Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 459: Chapter 198: Ying Zheng: Minister Wang, Zhao Feng Is My Son!

At Fusu’s Residence!

Wang Wan, Huai Zhuang, and some ministers supporting Fusu gathered in the residence.

"Today’s matter."

"May be somewhat abrupt."

Looking at the supporters before him, Fusu sighed.

"Prince."

"Today’s matter is not about whether it’s abrupt or not, but it must be done."

"If not done today, it must be done another day."

Wang Wan said in a deep voice, although offending Wang Jian in the court today, they had thoroughly offended Zhao Feng as well.

But in Wang Wan’s view, this matter was unavoidable.

"I naturally understand these words."

"But not only was it undone, but it also offended two families." Fusu sighed again.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Wang Wan’s words.

The two families control half of Qin’s military power, and this indeed is a concern; thinking of becoming Crown Prince, and one day King, he might have to worry about this.

"Ultimately underestimated Wang Jian and Zhao Feng’s status in the Great King’s heart."

"Did not anticipate."

"This pair of father-in-law and son-in-law hold the power of two major camps, and the Great King surprisingly has no apprehension about them."

"These two families, though unable to sway the court, in case of change, could sway the Qin world." Huai Zhuang said solemnly, his old face full of gravity.

"The Great King is certainly talented and strategic, naturally believing he can control it; now Qin is at the critical point of unifying the world, but Wang Family and Zhao Family’s issue is not in the present, but in the future."

"The future."

"Wang Jian and Zhao Feng will rely on military merit to achieve higher status, where the position of Grand Commandant, commander of Qin’s military might, will surely appear between the two."

"If it really comes to this, who in Qin will have power as great as these two families?" Wang Wan continued.

"The Great King is indeed talented and strategic, able to overpower the Hundred Officials, and naturally can suppress Wang Jian and Zhao Feng as well."

"But what about the future?"

"If the Eldest Imperial Son becomes Crown Prince, with the Prince’s benevolence, he might indeed struggle to suppress these two."

"When their influence fully forms in the future, perhaps it will truly be impossible to suppress, or even give rise to military insurrection."

"Old minister once heard, within the Lantian Camp, tens of thousands of soldiers only revere Wang Jian."

"In the Wu’an Military Camp, those Penal Battalion soldiers regard Zhao Feng as reborn parents, even surpassing the Great King’s authority within the military."

"Such a great threat, the Great King surprisingly does not pay heed."

"Alas." Chunyu Yue also sighed.

Fusu remained silent.

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

"Could this matter not have a compromise?"

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

"They will not betray Qin." Fusu slowly spoke.

"Indeed."

"For now, these two are truly loyal ministers of Qin and the reliance of the Imperial Court."

"But what about the future?"

"Their prestige in the military is too great."

"If one day they face opposition, if one day they face the suppression of royal power, Prince, can you ensure they will not betray the nation?"

"Wang Jian alone is not yet a concern."

"Zhao Feng alone is also not yet a concern."

"But the two together, that becomes a real concern."

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

"Regarding the day Prince becomes King." Wang Wan said with a serious expression.

"Prince."

"Since now we have torn faces with Wang Family and Zhao Family, they will surely target the Prince in the future."

"In the future, we must strengthen our guard against these two families."

"Also, secretly search for any legal missteps within these two families, for possible future use."

"Indeed."

"Although today in the court we did not have the Great King strip Wang Jian of military power, I believe the Great King will surely feel apprehension within, now the world is not yet unified, the Great King still needs to rely on these two’s strength, but in the future, after unification, military command will be useless, and then it will be our domain."

Wang Wan and others discussed among themselves.

At this moment.

They seemed to have all firmly set a goal: to guard against Wang Family and Zhao Family.

And Fusu, as the Eldest Imperial Son, although somewhat unwilling in heart at this moment, seemed to find himself on a tiger’s back.

Being at this point.

Even if he does not want to fight, his supporters will push him to fight.

Within Zhangtai Palace!

"Minister pays respect to the Great King."

Wang Jian and Xia Wuqie bowed to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng raised his head and smiled slightly: "Rise."

"Thank you, Great King." Wang Jian and Xia Wuqie responded simultaneously.

At this moment!

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao who was serving at the side, and the attendants serving around.

"Withdraw." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Zhao Gao bowed and immediately led the attendants to withdraw.

The palace door was closed.

As the palace door closed.

A squad of the Imperial Guard Army stood ten zhang outside Zhangtai Palace to protect, allowing no one to approach.

Eyes returning.

"Today’s act by Minister Wang in court."

"Indeed surprised me." Ying Zheng said with some amusement.

"Replying to the Great King."

"The authority of myself and Zhao Feng is indeed too large."

"The voice in court was not deliberately targeting."

"My words in court were not insincere but heartfelt." Wang Jian immediately replied.

Today’s matter in court.

As a matter of fact, Wang Jian had thought about this many times, knowing that such a day would come sooner or later.

If Zhao Feng remained as he was, merely a main general, perhaps it would not yet make Wang Jian feel a crisis, but Zhao Feng now is a commanding general overseeing thirty thousand troops.

The power combined poses a great threat to the King.

Wang Jian understood well.

No king can tolerate such a concentrated militaristic power.

No matter how talented and strategic the king may be, ultimately, it will still be taken back.
