Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot

Prince Mu stepped forward, anger in his voice.

"I have a matter to report. The border is in urgent need, the military situation is dire, and several border cities have been plundered by the enemy, leaving the civilians in utter misery. I lead our army, galloping across the battlefield, to protect our lands and safeguard our people. However, we are running low on military provisions, and the salaries can only sustain us for a few months. Minister of Revenue Dugu Wu has repeatedly delayed the supply of army provisions. I beseech the Emperor to decide for me."

No sooner had Prince Mu finished speaking than the Eldest Prince also stepped forward, echoing his sentiments.

"I implore the Emperor to adjudicate. With Dugu Wu’s inefficiency, as long as the army’s salaries are insufficient, our people of Great Chu will not be at peace, and our lands will not be stable."

Dugu Wu, expressionless, acted as if he hadn’t heard the coordinated barrage from the Eldest Prince and Prince Mu.

"Dugu, why has the matter of military salaries not yet been resolved?"

Emperor Yongye massaged his temples.

Lately, his Dragon Body was ill at ease, and the endless stream of affairs in court was giving him a headache.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the national treasury has a deficit, and the taxes levied to replenish it have not been fully submitted. Please allow me some more time," Dugu Wu said coolly.

"Prince Wu, you’re clearly shirking responsibility. I’ve heard that you’re protecting Princess Yong’an, which has caused dissatisfaction among other nobles and royalty, and they are reluctant to pay the taxes. Don’t talk about more time; even if you were given a year, you couldn’t collect so much tax. You have flouted the law for personal gain, shielding your own family, and you have let down the Emperor and betrayed the millions of soldiers of Great Chu!"

Prince Mu’s tone was fierce as he pointed and shouted at Dugu Wu.

He felt smug inside – Dugu Wu, you’re getting a taste of your own medicine now.
