my unparalleled way

Chapter 1310 Law and Morality
Lin Si was waiting for Yue Luoning's answer, he wanted to see how she could continue to argue this time.

Didn't she regard the law of the moon as sacred and lofty?Isn't he advocating severe punishment and strict laws like his father?Now that she doesn't act according to the monthly law, what qualifications does she have to excuse herself?
Yue Luoning was silent for a long time, and finally replied without any emotion: "The person who killed them was not me, but He Yu. I can only be regarded as a bystander who did not stop in advance. From the beginning to the end, Shuangze Ji Everything he made was his own decision, and I did not intervene in any way."

Although her answer was a certain degree of sophistry, and it was also extremely despicable to use it instead of saving her life, but Lin Si felt a lot better for no reason.

But he wouldn't give up on this issue, he only hoped to persuade Yue Luoning to 'correct' her.

"But you still seriously violated the law of the moon. I really can't believe that a person like you will act fairly."

However, Yue Luoning's answer took him by surprise.

"I really can't, and neither can my father." She replied very simply.

"What did you say?" Lin Si frowned suddenly.

"Whether laws or rules are made by people. Those who make the rules are beyond the rules. Otherwise, how can they protect their own interests? The law is one of the weapons they use to maintain their rule. How can they use the blade Aim yourself?"

"You mean that the father who advocates severe punishment is himself a person who does not obey the law?"

"Of course, according to the law of the moon, after Hanyue's rebellion, it would take a long and complicated trial to convict him, but the father executed him on the spot. According to the law of the moon, half of Yang Jie and other hundreds of rebels would be executed, but in the end They all stayed."

"This..." Lin Si was almost at a loss for words.

"All the courtiers present knew that it was against the law of the moon, but Qi Yongge Yun and other ministers pleaded for Yang Jie. Why? Because they all knew that for the sake of the overall situation, they had to be flexible. Otherwise, the court of the Moon Kingdom would be in chaos. .”

"This is clearly..."

"What is it? Ignoring the laws of the country or failing to lead by example? But I remember that you also pleaded for Yang Jie and the others. I still remember that according to the law of the moon, you hijacked me at the beginning. It was a capital offense, but who asked your crime? In the end , According to the law of the moon, amnesty should not be the case? Although that is the practice when you ascend the throne. What qualifications do you have to say this? Have you ever seen the law of the moon in your own eyes? You are a person who only acts according to your heart, right? ?”

"I...how could this be?"

Yue Luoning stared straight into his eyes, as if wanting to pry into the depths of his heart: "You have violated so many laws of the moon, but you still feel that you have a clear conscience and a clear mind. I want to ask You, why is this?"

This time, Lin Si was silent for a longer time.

He couldn't answer this question at all.Can he say it because he thinks those things are all right?Couldn't Yue Luoning say that?

He just accused Yue Luoning of being conceited, if he said that, he would be an even more conceited person.

In the end, it was Yue Luoning who broke the calm.

"Haven't you discovered it yet? Although you are in the imperial court, you still have the heart of a Jianghu person. You don't have any national laws in your eyes, do you? Your strength is too strong, and the law has no binding force on you. , Where does the reverence come from? What you obey is not the law, but morality. If you feel that the morality is justified, you can have a clear conscience."

Lin Si was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "You are right, so I don't know myself as well as you do. Yes, I only obey morality."

"Actually, you are already better than most practitioners in the world. At least, you can take the initiative to restrain yourself with morality. In some places, morality is looser than the law, but there are also many places. Although the law does not require it, the morality does. Tougher."

Lin Si shook his head. At this time, he had no intention of flaunting himself: "What about you? Could it be that the death of those people in Shuangzeji is morally justified?"

Even at this point, he still couldn't let go of the tragedy.

Up to now, he himself has discovered that the debate between him and Yue Luoning about ideas today, perhaps neither of them can convince the other.

But no matter what, he couldn't accept that so many innocent people were killed, but he still acted like nothing happened.In his opinion, this matter cannot be washed away no matter what, and Yue Luoning must give an explanation.

"It can't be justified." Yue Luoning replied with a calm face.

"But you did it anyway, and you still don't feel like you did anything wrong."

"Because I don't follow the rules."

"Ha, you are really an extremely wicked person! How can a person like you always be so righteous?"

"Our father is a good king to the people. Has he followed the morals? He killed his fourth brother. Do you think that is moral?"

Lin Si's complexion changed: "Don't you want to imitate him? I'm starting to worry about Brother Ye and Xiaoying Bingyun now!"

"I didn't think about it that way. That friendship is very precious to me."

Lin Siyou glanced at her: "I hope what you said is true."

"Oh, then I want to ask you, if one day, Yin Li led Tianhe people to send troops to the Yue Kingdom and kill the people of the Yue Kingdom, would you kill her? At that time, are you thinking of the interests of the people of the Yue Kingdom, or fulfilling The morality between you and her, stand by and watch?"

"She wouldn't do that."

"I'm just saying what if."

"I'll talk her out of it."

"What if you can't persuade me?"

"I'll push her away."

"Oh, is it an agreement to quit at the same time?"

"You...how did you know?" Lin Si was so surprised, he almost doubted whether Yue Luoning could 'read mind'.

"Sure enough, at that time you would only run away, thinking about fulfilling your own morality. If I were you, then I would definitely try to put her to death!"

"You don't understand the friendship between me and her. In fact, she and I will never be enemies at all, and she will not appear on the opposite side. Your assumption will never appear."

"Because she is also a moral person, right? For you, she can temporarily abandon the interests of Tianhe and Xingong? Once faced with a dilemma, she will run away and avoid confrontation with you?"

"How do you know her so well? You and her should not be familiar at all, right?"

"Yin Li is such a powerful person who is inextricably linked to you, how could I not investigate? What's more, I don't need to know her very well, because I know that if you were her, you would do that .No matter what she did, you wouldn't have the heart to kill her."

"Really..." Lin Si really wanted to refute, but found that he couldn't refute at all.

"But I am the Moon King. If I don't even protect my own country and avenge my people, but only think about the morality among friends, then what kind of Moon King am I? If a king is obsessed with Morally, then he wouldn't be a good king at all."

"Your hypothesis won't happen, so it's meaningless. My friend, you won't deal with the Moon Kingdom, so your so-called dilemma between morality and the Moon Kingdom won't happen at all."

"Really? Then tell me, when your father was alive, why were you unwilling to attack Qingchuan in the Southern Qi Dynasty? It was because of morality, right? At that time you thought it was unethical to invade, didn't you? But in the end, what did you gain? When you were strong, you didn't Hitting others, when you are weak, they have already rushed over, right? Even if you hit them now, it is only because they beat you and you are taking revenge, so you think it is morally justified, right? "

"Yes……"

"Then let me ask you, when you guard your morality, where do you put the country and people behind you? You only think of yourself with a clear conscience, but have you ever thought about it? Your position represents How many people are involved in the decision? When a king binds himself with morality, he actually binds the entire Yue Kingdom with morality in a disguised form, doesn’t he? Fulfilling your own morality, but sacrificing the interests of countless Yue people, ha, how willful is this? "

"I... didn't think about it that much at all, it's not what I want."

"But it's actually the case. Do you still think that a moral king is a good thing for the country and countless people behind him? He really won't harm the country? A moral king can really make the people live better?"

"You're right, that's right. In your opinion, what makes a good king?"

"It's very simple, follow the interests. It is in the interests of the Yue Kingdom and the interests of the majority of the people of the Moon Kingdom. Do it. Whether it is a robber or a butcher, whether it is robbing or reneging, no matter whether the means are glorious or not, as long as it can bring something to this country. If it’s good, I will do it! Without any constraints, I don’t care about his infamy and outside comments? Only in this way can Yue Kingdom get more and make most people’s lives better.”

Lin Si's heart was already full of ups and downs, and he finally found that, at least in terms of being a king, Yue Luoning was indeed countless times more suitable than him.

Her existence will allow Yue Kingdom to develop without any restraint.As for himself, he will use many things to restrain Yue Kingdom.

He finally shook his head: "However, no matter how you pursue interests, you need to have a bottom line. In any case, I will never accept the incident of Shuangzeji. Sacrifice a small number of innocent people to make the so-called overall situation come true. In any case, I will not agree. At least, I don’t want to see you take action against the people of this country again.”

Yue Luoning sighed softly, she knew that this was Lin Si's bottom line, if she didn't even agree to this...

Then even if he doesn't kill himself or turn against himself, he will betray himself, right?
Finally, her tone was no longer so fierce, but softened: "If it was not necessary, how could I kill the people of my own country? If He Yu and others hadn't done that, maybe I wouldn't have done it either." Thinking about killing them."

"The matter of Shuangzeji is not necessary. Even if you really want to set up a trap, you can inform me before the incident of Shuangzeji. I will let He Yu and others Not to mention, killing innocent people is never necessary!"

"I see." Yue Luoning nodded.

Lin Si didn't know if Yue Luoning was just playing it off, or if he really made a promise.However, he also knew that this was the limit of concessions that Yue Luoning could express.
