The Iron Certificate, it was an ancient document granted by emperors to meritorious officials, allowing them and their descendants to enjoy special privileges or immunity. When granted, it was an extraordinary honor, akin to a life-saving charm.
However, once given, as time passed, the imperial throne wished to reclaim it. Who knew if someone might use it to rebel? Failing a rebellion, it served as a life-saver by granting immunity. But what if the rebellion succeeded?
Therefore, over time, emperors would eventually rack their brains to reclaim the Iron Certificate. Otherwise, it would be like a fishbone stuck in the throat, an irritating concern hard to swallow.
Even if the current emperor didn't want to take it back, what about future generations? There would always be someone who wanted it.

"In the current court, only two individuals have the Iron Certificate," Nanny said.
Song Ci was curious, "Who are they?"
