Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Emperor Dalong's eyes immediately lit up, signaling Minister Yang to tell him what the problem was.

Time was urgent, and Minister Yang was not the type to keep people in suspense, so he arrived slowly.

"Your Majesty, the best solution to this problem is to let the princes solve the problem of the empty treasury."

After hearing Minister Yang's words, Emperor Dalong signaled him again to explain in detail.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the flood that occurred in Huaizhou some time ago?"

How could Emperor Dalong not remember that the governor of Huaizhou even made a fuss at the court? It was truly an unprecedented event and he still remembers it vividly. The most important point was that due to the great influence of Huaizhou, many places in Huaizhou were severely destroyed by the floods. After investigation by Minister Yang, it was indeed true. Therefore, the silver allocated accounted for more than half of the national treasury.

In addition, he had invested a lot of money in refining the longevity elixir, so the national treasury was indeed insufficient. However, Emperor Dalong did not tell Minister Yang about this.

Seeing that Emperor Dalong seemed to know a lot about this matter, Minister Yang nodded and spoke again.

"I think Your Majesty has been so busy lately that he probably forgot that your birthday is in ten days."

"Such an event that deserves universal celebration naturally requires a large amount of silver."

"Recently, news came from the border that although the soldiers at the border are very brave, the small foreign states are not very honest and frequently cause chaos at the border. Although they are small fights, they have also made many soldiers exhausted and miserable."

"I believe that our capital is inhabited by foreign merchants, so it is inevitable that there will be people who are always observing the movements of our Dalong. At this time, the celebration of the emperor's death must be held. If it is not held, they will be able to see at a glance how tight Dalong's treasury is."

"Once it is held, it cannot be done hastily. It will inevitably cost a lot of money and time."

"So the empty treasury is a big problem that needs to be solved."

"Minister Yang means..."

Solving the problem of an empty treasury is no joking matter, especially within such a short period of time. Would it be a bit too hasty to give this as a test question to the princes? But judging from what Minister Yang meant, this was the case. Emperor Dalong guessed it but spoke with half belief and half doubt.

"That's right, Your Majesty. What I mean is that all the princes should think of ways to solve this problem and fill the treasury. The final winner will be determined by who raises more silver. The winner will be the one who raises the most silver."

"But if this matter goes wrong, wouldn't it also affect the situation at the border? Minister Yang, isn't this a bit unsafe?"

Emperor Dalong's worries were not without reason. It did sound unreliable to use such a matter concerning the safety of the country as a test topic for the princes, but this was an idea thought up by Minister Yang, so it was naturally impossible that he had not considered it carefully.

Minister Yang spoke next.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Think about it carefully. We have three princes in Dalong. Even if each of them does not have enough ability to completely solve the problem of an empty treasury, with the three princes combined, I think we can at least get through this time."

Emperor Dalong listened to Minister Yang's explanation and felt that it made sense, so he nodded slowly to show his agreement. Then, as if he remembered something, he asked again.

"Then Minister Yang said the best of both worlds. How do you test Mu Bo?"

It was possible to not reveal the whole plan and wait for Emperor Dalong to ask himself. In fact, this was also a little idea of ​​Minister Yang. He wanted to see whether Emperor Dalong was determined to do this. If he regretted it, he could take a step back and find another way. When he heard Emperor Dalong take the initiative to ask, he knew that this matter was 70% done.

"Then please let Your Majesty make some arrangements about the reward for the winner."

"Minister Yang, tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty just said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been frequently looking for Taoist Master Qingxu recently. However, this Taoist Master Qingxu is actually not as simple as Your Majesty thought. He is not just a person who knows medical skills."

"There are only two possibilities for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to look for him. One is to ask Taoist Qingxu for advice, and the other is to ask Taoist Qingxu for help to get what he wants most, the highest power."

"And His Majesty also said that Mu Bo would never be that eager to learn, so there is only the last possibility."

The highest power that Mu Bai wanted was the imperial power in his hands. If Mu Bai wanted to get it so urgently, there was only one way, which was to let Emperor Dalong leave that position and take it himself.

After Minister Yang's analysis, the originally vague things quickly became clear, but this also made Emperor Dalong break out in a cold sweat.

Dalongdi knew what this meant. It meant that Mu Bo would most likely want to kill his father. He would do anything to get what he wanted.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Minister Yang felt a little worried as he watched Emperor Dalong's expression gradually darken and turn pale. He assumed that Emperor Dalong realized it belatedly and regretted not wanting to continue, so he wanted to stand up and apologize.

"If Your Majesty thinks that what I said is inappropriate, I accept Your Majesty's punishment."

Emperor Dalong immediately realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly waved his hands and spoke.

"No, Minister Yang, please continue."

Minister Yang looked up with some doubt, but when he saw the determined look in Emperor Dalong's eyes, he slowly felt relieved. After he heaving a sigh of relief, he still spoke cautiously.

"If Your Majesty regrets it and still does not want to shake Mu Bo's position as the crown prince and wants to concentrate on training him, Your Majesty can let me leave. I..."

Before Minister Yang could finish his words, Emperor Dalong immediately denied it.

"No, I don't regret it. I just wonder if Mu Bo really has such a vicious and unreasonable thought."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to think too much. Just give the winner a position as a thousand households as a reward, and you can test Mu Bo's intentions."

Emperor Dalong was once again amazed at Minister Yang's great talent and his profound understanding of human nature.

The position of a thousand households means holding the power of thousands of soldiers. Having the power of soldiers means that one has real power that can be controlled in his hands. Even though Emperor Dalong doted on Mu Bai in the past, he had not given Mu Bai the power of soldiers until now.

In the past, people were worried that Mu Bo had not grown up yet and that he would not be able to control the military power.

And now, Emperor Dalong felt that there must be some arrangement in the dark. If Mu Bo had the military power, he would have been unable to restrain himself long ago.

The number of choices made by Minister Yang for the thousand households is just right, very attractive, but still under control.
