I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

"Prefect Wen, I remember you are from Zhangsun Wuji's group, right?"

Cheng Qian suddenly changed the subject, his tone seemed relaxed, but it startled Wen Ruchu.

Hearing this, Wen Ruchu broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. His body trembled slightly and he knelt on the ground in panic: "Your Highness!

Although I was promoted by Lord Changsun, Your Highness's kindness to me is even greater than the heavens. I am loyal only to Your Highness the Crown Prince, and all officials in Xianyang are also loyal only to Your Highness the Crown Prince. Please understand this, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

His voice was trembling, for fear that Li Chengqian would not believe him.

"Hahaha, Governor Wen, you're too kind!" Li Chengqian walked forward with a smile and helped Wen Ruchu up.

"I just need help from Governor Wen. As usual, report my false information to Zhangsun Wuji. This time, add some details. Say that I'm ill and bedridden, and I'm afraid my end is near!"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Wen Ruchu, who had just stood up, fell to his knees with a plop. His face turned pale. "Your Highness, I dare not!"

"Just do whatever I tell you to do. I heard that Governor Wen likes to eat crispy candies recently. He couldn't sleep last night and got up to eat a piece. I asked someone to make some crispy candies. Remember to bring them when you go back." Li Chengqian's tone was unquestionable.

Wen Ruchu couldn't stop sweating. He knew that he couldn't refuse Li Chengqian's order, and his heart was filled with fear and helplessness.

Li Chengqian patted Wen Ruchu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Xian Huai, please see the guests off. Don't forget to bring the candy to Governor Wen."

Li Chengqian ordered.

Wen Ruchu walked out of the Prince's Palace in Xianyang trembling with fear. His steps were unsteady, as if every step was on cotton.

He felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell. The clothes on his back were already soaked with cold sweat and stuck tightly to his back, making him feel cold.

Looking back at the closed black gate, it seemed to him like a giant beast opening its blood-red maw, as if it wanted to devour him whole.

The patterns on the door resembled the ferocious fangs of a giant beast, exuding a chilling aura that seemed to threaten to engulf anyone who got any closer.

Wen Ruchu gave a helpless, bitter laugh, a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart. Everyone said that the Crown Prince was not dedicated to his duties, not concerned with state affairs, spending his days in debauchery and engaging in unbelievable things. He truly didn't seem like a wise ruler.

But only those who live in Xianyang City know how many strategies are hidden in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In just five years, Xianyang City has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The scenes of those arrogant and domineering officials and children of wealthy families running rampant in the streets of Xianyang City in the past seem to have happened just yesterday. They trampled on the dignity of the people, robbed the people's property, and made the entire Xianyang city a mess.

And now, those people who were once so arrogant are losing their heads one by one. The bloody yet satisfying scene is watched by officials and people all over the city.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Wen Ruchu still felt a little scared, and at the same time he was full of awe for Li Chengqian.

"Master Changsun, I'm sorry, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the one who is destined to succeed!"

Wen Ruchu said silently in his heart.

Thinking of this, his originally hurried steps became firm, and each step was carried out with a sense of determination, as if he had made up his mind to serve the wise leader in his heart.

……

"Sir, this secret report from Xianyang was delivered by Xianyang Governor Wen Ruchu on a fast horse!"

The servant hurried into Changsun Wuji's study, holding a secret letter in his hand and looking nervous.

"I understand!" Changsun Wuji nodded, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to take the secret report from the servant.
