After that, the rule was set, and the prince and prince would be served, which even contained the meaning of hostages. Later, it was stipulated that the palace abolished the prince's minister, promoted the eldest brother to the five grades, and the long history was personally selected by the emperor. In the late Hongwu period, although the vassal king had a feudal title, he was already a lielord who did not govern the people, did not divide the land, and did not govern the affairs of food; The civil officials of the kingdom were selected by the court and tried according to the law when they violated the law; If the people of the kingdom insult the king, they must also be interrogated and understood before they can be punished, so as to prevent the king from accusing the officials and people in the fiefdom; In terms of economy, if there is a construction project in the palace, the payment shall be made by the household in the city where the king lives immediately, and the article shall not be delayed; The prince's age was also reduced to ten thousand stones. Since then, the power of the prince has been slowly weakened, and after Zhu Di was martyred in Fengtian, in view of the loss of the previous dynasty, he attached great importance to the control of the vassal king, or on the charge of rebellion and other crimes, they were cut off their titles, subordinate officials, and guards, and the power to command the garrison was abolished. Or move the feudal kings of the fortress area into the interior, and gradually remove the threat of the imperial court, and set many rules.

Since the beginning of Yongle, the vassal kings also have many restrictions in their fiefs, such as the two kings are not allowed to see each other; shall not leave the fiefdom without permission; Even if you go out of the city and provincial tombs, you must apply for it, and you can only make it after getting permission; If you go out of the city for no reason, the magistrate should play in time, and all the relevant officials will be punished with a heavy cane, civil officials and even dismissed officials, and military attachés will be demoted to the frontier; Except for his birthday, the vassal king is not allowed to drink alcohol; When the royal palace distributes all the affairs, the magistrate must immediately report it, and he must wait for the permission of the emperor before he is allowed to carry it out, otherwise he will be punished with a serious crime. The palace officials were also replaced by high-ranking people who were not promoted to the first place, and the county magistrate was dismissed, which became a place where the position was idle, and the power of the prince was completely weakened.

In addition, the constraints on the clan are: not to pre-empt the business of the four people, the eunuchs will never be extinct, and the farmers and merchants will not be connected. If you don't get the Beijing Division, if you go out of the city and cross the border to the Beijing Division, you will be asked to reform the people first, and then send them to the Fengyang high wall to confine, and the people who go with them will be sent to the extreme guard to fill the army forever. The clan is not allowed to leave the country without permission, and those who live in the countryside must go to the house three times in ten days, even if they are a hundred miles away, and if they do not arrive at the first time, they will be locked up and sent to the trial office, and they will be convicted and punished. From the king of the county to the guest of honor, it is forbidden to associate with civil and military officials and banquets during the year. It can be said that the prince of Yongle is not enough to have such a great influence.

Xu Mian was really a little surprised, a prince who was constrained by many rules could still give orders, and the local officials would let him act like this in the fiefdom, and he couldn't help but ignore the rules and laws of the court. And right now, the King of Han is doing this, obviously because he is more prepared for the prince to go north.

Zhu Zhanji's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this result, this uncle of his had always regarded himself as Tang Taizong, if he didn't even prepare for this, it would be too unbearable.

"I didn't expect King Han's movements to be quite fast?" Wang Zhen muttered quietly, and his expression did not look very nervous.

It's not that he has an idea, on the contrary, he has no idea, the reason why he will be calm after hearing the news, it is because the prince on the opposite side has a calm face, along the way Wang Zhen got along with him day and night, and found that this prince is not as unbearable as he imagined, confident, calm, and when dealing with things, he will be decisive, so as not to drag the mud and water, and the majesty that he should have as a royal descendant is not a lot at all, which makes him admire.

"Do you know that there is any other way out of this city?" Zhu Zhanji asked in an unhurried tone.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Since the king of Han gave the order, the officials of Le'an Prefecture have blocked all the city gates and exits, but only this city gate has been opened!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhu Zhanji suspiciously, and said cautiously: "But although King Han has many restrictions, it is not difficult to go out?" “

Zhu Zhanji, Xu Mian's eyes lit up, and Zhu Zhanji said: "How do you say this?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the mansion of the king of Han who had been keeping to himself in the past suddenly became lively, first the king of Han disliked his palace and was dissatisfied, it was the most humble palace in the past dynasties, and a year ago he began to recruit skilled craftsmen to build the palace in Le'an Prefecture!" ”

After Yongle, the power of the vassal king was greatly reduced, but the vassal king had a lot of money and was very well treated. The rice alone is 50,000 stones, which is 50,000 times that of the minister. In addition, there are expenses for canonization, palace, marriage, funeral, etc., and are given to miscellaneous servants such as cooks, Sailang, and shoppers. It can be said that the silver of the palace is still sufficient, and some princes have no power to participate in politics, so they spend their energy on building and expanding the palace, so the mansion of the Ming prince is generally extremely luxurious.

After all, Zhu Gaoxi has been in the Yanwang Mansion for decades, the Yanwang Mansion is the inherited imperial city of the Yuan Dynasty, the scale and system are higher than the kings in that year, after Zhu Dijing succeeded, he followed Zhu Di to Nanjing, this stay was several years, although he was not the prince at that time, but was favored by Zhu Di, his mansion was more spectacular than the prince at that time, and it was said that the current Han Wangfu in Le'an Prefecture.

When he first arrived in Le'an Prefecture, he was really dissatisfied with this mansion, not to mention the physique, small specifications, not to mention not enough grandeur, at that time he moved the idea of building the palace, but unfortunately, Zhu Di was still there at that time, and he took advantage of Zhu Di's northern tour to build private soldiers, even if he looted, but also used public opinion utensils, which attracted the emperor's vigilance, so that he was somewhat restrained, and the mention of building the palace did not dare to report.

After Zhu Di's death, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi inherited the throne, this imperial brother is much easier to deal with than his father, and the plan to build the palace for many years began to unfold, he first sent people many times to say that the palace of Le'an Prefecture was dilapidated, and then, crying bitterly and begging, the emperor saw that his younger brother was really pitiful, so he agreed to his request to build the palace.

With the permission of the imperial court, the king of Han began to build the mansion of the king of Han with great fanfare.

The shopkeeper continued: "But there are few people in Le'an Prefecture, there are not many skilled craftsmen, the construction of the Han Wangfu can not be delayed, and I don't know who gave the Han King an idea, let the local officials in Shandong start to recruit skilled craftsmen in their respective counties and counties, some officials in order to please the Han King, simply found a lot of craftsmen from the capital to help the Han King build the palace, no, just the craftsmen who built the palace are almost thousands, and suddenly the small Le'an Prefecture is lively. ”

Zhu Zhanji frowned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that he was speechless, the shopkeeper thought for a while and continued: "After more than a year of construction, today's Han Wangfu is built on a grand scale, comparable to the imperial palace, and finally satisfies the Han Wang. ”

Zhu Zhanji listened silently, and only then did he say coldly: "Where are those craftsmen now?" ”

The shopkeeper said a little proudly: "This is what I want to sue Sù Gongzi, the Han Wangfu has been repaired, and those skilled craftsmen can't stay in Le'an Prefecture, so the Han King asked their respective officials to send road guides to these craftsmen, as long as they go out of the city, they don't need to check!" ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and wanted to ask something, but he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of others and causing trouble.

Xu Mian was thinking about how to get three roads from where to get out of the road for a while, so that he could get out safely.

The three of them were thinking about it, and suddenly the old man who heard the song said, "The three of you are going out of the city?" ”

Zhu Zhanji looked at the old man, and he didn't know whether he should or shouldn't, but listening to the old man's tone, he seemed to have some way, nodded and said: "Dissatisfied old man, I will go to the capital for something important, but I didn't expect this city to be searched so strictly!" ”

The old man looked at Zhu Zhanji, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Thank you for the help of the three just now, I don't think the three are bad people, since you have to wait for the important thing is that you need to go out of the city, there are three of them on this road?" It can solve the urgent needs of the three of them! ”

Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed and said, "Uncle, you-do you really have a way?" ”

The old man nodded and said: "Don't hide it from the son, the old man is a person from the capital, and his ancestors are shift craftsmen in the imperial court. “

Note: Another story of the road is derived from the Zhenguan period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Prime Minister Wei Zhengmeng cut the old dragon of the Jing River, Tang Taizong Li Shimin was implicated and was summoned to the underworld by the king of Yama, when the king of Yama asked about the situation, he knew that Li Shimin was a virtuous monarch, he not only wrote Tao Wuluo, but also stabilized the country, creating a prosperous situation in the Tang Dynasty, that is, "the rule of Zhenguan". So it was decided to let Li Shimin return to Yang. Before leaving, the Yin Tianzi entrusted the Yang Tianzi to bring the ghost country passport "Lu Yin" back to the yang world and issue it to the good ministers and good people, so that they could use this road to enter the capital of the ghost country - Xudu after their death, so that they could be free from the bullying and punishment of the ghosts of hell. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yin has been handed down like a holy relic, and has never changed. Therefore, this kind of guidance can only be bought by good people, and cannot be bought by evil people. In the past, people who came to Yudu to travel had to buy a road for the elderly at home to guide back to show their filial piety. Therefore, in the past, the road guide in the city of Xudu was very popular, and many people made a living by selling road guides, which made the ghost town of Xudu famous.

The Ming Dynasty was the Lijia system or Baojia system, "with one hundred and ten households as a mile, ten households with more grain are long, and the remaining 100 households are ten Jia." Ten people. There is one person in the annual service, and one person is the first person". The law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that "farmers do not go out of a mile, go in and out of the morning, and know each other's ways of work and rest". Later, if a person is 100 miles away from his or her place of residence, the local government department will issue an official document such as a letter of introduction or a pass, which is called a "road guide". "Lu Yin" is actually proof of leaving home.
