Master of Strange Dao

Those who do not understand the truth will always find the problem within the Emperor Qian's punishments and rewards.

Naturally, they all believe the Ministry of Justice's conclusion because only this way, the Emperor Qian won't have his nose led by others.

The court situation can't possibly be dictated by a dying traitor.

But those who know the truth are all baffled.

The Crown Prince doesn't understand, Song doesn't understand, and Yu Ziqing understands even less.

The kind of person Emperor Qian is, to be honest, even the Emperor Qian himself might not rank in the top ten who understand this the best.

Many inadvertent habits, some ways of thinking, one cannot easily break through their own barriers.

But those courtiers and eunuchs who are desperate to analyze the Emperor's actions, even if it's just a passing wind, are all seeing things very clearly.

Song thinks that Emperor Qian is making way for advancement for the sake of stability.

Unless the Crown Prince rebels now, otherwise, Emperor Qian would never waste the Crown Prince, destabilizing the foundation of the nation.

Now, he is just stabilizing the Crown Prince, and after a few hundred years, when Emperor Qian advances, he will settle accounts after the fact, finding any random excuse, like the Crown Prince's fart at a court meeting, to dispose of him.

Yu Ziqing doesn't believe this; he doesn't believe this reason at all.

He hasn't met Emperor Qian, but over the years, he has seen many of the Emperor's decisive examples.

Emperor Qian could never be someone who is willing to compromise.

Song and the others probably understand Emperor Qian too, but their perspective is too deeply rooted in that of a cultivator, they value the Tenth Tier too highly, that's why they find this view normal.

Yu Ziqing thought long and hard, and there's only one possibility, Emperor Qian has known about this for a long time.

Only if he knew long ago and still let the Crown Prince become the Regent, and after being exposed, lightly make such a decision, would it make sense.

As long as he guards the home and stability, with the Crown Prince's abilities, nothing will go wrong.

Just like Dadui now, Yu Ziqing merely set the main direction, not having gone there for ten years, it hasn't affected anything.

Meddling around, causing trouble, frequently changing decrees, would instead more easily lead to problems.

It's just that Yu Ziqing doesn't understand, if Emperor Qian knew about the Crown Prince's matters long ago, why would he act this way.

Could it be that the previous attack on the White Water Egg base was merely using the opportunity to act, and he didn't care about the result at all?

If we push it further back, he might have known about those matters long ago.

Yu Ziqing immediately recalled whether he had left any flaws.

After thinking for a while, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Many matters involving Jinlan Mountain, have both bright and dark lines, supporting each other, at least from reasons to motivations, there are no problems.

Most of the time, they were passively involved, or it was for personal vendettas.

Even if Emperor Qian knew some things early on, it wouldn't be a big issue.

A few days later, Yu Ziqing got news that not only was the Crown Prince not suppressed, but his power was even increased.

On the contrary, the Prince who was the first to jump out and incite using the Jade Tablet was directly excluded from the line of succession.

Yu Ziqing became increasingly convinced that his wild guess might be right.

He immediately went to see Yang.

"I want to ask you something, how well do you know Emperor Qian?"

"Not very well, people from the Langya Institute rarely pay attention to Emperor Qian unless they are asking for money and resources.

At most, when the court needs something, they inform the Langya Institute, and people here spare some time to do it.

For the rest of the time, the court wouldn't directly interfere with the Langya Institute's affairs.

This has been an established rule on the surface for a long time.

Once the court interferes, it would inevitably get deeper and deeper.

Over time, Langya Institute would inevitably lose its most important role.

So a long time ago, the rules were set. "

"I think Emperor Qian might have known the Crown Prince was No.2 long ago." Yu Ziqing told Yang the latest information.

Yang was shocked.

"Impossible...if for the stability of the nation, for the Tenth Tier, it would indeed make sense, but you saying he knew long ago, seems plausible too.

Emperor Qian has deep intentions, it's not impossible.

It could be that Emperor Qian doesn't want to have his nose led by others.

If a small character can cause the removal of the Crown Prince he appointed, then it would indeed be too easy.

Emperor Qian wouldn't allow such a thing to happen."

Yu Ziqing felt that he underestimated Emperor Qian, being too optimistic about resolving everything in one stroke.

Even if he hadn't considered matters of father-son affection, he would have still considered that Emperor Qian, for the sake of face, couldn't immediately make a move against the Crown Prince.

With a change of thought, Yu Ziqing continued.

"Also, that Dragon Talisman; that's the most crucial point.

How did the Crown Prince get that thing, it's not that I look down on the Crown Prince.

With his abilities alone, there's no way this Dragon Talisman, nor that patchwork monster, could have originated from him.

Even just by him easily handing the Dragon Talisman to No.5, I know, he has no idea what this thing represents.

He only used the patchwork monster as a strong fierce beast.

Once it is sent out, no matter how you trace afterward, it can only be found that it's a fierce beast, nothing else can be traced back.

I think he merely wanted to conceal his identity and thus used the patchwork monster.

Otherwise, mobilizing a Ninth Tier Strong would not be that difficult.

Study the patchwork monster carefully, especially that Dragon Talisman.

If you really can't figure it out, then give it to me, I'll make a trip to the East Sea and ask the old dragon of the Dragon Clan."

Yang contemplated for a moment and nodded.

"In a few days, let's make a trip to the East Sea together."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziqing sensed the aura on Yang and was immediately shocked.

"Is it possible to transform so quickly? Aren't you too hasty?"

"Actually, it could have been done long ago..."
