What Shao Liulang said sounded more credible to outsiders, especially since he presented it so convincingly.
Shao Yunduan's reputation had been tarnished in the capital, and Shao Liulang had gained many followers. As a result, he caught the attention of the Fourth Prince's confidants. The Fourth Prince summoned him, praised him, and transferred him from Hanlin Academy to the position of Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of Revenue.
Shao Liulang was both surprised and delighted. He was overjoyed, relieved that he no longer had to worry about being punished by the court for the troubles involving Shao Yunduan.
It was a blessing in disguise, an unexpected turn of events.
He worked even harder.
This time, the Fourth Prince appointed him as the imperial envoy and ordered him to go to Hangzhou City with the First Old Master Qiao to deliver the decree to Shao Yunduan. Shao Liulang agreed without hesitation.
Why not? It was exactly what he wanted!
