Text Volume 3 The Road to Empire_Chapter 645 Nanjing VI
However, Gong Dingxiao was interrupted by Mu Tianbo as soon as he spoke, "What kind of cat and dog are you, this father and Fu Ninghou are talking, and you dare to interject indiscriminately?" ”
Gong Dingyu glanced at the domineering Mu Tianbo, and his heart was also a little dissatisfied, but he still replied with neither humility nor arrogance: "The lower official Gong Dingyu, who works in the procuratorate of the Nanjing Criminal Department, is the official of the Son of Heaven, not a cat or a dog.
This Nanjing city has been peaceful for more than 100 years, so why do you need to be on duty for war. Even if the little grandfather has a respected status, I'm afraid he can't cross the Nanjing garrison to interfere in Nanjing's military affairs, right? I am afraid that this is against the imperial court system. ”
Gong Dingxiao's words successfully attracted Mu Tianbo's attention, his gaze shifted from Funing Hou to Gong Ding's body, stared at him for a few seconds, and then said coldly: "It is said that the Nanjing Criminal Department Procuratorate has just appointed 4 new prosecutors to supervise the transportation of grain from the south to the disaster area, and you are one of them?" ”
Gong Dingyu turned a few thoughts in his heart, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaguan is one of them." ”
Mu Tianbo suddenly turned to look at the dining table, pulled down the tableware with the hard pole horsewhip in his hand, and said with a few words: "Five people eat twenty or thirty dishes, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are all ready." Funinghou, how much did you spend on this meal? ”
Gong Dingyu's heart sank, and before he could say anything, Zhu Guobi had already replied unconsciously: "This tableware and a lot of ingredients were sent by me from the house, so the cost is not much, and this table is only 150 yuan." ”
"One hundred and fifty dollars? I think the entertainment expenses of this female musician and the owner of Meilou are not included, right? Mu Tianbo quickly asked.
Zhu Guobi replied without thinking: "Renting Meilou for one night is also 150 yuan, and the invited female music is added another 50, a total of 350 yuan." ”
Mu Tianbo suddenly sneered a few times, which made Zhu Guobi a little confused, in his opinion, this amount was already very economical.
After this year's Nanjing Township Examination, Jiaxing Yao Beiruo spent 10,000 yuan to rent 12 building boats in the Qinhuai River, recruited more than 100 well-known people from all over the world to take the test, and invited four famous prostitutes to drink wine in each boat, a pear orchard, lights and songs, sleepless all night, and it was passed as a momentary event.
And last year, Shen Yuruo in Jiaxing took out thousands of yuan to invite famous prostitutes in Jiangnan to compete for beauty, in order to set the ranking of these famous prostitutes and record their various skills, and the people of Jiangnan are still talking about this flower case book.
This ten miles of Qinhuai River, painting boat Qinglou everywhere, this is the famous "gold cave" in the south of the Yangtze River, is to listen to the owner of the Meilou singing a song, it also costs 10 yuan, he is dignified Ming Funing Hou, Nanjing garrison, spend 350 yuan to invite someone to have a meal, what's wrong? Not to mention Mu Tianbo, the king of Yunnan, with a net worth of tens of millions, is it necessary to be so surprised by this mere 350 yuan for a meal?
Zhu Guobi was still thinking about what he didn't have, Mu Tianbo suddenly turned his face and said: "Your Majesty's meal on weekdays is only four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables. In the spring of this year, there was a severe drought in several places in the north, and His Majesty removed the meat from his diet, and he is still a vegetarian.
The British Prince, the Marquis of Fengcheng and I convened the princes of the capital a month ago to discuss that before the drought is resolved, the children of the noble relatives of the Xun family are not allowed to enter and leave the fireworks and willow lane, and the number of dishes for the guests is not allowed to exceed eight plates.
Funing Hou, how can Your Excellency dare to spend 350 yuan on a meal? Do you feel that you are an outlaw who is not subject to the control of the Senate? What's more, you're still hosting a prosecutor who oversees the transportation of food for disaster relief.
Do you know that this meal can feed at least 350 victims for half a month, and you can swallow it? Gong Dingxiao, have you read your sage book into the dog's stomach? ”
Gong Dingxiao's face was flushed, and he had been smooth sailing since he was a child, but it was the first time he was humiliated in public like this. However, considering the status of the other party and the sergeant beside the other party, he still endured this breath, and just kept muttering: "There is an insult, there is an insult..."
The few people who accompanied him were stunned, they didn't know how to deal with this scene, whether it was the aggressive little grandfather or the high-powered Funing Hou, it was not something they could provoke.
But standing in this scene, can they still appear in front of Funing Hou in the future? It is estimated that when Hou Ye sees them, he will remember today's shame. At this moment, they could only shrink their necks and become quails, and some even wished that they were not here tonight.
As for Gu Mei, who was standing with the Kou sisters, she was also shaky, looking like she was about to faint. For her, it was a real disaster. If the words of the little grandfather today spread, not only will the reputation of Funinghou and Gong Dingyu be damaged, but her eyebrow tower will probably become a source of disaster that everyone avoids.
And Zhu Guobi finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and his charges could be finalized and implemented by Mu Tianbo if he endured it. Even if he thinks that this little grandfather is a mad dog, and when he sees someone biting him, he can't guarantee that the emperor will believe the little grandfather's words.
So he was bold, puffed up his chest and said to Mu Tianbo's gaze: "The Duke of Qianguo has said this, even if the Jingxun family has such a public discussion, but our Nanjing Xun family has not made such a decision, and the Senate should also listen to our opinions before making a decision." The Senate is not Your Majesty, and what you say can be true?
Yes, this year's drought in the north is severe, and His Majesty has cut down on food and clothing to help the victims, which really makes people feel admiration. However, our Nanjing Zhuxun family also responded to His Majesty's call and donated a lot of food.
This northern disaster certainly deserves sympathy, but you can't take your anger out on us in the south. The land south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, even if it is an ordinary family to entertain guests, it will cost more than ten or twenty, I am a Marquis of the Ming Dynasty to invite someone to have a meal, is it not as good as the banquet of ordinary citizens' homes?
Qianguo Gong might as well open his eyes and look out the window, these ten miles of Qinhuai River are full of such gold caves, do you plan to seal these ten miles of Qinhuai River?
For today's events, I will write to Your Majesty to plead guilty. But Qianguogong, you led the troops to break into the Qinglou so late, didn't you take me, the Nanjing garrison, too seriously? I am the garrison of Nanjing appointed by His Majesty, and even if you are a duke, you can't ignore the imperial court system. ”
Mu Tianbo stared at him with a strange face for a long time, and then said tepidly: "You should look out the window, it's Funing Hou." Even now, you still don't know what is going on? I don't even know how you became a Nanjing garrison, and you don't even have this vigilance. ”
After Mu Tianbo finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent, and at this time, everyone in the room faintly heard the shouting and insulting sound from outside, Zhu Guobi's face was bad, and he quickly ran to the window to look out.
After a while, he turned back to Mu Tianbo angrily and said, "What did you do to Duke Qianguo?" You don't know that I, the garrison of Nanjing, mobilized the army of Nanjing out of the camp without authorization, do you want to rebel? ”
Mu Tianbo raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Funing Hou and said with a smile: "Although I didn't inform you, it was Funing Hou that you went out for no reason, so that my father couldn't inform me."
I was ordered by His Majesty to supervise the military affairs of Nanking and the affairs of the southern grain collection and transshipment, but as soon as I arrived in Nanjing, I found that the Nanjing garrison had left its post without authorization, and the officers and men of the battalion had gone out in violation of discipline.
Therefore, as a last resort, he had to note that the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department and the Nanjing Coordinated Garrison took over the military affairs of Nanjing. That is to say, from this day on... To be exact, 2 hours ago, the Marquis of Funing, your position as a garrison in Nanjing, had been suspended.
I am now leading the soldiers to arrest all the soldiers of the battalion who went out in violation of discipline tonight, but I unexpectedly met you in this Qinglou by the Qinhuai River. Funing Hou, are you willing to go back to the camp with me? Or are you going to let me tie you up? ”
Zhu Guobi finally panicked, and he said incoherently: "No, you can't arrest me." Qianguo Gong, do you want to make a feud with my Nanjing Zhuxun family? You connived at the soldiers to go out of camp at this night, aren't you afraid that they will destroy the city of Nanjing? I must ask Your Majesty for you..."
Looking at Zhu Guobi's hoarse shouting, Mu Tianbo felt very bored. He said to the generals beside him: "Go, invite the Marquis of Funing back to the house, hand it over to Nanjing Jinyiwei to take care of, and wait for Your Majesty to send it..."
Although Zhu Guobi scolded non-stop, he didn't dare to make any resistance, and let the generals around Qianguo take him down the stairs.
Seeing Funinghou end up like this, Gong Dingyu felt that the young Qianguo Gong was about crazy, and he didn't dare to say anything more at this time, but he just hoped that this plague god could leave as soon as possible, and it was best to forget about himself.
However, what he thought was still too simple, after sending Fu Ninghou downstairs, Mu Tianbo stood in place and looked around at the faces of everyone in the room, and then said to Gu Mei, who was about to faint, "You are the owner of Meilou?" ”
Gu Mei, who was weak in his hands and feet, gritted his teeth and stood up from the support of the Kou sisters, and bowed down to Mu Tianbo and replied: "Back to the Duke of Qianguo, the concubine is Gu Mei." ”
Mu Tianbo saw Gu Mei's face clearly at this time, and it was indeed a petite and delicate Jiangnan girl, but his complexion did not change, and he just asked: "Has Funinghou's money been paid for today's meal?" ”
Faced with Mu Tianbo's out-of-the-box thinking, Gu Mei was also dumbfounded for a while, and only after a while did he tremble and replied: "I have already given 200 before, if the Duke of Qianguo needs it, the concubine will be taken by the grandfather." ”
Mu Tianbo Ma waved his hand and said: "I didn't mean that, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Funing Hou to leave the mansion after today, but he always has to give money for food." You send someone to the Funing Marquis Mansion tomorrow to get the money, and I will go down on your orders. ”
Gu Mei didn't dare to say more, so he could only bow down and say thank you. Mu Tianbo turned around and went downstairs at this time, seeing that the plague god was leaving, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Mu Tianbo suddenly turn around and say to Gong Dingyu.
"You are an official, and this prince can't restrain you. However, with your moral integrity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to supervise the grain transshipment affairs. Therefore, this association will send it to the Nanjing Criminal Department Procuratorate, and replace it with you..."
Gong Dingyu felt that his head had been hit hard, and his ears were ringing for a while, and he couldn't hear Mu Tianbo's words at all.
His heart was like ashes, and when he left, he couldn't comfort Gu Mei, who was also depressed, and only Yu Huai was faintly happy about Gong Dingyu's fate.
