The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

In order to get the person into their hands, they spent a lot of effort and finally got the Emperor Yan to answer the three judges' joint trial, but what does the Emperor Yan mean now? ! Is he going to go back on his word!

"Father, the case has been closed. There is no need for a joint trial by the three courts. Since you are so anxious, why not just close the case here and let your father personally review and pronounce the verdict so that the people of the world can bear witness to it. I beg your father for permission."

Jiang Fan looked at the court officials who were speaking with a hint of amusement on his face, then glanced at Ye Ren and the princes.

As soon as he said this, several princes and court officials such as Ye Ren were stunned. What?! This guy actually wanted to close the case here. Isn't he kidding me?

This case needs to be tried by the three courts, and the Emperor of Yan has agreed to it. You actually said that the case has been closed and you don’t even want the three courts to try it. Are you so overbearing! ?

However, Ye Ren and several other princes were suddenly filled with shock and looked at Jiang Fan with fear in their eyes.

They thought that Jiang Fan would be forced to compromise and hand the person over to the three courts for trial.

After all, if any court official had doubts about the case, it would have to be tried by the three courts.

Ye Ren saw this and led a group of court officials to question him again and again, and finally forced the Emperor of Yan to do so.

But they never thought that Jiang Fan would actually do such a thing, closing the case and making a verdict outside the city gate, and letting Emperor Yan preside over it. He even dared to say such a thing.

Not to mention that this seems a bit against etiquette, I'm afraid the Emperor of Yan would never agree to it.

"Your Majesty, I object. This is against etiquette and is really too much of a joke!" Ye Ren jumped out instantly, and Shi Wenzong quickly followed suit:

"Your Majesty is a person of ten thousand gold and a role model for the world. How can you close the case and pronounce a verdict in this wilderness? This is truly an insult to the ancestors and a disgrace to the saints! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince wants to bring shame upon you and make you lose face in front of all the people! Please be fair and punish him!"

Huang Zhenren and several other court officials also jumped out and spoke out to stop it.

Emperor Yan was a little confused. He didn't expect his son to let him close the case and make a verdict outside the city gate. He wanted to use him to settle the matter directly.

However, what Ye Ren and others said was not without reason. It was a bit of a joke and a bit against the rules to let him close the case here.

After all, this kind of thing has never happened since ancient times, and he didn't know whether it would have any impact on his reputation. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer Jiang Fan.

However, at this moment, Jiang Fan stepped forward, sneered at Ye Ren and others, and said indifferently: "Prime Minister Ye, what is not in accordance with the etiquette? I would like to ask you, what is not in accordance with the etiquette you are talking about? Is it you who decided it?"

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Ye Ren's face changed drastically. These words were extremely damaging. Although he was the right prime minister, to say that he established the etiquette was simply a heart-breaking statement.

Since ancient times, the so-called ritual system, apart from sages, only the emperor has the power to formulate it. Ye Ren is not a sage, let alone an emperor.

Jiang Fan's words implied that he wanted to be the emperor.

He turned pale with fear, and quickly tried to argue, "This is a ritual that has been established since ancient times. How dare I make a private appointment? You..."

He was so angry that he pointed at Jiang Fan, but when he said this, he was stunned.

He was also in a hurry, so he used the so-called etiquette to refute. But since ancient times, there has been no etiquette that stipulates that the emperor cannot close a case outside.

Shi Wenzong, Huang Zhenren and other court officials were also stunned when they heard what Jiang Fan said. What he said was well-reasoned and they had no reason to refute it.

Fortunately, Shi Wenzong was indeed a great scholar. He quickly stepped forward and said in a hurry, "Your Majesty is the supreme ruler. How can you close a case in such a wilderness? If you do so, it will be disgraceful to Your Majesty. You will lose your dignity. Your Highness the Eighth Prince asked Your Majesty to do this. What is your intention? Do you want Your Majesty to lose your dignity in front of others... and become a laughing stock in history?"

"That's right, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince wants to harm Your Majesty, please understand!" Huang Zhenren and other court officials reacted and quickly echoed.

As soon as they said this, they looked at each other, and a sense of pride rose in their eyes.

The charge was quite harsh. It not only stopped Jiang Fan from making trouble, but also turned the tables on him.

Chu Xinghe's face changed slightly when he heard this. If Emperor Yan really believed what these court officials said, he would probably become angry and have a bad impression of Jiang Fan.

The other court officials had complicated expressions and all looked at Jiang Fan with pity. Facing the counterattack launched by Ye Ren and others, Jiang Fan was probably powerless to fight back.

Many court officials sighed, feeling that Jiang Fan was extremely confused and that all their previous efforts had been wasted.

Even if Emperor Yan loves Jiang Fan very much, when it comes to his own reputation, he will probably be angry at Jiang Fan's reckless behavior.

Emperor Yan frowned, his expression was obviously a little ugly, no one knew what he was thinking. Everyone thought that Ye Ren and others' remarks might have worked.

However, just when everyone thought that Jiang Fan was unable to refute and that Emperor Yan would have a bad impression of him, Jiang Fan smiled faintly and said, "I thought it was you who had bad intentions."

"Father is a famous emperor throughout history. How can his actions be influenced by the so-called etiquette? Not to mention, there has never been any etiquette that says that the emperor cannot close a case and pronounce a verdict in public? You say that Father is losing dignity by closing the case here, but I think that if Father closes the case here, it would be the act of a wise emperor."

"The issue of grain tax is related to people's livelihood, public anger, and public resentment. The people want to know the truth of this matter the most. Can you see the people around you? Father is concluding this case here, just in time to give an explanation to all the people in the world."

"This just proves that my father loves the people like his own children. Your Majesty will be loved by the people even more. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Your Majesty, who is loved by the people, will lead Dayan to prosperity!"

"As His Majesty's ministers, you do not think about sharing His Majesty's worries and making His Majesty loved by the people, but instead curse His Majesty to be infamous for eternity. What is your intention? How can such a person who serves in a vacant position and does nothing claim to be a minister who is loyal to the emperor and loves the people?!"

Jiang Fan's voice was clear, every word was meaningful, and every sentence was ear-opening. It immediately resonated with the surrounding court officials and the people. Even Emperor Yan felt happy after hearing it and nodded repeatedly.

Especially what Jiang Fan said about the famous emperors of all ages, who were heading for a prosperous era, was very much in his heart, not to mention that they were loved by the people. He couldn't help but cheer out loud.

But he was the emperor and had to maintain his dignity, so he endured it.

Chu Xinghe, however, didn't care about that and immediately shouted loudly.

"Well said, it makes so much sense! Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty is a famous monarch throughout the ages!"

Following his help, all the people around him who already loved Jiang Fan very much suddenly knelt on the ground, and some of them followed suit and said in unison:

"Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty is a wise ruler throughout the ages, please make the decision for all the people in the world!"
