The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Most of the court officials looked at Jiang Fan differently, but those who were attached to the princes had black faces, felt aggrieved and angry, but they could do nothing about it.

However, at this time, Shi Wenzong, the chief academician of the Imperial College, jumped out and wrote an article criticizing Jiang Fan.

They said that Jiang Fan, as a prince, boiled excrement, which was a disgrace to the royal family. They also said that boiling excrement was a disgrace to the civilized world. Even if powerful weapons were made, it would be detrimental to the harmony of nature and bring shame to the saints and sages.

As soon as this great scholar and role model of literature spoke out, he immediately attracted the admiration of many talented scholars and court officials, who all joined the ranks of criticizing Jiang Fan.

The literati and scholars were jealous of Jiang Fan's marriage to the most talented woman in the capital. The better Jiang Fan performed, the more likely the marriage would be successful. How could they ruin the marriage without throwing some dirty water on Jiang Fan?

The court officials who were attached to the prince, of course, wanted to take this opportunity to step on Jiang Fan and make it easier for their masters to take the throne.

Anyway, these people criticize without any reason, but they also criticize with confidence.

When Emperor Yan heard the news, he was so angry that he was shaking all over and almost took up a knife to chop the old man Shi Wenzong to death.

This guy who talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality but only knows how to read books actually said this about his son. This is intolerable, but my uncle cannot tolerate it!

To say anything to him now would be dishonorable to the royal family, insulting to civility, detrimental to the harmony of nature, and would bring shame to the saints and ancient sages.

When bandits were rampant, the enemy invaded the border, burned, killed, looted, and harmed the people, why didn't he stand up to save the situation? He just knew how to talk shit.

If this guy wasn't a great scholar and a role model for the literati, touching him would cause resistance from the literati and might damage the foundation of the country. He really wanted to cut this guy into pieces.

Of course, where there are people who criticize him, there are also people who defend him, and there are also ordinary people who support Jiang Fan.

Although Jiang Fan had been laughed at by the people for what he had done before, when they heard that he had miraculously solved the bandit problem, they almost regarded Jiang Fan as a god.

In addition, Jiang Fan solved the people's livelihood problem, which seemed like cheating, but at least Jiang Fan was caring about the people.

Therefore, when scholars and officials criticized Jiang Fan, many people among the people jumped out to criticize him back, and among these people there were many scholars from humble families, all of whom were talented and learned.

They were merciless in their criticism. Some people even went to the doors of the scholars, officials and court officials who were criticizing them and threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at them.

This made the scholars, court officials and others miserable.

Then, the two sides had another more intense round of verbal abuse. You called me uneducated and insulting the ancients, and I called me a scum of culture and a beast in human clothing.

I have to mention here that Huang Yi Guan and Huang Si Wen felt very helpless. The feeling of being shot while lying down made them want to die.

Because of the two idioms coined by Jiang Fan, these two idioms are now the most cruel way to insult scholars and literati.

He always says, you are a scum of society, a beast in human clothing.

For this reason, Huang Zhenren expressed his determination to change his son's name, but his two sons' names were already famous, so it would be useless even if he changed them.

Therefore, in this quarrel, the ones who were most hurt were the Huang family, father and son.

Huang Siwen regretted his decision so much at this moment. If he had known earlier, he should not have been so shameless as to go and cause trouble for Jiang Fan in the street.

The hustle and bustle of the capital city gave Emperor Yan both a headache and amusement, but he was also happy to see Shi Wenzong and a group of court officials and talented scholars being criticized.

Sometimes, he would even send troops from the Jingzhao Prefecture's inspection department to take sides.

The new prefect of Jingzhao immediately understood the Emperor Yan's intention, and he would find a reason to beat up anyone who criticized the Eighth Prince.

Anyway, no matter who was right or wrong when the two sides had a conflict, he would judge the side that criticized the Eighth Prince as wrong.

The move by Emperor Yan immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the people, and made those talented scholars, great Confucian scholars and court officials dare not show up.

As they retreated, the people gradually stopped their movements.

However, the situation was finally calmed down.

But when Jiang Fan picked flowers, picked soap beans, dug river sand in Huaining Prefecture, and bought a winery, buying all the wine in the county after the three lists were announced.

Suddenly, the anti-ordinary faction, led by the great scholar Shi Wenzong of the time, started to criticize again.

They say the Eighth Prince is a playboy, but as soon as he achieves a little success, his old habits return and he starts to act like a mischief again. He thinks boiling manure is the same as making weapons, but why does he send people to dig stones?

Now they are asking people to pick flowers and weeds, dig sand, and buy wine? This is obviously not solving the livelihood of the people, and they are cheating at their own expense.

Anyway, these people seized on these things and blasted Jiang Fan, criticizing him completely and saying that he was completely useless.

The people were so angry that they didn't know how to refute for a while, but some people didn't want the God in their hearts to be criticized, so they came out to defend themselves.

It is said that although what the Eighth Prince did was a bit ridiculous, he did it out of kindness and did not want the people to suffer, so he would rather pay out of his own pocket to help the people overcome their difficulties.

The eighth prince is handsome and kind-hearted, and is regarded by the people as a god who saves people from suffering.

In fact, the people have a good impression of Jiang Fan and worship him as a god, not only because of his miraculous methods, but also because Jiang Fan really cares about the people.

He would rather lose his own money than not support the people. Although he was a little absurd and seemed a little incompetent, as long as he was good to the people, the people would of course like him.

But the problem is that the people's counterattacks were quickly retorted by Shi Wenzong and others.

Their reason is very simple, that is, a bet is a bet, and what is bet is real ability, not cheating.

Jiang Fan's behavior is cheating and taking shortcuts, which is disgraceful and brings shame to the saints.

They held the righteousness and truth, and suddenly the people didn't know how to respond. In this round, the people of the Baofan faction were at a disadvantage. The Pengfan faction was one step ahead!

The common people are helpless, but they don't want to blame Jiang Fan for his incompetence. After all, Jiang Fan is doing it for the good of the common people. His actions are criticized, but his starting point is good, and the common people will not be ungrateful and accuse Jiang Fan of making them lose.

Inside the palace, when Emperor Yan received the news, he stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He originally thought that his son would give him peace of mind, but he never expected that within just one day, his son would do something like this again. Who could he go to for justice?

Although the matter of boiling manure was caused by the manufacture of the thunder weapon, which slapped the faces of many court officials, the problem of digging stones has not been solved yet, and now the problems of picking flowers and grass, digging sand and buying wine have emerged.

He felt that his son was too troublesome and caused him too much worry.

The Emperor of Yan could only let those people criticize him. Although he felt aggrieved, he could only grit his teeth and endure it. He couldn't jump out and punish those trolls. He was the emperor and had many things to consider.

On the Chu family's side, Chu Xinghe and Madam Chu had just felt proud of themselves for finding a good son-in-law, but when the stories of picking flowers and grass, digging sand and buying wine came out, the couple felt both angry and amused.

This son-in-law doesn't want to make them feel comfortable for a moment.
