Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

If it had happened before, it would have been fine. Zou Wu would have chosen to turn a blind eye when she didn’t know how to deal with it.

But now that she has found the method, and it is estimated to be feasible, Zou Wu is determined to give it a try no matter what.

The prefect on the other side continued: “It is not easy to divide the original dam pier into three parts. If so, wouldn’t all the previous efforts be in vain?”

This is the first time I heard that a gap was smashed into three, and it is also the first time I heard that the gaps became more and more blocked.

Originally we were just going to block one, but now the dam pier is divided into three, doesn’t that mean we need to block three?

Wouldn’t the prefect think that the girl in front of him was fooling around?

But in fact, ordinary wood and stone are powerless to deal with a 50-metre-wide river. Dividing it into three parts and treating each part as a whole is equivalent to dividing the water flow into three parts.

If there is only one portion, the water flow is too large to be blocked. Is it possible that one third cannot be blocked?

Taking risks is inevitable, but if this continues, it is only a matter of time before the dam collapses completely.

After her thoughts were opened, Zou Wu’s mind became clearer and clearer, and she could not help but argue with the prefect.

But unfortunately, no one had ever done this before, and the prefect relied on past experience and refused to give in no matter what.

Seeing that time was dragging on, the already broken dam was becoming more and more shaky and could collapse completely at any time. Zou Wu became anxious.

Most people won’t cry until they see the coffin. They would rather deceive themselves and let it rot than eliminate the stubborn disease by self-mutilation.

Although the dam was rotten at the moment, it was still effective. What if the other two gaps were opened and it was completely ruined?

Zou Wu was finally forced to send a letter to the imperial envoy directly by carrier pigeon, bypassing the prefect.

Today’s imperial envoy is the eyes and ears of Emperor Jingwen, and like Emperor Jingwen, he is a man of swift and decisive actions. In addition, the flood is an urgent matter. After careful consideration, he is sure that it will not be able to be stopped by traditional methods, so he makes a prompt decision and decides to take a risk.

After the reply came, if I tried to stop it, I would have to bear the consequences myself. But if the imperial envoy agreed, then if there was any problem, it would be the imperial envoy who would bear the consequences myself.

After seeing the reply, the prefect knew that his official hat was saved, so he stopped making things difficult for Zou Wu.

Zou Wu gave an order, and the others began to move.

In this way, under Zou Wu’s command, the first gap was successfully blocked, and then the second, and when it came to the third, everyone’s heart was in their throat. After all, whether the flood could be successfully stopped here depended entirely on this last one.

It did take a little more effort to plug the last gap than the first two, but it was finally successful.

It actually worked!

Standing on the shore, faintly listening to the cheers of the river workers in the distance, the prefect couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

It’s amazing…

Surrounded by everyone in the centre, ignoring the unanimous voices of admiration and compliments around her, she stared blankly at the river that was no longer spreading. At this moment, the teacher whom she had never met before was like a god in Zou Wu’s eyes.

In the next two days, the weather was cloudy and rainy, and when it rained, the riverbed continued to rise.

Even though the dam had been successfully blocked, everyone couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat when they saw this scene.

If the water level rises again, it will inevitably cause a second dam breach. At that time, this method may not be effective.

Everyone, including Zou Wu, prayed madly in their hearts day and night.

Finally, on the third day, the sky cleared up, and the intermittent rainfall that had lasted for more than half a month finally came to an end.

And the flood was finally stopped here successfully by them.

Such a feat is truly shocking.

After the storm, the eight people seemed to be reborn. Their will became stronger and stronger. The childish innocence on their faces gradually disappeared, and finally a hidden determination was revealed.

Even the imperial envoy couldn’t help but sigh when seeing this scene, saying that the young are to be feared.

Thinking of the emperor’s previous instructions, the imperial envoy pondered for a moment, and finally compiled his own observations and the voices of his subordinates, and then sent them to Shangjing along with the disaster situation at full speed.

Despite the tireless work day and night, the imperial envoy’s letter was delivered to Emperor Jingwen’s desk in just a day and a half.

After seeing the three cities being flooded, now Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I caught up in the end.

Because of advance preparations, the losses caused by this incident were not great, far from being serious. In addition, Emperor Jingwen had been in power for so many years, and the national treasury was still relatively full. It would take a period of recuperation for the country to recover.

But if you don’t prepare in advance, the outcome will be unpredictable.

But the more this happened, the more complicated Emperor Jingwen’s mood became. When he saw that the first person to bring up this matter was Zeng Mohuai, Emperor Jingwen suddenly became very conflicted.

How can’t we use such good talent for our own benefit?

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Emperor Jingwen quickly looked at the next letter. However, he couldn’t help but read it. When he saw Zou Wu and the other eight, he stood up suddenly.

“God bless my Great Zhou!”

Although the flood caused a lot of losses to the imperial court, it is comforting that these young heroes emerged.

Except for Zou Wu, the performances of the others were also quite impressive, which was a blessing in disguise, so much so that Emperor Jingwen felt sincerely surprised.

Especially at this critical juncture, the envoys will arrive in a few days. The flood was successfully contained on the eve of the envoys’ arrival. Doesn’t it just prove that God does not want to destroy the Great Zhou?

“The flood receded in time. This is a sign of great prosperity, a sign of great prosperity!”

When a dynasty prospers, many heroes emerge. If I remember correctly, the oldest of these eight people was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the youngest was only twelve or thirteen years old.

They were all young talents, the likes of which could not be produced even by an ordinary emperor during his many years in office. There were even fewer historical records about them. Zou Wu and the others happened to all be from the Great Zhou. It was hard for Emperor Jingwen not to wonder whether this was a reward from God for his diligent governance of the country over the years.

All in all, this is not a bad thing.

After so many days, His Majesty finally smiled. Prime Minister He and the others were also very happy: “Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!”

“God bless the Great Zhou, long live our emperor!”

Emperor Jingwen looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was thinking in his heart that although these eight people were still young, their significance was extraordinary.

Especially since the envoys from Beiting are about to arrive and the flood has just passed, the Great Zhou cannot afford to show any weakness.

Talent is also a way to demonstrate a country’s strength and prove that a country has successors.

Especially since these eight people are so young, they are even more different from ordinary people.

As he thought about this, an idea flashed through Emperor Jingwen’s mind, and then he said, “Pass on my order to summon these eight people to the capital.”

In addition to showing Zou Wu and others to Beiting, Emperor Jingwen also planned to strike first to avoid delaying for too long and letting others reap the benefits.

He Xiang and the others quickly understood what Emperor Jingwen meant. While they were amazed, they also agreed with it very much.

Zeng Mohuai’s disciples have rarely been those who play power games. As long as they are not in competition with them, the more such talents there are, the better. The more the better, and the Great Zhou will become more prosperous.

So that was settled.

When they received the news, Zou Wu and the others were in disbelief for a moment.

You have to know that three years ago, they were still orphans wandering around the border. In just over three years, they have come into the emperor’s sight.

But at the same time, they were also very clear that most of the credit for being appreciated by the emperor was due to their two teachers.

Under the guidance of Master Zeng and the deliberate selection of Wei Wen, Zou Wu and others were influenced by them and actually did not have much desire for power.

They still prefer the atmosphere of discussing academics with seniors and teachers. The sense of accomplishment when they work together and successfully verify a certain formula is incomparable to anything else.

Zeng Mohuai is devoted to research, and the students he teaches are naturally no less capable.

Therefore, Zou Wu and others were only slightly excited, and after calming down, they felt that it was nothing.

They even worried about what would happen if they could never come back. Before they came out, the formula at hand was only half proved, and the other half had not been verified yet. They didn’t know how long it would take to go back and forth.

In fact, Zeng Mohuai was reluctant to part with these eight people. They were such good assistants and much smarter than his eldest disciples.

But think about it, these people are not his real students, but are sent to him by others for foster care. Even if Zeng Mohuai is reluctant in his heart, he can’t go against the one in the capital.

Seeing that the eight people seemed somewhat reluctant, Zeng Mohuai changed their attitude instantly with just one sentence –

“The other teacher you have been talking about is now in Shangjing City.”

Zou Wu and the others opened their eyes wide almost instantly.

Doesn’t this mean that as long as they arrive in Shangjing City, they will be able to see the mysterious and powerful teacher they have always been thinking about? ?

Zou Wu and the others were immediately as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they became excited at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, what Zeng Mohuai did not say was that their so-called teachers were actually younger than them.

I just hope they won’t be too surprised by then…

The other side.

During these days, Ye Shuo’s one hand was almost worn out from writing. From the disaster area to here, he received an average of ten letters a day, and Ye Shuo had answered at least dozens of questions.

Now that he finally heard the news that the flood had receded, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s finally over…

Finally I can take a break.

At this moment, the brain waves of the father and son strangely overlapped.

Even the strongest person could not stand such high-intensity work, so Emperor Jingwen thought about it and finally decided to give himself half a day off to come and relax with the imperial concubine.

When Emperor Jingwen arrived, Ye Shuo was just about to go out, and the father and son almost bumped into each other.

Wang Ziquan subconsciously stood in front of Emperor Jingwen. After reacting, Wang Ziquan was stunned: “Ninth Prince?”

“Your servant greets His Majesty the Ninth Prince.”

Emperor Jingwen also noticed the huge dark circles under his son’s eyes. Subconsciously, he frowned and blurted out: “How did you become like this? Did you become a thief?”

Ye Shuo was exhausted from doing homework continuously. He finally had some free time to go to the Imperial Garden for some fresh air, but he was caught red-handed and was mistaken for a thief: “…………”
