I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 65 Invite Your Envoys to Eat Pie

At noon, the sun rose to the top of the zenith, wantonly pouring its own heat on the land of Changyi Kingdom.

Such hot weather is very rare in spring in Changyi.

The courtyard of the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion was very lively, and the people who came to testify to Liu He sat on the ground.

They formed a small circle in threes and fives, chatting and eating food from the East Kitchen of Xiangfu.

Because of the rush of time, I naturally couldn't make anything exquisite.

The staple food is steaming pancakes just made, and the side dishes are prepared in advance.

This storage is actually salted vegetables and kimchi.

There is a cloud in "Poetry": I have a purpose to store, and I also use it to protect the winter.

This is a kind of side dish that ordinary people usually eat the most.

Although the food distributed was very simple and ordinary, everyone was eating in full swing, and the sound of chewing food was overwhelming in the yard.

At first, everyone still couldn't let it go, after all, this is the majestic and solemn prime minister's mansion.

But after thinking about it, they came to help the king of Changyi to ask for money, so they hardened all of a sudden.

Everyone talked more and more vigorously, and the food became more and more enjoyable.

"The food in this Xiangfu is mediocre, and it tastes nothing more than that. Take this cake as an example, it's too dry and too hard."

Before Guan Er said this, he actually ate four cakes in one go, and he used his fingers to pick up the broken pieces that fell on the skirt of his clothes and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Second brother Guan is right. This food is not salted well like my old lady's. The salt is too stingy. You can't eat without eating."

Zhang Er didn't give up much, and kept sucking his fingers, almost swallowing them all in his stomach.

Although the words were very harsh, the two old brothers stretched their necks and looked in the direction of Dong Chu in unison.

The reason is very simple. Just now, Master Dai made it very clear to them that they can eat as much as they want today, as long as they are full.

In the past few years, the weather has been good, the harvest is good, the tax is not high, and the life is not bad.

But food always has to be carefully calculated and eaten carefully.

Especially in the past two months, it is the time when people are not receiving food, and everyone has not been able to open their bellies to eat for a long time.

How could I miss this opportunity today?
If you don't eat enough money, you will lose money.

The others are also ordinary people, so their ideas are similar to those of these two old brothers.

Now that they finished eating the cakes and vegetables in their hands, they all stretched their necks and looked in the same direction.

Not long after, the cook in the prime minister's mansion brought seven or eight wooden barrels with his servants, all of which were filled with bread and decree.

The people who were quiet just now started to commotion, and they all stood up.

Guan Er and Zhang San also closed the chatterbox, patted their buttocks and jumped up, fearing that others would take the initiative.

Immediately, the servants and the barrels containing the food were surrounded, and everyone was polite and reached out to get them.

Many people have one in their left hand, one in their right hand, and one in their mouth.

And some elderly women not only took it by themselves, but also secretly put it in their clothes, apparently wanting their family members to be honored by His Highness.

If it weren't for Dai Zong's desperate efforts to maintain order, the trampling would have already happened.

The cook of the Prime Minister's Mansion and his disciples were pushed away by people and almost fell over.

These two people have been cooking in the prime minister's mansion for more than ten years, and they have also organized many banquets, but they have never seen such a big scene.

"Master, this, this is probably not enough to eat!" the apprentice said.

"Is there any cake in the kitchen?"

The cook asked while wiping the sweat from his forehead, just now the master Zhang passed on the words of His Highness, so that everyone should be full.

If this matter is messed up, even if His Highness does not make trouble for him, Master He will not spare him.

"It's gone. Apart from sending some to His Highness in the main hall, they even brought all the lunch left for the cao. The envoys of the cao are also hungry!"

The best way at the moment is to go out and buy, or go to the East Kitchen of the county temple to get some.

But the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded, and they couldn't get out at all.

"Quickly, go steam the bean rice and bring it in a bucket!"

"Beans and rice?"

Bean rice is a staple food mixed with five grains and steamed. Although it is not as delicious as pancakes, it is more convenient to make.

"These people are ordinary people born with mud legs. Why can't they eat bean rice? Just make it quickly. If they start a disturbance and alarm His Highness and Minister Changyi in the main hall, you and I can't bear it. "

The story of Tian Bushi being tortured in court had already spread throughout the Xiangfu. Everyone knew that the big shots were in a bad mood, and no one wanted to touch this bad luck.

"No, I'll do it right away!" The apprentice was excited enough, he let go and jumped towards Dongchu like a rabbit.

At this time, the barrels for cakes and vegetables were already empty, and the cook took a second look and became more and more anxious.After thinking about it, he was still a little uneasy, and hurried towards Dongchu.

The common people in this yard are eating in full swing, but the atmosphere in the main hall is a bit cold.

The bloody instruments of torture had all been put away, and the blood on the floor had been wiped clean. Except for Chen Xiu, the other pawns were waiting outside the hall.

The entire main hall was restored to its original appearance, only Natian leaned on the table with disheveled hair and dejected spirit—his knees were beaten to pieces, so kneeling was no longer possible.

And the blood on his body and face had dried, turning from bright red to dark red.

Several people in the main hall did not speak, they were all silently nibbling on the cake in their hands.

At first, An Lexiang wanted Liu He to eat in the dining room, but he refused, so An Lexiang could only follow Liu He to eat cakes in the main hall.

Liu He didn't have a big appetite, and he was already full after eating two pancakes. He clapped his hands and wiped off the crumbs in his hands. After the rest of the people saw it, they also put away their hands and hadn't finished eating. cake.

"Your Highness, are you ready?" An Lexiang asked.

"Well, eat it. If you cut this cake open and put meat and vegetables inside, it must have a special flavor. Langzhong Yu has eaten it once, and it must be unforgettable for a lifetime." Liu He joked.

Yu Wuyou nodded, but the scene of the torture just now had not dissipated from his mind, so his appetite was not very good, and he only ate half a cake.

"Okay, An Qing, let's start, don't make our Tian Shijun wait impatiently."

Liu He deliberately emphasized the word "envoy", which scared Tian Busi so much that half of the cake in his hand almost fell off.

An Le straightened her body, patted Tang Mu hard, and asked Tian Buxie, "Tian Buxie, are you willing to plead guilty now, are you willing to make a confession?"

Tian Buzhi's broken lips trembled, and finally said vaguely: "The villain is willing to plead guilty and confess."
