Chapter 522 - 220: Your Brother-in-Law Is the Eldest Imperial Son! Do Something for Your Brother-in-Law!

Looking at Wang Jian’s serious demeanor, how could Wang Ben not understand the situation?

He nodded immediately and said, "Father, I will keep my mouth shut."

"You and I are one, father and son."

"If it were an outsider, I really couldn’t speak about it."

"But seeing the situation in the court, for your brother-in-law, our Wang Family must do something for him." Wang Jian said with a serious face.

"Do something for brother-in-law?" Wang Ben looked confused and puzzled.

"Your brother-in-law is the son of the Great King." Wang Jian said in a serious tone.

Hearing this.

Wang Ben’s expression became very strange, and then he slowly stood up, looking at Wang Jian with a gaze reserved for looking at lunatics.

Then.

"Father."

"You haven’t been dreaming, nor are you sick, why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?"

"Coincidentally, Doctor Xia has returned, and brother-in-law has a good relationship with him. I will go find Doctor Xia to check on you." Wang Ben said with a face full of concern.

Upon hearing this.

Wang Jian glanced in speechless dismay and immediately scolded, "You brat, do you think your father has gone mad?"

"Father."

"You’re not crazy. What nonsense are you speaking?"

"Do you not know the origins of brother-in-law?"

"He was born in Shaqiu, not in Xianyang."

"Since returning from the Zhao state, the Great King has been residing in Xianyang and hasn’t left; how could he go to Shaqiu and have a concubine give birth to brother-in-law?" Wang Ben smiled, chalking it up to his father being muddled.

But Wang Jian said nothing, just quietly watched him.

Under Wang Jian’s gaze.

Wang Ben sensed something was amiss.

"Wait a minute."

"Father."

"Are you serious?"

Only then did Wang Ben turn serious.

"If I weren’t serious, do you think I would make up stories about the Royal Family and the Great King’s son to fool you?" Wang Jian scolded in annoyance.

"Isn’t it impossible?"

"How could brother-in-law be the Great King’s son?" Wang Ben still looked unconvinced.

"Have you forgotten the girl who came to Qin with the Great King from Zhao?" Wang Jian said.

"Hiss."

Wang Ben gasped.

"Didn’t she already die?"

"In that palace bloodbath back then." Wang Ben said solemnly.

"I can tell you for sure."

"That girl didn’t die, and she gave birth to Zhao Feng and his siblings, the Great King’s own flesh and blood," Wang Jian asserted.

"Father."

"It’s not that I don’t believe it."

"But isn’t this too monumental?"

"How did you know, Father?" Wang Ben asked, puzzled.

Wang Jian smiled and pointed towards the Royal Palace. "The Great King."

"Did the Great King himself say so?"

"Then it must be true?"

"Brother-in-law is the Eldest Imperial Son, of royal blood."

"Then doesn’t that mean brother-in-law has a chance to become the Crown Prince?"

Wang Ben, being straightforward, could not hide his excitement upon realizing Zhao Feng’s identity.

"It’s not merely a chance."

"From the Great King’s attitude towards your brother-in-law, the Great King fundamentally intends to make him the Crown Prince."

"When the Great King first told me about this, I was quite at a loss."

"It also took me quite some time to settle down."

Recalling how he looked leaving Zhangtai Palace back then, Wang Jian couldn’t help but sigh.

"I remember this incident."

"Back then, it was when brother-in-law was elevated in rank, Wang Wan submitted a memorial stating that our Wang Family’s military power with brother-in-law was too great, and then Father was summoned into Zhangtai Palace by the Great King."

"Then Father came out of Zhangtai Palace looking off."

"All of Xianyang was buzzing; it turns out it was because of this." Wang Ben said with a knowing look.

Wang Jian smiled, "If you had heard it with your own ears, you wouldn’t have been able to accept it immediately either."

"True enough."

Wang Ben agreed, nodding.

And at this moment, his expression gradually became strange: "Brother-in-law is the Great King’s son, this is simply unbelievable."

"No one would have thought of it."

"No wonder today you broke with Wang Wan so publicly, letting the entire court see."

"Turns out it was all for brother-in-law."

Wang Jian laughed, "Indeed!"

"Today’s public break with Wang Wan in the court was indeed because Wang Wan went too far, repeatedly, endlessly. If we continued to tolerate it, our Wang Family would really be considered easy to bully."

"Besides."

"Through today."

"Many ministers who hadn’t taken sides could see my stance."

"This will definitely affect Fusu."

"These days, I have come to understand."

"The reason the Great King told me about Zhao Feng’s identity is perhaps not just for reassurance but also as a way to let us assist Zhao Feng."

"Zhao Feng isn’t aware of his identity, so he can’t possibly imagine he’s a royal son."

"The Great King wants to pave a way for Zhao Feng but will not announce Zhao Feng’s identity before the unification of the world, for the stability of the Qin."

"After the announcement, there must be people from Zhao Feng’s side in the court, not just in the military but also the court."

"Through this endeavor."

"I want to select some supporters for Zhao Feng to use in the future."

"To claim that position, you need your own loyalists." Wang Jian said seriously.

"Father."

"You underestimate brother-in-law."

"Although brother-in-law doesn’t know his identity and has few friends in the court, his only friend, Han Fei, is one of the Nine Ministers, no small figure."

"And then there’s Li Si."

"He’s opposed to the Eldest Imperial Son, no, to Fusu, and also opposed to Wang Wan and his faction. His son, Li You, is currently a general under brother-in-law. If one day brother-in-law’s identity is revealed, Li Si will surely side with him."

"Among the Nine Ministers, there are already two who support brother-in-law."
