The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 437: Morning Court

Under the escort of Zhong Ling and the Chu brothers, Jiang Fan came to the Suzaku Gate, accompanied by the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Prince of the Great Western Dynasty.

Jiang Fan left them in the car, preparing to quietly send them in, because he was very useful! And he got out of the car.

As soon as they got off the carriage, the court officials were stunned to see Jiang Fan, and most of them came up to greet him with joy on their faces.

Among them was Su Yuanguang, and many court officials who had already defected to Jiang Fan's faction. They were all extremely enthusiastic.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that the envoys from the Great Western Dynasty will not have anything good to say in the court today. What attitude do you think we should take towards them?!" Su Yuanguang looked at Jiang Fan and said.

Although Jiang Fan was his son-in-law now, he didn't dare to really regard himself as Jiang Fan's father-in-law. He still understood the difference between the monarch and his subjects.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the envoys from the Great Western Dynasty are extremely rampant. I heard that their Seventh Princess and Ninth Prince have also been abducted. I'm afraid they will cause trouble in court!"

"Right now, the situation between us and them is very delicate, and it's hard to tell who will win or lose. If they make any excessive demands, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to deal with it!"

"My Lord, what do you think?"

The others also asked one after another.

Although Dayan seems to have the advantage now, the problem is that the Dashi Dynasty sent another 150,000 troops directly to Weizhou Pass, and the remaining 300,000 were confronting Dayan's 240,000 troops.

If we compare them by the number of troops, the Daxi Dynasty had more than 450,000 troops. If we count the remnants of the army that escaped after several major battles, there would be 470,000 to 480,000 troops.

The total number of troops of Dayan is only 310,000, and the difference in strength is too great. The possibility of Dayan losing is very high.

This is just one of the reasons. Even if the two sides are evenly matched, a battle of this scale will surely kill hundreds of thousands of people. After the battle, Dayan will definitely be severely damaged.

If possible, this kind of war that causes large-scale casualties should be avoided.

After all, soldiers are also human beings. If they die, their families will be sad and upset. There is no need to force them to sacrifice unless it is absolutely necessary.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Yan'er has not attacked Jiangyue City. In fact, Chu Yan'er is still waiting for Jiang Fan's decision and attitude.

"Care about it! There is nothing to worry about. If the Great Western Dynasty is more humble, maybe we can give them a chance. If they really can't put themselves in the right position, then don't give them face!"

Jiang Fan said to everyone with a faint smile.

When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned, but after they reacted, admiration and enthusiasm unconsciously appeared on everyone's face.

Jiang Fan's words seemed very calm, but there was such dominance in them that few people could do it. They were timid, but the King of Qin obviously didn't want to endure it!

Although the current situation seems to be unfavorable to Dayan, all the court officials have inexplicable confidence in Jiang Fan.

It seems that as long as the King of Qin wants to do something, he will succeed.

"Your Majesty is so powerful. Only Your Majesty has such courage. I can't wait!"

"Yes, with the prince here, a small Great Western Dynasty is nothing more than a pile of dirt!"

All the court officials immediately flattered Jiang Fan.

If it were in the past, most of them would not have taken Jiang Fan seriously, and would only take pictures of other princes.

But now, those princes who went against Jiang Fan have either died or escaped. How can the remaining princes be compared with Jiang Fan?

Jiang Fan is now the most popular person in the whole Yan! Not only because he is the most advantageous among the sons of Emperor Yan, but also because no one can threaten him now.

However, Fan Xian looked at Jiang Fan with a dark and unclear look in his eyes. There were only five or six pitiful people following him.

These people should be Fan Xian's most trusted subordinates, but unfortunately, they can no longer cause any trouble in the court!

Jiang Fan glanced at Fan Xian with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

If Fan Xian behaves well, Jiang Fan can keep him for a few days, but if he dares to jump out, Jiang Fan doesn't mind expelling him from the court directly.

Everyone walked towards the Golden Palace in front of them. After arriving at the Golden Palace, the court officials stood on both sides. On the side of the military generals, the generals led by Ning Zhen and Chu Xinghe had not returned because they were on the expedition outside.

Jiang Fan stood in front of the generals. As for the other princes, no one knew why Emperor Yan had canceled their right to participate in the political debate.

Apart from Jiang Fan, no other princes were seen in the court.

This is a signal sent by Emperor Yan to everyone that Jiang Fan will be the only heir to Great Yan, and everyone else is better off giving up this idea.

On the side of civil officials, Fan Xian and Su Yuanguang stood in the first row, with Fan Xian standing slightly behind. Originally, the left was the most respected position, but now the right was the most respected!

As for those officials who were not close to Jiang Fan, most of them were relatives of other princes. They were probably unwilling to give up, so they did not get close to Jiang Fan.

Just after all the court officials took their seats, the chief eunuch Liu Fu walked in. He looked at Jiang Fan and nodded imperceptibly, and Jiang Fan responded with a smile.

The old eunuch's eyes flashed with joy and relief, and then he collected his thoughts and shouted to the hall: "Your Majesty has arrived..."

Following his voice, Jiang Fan and other court officials quickly knelt down to greet him.

"Welcome to our emperor! Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Amidst the shouts, Emperor Yan walked from the back to the front, his steps like a dragon and a tiger, his face glowing. At this moment, he no longer looked as depressed as he had been a while ago.

With Jiang Fan around, no matter how many crises threatened Dayan, they were easily resolved. Now, his beloved Concubine Ning had given him a pair of twins. How could he not feel refreshed? He was in a good mood!

As soon as he entered the hall, Emperor Yan saw Jiang Fan, who was sitting at the top of the list of generals. He was slightly stunned, and then a look of joy appeared on his face. He was worrying about the envoys from the Great Western Dynasty.

He also didn't know how to treat the envoys from the Great Western Dynasty. It wasn't that he was a stupid emperor, but the current situation between the two sides was so complicated that one move could affect the whole body.

If he was not careful, the decision he made might have far-reaching consequences. In addition, he had an instinctive trust in Jiang Fan, and a hint of dependence that he himself was not aware of, so he was of course delighted to see Jiang Fan coming to attend the court meeting.

He received the news that Jiang Fan had returned yesterday. He had originally intended to notify Jiang Fan to come and see him after the court meeting today.

He also knew that his son had worked hard and wanted Jiang Fan to have a good rest for a few days. He did not expect Jiang Fan to appear in the court today.

But thinking about the diplomatic corps coming to see him today, it’s not surprising that my son would come after hearing the news!

He sat on the dragon chair, raised his hand and shouted softly: "Everyone, please stand up!"

Following his voice, the entire court shouted "Thank you, Your Majesty" and everyone stood up.
