Chapter 647: Suppressing the Audience
Bao Wenyuan, the new governor of the capital, burned most of the imperial history team with a "fire" when the new official took office. They have always been the only ones who impeached others, and no one else could touch their imperial history, and this time it was a mistake.
As soon as the news came out, people were first surprised, then disbelieving. Although the prefect of the capital is nominally in charge of the affairs of the capital, and theoretically it is true that it can manage other officials to bend the law for bribes, but those who are not stupid know that this is only in name, in fact, throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty, the prefect of the capital has always been the official with the highest power in name and the smallest power in the entire capital. Therefore, Bao Wenyuan has the courage to move the imperial history, and no one will believe it when he hears it.
However, when everyone knew that this Bao Wenyuan's backer was Tang Jin, not only did they believe in it, but they also felt that there was no problem. Nonsense, now in the entire capital, Tang Jin can be said to cover the sky with one hand, as long as he is willing to change the entire court team a few times without the same, just give Bao Wenyuan the qualification to exercise his legitimate rights, it's not too easy, okay?
Zuixianlou, as the largest restaurant in the capital, has always been one of the important places for officials of the DPRK and China to invite guests to banquets and discuss state affairs. Whenever there is any big move in the DPRK and China, it is even more overcrowded, and this is exactly the case today.
"You say, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to rectify the imperial history this time? Otherwise, how could he let this Bao Wenyuan take the imperial history as soon as he came up? An old man with a gray beard whispered.
The middle-aged man sitting next to him gave him a blank look, "I said that you are really old and confused, this is because of his bad luck and bad luck, if His Royal Highness really wants to rectify them, do you need to be so troublesome?" In a word, there are people in the capital who are willing to serve. Not to mention the whole imperial history team that is not pleasing in the first place, it is the whole department, and there are a lot of people going to the prime minister. ”
This middle-aged sentence immediately attracted everyone's birth to echo. What he said is true, if Tang Jin really wants to rectify the imperial history team, where is there such a hard work?
"The prefect of the capital, Lord Bao, has arrived!"
Everyone was chatting hotly, and the little two downstairs suddenly shouted. In the next second, the originally crowded restaurant instantly fell into a deathly silence, and the entire restaurant seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and several hands that were raising their glasses stopped directly in mid-air, and the wine in it was spilled.
As an important place for banquets and drinks for officials of the DPRK and China, the Zuixian Tower has arranged special personnel to report the arrival of some officials with status. One is to give enough people face and pomp, and the other is to give them
His official reminded that this is a powerful person, don't drink too much and lose people or offend people.
According to the usual practice, the prefect of the capital does not need to report, and even said that if there are too many people in the restaurant, the prefect is not qualified to enter. But that was before, and now it's different. In the whole capital, who doesn't know that this is the henchman of His Royal Highness the Prince? On the first day of taking office, he took down half of the ruthless people of the imperial history team in one bite, coupled with the legendary iron-faced selfless, who only looks at the rules and does not look at the feelings, how can they not be frightened when such a ruthless person comes?
"We ...... Dishes to order...... Didn't overdo it, right? This sentence became the common voice of everyone at this moment.
The imperial court allowed officials to entertain each other for banquets, but there were strict rules on the amount of silver spent, and if it exceeded too much, it would be treated as bribery.
For a while, the officials of all sizes up and down the restaurant looked at the dishes on the table and began to check the price, and found that they did not exceed the quota and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if they had escaped, and those who were in excess looked out of the window after their faces turned pale, picked up a plate of delicacies that had not been touched much, and poured out of the window without hesitation...... That would be too much to lose. However, this made the beggars on the street happy.
"Master Bao is here! If I knew you were coming, Xia Guan would definitely prepare a table of wine and treat you to a good meal! ”
"Go, go, go! Which green onion are you? If you want to please, I'll come first! ”
"Why do you have to come first? I'm supposed to come first! ”
"I'll go first!"
"I'll go first!"
Countless officials rushed downstairs and directly squeezed out Bao Wenyuan, who had just stepped into the door. Bao Wenyuan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, looked at everyone with an embarrassed face, and said something first but couldn't say anything.
You said that if they came up to beat themselves, they could still let the guards and family members around them resist it, but they all had to be treated...... Have you ever seen someone treat you to a guest, but you beat them up? Isn't that too unreasonable?
At this moment, a flat voice with a hint of indifference and faint displeasure said: "I said everyone, do you want to give His Highness a face, let me invite first?" ”
As soon as this voice came out, the people who were still making a lot of noise seemed to have pressed the pause button again, and even more powerful than last time, and they froze directly in place one by one. After being stunned for a long time, everyone twisted
Stiff neck looked at the source of the sound.
On the stairs, a young man in a white brocade robe looked at them with a smile, but the smile not only did not make them feel relaxed, but felt a chill in their backs.
"I'll wait to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Everyone knelt down in unison, and each one lowered their heads so low that there was no doubt that if there was a hole in the ground, they would not hesitate to put their heads in. No wonder they are so scared, it's really this master who is famous. This person is Tang Jin!
Glancing at everyone, Tang Jin snorted coldly, "The few who deliberately poured the vegetables just now are gone this month." Next time, remember, eat as much as you want, why can't he finish eating? Is there money to burn? ”
"Yes!"
When everyone heard this, they didn't care whether the person who poured the food just now was himself or not, anyway, he just agreed, and when he went out to eat in the future, he definitely had to order according to the head, and if he didn't eat enough, he would definitely not order one more dish.
"Wenyuan, come in, talk upstairs." After speaking, Tang Jin turned his head and walked upstairs, then suddenly thought of something, and looked at the people who were still kneeling in place: "Get up, leave quickly after eating, eat quickly if you don't finish eating, chat quietly, don't make noise to me." ”
After that, without waiting for everyone to answer, he went straight back to the private room on the second floor. Bao Wenyuan, who was waiting, also followed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, you look at me, I look at you, and they all turned their heads and walked out.
Dine? Eat a hammer! With that master here, who would dare to eat it? People have said that they are afraid of noise, and if you don't make a sound when you chew something, you stay.
Everyone didn't have time to settle the bill, and when they wanted to pay the account on credit as usual, they only heard Tang Jin snort coldly, "Settle the account before leaving!" Who gave you the usual faults! ”
With a loud shout, everyone who had already walked out of the restaurant turned around and returned, decisively took out the silver ticket from their arms, and queued up to pay in an orderly manner. What's more, not only do they plan to settle this time, but they also plan to settle all the previous ones at once, Tang Jin is interested, and he wants to check the accounts, won't they finish playing?
In a word, the bad habits of all officials have been changed, and I am afraid that only Tang Jin can do it in the whole world.
In the box, Bao Wenyuan, who had a full view of all this through the window, showed a touch of longing on his face, when would he have such a power as Tang Jin? A hundred officials can be suppressed in one sentence, even if the emperor is not so powerful, right?
