Chapter 416 Something Happened in the East Palace
Seeing Qian Chongen's somewhat regretful look and seeing nothing unusual, Wang Changxing felt relieved.
At the same time, I couldn't help feeling proud. This official position almost became yours, and I had to be inferior to you. However, after all the twists and turns, he still had the upper hand.
All I can say is that things are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people. But Qian Chongen, he doesn't have this kind of fate!
"I would like to congratulate Lord Wang on his successful career and rapid advancement!" Qian Chongen's face was full of emotion, but he still had a smile on his face.
When he returned home in the afternoon, Qian Chongen didn't say a word in the carriage. He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but his brows were furrowed.
"Teacher?" Jiang Youzhen called softly.
"Yeah!" He opened his eyes and saw Jiang Youzhen's worried look, and his expression relaxed.
"I'm fine, but I feel that a person's temperament can change so drastically in such a short period of time. Wang Changxing used to be such a cautious and humble person! Now, he has not even taken office yet, but he has become so impetuous, he is completely different from before."
Through his conversation with Wang Changxin just now, he carefully observed Wang Changxing's expression and tone. At this moment, he was very sure that Wang Changxing was inseparable from his current situation.
"He has been testing me, his eyes are full of calculation." Qian Chongen was very disappointed that his former friend had become like this.
"Because he feels guilty! That's why he keeps testing you." Jiang Youzhen sneered.
"Do you think they will believe us? If they become suspicious, will you be in danger?"
These people could even kill him, let alone Jiang Youzhen.
"Teacher, don't worry! They may still have some doubts now, but after tomorrow, how can they still think about whether what we say is true or false? No one can escape the temptation of fame and fortune."
Jiang Youzhen is very confident that he will eradicate them completely this time.
The next day, Pan Changye found Jiang Youzhen writing furiously.
He quietly walked behind Jiang Youzhen and found that she was not copying the notes, but was doing policy questions.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Youzhen stood up quickly, she was a little flustered.
"I'm sorry, Master! I've already copied the notes before writing the questions."
Jiang Youzhen pushed the paper aside and said, "Yesterday you and Lord Wang talked about the court's predicament. After I went back, I thought about it and felt that if I wanted to build water conservancy projects, I had to solve the financial problem. After a night of hard thinking, I came up with some ideas. I also remembered that the court had asked a question about water conservancy in a previous provincial examination, so I wanted to write it down."
"Oh? Let me see!"
"Just a few humble opinions, please give me some advice, sir." Jiang Youzhen handed them over respectfully.
Pan Changye took it and looked at it. The more he read, the more frightened he became. The more he read, the more delighted he became. His eyes lit up. If he presented this plan to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then why would he worry about having no future?
"Master, what's the matter?" Jiang Youzhen asked nervously.
Pan Changye coughed lightly, "You are very talented, good at questioning, and quite knowledgeable about current affairs. But you are still young, and sometimes you can't help being naive.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. You should go out more often to broaden your horizons so that your articles will not be empty. The suggestions you put forward are not bad, but they are difficult to implement. "
He memorized Jiang Youzhen's article firmly in his mind, took a final look at it, and then returned the article to Jiang Youzhen.
"keep it up!"
Jiang Youzhen looked at his back and sneered. This old guy actually wanted to take all the credit.
Fortunately, things are almost done and we are just waiting to close the net.
After Pan Changye walked around the study, he hurried out and walked quickly towards the study room.
He returned to his study, his face already filled with ecstasy that he could not hide. This was to help the court solve the problem of money for opening the canal, wasn't it a greater contribution than getting the road map?
He immediately picked up his pen and began to write, preparing a letter to be sent to the capital.
In the Fourth Prince's mansion, the Fourth Prince was about to have the house deed delivered to Tongzhou Prefecture, but he didn't expect Yuan Shang to walk in hurriedly.
"Your Highness! As expected, the Crown Prince sent people to the direction of Tongzhou Prefecture last night, including his aide Zhong Houliang and several assassins. But when our people tried to intercept them, they didn't expect that several masked men in black would chase after them, all of whom were very skilled.
Their goal was the same as ours. After they worked together to deal with the assassins, they captured Zhong Houliang and quickly retreated. "
"Captured Zhonghou Liang?" The Fourth Prince seemed to be thinking about something.
"Yes! We chased them, but unfortunately we couldn't find any trace of them when we reached the outskirts of South City, so we had no choice but to return."
"What are the characteristics of those people?" The Fourth Prince pondered, and a figure flashed in his mind.
“No! We didn’t say a word during the whole process, but we cooperated very well.” Yuan Shang shook his head.
"Could it be the second brother? In this capital, besides us, he is the only one who cares about Jiang Youzhen's safety. But they have arrested Zhong Houliang, so it's hard to say. Maybe there are other forces."
The fourth prince said with some regret: "That Zhonghou Liang does have some abilities. If we had captured him, he would have known a lot of the Crown Prince's secrets and could have served us. What a pity!"
"Your Highness! Otherwise, let's track it down again. Maybe there are hidden clues."
"Forget it! Let him be! Anyway, the prince is already busy with his own affairs. That one crime alone is enough to make him die a hundred times. The other things are insignificant."
The Fourth Prince shook his head and said, "Keep keeping a close eye on the East Palace to prevent the Crown Prince from taking desperate measures. After all, he has even sent Zhong Houliang out, which shows that he has reached the end of his rope.
The prince's followers all want to protect themselves. Seeing that the empire is about to collapse, they only want to protect themselves. The prince is isolated and helpless!"
The Fourth Prince snorted coldly, but some of his followers were making a dying struggle.
Then, another hurried sound of footsteps was heard.
"Your Highness! Something has happened in the East Palace. It has been surrounded by people from the Military Affairs Department and the Dali Temple. No one can enter."
"What's going on?" The fourth prince was stunned. It couldn't be that fast! He was still waiting for news from the border!
Five days later, Wang Changxing packed his bags and was loading them onto the truck.
"Master! We will not return to the capital city when we go to Jiangnan this time. We still have to leave someone to take care of this house. Otherwise, when we come back, the house will be in ruins."
Mrs. Wang Changxing was in high spirits. Her husband was promoted to the magistrate of Huailin County in Shengnan Prefecture. He was no longer a low-ranking official. She also transformed herself into the wife of an official.
"Mom! Who knows, in three years, Dad might get promoted again. We don't know how long we can live in this house! It's possible that we won't be able to live here in the future, and it's very likely that we'll go to the capital."
Wang Zhou could no longer conceal his inner ecstasy. His father said that now that they have become descendants of the crown prince, why should they worry about their future?
"Hey~Don't talk nonsense. Don't talk nonsense outside!" Wang Changxing said with a smile.
A person not far away watched the situation here carefully and sneered.
"Go and report the news!" He turned around and ordered the people behind him.
"Yes!"
