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.
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.
“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?
