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

There are still many details that need to be finalized regarding the disaster in Yizhou, such as rebuilding houses with river sand and stones, turning over and drying farmland affected by floods, confirming the locations of various branches of the downstream river, and preparing for the cold weather due to heavy snow in winter. Xie Chengze gave suggestions as much as possible.

Fortunately, he had just entered university before he traveled through time, and a lot of his knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry had not yet been formatted. In addition, with the assistance of talented craftsmen recruited from the public, these problems were eventually properly solved.

He did not let Liang Wanda go, and urged him every day to write down all the theories of the plan.

Xie Chengze often said, "Lao Liang, you must study hard and use it well, so that you can live up to my expectations of you in the future!"

Liang Wanda just thought that this was the Second Prince spurring him on to assist him wholeheartedly when he became an official in the future. In addition, he had personally experienced and witnessed the struggle of the people and the flood control of the Minjiang River. It was hard not to be moved by such a scene and recalled his ambition to study when he was young.

At the beginning, he had thought about serving as an official and benefiting the people. However, the road to officialdom is full of thorns and it is difficult for one to walk alone. He followed the wrong master and took the wrong path. By the time he turned back, he had committed countless crimes and there was no way back.

But God gave him another chance to choose another wise ruler.

Liang Wanda did not want to give up this opportunity, or perhaps he had no other choice. When he decided to follow the Second Prince's advice and use the students to build momentum for himself, he had completely become a member of the Second Prince's faction and could only work for the Second Prince.

But at least, he can survive and wash off the dirt on his hands bit by bit, instead of being used as a target of criticism and having his body torn apart at any given moment.

Liang Wanda knew very well that not everyone had such an opportunity, so he had to hold on to this life-saving straw and diligently complete the tasks ordered by the Second Prince in order to have a chance to turn things around.

As for why he was so confident that the Second Prince would protect him, it was because when he passed by the backyard that day, he accidentally overheard the conversation between the Second Prince and Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan wanted to write a letter to settle accounts for his previous corruption and lawlessness, but the Second Prince sternly refused, saying that he was his man and nothing must happen to him, and asked Shen Yuan to help keep these things secret. The two even quarreled over this matter and did not speak to each other for several days.

But Liang Wanda was already certain that he was really the Second Prince's man.

In the end, Shen Yuan agreed to stop interfering in his affairs and let the Second Prince handle it on his own.

The Second Prince is so protective of him, he cannot let him down!

Therefore, Liang Wanda worked harder, studying the geographical advantages of Yizhou all night long, and successfully lost a lot of hair.

And Xie Chengze lived up to his expectations. He found him that day and said, "Lao Liang, now that you have become my servant, your old master will definitely not let you go. So, when the time comes, you can write a letter and say this or that..."

Xie Chengze leaned close to his ear and muttered a lot, then patted Liang Wanda's shoulder, "This way, they won't touch you."

Liang Wanda: Oh~oh oh~!

Second Highness! You are indeed the one!

In this way, those people will indeed be tempted, and may even think that he is still theirs. What he did before was just a temporary change of sides forced by the situation, but it was also a decision made after careful consideration. After all, the final result is that they can indeed gain greater benefits from it in the future.

but……

Why do I feel that the Second Prince’s words and tone just now are somewhat familiar?

I feel like I've seen it somewhere...

Liang Wanda, who had no idea what a pie in the sky was, thought about it silently, but ultimately gave up because he couldn't remember.

-

Everything in Yizhou has been arranged, and it is time for Xie Chengze to set off for the capital.

The imperial food convoy sent by Emperor Jian that day caused too much noise, and now the people in all the counties had spread the news that he was the current Second Prince. Therefore, when they heard that he was returning to the capital, they came in groups to see him off.

There were also many people who held Zhu Xiaobiao's hand and were reluctant to leave, telling him to eat more after returning to Beijing and not to eat too little.

Xie Chengze smiled and waved goodbye to them, but after returning to the carriage, his expression instantly became gloomy.

Now that his identity has been exposed, the news may have spread to the capital. I'm afraid the days ahead will not be peaceful.

The facts were exactly as he had expected. On the way back to Beijing, no matter how the carriage changed routes, it was assassinated one after another.

Most of these assassins went straight for Shen Yuan, with a very clear target, but they all turned and fled because they were no match for him. There were also a few waves of assassins that were more scattered, and some even went for Xie Chengze, but fortunately they were dealt with by Wuhen, and the assassins didn't even touch a corner of Xie Chengze's clothes.

When they were almost reaching the capital, there was one man in the last wave of assassins who had extremely high martial arts skills. He not only suppressed Wuhen, but also stabbed Xie Chengze.

The bright red blood instantly soaked his gorgeous clothes. Xie Chengze, who was already weak from the long journey, turned pale as a sheet of paper and fainted due to the pain.

Fortunately, the stab wound did not penetrate the bone, and the accompanying doctor stopped the bleeding and bandaged it in time, so his life was not in danger. However, Xie Chengze remained unconscious, and the assassin took advantage of the chaos to escape.

When the news of the second prince's assassination reached the palace, Emperor Jian was furious and ordered the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case of the assassination of the second prince and to show no leniency to the person behind the scenes.

Chenghuan Palace.

On the elegant ebony bed, the "unconscious" Xie Chengze was sitting with his legs crossed, looking at the sky. Wuhen and Wuji were kneeling on the ground, one was peeling a tangerine peel, and the other was lying on the edge of the couch, sobbing.

After a while, Xie Chengze turned around helplessly and said, "Brother, you haven't cried enough? I've heard enough."

“Your Highness…” Wu Ji raised his watery peach blossom eyes and said angrily, “It’s all my fault that I wasn’t by your side at the time. Wu Hen, this useless bastard, couldn’t even defeat an assassin! Fire him!”

Wuhen looked up blankly:?

Xie Chengze twitched his lips slightly: What are you talking about, you real assassin?

Wuhen realized that he was being framed, and immediately said in a cold tone, "Let's go out and compete?"

"Oh, I'm afraid of you?" Wu Ji quickly shrank closer to Xie Chengze, "I'm afraid that if I get hurt, His Highness will feel sorry for me, so I won't compete with you."

Although his lightness skill was better than Wuhen's, his martial arts were not as good as Wuhen's. If Wuhen had not deliberately exposed his flaw at that time, how could he have found the opportunity to really stab His Highness.

"Your Highness, does it hurt?" Wu Ji poked Xie Chengze's left arm, which was tied up with a white gauze strip. He successfully heard Xie Chengze take a breath and gritted his teeth at him, "What do you think?"

Wu Ji smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Who told you to always come up with bad ideas? This time you even used your own body to get involved. If you are afraid of them, why don't you let Wu Hen and I kill them all?"

Didn't he and Wuhen go through so much hardship to hone their martial arts just to allow His Highness to do whatever he wanted?

"Do you like killing people so much?" Xie Chengze sighed, "But I don't want you to kill people again, or you'll have nightmares."

Wu Ji was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he lowered his eyelashes, leaned his head on Xie Chengze's fingertips, and whispered, "Your Highness, it's a nightmare when you're not around."
