Chapter 729 Chapter 299: Imperial Decree—Crowning the Crown Prince
“This is truly a monumental grace.”
“Indeed.”
“This unquestionably informs everyone in Qin that Lord Feng is the future successor, and there will be no change in the heir.”
“The future emperor will be Lord Feng.”
…
Following Ying Zheng’s declaration.
Everyone on the summit of Mount Tai clearly understood the significance.
“Why don’t you pay respects to the Crown Prince?”
Looking at the astonished ministers around.
“We pay respects to the Crown Prince.”
On Mount Tai, everyone paid homage to Zhao Feng.
They hailed the Crown Prince.
Seeing the ministers bowing around.
Zhao Feng raised his hand: “No need for formalities.”
“Thank you, Crown Prince.”
Everyone shouted in unison.
At this moment.
Everyone understood.
A brand-new era for Qin had arrived.
Ying Zheng’s gaze shifted to Zhao Ying.
Under this call.
Zhao Ying walked up with a kind of uneasy feeling.
And Ying Zheng gently stroked Zhao Ying’s head.
“I’m sorry.”
“Father hasn’t taken good care of your mother, nor taken care of you siblings over the years.”
“Father is sorry to you all.”
Ying Zheng spoke with an unprecedented softness, in a gentle voice.
Upon hearing this.
Tears involuntarily welled in Zhao Ying’s eyes.
Compared to Zhao Feng.
She, being a woman, was more emotional.
“Why are you crying?”
“Rest assured.”
“Father will certainly make amends to you, your mother, and you siblings in the future.”
“No one will bully your mother, nor you anymore.”
Ying Zheng smiled warmly.
Zhao Ying wiped her tears and was at a loss for words.
Ying Zheng gently wiped her tears away.
“Old man, you knew this all along.” Meng Wu looked at Wang Jian, utterly surprised.
“If you hadn’t let your Meng Family participate, you would have known long ago.” Wang Jian glanced at Meng Wu and smiled lightly.
Upon hearing this.
A sense of dread surged within Meng Wu.
“Did you know as well?”
Meng Wu looked at Huan Yi beside him.
“Before the Crown Prince set out for Qi, the Great King summoned those of us not involved in factional struggles and revealed the Crown Prince’s identity.”
“To the entire court, everyone wondered who the Eldest Imperial Son was; to us, it was already known.”
“Furthermore, the First Emperor said it would be revealed after unifying the world and the ceremony at Mount Tai.” Huan Yi said.
At this moment, Meng Wu’s heart sank to the bottom.
He naturally understood.
His Meng Family might have lost favor with the First Emperor.
“Although you did side with someone before, you later broke off.”
“If you sincerely repent to both the First Emperor and the Crown Prince, there should be no problem.”
Wang Jian said to Meng Wu.
“Let’s hope so.” Meng Wu smiled bitterly.
On the other side.
“My goodness.”
“The Lord is the Eldest Son of the First Emperor, Qin’s Crown Prince.”
“This is truly astonishing.” Zhang Han said in surprise to Tu Sui.
“This is truly unexpected.”
“The Lord’s ambition, future is the world.”
“For this, the Lord has planned extensively.”
“But now, it seems there’s no need for the Lord to plan; the world is already his.” Tu Sui said in a low voice, his excitement indescribable.
“We’ve truly hit the jackpot, being able to follow the Lord early on.” Zhang Han felt the same.
After comforting Zhao Ying.
Ying Zheng looked at his two eldest grandchildren.
“Qi’er, Ling’er.”
“I am your real Grandpa, not a fake.”
Ying Zheng squatted down, smiling as he spoke.
Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling were almost eleven years old.
“Grandpa.”
Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling called out sweetly.
They had been calling this way since young.
There was naturally no gap.
“Hahaha.”
“Good.”
Ying Zheng said with a face full of excitement.
Today.
Their family could be together openly and proudly.
“Feng’er.”
“Ying’er.”
“He is truly your father.”
“Once, I was forced to leave Xianyang by chance and went to Sha Village.”
Xia Dong’er approached softly, explaining gently.
“Mother.”
“Give me some time; today’s revelation is overwhelming.”
Zhao Feng said bitterly with a smile.
“Hm.”
Xia Dong’er nodded.
She naturally understood her son’s character.
He’s already twenty-eight. All along, from childhood till now, Xia Dong’er told them their father had died on the battlefield.
Zhao Feng and his siblings got used to days without a father.
From childhood till now, never once uttered the word ‘Father.’
Suddenly.
How could they quickly accept this?
Even though their father is the mighty Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who holds the power of the world!
“Feng’er, Ying’er.”
“Father will treat you well from now on.”
Ying Zheng spoke tenderly, his eyes full of paternal warmth.
For him.
Xia Dong’er, Zhao Feng and his siblings, and the few legitimate children from Wang Yan were truly his family in his heart.
The real family.
The ceremony at Mount Tai concluded!
For those fortunate enough to reach the summit of Mount Tai, the impact is undoubtedly immense.
An era of kings, an era of ministers.
In the days to come.
Qin will usher in a transformative change.
Those who are friendly with Zhao Feng, like Han Fei.
Will surely receive greater favor in the future.
As for Huai Zhuang and others, and those from the clan, their lives will fall into a state of unsettling fear.
For them.
They must either resolutely resign or fight to the death; let’s see what they choose.
Of course.
And those who once supported Fusu and Hu Hai.
They will naturally also fall into a state of unsettling fear.
“How could it be him?”
“How could it be him?”
“That position should have been mine.”
Hu Hai stared at Zhao Feng’s figure, filled with reluctance.
Now.
He also understood why Zhao Gao suddenly chose not to support him anymore; it was all because of Zhao Feng.
Looking at the easy-to-reach Crown Prince position, now entirely replaced, Hu Hai once naïvely thought he was close.
Now.
Everything has vanished.
Under Mount Tai.
Inside the six-horse carriage belonging to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng sat with Wang Yan.
Zhao Qi, Zhao Ling, and Zhao Wu rode in their grandpa’s carriage.
“Husband.”
“Are you unable to accept it?”
Wang Yan asked, worried, seeing her husband’s tense expression.
“It’s not about being unable to accept; it’s about confirming.” Zhao Feng slowly replied.
Then.
He opened his hand.
A drop of Ying Zheng’s blood floated in the palm under the power of Divine Sense.
Next.
Zhao Feng directly bit into his finger.
A drop of fresh blood appeared.
“Way of the Martial Dao, bloodline source tracing.” Zhao Feng murmured softly.
A surge of True Yuan emerged, casting an invisible Hand Seal.
Above the void.
The two drops of blood trembled in the void, then, Zhao Feng’s drop of blood directly merged with Ying Zheng’s blood.
Seeing this scene.
Zhao Feng smiled bitterly: “It truly is Qin Shi Huang, really my father.”
“Oh heavens.”
“You have played such a grand joke on me.”
“With this development, won’t I become Emperor Qin Ershi in the future?”
“That title truly isn’t ideal.”
“But.”
“For me, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
“For Mother, it is even less of a bad thing.”
“She raised us siblings alone, bearing the hardships of solitude.”
“Now she finally returned to her husband’s side, perhaps this is what she truly longed for.”
“Zhao Feng, originally not of Zhao surname, but of Zhao Clan.”
“Originally.”
“Mother used Zhao Clan when naming us, not Zhao surname.”
“We are Zhao’s Ying surname.”
“I am Zhao’s Ying Feng, Ying’er is Zhao’s Ying Ying.”
“Sigh.”
“Emperor Qin Shi Huang is my father.”
“Facing him in the future feels truly strange.”
“No wonder he has always tolerated me to such a high degree, no wonder he would issue a Royal Edict to boost my reputation, and trust me unconditionally.”
“Turns out this is the true root of it all.”
“Plotting the world.”
“Plotting back and forth, the future world is actually mine.”
