Chapter 614: Chapter 251: Attending Court! Zhao Feng: I Impeach Someone!

”The Great King couldn’t possibly disregard the Wang Family and the Zhao Family.”

”Originally, there was intent to support the Eldest Imperial Son, but now it seems unwise.”

”Better to continue observing...”

Watching Zhao Feng return and confront Fusu, many ministers felt a sense of unease. Especially those who supported Fusu, and those who were still uncertain, they now hesitated and even began to contemplate withdrawing their support.

It’s undeniable.

The pressure brought by Zhao Feng and Wang Jian was immense.

They had no choice but to pay attention.

Military authority!

The threat was overwhelming.

”Prince.”

”What did you say to Zhao Feng just now, for him to leave in such a manner?”

Wang Wan quickly approached, his old face full of coldness.

”I reproved Zhao Feng for being too ruthless in dealing with civilians in foreign lands, suggesting he show restraint in the future.”

”Ultimately, our Confucianism differs from Military strategies.” Fusu sighed helplessly.

In just a moment.

Fusu came to a realization.

The two schools of thought are inherently different, Confucianism and Military strategies are distinct.

Just like Zhao Feng couldn’t convince him with his reasoning.

”Zhao Feng truly is audacious.”

”Perhaps your words were harsh, but you are still the prince, and Zhao Feng is a minister. How dare he be so discourteous?”

”He’s gotten arrogant with his military power and his achievements.” Wang Wan remarked coldly.

”Prince, see for yourself.”

”This is the trouble with military authority.”

”If he dares to act this way towards the Eldest Imperial Son now, what if someday he becomes Grand Commandant and controls the entire military? Perhaps he won’t even care about the Great King.” Huai Zhuang interjected, his tone filled with apprehension.

With the duo echoing each other’s sentiments, Fusu’s expression also showed a hint of concern.

”Excessive military authority is indeed trouble.” Fusu slowly said.

”Rest assured, Prince.”

”We will do everything in our power to suppress Zhao Feng and Wang Jian, preventing them from going too far.”

”Once the world is unified, the need for these military commanders will end.”

”At that time, we will assist the Eldest Imperial Son in stripping Zhao Feng and others of their military authority. Without it, they are nothing.” Wang Wan softly assured.

Fusu nodded.

Listening to the two beside him.

Regarding Zhao Feng and all the Senior Generals who held military power, Fusu’s heart was filled with worry.

Meanwhile.

A dozen meters away.

Zhao Feng’s face showed a cold smile: ”Unification of the world, stripping my military authority.”

”Wang Wan, Wang Wan, you truly underestimate me.”

”And Fusu.”

”Just as history records, an indecisive prince lacking resolution.”

”He gets led around by the nose by these civil officials without realizing.”

”If King of Qin can place any faith in you like this, it truly would be strange.”

”However.”

”Whether you are the Eldest Imperial Son or anyone else, should you wish to oppose me, I won’t spare you.”

They assumed speaking softly meant no one else could hear, but Zhao Feng’s keen sense of hearing was unparalleled.

The wind and grass around could not escape his ears.

If his Divine Sense expanded, nothing in the vicinity would elude his control.

At this moment!

The doors to the Morning Discussion Hall opened.

Zhao Gao’s shouting voice followed: ”The Great King is holding court, all officials in attendance!”

With Zhao Gao’s voice falling.

The civil and military officials quickly divided into two lines, adjusting their attire.

Then orderly proceeded towards the inner hall.

As the foremost military official, Zhao Feng naturally stood in the primary position for military officials, with his father-in-law Wang Jian in second place, Meng Wu third, and Huan Yi fourth.

Arriving at the hall entrance.

Ren Xiao, as the Imperial Guard Commander, personally inspected the weapons.

Since the assassination attempt by the Yan Envoy, the inspection of arms had become exceedingly stringent.

Due to the attempted assassination, the batch of Imperial Guards responsible for checking weapons was entirely dealt with, nearly causing harm to the King of Qin, a crime deserving endless punishment.

So now, even ministers entering court faced exceptionally thorough inspections.

But when Zhao Feng approached.

”Senior General, please.”

Ren Xiao immediately stepped aside.

Zhao Feng had received an imperial edict allowing him to wear the sword at court, exempt from inspection, making him the sole honor-holder in the entire court.

”Thank you.”

Zhao Feng chuckled as he strode into the hall.

Becoming the first to enter, he stood at his designated position.

Even princes like Fusu and Hu Hai had to undergo inspection.

Shortly after.

One by one, the ministers entered the hall.

A moment later.

When all the ministers had entered.

”The Great King is holding court.”

”All officials welcome.”

”Hail.”

Zhao Gao shouted fervently.

”We greet the Great King.”

”Wishing the Great King ten thousand years, Qin ten thousand years.”

The civil and military officials all raised their court tablets, bowed, and paid tribute.

Under the echoing voices encompassing the hall.

Ying Zheng, adorned in his ceremonial robe, royal crown atop, approached from a side hall, standing next to his throne.

With his gaze sweeping below.

He waved his hand: ”Rise.”

”We thank the Great King for his grace.” The civil and military officials collectively declared.

Then returned to their positions.

”Any petitions, otherwise court is dismissed.”

Zhao Gao proclaimed loudly.

”Greetings Great King.”

”I have a petition.” Zhao Feng stepped into the center of the hall and declared loudly.

Seeing it was Zhao Feng.

Ying Zheng showed some surprise, and then smiled, asking: ”Minister Zhao, having just returned, do you have something to present?”

”I wish to impeach a high-ranking minister here within the court.” Zhao Gao raised his head, face serious.

As his words fell.

The court erupted.

Even Ying Zheng glanced in astonishment.

”It has begun?”

”Could this boy really have caught Wang Wan’s weakness?” Wang Jian pondered internally.

But he remained silent, looking as though he was watching a play.

”Who to impeach?” Ying Zheng asked.

Zhao Feng turned around, looking towards Wang Wan, the leading civil official.
