Chapter 196 Ying Zheng: Wang Qing, Zhao Feng Is My Son!

Fusu's Mansion!

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

"Today's matter."

"Maybe it was abrupt."

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

"My lord."

"Today's matter is not abrupt, but it has to be done."

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

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

But in Wang Wan's view, this matter had to be done.

"I understand this."

"But now not only has it not been done, but it has offended the 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 worthy of fear. Thinking that if he was named the prince in the future, he would become the king in the future, this might be something to worry about.

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

"I never thought."

"This father-in-law and son-in-law hold the military power of the two camps, but the king has no fear of them at all."

"These two families are even more of a union of father-in-law and son-in-law. Although they cannot influence the court, once there is a change, they can influence the world of our Great Qin." Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice, with a solemn face.

"The king is a man of great talent and strategy, so he naturally thinks he can calm down. Now our Great Qin is the key to unifying the world, but the difference between the Wang family and the Zhao family is not in the present, but in the future."

"The future."

"Wang Jian and Zhao Feng will rely on their military exploits to gain a higher status. The honor of the national captain and the commander of the Great Qin military power will inevitably appear among the two."

"If this is true, then who in our Great Qin will have the power of these two families?" Wang Wan said immediately.

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

"But what about the future?"

"If the eldest son is the crown prince, with your benevolence, it may be difficult to suppress the two."

"In the future, they will have a great momentum, and it may be impossible to suppress them, or there may be a mutiny."

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

"In the Wu'an camp, those prisoners regard Zhao Feng as their reborn parents, and their authority in the army is higher than that of the king."

"Such a big problem, the king does not take it seriously."

"Alas." Chunyu Yue also sighed.

Fusu was silent.

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

"Is it impossible to have both?"

"Wang Jian and Zhao Feng are 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 are also the reliance of the court."

"But what about the future?"

"Their reputation in the army 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 betray the country?"

"Wang Jian alone is not a concern."

"Zhao Feng alone is not a concern."

"But the two of them together will be a real concern."

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

"It will be when you become king one day." Wang Wan said with a serious face.

"Young Master."

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

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

"Also, we should secretly search for any violations of the law in these two families, which may be useful in the future."

"That's right."

"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 power of the two. But after the world is unified in the future, commanding troops will be useless, and it will be our home court."

Wang Wan and others began to discuss.

At this moment.

They all seemed to have a firm goal, to guard against the Wang and Zhao families.

As the eldest son, Fusu seemed to be a little reluctant at this moment, but he seemed to be in a difficult situation.

At his point.

Even if he didn't want to fight, his supporters would push him to fight.

——

Inside Zhangtai Palace!

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Wang Jian and Xia Wuqi bowed to Ying Zheng.

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

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

At this time!

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

"Go away." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Zhao Gao bowed and immediately withdrew with a group of servants.

Closed the palace door.

As the palace door closed.

A group of imperial guards stood ten feet away from Zhangtai Palace to protect it, and no one was allowed to approach.

Looking back.

"What the king did in the court today."

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

"Reply to the king."

"The power of the minister and Zhao Feng is actually too great."

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

"My words in the court are not false, but from the heart." Wang Jian replied immediately.

What happened in the court today.

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

If Zhao Feng was still just a commander as before, Wang Jian might not feel the crisis, but now Zhao Feng is already a general who commands one side, holding 300,000 troops.

The combination of the two is too threatening to the king.

Wang Jian knows very well.

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

No matter how talented and strategic this king is, he will eventually take it back.

In this case.

Wang Jian might as well hand it over in advance, so that he can also exchange a better future for his Wang family, at least he will not be liquidated in the future. Of course, the more important thing is to preserve Zhao Feng's future.

"I understand what Wang Qing means."

"Indeed."

"The marriage between two families holding military power is indeed not conducive to my authority."

"But you are different."

"Zhao Feng is even more different." Ying Zheng smiled slightly, looking at Wang Jian with a particularly gentle look.

And Xia Wuqi on the side also smiled without saying a word.

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

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

So Xia Wuqie also completely recognized Wang Jian as a relative.

And heard what Ying Zheng said.

Wang Jian was puzzled, obviously not understanding what he meant.

"What's the difference between me and Zhao Feng?" Wang Jian asked puzzledly.

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian deeply, and then, with a solemn voice: "Because, Zhao Feng is my son."

As soon as the voice fell.

Boom!

For Wang Jian, it was like thunder and lightning in his mind at this moment.

His whole expression changed drastically.

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

Or.

He had never thought of this link at all.

"What did the king say?"

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

Ying Zheng walked slowly to Wang Jian with a serious face, only one meter away.

"I said."

"Zhao Feng is my son."

Ying Zheng said almost word by word.

Wang Jian's eyes widened, disbelief appeared in his eyes, and his heart was even more turbulent.

"This... this..."

"How could it be?"

Wang Jian, who was always calm, trembled when he spoke.

"Do you remember the killing that swept the palace when I first succeeded to the throne?"

"Do you remember the woman who followed me when I first returned to Daqin?" Ying Zheng laughed, with a bit of melancholy in his eyes.

"Could it be... Could it be that Zhao Feng was born to that girl Dong'er and the king?"

"That girl Dong'er is still alive?"

Wang Jian trembled, and a kind of shock appeared on his face at this moment.

This expression also looked extremely scary.

Wang Jian had never looked like this before.

"Alive, alive and well."

"Not only that."

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

"How is this possible?"

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

"Your Majesty, this can't be a mistake, can it?"

"This is about the royal family, this can't be a mistake."

Wang Jian's voice was trembling and frightened.

He was even more afraid of making a mistake.

If this was a mistake, it would be a real disaster.

And now he heard it.

Not only Zhao Feng would be implicated.

His entire Wang family would also be in trouble.

"My woman."

"My children."

"Do you think I would make a mistake?"

"Don't you think Zhao Feng looks a bit like me?" Ying Zheng smiled faintly.

Hearing this.

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

The two people's appearances completed a kind of overlap in his mind.

"It seems that they are really alike." Wang Jian was secretly shocked.

And at this moment.

Wang Jian thought of something in his heart.

When he was in Handan, Zhao in the past.

Daqin had just conquered Handan City not long ago.

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

At that time.

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

At that time, Wang Jian also reprimanded Wang Ben.

And now it seems.

Wang Ben may really see it at a glance.

"King, is it... is it true?"

Wang Jian couldn't help asking again.

In fact, he couldn't help asking.

This matter is too important.

If Zhao Feng is really the king's son?

Judging from the age, isn't he the eldest son?

And.

The girl Dong'er who gave birth to Zhao Feng was the queen's person at the time.

If this is counted.

Zhao Feng!

Isn't his son-in-law eligible to inherit the throne of Daqin?

And.

Zhao Feng's performance is definitely the best among the princes.

Judging from the king's meaning, it seems that he really has ideas.

Isn't that right?

Thinking of this.

Wang Jian was in a state of panic, and 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.

"In-laws."

"All this is true."

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

Xia Wuqie stroked his beard and smiled.

"Are the rumors true?"

"Is Dr. Xia really the father of that girl Dong'er?"

Wang Jian suddenly thought of it 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 of 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 Wuji, the king treated them with kindness.

There are also various rumors in the government and the opposition.

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

"yes."

"If that incident hadn't happened, maybe I would have become the king's father-in-law." Xia Wuji replied with emotion.

"father in law."

"In my lonely heart, you will always be."

"Never changed."

Ying Zheng turned his head and said to Xia Wuji.

"Haha." Xia Wuji laughed and was very moved.

Ying Zheng's filial piety towards him has never changed over the years, so how could Xia Wuqie not feel it.

But now I have more expectations and expectations.

"Why would your Majesty tell this secret to me?"

"This thing is too big."

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

Wang Jian's expression changed and he suddenly spoke.

What kind of person he was, 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 let Gu see your friendship with Feng'er."

"To be willing to give up the position of general for Feng'er, this is not something ordinary father-in-law can do."

"Based on this alone, I can trust the general." Ying Zheng said with a smile, trusting Wang Jian in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

"There is no edict from the king."

"I will never leak anything about this matter."

Wang Jian immediately bowed.

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

"Speak of it."

"Now you and Gu are not only a monarch and minister, but also an in-law."

"You gave birth to a good daughter and a pair of good grandchildren."

Hear the words.

Wang Jian immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are exaggerating. It was your Majesty who gave birth to a good son."

"Zhao Feng rose from a young age and came out from the battlefield to kill."

"This is not something that a mortal can do, but he suddenly rose from a soldier to where he is today. This must be because he is the son of the king and is born extraordinary." Wang Jian said with a somewhat flattering tone. .

Listen to this.

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face, but he said with emotion: "The general always shows his seriousness, but I didn't expect that he would say such kind words."

"But the general is wrong."

"Zhao Feng Bufan has nothing to do with him being an orphan's son."

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

"And they were all taught by famous palace teachers, but none of them live up to their expectations."

"And Feng'er has been taught by his mother since he was a child, but he is much better than these so-called famous teachers." Ying Zheng said with a helpless tone.

"Your Majesty."

"A dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of whom are different."

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

"I called the general here today. One of the reasons is to tell the general that Zhao Feng is Gu's son."

"Secondly, it also makes the general feel relieved."

"I will doubt anyone, but I won't doubt you."

"Don't mention the so-called resigning from old age and returning to your hometown again."

"In the future, the honor of the country's captain."

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

Hear this.

Wang Jian bowed excitedly: "I swear to be loyal to your Majesty to the death."

"alright."

"General, go back and rest."

"The general is dead in his heart about what happened today, so he pretends he has never heard of it."

Ying Zheng stopped talking and waved his hand to Wang Jian.

"I accept the edict."

Wang Jian bowed and retreated out of the hall with an uneasy and complicated mood.

Open the palace door.

After Wang Jian walked out, his face was still dull.

Obviously, even though the whole story was clear at this moment, Wang Jian still couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

"Congratulations, General."

All the imperial guards on duty outside bowed to Wang Jian.

Zhao Gao secretly raised his head and saw Wang Jian, who looked dull and seemed to have lost his mind, but he was happy in his heart: "It seems that Wang Wan and the others' performance in the court today still made the king fearful of the Wang family and the Zhao family. , in this case, these two families are completely opposite to Fusu. "

"Next."

"As long as Mr. Hu Hai doesn't offend the two families, let them fight with Fusu and the others."

"We can reap the benefits."

Zhao Gao was naturally ecstatic when he saw Wang Jian's expression.

In his opinion.

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

otherwise.

How could he have such a dull expression?

This has never happened to Wang Jian.

But at this moment.

No one knows.

Wang Jian was still immersed in what Ying Zheng said.

"Zhao Feng is actually a young master, or the eldest son."

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

"And judging from the king's intention, it seems that he intends to make Zhao Feng the heir."

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

"This is really... At the beginning, I wanted to avoid being involved in the royal family's struggle for the heir, and to avoid my Wang family being involved in the storm."

"But now I am still involved."

"And... The king has a strong intention to make Zhao Feng the heir."

Wang Jian's heart was extremely complicated and pleasantly surprised at this moment.

Inside Zhangtai Palace!

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

"Always."

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

"At the beginning, he was encouraged by the court to marry his daughter to Fusu, and Wang Jian avoided it."

"But now he can't avoid it, and married 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 people in the court in the future, I will truly accept them as Feng'er's people."

"In the future, if the crown prince is really appointed, Feng'er will naturally have his own team."

"After the world is unified."

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

"Yes."

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 need to take risks yourself."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

...
