Chapter 196 Ying Zheng: Wang Qing, Zhao Feng is my son!
At Fusu’s Mansion!

Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, and some ministers who supported Fusu gathered in the palace.

"Today's business."

"Maybe that was a bit abrupt."

Looking at the group of supporters in front of him, Fusu sighed.

"Son."

"What we do today is not abrupt or not, but we have to do it."

"If you don't do it today, you must do it tomorrow."

Wang Wan said in a deep voice that although he had offended Wang Jian in the court today, he had also completely offended Zhao Feng.

But in Wang Wan's opinion, this was something that had to be done.

"Of course I understand this."

"But now, not only has it not been accomplished, but we have offended two families." Fusu sighed.

He naturally understood what Wang Wan meant.

The two families controlled half of the military power of the Qin Dynasty, which was indeed something to be wary of. Thinking that if he were to be named the crown prince and become the king in the future, this might be something to worry about.

"After all, I still underestimated the status of Wang Jian and Zhao Feng in the king's heart."

"I never thought about it."

"This father-in-law and son-in-law hold the military power of two major camps, but the king is not afraid of them at all."

"These two families are a union of father-in-law and son-in-law. Although they cannot influence the court, once there is a change, it can influence the empire of our Great Qin." Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice, his old face full of solemnity.

"Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy, so you naturally think you can keep it under control. Now, our Great Qin is the key to unifying the world, but the conflict between the Wang family and the Zhao family is not in the present, but in the future."

"future."

"Wang Jian and Zhao Feng will gain a higher status through their military achievements. The title of national commander and commander of the Qin army will definitely emerge from between the two of them."

"If this is true, then who in our Great Qin can be as powerful as these two families?" Wang Wan said immediately.

"Your Majesty is indeed a man of great talent and strategy, and he is able to subdue all officials. Naturally, Wang Jian and Zhao Feng can also be subdued."

"But what about the future?"

"If the eldest son is the crown prince, with your kindness, it may be difficult for him to suppress the two of them."

"In the future, their dominance will be so great that it may be impossible to suppress them, or they may even mutiny."

"I have heard that in the Lantian camp, hundreds of thousands of soldiers only respect Wang Jian."

"In the Wu'an camp, the prisoners regard Zhao Feng as their adopted parent. His authority in the army is higher than that of the king."

"Such a serious disaster, yet Your Majesty does not take it seriously."

"Alas." Chunyu Yue also sighed.

Fusu also fell silent.

The words of several supporting ministers fell into his heart, and naturally caused some waves.

"Is it not possible to have both?"

"Wang Jian and Zhao Feng were both loyal and righteous ministers."

"They will not betray the Qin Dynasty." Fusu said slowly.

"indeed."

"At present, the two of them are indeed loyal ministers of the Qin Dynasty, and they are also the support of the imperial court."

"But what about the future?"

"Their prestige in the military is too great."

"If one day they are targeted, if one day they are suppressed by the royal power, can you ensure that they will not commit treason?"

"Wang Jian alone is not a cause for concern."

"Zhao Feng alone is not a concern."

"But if the two of them are put together, that would be a real concern."

"Their fault is not in the present, but in the future."

"It depends on the day when you become king." Wang Wan said seriously.

"Son."

"Now that we have broken off relations with the Wang and Zhao families, they will definitely target you in the future."

"We must strengthen our defenses against these two families in the future."

"Also, secretly search these two families to see if they have done anything that has triggered the law, which may be useful in the future."

"good."

"Although the court did not ask the king to remove Wang Jian's military power today, I think the king must be afraid in his heart. Now the world has not been unified, and the king still needs to rely on the strength of the two. But after the world is unified in the future, commanding the army will be useless, and it will be our home ground all of a sudden."

Wang Wan and others started discussing it.

now.

They all seemed to have one determined goal, which was to be wary of the Wang family and the Zhao family.

As the eldest prince, Fusu seemed to be in a difficult situation even though he was somewhat unwilling at the moment.

It has come to this point.

Even if he doesn't want to fight, his supporters will push him to fight.
-
Inside Zhangtai Palace!

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Wang Jian and Xia Wuqie bowed to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng raised his head and smiled: "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Jian and Xia Wuqie responded at the same time.

This time!

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao who was serving on the side, and the servants serving around him.

"Back off." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"promise."

Zhao Gao bowed and immediately withdrew with his servants.

The palace door was closed.

As the palace door closed.

A group of imperial guards stood ten feet away from Zhangtai Palace to protect it and did not allow anyone to approach.

Eyes turned.

"What the king did in the court today."

"That surprised me." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Return to the king."

"The power that Zhao Feng and I have is actually too great."

"The voices in the court were not deliberately targeted."

"What I said in the court was not false, but came from my heart." Wang Jian replied immediately.

What happened in the court today.

In fact, Wang Jian had thought about it many times, and such a day would come sooner or later.

If Zhao Feng was still just a main general as before, Wang Jian might not feel the crisis, but now Zhao Feng is already a general in charge of an army of 300,000.

The combination of the two poses a huge threat to the king.

Wang Jian knew it very well.

No king could tolerate the existence of such a combination of military power.

No matter how talented and ambitious the king is, he will eventually take it back.

That's the case.

It would be better for Wang Jian to hand it over in advance. This would also give his Wang family a better future. At least they would not be liquidated in the future. Of course, the more important thing was to preserve Zhao Feng's future.

"I understand what Wang Qing means."

"indeed."

"The marriage between two families that hold military power is indeed detrimental to my authority."

"But you are different."

"Zhao Feng is even more different." Ying Zheng smiled slightly, looking at Wang Jian with an exceptionally gentle gaze.

Xia Wuqie on the side also smiled but said nothing.

When Ying Zheng summoned Wang Jian to Zhangtai Palace today, Xia Wuqi naturally guessed something.

Moreover, today Wang Jian was even willing to give up his power in order to protect Zhao Feng in the court, which is enough to prove his sincerity towards Zhao Feng.

Therefore, Xia Wuqie completely accepted Wang Jian as his relative.

And heard what Ying Zheng said.

Wang Jian had a puzzled look on his face, obviously not understanding what it meant.

"How am I different? How is Zhao Feng different?" Wang Jian asked puzzledly.

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian deeply, and then said solemnly: "Because Zhao Feng is my son."

The words fell.

boom!
At this moment, Wang Jian's mind was like a bolt of thunder.

His entire demeanor changed drastically.

He looked at Ying Zheng with wide eyes, as if he had heard it wrong.

Or.

He hadn't thought of this aspect at all.

"What did the king say?"

"I didn't understand." Wang Jian thought he had heard it wrong.

Ying Zheng had a serious look on his face and walked slowly to Wang Jian, only one meter away.

"I said."

"Zhao Feng is Gu's son."

Ying Zheng said almost word for word.

Wang Jian's eyes widened with disbelief, and his heart was in turmoil.

"This this……"

"how come?"

Wang Jian, who was usually calm, began to tremble as he spoke.

"Do you remember the bloodbath that swept through the palace when I first ascended the throne?"

"Do you still remember the woman who followed me when I first returned to the Qin Dynasty?" Ying Zheng laughed, his eyes filled with melancholy.

"Could it be possible...could it be possible that Zhao Feng is the son of that Miss Dong'er and the king?"

"That Dong'er girl is still alive?"

Wang Jian said in a trembling voice, a look of shock appearing on his face at this moment.

This expression also looks extremely scary.

Wang Jian had never looked like this before.

"Live, live well."

"Not only that."

"She also gave birth to a pair of children for me." Ying Zheng said gently.

"How can this be?"

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

"My lord, this isn't a mistake, is it?"

"This concerns the royal family and nobles. There can be no mistake about this."

Wang Jian's voice was trembling and he was frightened.

Deep down I'm more afraid of making a mistake.

If this is wrong, then it will be a real disaster.

And now he heard it.

Not only Zhao Feng will be implicated.

His entire Wang family will also be in ruins.

"A lonely woman."

"Orphan children."

"Do you think I will admit my mistake?"

"Don't you think Zhao Feng looks somewhat similar to me?" Ying Zheng smiled faintly.

Hear the words.

Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng in front of him nervously, and then recalled Zhao Feng's appearance.

The appearance of the two people overlapped in my mind.

"It seems, there is really some similarity." Wang Jian said in his heart in amazement.

And this moment.

Wang Jian thought of one thing in his heart. It was when he was in Handan, Zhao.

The Qin Dynasty had just captured the city of Handan.

That was also the first time Zhao Feng met Ying Zheng.

At that moment.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng walked side by side. At that time, Wang Ben suddenly said something. He felt that the king and Zhao Feng were like father and son, and were very similar.

At that time, Wang Jian also reprimanded Wang Ben.

And now it seems.

Perhaps Wang Ben really saw it at a glance.

"My lord, could it be... could it be true?"

Wang Jian couldn't help but ask again.

In fact, I couldn't help but ask.

This matter is of great importance.

What if Zhao Feng is really the king’s son?

Judging from his age, isn’t he the eldest son?
and.

The girl Dong'er who gave birth to Zhao Feng became the queen.

If you count it.

Zhao Feng!

Doesn't his son-in-law have the right to inherit the throne of Qin?

and.

Zhao Feng's performance was definitely the best among all the princes.

Judging from what the king said, it seems that he really has some ideas.

Isn't that right?

Think of this.

Wang Jian was so frightened that no one could understand his current mood.

"Is it necessary to lie to the general?" Ying Zheng smiled faintly.

Looking at Wang Jian's reaction, Ying Zheng also found it a little funny.

"relatives by marriage."

“It’s all true.”

"Feng'er and Ying'er are truly the king's children."

Xia Wuqie, who was standing aside, stroked his beard and smiled.

"Could the rumors be true?"

"Is Doctor Xia really the father of Miss Dong'er?"

Wang Jian suddenly remembered again.

Wang Jian actually didn't know much about what happened back then, because at that time Wang Jian was still serving as the commander-in-chief in the Lantian camp and was not in the capital.

He didn't even know as much as Wang Wan and the others.

As for the rumors about Xia Wuqie, the king treated him with great kindness.

There are all kinds of rumors in the government and the public.

Some said that Xia Wuqie saved the king, while others said that the king valued Xia Wuqie's medical skills. There were many different opinions, but no one dared to discuss it too much.

"Yes."

"If it weren't for that incident, perhaps I would have become the king's father-in-law." Xia Wuqi replied with emotion.

"father in law."

"In my heart, you will always be."

“It has never changed.”

Ying Zheng turned around and said to Xia Wuqie.

"Haha." Xia Wuqie laughed and was also very moved.

Ying Zheng's filial piety towards him had never changed over the years, so how could Xia Wuqi not feel it?

It’s just that now I’m more looking forward to it.

"Why did the king tell me such a secret?"

“This is a huge matter.”

"If people knew about this, wouldn't the Zhao Feng brothers and sisters be in danger?"

Wang Jian's face changed and he suddenly spoke.

What kind of person is he? He understood the key in just a moment.

"original."

"These things will only be revealed after the Qin Dynasty is completely unified."

"But today in the court, the general showed me your affection for Feng'er."

"He is willing to give up his position as general for Feng'er. This is not something that can be achieved by ordinary father-in-law and son-in-law."

"Just based on this point, I can trust the general." Ying Zheng said with a smile, his eyes showing trust in Wang Jian.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

"There is no royal decree."

"I will never leak this matter."

Wang Jian immediately bowed.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "General, there is no need to say more."

"Speak of it."

"Now you and I are not just a monarch and a subject, but also a relative."

"You gave birth to a good daughter, and you gave me a pair of wonderful grandchildren."

Hear the words.

Wang Jian immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are overpraising me. You have given birth to a good son."

"Zhao Feng rose from obscurity and emerged as a warrior on the battlefield."

"This is not something that mortals can do, but he has risen from a soldier to his current position. This must be because he is the son of the king and is born extraordinary." Wang Jian said in a flattering tone.

Listen to this.

Ying Zheng smiled, but said with emotion: "The general is always serious, I didn't expect that he would say such nice things."

"But the General is wrong."

"It has nothing to do with Zhao Feng being extraordinary and him being my son."

"I have so many sons, but none of them is like him."

"Moreover, they were all taught by famous teachers in the palace, but none of them lived up to their expectations."

"And Feng'er has been raised and taught by his mother since he was young. She is much better than these so-called famous teachers." Ying Zheng said helplessly.

"Your Majesty."

"A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one is different."

"This is also a constant." Wang Jian replied immediately.

"I called the general here today to tell him that Zhao Feng is my son."

"Secondly, it will reassure the general."

"I will doubt anyone, but you."

"Don't mention the so-called retirement and return home again."

"In the future, you will be the national lieutenant."

"It's not that there is no chance." Ying Zheng said to Wang Jian again.

Hear this.

Wang Jian bowed excitedly and said, "I swear to be loyal to you till death."

"All right."

"General, go back and rest."

"The General will keep today's incident in his heart and pretend he never heard of it."

Ying Zheng said no more and waved at Wang Jian.

"I accept the edict."

Wang Jian bowed and retreated out of the hall with a nervous and complicated mood.

Open the temple door.

After Wang Jian walked out, he still had a dazed look on his face.

Apparently, even though he now understood the whole story, Wang Jian still couldn't recover for a long time.

"Farewell, General."

All the guards on duty outside bowed to Wang Jian.

Zhao Gao secretly raised his head and saw Wang Jian, who looked dazed and seemed to be in a trance. He was delighted in his heart: "It seems that Wang Wan and his friends' report in the court today has made the king feel wary of the Wang and Zhao families. In this way, these two families are completely standing on the opposite side of Fusu."

"Next."

"As long as Master Hu Hai does not offend the two families, let the two families fight against Fusu and his men."

"We can reap the benefits."

The moment Zhao Gao saw Wang Jian's expression, he was naturally ecstatic.

In his opinion.

Wang Jian must have been suppressed by the king's words in Zhangtai Palace because the king was wary of Wang Wan's words.

otherwise.

Why does he have such a dull expression?

This has never happened to Wang Jian before.

But at the moment.

Nobody knows.

Wang Jian was still immersed in what Ying Zheng said.

"Zhao Feng is actually a young master, and the eldest young master at that."

"My son-in-law is actually the king's son, and I am actually the son's father-in-law."

"And judging from what the king said, it seems that he intends to make Zhao Feng the crown prince."

"Doesn't that mean that I, Wang Jian, will be the future father-in-law of the emperor?"

"This is really... At the beginning, I wanted to avoid being involved in the royal family's fight for the throne and to avoid my royal family being involved in the turmoil."

“But now I’m still involved.”

"Moreover... the king is very interested in making Zhao Feng the crown prince."

Wang Jian felt extremely complicated and surprised at this moment.

Inside Zhangtai Palace!

"I'm afraid Wang Jian won't be able to sleep when he goes back this time." Ying Zheng looked at Xia Wuqie and smiled.

"Always."

"Wang Jian is good at keeping himself safe and is well versed in the ways of a minister."

"When Wang Jian was encouraged by the court to marry his daughter to Fusu, he could not avoid it."

"But now I can't avoid it. I have to marry the real eldest son." Xia Wuqie stroked his beard and smiled, feeling quite emotional.

"Wang Jian."

“This is the first step.”

"Today I saw his affection for Feng'er."

"If there are still some in the court in the future, I will truly accept them as my own."

"If there is really a crown prince in the future, Feng'er will naturally have his own team."

"After the world is unified."

"Once Feng'er's identity is announced, it will definitely cause a shock to the entire Qin Dynasty." Ying Zheng raised his head and said while looking outside the hall.

"kindness."

Xia Wuqi nodded heavily.

"father in law."

"You must be careful when you go to Wei this time."

"In my heart, the people in Daliang City are not as important as you."

"If you really can't suppress it, you don't have to take the risk yourself."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
