For a time, the government and the government were in chaos, and many difficult cases were inexplicably investigated.

Chu Chengye was happy to see this scene. He had absolute control over the battle for Ningzhou Shipping Company. But now, he had completely stayed out of the matter and became a complete vested interest.

Seeing that the matter was developing to a fever pitch, Chu Chengye took the opportunity to get rid of many of Chu Huai'an's henchmen.

While the rest of the people were secretly rejoicing that they were about to get what they wanted, Chu Chengye suddenly appointed Song Geng, who had previously been appointed as a completely unrelated petty official by Chu Chengye, as the Chief Shipping Officer.

Many ministers in the court immediately took notice and approved Song Geng again and again, but Chu Chengye couldn't see what those people were thinking. He pushed the matter away tactfully, saying that a god asked Song Geng in a dream in the middle of the night. Take this position as the Shipping Secretary, otherwise Southern Qi will be destroyed.

What Chu Chengye said was completely nonsensical. He never believed in gods. He just blocked the mouths of those people.

If those courtiers took the opportunity again, Chu Chengye would say, "Does your Majesty want our Southern Qi to destroy our country?"

No one dares to bear this responsibility, and the second reason is that Song Geng is indeed the best candidate for Ningzhou Ship Division.

He was from the capital city and was demoted to Ningzhou. He had some basic connections in the capital city. Those people remembered the friendship between them in the past and didn't say much.

Song Geng has worked in Ningzhou for many years, and he knows the affairs of Ningzhou very well, and he will not let others find too many mistakes in his work.

After this incident, Chu Huaian lost a lot of his wings, but there was still no movement from Chu Huaian's side. On the contrary, it became even quieter. It was hard to see what impact this incident had on Chu Huaian.

But Chu Chengye could also see that Chu Huaian didn't give up anything, and even had more desire, but he concealed it very well. He seemed to be waiting for an opportunity.

Since Chu Chengye took the wine industry back to officialdom and started the Ningzhou Treaty Port, the national treasury has become more and more abundant.

Chu Chengye was always concerned about the war at the border and did not want to mistreat the soldiers at the border, so he ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate more money to reward the soldiers fighting outside.

The battle in the south was victorious, the soldiers returned to the court, and the Southern Qi took back a piece of the city that had previously belonged to them.

Chu Chengye happily rewarded every soldier in the army.

The general who led the army handed over the surrender document to Chu Chengye in the court hall.

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, we suffered repeated setbacks against the enemy a few days ago and were almost defeated. Your Majesty approved a lot of silver and sent additional soldiers to the front line, and this turned the situation around."

"Originally, the enemy wanted to fight us to the death, so the emperor ordered the opening of the Ningzhou Treaty Port. However, the enemy suddenly changed their mind and voluntarily surrendered to Southern Qi."

The general knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Please protect Southern Qi to regain its territory. Southern Qi will prosper for thousands of years."

All the courtiers knelt and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty! Southern Qi will be prosperous for thousands of years!"

Chu Chengye laughed twice after hearing the general's words.

"That's also your credit. If you pass on my orders, everyone in the army will be rewarded."

After leaving the court, Chu Huaian ran towards Cheng Jin's Spring Harmony Palace. He walked so fast along the way that even Wei An beside him couldn't keep up.

Seeing that Chu Chengye was walking so fast, Wei An couldn't help but catch up and remind him: "Your Majesty, slow down, be careful and don't fall."

Chu Chengye smiled and glared at Wei An, "When did you become so verbose? Am I that stupid?"

Wei An smiled and pretended to slap himself in the mouth, "I made a mistake, but I saw that the emperor was so happy that he was about to fly, so he couldn't help but remind him."

Chu Chengye said: "You are very brave. Who did you learn this from? Do you dare to tease me?"

Wei An smiled but did not explain: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I have already inquired about it. The imperial concubine has not left the palace. She has woken up now and is probably basking in the sun in the yard."

In fact, Wei An didn't say it, and Chu Chengye also knew that he learned it from Cheng Jin, so Cheng Jin dared to treat him like this.

The hair is frizzy, no matter how big or small.

Hearing Wei An mention Cheng Jin, Chu Chengye couldn't help but soften his eyebrows, "I understand."

When they arrived at Chunhe Palace, Cheng Jin was sitting outside basking in the sun.

She leaned back against the chair, her body completely relaxed, not like she was sitting on a chair, but like she was slumped in it.

Cheng Jin raised his head, but his face was covered with a storybook, covering his face tightly, making it impossible to tell whether he was awake or asleep.

Seeing Cheng Jin's appearance, Chu Chengye unconsciously raised his lips and smiled, and took a few steps forward.

When the maid who was working in the palace saw Chu Chengye coming, she immediately knelt on the ground to salute. Chu Chengye was afraid of disturbing Cheng Jin, so he made a gesture to avoid it.

Chu Chengye quietly walked to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin, who was resting with his eyes closed, noticed someone standing in front of him, blocking himself from the sun. Cheng Jin felt a sense of coolness.

Cheng Jin raised his hand without taking away the book and said lazily: "Cui Zhu, don't block my sunshine."

Chu Chengye retreated after hearing the sound.

The warm sun shone on Cheng Jin again.

Cheng Jin yawned comfortably. She raised her hand and touched the back of a slightly cold hand. Cheng Jin asked doubtfully: "Cuizhu, you haven't left yet?"

Chu Chengye said nothing.

Cheng Jin didn't care. She just moved her body. She smiled and said, "It'll be okay now, please help me press your shoulders. Some of your shoulders hurt from lying down just now. I'll press them for you later."

Chu Chengye did not explain, but walked behind Cheng Jin's chair. He put his hand on Cheng Jin's shoulder and moved it slightly.

Cheng Jin sighed comfortably, "It feels so comfortable."

After pressing for a while, Cheng Jin suddenly raised his hand and touched his shoulder, "Here, here."

The two people's hands just happened to touch each other. Cheng Jin couldn't help being mean. She raised her hand and caught "Cui Zhu" with a mean smile. "Cui Zhu, your hands are so small? So soft?"

The more Cheng Jin touched it, the more something was wrong. Why did Cuizhu's hand suddenly become so big?

There are still many thin calluses on the fingertips.

Cheng Jin knew something was wrong. The joint was clearly a man's hand.

Cheng Jin immediately raised his hand and lifted the notebook covering his face, trying to take his hand back.

The moment Cheng Jin wanted to take back her hand, the person behind her suddenly held her hand tightly, preventing her from moving even an inch.

Cheng Jin stood up in a panic to see who it was, but turned around and met those smiling eyes.

Chu Chengye?

Cheng Jin lowered his guard and turned his head to see Cuizhu, who should have been behind him, standing not far away with an aunt's smile on his face.

Cheng Jin said to Chu Chengye: "You are walking silently, you are scared to death."

Chu Chengye stood beside Cheng Jin and smiled: "It was loud, but you didn't hear it."

Cheng Jin did not continue the topic. Cuizhu had the foresight to bring a chair to Chu Chengye and place it next to Cheng Jin.

"Why did you come suddenly?"
