The eldest son is fierce

As soon as Tang Yi's carriage drove over, a group of officials from Jingzhao Prefecture immediately surrounded him.

Tang Jing, who was originally standing at the front, was pushed aside and could only stare blankly at a group of officials from Jingzhao Prefecture surrounding the carriage.

He used to be the Minister of Personnel, in charge of the promotion of officials throughout the country. Who would dare to offend him?

Now, everyone treats him as air, even a small seventh-rank official does not take him seriously.

"Sir Tang, I've been waiting for you."

"Haha, Lord Tang is talented and eloquent. It is my honor to work under you."

"Master Tang, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"..."

A group of people surrounded Tang Yi's carriage and complimented him.

Only the former Jingzhao prefect Fan Yu had a face so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

He is a distant relative of the Prime Minister, and he was originally placed in this position in preparation for him to play a big role in the future.

After all, Jingzhao Prefecture was the highest administrative body in Kyoto and had very high power, but now Emperor Yanwen casually found him an idle position as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy and sent him away.

Although it is said that the Hanlin Academy is the training ground for prime ministers, there is no real power in the Hanlin Academy. Every day, people are either editing books or writing articles.

Fan Yu felt that Tang Yi was the most suitable person for this position. Look at how well this guy wrote poems and essays. It would be a waste of his talent if he didn't go to the Hanlin Academy!

Of course, what made him even more angry was that a group of officials from Jingzhao Prefecture who had been servile and fawning before him yesterday, now all ran to lick Tang Yi's ass.

"Sir, we have arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture."

The rain curtain isolated the officials who were surrounding him, and he raised his sword to help Tang Yi open the curtain of the car.

Now she is Tang Yi's bodyguard, so she naturally has to give Tang Yi enough face in such occasions.

After the curtain was lifted, Tang Yi, dressed in an official robe, emerged from the carriage, holding an object wrapped in cloth in his hand.

"Your humble servant greets Lord Tang." All the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture bowed in salute.

"Thank you for your hard work, no need to be so polite."

Tang Yi smiled politely and said, "Please stand up. You have all worked in Jingzhao Prefecture for many years and are all seniors. Although I am in charge of Jingzhao Prefecture from afar, I still have to learn from you."

"Let's go inside and talk business."

Tang Yi walked directly into Jingzhao Prefecture. When he saw Liu Gongqing, he nodded slightly to him.

In the yamen, he was his superior, so it was naturally impossible for him to address Liu Gongqing as uncle.

As for Tang Jing, he didn't even glance at him from beginning to end.

When passing by the former Jingzhao prefect, Tang Yi stopped and bowed with a smile: "Master Fan, congratulations on your promotion! The Hanlin Academy is a training ground for prime ministers. If you become a prime minister in the future, please take good care of me."

Fan Yu's face suddenly froze.

Promotion? What the hell!

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture is of the third rank, and the academician of the Hanlin Academy is of the fourth rank. I have clearly been demoted, and you are still congratulating me on my promotion?

Fan Yu suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Lord Tang is the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, appointed by His Majesty. He is a marquis with a bright future. Don't be so modest."

"Well, that's true."

Tang Yi knew the relationship between Fan Yu and Prime Minister Fan Yong, so he naturally didn't bother to be polite and admitted it openly, which made Fan Yu want to tear him apart.

"Since Lord Tang has arrived, let's hand over the work."

Fan Yu gestured for invitation and said, "Please, Lord Tang, official business must be discussed in court."

Tang Yi nodded and followed Fan Yu into Jingzhao Prefecture, followed closely by a group of officials from Jingzhao Prefecture.

After entering the lobby, Fan Yu sneered and sat down on the main seat, not taking Tang Yi, the new governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, seriously at all.

Everyone looked embarrassed when they saw this scene. They all knew that Fan Yu did it on purpose to intimidate Tang Yi.

Unfortunately, Tang Yi didn't indulge him and said with a smile: "Master Fan, you are sitting in the wrong seat."

Fan Yu looked up at Tang Yi, his face darkening. "Sir Tang, until the handover is complete, I am still the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. I am the one who makes the decisions here."

"Also, even if I'm no longer the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, I've held this position for three years and am still your predecessor..."

Before he could finish his words, his voice stopped abruptly and his face twisted.

Tang Yi calmly lifted the yellow cloth in his hand, revealing the sword in his hand. There were four words inscribed on the scabbard.

Imperial sword!

Seeing this scene, all the ministers in Jingzhao Prefecture were stunned.

They were originally wondering what method Tang Yi would use to break Fan Yu's show of force, but they didn't expect Tang Yi to be so simple and crude.

"Hmm? What did Lord Fan just say? I didn't hear clearly. Please say it again."

Tang Yi placed the imperial sword lightly on the table and looked down at Fan Yu condescendingly.

Fan Yu was so angry at that time, "Shameless! If you have the guts, why don't you take out the imperial sword?"

Just now outside, you said you wanted to learn from your seniors. Is this how you learn from your seniors?

"Your Majesty, I, Fan Yu, pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness!"

Fan Yu quickly got up from his seat and knelt on the ground respectfully to pay his respects.

"I see your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed and safe!"

All the ministers of Jingzhao Prefecture also knelt down and saluted.

With the imperial sword, if I were here in person, I would not allow them to deny their position.

Tang Yi sat down at the main seat with a majestic look, glanced at everyone, and said, "Your Majesty, please be well. Everyone, please stand up and take your seats. If you have something to say, just talk about it. Don't engage in empty talk."

Everyone then got up and took their seats.

Fan Yu also found a seat in the front near Tang Yi and sat down with a gloomy face.

Tang Yi looked at him and said, "Master Fan, don't you want to hand over your work? Go ahead, I'm listening."

Fan Yu was so angry that his breathing became rapid. He said, "Okay, I'll see if I can't trick you to death."

He immediately bowed with a sullen face and said, "Let's not talk about other things for now, but there are two things that I would like to draw your attention to, Lord Tang."

"First, the official road outside the south city, which runs from Jingdu to Huaicheng for over seventy miles, has been left unrepaired for years and is now full of potholes."

"Jingzhao Prefecture has already started the road construction project. The Ministry of Works has also approved it. His Majesty has already approved it. All that is left is to collect labor service before construction can begin."

"I have already issued a military order to the Ministry of Works to complete the project within two months and pass the inspection. This is a major project that will benefit both the country and the people. I hope you will pay attention to it."

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

Tang Yi had just taken office, and Fan Yu had already dug a big hole for him!

The conscription and labor service in the middle of winter will certainly arouse the resentment of the people in Kyoto. The most important thing is that Jingzhao Prefecture has no money and no food, so how can it build roads?

There are still two months to complete the project. How is this possible?

Even Liu Gongqing's expression changed, and he kept winking at Tang Yi, telling him not to be fooled.

Tang Jing's face was also cold as he glanced at Fan Yu coldly. This was not to trick Tang Yi, but to trick him as well!

If Tang Yi fails to complete the project on time in two months, he will definitely be held accountable, and he will be in trouble as well.

At this moment, Tang Yi also raised his head suddenly and stared at Fan Yu in disbelief.

Everyone thought he was shocked, but they didn't know that when he heard Fan Yu's words, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Old man, you want to trick me? You've already done me a big favor!

I was originally thinking about how to accommodate the refugees entering Kyoto, but look, aren’t these free jobs here?
