Within the crumbling temple, even the mournful cold wind couldn't suppress Zhou Changshou's furious roar.

He looked ferocious, his eyes fixed on Zhou Ping'an, and saliva dripped from his mouth onto Zhou Changshou's face.

“As for the latter, there is no need to consider it at all. Once you force Prince Ning, given his personality, he will only have the option of rebellion. The reason why Prince Ning hasn't made a move over the years is not because he lacks the strength or desire, but because the current emperor is still alive and he lacks the courage to make a decisive break.”

Once the East Palace uses this incident to forcefully blame Prince Ning, then under such a massive accusation, Prince Ning will have no choice but to rebel. This would eliminate his last shred of hesitation and turn him into the final straw that breaks the entire Qin Empire!

"Zhou Ping'an, tell me, how does the prince thank you How does the court thank you Do you know now how reckless you were!"

Zhou Ping'an, facing Zhou Changshou's accusations, wiped the saliva from his face and weakly said, "Second brother, don't get so worked up, don't scold me."

Just when Zhou Changshou thought Zhou Ping'an had come to his senses, he heard Zhou Ping'an say weakly, "Your saliva is almost enough for me to wash my face. Are you so rude even when you are by King Ning's side Washing King Ning's face with your saliva every day"

Zhou Changshou stared wide-eyed at Zhou Ping'an, extending his trembling finger to point at him. Finally, he let out a long sigh, filled with pain and regret: "Why would I have you as my brother When our parents gave birth to you, why didn't they just kill you right then and there Are you really my brother, or are you my nemesis!"

Zhou Ping'an laughed out loud, but every laugh brought on a cough, and every cough pulled at his wound.

"Cough cough cough."

Zhou Ping'an covered his chest and coughed violently, coughing up a fair amount of blood from his chest. After that, his complexion looked a little more ruddy.

He then said, "Second brother, you're right about everything you just said, but have you ever thought about why I'm so insistent on doing things my way"

"Because you're crazy."

Zhou Changshou looked coldly at Zhou Ping'an and said, "If I didn't know it was impossible, I would even suspect that you are Wen Wang's person, because once King Ning is forced to rebel, the court suffers the most losses, and King Ning will also fall into injustice. Only Wen Wang sits back and reaps the benefits."

He shook his head and said, "Wen Wang, you are a disgrace to your name. You should be ashamed to associate with him."

He may be a qualified warlord, but he would certainly not be a qualified emperor. He is definitely not someone I wish to assist. Such a wolf in sheep's clothing, how could I possibly support him Second brother, your words are tantamount to insults.

Zhou Changshou let out a cold snort and, with a stern face, remained silent.

Zhou Ping'an then continued, "Actually, the logic of this matter is very simple. Any reasonable person can see it. What is obvious cannot be wrong. So what you analyzed just now, second brother, is correct. However, the good and bad of any thing are not absolute. Everything has two sides. Standing at different angles will lead to completely different results."

“The current situation is that King Ning is privately hiding and manufacturing weapons. This is something the Qin Empire absolutely cannot tolerate, so he must be severely punished. However, the court currently lacks the ability to punish King Ning severely. But if we let him go easily, it will set a precedent for other vassal kings to follow suit. As my second brother said, this could lead to warlords vying for power and the country falling into chaos.”

"I've already said this, what do you want me to repeat it for" Zhou Changshou said coldly.

Zhou Ping'an smiled and said, "But what if we look at it from a different angle What if the imperial court didn't punish Ning Wang severely or let him go easily, but instead shielded him, saying that all these things were secretly allowed by the imperial court for Ning Wang to prepare in order to deal with the Liao army"t the Taihe Hall.This is a private conversation between myself representing the cabinet and the East Palace. It's not like those grand pronouncements made in court where everything needs to be justifi...
