Wei Xingchao didn't want to say more about this. According to Emperor Ying's temperament, there was a high probability that King Zhou would be cool.
But looking back on the past, although the king of Zhou had no great military exploits, he was not as jumping as the king of Zhao.
The King of Zhou is a calm man. According to the current situation, if he succeeds to the throne, it may not be enough to expand, but being a conservative king is enough.
The most important thing is that among Emperor Ying's princes and grandsons, only King Zhou is currently qualified to become the crown prince.
In the process of conquering other countries, in the first 30,000 years, apart from the original old prince, only King Zhao was born. In the next 10,000 years, Emperor Ying continued to spend some energy and had several sons.
As for why he doesn’t have a daughter, it’s because Emperor Ying is so awesome that he can control the birth of children.
These sons did not consume much of Emperor Ying's energy at all, and were worse than King Zhao in all aspects. Some died in the last ten thousand years of the campaign, and some died nearly ten thousand years after the end of the campaign.
By now, all the sons and daughters are in decline.
And among the sons and daughters born from these sons, only the King of Zhou was ambitious enough to reach this stage, and the rest can be ignored.
Now, if the last prince who is qualified but has no major faults dies, Da Ying will really not be able to find a prince or grandson who can take the position of crown prince.
Of course, the most important reason why Wei Xingchao was willing to say more was that he knew how powerful the Mask of Illusion Heart was. It was enough to be able to forcibly maintain a trace of clarity amidst the distorted will under the forcible illusion of this precious treasure.
It shows that he is dedicated to winning.
If such a prince sat on the throne, the instability of the country's fortunes could be avoided.
Emperor Ying waved his hand and asked people to take King Zhou down.
The previous dynasty acted too frequently and seemed to be eager for quick success. Emperor Ying also knew in his heart that the previous dynasty would not give him time and the final push would be completed within ten years.
If a prince is not established before this, if there is any turmoil again, the fate of the country will definitely be unstable.
Now is no longer the time to waste important ministers and old ministers and stabilize the country's fortunes like drinking poison to quench thirst.
"check."
As soon as Emperor Ying said a word, Wei Xingchao immediately started to mobilize the foreign princes of Dingtian Division, like a mad dog out of the cage, to follow the existing clues to trace the root cause.
The news quickly leaked out, and the matter about the Huanxin Mask was also leaked out.
At this time, no one cared who leaked the news, because King Zhou suddenly fell ill during the court meeting, and many courtiers saw it with their own eyes.
…
Qin Yang was simmering soup, digesting the latest news with some absent-mindedness.
Within a year, Dai Guogong successively attacked two princes vying for the position of crown prince.
This is pretty much what he thought. If you move to another place, this is the most profitable approach.
Because Qin Yang knew that they would definitely take action as soon as possible, and also knew that they were planning to win the country's destiny. Without the crown prince, the country's destiny would be unstable.
This is the so-called normal operation of killing someone while he is sick.
But now Qin Yang feels more and more that there is something really wrong with King Zhou. He may have been completely brainwashed by the Mask of the Phantom Heart. The kind that cannot be saved even after destroying the Mother Mask can be compared to irreversible brain damage.
Why do you think so? It's because the plots against King Zhao and King Zhou were different.
King Zhao is more playful, and they cheat together, taking advantage of King Zhao's greed and fear, and getting him to sign a covenant that is particularly beneficial to him.
The King of Zhou used to be very tolerant and calm, but in recent years he has become more calm and low-key. This kind of person has a gloomy mind, thinks more, and is very cautious. Over the years, the King of Zhou has almost never made any major mistakes.
You can tell one or two.
In this case, it would be extremely difficult to trick King Zhou with the Mask of Illusion Heart.
Why did it explode just now?
Of course, the means are not important, Qin Yang just sees the results.
King Zhao was suppressed on death row and would never see the light of day. To others, there was no difference between him and his death. To Qin Yang, it was just the difference between being able to be transcended and not being able to be transcended.
However, King Zhou and Emperor Ying did not directly kill him, but instead ordered to find a way to rescue him.
With Qin Yang's understanding of Emperor Ying, he could see through at a glance the key to why King Zhao and King Zhou were treated differently.
Discussing the heart and not caring about the traces.
What Emperor Ying cares about is not what they did, because nothing they do can change the world.
Emperor Ying only cares about what they want to do.
King Zhao was willing to sign the treaty, no matter whether it was to take advantage of the previous dynasty or to turn against him later. In his subjective consciousness, he colluded with the previous dynasty and violated Emperor Ying's biggest taboo.
As for King Zhou, he has done nothing now. He has clearly been deceived and his consciousness has moved toward Qianchao, but his will is still struggling, and he is bent on winning.
It is precisely because the conflict between the two thoughts is too great that he appears to be crazy.
That's why Emperor Ying gave him a chance.
It's definitely not because there is only one prince and grandson left in the royal family who is qualified and capable to inherit the position of crown prince.
Is this a cruel trick?
That's not right. It's too risky for them to do this. The decision depends entirely on Emperor Ying's will. If Emperor Ying's thoughts change, King Zhou may end up like King Zhao.
Or, the King of Zhou was not brainwashed, and did Duke Dai really want to kill him or cripple him?
For a moment, Qin Yang felt like he couldn't tell the difference.
He got up and went to Lidu, found Shen Xingluo who was present at the time, and listened to Shen Xingluo explain in detail what happened at that time.
The twists and conflicts of wills that unfolded in front of everyone could not be hidden from everyone, nor could they be hidden from Emperor Ying in front of him.
No matter how suspicious Qin Yang was, he could only believe that the King of Zhou did not collude with the previous dynasty, but that the previous dynasty wanted to harm him.
Maybe the people he picked out by using the list were just time bombs planted by Dai Guogong.
The wedding dress hasn't come back from Kuishan yet, which means that the sister-in-law hasn't helped him find where Dai Guogong and his family are.
After thinking about it, Qin Yang looked at Shen Xingluo.
"I would like to meet King Zhou. Can you arrange it if there is a chance?"
"It's not easy. King Zhou was not imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, nor was he imprisoned in Dingtiansi. He was just controlled in the Prince Zhou's Mansion and was guarded by both the Ministry of Punishment and Dingtiansi." Shen Xingluo was quite embarrassed. If he was in the Ministry of Punishment,
Qin Yang just met him, and he would definitely open the door to convenience.
But with Dingtiansi, this may not be the case.
"Hasn't the leader of Dingtiansi left Lidu? Who is in charge of the affairs of Prince Zhou's palace?"
"Han Anming."
"Hahaha, old Han." Qin Yang laughed three times and was overjoyed: "Since Han Anming is here, I just went to see and chat for a few words. He shouldn't make things difficult for me."
Shen Xingluo personally took Qin Yang to Prince Zhou's Mansion.
When Han Anming heard that Shen Xingluo was bringing people, he immediately came out to stop him. However, as soon as he showed up, he heard loud laughter first.
"Old Han, I came to see you. Are you surprised or surprised?"
Han Anming's footsteps paused, his facial features wrinkled together, and he looked like he had stepped on dog shit.
"Master Shen, please lead the way. I'll have a few words with Old Han alone." Qin Yang said goodbye to Shen Xingluo, took the initiative to step forward, pulled Han Anming and walked to the pavilion beside him.
"Old Han, I'm here to see you this time, but it's business. Don't look so grim and act like I'm coming to collect debts."
Han Anming reluctantly broke away from Qin Yang's hand, but still followed him into the pavilion. He was not afraid of debt collectors, but was afraid of Qin Yang. When he saw Qin Yang, he knew that something was up to him.
"Mr. Qin, please tell me what you have to say. I am on official business and it is not convenient for me to chat too much."
"Who said I was just chatting? I really have serious business, but..." Qin Yang paused and looked around: "It's not convenient to publicize this matter."
Seeing that Han Anming didn't respond, Qin Yang added another sentence.
"I promise I'm just here to chat, not to do anything, and to leave as soon as we finish chatting."
Han Anming then waved his hand to the surrounding men, asking them to avoid it, and then casually placed a ban on the pavilion to prevent people from prying and eavesdropping.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I want to go and have a chat with King Zhou, I promise it's just a chat."
"No!" Han Anming flatly refused.
"Don't be too busy to refuse. I can reveal to you some information that has not yet been completely determined. The general range of Dai Guogong's lair has been determined, but now it is still difficult to determine the specific location.
Before that, I just want to talk to King Zhou. I have a way to determine whether his will is completely distorted and whether he can recover after destroying his mother's face.
If you feel uneasy, you can enter the palace now and ask the emperor for instructions."
"This..." Han Anming hesitated. Dingtiansi's first priority now is to find where Duke Dai is and where the mother side of Huanxin Mask is. After finding it as quickly as possible, he can find the mother side of Huanxin Mask.
The face is ruined.
They also wanted to find out whether King Zhou could still be saved.
Although he always felt that Qin Yang was like a disaster star, he did not doubt that Qin Yang would deceive him about this kind of thing.
"Only half an hour."
"good."
Han Anming personally led the way and took Qin Yang to the depths of Prince Zhou's Mansion. In a house, he saw Prince Zhou trapped in a glazed cage.
Countless runes were superimposed on the transparent glass, which suppressed all the power of King Zhou. There was a glass lamp above his head, hanging down layer by layer, exuding the power to intimidate distracting thoughts and calm the mind.
King Zhou sat cross-legged, his hair disheveled, and his head hanging down, like an old monk sitting withered.
"You only have half an hour." Han Anming reminded again.
"Don't worry, it might not take half an hour."
After Han Anming left, Qin Yang stepped into the room, squatted on the edge of the glazed cage, looked at King Zhou inside, and asked casually.
"His Royal Highness King Zhou, the former dynasty's lair in Kuishan has been found. Did you know?"
King Zhou, who had always lowered his head with his messy hair covering his face, suddenly raised his head after hearing these words, and fixed his eyes on Qin Yang with cold and calm eyes.
"Oh, it turns out you don't know." Qin Yang said somewhat surprised.
"Ha..." King Zhou sneered, moved his neck, and stared at Qin Yang with a smile on his face: "What don't I know? I don't know about being found, or I don't know that the former dynasty's lair is in Kuishan
?”
The fundamental question to be asked is not whether the king of Zhou knows or does not know. The question itself is a trap.
The previous dynasty’s home base was in Kuishan, and no one knew about it!
In fact, the old nest has not been found at all, and it is naturally impossible for King Zhou to know that it has been "found".
Therefore, if he knows the secret of Kuishan's lair, when faced with Qin Yang's casual words, his first reaction is to regard the previous sentence "the former dynasty's lair in Kuishan" as a fact that everyone knows. The question is
Do you know the last sentence?
There is only one answer, of course, I don’t know.
But he didn't answer the question, he just turned one question into two questions.
Qin Yang did not answer King Zhou's rhetorical question, but just sat down with a grin.
With just one sentence, Qin Yang was able to confirm one thing. How could King Zhao, who was so hesitant, greedy and incompetent, be the opponent of King Zhou?
"His Royal Highness King Zhou, have you ever heard that no matter what question you have, as long as you ask it, there will be an answer."
"You think too much and are too cautious, so you give more answers. I just didn't have anything to say, so I just found a sentence as a starting point, but you told me that you knew that the previous dynasty's home base was in Kuishan.
You didn't know they were found."
King Zhou didn't speak this time, and Qin Yang sneered.
"Cleverness leads to mistakes."
"Based on your past performance and personality, you would just remain silent or just say you don't know. But you are so smart that you insist on pointing out the trap in this sentence. It seems like you didn't answer me anything. In fact, you are
, people will subconsciously notice what they care about, even if it seems unimportant to others."
"You think you are smart and have been keeping a low profile, but in fact, you are still too stupid, because if you are really smart, even if you answer, you should only say, I don't know, so that I won't think too much."
"You are no better than King Zhao. Without Duke Dai helping you, how can you be King Zhao's opponent?"
"Ah, smart man."
Qin Yang leaned back with a slight sarcasm on his face.
King Zhou's eyes became increasingly gloomy, and his expression seemed to be shrouded in a shadow, but his breathing slowly accelerated a little, and anger was brewing, waiting to explode.
The deathly silence lasted for half a stick of incense.
"Haha..." King Zhou suddenly laughed, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha..."
After laughing for a while, King Zhou's expression slowly became distorted, and the corners of his mouth were raised high.
"Yes, I have long known that the former dynasty's home base was in Kuishan. I also know the specific location and even went there myself.
I know everything that Duke Dai has done. I just need to cooperate. I don't need to do anything. Now I just need to play a trick to get something that King Zhao and the prince have been fighting for their entire lives but cannot get.
I have already colluded with the previous government, so what?"
King Zhou laughed wildly for a moment, then his smile suddenly faded, and his cold eyes raised his head like a poisonous snake, staring at Qin Yang through the gap in the glass cage.
"Don't you just want me to say these words? I said it, but who dares to believe it? Who will believe it?
Do you know if this comes from my own heart or is it influenced by the mask of the illusory heart?
Then I say now that everything above is false.
Which ones do you think are true?”
"I don't know, I can't tell the difference in the first place, and now with the variable of the Phantom Heart Mask, I can't tell the difference even more." Qin Yang shook his head honestly, admitting that he couldn't tell which sentence was true and which was false.
"But, you are wrong. I never wanted to ask a clear question from the beginning. I just want to ask someone to help me confirm another thing."
Qin Yang stood up, patted his butt, turned around and walked outside the door, cupping his hands to the side.
"Senior, do you see anything? Is there something wrong with his soul? Is his will distorted by the Mask of the Illusory Heart?"
On the side of the gate, King Zhou was completely suppressed and sealed off. Where he couldn't see, the ghost and god order was hanging in the air. Above the ghost and god order, the shadow projected was swaying, implicating a figure floating there.
Among the monks in Dahuang who specialize in the way of spiritual soul, he is guaranteed to be ranked among the top three.
