The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

The next day, Jiang Fan woke up at dawn, did some boxing in the yard, and then started to make a fire and cook. The maid who took care of him was used to it.

On the second day after Jiang Fan came to the Chu Mansion, he started to make fire and cook. The maids wanted to help, but Jiang Fan only let them do some things like making fire and cutting vegetables.

Jiang Fan did the rest himself. For breakfast he steamed a basket of steamed buns, cooked some porridge, and fried a few dishes.

Just as breakfast was ready, the Chu brothers came over. The two brothers began to get used to eating and drinking at Jiang Fan's place.

During the meal, Jiang Fan handed the drawings he had drawn and the method of brewing wine he had written to Chu Chengxiong.

"Today, Xiaoqi will go to the wine shop to help, and Laoliu will go to the military camp with me."

He planned to let Chu Chengxiong take charge of the winemaking, while Chu Chengrui would be responsible for his safety. Although he had to pursue his career, he couldn't forget the bet. He had to keep an eye on those people's training.

After all, in addition to the battle formation, he also had to teach these people some simple tactical gestures and flags, so that he could command them at that time.

The two brothers nodded, and Chu Chengxiong was full of gratitude and expectation in his eyes. Chu Chengrui rolled his eyes when he saw his brother's useless look.

After finishing their meal, the three of them went out.

On the other side, Chu Xinghe went out to attend the morning court, and Chu Yan'er also went to the military camp under the escort of the guards from the general's mansion.

Mrs. Chu listened to the housekeeper's report with a faint smile on her face, and a hint of gentleness.

"You said that the Eighth Prince has been cooking for himself these past two days?" she asked the housekeeper.

"Yes, Madam, the servants said that the Eighth Prince is not arrogant at all and is very approachable! He is different from the other princes. His behavior does not seem like he came from the palace."

Butler Chu Fu replied quickly.

Madam Chu smiled upon hearing this and said calmly, "Master has probably done a good thing this time. If he can defeat Yan'er, my Chu family will do their best to help him. It will be worth it! Okay, you can go down now!"

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper bowed respectfully and turned to leave. Mrs. Chu held the bowl, looked at the dish in front of her, and a smile appeared on her face.

On the other side, the court seemed to be quite lively at this time. As soon as the Emperor of Yan sat on the dragon throne, the Minister of Revenue Huang Zhenren jumped out first.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to tell you!"

As soon as he said this, Emperor Yan's mouth curled up slightly. His expression looked calm, but he was about to laugh in his heart. How could he not know what this old man wanted to say? I'm afraid all the court officials present had guessed it.

"What do you have to report, my dear minister?" Emperor Yan suppressed the smile in his heart and said calmly.

"I report that the Eighth Prince has behaved inappropriately, is arrogant, ostentatious, and reckless, and even participates in gambling. His conduct is low, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him..."

Huang Zhenren spoke with some excitement, his saliva splashed forward, and the muscles on his face twitched.

When the people around saw this scene, they all looked at this guy with pity. He was so excited, it was obvious that he had lost his composure because of the Eighth Prince Jiang Fan.

But, after all, he finally gave his sons two satisfactory names, but now they are all rotten. How can he not be excited? Who would not laugh when mentioning the names of his two sons now!

The court officials came to their senses, and someone immediately echoed, "Your Majesty, what Minister Huang said is absolutely right. As a prince, he should behave properly, be humble and polite. The behavior of the Eighth Prince is really damaging to the reputation and face of the prince, and also to the reputation and face of Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please punish the Eighth Prince severely to maintain the reputation of the royal family. Otherwise, he will bring disgrace to the royal family."

"Your Majesty, I also second the proposal to severely punish the Eighth Prince. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

As soon as one person spoke, more than fifty court officials knelt down in the court. There were only two or three hundred people in the entire court, and more than one-fifth of them wanted to force the Emperor of Yan to punish Jiang Fan.

As for the rest, some either don't want to get involved, some are neutral, or some are observing the situation.

Chu Xinghe, who was standing among them, frowned. He didn't know whether he should stand up to help Jiang Fan or hide away. These people clearly wanted to make Jiang Fan fall into ruin.

He thought about it and decided to wait and see. If possible, he would help Jiang Fan. No matter what, this kid made him feel good.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Yan's face instantly became extremely ugly. He was not a fool, and he knew exactly what these people wanted to do. They just wanted to use this incident to suppress his son.

If it were in the past, he might have really punished Baer with a serious crime in the face of these people's complaints. But now... he sneered in his heart.

Emperor Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the kneeling courtiers. He said coldly:

"Lord Huang, you are accusing the Eighth Prince of being rude, arrogant, ostentatious, and reckless. He even gambles and has low moral character. Do you have any evidence?"

The Emperor's voice was so cold that it made everyone shudder. All the court officials were immediately confused.

They always felt that there was something wrong with Emperor Yan's reaction, but in order to suppress Jiang Fan, they didn't bother to examine Emperor Yan's reaction in detail.

Huang Zhenren was the first to speak:

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince had my second son Huang Siwen's legs broken in the street, and even insulted my son as a scum. This is outrageous, arrogant and ostentatious. He used the marriage granted by Your Majesty as a bet, and he didn't take Your Majesty seriously at all. This is wanton and reckless."

"The Eighth Prince even participated in his own gambling agreement, betting 150,000 taels at the Fugui Casino. That's not all. He was in the casino, and he and the sons of the court officials were the bankers and opened the odds."

"This behavior is really a disgrace to the royal family. It is really low moral character. Your Majesty, please understand!"

Huang Zhenren couldn't suppress his anger when he thought of the names of his two sons being tarnished by Jiang Fan. So, he was excited and thrilled when he listed Jiang Fan's crimes.

"I think that the Eighth Prince has brought disgrace upon the royal family and is unworthy of being a prince. Your Majesty, please demote him to a commoner!"

"Your Majesty, please make your judgment..."

More than fifty court officials knelt down and shouted again, their eyes earnest.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Yan looked at these court officials indifferently, his eyes were cold. He looked at Huang Luren and said:

"Huang Aiqing, you have two sons. One of them frequents brothels and often bullies the people. The other runs a gambling den and forces people to sell their children and ruin their families. It's appropriate to say that they are scum of the gentry and beasts in human clothing!"

"Why did Fan'er break your son's legs, Mr. Huang? Do I need to tell you again? Who gave him the courage to bump into the prince and humiliate him? You should feel lucky that he broke his legs instead of taking his life."

At this point, Emperor Yan's calm voice suddenly became sharper.

"Huang Zhenren, do you really think I am blind? You bullied my son and even came to me to complain about him?"

"You say my son behaves inappropriately, but I think it's you who behaves inappropriately, it's you..." Emperor Yan's voice became even colder.
