The officials in the hall were chattering and clamoring.

An official from the Taifu Temple couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, I think everyone should not go too far." It is true that Lord Chincha is younger and has little experience, but after all, he is an ambassador of plenipotentiary negotiations appointed by the emperor and authorized by the cabinet, and you can look down on a certain person, but you cannot despise the dignity of the imperial court. ”

"Bullshit, isn't Lao Tzu going to work every day to maintain the dignity of the court? Let this kind of courtier show off his might, that is the biggest shame of the imperial court! A Ministry of Industry official shouted.

"Okay, Lord Xu is really bold, why didn't you say this in the court?" Cao Delin asked with a sneer.

Among the people present, Cao Delin was the only one who did not drink, and standing in the middle of a group of drunks, he felt like he was facing a group of crazy people.

"Why should I say, aren't there you? These words should have been said by you imperial masters, why should I work for you? This Lord Xu blushed and said with a thick neck.

"Okay, wake up, I'm leaving my words here, who dares not to report to Lord Qincha tomorrow, and there is no justifiable reason, the lower officials have no choice but to impeach the imperial court." Cao Delin said loudly.

"Impeachment? Bullshit, you dare to impeach Lao Tzu, you are impatient, right? Master Xu of the Ministry of Industry stood up and walked towards Cao Delin in a leisurely manner.

"Lord Xu, please respect yourself, you are just a fourth-grade official of the imperial court, who do you want to be? I am the imperial history of the three products of the imperial court. Cao Delin was also annoyed.

Normally, it doesn't matter if everyone talks or laughs, but now that he is explaining his business, these bastards are still so confused, he has no choice but to take the court discipline seriously.

"Three products? The third grade is amazing, Lao Tzu's second-grade officials see it every day, and they don't act as uncles in front of Lao Tzu. This Lord Xu was not convinced.

"Okay, I'll write this in the bullet stamp, but I want to see if there is a second-grade official who is the uncle in front of you. I'll go back in a while. Cao Delin sneered.

"Don't, Lao Cao, Lao Xu has drunk too much wine, why do you have to be like him." An official of the Ministry of Rites was also a little scared when he saw that Cao Delin really wanted to do business.

"Too much wine? Then ask him if he drank it in his stomach or in the dog's stomach. Cao Delin's face turned blue with anger.

The officials who participated in the negotiations this time really did not have a fuel-efficient lamp, and their official rank was not high, but they had real power than the chief officials of various ministries and temples.

If he was in the court, he wouldn't bother to care, but now he was in another province, and if he didn't let these bastards know some rules, he would directly herd sheep in the future.

He secretly regretted in his heart, why did he go there to run this trip, just pretending to be confused, and he was arranged to be such a flattering errand to offend people.

However, this is indeed his duty, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally set up to supervise hundreds of officials, and has the highest supervision and law enforcement powers.

Emperor Yongle once had a rule: if the imperial history violates the law, the crime will be added to the third degree.

Such a provision is not only because the imperial history is a law enforcement officer, and knowing the law and breaking the law will naturally add to the crime, but also because the imperial history has a special status, and the official is a senior level, and a five-grade imperial history dares to compete with a first- or second-grade official or even a person who holds the authority of the country. With such special rights, of course, they are subject to greater constraints.

This provision was later proposed to be abolished by the Imperial Historians of the Imperial Procuratorate, on the grounds that everyone is equal before the law, and the Imperial Historian is no exception, and that the addition of a crime to the crime of violating the law of the Imperial Historian is not in accordance with the law and is discriminatory against this profession.

When the adult surnamed Xu heard Cao Delin ridiculing him as a dog, he was furious, coupled with his drunkenness, he completely lost his mind.

To explain the combat effectiveness of the courtiers, it was just now, and it was nothing new for the courtiers to fight outside the palace gate after the retreat of the court, and there were often fights in ordinary times.

Ordinary officials will respect the rules between superiors and subordinates, but no one in these officials takes official ranks seriously, and they usually dare to contradict Shangshu Shilang in the yamen, and often have the upper hand in the end.

Everyone was a little drunk by this trouble, the two of them really want to fight, it will be too embarrassing to spread the dignity of the court, this is not in the capital, fighting in the capital is a matter of two people, and now out of the capital, it represents the identity of the court.

While he was pulling, he suddenly heard an extremely loud voice shouting: "Lord Qincha has arrived!" ”

Immediately, he appeared at the door of the living room and announced his arrival by Ji Chang.

Immediately, the hall was quiet, so everyone was a little stunned, and they all felt a little unreal when they looked at the door and walked in.

In the past two days, they didn't go to see it, and it was because they were angry, and they heard the servants say that they were either pretending to be the prince's pomp in the small mansion, or taking people out to drink, where was there still a little bit of the appearance of Lord Qincha, so they simply became presumptuous and drank a lot.

These people all said that they were not convinced, but when they saw the scepter in his hand, their hearts were still a little weak, it was a holy relic with the same status as Shang Fang's sword.

Shang Fang's sword can't be taken out casually, and can only be "invited" when needed, so it usually has to be worshiped as if it were a holy relic. However, this diplomatic scepter must be held in the hand at all times, and it has the words "as if I am here" on it.

"It's so lively here, why don't you fight, you continue, leave me alone." Besides, he looked at everyone with a smile, and then said to Cao Delin and the official surnamed Xu.

"This ......" Cao Delin was a little sweaty, he didn't know what to say, if he told the truth about what he just did, he would be fine, but he had offended everyone here, and he didn't dare to do this kind of thing.

A few people saw that the situation was not good and wanted to sneak away, but they were stared at with their eyes.

"It seems that it was my fault, after Ben came here, I should have called everyone for a regular meeting, and then we had a small dinner, I was busy with other things, so I didn't have time. Let's do it, let's have a regular meeting tomorrow morning, and have dinner in the evening, I'll have a good drink with everyone, and if someone wants to fight, it's okay, I have more manpower for everyone to practice. He smiled, then turned and walked out.

Besides, after leaving, everyone was still a little unconscious, I thought that when I saw them like this, they would pretend to reprimand them, if this is the case, they can only consider themselves unlucky, during the performance of official duties, they will be drunk in broad daylight, which is indeed too unusual.

Unexpectedly, instead of blaming, he admitted his mistake, and the subsequent fight was just a joke.

Cao Delin felt bad, besides, he really wanted to reprimand these people fiercely, and play the prestige of the minister, he felt that it was nothing, and now he was really a little afraid to skip it lightly.

He looked at the officials around him, and said with a wry smile in his heart: Everyone, I am afraid that you will be guilty, be careful, don't put your own future on this kid.

Besides, he walked out of the hall and walked towards the small mansion with a faint smile on his face.

"My lord, you can really bear it, I can't help it, why don't you clean up those guys." Ji Chang said indignantly.

When they arrived, they heard some people's insults, and of course they heard even more.

Besides, I just wanted to take a casual look and find a few people to chat, but I didn't expect to see such a scene.

"What are you doing to clean them up, it's just drunk, at most it's the sin of drunkenness, let them bounce as much as they want, I'm worried about how to get rid of these burdens." Besides, he said lightly.

"Do you want to get together and clean them up?" Ji Chang also smiled.

"That's right."

Besides, I really hope that fewer people will go to the outside of the Saiwai to participate in negotiations, so that he will reduce a lot of protection duties, but unfortunately these are all appointed by the imperial court, and he can't dismiss them, but if someone disobeys the order or is not conducive to the negotiation, he can exercise the privilege of the minister and let these people go directly to class.

In addition, he also has to watch out for some forces in the court who want to profit for themselves in this negotiation, it can be said that these officials have such intentions, otherwise there is no need for everyone to have some secret mission.

Some people's missions will be easy to understand, such as the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Taifu Temple, all of which want to maximize the interests of their own departments in the negotiations, which is of course also for the sake of the imperial court, and does not conflict with the purpose of the situation, but some people may use some means in the negotiation to gain benefits for some family forces, which is what he is most worried about.

If he could have known the contents of these secrets before the negotiation, he could have taken precautions and took some means to defuse the intentions of these people, but unfortunately he could not figure out these secrets.

What puzzled him the most was the mission of the two imperial histories, if only to supervise these officials, it was enough to come to two five-grade imperial histories, anyway, when it came to the outside of the plug, even the rights of the imperial histories could not be used, and in the end they had to return to the imperial court before they could be impeached, in this case, what was the purpose of sending the two imperial histories?

He asked tentatively just now, but Cao Delin directly refused, refusing to tell him the truth, and claiming that everyone has a secret.

This is indeed true, and there is also a secret, which was given to him by Zhang Juzheng and the emperor, especially the three bags handed over to him by the emperor, and he still doesn't know what is inside.

"My lord, what if these people don't report tomorrow?" Ji Chang asked.

"It's impossible to come if you don't come, it's impossible to come, this can test the bottom of some people, it's a good opportunity." Besides, he laughed.

Ji Chang shook his head, he didn't understand what he meant, if he didn't come to report, he would naturally look down on this Qincha, what else would he have to test it, and he couldn't find out what the "bottom" was.

"You don't have to think about that, then go and find everyone, get my words to everyone, and never give them an excuse to say they don't know." Besides, he said.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates make sure everyone gets it."
