Despite Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous methods, there are still many people who knowingly commit crimes, most of these are meritorious men who followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the early years, relying on their military exploits and lawlessness.

Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, the founder of the country, returned to Beijing from Shaanxi, ignoring the royal law and taking advantage of the post pass. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious about this and rebuked Lu Zhongheng, saying: The Central Plains has gone through wars, the people have just lived a stable life, and the post households have finally bought horses, and life is still very difficult. All of them are like you, even if the people sell their sons and daughters, they can't meet their extravagant expectations! Lu Zhongheng was therefore no longer used, and he was later killed for treason.

Zhu Yuanzhang also severely punished his two sons-in-law for violating post rules. One is the town of Horse Guo. When he came back from a business trip to Liaodong, he illegally brought three-bar hazelnuts and used a postman to transport them along the way. When Zhu Yuanzhang learned of this, he ordered Guo Zhen to make up for the remuneration of the private post man, and at the same time ordered to post a list at each post station along the Shanhaiguan Road, stipulating that in the future, no more phenomena would be allowed to use the official post to bring goods privately, otherwise they would all be punished. The other is Ouyang Lun, the commander of the horses, who repeatedly violated the prohibition of using the post to smuggle tea, and his domestic slaves were particularly violent, forcing the post station vehicles to transport goods for him, and also insulting and beating law enforcement officers at will. Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this, he was very angry, and Ouyang Lun was given to death, and his house slaves were sentenced to death.

The post house of the Ming Dynasty has 400 pavilionmen, 171 horses, and 173 donkeys. Sometimes the staff is not enough, and the service personnel are temporarily transferred from the people, the scale is not grand compared with Datang, and in the local pavilions, some are responsible for receiving Chinese and foreign guests, so they are also very particular.

Hangzhou is located in the main road of the Grand Canal, and is the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, the scale of the post house is second only to the capital, by the avenue, surrounded by a high wall, the entrance is the gatehouse, there are both the residence for the post man to live, there is a house for the post man to live, there is a hall for the messenger to live, as well as the kitchen, stable and warehouse; The exterior of the building is majestic and the interior decoration is exquisite; The whole post house is full of green trees and the landscape is also good.

Yang Zheng had expected that the post official would not be too bad, but when he got inside, he saw that there were mountains and rivers everywhere, or ponds and trees were planted, and pavilions and pavilions could be seen everywhere, as if he was in a big garden in the south of the Yangtze River, and he couldn't help nodding secretly.

When the two entered the post house, it was already very lively, with all kinds of shouts, and Yang Zheng couldn't help muttering: "Isn't this a place for people to rest, how can it be more lively than the song and dance hall in later generations?" “

Puzzled, raised his feet and walked in, only to see a small courtyard inside, a round table under a few green bamboos, not far from the round table, there is a coffee table, on the coffee table, a small stove, the stove is booming, a small long-spouted clay pot is put into the stove fire, occasionally gurgling twice, obviously the tea soup has boiled, bursts of white mist rise, two people sit under the table, both head scarves, middle-aged scribes in shirts are bowing their heads to each other, and there are two pretty women in green clothes standing next to them watching the battle, a laughing and laughing appearance, and the surrounding scenery to set off, It's a beautiful picture.

Yang Zheng felt a little surprised, his knowledge of the post house, he had only heard it in his previous life, but most of what he said was the ugly things of the post house in the previous dynasty, just like listening to the ugly things of the entertainment stars of later generations, for example, in the fourteenth year of Tang Tianbao, An Lushan rebelled in the name of "Qingjun side" in Fanyang, Xuanzong got the news within six days in Huaqingchi (the daily speed of the post horse was about 500 miles), and he hunted Shu in the west, and rested at the Ma Weiyi on the way to the must-pass...... Shang (Tang Ming Emperor) was forced to order (Gao) Lishi to lead the concubine to the Buddhist hall next to the post house, and hanged her - the poor peerless beauty Xiang Xiaoyu died and was buried on the side of Yixi Road......

Another example is that the traitorous ministers have also been demoted, the infamous eighty-year-old Cai Jing was demoted, and the people along the way insisted on not selling food, and they couldn't live in the post station, but they finally died of starvation in the deserted temple in Changsha; The traitor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jia Nidao, was demoted, and was killed by Zheng Huchen, who was escorted in the Kapok Nunnery, and did not die well.

Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian was impeached, was exiled to Fengyang to guard the imperial mausoleum, and when he went out of Beijing, he even took more than 1,000 guards and loaded with forty carts of gold and silver treasures to swagger through the market, which greatly angered the emperor, and he committed suicide in fear of crime in the Youjiadian inn in Fucheng on the way, and his entourage was also scattered...... All kinds of news are not miserable, how can there be such leisure.

Although the heart is different, but it is not good to say much, I have to continue to walk forward, bypassing a few muddy paths, that is, a small bridge and flowing water in front, pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere, at this time it is spring, weeping green is not beautiful.

"No wonder these officials have come to live in the post house with their families, such a view, such a residence condition, eating, drinking, housing and transportation are all exempt, and there are other activities, no wonder everyone in the Ming Dynasty wants to be an official, and ordinary people in such a post house are afraid that they will not be able to live in a lifetime?" Yang Zheng sighed twice, crossed a wooden bridge, deep in a bamboo forest, and saw a row of houses, the wall was snow-white with white powder ash, and it was a little dazzling in the sun, the two walked through the green bamboo forest, and then stood in front of the door of the first house on the left.

Yang Zheng waved his hand, signaled these people to retreat, and Fan Zhong entered the house one after the other, the house was very large, extremely clean, on the snow-white wall, hung a lot of literati calligraphy and paintings, the layout was very elegant, there was a high platform in front, a simple shed was built on the high platform, and a woman was sitting in the shed, who was bowing her head and stroking the piano, and the sound of the piano was elegant.

And Yang Shiqi, Hu Ying and others were sipping tea soup while talking and laughing while listening to the women on the stage stroking the piano.

Hearing the movement, several people turned their heads to look, and saw that it was Yang Zheng who hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Your Highness, this is ——?" Yang Shiqi glanced at the wine jar that Fan Zhong was holding and asked suspiciously.

Yang Zheng didn't believe in the rumors that medicinal wine could aphrodisiac, so he didn't believe it even more, and seeing that everyone was full of interest, he said: "A jar of medicinal wine that has been brewed for 20 years, it is rumored that the golden gun will not fall——? ”

When Yang Shiqi and the others heard that the golden gun did not fall, their eyes lit up, and when they looked at Yang Zheng again, there was a coveted smile in their eyes, Yang Shiqi said extremely shamelessly: "Your Highness, this wine jar is not small, and there is a lot of wine, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not be able to drink it all, Lord Ouyang once said, it is better to be happy alone, it is better to be happy with everyone, I think it is better to be happy——? ”

"Okay, you're not ashamed, you're all this age, and you're still worried about this kind of liquor, and you're not afraid that something will happen to you in a while?" Yang Zheng scolded, glanced at the two old men who were not ashamed, and then looked at the wine jar in Fan Zhong's hand and said, "Since they are all here, let's drink together?" “

"Haha, I knew His Highness would say that?" Yang Shiqi smiled, his face full of pride.

"You old immortal? What is it better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, can this wine Lao Tzu still be happy alone? Yang Zheng scolded, this will make it difficult to take back what he said, so he can only let Fan Zhong prepare.

After a while, a few catties of beef and a few dishes of Jiangnan side dishes were served on the small table, and Fan Zhong held the wine jar and filled it for everyone one by one, I have to say that this wine is really fragrant, the moment the wine seal was opened, Yang Zheng knew that the shopkeeper Qiu was not lying, and this wine was only afraid that it really had that effect.

In his previous life, he never believed that medicine and wine were closely related, but at this time, he only drank a small sip, and the fiery feeling in his lower abdomen immediately surged up from his lower abdomen.

Yang Shiqi tasted a small sip with an intoxicated face, chirped twice, and muttered: "Wine is the long of a hundred medicines", this wine is sweet and light, containing rehman, atractylodes, wolfberry, Suoyang, yam, Poria cocos, ginseng, Cistanche, yin sheep weed, dodder seed, Ze Yuan, psyllium, angelica, psoralen, shou wu and other twenty-seven flavor herbs, a sip is enough to anti-aging, anti-fatigue, invigorating qi and solidifying the surface, for qi deficiency and weakness, lack of qi has a significant improvement effect, it is really a good wine, I can't imagine that the old man is so old, You can still drink such good wine, tsk——? ”

Yang Zheng was a little regretful, and became more and more annoyed when he heard this, but he had to admire the power of this old guy, this wine has been put for twenty years, this guy can taste the medicinal properties just by taking a sip, it seems that he doesn't drink this kind of medicinal wine on weekdays, no wonder he is so old, he is still red every day, and he despises it, and he wants to take the opportunity to take back the wine jar, but he doesn't want to be held by Yang Shiqi and poured himself a drink, and it's not easy to say anything now.

Yang Shiqi took another sip, glanced at Yang Zheng and said, "According to His Highness, how is this move today?" “

Yang Zheng after a glass of medicinal wine, he only felt that his whole body was hot, although it was May at this time, but the weather in Jiangnan was still a little cool, but he didn't realize it, and what made him even more uncomfortable was that his little monk also took the initiative to make King Kong angry at this time, so that he didn't dare to drink anymore.

Yang Shiqi's words, if others don't understand it, but Yang Zheng just performed hard, how can he not understand the meaning of these words, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The effect is better than expected?" I think that early tomorrow morning, the news of the prince's arrival in Hangzhou will immediately spread throughout the whole city of Hangzhou? “

Yang Shiqi smiled and said: "Isn't it, although His Royal Highness has said some jokes, it is also the most practical, compare with these literati, borrow the mouths of these literati, and publicize it, early tomorrow morning, the prince will win the first place and hold the rumors of the beauty, I am afraid that I am afraid that it is not only the entire Hangzhou City?" “

The two looked at each other and laughed at each other.
