Chapter 613: Chapter 251: Attending Court! Zhao Feng: I Accuse Someone! (Part 2)
But ever since Zhao Feng was promoted to Shangjiangjun, everything has changed.
Those who are older than him must also learn from Zhao Feng.
Even if they are older, they all feel ashamed in comparison.
“The two Shangjiangjun are flattering me,” Zhao Feng humbly replied.
“What’s going on?”
“Has my son-in-law’s military achievement sparked something in you two?”
Wang Jian’s hearty voice came over.
Both Meng Wu and Huan Yi immediately looked towards Wang Jian.
Wang Jian walked over with a face full of pride.
“You old rascal just got a bit lucky,”
Meng Wu retorted with annoyance.
“Indeed.”
“Aside from having better luck than us, there’s not much else to it,” Huan Yi remarked dissatisfiedly.
“Hahaha.”
“That’s heaven smiling upon me.”
“You’ll only grow more envious in the future,” Wang Jian laughed heartily, clearly pleased with himself.
For him,
to be able to suppress peers like Meng Wu and Huan Yi, having Zhao Feng completely overshadow them, naturally filled him with pride.
Moreover,
Wang Jian could already imagine the astonishment in the court when his son-in-law’s status is restored, and how Meng Wu and the others would be shocked and envious.
“This old rascal is completely over the moon,” Huan Yi replied with annoyance.
“Fine, fine.”
“Can’t be bothered with this old rascal,” Meng Wu also remarked in displeasure,
turning away in a huff.
Huan Yi also glared at Wang Jian and left disdainfully.
“Hahaha.”
Wang Jian still laughed triumphantly.
Seeing his father-in-law so delighted, Zhao Feng just smiled without saying a word.
“Old fellow, what are you looking at?”
At this moment,
Wang Jian seemed to sense a malicious gaze and glared in the direction of Wang Wan, muttering under his breath.
But only Zhao Feng, standing beside him, could hear.
“Father-in-law.”
“Today’s court will surely open your eyes,” Zhao Feng whispered.
“Are you serious?”
Wang Jian was taken aback and asked in surprise.
Yesterday at Zhao Feng’s mansion, Zhao Feng mentioned wanting to deal with Wang Wan. Initially, Wang Jian thought Zhao Feng was joking, but now it seemed Zhao Feng was serious.
“You’ll see soon, Father-in-law,” Zhao Feng smiled, saying no more.
“You’re just teasing me,” Wang Jian grumbled, feeling a bit irritated.
Zhao Feng had completely piqued his interest.
But this kid just wouldn’t spill.
After Wang Jian gave him a stare,
Wang Wan withdrew his gaze.
“Prime Minister Wang.”
“With Zhao Feng’s return, Wang Jian grows even more arrogant,” Huai Zhuang remarked coldly.
“Let him show off.”
“The world will soon be unified, and by then, these military commanders will have no place, and the future Great Qin Dynasty Court will still be under our watch,”
“Let them bask for now,” Wang Wan snorted coldly.
Huai Zhuang nodded, saying no more.
“The Crown Prince has arrived.”
A minister shouted.
Wang Wan and his peers immediately looked over.
They saw someone slowly walking from the square.
And upon seeing Zhao Feng, his eyes lit up.
He slowly approached Zhao Feng.
“Fusu is coming for you.”
“Even though you’ve fallen out, on the surface, you can’t be too harsh, since he’s the apparent Crown Prince,” Wang Jian quickly advised Zhao Feng upon seeing Fusu’s direction.
“Father-in-law, I’m not someone reckless,”
“Also, what do you mean by ’apparent Crown Prince’? That’s a strange way to put it,” Zhao Feng chuckled.
“Hahaha, I might’ve misspoken,” Wang Jian laughed it off and fell silent.
As Fusu approached, he immediately smiled at Zhao Feng: “Congratulations on your triumphant return, Shangjiangjun. Fusu is here to congratulate you.”
“Thank you, Crown Prince,” Zhao Feng replied with a faint smile.
“This time, Shangjiangjun single-handedly ventured into foreign lands, destroying the Barbarian Royal Court and beheading the Barbarian King,”
“A feat that shakes the world.”
“Fusu is filled with admiration.”
“However, regarding Shangjiangjun’s actions of slaughter against civilians, Fusu believes it’s excessive.”
“While the foreign tribesmen who harm our Shenzhou people deserve to be killed, among them are good and innocent civilians, yet you kill them so excessively.”
Initially, Fusu acknowledged Zhao Feng’s military achievements, but gradually shifted to critiquing Zhao Feng’s slaughter of innocent foreign civilians.
Next to him, Wang Jian’s expression changed subtly upon hearing this.
Yet, Zhao Feng’s previous smile had completely vanished.
Not waiting for Fusu to continue,
“If the Crown Prince has time…”
Zhao Feng interrupted Fusu’s incessant chatter, his expression turning cold: “You can go to the Northern Frontier and see those Shenzhou civilians slain by the foreign tribes, see those who have lost their parents or children.”
“Instead of engaging in armchair politics here.”
“I do not agree with your words.”
With that,
Zhao Feng turned his head and walked away.
Seeing Zhao Feng’s attitude,
even the typically mild-tempered Fusu showed a trace of anger on his face.
“Crown Prince.”
“Do you know why the Great King is disappointed in you?”
Wang Jian also said to Fusu before turning to leave.
And this scene naturally unfolded in the eyes of many courtiers.
“What did the Crown Prince just say to Shangjiangjun Zhao Feng that made the Shangjiangjun angry?”
“Not just the Shangjiangjun, even the Crown Prince seemed upset.”
“Something’s off, something must have happened.”
“Could it be that the Crown Prince was trying to win over Shangjiangjun Zhao Feng or perhaps pleading for Chunyu Yue and was ultimately rejected by the Shangjiangjun?”
“Highly possible.”
“The Wang Family and the Zhao Family are allied through marriage. Two Shangjiangjun control half of Qin’s military power, and now they’re at odds with the Crown Prince, which is not favorable for the Crown Prince. The future of the position of Crown Prince is now uncertain.”
