What is the story of "400 death row inmates returning to prison"? Why is it amazing?

It is said that in 628 AD, considering that many older maids in the palace were unmarried, Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong released 3,000 maids from the palace for the sake of their happiness and asked them to find their own happiness. Bai Juyi's poem is called "Seven Virtues Dance-Beauty Disturbs, Chen Ye". Li Shimin and Emperor Taizong were praised throughout, and several anecdotes about Li Shimin were written. It can be seen that these things had already spread all over the world at that time, and everyone knew it.

I don't know much about history because it's an Amnesty. I guess it's important to go back to prison after visiting relatives in China. It is precisely because of the martial arts of Emperor Taizong that he created the Quartet Celebration and joined foreign countries, which is called "Tiankhan". On this basis, only when the prosperity is peaceful can we dare to let the death row prisoners return to their hometown to reunite with their parents, and we still have the confidence to control them and protect the peace of one side.

Qualification as a mirror is recorded. One year in the twelfth lunar month, officials of the Ministry of Punishment reported to prison. Emperor Taizong asked how many people were executed in prison in Ming Qiu, and 380 people answered. Emperor Taizong decided to put these condemned prisoners back to reunite with their families. According to the logic of being a man in advance, Li Shimin did a good job (ruling the world), but being a man really dare not compliment, which is simply heinous. In order to ascend the throne, he did not hesitate to kill his brother, creating a human tragedy.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the King of Tang ruled the country well, winning the support, love and mutual trust of the people. So it's true. Generally, they are afraid to flee because they are worried about the safety of their families. After all, the system of sitting together is no joke. In fact, not only in ancient times, but also in the current laws. For example, the last emperor Puyi was pardoned, which is in line with the legal requirements.

This fact, in the Tang Dynasty, can be considered that they were influenced by Li Shimin's benevolence and righteousness, and they came back to die as a sign of repentance and honesty, so it is reasonable to release them.
