According to the "History of Xiang Yu Benji Biography", Xiang Yu said: "Rich and noble do not return to their hometown, such as the night of clothing." Therefore, Xiang Yu, who "made a trace", wants to return to Jiangdong, return to his hometown, and show his success in front of his father and fellow countrymen. There are many people with this mentality from ancient times to the present, and Zhang Juzheng, the famous prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, when he returned to his hometown, he went out of the ordinary and built a luxurious palanquin for those who did not see the ancients before and did not see the comers.
Zhang Juzheng's large palanquin, the area is equivalent to a room, divided into two parts, the reception room and the bedroom, there is a bathroom (convenient for hemorrhoid cleaning), you can work on the palanquin, there are two children to serve. There were 32 caravans, and what stood out was a team of bird wrenches, sent by the chief soldier Qi Jiguang, and the bird wrenches were fashionable firearms on that day.
Zhang Juzheng's father died of illness, and he sat in this 32-person sedan and traveled a thousand kilometers from Beijing to his hometown in Hubei Province to Dingyou.
This luxury car was given to him by Xiao Jing of Zhendingfu in Hebei Province, and this ultra-luxurious palanquin far exceeded the official "four-person palanquin" regulations.
Zhang Juzheng was traveling from Beijing to Jiangling, more than a thousand miles of road, "five steps and one well, to clear the road dust, ten steps and one lu, to prepare for the tea stove", where the luxury caravan went, the road should be widened, the bridge should be strengthened, and the laborers should move the crowd and disturb the officials and people.
What is astonishing is that Zhang Ju is talking about honest government along the way, and incidentally punishes local officials who have paid bribes to their subordinates. This is typical of "only the officials set fire to the house, and the people are not allowed to light the lamp."
Zhu Yuanzhang openly declared war on corruption. He was worried that the pampering of the car would lead to corruption in the administration of officials, so soon after the founding of the country, it was stipulated that only women and the elderly and sick were allowed to ride in the car. Civilian officials of three or more pins are allowed to ride in palanquins carried by four people, and yu are all on horseback; Xunqi and military attachés are not allowed to take the sedan regardless of whether they are old or young; and those who take the sedan in violation of the law and those who use eight people to carry the sedan without authorization are subject to severe punishment. This set of regulations was effectively enforced in the early Ming Dynasty, and this was not the case after Zhu Yuanzhang's death.
Zhang Juzheng gave a great irony to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations in broad daylight, which was also the inevitable law of the rise and fall of dynasties.
Zhang Juzheng, who acted arbitrarily, this trip of "pulling the wind" ruined all his official voices. After Zhang Juzheng's death, the Wanli Emperor quickly liquidated him, raided his home, and affected his family, and did not restore his reputation until the second year of the Apocalypse.
