After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

Cheng Jin said: "It suddenly occurred to me that if he really takes over the position of Ningzhou Shipping Department on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, will Chu Huai'an deliberately cause a big fuss?"

"that's for sure."

Chu Chengye sat on the chair next to him, nodded and said, "Recently, those people around Chu Huai'an have been fighting over the position of Shipping Department. If they really knew that I gave the position to Song Geng, they would definitely After finding out Song Geng's shortcomings, I will not be allowed to make this decree."

"Yes." Cheng Jin approached Chu Chengye and sat down next to Chu Chengye.

"So now I will pretend to choose one of them and let them fight among themselves for a while."

"Now that the government has retired, they are still giving me endless discounts because of the position of the City Shipping Department. If the position of the City Shipping Department falls into the hands of any of them, I don't know how much they will suffer from it. There’s a kickback.”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."

Cheng Jin nodded and took advantage of Chu Chengye not paying attention to what he was saying and smoothed the hairpin out of Chu Chengye's hand.

As soon as Cheng Jin touched Chu Chengye's hand, Chu Chengye lowered his eyes to look at her. Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin up and down, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Jin retracted his hand in embarrassment, "Hahaha, the emperor's hands are really beautiful. They are slender and straight, with clear joints. They are beautiful, beautiful."

"I can't help myself."

Chu Chengye ignored Cheng Jin's words and looked in the direction of Chu Zhurui.

"No one should know about Song Gengnian's work report later. When he comes to the capital, you should arrange more manpower to protect him, lest anyone in the capital hears about it."

Chu Zhurui said hello.

As the new year approaches, Chu Huai'an's mansion is not so clean.

Those officials from the DPRK and Central Government came to Chu Huai'an's house every day, hoping to use Chu Huai'an's words to change things to their own advantage.

These people all voluntarily and explicitly assisted Chu Huai'an. They handed Chu Chengye a lot of discounts, and Chu Chengye always sent them a few words. Some of them could not help but suspect that someone had told Chu Chengye that they were not good people.

They appear to be in harmony, but in fact they are suspicious of each other.

Seeing that things are still uncertain and they are not having a good year this year, they can only ask Chu Huai'an's family to give him a good solution.

Chu Huai'an comforted everyone who came to his house, and his words were basically the same.

"My lord, there is no need to be anxious about this matter. It will be settled soon."

Chu Huaian can wait, but they can't wait. Even if he can't get it, he doesn't want others to get it.

Some people stopped drinking tea and stood up to salute Chu Huai'an, "Fifth Prince, it's not that we are in a hurry. It's really that we can't delay this matter any longer. I don't have to be the shipping company. In fact, if I really If you do it, then I can do better things for the prince."

"Now that the emperor insists on turning the wine industry into an official business, many of us have lost a way to make money. When doing things in the court, there is nothing that does not require money."

"I don't need to tell you. The prince must also know how much money can be made from Ningzhou's trade. It's like gold falling on the ground. I also think that I can get more money to work for the prince."

Chu Huaian stepped forward and helped the gentleman up, listened carefully to what he had to say, and then said, "I know your painstaking efforts."

"You go back first, I will find out more about this matter."

The man wanted to say something else, but Chu Huaian had already extended his hand, so he had to give up.

After everyone had left, a man walked out of the screen. His hair was half a century old, he stroked his beard and chuckled:

"Your Majesty, why are you still keeping this kind of person around? If you really believe what he says, you will be able to be used by your Majesty if you get the position of Shibo Division."

The smile on Chu Huai'an's face changed instantly as he watched those people walking away. He sat on the chair with a sullen face and sneered:

"How is it possible? He took so much effort to beg this merchant, but he only begged for himself, for this king? What they had in mind has long been obvious. They just wanted to gain a good reputation through this king. That’s all.”

Yan Zheng walked to Chu Huai'an and said, "So what does the prince plan to do?"

"Really seek the position of Shipping Director for those people to satisfy their greed."

Chu Huaian immediately denied it and said: "How is it possible? I am not a fool."

"Besides, although the Queen Mother and Wan Xin are both in the harem, Chu Chengye has never been close to the Queen Mother. No matter how hard the Queen Mother probes, she can't find out what Chu Chengye is talking about."

"So, I don't know what Chu Chengye means now."

Yan Zheng shook his head and said, "No, there is another person in the harem?"

Chu Huaian was startled and turned to look at Yan Zheng, "What do you mean, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Zheng nodded towards.

Chu Huaian stood up immediately, a little excited, and retorted: "No."

"Wan Xin and I were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. How could I allow Wan Xin to be favored for my own selfish desires?"

"I said that when I conquer this world, she will be my only queen."

Yan Zheng said: "Since the prince has the intention to take back the world, he should know what is beneficial to him."

"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. If the prince is unwilling to give up even this little thing, this throne, and this world, I advise him to give up."

"Miss Qu is a member of the harem. Even if she is not favored now, it will be a matter of time before she sleeps with you. If you can be favored earlier, you can work for the prince earlier, and you can reunite as soon as possible."

Chu Huaian was silent for a long time, but did not agree immediately.

Yan Zheng continued: "Isn't it just to get the throne that the prince asked Yan to come out? Since he is so ambitious, how can he be so hesitant?"

"Your Majesty told me that Yan was highly recommended by Miss Qu, so I think Miss Qu will also recommend you to Your Majesty immediately."

"Now, although most people in this dynasty are willing to submit to the prince, the prince has also seen that those are useless people and nothing can be accomplished by relying on them."

"Although on the surface it seems that there are few people in the court who are loyal to the emperor, the military and political affairs are now in the hands of the emperor himself, and there are several ministers in the court who are in charge of the emperor. In fact, the prince does not have many benefits."

Chu Huaian clenched his fists and supported the table with his back to Yan Zheng, as if he was making up his mind.

Yan Zheng continued: "Now that Ningzhou will be open to trade, the people in Ningzhou will naturally be full of praise for the emperor. At that time, the people who belong to the prince will become the emperor. No matter how unfair the emperor's position is, If you don’t agree with your words, you are still the emperor of the world.”

Chu Huaian retorted: "No, I should be the emperor of this world."

"I will go to Beijing tomorrow to tell my mother and Wan Xin to help Wan Xin get favored. I believe Wan Xin will be considerate of me."

Yan Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "This is the one who achieves great things. What must the prince give up? Miss Qu is the minimum price."
