The officials of Dali Temple and Wei Bao thought it was funny when they saw Hu Damin suddenly run away, but no one was willing to laugh out loud.

Didn't Hu Damin come out first to find trouble with the other party? Why did you start running before you got into a fight?

It's too embarrassing, isn't it?

All the people in Dali Temple felt that they had lost face.

Wei Bao didn't laugh out loud because of his demeanor, and there was nothing to laugh about.

The officials of Dali Temple, whether they were from the Donglin Party or the Eunuch Party, did not laugh out loud because of their colleagues.

No matter what, Wei Bao is also an outsider, and Hu Damin is a person from their Dali Temple.

Although Hu Damin asked Wei Bao what he was doing in Dali Temple, they all felt that they were a bit nosy with rats, but after all, Hu Damin was from Dali Temple.

Moreover, they all knew why Hu Damin was so hostile to Wei Bao.

Naturally, no one in the Yamen of Dali Temple likes to run outside to be an official, if someone is promoted to Zuo Sicheng, it is best to be promoted to an official within Dali Temple.

"What are you running? Aren't you going to ask me what I'm doing in Dali Temple? Come here, I'll tell you, come here. Wei Bao stood there and shouted.

Hu Damin rushed directly into the official hall of Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of Dali Temple, "Lord Zhou, then Wei Bao rushed to our Dali Temple to spread wild!" ”

Zhou Yingqiu was taken aback, he has not been worried about this Wei Bao's affairs in the past few days, he is also a senior official of the eunuch party, and he has discussed it with Luan Ruping, the minister of the eunuch party of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and no one can figure out who Wei Bao has won the power of, as if he is a person who suddenly fell from the sky.

They knew Wei Bao's resume, knew that Wei Bao was from the countryside of Liaoxi, and relied on his own business, and later caught up with Dongli Niangniang's relationship and Sun Chengzong's relationship, and that's it.

Dongli Niangniang and Sun Chengzong, whether in front of the eunuch party or in front of the Donglin party, are nothing to these executives.

Although Sun Chengzong is a cabinet minister and an emperor, he is very much valued by Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, but everyone knows that Sun Chengzong actually has no power.

Since Wei Bao is a disciple of Sun Chengzong, Wei Bao is definitely not so arrogant because of his relationship with Sun Chengzong.

Therefore, Wei Bao is a very mysterious person in the eyes of everyone.

A mysterious person seems to have some kind of mysterious power, so that people don't dare to touch Wei Bao casually until they find out the true details of Wei Bao.

What's more, Wei Bao is so fierce, Wei Bao doesn't move, others ask God to worship Buddha, and who will move Wei Bao first if he has nothing to do?

"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Yingqiu frowned and asked unhappily.

"Wei Bao came to our Dali Temple, I asked him what was the matter, he said that he was about to become the official of Dali Temple, come to us in advance to see. Isn't this nonsense? When did our Dali Temple receive news that he was a dignitary of the Seven Grades of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who came to Dali Temple to be an official? Why is he? Hu Damin replied angrily.

"Just for that?" Zhou Yingqiu said unhappily: "I said that you are uncomfortable idle?" ”

"Lord Zhou, this is not a trivial matter, if everyone says that they will come to our Dali Temple on an errand for a while, they can come in and look everywhere, what has become of our Dali Temple Yamen? Has it become a market? Hu Damin explained.

"Anything else? Let's go out if it's okay, there's still a lot going on in the headquarters. Zhou Yingqiu coldly ordered the eviction of customers.

Hu Damin came to move the rescuers, but he didn't expect Zhou Yingqiu to be like this? "Lord Zhou, Wei Bao is beating the face of everyone in our Dali Temple, and it is even more so that your Lord Zhou is the most faceless, you can go out and get rid of Wei Bao now, right?"

Zhou Yingqiu hated this Hu Damin very much, and secretly thought that Wei Bao had beaten me in the palace that day, and Wei Bao dared to beat people in the palace, and he also beat so many people above the third grade, not to mention beating people in the Yamen of Dali Temple? What did you let the old man go out for, go out and be beaten by Wei Bao? Or run as desperately as you do? The old man is old, what does he say when he runs?

"Get out!" Zhou continued to repeat impatiently.

Hu Damin's face turned red, and seeing that Lord Zhou seemed to be angry, he reluctantly agreed and withdrew from the official hall of Dali Siqing.

Who knew that as soon as Hu Damin came out, he saw Wei Bao, and he was so frightened that he retreated to Zhou Yingqiu's official hall again, "You, what do you want to do?" Don't come nonsense, this is the Yamen of Dali Temple! It's not all of you! ”

Wei Bao sat on the stone pier next to the stone table in the courtyard of Dali Temple, and said with a smile: "I said Hu Damin, why are you so afraid?" What do you want me to do? ”

The officials of Dali Temple, who secretly observed the situation, were speechless, and they all felt very faceless, since this Hu Damin first looked for trouble from others, but they greeted him, and he was so cowardly, he simply lost the face of the entire Dali Temple!

"Do whatever you like! There is no serious matter, Dali Temple does not allow outsiders to enter and exit at will! Hu Damin replied weakly.

"Who told you I wasn't serious? What's the matter with me, it's your turn to ask? Wei Bao laughed.

Hu Damin knew that he couldn't say anything about Wei Bao, so he shouted in the direction of the gate: "Bad! Bad! ”

Du Shanling, the poor head of Dali Temple, has also been observing the development of things, he has naturally seen Wei Bao's power, he has two hits, and there are dozens of brothers under him, naturally he is not afraid of Wei Bao beating him, but Wei Bao is an official, and even the first and second grade members dare to say that they will do it, and he can never provoke a person like Wei Bao with a small difference.

Afraid of something, hearing Hu Damin's call, Du Shanling almost died of anger, but he didn't dare to pretend not to hear, so he had to respond: "What do you want Master Hu to order!?" ”

Hu Damin hid in Zhou Yingqiu's official hall and said loudly: "Come here!" ”

Du Shanling had to trot over, "Master Hu! ”

"You, how did you do this? An outsider has entered our Dali Temple, are you blind, can't you see? Hu Damin found the arrogance of Dali Temple in front of Du Shanling.

Du Shanling was secretly angry and secretly scolded me for what's the matter? Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are interconnected, don't I let the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate come over? The people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple often visit each other, do they seal the courtyard gate?

But Du Shanling didn't say a word, and stood with a black face.

Wei Bao didn't speak, he looked at Hu Damin like a play, if Hu Damin dared to ask Du Shanling to get rid of him, he would naturally have a way.

Hu Damin wanted to ask Du Shanling to get rid of Wei Bao, but after all, he didn't have the courage, he came out of Zhou Yingqiu's official hall, and said as he walked: "You see, if someone from other yamen comes to our Dali Temple, you have to send someone to follow!" Hu Damin spoke, and walked quickly to his official hall, in front of Du Shanling, he was a lot more courageous, otherwise he wouldn't even have the courage to go out of Zhou Yingqiu's official hall.

When he arrived at the door of his official hall, Hu Damin jumped in one step, and then quickly closed the door of the official hall, as if he was afraid that Wei Bao would rush over and beat him.

Hu Damin's movements were a little funny, and many people who watched the excitement couldn't help it anymore and laughed softly.

Du Shanling glanced at Wei Bao in embarrassment, he was not very serious, very hostile, nor very inferior, very flattering, and his performance was still relatively measured.

Du Shanling's appearance gave Wei Bao a little favor.

Wei Bao said softly: "Your name is Du Shanling, is the head of Dali Temple?" ”

Du Shanling was a little strange, why did this young adult know about such a small person? But he replied, "Yes, my lord." ”

"That's right, I'm here for you, come and sit down." Wei Bao was still sitting at the stone table.

Looking for me? Du Shanling looked at Wei Bao suspiciously, and did not move in place.

"Come here." Wei Bao said coldly.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Wei Bao uses the original errand of the Dali Temple Yamen or not, if he obtains the position of the left temple of Dali Temple, his authority can allow him to replace the original errand of Dali Temple within one day.

But if they are all replaced, it will always cause a certain amount of criticism, and transforming the original person into his own person is the ability and the best.

Officialdom is probably like this, the new official takes office three fires, generally changes the official, at the beginning of the appointment will be the people under the understanding of the people, and then replace all the thorns, join their own people, and then some old people who can be transformed can be brought to their own side.

In this way, the exchange transfusion work is completed.

Du Shanling didn't dare to disobey Wei Bao, and walked over, but refused to sit: "In front of adults, there is no seat for us." ”

Wei Bao was not reluctant, and asked directly: "I am about to go to Dali Temple to serve as the Zuo Temple, how are you?" Will you obey me? ”

Du Shanling instinctively said: "If the adult is appointed as the Zuo Si Cheng of Dali Temple, our servants will naturally obey the control of the adult, how dare we disobey?" ”

"I mean, will you be my man?" Wei Bao said more directly.

Du Shanling didn't know what Wei Bao was going to do, he was a little scared, he had seen it directly, it was really rare to see such a direct one, "I don't really understand what adults mean." ”

"Be my person, that is, no matter what the people of Donglin or Gonggong Wei tell you to do, you can't pay attention to it, only recognize me Wei Bao alone, even if someone older than me orders you to do things, you can only listen to me." Wei Bao said: "Just like the current officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you will take the time to ask the old grandson, and you will understand." ’

Du Shanling has already understood, and secretly wonders if this is not for me to be your house slave? No matter how low-level our errand is, we also eat the court's salary, since we are the errand of Dali Temple, the official of Dali Temple, we all have to listen, how can we listen to you alone? And we don't dare to disobey people who are bigger than you.

Du Shanling didn't know how to answer Wei Bao.

Wei Bao had already stood up, "Think about it yourself, and give me an answer before I disperse today." ”

In ancient times, the yamen was called "Yingmao" when it went to work, and it was called "scattered value" or "scattered ya" when it got off work. For example, Ming Shen Zhou's poem "Twilight Chengtian Xi Jingfang and Old Monk Night Drinking": The drizzle is like sand, and the government in the city has dispersed.

It can also be called retreating, seeing that Bai Juyi retreats and returns to the night, he worships the table and invades the morning; There are also called "release ya", such as the "Jian Gu Collection", Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once had a special warning for state and county officials: do not put the yaya in the yellow silk quilt.

Su Dongpo's poem "Into the Gorge": Put the yaming evening drums, and leave guests to recommend the orange.

Du Shanling did not reply.

Wei Bao didn't wait and walked straight away.

Wei Bao has his own set of methods for how to get along with people with low status, that is, to go his own way and let the people below guess.

Before the rebirth crossing, Wei Bao was a small supervisor in modern times, and he managed several people, but he hadn't practiced it yet.

But after the rebirth crossing, the number of Wei Baoguan is increasing, and he already has a certain foundation for how to make the emperor, so after he joined the office, there is no place for the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty to be uncomfortable, and it can be said that it is seamless.

After Wei Bao left, a group of people from Dali Temple came over one after another, and they all came to ask what Wei Bao said to Du Shanling just now?

Hu Damin, who had been peeking through the crack in the door, suddenly opened the door of his official hall and rushed over to ask, "What did Wei Bao say to you just now?" ”

"Didn't say anything? Didn't say anything. Du Shanling said confusedly. I don't know what's going on today, I'm at the bottom of the poor, you adults who don't usually look at me with your eyes, what are you doing when you come to talk to me?

"Obviously, Wei Bao has spoken to you! Say it! What was said? Hu Damin persecuted.

"I really didn't say anything." Du Shanling is not good at words, and he is about to go crazy when he is forced by Hu Damin.

"What did Wei Bao say? If you don't say it, I'll kick you out of Dali Temple now, do you want to eat inside and out? Hu Damin said angrily: "An immature dog!" ”

Although the officials of Dali Temple feel that Hu Damin has passed, but the officials are crushed to death, not to mention that Du Shanling is just a bad head, I don't know how many levels worse than Hu Damin, Hu Damin scolded Du Shanling can really scold how much he wants, no one will say anything about this matter.

In fact, Hu Damin to Wei Bao just now, Hu Damin is the fifth grade, Wei Bao is only the seventh grade, according to the officialdom ethics, Hu Damin can scold Wei Bao as much as he wants, but Wei Bao's momentum is even better, and Hu Damin is scared half to death.

Du Shanling's face was blackened by Hu Damin's anger, and he straightened his neck and said, "I really didn't say anything, let me say anything?" ”

Everyone obviously saw Wei Bao talking to Du Shanling, although it was not for a long time, he must have said something, and no one believed Du Shanling's words.

Du Shanling is also difficult to speak, he feels that if he says what Wei Bao wants to make him his person, I am afraid that no one will believe it, and it will not be good for him, which will offend Wei Bao and the officials of Dali Temple.

But if you don't say it, it's like now.

It's a pity that it's easy to find an excuse to fool the past, for example, Wei Bao just asked himself what his name was, he has been in Dali Temple for a few years, just a few words of nonsense, but Du Shanling doesn't have such a quick wit.

The more Du Shanling didn't say anything, the more everyone began to threaten Du Shanling like Hu Damin.

The officials originally looked down on people, and at this time, there were many people forcing one person, saying that it was coercion, but in fact, they were insulting one after another.

In front of Wei Bao, one by one, like a shrunken turtle, no one was polite to Du Shanling's small mistake.

Du Shanling stood in place, and the servants of Dali Temple stood by the gate not far away, everyone was very angry, weren't the servants human? Why humiliate people like this?

The bottom belongs to the bottom, and the people at the bottom are used to being oppressed, and may have no self-esteem.

But that doesn't mean they don't have anger!

The Dali Temple scolded so badly that it attracted the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate next to it, and the people from the Six Departments Corridor also came to see the excitement, and they didn't know what was going on.

The officials are okay, after figuring out what is going on, they all know that these officials of Dali Temple did not dare to attack Wei Bao, and they all lost their temper in a small bad way.

And the officers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are empathetic, scolding the poor head of Dali Temple, they are also very angry, and they feel that they are also scolding them and insulting them!

Wei Bao heard the movement in his own official hall in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, turned back, and it took a long time to figure out what was going on, secretly funny.

Wei Bao secretly thinks that you officials of Dali Temple are too cowardly, right? Don't you dare to do anything to me, what are you doing to bully a security captain together?

Whether it is the errand of the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the errand of Dali Temple, compared with Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it must be worse in terms of functional authority, and it cannot be regarded as an army sequence, that is, the security team plus the jailer level.

"I just asked him how many people are in Dali Temple? Is there a hundred people, he can't answer, that's all, you just for this little thing, so many people around the people to scold people? Isn't the officer human? Wei Baolang spoke for Du Shanling.

So it's just such a small thing?

Reasonable.

At least all the officials of Dali Temple feel that it is very reasonable, because Wei Bao has talked to Du Shanling in total, but for a few breaths, that is, in an instant, besides, Wei Bao is an official, and Du Shanling is not an official, and the two people have a huge difference in status and status, and they don't know each other, what is there to say?

Du Shanling glanced at Wei Bao gratefully, and thanked Wei Bao for relieving him.

All the servants of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple looked at Wei Bao with similar eyes, and there was really no one who spoke for the people below like this.

"Then let's ask for a long time, why don't you say what?" Hu Damin glanced at Du Shanling in disgust. Hu Damin is not afraid of Wei Bao when there are many people, especially when everyone gathers together.

"What do you want him to say?" Wei Bao glared at Hu Damin: "You are scared like a grandson in front of me, what are you angry at other people's errands?" ”

Hu Damin was glared at by Wei Bao, his heart became empty, and he didn't dare to fight back when he was scolded by Wei Bao, but took two steps back, for fear that Wei Bao would beat him, so he didn't dare to speak.

"It's all gone! You're all in a hurry, you all have nothing to do? The court gave you a fortune, did it all let you enjoy the blessings in the yamen, and it was nonsense? Wei Bao said officially. It's not exactly an official tone, Wei Bao is not used to being an official with a high income and nothing to do all day long.

As far as Wei Bao's current understanding goes, ninety percent of the people in officialdom are dumb officials, mediocre officials, and corrupt officials.

The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple were actually very obedient, and as Wei Bao's words landed, they immediately dispersed.

This made Zhou Yingqiu, Luan Ruping, Dali Temple, and the eunuch members of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were hiding in the dark to observe very strange.

In order to achieve this prestige, it is difficult to be listened to in the yamen.

Don't say that those with high ranks are at the same level, or those with low ranks, why should they listen to you?

But Wei Bao is just a seven-grade view of politics, whether it is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate or in Dali Temple, he is at the bottom of the officialdom, but he can teach people to listen to him, which is not easy to do.

At noon, Du Shanling came to find Lao Sun Tou and called Lao Sun Tou to a remote tavern to speak in a low voice.

"Dude." Dushan Ridge Road.

Old Sun Tou nodded, "By the way, what is going on today, why do those people in Dali Temple scold you?" Still scolded so fiercely? ”

"What can it be? Just said a word to me for Master Wei! Du Shanling sighed.

"What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, just said let me find you, ask me how you are doing the Metropolitan Procuratorate now, and then let me make up my mind before I disperse today, and see if I want to be Lord Wei's person in the future, don't listen to anyone's words, I can only listen to him Lord Wei alone." Du Shanling said truthfully.

Old Sun Tou snorted, similar to what Wei Bao said to him, Old Sun Tou had already stated his position anyway, and he would listen to Wei Bao alone in the future, although he was not very sincere, he was coerced by Wei Bao, but he had already expressed his position, and it didn't matter if he expressed his position or not, because the officers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were now actually completely controlled by Wei Bao.

This morning, Lin Wenbiao brought over 50 agents from the General Administration of Statistics of the Heaven and Earth Society, and then got to know all the officers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, drove away all the officers who were introduced, and talked to the hereditary officers one by one, leaving only a dozen people!

These dozen or so men were hereditary servants, and they were all honest people.

What surprised Lao Sun Tou the most was that he drove away more than 30 errand officers at one time, and those errand officers all had a certain background, not only the background of officialdom, but also the relationship between the rivers and lakes, but no one dared to turn his face at the person who shouted at Wei Bao at that time!

Old Sun Tou told Du Shanling truthfully about his own affairs, as well as the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Du Shanling's eyes widened in surprise.

Du Shanling is not a person who is anxious and wise, but he is not stupid, the old grandson said that Du Shanling is stronger than him, he is happy and convinced, Du Shanling not only has a certain skill, he is definitely one of the best masters in the Beijing army, and he is also righteous, and the brothers below listen to him. This is something that Lao Sun Tou can't do.

"How? I've said everything you need to say, so decide for yourself. The old grandson said to Du Shanling, poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his neck, and drank it all.

Du Shanling also drank a glass of wine and said softly: "I think Master Wei is okay, but he didn't go to Dali Temple to take office, how can I talk at this time?" In short, he is an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he still wants to manage our Dali Temple, right? ”

"I guess I want to see what you say, right? It's easy to do. The old grandson thought about it and said.

"Brother, you give me some guidance." Du Shanling hurriedly poured a glass of wine for the old grandson, "Since you have already followed Master Wei, you must have your own ideas." ”

"You think, Lord Wei has not yet been an official in Dali Temple, so he said to you, he must have wanted to prepare in advance. If he doesn't go to Dali Temple on an errand, even if you verbally promise to be his person, but after all, you are also an errand officer of Dali Temple, Master Wei can't be too embarrassed for you, you can't offend the officials of Dali Temple for the sake of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, right? The old grandson analyzed.

Du Shanling asked suspiciously, "Then what does the old brother mean to let me promise Master Wei?" ”

"Well, if Lord Wei can really become the Zuo Si Cheng of Dali Temple, then he is the top boss of your errand service, shouldn't you serve Lord Wei loyally?" The old grandson said.

"But Lord Wei only let us listen to him alone, and the people next to us, even if they are bigger than Lord Wei, we don't have to pay attention to them, which puts our subordinates in the middle, and we are angry at both ends, aren't we the ones who suffer? I don't know what the hell is the origin of this Lord Wei? Du Shanling sighed: "Master Wei seems to be too domineering. ”

"Capable people are domineering! I don't know what Lord Wei is from, no one should know, but I know that Lord Wei even dares to fight as a first- and second-grade minister, and he dares to fight in the palace, what kind of errand like us are in front of others? When did those who were in power treat us as human beings? Look at how hard a bunch of people scolded you like a dog today? Lao Sun Tou said: "If someone looks up to us, let's continue, people like us can only take one step at a time!" ”

"However, this Lord Wei seems to be very skilled, listening to what you just said, it seems that the current errand of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is no longer your main business, right?" Du Shanling still has scruples.

"If you don't take care of things, you won't be in charge, it's all mixed food." Old Sun Tou is not particularly concerned about where Du Shanling will go, because he is also worried about it now. The old grandson didn't know what his tomorrow would be like, and the old grandson didn't know Wei Bao.

They serve as errand servants, except for receiving a meager salary every month, whether it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate or Dali Temple, the additional income is not much.

Lao Sun Tou doesn't know if he can earn the same income in the future as before with Wei Bao, either more or less? Or was kicked out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate by Wei Bao a few days later.

Du Shanling saw that the old grandson was not in the mood to listen to him, but he still said a lot.

The two of them drank a meal like bulls and horses, and they both talked a lot, but most of them didn't listen to what the other party was saying.

At the same time, several ministers in the cabinet have not yet dispersed, which is a rare situation for them.

The cabinet ministers' attendance all day and night is generally very good, unless there is something to go out, otherwise they will generally be there, they want to be a model for the hundred officials, naturally they will not hide casually, and be caught by others.

However, when they reach the point of dispersion, even if the sky falls, they must also leave and go home! Unless he was called into the palace by the emperor to speak.

However, today, several ministers of the Ming Dynasty and several people who stood at the top of the officialdom pyramid were arguing endlessly over the promotion of a seven-quality view of politics, and no one left.

"I'm Shousuke! I, a first assistant, don't even have the power to do such a thing? Gu Bingqian said angrily, he is actually a personable person, and he rarely has disputes with several ministers of the Donglin Party.

"Lord Shoufu, I don't want to refute your face, but a seven-grade view of politics, all of a sudden mentioned Dali Temple Zuo Sicheng, and concurrently served as the experience of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, is this appropriate?" Ding Shaoshi explained with a red face.
