Chapter 281 Brothers and Brothers Respect
It turned out that as soon as the King of Qin returned to the palace, he reported his love for Princess Nanzhi to Emperor Wen without hesitation, and asked Emperor Wen to grant him the marriage so that he could marry Princess Nanzhi as the King of Qin's consort.
Emperor Wen readily agreed, which made Princess Nanzhi the object of envy of the noble ladies from the capital.
King Qin turned around, looked at Princess Nanzhi tenderly, and said softly: "Nanzhi, thank you for your company and support all the time. You deserve half the credit for today's victory."
Princess Nanzhi raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, and replied softly: "Your Highness, Prince Qin, I feel extremely honored to witness the moment of victory with you. I hope that in the days to come, we can face more challenges together and overcome every difficulty hand in hand."
King Qin nodded, looked at Princess Nanzhi affectionately, and promised: "Don't worry, Nanzhi, I will protect you with my life and never leave you." The two stared at each other, as if they were the only two people left in the world.
The atmosphere at the celebration banquet became more and more lively, with people laughing and celebrating the victory of the King of Qin and his upcoming wedding. The King of Qin and Princess Nanzhi were immersed in each other's sweetness, looking forward to a bright future.
The prince's face was as calm as a lake, but his heart was already in turmoil. At this moment, he was like being in a turbulent sea, drowned by endless pressure and challenges.
Looking around, there were powerful enemies everywhere. The third and fourth brothers were secretly waiting for opportunities and constantly setting traps for him; and the King of Qin was deeply favored by Emperor Wen and his position was becoming increasingly stable. All this made the prince feel deeply uneasy.
What's worse is that the King of Qin has the support of the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion. They hold heavy troops and have great power. In comparison, the civil servants in the hands of the prince seem so weak. How can they compete with the powerful military generals?
In this world full of power struggles, the prince knows that he is facing an unprecedented predicament. But he cannot retreat, he must go on firmly and find a way out. Because only in this way can he protect his glory and dignity and survive in this world!
The prince sat there with a cold look in his eyes, as if he could penetrate one's soul. His black eyes were deep and dark, like a bottomless abyss, which made people shudder. Those eyes were full of calculations and conspiracies, and every subtle expression revealed his deep thoughts.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold smile, as if he had seen the scene after his plan succeeded. He secretly thought: If Princess Nanzhi gets into trouble in the Qin Palace, Xiao Jinghan will definitely fall out with Luo Lingyue.
This thought circled in his mind, making him secretly happy. Because he knew very well that as long as there was a conflict between Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue, their alliance would be broken, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity for him.
Then, he thought again, if he could take this opportunity to defeat the Luo family, then it would be much easier to deal with the An family! This thought shocked him, and a strong desire surged in his heart.
He knew that the Luo family and the An family were both important supporters of the King of Qin. If he could catch them all in one fell swoop, the King of Qin would be isolated and helpless.
Finally, he looked into the distance with a firm gaze, and swore secretly in his heart: King Qin must lose the support of these two families. In this way, King Qin will no longer be a threat to him!
After the Qin King's celebration banquet ended, during the morning court the next day, Emperor Wen sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes sweeping over the civil and military officials below.
"I have something to announce!" Emperor Wen said in a loud voice, "From today on, the Imperial Palace's Imperial Guards, the Capital's Shenji Camp, and the Capital's Ji Camp will all be handed over to the Qin King!"
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar. This meant that the King of Qin would control the most elite military force in the capital, and his power would be greater than before.
The faces of the prime ministers and their factions showed worry, and they were secretly worried: How could Emperor Wen do this? The power given to the King of Qin is getting bigger and bigger!
Now, the King of Qin has become like a god of war in the hearts of the people of Dazhao, and is highly respected and worshipped. They can't help but worry whether the position of the crown prince can be maintained.
Of course, there were also neutral officials who held different views, believing that this was a recognition and trust of the King of Qin's outstanding military achievements. After all, the King of Qin performed well on the battlefield and made many outstanding achievements, which were facts that could not be ignored.
Facing the public's discussion, the King of Qin himself seemed extremely calm. He knelt down respectfully to express his gratitude and sincerely expressed his willingness to do his utmost to protect the safety of the entire city and the royal family.
Emperor Wen nodded with satisfaction. He knew that the King of Qin had extraordinary military talent and loyalty. He firmly believed that the King of Qin was capable enough to handle this important task and protect the royal family from any threats.
At the same time, Emperor Wen also hoped that through this appointment, the King of Qin could compete with the Crown Prince, further consolidate his ruling position, and show the outside world the great strength of the court. He expected the King of Qin to live up to expectations and become a solid backing for the royal family.
After the court was adjourned, the ministers left one after another, but the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince did not leave. They surrounded the King of Qin with smiles on their faces and compliments.
"Second brother! From now on, I will rely on you!" The prince smiled as if in the spring breeze and said in a kind tone.
The King of Qin smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, you are joking! I am only doing my duty to protect the safety of the capital. If I find any shortcomings in the future, please feel free to give me advice, Your Highness!" His attitude was humble and respectful.
The prince smiled like a modest gentleman: "Second brother, you are too modest! Now you are a treasure in the eyes of our father!" There was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
The third prince also echoed, "Yes, second brother! You have made great contributions this time, I'm afraid you will get more military power!"
The fourth prince smiled and said, "Second brother is really amazing! I have to learn from you!"
The King of Qin smiled and replied, "Third and Fourth Brothers, thank you for your praise! This is the result of our joint efforts."
The third prince smiled: "Second brother! You must speak well of me in front of our father in the future!"
King Qin looked at the Third Prince with a teasing smile on his face: "Third brother, you have always been by Father's side and are highly valued by him! Look, every time Da Zhao encounters something, Father always trusts you the most! He lets you solve the problem!"
Hearing the words of the King of Qin, the Third Prince's face suddenly turned ugly, and he secretly cursed the King of Qin in his heart. Everyone knew that Emperor Wen had been fed up with him because of the Queen Mother's matter before, and the King of Qin deliberately brought up this matter. Wasn't it obvious that he was embarrassed?
Seeing this, the Fourth Prince raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a gloating tone: "Oh! My two brothers are so lucky to have a good mother and a good uncle. How enviable! Poor me, I don't have a mother who can help me, nor a strong uncle to rely on. It's really depressing!"
The Third Prince was even more furious when he heard this. Everyone knew that his uncle had died tragically! And all this was caused by the Crown Prince. Thinking of this, his hatred for the Crown Prince became even stronger.
