How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Shen Yuan clearly remembered that in his previous life, Xie Chengze had a very strong possessiveness towards Wuhen and Wuji. He never lent them out, but he also beat, scolded and humiliated them very frequently, almost as ruthlessly and cruelly as training an animal.

He had also tried to persuade Wuhen and Wuji to rebel, but he did not expect that the two would rather endure all kinds of humiliation than swear allegiance to Xie Chengze until death.

Obviously their expressions and behaviors were normal, and they didn't look like they had lost their minds after being tamed.

Unable to figure it out, Shen Yuan stopped thinking about it and sent the drunk and asleep Xie Chengze back to the house. He took off the young man's shoes and white socks, wiped the smell of alcohol off his face with a wet towel, and then stuffed him into the quilt.

“I don’t know how much I drank.”

Looking at Xie Chengze's sleeping and drunken face, Shen Yuan couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face, with a bit of force as if to vent his feelings but unable to bear to use too much force.

It feels soft, with a hint of warmth, as smooth as cooked egg white, making you want to rub it a few more times.

The drunk young man frowned slightly because of the rubbing. He didn't know what he was dreaming about. He raised his hand and held Shen Yuan's hand on his face, whispering, "Si Si... is that you?"

Sisi?

Shen Yuan frowned, and an unknown emotion passed through his heart.

Who is Sisi?

Is she the one he likes? Is she a man or a woman?

Seeing Xie Chengze holding his hand and rubbing it gently, Shen Yuan couldn't help but recall the dream he had two months ago. He felt complicated and inexplicably jealous.

He asked, "Who is Sisi?"

"Sisi, I miss you so much..." Xie Chengze, who was in his sleep, didn't know whether he heard it or not. He continued to rub Shen Yuan's palm, but the expression on his face became more and more wrinkled, as if he was very aggrieved and sad. Finally, at a certain moment, a tear flowed from the corner of his tightly closed eyes and lightly fell on Shen Yuan's palm.

It's hot, but cools down quickly.

Shen Yuan felt as if his heart was pricked by a needle. It didn't hurt, but it was hard to ignore.

Xie Chengze...seems to like the person named Sisi very much.

Why have I never heard of it in my previous life?

Is it because of that person that he stays away from women?

Who is that person...

Just as Shen Yuan was trying hard to search for his memory, he suddenly heard Xie Chengze crying and mumbling in his sleep, "I told you it's dangerous outside... but you insisted on running out to find that little bitch. Now you've been hit by a car and are now crushed into a pancake..."

"How could he die so tragically...I can't even pick it up anymore, wuwuwu..."

Shen Yuan: ...

He really is... Shen Yuan was so angry that he laughed.

He actually mistook him for a male dog. Shen Yuan even suspected that he was pretending to be asleep and was taking the opportunity to ridicule him.

He pulled his hand out and pinched Xie Chengze's face hard again. Only then did Shen Yuan stand up with satisfaction and leave the room.

Inside the house, Xie Chengze quickly relaxed his brows and fell into another dream.

-

The next day, the students woke up from their drunken stupor, packed their bags, and prepared to return home.

Xie Chengze also got up early and came to the city gate of Jiangdu County to see them off.

"Brother Cheng, you'd better not send us off."

The students gathered at the city gate, looking at Xie Chengze who was yawning and looked like he hadn't woken up yet, and said with concern, "You stayed until the end last night and drank a lot of wine. How can your body withstand it? You should go back and sleep a little longer."

"No problem, no problem!" Xie Chengze waved his hands and said frankly, "Why should I sleep for a long time when I am alive? I will sleep forever after I die!"

Students: ...

Students: ???

Brother Cheng, this is not the way you write poetry!

However, considering that Xie Chengze was just a dandy young man who liked traveling, it was normal for his poetry style to be a bit unconventional. Moreover, these two short poems were indeed very interesting, and some people even deduced a lot of profound metaphors from them.

For example, Bian Yangchun was writing a poem at this moment, and he shouted loudly among the crowd:

The emperor asked about the flood in Minjiang River, and the wise men went to Shuchuan. How to deal with the flood in the west and the desolation in the east? Listen to my detailed explanation.

The power of nature can be seen in splitting the river and changing the river course. The ambition of Yugong moved the mountains and rivers, and it is true that man can conquer nature!

You don’t need to sleep long when you are alive, and you should study hard. You should be the first to speak up for the people, and you will be able to sleep peacefully after you die! "

The poem was so passionate that countless students cheered. Ouyang Jiu could only sigh, "There should be a pipa and a zither to play a piece for this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a long and heavy music was heard, which seemed to come from far away outside the city. Everyone turned around and saw a man in black palace clothes riding on a tall horse on the long road. He was the first to appear in their sight.

Immediately afterwards, behind him, a number of magnificent and tall horse-drawn carriages, not like those used by ordinary people, gradually appeared in everyone's sight to the sound of a long zither. On the carriages, fireworks wrapped in red silk were tied to mahogany boxes. It was unknown what expensive items were loaded on them. They were moving slowly towards the city gate of Jiangdu County.

"Who is that? What a grand ceremony!"

The students all looked over, wondering which important figure had come to Yizhou for inspection. Xie Chengze was also very curious, so he moved forward and craned his neck to watch the fun.

Until the main force approached, he looked at the familiar official uniform of the man on the horse and racked his brains to think where he had seen it before, when suddenly his head started buzzing.

Shit! I remember now!

This is the fucking dragon guard of that damn emperor!

Xie Chengze immediately turned around and ran, but unexpectedly, there was a man in the carriage in the front with sharper eyes than him. He jumped down from the carriage, lifted up his robe and chased after Xie Chengze!

At the same time, he shouted: "Your Highness! Second Prince! Don't run——!"

Students:?

What Second Prince?

The young eunuch in eunuch uniform hurriedly grabbed Xie Chengze, who was running anxiously in the crowd, and said breathlessly, "Oh, my Second Prince! Why are you running? I am here by order to bring you all the delicacies from the imperial kitchen!"

Due to the long journey and hot weather, a lot of fresh food went bad along the way, so they purchased new ones as they went along. This delayed them for more than two months, and they only arrived in Jiangdu County today.

According to His Majesty's order, he had to commend the Second Prince in public to show Emperor Jian's favor for him.

Xie Chengze was already numb.

He really didn't expect that Emperor Jian would actually move the imperial kitchen here.

The reason why Emperor Jian did this was only one-third out of favoritism, and the other seven-tenths was definitely to ruin his reputation and make the people of Yizhou think that he was a wasteful and pleasure-seeking prince, and thus have a bad impression of him.

But rather...

He said that Zhu Xiaobiao, who moved mountains and split rivers, was his man, Jing Ze, who infiltrated the students, was his man, and Liang Zhifu, who solved the famine of refugees, was also his man, and even he himself, who got to know the students by drinking -

All these things show that the Tianfu Project is inextricably linked to him!

But as long as he doesn't admit it, others will not be able to confirm that he is indeed involved. When he returns to Beijing, all the good reputation will fall on Liang Wanda and Shen Yuan, and he will still be the mediocre and slightly bad second prince, and will not be stared at or disturbed by the corrupt hyenas.

But at this moment, Emperor Jian, this big loser, exposed his true identity in front of everyone!

As we all know, the common people have a mysterious filter for the emperor and the princes. For example, the emperor and the princes must be much more knowledgeable than ordinary people and officials.

Before the Second Prince came to Yizhou, no one had come up with the idea of ​​opening up the mountains and splitting the river. But after the Second Prince came, the flood in the Minjiang River was easily resolved. If it wasn't his idea, who else could have come up with it?

Thinking about it more carefully, it is well known that Emperor Jian dotes on the Second Prince. Now Emperor Jian is likely to make the Second Prince famous, so he specifically announced to all students that this year's exam topic is about flood control in Yizhou, so that students rushed to Yizhou to study, just in time to admire the Second Prince's talent...

Even the Second Prince himself said that he likes traveling. Isn't it true that only people who like traveling can understand the natural philosophy between mountains and rivers and better understand how to control flood disasters?

It can be said that the young eunuch's shout completely confirmed that Xie Chengze was "Li Bing", the real man behind the scenes who solved the refugee famine, drought in the east and floods in the west, and made Yizhou a land of abundance!

So what's the point of a mere imperial kitchen delicacy? The Second Prince deserves it!!!

Xie Chengze turned his head stiffly. As expected, the faces of the students had already changed completely. They stared at him with burning eyes. Many of them knelt down and worshiped him, saying, "We pay our respects to the Second Prince. May the Second Prince live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

Xie Chengze: ...

The dog emperor hurt me!!!
