Features: Historically, in autocratic systems, the struggle and competition in the power arena usually follow the rule that the iron fist prevails, while those who are soft-hearted will inevitably be driven out of the stage of power, or even suffer ruin and disgrace. Thus, in the palaces of China through the ages, a series of tragic dramas have been played out, including father-son conflicts, brotherly feuds, and the execution of meritorious officials.
