The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 438: Arrogant Envoy
Emperor Yan looked at Jiang Fan, waved his hand with a smile and said, "Fan'er, come to me and accompany me to attend the government!"
When Emperor Yan said this, everyone was stunned at first, but soon, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on the faces of the court officials who were attached to Jiang Fan.
How could everyone not understand what the Emperor Yan meant? Going forward to accompany him to attend the government affairs, this was the treatment of the crown prince. Even if he was not crowned as the crown prince, Jiang Fan was probably already the candidate for the crown prince.
In fact, Dayan has always had an unwritten rule that there is no crown prince. The candidates for the crown prince are selected from among the princes.
In history, no one had ever been crowned a prince. Even being crowned a king depended on merit. Otherwise, if one wanted to be crowned a king without merit, he would have to wait until he was 24 years old.
Jiang Fan, however, was crowned the King of Qin at the age of less than 17 due to his great achievements. He was the first prince to be crowned the King, and also the one with the greatest achievements.
Now, among the descendants of Emperor Yan, only Jiang Fan has been crowned king. As for the remaining princes, it is still unknown when they will be crowned kings.
After all, before, fourteen-year-old princes could participate in politics and had the opportunity to be crowned kings. However, since Jiang Fan's rise, Emperor Yan abolished the rule that princes could participate in politics.
It is almost impossible for those princes to make meritorious deeds! There is no chance! When participating in politics, they can also use the opportunity of participating in politics to make meritorious deeds.
But now he doesn't even have the qualifications to participate in politics, let alone any meritorious service. By then, the possibility of becoming a king at the age of 24 might be taken away.
Jiang Fan was slightly stunned when he heard that, then he walked over with a faint smile, looking at Emperor Yan sitting on the dragon throne, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
It is said that Emperor Yan is cold-hearted and indifferent to his family. One look at his princes and his current behavior will reveal this.
However, he was indeed very good to himself. In the eyes of others, he might not be a good father. Or, in other words, before Jiang Fan rose to power, Emperor Yan was not a good father.
But now, his father still had nothing to say to him. At least, all the love was now on him.
"Your son greets His Majesty!" Jiang Fan came to the stairs in front of the dragon throne, walked up the second step, and respectfully bowed to Emperor Yan.
This position is where the government is held. Going up further, the third level is where the dragon throne is located.
"Fan'er, thank you for your hard work on this trip to Nanyue! Your report has been read by the emperor. It is good. You are worthy of being my son! Your contribution to the recovery of Nanyue is unparalleled! If you have anything you want, please tell me at any time!"
At this point, he looked outside the palace, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Let's talk about it in detail after we resolve the Great Western Dynasty issue!"
Following his voice, Liu Fu hurriedly said, "Announce, the envoy from Daxi is here to see you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dashi envoys who were waiting outside walked in. Leading them was Guan Yizhong, followed by Lin Zhengyang.
The two men entered the hall. Guan Yizhong had an arrogant look on his face, while Lin Zhengyang had a calm expression.
Guan Yizhong and Lin Zhengyang bowed slightly and said, "Daxi envoys Guan Yizhong and Lin Zhengyang greet the Emperor of Dayan!"
His action immediately caused dissatisfaction in the court. As a small foreign minister, even if he represented the Emperor of the Great Western Dynasty, it was a bit rude for him to not even kneel and kowtow to the Emperor of Dayan.
"How dare you be so rude to His Majesty the Great Yan! How dare you!"
"You are so arrogant, why don't you kneel down and kowtow!"
All the court officials suddenly shouted loudly, with murderous intent in their eyes.
Guan Yizhong and Lin Zhengyang looked around with a proud look on their faces. Guan Yizhong snorted coldly, "I represent the Great Western Emperor. The Emperor of Yan is on the same level as the Emperor of our dynasty. How can I kneel down? If this matter is reported back to our Great Western Dynasty, I wonder what others will think, and what will the people of our dynasty think? You all know the saying that if the emperor humiliates his subjects, they will die!"
His extremely arrogant words immediately made the other court officials feel stagnant. For a moment, they were speechless.
What he meant was that he was representing the Great Western Emperor and kneeling to your Great Yan Emperor. Doesn't that mean he was asking the Great Western Emperor to kneel? That doesn't make sense!
If the Emperor of Dayan insisted on asking him to kneel down, it would be a slap in the face of the Emperor of Daxi. If this were to spread, people would say that the Emperor of Dayan was narrow-minded.
Even if this news were to get back to the Daxi Dynasty, it would cause public outrage. By then, the Daxi Dynasty and Dayan would fight to the death. Can you bear it?
Seeing all the court officials calm down, Guan Yizhong showed a smug look on his face, and his expression became even more arrogant!
Emperor Yan also frowned. There was anger in his eyes, but he couldn't find any reason to the other party's words.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan smiled playfully and said, "Isn't what Lord Guan said a bit treasonous? Are you trying to rebel against your emperor? "
As soon as he said this, everyone at the scene was stunned. Guan Yizhong's face changed slightly. Jiang Fan put such a big hat on him that he didn't dare to accept it.
Even though his Guan family was at the height of their power in the Great Western Dynasty, they still didn't dare to rebel against the emperor. Otherwise, they would have driven the emperor off the throne and directly supported their third prince!
"Oh... this should be His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. I wonder why His Royal Highness said that!" After calming his mind, Guan Yizhong retorted.
"Why do you say that?! I wonder if Lord Guan is comparing himself to your emperor. Is this considered treason? You are just a minister. You can represent the emperor, but you can only be regarded as a dog of your emperor!"
"If you compare yourself to your own emperor, what else can that be but treason? It is reasonable for your emperor not to kneel to my emperor, but you are just a dog, why can't you kneel to my emperor?!"
"You are a dog, and you want to show your teeth in front of my Majesty. Are you bullying me because I have no one in Dayan? Or do you think my Majesty is kind and will not punish you, a dog?"
"What if my emperor lets you, a dog, gnaw his teeth? Do you think if it gets out, will people say that your emperor can't even manage a dog? If the people of Dayan knew that you, a dog, dared to gnaw your teeth at my emperor, I wonder what they would think!?"
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, there was a dead silence at the scene, but soon there was a burst of laughter, and all the court officials and Emperor Yan showed a playful and sarcastic look on their faces.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yizhong and Lin Zhengyang's faces suddenly turned extremely ugly and they were shaking with anger. Especially Jiang Fan, who kept calling him a dog, which was obviously a scolding to him!
But he had no way to refute it. It was nonsense that he was not the Great Western Emperor. Even if the Great Western Emperor did not care, Guan Yi Zhong himself was afraid that the Great Western Emperor would be jealous.
Saying that you are a dog means admitting that you are a dog, which makes you even more shameless.
Especially Jiang Fan’s words, you compare yourself to the Emperor of the Great West, that is treason, the Emperor of the Great West does not need to kneel, but you, a dog, don’t kneel, aren’t you comparing yourself to the emperor?
Guan Yizhong couldn't bear such a charge! He was afraid of being suspected by the Great Western Emperor. His Guan family was in a strong position and had been walking on thin ice for a long time.
Jiang Fan was simply roasting them on the fire.
