The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Upon hearing this, Ye Ren glanced at the eldest prince Jiang Yi and sighed inwardly. He was so impatient, how could he be a prince at all? Such a person turned out to be his grandson.

Thinking of Jiang Fan, he had the idea that if you compare yourself with others, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away. How could such an outstanding Qilinzi not be his grandson!

He sighed, took a sip of wine and said, "It's just a small matter, why can't you keep your cool? It's just some rumors, don't take it to heart. Don't forget, since he agreed to go to the war, he must fulfill his promise. If he dares to go to the war, his death will not be far away!"

"Our newspapers should also make an effort to praise him! Confirm this matter! At the court meeting tomorrow, we will challenge him and see how he ends up!"

As soon as Ye Ren said this, Jiang Yi and the other three princes were still angry, but they also felt much happier and all looked sinister.

Didn't Jiang Fan ask the people to compare them to shit? He wanted Jiang Fan to become shit, or shit pulled out by wild beasts! They wanted Jiang Fan to be killed without a complete body.

On the other hand, Emperor Yan also learned what happened in front of Prince Jiang Fan’s mansion, and heard the bold words Jiang Fan said. He was also very excited and couldn’t calm down for a while.

"Good...good! He is indeed my son. Only he can say such a bold statement! Great Yan is sacred and inviolable. Anyone who offends Great Yan will be punished no matter how far away he is! Haha..."

"Pass on my order, prepare for war with all your strength, and strive to send troops to Jinzhou as soon as possible!"

As the Emperor of Yan issued the holy order, the entire Great Yan immediately began to move, and the preparation of food and fodder and the deployment of troops began.

The next morning, Jiang Fan was also summoned by Emperor Yan to attend court to discuss how to retake Jinzhou.

In the court, Ye Ren, Fan Xian, Huang Zhenren, and several princes who were qualified to attend the court meeting were all stunned when they saw Jiang Fan appear.

After Jiang Fan left the government and built his mansion, this was the first time he actually participated in a court meeting. He had only attended a big court meeting once before when he made a bet with Chu Yan'er.

Except for the eldest prince, the third prince and the fifth prince, who all looked vicious, teasing and excited, they were ready to attack Jiang Fan!

On the other side, the Sixth Prince, the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince behaved differently.

The Sixth Prince looked calm, as if the rumors in the capital were not about him.

The fourth and seventh princes looked at Jiang Fan with a hint of anger and dissatisfaction on their faces!

Ye Ren and Fan Xian looked at Jiang Fan with pity, organizing their words to force Jiang Fan to submit.

However, before they could implement their plan, Emperor Yan spoke first from the dragon throne.

"My dear ministers, the matter of Jinzhou is imminent. I have decided to mobilize 50,000 troops from the sixteen prefectures of Guanbeizhou and Yunzhou and send the eighth prince Jiang Fan to lead the troops. Do you have any opinions?"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the court was stunned, whether they were pro-mortals or anti-mortals like the princes, all looked stunned.

The pro-Fan faction did not expect that Emperor Yan would send Jiang Fan to Jinzhou, and they began to worry about Jiang Fan. Jinzhou was really a huge pit, and he might die if he went there.

They couldn't understand why Emperor Yan would send Jiang Fan over.

All the court officials were unaware of the consensus reached between Emperor Yan and Jiang Fan.

On the Anti-Mortal faction's side, everyone stared at Emperor Yan in a daze, unable to come to their senses for a long time. They hadn't even started the attack yet, yet they got such a result.

This made them feel a little uncomfortable, as if there was a trap waiting for them ahead.

After all, when have Emperor Yan and Jiang Fan, this deceiving father and son duo, ever disappointed anyone?

They are almost suffering from psychological trauma. Once these two people agree, someone will be in trouble!

There must be something fishy going on here, Ye Ren and the others instinctively thought!

But things developed as they expected. Even if there was a huge pit ahead, they wanted to jump in. Otherwise, if they missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to deal with Jiang Fan!

Ye Ren led the troops and stood up, shouting, "Your Majesty is wise, and I have no objection! However, I wonder when Your Majesty will set out to fight?"

He wanted to make the matter clear, and it would be best if Jiang Fan could go into battle immediately.

Otherwise, if Emperor Yan and Jiang Fan were using a delaying tactic, and the time was delayed for a month or two, and Jiang Fan suddenly didn't go, then he would be happy for nothing!

"My dear, when do you think it is best to set out on the expedition?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan looked at Ye Ren with a smile.

"Of course the sooner the better. In my humble opinion, tomorrow at the latest, today at the earliest! Jinzhou's military situation is urgent, and delays could lead to changes. As for the troops from the sixteen continents, Your Majesty can order the troops from the sixteen prefectures to march out first, and then meet up with the Eighth Prince when they are close to Jinzhou! This way, we can save time and recapture Jinzhou City faster!"

Ye Ren said quickly.

The troops from the Sixteen Prefectures are close to Jinzhou but far from Kyoto. If they are asked to come to the capital to escort Jiang Fan, it will be too late!

As soon as he said this, many court officials nodded in agreement.

Emperor Yan glanced at him coldly, with a chill in his eyes. Ye Ren's words seemed to make sense, but he actually had ulterior motives!

Jiang Fan has no soldiers accompanying him, and he is afraid that he will encounter many dangers on his way to Jinzhou.

"Your Majesty, I also think it makes sense. As for the Eighth Prince accompanying the troops, he can go with the grain transport army!" Fan Xian also spoke at this time.

Emperor Yan glanced at the others and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Jiang Fan and asked, "Fan'er, what do you think?!"

Jiang Fan heard this and smiled faintly, "Everything is up to the emperor, father!"

He could guess what Ye Ren and the others were planning, but Jiang Fan didn't care. It all depended on who could beat whom!

Just then, Ye Ren glanced at Huang Zhenren.

Huang Zhenren understood and quickly stepped out and said:

"Your Majesty, I think the Eighth Prince should not bring his wife with him on this expedition. The Eighth Prince is a scholarly genius, with unparalleled wisdom and strategies..."

Huang Zhenren came up and started to praise her. At this point, his tone changed and he said:

"If he brings the princess along, even if he wins the battle, he will probably be criticized. After all, the princess is a rare woman. If people attribute the credit to her, it will be detrimental to the Eighth Prince's reputation and make him look like a womanizer."

As soon as Huang Zhenren said this, several court officials who were attached to the prince came forward and echoed:

"Mr. Huang is absolutely right. I also agree..."

"I second the proposal!"

When the other court officials heard this, they looked at them in strange ways. These people were really shameless. They clearly wanted to cut off Jiang Fan's support!

Everyone knows how powerful Chu Yan'er is. If she joins the army, Jiang Fan may really be able to recapture Jinzhou with her help.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan's eyes twitched and his eyes turned cold.

He glanced coldly at Ye Ren and the others, and said calmly: "My dear ministers, your concerns are not without reason. Let's settle this matter. Adjourn the court... Fan'er, follow me to the imperial study!"

It’s not that he didn’t think of asking Chu Yan’er to help Jiang Fan together, but Huang Zhenren’s words also made him feel that they were right.

If Chu Yan'er really lets him go, even if he wins, Ye Ren and others will continue to spread rumors, and in the end it will be his son whose reputation will be damaged!

Since his son was his best choice now, he couldn't let his son's reputation be damaged. Moreover, he also believed in his son's ability.
