Chapter 18 The back garden of the palace
Many poor people in ragged clothes were like walking into the peach banquet of the Queen Mother.
Originally, these long-term workers who were bribed by Ma Buxiao's mother and praised the so-called Wanmin Book thought that Tian Daren just wanted to mean it simply, but they didn't expect that the specifications of the hospitality were simply beyond their imagination.
Dishes they had never seen and heard of were brought to the table, pots of wine and wine that were better than the liquid were served to the table, all kinds of barbecue, all kinds of royal food and drink appeared in front of these poor long-term workers in tattered clothes.
This is in stark contrast to the previous experience of suffering in the Ma family, and for the first time, these poor minions in the eyes of the Ma family felt that this world was so wonderful for the first time.
A beggar-like man with wounds, dressed in swarthy linen clothes with numerous patches, and covered with a foul stench, drank fine wine, and suddenly shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, how can we bear to deceive such a good parent?" In my opinion, we can't live up to Lord Tian's wishes, so let's tell us all about Ma's mother forcing us to give false testimony and let people sign a joint letter on our behalf! ”
"This,····" Others are obviously thinking about this as well, but they still have a problem in their hearts.
"It's not proper, if we do this, go back, the owner will definitely skin us in private and break our hands and feet!" A timid and obscene man in his thirties with an oily face worried.
"The kindness of the adults to us, everyone can see it, the Ma family oppressed us especially badly, we have long been unbearable, so we don't need to endure it anymore, fortunately, we will tell the truth with Lord Tian, and then we will ask Lord Tian to take me in?"
"It's all about being a slave, if you can be a slave of Tianfu, it's simply what we dream of! I'm afraid that Lord Tian won't necessarily take me in! The rest of the long-term laborers, who had endured for a long time that the Ma family was not fed and clothed, and were forced to be whipped and beaten day and night, these poor people echoed one after another.
Many of the Ma family workers discussed a lot, and finally decided to send someone to negotiate with Lord Tian's housekeeper, and the housekeeper asked Lord Tian to take everyone in as slaves in Tianfu.
In the eyes of these people who don't have enough food and clothing every day, being able to enter Tianfu, even among the local minions, is the top-level minions, and they are superior to all the minions in Kyushu.
Who will you send?
Everyone talked again, and everyone understood that once the negotiation failed, then this person would definitely become the scapegoat for this incident, and the owner would vent all his anger on this person, and there would definitely be no way to live.
"I'll do it anyway, if something happens then, I'll say I'm doing it alone! If you want to kill or chop, I will bear it all! The young long-term worker who originally proposed said that his muscles were bruised, his face was red and his neck was thick, and his heart was already boiling.
Walking leisurely, talking about scriptures and Taoism, Runzhi and a group of officials were walking and chatting along the back garden of the palace.
It is not so much that "Lord Tian" accompanies everyone to play in the back garden again, but that the adults of the state government put down their official affairs to accompany the first celebrity in the imperial court.
Every poem that Runzhi improvises will be said to be the most talented work of all time, and even state officials will praise it at length.
After all, it is made according to the scale of the palace, the back garden of the palace is really luxurious, all kinds of colorful flowers are in full bloom, simulating the appearance of Kyushu, digging the small Yangtze River, making the Yellow River, the plains and plateaus are staggered, and the rockery waterfalls are like forests.
The whole garden is infiltrated with the essence of the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, on the top of the crystal clear murmuring water, there are delicate and small bridges, and some palace maids are allowed to walk on it with umbrellas, three or two in groups, talking and laughing, one side of the small bridge is a variety of pavilions and pavilions, each of which is unique, and each has its own classical humanistic connotation.
Runzhi and the officials of the state government walked slowly along a path paved with wool and embroidered with gold wire, where they would taste the monuments at the "Shangxian Pavilion", taste tea and write poems at the "Min Xin Building", and talk about today's major events at the "Jingjian Pavilion", while guessing each other's factions to which the court belonged.
"Adult, the villain has something to report", Runzhi looked at the housekeeper Lao Zhong's expression, it was an extremely surprised description, it was estimated that something big had happened!
"Adults are free to watch, and this official will be back later," Runchi said with a smile to the officials.
In fact, Runzhi understands very well that the protagonist here is only himself in the end, just because of the authorization of Lord Tian, and now he is the veritable Lord Tian Wenjing Tian here, and all the officials here have to obey their orders, and even to a certain extent, they have the power of life and death over these state officials with the gold medal.
Of course, this may also be one of the reasons why the state government officials have so much respect for Tian Wenjingtian.
Once a person has power, he has the power of life and death over a range of people, for example, the magistrate has the power of life and death over a county, and the state capital has the power of life and death over a state, but only has no power over the life and death of each other's court officials, and Lord Tian Wenjing Tian is not subject to this control.
Such power, except for Lord Tian Wen Jingtian, is only available to the current saints.
In this way, for the officials of the state capital, it is unreasonable for such a luxurious palace not to be given to Tian Wen Jingtian.
"My lord, those grass people said that they had something important to tell you, and they also said that they wanted to enter our house!" , Lao Zhong had doubts about Runzhi's attitude towards these people from the beginning, and now his doubts are even greater. "The grass people are simply getting an inch, or I'll send them away! My lord, you give them the standard of entertaining first-class officials, which is simply unheard of from ancient times to the present, and they spend a lot of money for these grass people, and now they want to stay in our mansion and not leave! If they dare to rely on our house, see that I don't let the soldiers break his legs!" ”
"What did they tell you?" Runzhi asked Lao Zhong.
Lao Zhongzhong said honestly, "What kind of representative did they send, saying that everyone had urgent matters to talk to the adults, and that everyone wanted to stay in our house!" ”
"Let that rep come and see me right away! Now, immediately, immediately! Runzhi said.
Although Lao Zhong didn't understand the meaning of Runzhi, the power of habit immediately allowed him to carry out the master's orders thoroughly and thoroughly as soon as possible.
After a while, a young man with patches all over his body stood beside Runzhi, "What's your name?" Runzhi said gently, sitting comfortably on a swing in the garden.
