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

Without waiting for Emperor Qinglong to ask, Xiao Ruge hurried forward and said.

"Your Majesty, I have the same idea as His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. We have never lacked food and clothing, and it is the refugees who deserve help."

Emperor Qinglong looked at the two people in front of him and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He had never thought that Mu Gu was the one who should be the crown prince, but fortunately it was not too late to discover it now.

Emperor Qinglong nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I promise you!"

When Emperor Qinglong said this, some people were happy and some were sad. The happy ones were the old ministers who had not seen Qinglong's future in Mu Bo, and finally saw that there was a prince who could take on the important task of Qinglong.

The ones who were worried were the remaining faction headed by the Crown Prince Mu Bo of the Eastern Palace. Emperor Qinglong's reaction was undoubtedly telling them that the position of Crown Prince Mu Bo was no longer secure, and they would suffer as well.

The most angry person was Mu Bo. He had thought too simply of Mu Gu. He really didn't expect that he was so scheming. The previous sentence was just a prelude to himself. Mu Gu's real purpose was to bring out the latter sentence.

Mu Bo looked at Mu Gu with sparks in his eyes, but at this critical moment he didn't dare to deal with Mu Gu in front of Emperor Qinglong. However, he already had a plan in his mind.

Originally, after this matter was discussed, everyone could leave the court, but Emperor Dalong seemed to suddenly remember something, and just as he stood up, he stopped everyone who wanted to leave.

"Mu Bo, Mu Gu, do you still remember the bet we made in the court seven days ago?"

Mu Bo was shocked when he heard this.

In fact, he was still trying to find a way to raise money at first, but later, because he never saw Qingxu, he really didn't know how to deal with it. Thinking that there were still several days left, he just let it go. As a result, he just focused on eating, drinking and having fun these days. If Emperor Qinglong hadn't brought it up today, he would have put this matter behind him long ago.

Mu Gu seemed very calm and confident, which made Mu Bo nervous. However, he comforted himself by thinking that no matter how capable Mu Gu was, he could not be much better than him. At worst, he could sell the gold, silver and jewelry in the East Palace to fill the hole.

Thinking of this, Mu Bo returned to his original arrogant look.

Emperor Qinglong looked at the two people in front of him with different expressions and spoke slowly.

"It looks like it's ready. Let's see for ourselves in front of everyone."

Upon seeing this, the eunuch in charge slowly walked up to Mu Gu and Mu Bai, then opened the book that recorded the details of the amount of silver the two had raised in the past few days, and read it aloud.

"Your Highness, Mu Bo, the first day is 100 taels, which comes from your own money, and the second day is 100 taels..."

The chief eunuch read out one sentence after another, from the first few days when there were still several hundred taels of income, to the next few days when it was all zero. Mu Bo's movements in the past few days were presented to everyone in full view.

Qinglong's face looked increasingly uglier, while Mu Bo's expression also became increasingly guilty. Mu Gu, who was standing by, tried to suppress his smile while listening.

It turned out that Mu Bo had a good hand but played it badly. In the end, he did not raise any money to put into the national treasury, but instead spent a lot of money out. The wind direction in the hall suddenly changed, and all the discussions turned to target Mu Bo.

"Ah! It's so sad that our Qinglong has such a prince! How sad!"

"What will the future of our Qinglong be like..."

Mu Bo heard the rustling sound, and having lost face in front of Mu Gu, he immediately turned his head with a frown and shouted angrily at the group of ministers who were talking about it.

"Is this as easy as you think? If anyone dares to say another word, I will tear his mouth apart!"

Suddenly the hall became silent.

Emperor Qinglong, who was sitting in the hall, frowned. Not to mention that Mu Bai was shouting in front of him so rudely, a person who couldn't stand being talked to would definitely not listen to good advice in the future.

The gloom in Mu Bai's eyes when he turned his head made Emperor Qinglong frown even deeper. Mu Bai's look made him feel more and more unfamiliar. Only now did Emperor Qinglong realize that desire could have such a great impact on a person.

Emperor Qinglong didn't think any more about it, but raised his hand to signal his eunuch to continue.

"Seventh Prince Mu Gu, a few days ago, received an order from His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the corruption caused by the flood in Huaizhou. He then followed the clues and arrested a large number of corrupt officials and traitors. His property was confiscated and the amount was embezzled... 5,785 taels."

When the eunuch in charge read out the string of numbers, he even looked at it again in disbelief, and the result was the same.

There were sudden cries of surprise in the hall. If it was just the amount of money that Mu Gu had, it wouldn't be so shocking. But the scary thing was the comparison. The first one,000 taels that Mu Bai could hand over was less than that.

It is obvious which prince is more capable and more worthy of the position of a thousand households.

The more this happened, the more Mu Bo felt he had lost face. He rushed to the crowd in anger and pointed at Mu Gu and started shouting.

"Mu Gu is just taking advantage of the situation! This cannot be taken into account. Even if those corrupt officials are not arrested now, they will be arrested sooner or later. These confiscated assets will be confiscated sooner or later!"

Mu Bo was so anxious and angry that he spoke without thinking. He even said such nonsensical words.

However, due to Prince Mu Bo's status, everyone in the hall lowered their heads and said nothing.

However, Mu Bo felt that everyone agreed with his idea, so he became more and more arrogant. He quickly walked in front of Mu Gu and glared at him fiercely.

"The silver you got is worthless, Mu Gu, you can't beat me."

Mu Bo looked at Mu Gu who had remained silent, and mistakenly thought that Mu Gu was feeling guilty, so he became more and more arrogant, and his hand almost pointed at Mu Gu's nose.

Mu Gu frowned slightly in dissatisfaction. He did not choose to have a direct physical conflict with Mu Bo. Instead, he took a half step back, still maintaining a calm expression.

"What we are competing for is who can add more silver to the national treasury. As for what methods to use, that is my own business. Father never said that we can't use this method. What matters is the result."

"And these corrupt officials and treacherous ministers that my brother mentioned will be caught sooner or later. Is there any difference between sooner or later? Mu Gu thinks my brother is a little too cautious."

"Even if these corrupt officials were brought to justice at this time, they could still seize nearly half of the national treasury's silver through house confiscations. This shows how much money they have embezzled in Qinglong."

"But if we let those people continue to struggle, won't Qinglong be hollowed out? Or is that exactly what my brother wants to see?"
