Chapter 148 Ye Xiang, your head is buzzing
Emperor Yan stared at Jiang Fan blankly. Seeing his son's calm and composed look, he felt a surge of pride. He realized that his son was really amazing.
No wonder he remained calm the whole time; it turned out that his son was truly talented and his new approach to solving the problem was simply amazing.
"Prime Minister Ye, you ministers? I wonder how I solved this problem? Are you satisfied?" Jiang Fan looked at Ye Ren at this time, and then at the court officials who had just mocked him the most fiercely.
His words were like another stab in the back of Ye Ren and several court officials, causing their blood to boil and they were almost choked to the point of vomiting blood.
But they didn't even have a reason to refute. They felt extremely aggrieved and could only smile awkwardly!
"Prime Minister Ye? Do you admit defeat?" Jiang Fan had no intention of letting Ye Ren go, and looked at Ye Ren jokingly.
His words made Ye Ren's face twitch and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Damn it, he had already lost, but Jiang Fan still dragged him out and whipped his corpse.
Besides, he had to answer. Otherwise, people would say he had no generosity and was a person of bad character!
"The truth is... I lost..." Although Ye Ren was unwilling to admit it, he lost and he had no choice but to admit it.
However, just as he admitted defeat, Jiang Fan's teasing voice rang out again.
"In that case, it's time for me to be alone now... Is Ye Xiang ready to take on the question?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ren was stunned at first, but soon he looked at Jiang Fan with a mocking look on his face, his expression indifferent, and even more contempt in his heart.
Jiang Fan actually asked him to take over the question. Didn't this kid know that he was an arithmetic expert? Moreover, he remembered that Jiang Fan said he would return the question with a similar one.
Thinking of Jiang Fan proposing a new solution, he sneered in his heart.
Not to mention that he could solve the same problem faster than others, but now with Jiang Fan's new solution, he could also solve the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage in a short time.
Jiang Fan asked him to take over the question, which was simply a humiliation for himself. Thinking of Jiang Fan's frustrated and angry look when he solved the question himself, he felt refreshed.
"Eighth Prince, please ask the questions. I am waiting... I hope you will not disappoint me!"
He looked proud and confident, with a hint of disdain in his expression.
Upon hearing this, the court officials around were stunned for a moment, then they all shook their heads, looked at Jiang Fan, and sighed.
This round looks like it will be a draw. If Jiang Fan answers with a similar question, Ye Ren will definitely be able to answer it easily, and then Jiang Fan will lose the game.
Although Jiang Fan won one game against Ye Ren, if he lost another game, combined with his arrogant attitude just now, Jiang Fan would probably be scolded to death.
Aren't you awesome? You challenged a group of people alone, but now you still lost!
Some people even wanted to persuade Jiang Fan to just forget it and quit while they were ahead. Emperor Yan also sighed, but did not speak out to stop them.
After all, Jiang Fan had already spoken, and if he stopped him at this time, Jiang Fan would probably be criticized.
As for the princes and the courtiers who depended on them, they immediately perked up when they heard this. They all looked at Jiang Fan with amusement and mockery, as if they had forgotten how they had been defeated just now!
They really hoped that Jiang Fan would ask questions to humiliate himself, and when Ye Ren answered the questions at an extremely fast speed, Jiang Fan would probably be so surprised that his mouth would open wide and his face would be full of shock!
But just when everyone was thinking this, they heard Jiang Fan say calmly: "Prime Minister Ye, just listen to the question... There is an object whose number is unknown. When you count three times three, there are two left. When you count five times five, there are three left. When you count seven times seven, there are two left. What is the number of this object?"
As soon as he said this, the scene fell into dead silence. Everyone stared at Jiang Fan in a daze, not coming back to their senses for a long time.
Ye Ren, who had been so proud and disdainful just now, suddenly became dumbfounded.
The princes and the courtiers who depended on them were also dumbfounded. The pride and disdain that had just appeared on their faces froze on their faces.
Upon hearing this, the court officials around looked at Jiang Fan in astonishment, but soon a playful smile appeared on everyone's face.
Ye Ren, several princes, and court officials who were attached to them thought that Jiang Fan would come up with the chicken and rabbit in the same cage question, but they never expected that Jiang Fan would not play by the rules.
It was such a tricky and strange question that they had never even heard of such a question.
Moreover, how could it be possible that such a weird question would come from the mouth of someone they considered a waste!
Jiang Fan's question is different from the one about chickens and rabbits in the same cage, but the question types are damn similar. Moreover, this question does not seem as complicated as the one about chickens and rabbits in the same cage.
This question may seem simple, but it is actually countless times more complicated. It is hard to understand.
But everyone racked their brains but had no clue at all. If they wanted to use Jiang Fan's solution to the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, it simply wouldn't work.
As a result, all the court officials and princes, or everyone present, were dumbfounded!
"Prime Minister Ye, please answer... I've been waiting... I wonder if this question of mine will disappoint you?" Jiang Fan looked at Ye Ren playfully and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ren stared at Jiang Fan in a daze, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Answer?! He had no idea what to answer. He had never heard of this question before, let alone seen a question like this. He didn't even know how to answer it. What was the point of answering it?
Not to mention only giving him half an incense stick, even if he was given half a day, half a month, or even half a year, he felt that he might not be able to answer.
His face was flushed at this moment, and he felt a little regretful for his words. He said not to let him down, but on the contrary, he really didn't let him down.
It was like nailing him to the rack of shame. Combined with what he said, he was completely disgraced!
"What's wrong? Prime Minister Ye, do you feel your head buzzing?..." Jiang Fan saw Ye Ren's ugly face, smiled, and added jokingly.
As soon as he said this, Ye Ren almost vomited blood on the spot. Was he being mocked? Moreover, he was mocked to such an extent that he could not refute it.
His head was really buzzing, and he still hadn't figured out the answer. He was completely stumped by the question!
When the people around saw this scene, they couldn't help but be amused by Jiang Fan's words and immediately burst into laughter.
They also wanted to join in the fun and say something to Ye Ren.
"Your head is buzzing! Are you stupid?"
But they didn't dare to do so. After all, he was the right prime minister, and they were afraid of retaliation if they mocked him too deliberately!
However, everyone felt happy, and looked at Ye Ren with mockery, contempt, and amusement!
Ye Ren was so angry at the laughter of the crowd that his blood boiled and he wanted to vomit blood.
When Emperor Yan saw this scene, he felt happy again. He looked at his son with even greater satisfaction.
His Qilin Son is still Qilin Son. If he doesn’t take action, it’s fine. But once he does, he makes his enemies feel fear and despair!
As for Emperor Yan and other court officials, they had no way of solving this problem. As soon as they started to calculate, they felt a headache and almost burned out their CPUs!
Ye Ren looked deeply at Jiang Fan, then at Fan Xian, with anger but also helplessness in his eyes.
He knew that if he continued, he would only bring shame upon himself, and it would be very likely that Jiang Fan would find an opportunity to plot against him just as he had plotted against Shi Wenzong.
He is a ruthless old vixen, but he doesn't want to get himself into trouble.
Compared to Shi Wenzong, Ye Ren was more straightforward. He knew that it was useless to hesitate any longer. He could only say coldly, "I... admit defeat... But I don't know what the correct answer is, Prince Eighth?"
Ye Ren simply admitted defeat, but he obviously did not give up. Even if he admitted defeat, he could not let Jiang Fan win so easily.
Not to mention, the questions Jiang Fan asked made him feel like they might be wrong.
He could admit defeat, but he also wanted to see whether Jiang Fan had really come up with a problem that would be solved forever.
If Jiang Fan was just asking questions randomly, he might be able to take this opportunity to ruin Jiang Fan's reputation.
