The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

"I'm afraid he intends to use Jiang Fan, the useless prince, to control the imperial power. Only by controlling a useless prince and helping him seize the throne, then Dayan will no longer belong to his Chu family."

"When the three questions of Bei Meng stumped the entire Great Yan, why didn't this extraordinary woman Chu Yan'er show up? Even when Your Majesty asked her for help, she said she was powerless to solve it."

"Based on my guess, it's not that Chu Yan'er can't solve it. With her extraordinary talent, how could she not be able to solve just three questions? I'm afraid she has given the solution to Jiang Fan."

"Even those two poems were given to Jiang Fan by Chu Yan'er, in order to help Jiang Fan get in front of others and gain the appreciation of His Majesty. Then she let Chu Xinghe and Jiang Fan play double roles and live in the Chu Mansion. Then Jiang Fan will be completely controlled by the Chu family."

"Even those three bets were used by her to confuse us, just to make His Majesty think Jiang Fan is powerful. Step by step, she wants His Majesty to appreciate Jiang Fan!"

"Do you think the Chu brothers really lost to Jiang Fan, so they became Jiang Fan's bodyguards? This is probably planned by Chu Yan'er. If not, how can Chu Yan'er's plan be implemented!"

"With the Chu brothers by Jiang Fan's side, everything Chu Yan'er does can be passed on to Jiang Fan through the two brothers. Then, all of this will become Jiang Fan's credit!"

"The more Jiang Fan is appreciated by His Majesty, the more the Chu family can accomplish their plan! Therefore, the master behind Jiang Fan must be the Chu family, or to be more precise, Chu Yan'er!"

"She is indeed a remarkable woman, with such deep plans. If Jiang Fan wasn't such a loser, but was performing so well now, we would have been deceived by the Chu family and Chu Yan'er!"

"However, I have already known Chu Yan'er's plan. Humph... no matter how the Chu family's extraordinary girl plans, it will all be in vain in the end. She is still a little naive in front of me!"

Ye Ren curled his lips in disdain.

The people around who were listening to Ye Ren's explanation showed fear and admiration in their eyes after hearing Ye Ren's analysis.

Ye Ren's analysis made them feel that it made sense.

Yes, Jiang Fan’s rise was really too coincidental, from Chu Xinghe’s request for marriage to Jiang Fan’s amazing performance that made Emperor Yan take notice of him.

Those two poems, and Jiang Fan’s various behaviors after entering the Chu family.

It seems very reasonable, but according to Ye Ren's analysis, the Chu family is always behind Jiang Fan's every success.

In other words, Chu Yan'er's figure can be seen everywhere.

Even the three bets between Chu Yan'er and Jiang Fan felt deliberate, as if Chu Yan'er was planning it all.

It seems that Jiang Fan caught the eye of Emperor Yan with his outstanding performance, but if the master behind him is Chu Yan'er, then the matter is terrifying to think about it carefully.

The Chu family probably wants to get involved in the imperial power, and Jiang Fan is just a puppet in the hands of the Chu family.

With Chu Yaner's intelligence, she might really be able to play such a big game!

"We have to report this matter to His Majesty. As long as His Majesty sees through the Chu family's scheme, we can turn the tables in one fell swoop!"

Huang Zhenren looked very happy, and the three princes also looked expectant.

Ye Ren heard this, thought for a moment and said: "We must report this to His Majesty! But His Majesty may not believe us. However, if we can prove that Jiang Fan is just a fool, then what we report will become a fact. By then, not only will Jiang Fan die, but the Chu family can also be eradicated!"

As soon as Ye Ren said this, hope surged in everyone's eyes.

Several princes looked at Ye Ren excitedly, hoping that he could tell them his plan.

Ye Ren looked at Shi Wenzong and said, "Shi Jijiu, I heard that you have taught several princes. I wonder if the Eighth Prince has any outstanding qualities in literature?"

Shi Wenzong's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he could feel that Ye Ren was using him as cannon fodder.

But when he thought about how his reputation was ruined by Chu Yan'er's scolding, he hated both Jiang Fan and Chu Yan'er in his heart!

Even though he knew that Ye Ren was using him, he decided to jump out and be a gun, because he would not be able to think straight if he didn't take revenge.

"Our eighth prince's academic performance is mediocre. He can't even memorize simple articles, and he can't even recognize a few words. I don't believe that he can write good poems. Your analysis just now makes sense. The intelligence and talent he showed was probably deliberately created by Chu Yan'er."

"Prime Minister Ye, do you want me to come out and expose him? I'm happy to help!" Shi Wenzong said with a cold smile.

Hearing this, Ye Ren smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shi Jijiu. If you jump out now and say that His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is ignorant and incompetent, you will only alert the enemy."

"If we want to expose him, we have to catch him by surprise and not give him any time to prepare. We were careless in the three bets, and we didn't expect Chu Yan'er to be behind the scenes."

"So, this time, we must not only expose Jiang Fan, but also not give him any chance to react. Shi Jijiu will play a crucial role in this matter."

At this point, he looked at the others present and said, "Do you remember that August 15th is the day when Jiang Fan opens his office and builds his mansion, and also the day when he gets married? Your Majesty and all the court officials will attend."

"After exposing Jiang Fan's true face in front of so many people, His Majesty should be able to see everything clearly. By then, the Chu family and Jiang Fan will be wiped out! Isn't that right!"

As soon as he said this, everyone's face showed joy.

The dozen or so court officials present were all filled with anticipation and excitement, and they all wanted to know how Ye Ren was going to make his move.

The eldest prince Jiang Yi also looked at his grandfather expectantly, while Ye Ren smiled and said calmly: "I will make all the arrangements. You all just wait and see the show on that day."

At this point, Ye Ren looked at Shi Wenzong and said, "Shi Jijiu, let's talk alone!"

The two of them found a room alone and talked for a long time. After Ye Ren left, he wrote an anonymous memorial and secretly stuffed it among the many memorials when the memorials were handed in after the morning court.

After all, he was the right prime minister, and the final stage of reviewing memorials was between him and the left prime minister. He and the left prime minister would then submit the useful memorials to the Emperor of Yan.

Therefore, his memorial entered the imperial study of Emperor Yan.

Ye Ren's guess was quite convincing and he even made relevant plans.

Jiang Fan and Chu Yan'er didn't know anything about this. They didn't even think that Ye Ren would have such a big imagination. He actually thought that Jiang Fan had become a puppet of the Chu family.

However, having said that, given Jiang Fan's strange behavior, it would be unreasonable for him not to be suspected like this.

Of course, if Jiang Fan had not traveled through time, when this happened, Ye Ren would have guessed that it was Chu Yan'er, this extraordinary woman, and it would have been reasonable.

Unfortunately, Ye Ren would never have thought that Jiang Fan would be a time traveler. Moreover, the Chu family would not do such a rebellious and infamous thing.

Therefore, if Jiang Fan had not traveled through time, there would not have been a series of subsequent events. It can only be said that although Ye Ren is shrewd and calculating, he can't predict everything in the world!
