Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family
Chapter 238 Setting up a trap
After settling Xiao Ruge, Mu Gu began to help Xiao Ruge set a death trap to deal with Xiao Mingyue. Mu Gu's intelligence was indeed the best among the many princes, and he knew best how to win people's hearts and how to cultivate his own wings. Precisely because of his extraordinary intelligence, he knew from a young age that if he was too conspicuous in the palace full of dangers, he would definitely be the first to be shot down. Therefore, he had been disguising himself, trying his best to make himself look less noticeable.
Because of this, Mu Gu’s whereabouts would not attract much attention. His influence grew day by day, but no one knew about it.
Mu Gu thought about it for a while and soon came up with a solution.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the position of the Minister of Revenue is currently vacant. Minister Yang is naturally the person in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. If Mu Gu finds a way to release the news that many places are affected by natural disasters at the same time, Minister Yang will definitely be busy and will have no time to take care of Xiao Mingyue's affairs in the near future. Mu Gu can just take the opportunity to take advantage of this gap.
"Cang Xu."
Mu Gu stood at the door and waved. Then a guard with a serious face walked out from the shadows, walked up to Mu Gu and lowered his head in shock.
"Your Majesty."
"Rush to Huaizhou tonight and tell Qionglin to find a way to spread the news of the natural disasters in the counties of Huaizhou within the next two days."
"Yes."
Cang Xu lowered his head and responded, then disappeared into the shadows.
Mu Gu shook off his robe and looked up at the sky where dark clouds were gathering, with a faint sign that heavy rain was about to fall.
Soon, Kyoto will face a major event and they will have a tough battle to fight.
Ever since Minister Yang talked with Xiao Mingyue, he has been trying to gather information everywhere, trying to secretly find out Lu Yu's true identity, but the result is obvious, there is no information at all.
Although Minister Yang is only temporarily sitting in the position of Minister, he grew up with the emperor. If they abandon the identities of monarch and subject, they are friends. He is also focused on how to make the Dalong Dynasty more and more prosperous. But now the Crown Prince Mu Bai is very incompetent, and the other princes are either still young or looked down upon by the emperor. It is indeed not an easy thing.
He had heard of Lu Yu. Putting aside his character, his talent as a general was beyond doubt. If Lu Yu could be confirmed to be the emperor's child, it would be a good thing for Dalong.
But once this matter is made public, there will be a bloody storm, and how many people will die because of it. Should he choose Dalong's world or choose not to let innocent people get hurt? For a loyal minister who is dedicated to serving his country, this is indeed an eternal problem.
Minister Yang hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell the emperor about this matter. For several days, he was absent-minded whether he was dealing with construction work in the palace or attending court. This state of mind for several days made others feel strange, thinking that Minister Yang was worrying about Dalon again.
"That's all for today, let's leave..."
The emperor had just finished discussing some important matters with his ministers as usual and had just opened his mouth to announce the end of the court session when the guard at the door suddenly trotted in.
"Your Majesty, the Governor of Huaizhou requests an audience!"
The emperor had been busy discussing with Qingxu how to make the elixir of life, and originally did not even want to attend this morning court session. However, his ministers insisted on coming, and he could not refuse, so he waited until the end of the court session. The emperor's desire to leave reached its peak.
But suddenly the Governor of Huaizhou came. Wouldn't this increase his workload? So he frowned impatiently and was about to refuse when Minister Yang standing below suddenly spoke up.
"Your Majesty, why don't you meet him first? The governor has come all the way to the palace. Maybe he has something important to tell you."
The emperor opened his mouth and finally listened to what Minister Yang said. The people in the palace also breathed a sigh of relief. With Minister Yang as the leader, they were not afraid of bad luck.
"Declarate it."
"Yes!"
The guard turned and walked out. A moment later, a dusty man with tattered clothes stumbled into the hall. The emperor frowned even deeper.
"Your Majesty! Please save the people of Huaizhou!"
Yang Shilang, the governor of Huaizhou, had seen Lan Zhizhang several times before, but he failed to recognize him for a moment because of his miserable appearance. He turned his eyes to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
"What's the matter?"
Lan Zhizhang was crying with tears and snot. He was originally kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, but when he heard the emperor's words, he raised his head and took a few steps forward on his knees until he was stopped by the emperor's guards at his feet.
"For some reason, the rainfall in many counties in Huaizhou suddenly increased a few days ago. It rained for three days in a row, and floods of varying sizes continued. Your Majesty, please send soldiers to fight the floods and allocate money to save the people of Huaizhou!"
The emperor frowned.
"Why don't you report it or send someone to report it?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know! I have sent envoys to the capital several times to deliver letters, but I haven't received any news for several days. I am worried that if it is delayed any further, the people of Huaizhou will not be able to bear it, so I have no choice but to come here in person."
Lan Zhizhang spoke so emotionally that many of the ministers present shed tears and began to petition.
"Your Majesty! Governor Lan loves his people like his own children!"
"Your Majesty! The people of Huaizhou can't wait!"
For a moment, the hall was filled with requests from various ministers, and some people even knelt behind Lan Zhizhang.
The emperor looked at the scene in front of him with a frown on his face. Such a big thing happened in Huaizhou, and it hit him all of a sudden. He thought that the money in the national treasury was not enough to support both his research on the elixir of life and the distribution of disaster relief funds for Huaizhou.
But Qingxu said that the current medicine has shown some effectiveness and must not be stopped. If it is stopped, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
How could such a natural disaster happen by such a coincidence? He had a hunch that there was something wrong, but he really didn't have the patience to find out whether it was Huaizhou who was causing the trouble.
There is only one way to have the best of both worlds right now.
"Minister Yang of the Ministry of Revenue."
Minister Yang, who was thinking about the flood in Huaizhou, was suddenly called and did not hear the emperor's voice for a while.
"Minister Yang of the Ministry of Revenue!"
The emperor suddenly raised his voice, causing everyone in the hall to look at Minister Yang, who was startled and quickly responded.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty is here!"
"Since the position of Minister of Revenue is currently vacant, the task of ascertaining the facts of the flood in Huaizhou and handling the disaster relief affairs after the facts are ascertained will now be handed over to you. I will give you five days."
The hall suddenly became silent.
Minister Yang's forehead was instantly soaked with sweat. The emperor really knew how to make trouble for him. He handed such a difficult matter to him and went about his business at ease.
