The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 168 By then, it will be too late for them to cry

Back in the capital, Jiang Fan's morning report only mentioned briefly about his expedition to Jinzhou, without going into further detail.

The biggest selling point of the Morning Post now is the serialized vernacular novels, as well as some anecdotes and current events, as well as some gossip forums!

Jiang Fan has written a lot of vernacular novels during this period, enough for the Morning Post to be serialized. The people provide interesting stories and current events every day, and there is no need to worry about gossip. The Morning Post has developed into a mature one!

Although the morning paper published by Ye Ren and others imitated Jiang Fan's morning paper and contained interesting stories and even serialized vernacular novels, their vernacular novels were simply incomparable to Jiang Fan's vernacular novels.

The real attraction of their newspapers is that they only report on Jiang Fan's affairs, which is somewhat attractive to the people.

Ye Ren and others had not conducted any research and thought that their newspaper was very successful. Even if there was no news about Jiang Fan in the future, the newspaper sales would still increase dramatically!

However, because of the response caused by reporting Jiang Fan's affairs, they reported it very diligently.

The Morning Post did not report much about Jiang Fan's expedition, but they kept praising him, saying how wise and brave the Eighth Prince was and how he set out with two thousand soldiers and food supplies.

There were also 100,000 dan of grain and fodder accompanying him. It was said that as soon as Jiang Fan went to Jinzhou, he would definitely defeat Northern Mongolia!

The people didn't understand anything, but they had an inexplicable trust and admiration for Jiang Fan. Then, when they saw the newspapers praising Jiang Fan, their enthusiasm for buying the newspapers became stronger than ever.

The sales of the newspaper that day were even close to surpassing Jiang Fan's Kyoto Morning News, which made Ye Ren and others ecstatic for a long time! They thought that their newspaper was about to achieve a counterattack and take over Jiang Fan's Morning News!

Those businesses also benefited greatly. They felt very fortunate and thought they had made the right decision. As a result, many businesses came to book advertising space for the next month!

This situation made Ye Ren and the others even more delighted, and they started celebrating again! They even invited some people to go to the Morning Post to mock and shout.

In the prince's mansion, Chu Xiaoya had a worried look on her face, full of confusion.

"Miss, why don't we report His Highness's departure? That way, our newspaper won't be overshadowed by their morning newspaper. If this continues, our morning newspaper will probably be replaced by their morning newspaper!"

Chu Yan'er smiled upon hearing this, patted Chu Xiaoya's head and said, "Do you remember what Brother Fan said before he left? If you want them to perish, make them crazy first! If you don't give them some sweetness, how can they fall into the trap!"

Her face was full of amusement as she said jokingly, "Just wait, in less than half a month, they won't even have time to cry!"

At this time, Chu Xiaolan looked at Chu Yan'er in confusion and said, "Miss, don't they feel uncomfortable when they report on His Highness like this? They praise the enemy like a flower and feel very uncomfortable! They are doing this to make money, even willing to eat shit!"

Her vulgar words made Chu Yan'er and Chu Xiaoya burst out laughing!

Ye Ren and the others really have no moral integrity now. In order to increase the popularity of the newspaper, they praise Jiang Fan against their conscience! I guess they feel uncomfortable every time they praise him!

However, Chu Yan'er was clear-headed. She smiled and said, "Do you think they really feel bad? Do you know what "overpraising" means? The higher they praise you now, the worse Brother Fan will fall when they report something unfavorable about him! Their calculations are far-reaching."

"However, they probably forgot that Brother Fan would know about their little scheme. I wonder what their expressions will be when they find out that they have been tricked! It should be very exciting!"

Chu Yan'er smiled with a bit of sinister intent, and the two girls seemed to understand but not quite!

At this time, the little girl Chu Xiaolan seemed to have thought of something and said, "Miss, Miss Zhong Ling quietly followed the prince! Should we inform the prince?"

She looked a little weird, and there was an indescribable sourness in her expression.

Chu Yan'er was stunned when she heard this. The expression on her face suddenly became complicated. She sighed and said:

"Let her go. With her around, Brother Fan's safety will be guaranteed. My two brothers may be quite capable, but I'm afraid they can't match Miss Zhong in terms of brains. I feel more at ease if she goes. If I wasn't afraid of others criticizing Brother Fan, I would go by myself!"

At this point, she said to Chu Xiaolan:

"By the way, tell the people in the other courtyard who are taking care of Senior Kuang Dao to pay more attention. Don't wait for that girl to come back. If anything happens to her brother, we won't be able to explain to her!"

Chu Xiaolan nodded after hearing this.

"Got it...Miss...I'll make the arrangements! Senior Kuang Dao has recovered well in the past few days and can already get out of bed and walk! It should take less than half a month for him to recover almost completely!"

On the other side, in Jiang Yi’s Prince’s Mansion, Ye Ren and others gathered together again.

At this moment, several people had happy expressions on their faces, and everyone was in high spirits.

This is what is called being in high spirits when good things happen. Jiang Fan went out to fight today, and after the newspapers reported on Jiang Fan, it caused such a huge response that made them surprised and happy!

"Grandpa, what should we do next? If I keep praising Jiang Fan like this, even if the newspaper business gets better and better, I will feel really frustrated! We can't keep going like this!"

"Speaking of which, our newspaper is meant to suppress Jiang Fan. Don't let this end up making Jiang Fan successful!" The eldest prince put away his joy and said solemnly to Ye Ren.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ren glanced at his grandson and sighed inwardly. He wondered what was wrong with this guy's brain. Couldn't he have figured out such a simple act of flattery?

He read so many books, but in the end he was nothing but a waste. Thinking of being a waste, he felt sad again.

He had always thought that Jiang Fan was a waste, and that Jiang Fan was not as good as his grandson, but now that he thought about it, the more he compared himself to his grandson, the more useless he felt! Jiang Fan was the grandson he wanted!

But if you compare people to others, you will die; if you compare goods to others, you will throw them away. There is no way to change the fact that this guy is his grandson. He can only support him with all his strength!

"Don't worry, we just need to send people to follow Jiang Fan all the way and report back what he did from time to time. Then, we will report it. At first, we can report positive things and good things, but slowly! We can take the opportunity to discredit him!"

"After all, we are so far away, they will listen to whatever we say! How can we know whether it is true or not?"

"When the people start to doubt Jiang Fan, how much prestige do you think will remain? He is now a god in everyone's heart. What is a god? He is a public figure. He cannot have even a single stain on him. Even the smallest stain can be magnified!"

"Once the God in the hearts of the people is no longer perfect! What do you think will happen in the end? Everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme! Haha...the higher we praise him, the harder he will fall!"

"Not to mention, I have prepared a great surprise for Jiang Fan on the way. If he is not ruined by then, I will not be named Ye! Haha..."

Ye Ren had a calm and proud look on his face, as if he had everything planned out!

The other people nodded when they heard this, expressing their deep agreement with Ye Ren's words. They somewhat admired Ye Ren's shrewdness.

Fan Xian, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face, as if something bad was going to happen. It was because they had been going too smoothly these past few days, and Jiang Fan hadn't made any movement at all. This was a bit abnormal!

However, thinking that Jiang Fan had left Kyoto and might be out of reach, he felt less worried.
