The Ming Dynasty had stations in various places, generally speaking, one station in ten miles.

Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the rectification and restoration of the nationwide post station on the 22nd day after he became emperor.

The next year, he issued an edict to rename all the stations of the Yuan Dynasty to post offices, and more than 230 indecent post names across the country were changed to be more elegant. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also vigorously engaged in the construction of post office facilities in the border areas. In addition to the southwest Yunnan and Guizhou areas, Zhu Yuanzhang opened post roads and set up post stations in the northeast, north and northwest border areas, which greatly strengthened the connection between the central and border areas.

In view of the chaos in the Yuan Dynasty post stations, Zhu Yuanzhang used strict laws to restrict some privileged people from the beginning. He understood the regulations: "Not to be given to posts unless it is a military or a major matter in the country", which means that it is not a major matter between the state and military, and no abuse of post horses or use of post stations' post facilities is allowed.

In the 26th year when Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, the "Regulations on the Consent to the Post" were promulgated, which stipulated that a total of twelve additional conditions were added, limiting the conditions for those who met the conditions for using the Post Horse and Post Boat. No one else was allowed to "carry the Post Boat and Post Boat without authorization", and those who violated the situation were severely punished.

The Ming Huidian, a legal ceremony of this dynasty, records that: "Since the capital, we have reached the four directions, we are called Huitongguan in the capital, and outside we are called Shuima Yiyi and Shihua.

Huitong Hall was the main hub of the national post stations located in the capital city at that time. The memorials and letters of local officials from all over the country were first to arrive at Huitong Hall through the post station. After the Huitong Hall was classified, it was transferred to Tongzheng Department for classification and sent to various departments.

After Chen Yingyuan wrote the memorial, of course he wanted to use 800 miles to speed up and upload his memorial to the capital immediately, but he also knew that this would give people a feeling of wanting to kill his opponent, so he followed the ordinary path to pass on the transmission.

After leaving the governor's yamen, Zhou Hui and the others were targeted. The other party's memorial went westward. There was only one official road in the three east prefectures and only one post road. They all passed through Laizhou, and the other party did not intend to bypass Laizhou. That was because the person who passed it did not know that this letter was to deal with Liu Yuanqiao and Zheng Zhibao.

Zhou Hui would not be so stupid, so he just took action in the territory of Laizhou Prefecture. Once the incident happened, the other party found out, it would be troublesome.

After the memorial passed through Laizhou and arrived in Qingzhou, they began to take action.

Postmen usually ride fast horses. After receiving memorials, they will use fast horses to pass to the next post station and pass them from the next post station.

They only conveyed the baggage with the form of emergency documents, and did not know the specific content of the memorials in the baggage, so they all signed for the baggage and started to convey it immediately.

They set up an ambush outside a post station in Qingzhou. The postman rode a fast horse all the way forward on the official road. Who knew that the horse fell to the front and fell to the ground, broke the horse's legs, and even his own legs were injured. He had no choice but to sit on the ground and ask for help.

Because this is an official road and a dense crowd, and there are still people passing by, a carriage passed by soon. The other party was a Wang Yuanwai and Ma Yi's servant who went to Qingzhou to visit relatives. After the other party knew about him, he was very concerned and invited him to board the carriage and go to the next office together.

The postman was not afraid of being cheated, so he got on the other party's carriage. As for his horse, he could only send someone to carry the horse back after the next post station to see if it could be cured.

Yiding was injured in his foot and could only sit on the other party's carriage. He was very happy with the warm hospitality of the foreigner. He also inquired about the other party's identity on the way and knew that the other party was just going to Qingzhou to visit relatives.

As a result, his bag was replaced in the car. After the Master Wang took them to the next station, he put him down at the station and walked directly to the Qingzhou official road.

When he arrived here, the bag was replaced, but the postman at this station did not think anything was wrong. He took the bag and passed it down the stop. As a result, the bag was soon passed to the capital.

The Huitong Pavilion headquarters immediately classified the memorials, and then learned that he was an emergency memorial from the governor of one side, and then handed it over to the Tongzheng Department to transfer it to the cabinet.

The memorials of the local governor can only be handled by the cabinet. The memorial was passed to the cabinet and was first assigned to Wang Yingxiong. When he saw it, he found it very strange, and he did not surprise him to Wen Tiren.

There are now five cabinet ministers in the cabinet, namely Wen Tiren, Wu Zongda, Wang Yingxiong, He Wuzuo and Qian Shisheng.

Wen Tiren entered the cabinet in the third year of Chongzhen. He is now the chief minister of the cabinet and has the oldest qualification.

Wu Zongda, the junior teacher of Jin and the Grand Secretary of the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor in February.

Wang Yingxiong, the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion, Prince Taibao, in February.

He Wuzuo, the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion, Prince Taibao, in February.

Qian Shisheng, the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion of Prince Taibao in February.

This memorial was originally assigned to Wang Yingxiong, but Wang Yingxiong knew that Wen Tiren was very interested in Chen Yingyuan, so he transferred the memorial to Wen Tiren. Wen Tiren felt strange at first glance.

Wen Tiren is the highest-ranking figure in the cabinet. Although he is not a one-man in the cabinet, those who dare to oppose him and those who dare not listen to him will basically be ruined by him. You must know that the former chief minister Zhou Yanru was forced to him away. Who dares to fight with others? He will not be surprised to be squeezed away by him.

Wen Tiren was a Jinshi, a sleek, cunning, and scheming, and was especially good at glimpsing political trends. Therefore, Guangzong and Xizong were officials. They had been well-off for thirty years in the officialdom and had a good career. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he did not suffer any losses. After Wei Zhongxian collapsed, he was not unlucky. He was really skilled in the world and versatile.

As early as after Wen Tiren impeached Qian Qianyi's case, he received huge evil comments (the evil comments mainly come from the Donglin Party). In the second year of Chongzhen, he and Zhou Yanru, who were also questioning Qian Qianyi, Wang Yongguang, Minister of Personnel, and Shen Yongmao, Minister of War, were called "Four Evils". In recent years, Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang, Xue Guoguan, and Xie Sheng were called "Four Evils". In more than ten years, the four Evils were replaced by three, and Wen Tiren was still listed, with a gold sign and a treacherous minister who was beaten.

He has a famous saying that became a joke in the officialdom, but he was very popular with Emperor Chongzhen.

As officials, we only kowtow. If we don’t make mistakes, we will make great achievements. We will be obsessed with everything. As the saying goes, “The Supreme One says: I have three treasures. One says: kindness, the second says: frugality, and the third says: I dare not be the first in the world.”

But if you think that Wen Tiren is a foolish and incompetent person like this, you are very wrong. Wen Tiren is "calm and fierce in the outside world, and has a deep and powerful aptitude". He is a powerful bureaucrat with great scheming and profound skills.

Wen Tiren used Zhou Yanru's power to enter the cabinet to assist the government, but after entering the cabinet, he and Zhou Yanru had completely opposite attitudes towards the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party. The Donglin Party made Wen Tiren messy and wanted to die. It was under the leadership of Wen that the Donglin Party lost power in the court.

In view of the party struggles in the Wanli and Tianqi Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen was most disgusted with the formation of ministers, so he understood Wen Tiren's "isolation" and "no party", and criticized the ministers for not worrying about state affairs and attacking each other with personal feelings. In June of the third year, Wen Tiren was appointed as Minister of Rites and Grand Secretary of the Dongge.

But among the people, Lord Wen has a very poor reputation. The folk songs during the Chongzhen period: "The Ministry of Rites reopened the Tianlist, and the top scholar was the second place, and he was a little frightened. The cabinet turned into a brothel, and the turtle turtle despise, and he always suffered from plague." It means that Emperor Chongzhen trusted and reused Wen Tiren and suffered from plague.

Wen Qiren was covered in white hair, but he looked like a demon. In his eyes, there were no good people who were officials. He knew very clearly that Chen Yingyuan and Liu Yuanqiao could not pee in the same pot. Now he actually submitted memorials to praise each other, which made him confused.

He knew that Chen Yingyuan and Liu Yuanqiao were almost as powerful as destroying each other's yamen. Now he was actually praising each other vigorously, which made him feel very strange. Could it be that Chen Yingyuan's Taoist practice suddenly became higher? Now he is doing the same thing with the light?

Under such circumstances, he himself didn't know what happened in the East Three Mansions, so he had to ask Wang Yingxiong: "What do you think, Master Wang?"

Wang Yingxiong said, "Chen Yingyuan's realm has improved, and everyone is a colleague. It's best to be harmonious with light and dust. As for this kind of memorial that praises each other, just stay at the top of the board."

Wen Tiren is a very independent person when encountering things, and has his own opinions on everything, but in this matter, he just doesn't know what happened and doesn't understand the other party's way, so Wang Yingxiong suggested staying, so he decided to stay.

As a result, Chen Yingyuan stayed at the cabinet and waited for this memorial in Dengzhou to come to the court, and after he was eagerly waiting for the memorial to be sent to the court, he aroused a thousand-foot waves and rekindled the civil servants' attack on military officers.

He observed the Tang Daily every day, and the writings sent by various ministries to the East Three Prefectures every day, but after reading them for a few days, he felt strange. He had a fierce memorial, and the court must have stirred up a wave of thousands of stones. Maybe it was passed to the emperor, so why would it have no sound at all?

This memorial was passed to the cabinet, but there were five cabinet ministers. Wen Tiren had the final say alone, and he could not reach the point of covering the sky. For this reason, Chen Yingyuan couldn't even eat food and was thinking hard about this matter. What happened?
