The breeze was still there, and there was a little mournful smell in the air, and even the petals seemed to fall less.

Two orioles "squeak..." Screaming, as if frightened by such an atmosphere, "Poof..." With a bang, both sides flew away into the blue sky, and disappeared into the sky after a while.

Runzhi looked at the figures of the two yellow orioles gradually moving away, as if he was pondering something.

"Zilu, you know me, I did a lot of things wrong, if God wants to send disasters, then let the disasters fall on me alone, let me bear it alone, I do things by myself, I will bear it by myself"

"Really, do you think you can afford it alone? Do you still have our children in your heart? Do you remember what our children are called? ”

"This... This ······"

Runzhi was too busy with the big things that the real Tian Wenjing needed to deal with recently, and the recent beauty and talent of more than 100 concubines in Jiangsu, who were only concerned about singing night after night, turned around and even forgot what his child was called.

"Well, our child, An Wuwu, is already one and a half years old, but you don't even remember his name, don't you feel sorry for your child?"

Runzhi didn't speak, but quietly looked at the sky through the branches and leaves of the peach blossom tree, a few white clouds floating above the blue sky, looking so leisurely.

If I was as leisurely, comfortable, and carefree as the white clouds in the sky, how good would it be, I didn't have to be busy with mundane affairs all day and night, while racking my brains in order to let the people on one side rack my brains, but on the other hand, I couldn't help my own desires, and I was searching for the people's fat and people's ointment, although I didn't directly fish the people, but from accepting hundreds of thousands of taels of gold from the state government, enjoying more luxurious treatment than the palace, wasn't it changing the way to force those state officials to loot the people?

So is it your own merit that is greater than your fault, or is your fault greater than your merit?

Take the Hebei flood that occurred in the fifth year of Yongzheng, if the real Tian Wenjing did not adopt his own strategy of "co-governance between the government and the people, reward and punishment dredging", and all the laborers over the age of 18 among the millions of victims in the Yellow River flooding area were assigned to the Yellow River dredging migrant worker camp, and spent high welfare benefits on these migrant workers, so as to mobilize tens of millions of people in Hebei's neighboring provinces to support Hebei's post-disaster reconstruction in a systematic manner.

Not to mention that the Yellow River has not flooded so far, and it has also reduced the deaths of dozens or even millions of victims, which is a great credit, right?

Take the locust plague in the eighth year of Yongzheng as an example, when Jiangxi, Sichuan and other provinces were facing the catastrophe of food crops, in this case, if Tian Wenjing had not adopted my strategy of "increasing the number of birds, expanding aquatic products, killing larvae, feeding on locusts, and exempting them from taxation for one year".

Tens of millions of people in these two places are facing the overwhelming locust plague, and when the grain harvest is poor and taxes are increased, if they really listen to the words of those "meat eaters" and let the Five Banners soldiers come here to forcibly collect grain instead of helping to renovate the land and kill the larvae, wouldn't it be to force the people in these places to death?

With this strategy, the locust plague that has been difficult to control for decades has been thoroughly controlled, so that the grain output of the two places has not decreased but has been greatly improved, and the people of the two places have also taken the initiative to pay taxes for half a year to reduce the starvation of millions of people.

Such are almost innumerable, including the plague in Henan, Shandong and other places, behind which I am also here to dispatch troops, from everywhere to raise food thousands of miles to transport, so that those who hide in the mountains and forests to escape the plague can get a certain amount of help, although it is difficult to save everyone, but because of this, there are millions of survivors, this is also a huge merit, right?

Compared to this, why can't I enjoy the whole palace?

"Actually, I don't want to enjoy this palace myself, I don't want these hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, I don't want these more than 100 best concubine-level stunning women, I don't want these thousands of slaves, but is this something I can personally control?"

Runzhi thought like this in his mind, and said to Zilu in a helpless tone:

"Your father was a thorough clean official, and on the day he took office, he cut back on food and clothing, and your mother was a beautiful girl, a stunning local woman, because she admired your father's reputation for incorruptibility rather than your father's refusal to marry. After never wanting to marry your father, because your father was careful about his living expenses, his living conditions were simply upside down compared to the days when he was in his mother's home. Although your mother has no regrets in her heart, her body cannot withstand such a toss, and she died of illness less than a year after giving birth to you. ”

Runzhi paused and said, "Of course I have heard of the hundreds of thousands of taels of gold that the state officials gave me, and it is said that because of this, each state government has added nearly one-fifth more taxes to the people, and some of them have caused big problems, and there are many people who have lost their families, but this is not something I can control." If I don't do this, they will think that I don't know the current affairs, and if I track it down, not only may I be exposed, but even the real Tian Wenjing will be implicated, and regardless of the serious corruption of these state officials, if I don't accept it, they will not be at ease, and they will definitely write a letter to slander Lord Tian Wenjing first."

"This is embarrassment, isn't it?" , Hearing this, Zilu seemed very calm, although Runzhi said it was very reasonable, but he also knew that Runzhi was definitely not right like this, after all, it was hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and people's ointment.

"Why don't we return the rest of the hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and those concubine-level women?" , Zilu drilled into Runzhi's arms, as if she was coquettish, and women were coquettish, which basically made it difficult for the man who loved her to refuse, let alone a stunning woman who was coquettish.

"By no means, in this way, then not only me, but even the real Lord Tian Wen Jingtian may not be able to save his life", Runzhi shook his head, paused for a while, and continued:

"Recently, I heard that I sent people to supervise these state officials to report that more than half of these state officials have great doubts about my identity, and someone may have obtained evidence that I am pretending to be Lord Tian Wenjing. Because the daughter of the real Lord Tian now lives in this mansion, and has sent dozens of housekeepers here to take charge of important financial documents, etc., so they have already guessed that Lord Tian Wenjing authorized me, in order not to offend Lord Tian Wenjing, they are pretending to do it, and obey me everywhere like the real Tian Wenjing, in fact, in private, they may have already investigated me clearly! Runzhi raised his tone and continued:

"Just imagine if they suddenly returned these hundreds of thousands of taels of gold to them at this time, they would definitely be terrified, and this move could even be regarded as a sign of the enemy that Lord Tian Wenjing Tian had drawn a line with these corrupt state officials. So if they are panicked and then unite with those factions who oppose Tian Wenjing in the DPRK and China, and all the members of the party will write a letter of impeachment in front of the current saint and the real Lord Tian Wenjing, I am afraid that the current prime minister will inevitably be weak under the strength of the crowd, once Lord Tian Wenjing Tian is degraded and killed, then we will die without a place to be buried! ”
