Gu Wenheng just felt a throbbing headache coming on. He already knew everything the Supreme Emperor was talking about.
When the storehouse was opened, Eunuch Le had also shown it to him in passing. The gold, silver, and treasures confiscated back then had long since been moved to the National Treasury. Now, the storehouse contained nothing but useless scrap metal—items that previous ministers of the Ministry of Revenue had despised. He had specifically rummaged through it and couldn't even pick out a few valuable pieces. Now that the Supreme Emperor actually wanted to use these worthless things to fool the commoners, Gu Wenheng couldn't help but think how rotten to the core the Imperial Family truly was.
