The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

"If we reform the cabinet, will your father-in-law, Prime Minister Su, have any ideas?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan looked at Jiang Fan and said. He did not object to this matter.

The cabinet system would make the imperial power more centralized. He actually wanted to set up a cabinet, not only because the cabinet would centralize the imperial power, but also because it would make the emperor's work easier.

Ever since Jiang Fan showed his powerful ability, Emperor Yan had actually begun to think about withdrawing. Otherwise, he would not have handed over the military power to Jiang Fan.

No one knew what the Emperor Yan was thinking. Perhaps it was to make up for Jiang Fan, but the Emperor Yan's favor for Jiang Fan had reached the point where even his ministers were envious.

All the court officials had one understanding in their minds, that is, if Jiang Fan was named crown prince, his position as crown prince would be the most stable.

Even if he was not crowned as the crown prince, it was a foregone conclusion that Jiang Fan would become the next king. If Jiang Fan rebelled, the Emperor of Yan would even send all his men to Jiang Fan to ensure that his rebellion would succeed.

In the eyes of the current Emperor Yan, he has only one son, and that is Jiang Fan. The rest can only be considered his offspring.

Didn’t you see that in order to secure Jiang Fan’s throne and avoid any complications, Emperor Yan even wanted to kill his two remaining sons.

"I have already discussed this matter with my father-in-law, and he agrees with my idea." Jiang Fan smiled at Emperor Yan.

At this point, he looked at Emperor Yan with a complicated expression and said, "Father, I am taking over your position. Would you think I am ambitious? I want to replace you!"

Although Jiang Fan felt that Emperor Yan would not harbor any grudge against him, he still thought it would be better for him to speak out.

After all, the cheap father in front of him was really good to him. He didn't want a rift to appear between them.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan looked at Jiang Fan in surprise. Looking at Jiang Fan's serious expression and the complexity in his eyes, he suddenly smiled.

"So what if you have big ambitions? How can my son not have ambitions? Besides, my kingdom will be given to you sooner or later. You are devoted to the kingdom and the people, I should comfort you! Instead of harboring any grudge against you. Don't take Cui Jing's words to heart!"

He also heard what Cui Jing said. Jiang Fan's words at this time made him realize that Jiang Fan was afraid that he would be influenced by Cui Jing's words.

"If Fan'er is willing, I can pass the throne to you now, and I will be the emperor emeritus. What do you think, Fan'er?" Emperor Yan looked at Jiang Fan and said.

Jiang Fan heard this and looked at Emperor Yan. Although he didn't know whether his adopted father was testing him, Jiang Fan still shook his head and said:

"Father, I don't really want to be an emperor. If I hadn't been forced, I would have wanted to be an ordinary prince for the rest of my life. Mother gave me the name Fan because she hoped I could live an ordinary life."

"Father, I want to enjoy my life for a few more years. Please take the throne for me. I will clear all the obstacles for you and make you the most wise and powerful emperor in the world. We will expand our territory and create a prosperous era that will last for thousands of years. All the lands that the sun and the moon shine on will belong to China!"

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Emperor Yan's eyes lit up, revealing a look of joy and yearning.

If this is true, then he would definitely be famous throughout the ages, admired by future generations, and even be called the greatest emperor of all time. What a great honor this would be.

"Okay... okay... Fan'er, just go ahead and do it. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will fully support you!" Emperor Yan laughed cheerfully.

He knew that Jiang Fan was capable of accomplishing everything he said. After all, everything his son had done during this period of time proved this.

Jiang Fan heard this and said with a smile: "Father, I need your help with something..."

He presented what he had written to the Emperor of Yan, which described how to form a cabinet, distribute the land tax according to the acreage, reform the tax system, and nationalize the land.

Another thing is to change the current system of village and town officials.

For example, in the past, the gentry served as the head of the village or town, and the power was in the hands of the landlords.

But now, the people in villages and towns will choose their own village heads and village directors, and other than that, elections will be held every three years.

He wrote many plans based on many experiences of later generations and gave detailed explanations.

When he saw the contents of the plan, he was puzzled at first, but then he became more and more pleased and satisfied. He looked up at Jiang Fan with a strong sense of pride in his eyes.

The Emperor of Yan never imagined that his son not only had strong military capabilities, amazing talent, and the ability to make money, but now also had such a high talent for politics and governing the country.

He was really very satisfied. With such an heir, did he still need to worry about the decline of Dayan?

The entire Great Yan will only become stronger and stronger, and eventually become the only country in the world. All the lands that the sun and the moon shine on are Han territory.

After talking to Emperor Yan for a few more words, Jiang Fan was arranged by Emperor Yan to go to the harem. He had not seen his mother and sister for a long time.

When they arrived at the mother's bedroom, Jiang Fan's mother was accompanying Concubine Ning and the two little ones. His younger sister Jiang Xing was also there.

The two little ones were the twins born to Concubine Ning. They were almost one year old and were learning to walk on the soft carpet. A palace maid was supporting the two little ones.

Concubine Ning's eyes were full of satisfaction and happiness. Jiang Fan's mother looked at the two little ones tenderly. Jiang Xing was also there to help the two little ones learn to walk.

When they saw Jiang Fan coming in, they all showed joy on their faces and stood up to greet him.

Jiang Xing ran over even faster and threw herself into Jiang Fan's arms, her eyes full of joy.

"Myna, you're back... Xing'er misses you... You don't come to see Xing'er..." The little girl is almost twenty years old, but she is still like a child.

Because she had not found a good husband, Jiang Xing had not married yet. The Emperor of Yan had also chosen several husbands for Jiang Xing.

However, Jiang Xing didn't like it, and Jiang Fan was not satisfied with the people chosen by Emperor Yan. He didn't want his sister to suffer and meet the wrong person.

Jiang Fan looked at his innocent and lovely sister and stroked her hair gently. This little girl was like a blank sheet of paper. She was carefree and innocent.

However, it's better this way, without the intrigue, the whole person is as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

"Myna, are you not coming to see Xing'er?" Jiang Fan smiled at his sister, with a doting look on his face.

"Myna, did you see that... the brothers and sisters can walk now. They are so cute..." The little girl quickly pulled Jiang Fan to the two little ones, with a doting look on her face.

Jiang Fan looked at the two little ones. They were fair and tender, and were sizing him up with curious eyes. The two little guys put their hands in their mouths, drooling, and looked at Jiang Fan with innocent faces.

When Concubine Ning saw this, she quickly came over to hold the two little ones, pointed at Jiang Fan and said to them, "Come on... call me brother... If there is no brother, there will be no you!"
