The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 41 If one plan fails, try another

Huang Zhenren and the other court officials who participated in the memorial were stunned for a moment. How could this be different from what they thought? Wasn't the Emperor of Yan so angry that he wanted to punish Jiang Fan?

Why didn't the Emperor of Yan punish Jiang Fan, but instead protected his son? Moreover, calling the son of a court official a scum and a beast in human clothing, is that okay?

Huang Zhenren was so scared that he trembled, but he was also very angry in his heart. He was obviously here to discredit Jiang Fan, but why did he feel that things were not going right?

What he could not have expected was that when the interpretation of his two sons' names reached Emperor Yan, it was equivalent to being directly concluded by Emperor Yan.

In the future, the interpretation of his son's name will definitely be spread more widely. Didn't you see that Emperor Yan has already confirmed this interpretation!

Thinking of this, he became angrier and more unwilling.

"But the Eighth Prince is gambling with the marriage granted by Your Majesty. This is indeed reckless and shows that he does not take Your Majesty seriously. Moreover, as a prince, he is gambling, which is really damaging to the reputation of the royal family." Huang Zhenren was still unwilling to give up and spoke out quickly.

He sneered in his heart. Jiang Fan's gambling was obviously to embarrass Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan should be angry this time.

Chu Xinghe, who was below, also broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. Huang Zhenren was stirring up trouble here. Wouldn't this definitely make Emperor Yan angry?

Originally, this was a bet between them, and as long as they didn't get involved, Qiao Mimi and the other party would be able to resolve it.

Either his Chu family recognized the marriage, or Jiang Fan went to the Emperor Yan to cancel the engagement himself. There was no such thing as not taking the Emperor Yan seriously.

Huang Zhenren is exaggerating the matter and raising it to a moral high ground.

However, just when Huang Zhenren thought that Emperor Yan would be furious after hearing this, he never expected that Emperor Yan would slightly curl his lips and say lightly:

"My son's marriage can be handled however he wants. I didn't say anything. How come you are acting recklessly? Are you trying to sow discord between me and my son by saying this? What exactly is your intention, Huang Zhenren?"

As soon as Emperor Yan said this, the court fell silent and everyone stood still. No one could have imagined that Emperor Yan would actually say this.

Moreover, when he called Huang Zhenren, he no longer called him "Huang Aiqing" but only called him by his name. This was obviously a sign of anger. The Emperor of Yan actually scolded Huang Zhenren for the sake of the Eighth Prince.

What was even more unexpected was that the Emperor of Yan spoke again: "You said that my son's participation in gambling undermines the dignity of the royal family. I wonder, Mr. Huang, if you open a gambling house, does that mean you have lost the character of a minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Will your two sons' actions in the capital damage the reputation of your Shangshu Mansion? By the way, there should be many sons among those present who participated in the gambling. If I were to investigate my sons for their misconduct, then you should also think about how to punish your own sons!"

"Are you saying that I am a bad parent?"

At the end, the words "bad parenting" suddenly made all the court officials' hearts jump, and they were all so scared that they dared not say a word.

They finally came to their senses. They were forcing Jiang Fan like this, and every word they said was belittling Jiang Fan, but they were also using Jiang Fan's case to accuse Emperor Yan of not being able to teach his son.

Thinking of this, everyone was frightened into silence. If they dared to bring up these things again, Emperor Yan would probably act arbitrarily and they would all be in trouble.

Huang Zhenren was so shocked by Emperor Yan that he couldn't even speak. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

Several princes who attended the court meeting looked at each other, their eyes full of jealousy and anger. They couldn't understand why Jiang Fan was so favored by his father.

"Your Majesty is wise... The Eighth Prince has an upright character and good conduct, and is a role model for all other princes! Your Majesty is lucky to have such a son."

At this moment, Chu Xinghe quickly jumped out and bowed to agree.

As soon as he said this, Emperor Yan turned to look at him with an ambiguous look on his face.

You have good character and are a role model for all the princes. Don't you feel guilty?

Besides, what on earth do you want to do? You want to break off the engagement by betting with others, and now you come to flatter them. Can you be a human being?

Chu Xinghe looked at the reactions of the crowd and curled his lips. What’s the matter? I like flattery, is that not allowed?

Chu Xinghe and his family are now caught in a vicious circle. They want to support Jiang Fan, but are afraid that Jiang Fan will not be able to succeed.

However, even though the Chu family has conflicts, it does not prevent Chu Xinghe from liking Jiang Fan. He cannot bear to see these guys bullying Jiang Fan.

Regardless of whether Jiang Fan can become his son-in-law, at least now, Jiang Fan and him are still father-in-law and son-in-law.

Although the others didn't understand what Chu Xinghe was thinking, once they realized what was going on, they certainly didn't dare to go against Emperor Yan's wishes.

The court officials who had reacted also quickly echoed, "Your Majesty is wise. It is your Majesty's fortune to have a son like the Eighth Prince!"

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred court officials followed suit and said, if they didn't flatter the Emperor Yan at this time, when would they flatter him?

Seeing the sudden change in the wind direction in the court, Huang Zhenren and a group of court officials who wanted to impeach Jiang Fan were all dumbfounded. How the hell did things turn out like this?

Huang Zhenren, in particular, felt bitter. Damn it, I came here to seek justice, but not only did I not get justice, but I was also nailed to the rack of shame.

Just because of what Emperor Yan said, shouldn’t your two sons be called scum of gentlemen and beasts in human clothing?

His two sons had to change their names, otherwise, when others saw him or his two sons in the future, they would come up to greet them.

"Your two sons have really good names. The scum of gentleman, the beast in human clothing! The Huang family! Scum, beast, hello!"

Just thinking about it made Huang Zhenren so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he hated Jiang Fan even more in his heart.

However, this old guy was very patient. Even if he was almost going crazy with anger, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"Your Majesty is wise and I am shortsighted... Please forgive me!" He didn't dare to argue with Emperor Yan anymore.

It was not only because Emperor Yan protected Jiang Fan, but also because Emperor Yan's retorts left him with no way to refute.

Who made his two sons not only have unworthy names, but also behave like inhuman beings, giving people a handle on them?

Seeing Huang Zhenren's flattery being rejected, Emperor Yan sneered, while the court officials were full of contempt and pity.

The princes gritted their teeth and their eyes were about to spit fire.

They originally wanted to use today's court meeting to discredit Jiang Fan, but they never expected that in the end, all the court officials who impeached Jiang Fan were defeated in disgrace.

At this moment, a courtier with a square face came out and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I am very curious about the bet between the Eighth Prince and Chu Yan'er, the extraordinary girl of the Chu family. I wonder if Your Majesty would allow me to see the Eighth Prince and watch this bet."

As soon as this person said this, the eyes of the court officials who wanted to impeach Jiang Fan suddenly lit up. What was the purpose of their visit? Of course, to bring down Jiang Fan.

When one plan failed, another one came to the rescue. And the first one to speak out was the left prime minister, so his appeal was great.
