Chapter 713 Chapter 292: The Ministers Are Shocked! Zhao Feng Returns to Court!
Hearing the matter of the Eldest Son from the common folk.
Yu Liao and Han Fei naturally immediately thought of this point.
An Eldest Son raised among the common people, even with the bloodline of the Royal Family.
Ultimately it’s impossible for him to assume the position of Crown Prince.
It’s like letting someone who knows nothing manage unknown matters, it would certainly cause great changes in the court and chaos across the realm.
Of course!
All along.
Regarding the news about Lady Efang.
The numerous ministers have also heard a bit about it, but none dared to say much or ask more.
After all, everyone knows this is a taboo for their Great King.
Hearing Han Fei and Yu Liao’s words.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and did not become angry.
“Though I am now in my prime, eventually there comes a time when life ends. If my Eldest Son cannot undertake the responsibility, who among you thinks can?” Ying Zheng asked, looking around.
“For this matter.”
“Only the Great King raising them personally can reveal which prince is suitable to be king.” Han Fei said.
“I second that.”
“The Great King is in his prime, the realm has been unified, and the Great King can carefully raise the heir. With the Great King’s personal teaching, the heir would surely become talented.” Yu Liao immediately echoed.
“The Eldest Son from the common folk might have status, and the Great King has personal ties.”
“But for Qin, the Great King must treat this cautiously.”
“We ask Great King to think thrice.”
Huan Yi, Feng Jie, Feng Quji, and other ministers also petitioned Ying Zheng.
Seeing this!
Ying Zheng remained unangered, but the smile on his face became even brighter.
Everyone looked puzzled at Ying Zheng, not understanding why he smiled while they opposed.
Only Wang Jian and Li Si showed smiles.
But they did not speak.
“If I were to tell you.”
“That Zhao Feng is my son, what would you do?” Ying Zheng smiled and continued.
As soon as these words fell.
Aside from Wang Jian and Li Si,
everyone else raised their heads in shock, looking at Ying Zheng.
Especially Han Fei.
“Great King, is this not a jest?”
“How could Zhao Feng be your son?”
“He was raised in Shaqiu from a young age, which is thousands of miles away from Qin.”
“Moreover… moreover…”
Han Fei was at a loss for words, his face filled with astonishment.
“Great King.”
“Could it be that Lord Wu’an’s mother was Lady Xia from back then?” Huan Yi also asked with a face full of surprise.
“Indeed.”
“Zhao Feng, Zhao Ying.”
“Efang bore my twins.”
“When Efang was forced to leave Xianyang, she was already carrying my bloodline.”
“Perhaps it’s heaven’s will, that they returned to me.” Ying Zheng said loudly with a smile.
By now.
The realm is unified.
Ying Zheng found it hard to suppress inner excitement.
Finally, he could tell them.
Looking at the ministers before him, after announcing Zhao Feng and his sibling’s identity, Ying Zheng seemed relieved.
The expressions of shock among them did not surprise Ying Zheng.
“General Wang Jian, did you know all along?”
Han Fei looked at Wang Jian, who was exceedingly calm, unable to hold back.
“Haha.”
“Thanks to the Great King’s trust, I’ve known for years.” Wang Jian said with a smile, looking rather proud.
Especially when he looked at Huan Yi, Wang Jian’s proud gaze was even more pronounced.
“No wonder this old man has been so smug all these years, claiming more surprising things would happen, turns out it was this.”
“Lord Wu’an being the Great King’s son, the Eldest Imperial Son of Qin.”
“This matter is truly extraordinary.”
Huan Yi was deeply shocked.
“Tingwei, could you also have known?”
Yu Liao’s gaze fell on Li Si.
“Not long ago, I took my son to Zhangtai Palace to consult Li You about proposing to Lord Wu’an’s sister, it needed the Great King’s approval.”
“On that day, the Great King told me.” Li Si said with a satisfied smile.
After all, knowing earlier felt like gaining the advantage.
After letting the ministers calm down for a moment.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and asked again: “Gentlemen, now that you know I want to establish the Eldest Son as Crown Prince, as the Heir of Qin, do you have any objections?”
By now.
Ying Zheng asked again.
But this time.
In contrast to the unanimous opposition before.
Now it was changed.
“Lord Wu’an is outstanding in capability, can stabilize the nation, embodying both civil and martial prowess, fit to be Crown Prince.” Han Fei immediately said.
“I second that.”
“Indeed, Lord Wu’an can undertake this great duty.”
“With Qin’s realm unified, the Great King has created a whole new era, but, the future needs a capable successor to ensure stability and maintain the realm.”
“Apart from Lord Wu’an, no one else can achieve this.”
“With Lord Wu’an, the National Fortune of Qin remains unbroken.” Yu Liao immediately chimed in.
“Lord Wu’an as Crown Prince.”
“I second that.”
Feng Quji, Feng Jie, Huan Yi immediately echoed.
As for Wang Jian and Li Si, there was no need to say more.
One being Zhao Feng’s father-in-law, the other the future father-in-law of Zhao Feng’s sister.
This was also a family alliance.
It could be said.
Zhao Feng becoming the Crown Prince of Great Qin in the future aligns with everyone’s interests here.
But for those in the court unaware of Zhao Feng’s identity, it doesn’t align with their interests.
When Zhao Feng’s identity is announced, it will certainly be earth-shattering.
“Earlier, weren’t you all opposed?”
“Why are you all supportive now?”
Ying Zheng asked with amusement, looking at everyone.
“Great King.”
“Had you said earlier that Lord Wu’an is your Eldest Son, we would have supported it long ago.”
“It’s the Great King who was being mysterious.” Han Fei replied somewhat helplessly.
