It was the first sunny day after the snow, but the sun did not bring warmth, and the cold was like a knife blade through the bones. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On this smooth official road, a huge flag guard of honor was not far from the town of Xuanfu, Li Banghua, who closed his eyes and recuperated, slowly opened his eyes, and saw the stomping of the outer attachés, shrinking their necks, facing the cold wind, complaining non-stop, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

The situation in the court was still vivid, and the saint did not listen to the advice, but sent himself as the imperial history of the left capital to Xuanfu Town, how could there be no complaints at that time?

But then he was shocked, as a courtier, the thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, how can he have a grudge and complain about You's king? This is done by a minister!

Therefore, Li Banghua obeyed the holy will and resolutely came to this military town.

He didn't know what was waiting for him, but he had already put life and death aside, and if he died, why should he be afraid?

Along the way, Li Banghua's heart calmed down, and he often encouraged himself with Yu Qian's poems: "Thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns as if you are idle." Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. ”

In any case, he will not fall into the prime minister's true character.

Along the way, of course, he will not forget to carefully observe the local affairs in Xuanfu Town, leaving him with complex feelings.

There is a good feeling, and there is no bad feeling.

According to the rules, when an official crosses the border, he will inevitably have reception fees and ceremonial fees, and according to his status, it is generally about 1,000 taels.

Li Banghua also thought that this was a bad habit, and after coming out of Beijing, he went to Changping all the way, although all the officials and generals of Juyongguan sent ceremonial gold. He also always politely refused, and asked the officials to entertain the banquet mainly in simplicity, and the general reception fee was only a dozen taels of silver.

Of course, he is still satisfied with the "respect" of the officials and generals, and he also sets off his "out of the mud without staining" from the other side, but after entering Xuanfu Town......

As the minister of the Qincha and the deputy protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate in the future, Li Banghua naturally has a proud identity, and he is still the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Respected. The garden is full of peaches and plums, and the officials and generals you usually meet all admire three points.

Those who follow this trip are not followers. It's family. There were also some Jinyi Guard lieutenants accompanying him. But when it came to the huge stone tablet with the words "Huailong Road East Road, Xuanfu Town, Huangming", a checkpoint blocked the intersection, and a member of the customs was in charge. I actually have to check their documents!

You must know that in this huge line of flags and ceremonies, there are dense flags such as "Cishang Fang Sword", "Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate", and "Dongge University Scholar".

The vanguard team also took the lead to inform the government in front of them of the arrival of their group.

Wang Dou and the others didn't greet him at the town boundary, and they had to check ...... Documents?

Although the road guard system in Xuanfu Town is also divided into two types depending on the situation, one is to stay in the shelter for a few days, check whether there is an epidemic, and conduct random investigations, which is aimed at civilians, especially homeless.

The other is to check the registration documents, observe and then release, which is aimed at officials and generals.

After all, Xuanfu Town is also on the main road, and every day there is an endless stream of officials from Jingshi to Datong Town, or Shanxi Town, Datong Town, etc., and if they are also imprisoned in the shelter, it will surely cause an uproar.

Moreover, some officials have important things to do, so how can they stay at the checkpoint for a few days before leaving?

Therefore, after registering the documents, each person is given a pass to let go, with a time limit of days, and how many days they can stay in the town.

This thing is also very important, without this thing, it is impossible to live in a hotel in the town, and no innkeeper dares to take in such a person, and the punishment is just to wait for leisure, and if it is serious, he will be caught in the mine to serve hard labor.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has a very strict control over identity, civilians have household stickers, travel guides, soldiers have military status, and officials have sue themselves, which can identify each person's identity to the greatest extent.

Of course, this is just the early days, and now that the world is full of displaced people, who still goes to check the road to guide the post? Not to mention the investigation of officials, there have even been impostor officials in history.

Wang Dou strictly implemented this policy, of course, it caused a great reaction, and Xuanfu Town was good, and complained a few words in private, praising Xuanfu Town for being so tightly guarded, it was the first in the Ming Dynasty, no wonder all parties could not sneak in Xuanfu Town.

Those who are unfriendly with Wang Dou, envious and jealous, can't help but scold this move is really insulting to Sven, especially detrimental to the official authority and system, and some people especially secretly scold this move as if it was a rebellion! But scolding and scolding, they can't help it, unless they make a detour to Xuanfu Town, they have to register obediently, and after a long time, they are used to it.

But for Li Banghua and others, this move can be described as a great insult! They were sent to proclaim the decree by the order of the Holy Lord, but when they arrived at the local border towns, they had to be registered one by one? It's really unbearable!

In the hundreds of years of the Ming Dynasty, even thousands of years, I have never heard of the ministers of the Qin Mission to be registered.

Li Banghua thought even more: "This is a country within a country, Wang Dou has no one in his eyes, and he is bold and reckless to the extreme!" Is this still the land of the Ming Dynasty? Did Wang Dou take the saint in his eyes? ”

The entourage with his family was indignant, and they stepped forward and scolded: "Presumptuous, this is Lord Li of the Imperial Palace, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is even more ...... to announce the decree."

But everyone at the checkpoint just looked at them silently, and the leading officer said lightly: "The general has personally registered when he enters and leaves Xuanfu Town, and you are more noble than the general?" ”

The attachés were even more angry when they heard this, and they screamed angrily: "It's really presumptuous, Lord Li is a messenger, do you want to take the court in your eyes?" Do you put the minister in your eyes? ”

The officer sneered: "Have you heard about the Xiliu Camp?" The Son of Heaven is not allowed to enter without an order. ”

Accompanied by a eunuch, he led a few brocade guards and little eunuchs to step forward, according to them, although the factory guards are not as majestic as before, but the tiger is especially there, and they can still stop children crying at night, and the small schools at these levels will definitely not dare to embarrass them.

Unexpectedly, the officer who managed the checkpoint looked cold, and he shouted: "Wait for the eunuchs, do you want to make trouble?" According to the laws of the Xuanfu, those who dare to impact the checkpoint will be punished! ”

As soon as he waved his hand, even a group of Jingbian troops came up, and the mouth of the black hole was just facing them, and the eunuch and a few brocade-clothed guards were not possessed on the spot, and they all hurriedly retreated. And many days have passed, and the eunuch still shuddered with fright when he remembered the situation at that time, and kept breaking out in a cold sweat.

In the end, Li Banghua still decided to forbear, so as not to be able to enter Xuanfu Town, he registered on the checkpoint and got a pass.

"Li Banghua, the word Meng Dark, born in May of the second year of Wanli, a native of Panguli, Jishui County, Jiangxi, is six feet five inches tall, with a square face and a broad forehead, a slightly red complexion, and a long beard...... Note: There is a spot on the right cheek. Current position: Daming Imperial Palace, Zuodu Imperial History, Meaning: Business Trip. Number of attachés......"

"With this pass, you can pass and stay in Xuanfu Town, and it is valid for one month. Note: This card must be carried with you and must not be lost. If it is lost, it must be reissued within three days, and the cost of production will be charged one copper yuan, or five food stamps ......"

Looking at this document, Li Banghua didn't know what it was like in his heart, and everyone around him was crying with a sad face.

The accompanying eunuch looked at the documents in his hand, then at Li Banghua's, and at the Jinyi guards who accompanied them, all of them looked at each other, and looked at each other, each document was the same, the high-ranking officials were like this, and the ordinary soldiers were like this, and they all thought: "What is the humility of this move?" Where does the system exist? ”

In the end, they passed the checkpoint, but all of them were already weak, the gongs and drums were beaten in a mess, and the flags were held crookedly.

They still walk on their own, stopping from time to time to watch, or talking and pointing, wanting them to kneel down to greet them, or afraid to prostrate and just dream.

There are also children led by their parents, screaming and laughing, running around in the flag line, making the soldiers holding the flag feel like monkeys.

Some people subconsciously look at it, they are holding a flag, not a dragon head, not a dragon dance during the Lantern Festival, these ignorant children, what are they doing?

Also, after passing the checkpoint, the quality of this official road is very good, and there is an endless stream of cars and horses, which is very prosperous, and before the Beijing division came, it was depressed everywhere, and the official road was full of potholes, forming a sharp contrast.

It's just that what's going on with this carriage and horses, left and right, each going one way, and their honor guard walking in the middle of the official road, which hinders the passage of the carriage and horses, causing chaos?

When the Qin mission came, the imaginary loess paved the road, the clean water splashed the street, the people knelt down, and even three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry treatment, all the way over, leaving only an unceremonious scolding.

"Where did the soil buns come from, I don't even know how to obey the traffic laws......"

Hearing this, Li Banghua's face turned pale.

……

What made the group angry was not only that, the post station in Xuanfu Town was very complete, but it was just a rest along the way, and any expenses had to be paid out of their own pockets, and the post station no longer provided free food and drink.

The post officials are also vibrant, the general ordered, now the Xuanfu Town Post Station, only for the purpose of flying to report to the Tang Horse, to deliver official documents, the function of delivering the guest is gone, anyone and so on, to eat and sleep at the post station, need to pay out of their own pockets, and the minister is no exception.

In the face of everyone's questioning, they were confident: "Even the Marquis of Yongning does this, and pays for it himself, and your status is more noble than his old man?" ”

Some people even said coldly: "At the beginning of the dynasty, the post station was unobstructed, but the guests were scarce, but the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, and what cats and dogs ran in to eat and drink...... Fortunately, with Hou Ye, I have a job again, is it easy for me to come to this step in Xuanfu Town, Hou Ye leads by example, why can't you wait? Do you still want to eat and drink for nothing, let me wait until I close the door and close down again, and then come out with a few more Li Zicheng? ”

The gossip made Li Banghua so angry that his nose was crooked when he heard it.

A cadre of attachés, also crying and sad faces, originally thought that with the Qin sent out, it was a trip to the United States, I didn't think that the oil and water were not caught, eating and sleeping at the post station, they had to pay out of their own pockets, it was really a big hemorrhage, a big loss.
