the imperial power, and through this matter, he could publicize the idea of loyalty and show that he was a benevolent prince, so as to win the hearts and minds of the people.
That is to say, the pardon of qian qin is not a big problem, it is a matter of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and Zhu Yuanzhang can also reap a wave of benefits from it, if Qian Yongqin is not a descendant of Qian Yong, but the son of a ming dynasty hero, I am afraid it will not be so lucky.
Nowadays, the iron coupons are also the earliest surviving iron coupons in China, and in 1951, the descendants of the Changle Qian clan donated the iron coupons, which were later collected in the Chinese History Museum and are national first-class cultural relics.
