Lorne picked up the wine glass on the table and downed it in one gulp.

  Weiss, who was beside him, quickly refilled his glass. It was obvious that he had gotten used to it already.

  Then Lorne continued, “Let’s not talk about how to determine the sentence first. Let’s talk about the first dynasty of officials in the Ministry of Justice and the law department that you mentioned.

  “They think that the case of Liu Tong’s stepmother killing her father is a case from the previous dynasty and not a matter of the current dynasty, so they didn’t record and pay attention to it. I wonder what you and your son think of this?”

  Lorne took the initiative to throw out a question back at them.

  Kyle immediately gave Weiss a look. This was a good time to show off that his son was a well educated boy in front of his teacher. He had to quickly leave a good impression on Lorne so that he could to be more willing to teach his First Prince.

  Of course, the real reason was that it was difficult for Kyle to say this question himself.

  The reason why he had not been able to finally decide how this case would end was because he had taken this factor into consideration.

  Nowadays, Lolan did not care about the affairs of the previous kingdom rulings. This was the common opinion of most palace officials.

  The magistrates and chief judges in the local court generally dealt with matters in this way.

  Therefore, in Kyle’s opinion, the view held by the officials in the Ministry of Justice and the department of law was somewhat reasonable.

  However, in front of Lorne, Kyle did not dare to say this view out loud. Instinctively, he thought that he would be criticized after saying such a perspective.

  Therefore, he simply threw the opportunity to answer the question to his son and let the First Prince, Weiss, take the blame.

  If he answered correctly, he would leave a good impression on his new teacher. If he did not answer correctly, he might have a lighter sentence as compared to Kyle if he answered.

  Sure enough, scamming his son was a traditional skill of this family. Kyle had honed this skill quite well.

  After noticing his father’s gaze, Weiss immediately perked up. Then, he said to Lorne with some respect, “Teacher, I think what these officials said makes sense.

  “After all, there was a long period of chaos between the previous dynasty and the current dynasty. It may change its forces several times. Causing the filing system information to be extra chaotic

  “So now that the Lolan Empire has been unified, we’ve reformed and replaced the past. We’ve filed the messy documents from the previous dynasties and adjusted the chaotic period. We even started recording and discussing all kinds of cases again.

  “Therefore their opinions should be considered a reasonable matter.”

  After Weiss finished answering, what awaited him was not Lorne’s comments or praise.

  Instead, Lorne looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

  This gaze lasted for nearly half a minute, and it gave Weiss goosebumps all over his body.

  Under this gaze, it was as if he had really become a fool. The First Prince could not help but cough dryly to cover up his embarrassment.

  “Teacher, is there anything wrong with what I said?”

  Lorne could not help but pat him on the shoulder.

  “Fortunately, you and your father are common businessmen. Thank goodness you’re a businessman, so you won’t be involved in politics or official matters.

  “If you were, I would definitely advise you not to step into official matters. Otherwise, with your judgment, it would be difficult for you to survive!”

  Weiss’s facial muscles suddenly twitched twice. This evaluation was too harsh. If he was really the son of a businessman, it would be fine, but he was the First Prince.

  The First Prince of the current dynasty — the future king — was actually being evaluated by his teacher as someone who did not understand politics and could not survive in political manners.

  He might as well find a rope now and hang himself on the beam of the house to die considering how well educated he is.

  Looking at his precious son’s somewhat dumbfounded and forced look, Kyle felt a little heartache, but at the same time, he could not help but feel a little smug.

  He was still the smart one. He knew that he should first shift the blame to the First Prince. Otherwise, he would have definitely been the one being looked down upon.

  As expected, after he became familiar with the ways of how Lorne posed, he became much smarter in everything he did. It seemed that if he stayed with a genius for too long, he too would gradually assimilate into an intelligent person.

  Of course, even though he was proud of himself, Kyle still opened his mouth to help his son out of the predicament.

  “Boss, tell us in detail, why exactly do you think like that?”

  Lorne gestured his hands and explained to Kyle.

  “The idea that the current dynasty does not care about the previous dynasty is actually not wrong. It is not a big deal to bring it up

  “It would make sense for ordinary people and officials to think that way. After all, it can greatly reduce the paperwork.

  “But for the important officials of the palace who want to mingle in the upper echelons of the palace or even have a higher status, the members of the royal family must not have such a thought.

  “Now it’s the Lolan Empire’s era. Our Lolan Empire hasn’t been established for a long time, and the hearts of the people are still weary of the Lolan Empire.

  “We should empathize with the concept at hand to garner the hearts of our people.”

  Perhaps Weiss did not quite understand this sentence, but Kyle had started to appreciate Lorne’s perspective.

  After all, he was the king, an expert in politics. Kyle had already deciphered some profound meaning from this sentence. Therefore, as soon as Lorne stopped talking, Kyle impatiently asked another question, “Boss, what concept should we emphasize on?”

  Lorne glanced at Kyle, whose face was filled with curiosity and interest, as well as Weiss, who was still in a half-dazed and half-regretful state.

  He immediately said, “This concept is very simple, that the world is the Lolan Empire’s world.

  “There is no difference between the previous dynasty and the current dynasty. Those who are physically strong, their upper and lower dynasties should be under the jurisdiction of the Lolan Empire.

  “The higher-ups of the palace are in charge. Only by maintaining this concept can the hearts of the people yearn for the Lolan Empire to become more cohesive and powerful.

  “Because only in this way will the people always remember that they are in the Lolan Empire and are people of the Lolan Empire.

  “Otherwise, if there is a previous dynasty here and a previous dynasty there, are the people in the world the survivors of the previous dynasty or the people of the Lolan Empire?

  “To be more clear, if the murder cases committed by the previous dynasties are not recorded in the current dynasty, then…

  “They are not people born during these two periods. If the household registration is lost, does that mean that the population is not counted and there is no need to pay taxes?”

  As soon as Lorne finished speaking, Kyle was immediately shocked.

  The cutlery in his hand could not hold on any longer and fell onto the table with a clank.

  Superb, exquisite, he is beyond compare!

  What a great distinction between the current dynasty and the previous dynasty. What a great cohesion of the common people and their determination to support the Lolan Empire.

  As the King of the Lolan Empire, he had never paid attention to this aspect.

  He had never thought of making the people trust the Lolan Empire more spiritually and in terms of the sense of belonging to the kingdom.

  Compared to this young man in front of him, he seemed to be somewhat incompetent as a king.

  In terms of playing chess, Lorne was probably 18 steps ahead of him. Compared to him, the political understanding of Kyle seemed to be far inferior……

  I'll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan!

  After silently debating with himself, Kyle picked up the cutlery that he had just dropped.

  Under Lorne’s somewhat surprised gaze, Kyle quickly explained, “What you said shocked me. It was so true. I felt a chill and couldn’t hold on to my cutlery.”

  Lorne immediately said in surprise, “Not bad, old friend. You actually understood what I said. I thought I was just speaking to myself.”

  Kyle was speechless.

  Could it be that he had already left an impression of being a fool to Lorne?

  ‘Hey, that was too much. I’m still the King of Lolan.’

  Although after spending so much time with him, Kyle had indeed discovered many shortcomings in politics. Obviously, it was not to the point where he was confused with everything that Lorne had said.

  However, when he thought of how he had always been at a disadvantage in this interaction, Kyle could only hold his forehead.

  Then, Lorne said to Weiss, “Perhaps you don’t need to understand these matters that involve the court’s policies. In fact, it’s nothing more than grasping by analogy and drawing inferences from others.

  “Even when it comes to business and trading, it’s the same principle.

  “Today, you’ve completed a big business and took over another trading firm. What’s the first thing you’ll do?

  “You’ll have to change your name and not mention the original owner of this trading firm. Let the original employees of this trading firm forget their old owners. That way, they’ll be able to help you survive in the business world better.

  “To put it in layman terms, that’s what it means. I wonder how much you’ll understand though.”

  Weiss was initially a little confused, but after Lorne gave him another example, he somewhat understood.

  The most important thing was to ease the people’s hearts and strengthen the impression and status of the Lolan Empire as a whole.

  From this point to the case just now, it was enough to overrule the opinion of the previous officials in the Ministry of Justice and the law department.

  There should be no dynasty gap between the previous dynasty and the current dynasty, after all, they were all under Lolan’s jurisdiction. This was the concept that people in the palace should have.

  After thinking this through, Weiss could not help but clap his hands in admiration and secretly praise him in his heart.

  ‘That was f*cking amazing. He’s more like a member of the royal family than a real member of the royal family. ‘

  Looking at his father’s appearance and his current confused look, he definitely had not thought of this aspect.

  The King of Lolan and the First Prince of Lolan were tied up together. In terms of governing the country and controlling the hearts of the people, they were directly surpassed by Lorne, a tiny tavern owner.

  Weiss now completely believed that Lorne had amazing talent and was full of experience and knowledge.

  With just this method of playing politics, it was something that an ordinary person could never be able to think of. Even if he had this thought, he would never be able to explain it clearly.

  As expected, his teacher was really a great and rare talent. The teacher that his father had found for him was not at all a loss.

  Weiss could not help but secretly rejoice in his heart. He was glad that such a great talent had been born at the same time as him. Otherwise, he would have missed out on such an excellent teacher.

  After clearing his thoughts, Weiss could not help but raise his wine glass.

  “What you’ve said made me have an epiphany, let us toast to that!”

  As he said that, he suddenly raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

  Looking at Weiss’s forthright manner, Lorne’s eyes lit up.

  This kid was not that bad after all. He did a good job of honoring his teacher, allowing him to have a bit of a teacher’s style.

  He immediately smiled and waited for Weiss to finish his drink. Then, he said in a concluding manner, “What I said just now was a little thing that I taught you on the spur of the moment.

  “Good thing it was enough for you to roughly understand it. After all, it’s not some profound knowledge.”

  After hearing it, the First Prince Weiss could not help but exclaim in admiration.

  Look at this teacher’s high integrity and excellent character. He was so humble!

  Such profound knowledge was only considered a small thing to him. If that was so, then what kind of truth would be considered big?

  Weiss was now in a state of being completely brainwashed because Lorne had told him how to govern the country and how to influence the previous dynasty. Lorne did not care about how his student was applauding him in his heart. He just asked the two of them to continue eating.

  Then he continued, “Now, let’s go back to the case just now. Since the so-called theory of the previous dynasty and the current dynasty is nonsense, then the name of Liu Tong avenging his father is established.

  “Although I, Lolan, have strict laws, and should pay the murderer with his life, the death penalty is the most direct punishment.

  “But there’s one thing that’s also very important. He avenged his father. It’s common sense to promote filial piety that I, Lolan, have always abided by.

  “Although this kind of behavior isn’t advocated, there’s still room for human kindness outside of the law. Sometimes, when sentencing, these other factors must be taken into account.

  “In addition, Liu Tong’s stepmother already has evidence of her guilt. Liu Tong’s way of doing this is equivalent to eliminating her from the list of crimes.

  “In addition to avenging his father, his crime should be further reduced on the basis of the death penalty. In the end, it could be decided that he should be imprisoned on death row or exiled three thousand miles away.

  “Such a sentence is more reasonable than the death penalty.”

  After Lorne’s initial analysis, which completely refuted the views of the officials of the Ministry of Justice and the law department. Kyle and Weiss no longer had any objection to him reaching this conclusion.

  Since he killed his mother, he should be sentenced to death. In addition to avenging his father and his stepmother’s sin, he could be reduced to one or two charges.

  1

  He can be sentenced to death imprisonment, which was life imprisonment, or to be exiled 3,000 miles away.

  This kind of conclusion was simply impeccable. Kyle and Weiss could not help but applaud and praise it.

  This time, Weiss simply stood up and bowed deeply to Lorne.

  “Father told me earlier that he found a teacher. I saw how young you looked and felt a little embarrassed.

  “Now, I’ve realized how shallow my thoughts were. People can be truly knowledgeable regarding their age.

  1

  “Although I’m about the same age as you, in terms of breadth of knowledge and understanding of everything in the world, I’m really not as knowledgeable as you.

  “With your knowledge, I’m sure that many people that have grown white hair are far inferior to you. It’s my honor to be able to acknowledge you as my teacher!”

  Lorne could not help but scratch his head after being tricked by Weiss.

  This young man was really an honest man, showing so much respect to his teacher.

  When he fools this disciple in the future, would his heart ache?

  I'll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan!
