"Father, why don't you let me go to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief?" Mu Lanqing felt unwilling when she thought of the scene in the court hall.
Prime Minister Mu, the Duke of Jingguo, looked at his son coldly and said calmly, "You are still young, why are you so anxious to get ahead?"
Mu Lanqing said: "Father, I can't always live under the protection of my family. I want everyone to know that I, Mu Lanqing, am not what I am today because of my family!"
What a great opportunity, if he can succeed, he will become famous in one fell swoop. Although he lacks nothing, if he is satisfied with the status quo, he will not be Mu Lanqing!
Prime Minister Mu looked at his son, who was slightly excited and eager to prove himself, and sighed, "Qing'er, you are the only person in my Mu family who can hold a big position in the future. You must learn to be patient!"
Mu Lanqing was silent. There were many heirs in the Mu family, but there were also many dandies. He was indeed the son that his father valued most.
Mu Lanqing said: "I am not a courageous person. If I issue a military order, I will issue a military order. Does your Majesty think I don't dare?"
Prime Minister Mu said coldly: "Don't you see that the emperor colluded with Prince Jiang in advance to handle today's matter? The emperor has already decided on the candidate for disaster relief, and it is Prince Jing!"
Mu Lanqing is not a mediocre person, but also a rising star in the court. Of course you can see such an obvious thing!
"But so what? More than half of the people in the court are my father's disciples. As long as my father raises his arms, there won't be a large number of candidates. What can they do to me?"
Prime Minister Mu said: "You think too simply. If you issue a military order, of course everyone will be happy if it succeeds. What if you lose?"
The military order was issued, and the matter remained unchanged. If the flood could not be cleared within a month, he would have to raise his head. Prime Minister Mu did not want to take this kind of risk. After all, Qing'er is the future pillar of the Mu family!
He is no longer young. He is in the position of prime minister and has been granted the title of Duke of Jing. He is below one person and above ten thousand people. There will be no room for advancement!
But Qing'er is different. At a young age, he holds the high position of Minister of Household Affairs, and his future is limitless. Compared with Prince Jiang's eldest son Jiang Nanyan, Qing'er's future fortune will be far better than his. Although Jiang Nanyan enters the court,
There is no actual position, and the position of real power in the DPRK is not so easy to obtain!
Mu Lanqing disagreed and argued: "Father, wealth is gained through danger. There is no risk, so where is the profit?"
Prime Minister Mu said angrily: "Jiangnan has been plagued by floods for many years. There are many talented officials in Jiangnan, but they are unable to do anything about the floods. Instead, they are getting worse and worse. Floods are like wild beasts. Do you think it is child's play?"
Mu Lanqing remained silent, and Prime Minister Mu's voice softened, "Prince Jing, don't think this is a good thing. Just one tens of thousands of victims is enough to give him a headache, let alone building embankments to release floods. If the task cannot be completed by then,
, in full view of the public, it is not that easy for the emperor to protect his shortcomings!"
Mu Lanqing's eyes lit up, "Father is thoughtful, the Ministry of Revenue is in our hands, and this disaster relief money must come from us!"
Prime Minister Mu snorted coldly, "Now you know why your father didn't let you go!"
Mu Lanqing said with admiration: "My father is wise, and my son admires me!"
Prime Minister Mu said: "Don't let the emperor get the handle on sending the disaster relief money to the south of the Yangtze River. There will be no trace of it. Even if we want to investigate, we won't be able to find it!"
Mu Lanqing said: "Yes!"
Prime Minister Mu said: "If the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River is successful and the floods that have plagued the court for many years are solved, Prince Jing's prestige in the court will surely be at its peak. Qing'er, I will leave this matter to you!"
Mu Lanqing said: "Father, don't worry!" As his father's most valued son, he is certainly not an ordinary person.
