At this time, Uncle Acne hurriedly summoned Gongsun Ying, apologized to him, and said: "I have always been a man who is a king first and then a minister, so I first consider and recommend killing you for the sake of the king, and now I will tell you the details, you should flee quickly!."Gongsun Ying said, "If the king does not believe your words and reuses me, how can he listen to your words and kill me?"So he never fled.

After King Wei Hui came out of Gongsun Acne's house, he said to the attendants around him: "Uncle Acne's condition is too serious, it's really sad!."Isn't it contradictory that he first asked me to entrust the affairs of the state to Gongsun Ying, and then persuaded me to kill him?”
