The holy decree for the abolition of the post station was issued four days ago, and the eunuch surnamed Wu who delivered the decree at that time deliberately walked around the door in order to win the work of announcing the holy decree of good things this time, and spent thirty taels of his own hands and feet.
This thing has to be done like this, as long as you win this good errand, not only can you take the opportunity to come out to breathe, but the most important second grace can definitely be exchanged for a large sum of silver, which is a business that makes people blush and make sure you don't lose money.
So he rushed out of the Forbidden City, but standing outside the noon gate, he was as stunned as Lu Hanqiang, and he forgot to ask a key thing, that is, where is the location of the national general post station in Beijing, which is a big problem.
As a result, the eunuch Wu who pinched his nose, in order to find the hall of the general office of the post stations in various places, but he ran to the wrong place, and came out early in the morning.
When he entered the hall, he didn't follow the procedures to engage in those red tapes, and directly called the official to accept the order.
Shangguan didn't see it, but it was a gray-haired old man, wearing shabby short-cut clothes, and asked in a daze: "Who are you, what kind of paper, we don't want this thing." ” Eunuch Wu was very angry at that time, and Baba's liver was on fire for a day, but when he met such a master, he was angry at that time, and yelled at the old man: "Who am I, I am Gonggong Wu from the palace, I am here to preach the will of the saint, you don't want to get it, I won't talk to you bastard, hurry up and call your Shangguan out." ” At that time, the old man spread his hands and said to the eunuch indifferently: "Lord Shaoqing has not shown up for many years, if the angel can wait, then I will find it for you."
"Look at the angel with a black face, the old man doesn't have the sincerity and fear of seeing an angel at all.
"How many years have you not come to work, what is this Shaoqing doing, if you can't find it for a while and a half, it will be dark, then our family can't go back to the palace, are you responsible" As soon as he heard this, this Wu Gonggong's head became big, and he yelled at this old man at that time.
But it's useless to shout, this holy decree must still be transmitted, look left and right: "Then there are no other Shangguan who are in charge, anyone can do it."
Now he can see that he is losing money this time, but he can't think about it so much, just give the holy decree to whomever he wants, if he can't give the holy decree again, it is not a matter of losing money, it is a matter of small lives.
The old man was not in a hurry, but said with an indifferent face: "I'm a bachelor anyway, I inherited the bullshit name of the bullshit temple handed down from my ancestors, but I am here to send a rush to the military department, and by the way, I will give this fellow official a house, and there is also a place to live, and the rest is a few grooms. ” At that time, this Wu eunuch almost had a crooked nose, Shaoqing hadn't seen him for a few years, and this old man was dead and young, especially looking at this old man's tattered clothes and skinny appearance, it means that there is no oil and water here, and he wants to make a nameless fire, but look at this old man's indifferent appearance, it is impossible to take an old bachelor to talk about things, and he will pass on the decree by himself, as long as someone takes it, he will complete the task by himself, but it is just bad luck, he took out his own body and robbed the errand of this decree, I thought I could make double the profit, Now it seems to be a wishful thinking.
So he said impatiently to the old man: "Okay, okay, you don't need any incense decorations, I can see that you don't have that thing, I won't say that you will be disrespectful to the officials and the people of Long live, quickly accept the holy decree, and then I will go back to hand over the errand, let's take the two of us." ” The old square man just arched his hand and said, "Then please ask the angel to proclaim the decree."
Gonggong Wu didn't unfold the holy decree to read it, and directly stuffed the holy decree into the old man's hand and said: "You can read the content of the holy decree yourself, and our family is too lazy to talk to you anymore, but it is just to tell you a good news and a bad news."
The bad news is that today Banzai agreed to the suggestion of the ministers, completely cut the post stations of the whole country, and released you all to the people. ” Just this sentence made the old square head with a blank expression jump up as if he had been stepped on his tail: "What is the decision of the post station, is this really the holy decree of the long live lord" took out the holy decree that had just been stuffed into himself from his arms, trembling and unfolding, opening his dizzy old eyes, trying to look at the text on it, ten lines at a glance, leaving aside the virtual text of the flowery Penang Si, and directly went to the topic, which clearly read: "Judge the world post station, Qin this."
A few big characters, the vermilion jade seal made the old man unconscious of a trance, the backbone of the whole body seemed to be discounted, the strength of the whole body seemed to disappear in an instant, and he wiped his eyes hard with his dirty sleeves, for fear that he would read the wrong content, but he was not mistaken, the edict was indeed clearly written, there was not a word wrong, as a small inherited his father's business, and did this Tongguan a temple, which can be seen clearly.
At that time, there was a deep sense of loss and confusion in my heart, as if the sky was falling.
The post station is the son inherits the father's business, the same as other industries in the Ming Dynasty, since they have entered this hometown, this life can no longer be changed, they grew up here, live here, this is their natural day, of course.
And at this time, a holy decree completely shattered their helpless heaven and earth, which means that they no longer have anything to rely on, how not to make him panic.
In fact, it is no longer necessary to rely on it, because the post station has long become the object of exploitation by officials, and it has already become the lowest level of suffering in the Ming Dynasty.
But the sense of dependence inherited from hundreds of thousands of ancestors of the Ming Dynasty makes them regard this post station as a home, a sky, and a place.
At this moment, the sky fell, the ground sank, and the home was gone.
Why don't you let this old man lose his soul With a pale face, trembling lips to face the face of the angel who had been blurred, the old man asked in a trembling voice: "Angel, is it really the emperor who is so ruthless to let the hundreds of thousands of post guards of the whole Ming Dynasty and the nearly one million small families attached to them, is the family ruined" At this time, he fell to his knees suddenly, not for the infinite power of heaven, but for the loss of the pillar of the spirit, and cried to the sky, "Oh God, this fluttering holy decree has cut off the livelihood of millions of people, and the roots of millions of people, How can we live with millions of soldiers?"
The eunuch saw the old man who was crying and grabbing the ground, he really didn't expect things to be like this, from one person you can see the living conditions of a person, after all, this old square leader is still in the headquarters of the capital, and his livelihood should be far higher than those post guards at the bottom, and now even he is like this, so those people at the bottom are even more miserable t1706231537:
