Chu Zhurui glanced at Cheng Jin and wanted to say something, but he held it back.

Cheng Jin frowned slightly when he saw that he was holding back a lot, and asked, "What's wrong? If the Eleventh Prince has anything to say, please tell me directly."

Chu Zhurui took two steps towards Cheng Jin, closing the distance between the two people. He glanced at Chu Chengye who had not come out of the room, and then spoke out boldly.

"Sister-in-law, there is something different about you this time."

Cheng Jin said: "It's different. What's the difference?"

Chu Zhurui said directly: "I still like that when the emperor's wife was hiding from the fortune teller when I first met her, she didn't shy away from who I was and felt more comfortable, otherwise it would be too boring."

Chu Zhurui didn't like the rigid rules in the palace, so he hid in Ningzhou for many years without entering the capital and imprisoned himself.

Chu Chengye knew his temper and hardly said any words to discipline him, which made Chu Zhurui feel more at ease. He originally thought that Cheng Jin was also a person who was free and unwilling to be restrained, but she also followed the rules.

But Chu Zhurui could see that Cheng Jin was not the kind of person who followed the rules.

Cheng Jin put on a smile, straightened his back, and said immediately: "Okay."

[Whatever attitude you want, we have it here. 】

Chu Zhurui: "..."

Chu Zhurui didn't say much to Cheng Jin here. He just chatted for a few words and then left the palace to look for Song Geng.

In fact, Chu Zhurui was not an outsider. Sometimes Cheng Jin couldn't figure out the temperament of this gangster. He didn't know his identity before and what he had done. After knowing his identity as the prince, he became more cautious. Only then did he pretend to be law-abiding.

I can no longer pretend anymore.

Seeing that Chu Zhurui was gone, Cheng Jin took the initiative to enter the Yangxin Hall.

When he first entered the door, Cheng Jin didn't see too clearly. He only saw a man in dark clothes bending down and picking something up with his butt stuck out.

When he saw Cheng Jin, he immediately straightened his spine and put his hands behind his back in panic.

Chu Chengye rarely spoke with a stutter, "You're here."

Cheng Jin nodded and looked at the mess on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up. She only glanced around and heard Chu Chengye explain: "I accidentally touched it."

As Chu Chengye said this, he did not give Cheng Jin a chance to ask any more questions. He led Cheng Jin to the seat, placed the book he had just picked up on the ground on the table, and asked, "Why are you here at this time? "

This is not the time when Cheng Jin will come to see Chu Chengye. Cheng Jin's temperament is to put things off as long as he can. In the past, he would wait until the afternoon.

Cheng Jin waved her hands and did not explain the matter. There were more important things at the moment. She asked:

"I heard the Emperor and the Eleventh Prince discussing something outside the door just now, so I didn't come in rashly. Now I see that the Emperor is not in a good mood. Did something happen?"

Chu Chengye did not hide anything and told everything Wei An said to him before.

Cheng Jin was shocked: "So you are saying that Mr. Song met bandits many times on his way to and from the capital?"

Chu Chengye nodded, "But there are so many bandits. It's probably because of people's intentions."

There is absolutely no doubt about this. The position of Ningzhou City Shipping Department is a rare opportunity.

Although Song Geng came to Beijing for a secret trip, there were many people in Ningzhou and the palace, so it was inevitable that someone would collude and leak the news.

An adult came to the capital from Ningzhou, and anyone with a discerning eye would naturally know what Chu Chengye meant.

Cheng Jin said: "Some people in the court cannot change the emperor's mind, so they can only force the emperor to change his will. If Mr. Song dies, the emperor will not be able to let Mr. Song serve, so naturally they will still have a chance."

"It's really too cunning."

Cheng Jin asked: "How many days until Lord Song can enter Beijing?"

"Two days at the latest, I have already gone to pick up Song Geng on the 11th. It is expected to be faster. The next time I go to court, I can give Song Geng the post of Shipping Department. After entering Beijing, the Shipping Department will be The position will be secured, those old men will no longer argue in front of me, and I can live in peace for two days."

Those old guys really made his head hurt in front of Chu Chengye.

Cheng Jin immediately shook his head and said, "No."

Chu Chengye turned his head to look at Cheng Jin and asked, "Why not?"

Cheng Jin said: "Your Majesty, what else does your Majesty think about those courtiers and officials besides quarreling in front of you?"

Chu Chengye thought for a while and said honestly: "Other than giving me a headache, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. Now Chu Huai'an's party members have long been divided into several factions because of the competition for the position of the Ningzhou Shipping Department, and each other only wants to poke each other's lungs. I knocked the opponent off the stage, and other than that, I never caused any trouble."

Cheng Jin nodded instantly, "Yes, you are right."

"As you said, they hurt each other and tortured each other. But before, the emperor only made them suspicious of each other and did not make them feel a sense of crisis. How about the emperor continue the previous drama."

"The emperor can summon a few more officials who are interested in the Shipping Department, and talk more about it after meeting. It is best to make them think that they are the best candidates for the emperor, and don't let others know. If they know that they are anxious, they will not If you hold it down longer, it will bite immediately."

Chu Chengye understood Cheng Jin's intention, which was to let them compete more fiercely. The snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit. When it is most beneficial to him, he can close the net.

Chu Chengye immediately waved to Wei An, "See if Eleven has left the palace. Stop him quickly and get my order before entering the city."

Cheng Jin raised his hand to stop him, "If Master Song wants to go to the capital, he must go to the capital early. Once he arrives in the capital, the emperor can legitimately protect Master Song. He just wants the emperor not to grant him the position of Shipping Department first, but to ask him to work in the shipping department first." Doing things in front of the emperor for a few days will allow the drama to go on and make those people think that their goals are right or wrong, so they can be transferred back earlier. Secondly, they can also become more familiar with Mr. Song so that they can better serve the emperor. ."

Cheng Jin spoke slowly and clearly, telling the truth with clear logic, which was very different from her usual timid and shrinking appearance.

Cheng Jin always has a serious face when talking about business.

After hearing Cheng Jin's suggestion, Chu Chengye nodded immediately, "Okay, I will listen to you."

Sometimes Chu Chengye does feel that some of his strategies are not as good as Cheng Jin's. He has a more impatient temper and is placed at the top of the power. He only sees some things what others want him to see, so sometimes he only talks about things. If you get what you want regardless of the consequences, you won't care much about the twists and turns.

But Cheng Jin is different. She can find a method that is most beneficial to herself and minimizes the cost from the details.

Chu Chengye stared at Cheng Jin's serious look and could not recover for a moment.
