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..
