On another note, Jiang Qiu Bai took note of He Lang's plan, and started to put it into action.
The next day, he specially brought a generous gift to the Yue Residence, relying on his glib tongue to fool his way in, pretending that he wanted to collaborate in embezzling public funds.
Jiang Qiu Bai had a sincere attitude, and his eyes were full of awe for his seniors, cupping his hands respectfully (1): "Brother Yue (2), when the time comes, these 20 thousand silvers will be left to you to handle, when this younger brother returns, we will split it in half."
Yue Gao Yang had always seen him as a youngster who didn't have any background, and had never seen him as someone with any kind of ability, therefore let his guard down against him. Looking at Jiang Qiu Bai's appearance of wanting to depend on him, his heart was moved and went through twists and turns, hesitating once again, then calculating on an abacus.
If he agreed, he could still plot against Jiang Qiu Bai then and only give him two-tenths. If he didn't agree, then he would not even give him the two-tenths, and it wasn't like he could bring officials over to investigate? Relying on the fact that he would not dare to reveal even a hint of this situation – after all, they were in the same boat, if one was destroyed all would be destroyed.
The two clinked their wine glasses (3), smiling at each other, having a kind of tacit understanding to make their agreement.
Jiang Qiu Bai raised his wine glass, slowly drinking it in one mouth, hiding the flashing light in his eyes.
In all honesty, he never expected that he would succeed in persuading him so easily. Before going, he even thought that his scheme had been seen through, being completely guarded against, it seemed that he still underestimated Yue Gao Yang's sense of infallibility and arrogance.
When the relief funds were released, Jiang Qiu Bai falsified that the disaster funds had been depleted, the subordinate officials were also forced to write the documents. Only then was Yue Gao Yang able to feel assured that the large amount of silver would enter his personal Residence.
When He Lang and Zhen Pu Yang went to the Imperial Court together, he had once asked Zhen Pu Yang on his ideas regarding the disaster relief funds. Seeing that the time was ripe, he also told him of the scheme he made with Jiang Pu Yang that day.
It was just that Zhen Pu Yang had little reaction to such a major incident, even after knowing about it he completely washed his hands off it, just having a prejudice against Jiang Qiu Bai.
He Lang asked guessingly: "Is it that you don't trust Minister Jiang?"
Zhen Pu Yang shook his head, elegantly entering the Main Hall, "I don't trust anybody, I only trust Teacher." This was why he had completely put this issue aside, leaving all matters to him. Whatever that he did, it was all correct.
Everybody's gaze was focused on the young Prince, He Lang glanced sideways.
Zhen Pu Yang imperceptibly pulled up the corners of his lips, stepping forward, eyes showing absolute devotion. It was rare that he would reveal such a serious expression, pretending to be troubled, "Reporting to Father Emperor, although the various officials have reported that the disaster relief efforts have been completed, but this is the first time that This Son has taken over official matters, and was uneasy at the start, and therefore took time to visit Jinnan, and found that many commoners did not receive aid."

Having a Good-Looking Face is Too Troublesome

The Main Synopsis: Zhang Jian is an ordinary army soldier with a plain, but masculine face, a pair of sharp eyes that often get him into trouble than not, and a skill s..."What is the meaning of this?" The Emperor frowned, with many speculations flashing across his mind. While he was in office, it wasn't that this sort of situation had never occurred, court officials would take a portion of the allocated funds, and their subordinates would be the ones under pressure; in order to progress, they would be forced to follow along and make fake reports.
Moreover, it was true that someone had reported that the Prince had left the capital, and He thought that it was for leisure, and turned a blind eye to it, never expecting that he left to inspect. The Emperor stroked his beard, in the midst of the heaviness in his heart was a touch of relief.
The people below observed their moods, there were those that were panicked, and there were those that were gleeful.
Zhen Pu Yang said no more and retreated, standing next to He Lang without hesitation, seeing his impartial and cheerless visage, purposely grazing his palms.
He would trail after Teacher every day, how could he have the time to visit the disaster area, luckily his father's expression showed that he believed it.
That 20 thousand silvers were fine staying in the Yue Residence, but the disaster relief documents were not even a little strange, and those in the know could see that there was a cunning plot at play.

"Minister of Revenue, it should be that a sum of 20 thousand silvers were given out as relief funds? Why is it that the commoners said that they did not receive aid? Give (Imperial) I an explanation." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.
The named Yue Gao Yang was fiercely shocked, but forced himself to remain composed, "This time, there were too many commoners who suffered, merely 20 thousand silvers were not enough to aid all of them, therefore His Royal Highness had the opportunity to come across commoners who did not receive aid."
Zhen Pu Yang immediately hmphed, saying "Sanctimonious."
The Emperor gave him a glance, unsure if he was lying, therefore deliberately slamming his chair, shouting angrily: "(Imperial) I see that all of you are insatiably greedy!"
"Emperor! This, this?!"
The Emperor flew into a great rage, Yue Gao Yang's legs softened immediately, speaking incoherently in a rush of stammers.
This fear was completely indicative of a guilty conscience, the Emperor bristled with anger.
Yue Gao Yang's forehead was full of sweat, hurriedly looking at Jiang Qiu Bai who was next to him, hoping that the one who was in the same boat would help in in the interest of their shared advantage.
But in the end, he actually that he was not at all panicked and in fact retained his composure, as if not having anything to do with him. And those that normally had good relations with him actually turned a blind eye, and nobody was willing to stand out from the crowd at this time, helping him and getting stained in the process.
This was the moment that Yue Gao Yang completely messed up, and the idea of pinning his hopes on others completely vanished.
"Begging the Emperor to judge judiciously!"
The emperor was extremely upset by his request for forgiveness, and immediately sent for someone to search his residence. Just as expected, a large sum was seized. This was definite proof, there was no need for any more judgement. The Emperor flung the things on the desk as he pleased, following the loud noise, angrily shouting: "These 20 thousand silvers were found in your house, without your permission, how would this great wealth enter your residence!"
"Jiang Qiu Bai... Jiang Qiu Bai! He is the real puppet master pulling strings!" Yue Gao Yang widened both eyes, spilling the truth of the matter, even if he died he wanted to pull him underwater as well.

The surrounding people had expressions that gradually became subtle, Jiang Qiu Bai also frowned slightly.
"Sheer nonsense! Having been discovered and still wanting to vilify others!" Zhen Pu Yang stood up under He Lang's pressing, impatiently scolding.
He Lang followed tightly and said: "When Minister Jiang got wind of this situation, he was at a loss as to what to do, and moved the gold and silver from his own residence to give aid to the commoners."
Jiang Qiu Bai bent his waist in a timely fashion, face full of guilt, "This Minister is incapable, the task that Emperor entrusted to this Minister, this Minister was unable to complete. This Minister did not dare to disclose, fearing that a delay of a single day would cause the commoners to suffer greater calamities, and could only act alone belatedly."
The Emperor's face turned pale in rage, and nodded, passing judgement on Yue Gao Yang, commending Jiang Qiu Bai, passing on the later matters regarding disaster relief to Zhen Pu Yang.
Once Yue Gao Yang stepped down from the spotlight, the officials that he supported did not have any backing and naturally withdrew their swords, not daring to hastily stand behind the Crown Prince in order to avoid being targeted by the factions of the other Princes.
After withdrawing from Court, Zhen Pu Yang was summoned by Consort Lin. He awkwardly spoke a word on how he would leave and return early on his own, and rushed to the Concubine's Residence.
He Lang looked at his tall back view, suddenly realizing that the Highness of his (4) was already sixteen, already having a genteel bearing, being a man who could stand alone.
On another note, Jiang Qiu Bai took note of He Lang's plan, and started to put it into action.
The next day, he specially brought a generous gift to the Yue Residence, relying on his glib tongue to fool his way in, pretending that he wanted to collaborate in embezzling public funds.
