Zhang Zijun made a trick and avoided the eyes and ears of Shiheng Jinyiwei in the capital. After many days of moving, he finally moved into the West Courtyard of Yao Mansion.

The domestic servants and family members do not go out every day, and the domestic servants of the Yao Mansion go out to buy groceries. Until the situation is unclear, Zhang Zijun’s idea is to wait for the fall of Shi Heng, but he cannot remember when the Shi Heng Group was established.

It's down, so we can only wait.

The happiest people are Zhang Zhiya and Yao Ying. In the back garden of the east courtyard of Yao Mansion, there is a crescent-shaped side door leading to the west courtyard. Since Zhang Zijun entered the west courtyard, this crescent door that never opens has become the busiest.

channel.

Zhang Zhiya and Yao Ying are similar in age, and they are lonely in the boudoir. Now that they are together, they seem to have endless things to say about their daughters. Yao Xi must go to Zhang Zijun's study every day to inform her brother-in-law of many news in the court.

Jun can deduce from this when Shi Heng will fall.

Shi Heng wanted to appoint cronies indiscriminately. In the Jinyi Guards alone, he stuffed more than fifty of his own relatives and border guards and officials from all over the country. As long as they didn't suit his liking, he would accuse him of being framed. When he was at his most arrogant, he often didn't

After the edict was issued, he wandered into the harem without authorization, and sometimes bumped into Zhu Qizhen, which shocked the emperor who had been a prisoner of war. He looked as if Cao Cao and Wang Mang were possessed.

After this, Cao Jixiang was not happy, and asked Ma De, "Why did you rush into the harem? This palace belongs to Cao, and then the two of them started fighting each other, and they didn't stop. "Your Majesty, we are all alone today.

That man entered the palace again early in the morning, hanging around Concubine Yang An and Concubine Liu Gong, and then had a quarrel with King De.

Your Majesty, that man peed beside the rockery outside Concubine Liu Life's palace today.

Your Majesty, that man went to the imperial dining room and ate fried mutton, fried pork with yellow vegetables, steamed pig's trotters, two cooked fish, fragrant rice, bean soup, and made tea.

Your Majesty, that man entered the palace again in the afternoon and took his entourage to ride horses by Taiyi Pond. He almost frightened Princess Jiashan and Princess Longqing...

Cao Jixiang kept nagging in Zhu Qizhen's ears all day long. Some people said that Yingzong had a good temper, but even the best temper could not stand being scolded by people around him all day long.

Endangering his family was a taboo of the Yingzong. Today, Cao Jixiang held a scroll in his hands and said as if he was offering a treasure: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, God has eyes, the Hanlin Academy's newly published manuscript "Da Ming Yue Bao"

I heard that one volume will be published every month in the future, and it contains several articles that are relevant to the current situation. Now it is being circulated throughout the court, and the whole capital is filled with excitement."

In Zhang Zijun's study room in the West Campus, Yao Xi also held a volume of books in his hands, and said as if he was offering a treasure: "Brother-in-law, I heard that this monthly newspaper was published by your Hanlin Academy. There are several good articles in it, but I don't know which one."

Who is the author of "The Rooster Crowds"? He scolded me so much, especially the doggerel at the end. After reading it, I made people laugh, and then cried bitterly. It hurts to think that I have become like this!"

The first issue of "Da Ming Yue Bao" was printed in a total of 300 copies, with a total of 12 pages. It was a thin book. At this time, Editor Lin, as the founder of "Da Ming Yue Bao", was talking about the monthly newspaper meeting in the Hanlin Academy.

It has brought many benefits to everyone in the Hanlin Academy. We should make the monthly newspaper a guiding light for our generation of scholars. Although tens of thousands of people have gone there, it really is "to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, and to continue the journey of the saints."

A unique knowledge that will create peace for all generations."

When Editor Lin was talking non-stop, foaming at the mouth, and his face was flushed, a group of guards broke in and grabbed Editor Lin without any explanation and dragged him away.

When everyone came to their senses, several doctors of the Five Classics hurriedly reported the news to the great scholar Chen Wen.

The same scene also happened when Chen Jian was offering wine at the Imperial Academy. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that it was Shi Heng's uncle and nephew who were arresting people for revenge. In addition, the Ministry of Official Affairs wrote to Shi Zhong, and the Ministry of Rites wrote to Shi Zhong that Shi Heng would enclose the land.

Those who built houses, ignored regulations, etc. were also imprisoned.

The capital immediately became trembling. A while ago, some people watched the "Da Ming Yue News" and were still praising the case. They were so happy that they quickly silenced themselves. They still understand the principle that disaster comes from the mouth. However, one person jumped out without losing the opportunity and led

He went to Jinyiwei with a group of followers shouting.

In the big prison, Shi Heng is asked to release someone. Who is this person? It’s the internal official Cao Jixiang. Others are afraid of you, Shi Heng. Huh, but the Za family are not afraid of you. Let them be released quickly. In broad daylight, they go into the Yamen to arrest people. Are you Shi Heng?

Don't you take the emperor into consideration? In this way, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were in conflict.

The Jinyiwei arrested people, and Dongchang hid the people. The Jinyiwei sent the arrested people to prison, and Dongchang stopped them outside the prison.

No one can explain this matter clearly. To the courtiers, although Dongchang seems to be protecting the courtiers, the confrontation between Jinyiwei and Dongchang is also a way for both sides to express their positions. The real purpose is unknown to ordinary people. As the cabinet Li

Xian, Lu Yuan can see clearly that this is a dog biting a dog, and the key depends on what the emperor says.

The matter is getting more and more intense, revolving around the "Da Ming Yue Bao". Shi Heng particularly hates an article in it. He must find out who the person named "Rooster Crowds" is. Take a look, take a look.

, all dared to point their noses and accuse me of being possessed by Cao Cao and Wang Mang. If I can’t find out who he is, I will go on a killing spree.

Cao Jixiang was in the Qianqing Palace, pointing to the article "The Rooster Crowds" and said to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, even the officials have noticed that Shi Heng's betrayal has been revealed, just like Cao Cao and Wang Mang are possessed.

Doesn't the emperor need to be raised as big as possible? Such traitors have to be guarded against.

Yang Shoucheng was transferred to Nanjing to serve as a horse washer in Zhanshi Mansion, and Taipu Si Cheng took up his post. On this day, he arrived at Guantang Station. It happened to be getting late, so he rested there and started on his way tomorrow.

The Ming Dynasty's legal canon "Ming Huidian" records: "Since the capital, there have been post offices in all directions. In Beijing, it is called Huitong Hall, and outside it is called Shuima Post and Delivery Station." This record shows that "Huitong Post" in Ming Dynasty

"Guan Pavilion" was the general hub of the national post station located in the capital Beijing at that time.

The Huitong Pavilion has two functions. One is to serve as a postal station to deliver letters, and the other is to serve as a high-end national guest house. It can accommodate foreign envoys, royal officials and senior officials. Sometimes it is also used by the government in

State banquets are held here to entertain tribute personnel from neighboring countries such as Japan, North Korea, and Vietnam.

In the postal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, there is an emerging thing that needs to be written down in detail, which is the rise of the "People's Information Bureau". The so-called "People's Information", of course, refers to the communication organizations operated spontaneously by the people. From the Ming Dynasty

It arose during the Yongle period. At that time, due to the development of the commodity economy, many large businessmen needed a kind of business contact. More importantly, the collection and distribution of goods and the exchange of funds required a joint organization to undertake it. This is

The historical background for the emergence of the “Civil Trust Bureau”.

The post station is a magical product. It not only reflects the completeness of the ancient transportation system, but also reflects the long tradition of three public funds. People coming and going (guests are officials and messengers) can eat and live for free and change transportation (horses) with relevant documents.

), the station also serves as a transfer station for the government to transfer food, weapons and other resources under special circumstances.

Simply put, a post station is a public guest house and logistics transfer station. The CEO of the post station (Yicheng) is appointed by the government, and the waiters (generally called Yi Ding, Yi Zu) are staffed by public institutions funded by the central government. However, the post station entertains others.

The funds were shared among the local people. In ancient times, the post station made great contributions to national defense and postal services.

It is said that when Yang Shoucheng and his party came to Guantang Post, they could get free food and lodging with the imperial official's pass certificate, and received treatment corresponding to their status and rank. A consumption grade system was implemented. The post station received passing officials according to the prescribed reception standards. Officials have different status and ranks.

, the reception standards for food, accommodation, carriages and horses are different.

When the Yi Cheng pass certificate was used to verify Yang Shoucheng's official position, it clearly stated that Zhan Shi's house was washed and the horse was washed.

If you are from the fifth rank, and the Taipusi Prime Minister is from the sixth rank, you will be received as a fifth-rank official. The food will provide two meat, two vegetarian and one soup, plus snacks, steamed buns and sesame cakes.

One portion, a pot of fragrant tea after the meal, and one portion of fruit. If you are a sixth-rank official, you will have one meat, two vegetarian, and one soup, one snack, and a pot of fragrant tea after the meal. If you are the seventh-rank county official, one meat, one vegetarian, and one

Soup, a pot of fragrant tea after meals, one meat and one vegetarian dish will be gone after the seventh grade. Of course, white rice will be enough. For those above the fourth grade, you can order whatever you want. As long as it is available in the inn, there are no restrictions.

In terms of accommodation, officials of the fourth rank and above can live alone in a small courtyard. The Yi Cheng checked the voucher for a long time and said to Yang Shoucheng: "Master Yang works as a horse washer in the palace. How many horses can he wash in a day?"

At that time, Yang Shoucheng was stunned. Yi Cheng didn't know whether he was new or not familiar with the business, and didn't know what the official position of horse washing was. This guy regarded himself as a servant in the palace, and now Yang Shoucheng has been demoted.

In Nanjing, it was better to keep a low profile. He just smiled and replied nonchalantly: "If you are diligent, wash more horses. If you are lazy, wash less. The specific number of horses washed depends on your mood."

When the postmaster heard this, he was stunned for a moment. There is such a good job in the world. At this time, a postmaster said that another official was coming to stay at the posthouse. The person who came was the censor, and he would be there soon.

Now Yi Cheng was a little anxious, because the inn was unfortunately full tonight and there were no spare rooms anywhere.

After looking at Yang Shoucheng next to him, he realized the plan. So he walked to Yang Shoucheng and said: "A royal censor is coming. You must give up the superior room to him. You live in the woodshed."

Just make do with it for one night!”

If he was a narrow-minded villain, Yi Cheng would have suffered a long time ago. Fortunately, Yang Shoucheng had a broad mind and didn't care about him. Because in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial censor was a seventh-rank official, Xi Ma was a fifth-rank official, and the Xi Ma belonged to the Prince's East Palace.

People, the censor only has the power to supervise all officials. Obviously, Yang Shoucheng's rank is higher than the censor.

So, Yang Shoucheng said slowly, "Then wait until the censor arrives before it's too late!"
Chapter completed!
