The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 97 One step ahead
Chu Xinghe couldn't help but complain in his heart when he heard this. What's the matter? If your son wasn't in a hurry, I wouldn't bother to come to see you! But he still said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the one who is anxious to see you is not me, but the Eighth Prince. He asked me to deliver a letter to you. He said that you will know once you read the letter!"
There was a flash of surprise in Emperor Yan's eyes, as if he didn't expect his son to be so anxious to find him. He was a little anxious, thinking that something had happened to Jiang Fan. He quickly said to Chu Xinghe:
"Where's the letter? Give it to me quickly!"
Chu Xinghe handed the letter over without delay, and then stood there respectfully, waiting for Emperor Yan to read the letter.
Emperor Yan took the letter, toasted the intact wax seal with fire, then opened the envelope and took out the letter.
When he saw the content above, he stood up instantly with excitement on his face.
"Good...good! Good, he is worthy of being my son, my love for him is not in vain, haha...I owe too much to this son of mine, but he actually thinks of me wholeheartedly, I..."
After the excitement, Emperor Yan's eyes turned slightly red, full of guilt, but more of relief.
Chu Xinghe was stunned, not understanding why Jiang Fan's letter could make the old man Yan Huang so excited and sad. What exactly was written in it?
He was very curious, but he didn't dare to ask. He knew his wife must know about this, because he saw the expression on her face when she received the letter.
However, compared to Mrs. Chu's wisdom, Chu Xinghe is relatively slow.
The content of the letter was very simple. Jiang Fan expressed his fatherly love for Emperor Yan, and then he wrote a formula and drawings of the gunpowder formula he had researched and the weapons he had made.
In addition, he also asked Emperor Yan to help him hold a large-scale trade fair, which would be held in seven days, and he would send someone to bring back the goods.
Although Emperor Yan was somewhat puzzled about Jiang Fan's plan to hold a sales meeting, he did not care. He was still immersed in the joy that his son had handed him the weapon formula for the first time.
As for the trade show, he decided to make it a grand one for his son. He was eager to see what kind of surprise his son could give him.
The current Emperor Yan had already unknowingly developed a deep trust in Jiang Fan, and he didn't care even if things went wrong in the end.
Just from Jiang Fan's few words of missing his family and the gifts he sent, he became more and more doting on his son.
"Shadow, send someone to make the things. Also, give me an order to have the Minister of Revenue Huang Zhenren prepare a trade fair and invite all the major merchants in the capital. Oh, and clear the square of Suzaku Gate to allow the people to participate. Let the Imperial Guards do a good job of security!"
Emperor Yan took out the part about weapon formulas and blueprints, handed it to the shadow beside him, and gave instructions.
Upon hearing this, Shadow took the paper, turned around and left respectfully.
Chu Xinghe and Liu Fu were stunned. They didn't understand what was going on. What was made? And what was the trade show?
Just as the shadow left, Emperor Yan was about to exchange parenting experiences with Chu Xinghe, and at the same time show off in front of Chu Xinghe that he had a good son.
A eunuch came to report that Ye Ren, Huang Zhenren and more than a dozen other court officials were seeking a meeting outside the imperial study.
Emperor Yan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned cold instantly. Why did these guys come here at this time? They were not satisfied with scolding his son recently, and they wanted to scold him in front of him?
He opened his mouth and wanted to say no, but after thinking it over, the Emperor of Yan ordered someone to call in a dozen court officials.
When Ye Ren and others came in and saw Chu Xinghe sitting in the imperial study, they were stunned. They were not sure why Chu Xinghe came here.
However, they thought that Chu Xinghe might have come here to cry to Emperor Yan about his daughter's marriage.
After all, Jiang Fan was criticized for nothing good, and Chu Xinghe probably felt that it was shameful to marry Jiang Fan, so he wanted to ask Emperor Yan to cancel the engagement.
As they thought about this, they ignored Chu Xinghe. Ye Ren was the first to kneel down and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
As he knelt, the rest of the court officials also knelt down and said, "Your Highness has something to report!"
Emperor Yan frowned and looked at his ministers, his eyes becoming even colder.
"Tell me, what do you want to do..." Although he felt that these guys couldn't say anything nice, he still wanted to see what tricks they were going to play.
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince has evil ambitions. He has a powerful thunder weapon, but instead of handing it over to the court, he actually made it privately. He is truly a traitor and is guilty of a heinous crime. Your Majesty, please punish the Eighth Prince for treason!"
Ye Ren spoke first. The court officials who followed him also quickly echoed: "I have reported that the Eighth Prince has the intention of treason. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that the country will be in danger!"
As soon as the ministers finished their reports, Chu Xinghe's heart began to beat wildly. He looked at the ministers in shock, and he remembered what his wife had said.
Although this thunder weapon is good, it will really bring disaster to his son-in-law. He looked at Emperor Yan in astonishment, fearing that Emperor Yan would blame Jiang Fan for this. He opened his mouth and wanted to make a few words to defend Jiang Fan.
But before Chu Xinghe could finish his words, he heard Emperor Yan slam the table and stand up, his eyes full of anger.
Although Chu Xinghe often criticized Emperor Yan in his heart, he still felt a little scared when Emperor Yan got angry. What he wanted to say was slapped down by Emperor Yan.
Seeing Emperor Yan's reaction, Ye Ren and his companions were secretly delighted. They were glad that they had arrived at the right time. It was obvious that Emperor Yan was touched by what they had said.
Some people thought that Emperor Yan was angry because he believed that Jiang Fan was plotting rebellion.
However, just as they were excited, they heard the Emperor Yan angrily scolding: "You are so bold that you dare to slander my son. Do you think I am a fool, a foolish and incompetent person, and allow you to slander and frame my son?"
As soon as Emperor Yan said this, Ye Ren and others were stunned for a moment.
What?! Slander? Discredit!? Why would Emperor Yan speak for that kid?
Shouldn't he be so angry that he ordered the arrest of Jiang Fan? Even if he didn't order the arrest, he would still feel resentful? But why is this reaction now?
Ye Ren and other ministers were dumbfounded. Why did the vicious plan they had come up with seem to be useless?
However, Ye Ren reacted and thought that Emperor Yan was just pretending, so he quickly said:
"Your Majesty, what I said is true. Since the Eighth Prince had already invented the Sky Thunder weapon, why didn't he present it to Your Majesty earlier? Now that he has created it, he has no intention of presenting it to Your Majesty. His evil ambition is obvious. Please investigate it carefully."
All the court officials reacted and quickly agreed.
"Your Majesty, please investigate!"
"Ming Cha... hehe... what a good Ming Cha..." Emperor Yan smiled coldly. These people really thought he was an idiot.
If his son had reacted a little slower and sent him the formula drawings later, he might have really misunderstood his own Qilinzi.
"Okay... I'll check it out for you guys... Come on, set up the martial arts arena and tell Shadow to bring the things to me within an hour! By the way, have the people in charge of the Criminal Department come over and wait, because I want to dampen the arrogance of some people today!"
Emperor Yan shouted coldly and said hurriedly.
