Chapter 193 Law is to maintain, to restrain and to protect

In Zi Nu's opinion, Han Fei is a very powerful person. How could a person who can make the arrogant Wei Zhuang, the successor of Guiguzi, truly admire him be an ordinary person? And Zi Nu's judgment is not only based on Wei Zhuang, but also because of her own understanding. In the limited contact, Zi Nu knows Han Fei's intelligence and talent. Han Fei can definitely be called a genius among geniuses.

But even though this is such a rare genius, Yang Chong now says that Xiao He, an unknown Chu man, can be compared with him.

If it weren't for her trust in Yang Chong, Zi Nu would definitely not believe such a judgment, but her trust in Yang Chong did not mean that she had no doubts about it.

Yang Chong also saw Zi Nu's doubts, and he was always very patient with the women in his family, so he continued to explain: "Let's put it this way, if Han Fei and Xiao He were traveling together and came across a poor village, both of them would feel pity for the village. At this time, Han Fei would probably say that the world's people are so stupid, and I should teach them to be diligent and frugal so that they can live a good life."

"This is something Han Fei could say, but is there anything wrong with it?" Zi Nu nodded. Based on her understanding of Han Fei, Han Fei was indeed such a person.

"I didn't say it was wrong, but someone like Xiao He would not say such things. He would say that life in the world is very difficult, and he should guide the villagers to be diligent and frugal and improve their lives." Yang Chong had a good impression of people like Xiao He and Liu Ji.

No matter what their original intention was, this group of people from Pei County did respond to the calls of the people of the world at that time. They also saw the countless living beings, instead of treating the people as their own domesticated livestock with an arrogant attitude.

"One tames, the other guides, is this the difference between the two?" Zi Nu was very wise. Although she didn't understand why Yang Chong said so, she still found the difference at the first moment.

"Everything about a person like Han Fei is good. His character and wisdom are impeccable. But there is one thing that is not good for him. He was born into a royal family and studied under a famous teacher. The people he associates with are either princes and nobles, or famous people in the world. Such a person is born arrogant. He may be a good person, but he is a good person in his own imagination." Yang Chong said.

Is Han Fei a good person? Of course he is a good person, with a kind heart, but he is also arrogant. His kindness to others is often a gesture of charity.

But Xiao He was different. Although he could not be considered as the lower class, he was an official who had to come into contact with the lower class all the time. He knew what the real lower class was like and what they really needed. In his eyes, the lower class were living people, not like Han Fei, who only regarded the lower class as words he saw when he browsed the bamboo slips.

"Your evaluation is quite fair. Han Fei is indeed such a person. When he was in Zilanxuan, he was very nice to the maids around him. But I always felt that even if he talked to us with a smile, there was a layer of subtle barrier between us. At that time, I just thought it was because I was too vigilant. Now after listening to what you said, I finally understand. It turns out that his approachability is just due to his self-cultivation. His condescending attitude and his scrutiny allow him to be kind to people like us. After all, people will not be fierce to ants!" Zi Nu said suddenly.

Zi Nu, who suddenly realized something, looked at Yang Chong with a little more brilliance in her eyes.

Only Zi Nu herself knew that she had felt a little moved between Yang Chong and Han Fei at the beginning, but perhaps it was because of Yang Chong's direct and passionate pursuit, or perhaps she subconsciously realized what kind of person Han Fei was, so she finally chose Yang Chong.

However, in her subconscious, she still had some doubts. After hearing Yang Chong's analysis of Han Fei today, Zi Nu finally understood why she couldn't get really close to Han Fei in the first place.

In essence, she and Yang Chongcai are the same person. As for Han Fei, there is still a layer of separation between them.

"Just like his understanding of law, this Ninth Prince, who studied Confucianism but became successful in Legalism, defined law as a technique for educating the people, but he deviated from the essence of law." Yang Chong was worried that Zi Nu still couldn't understand what he said, so he added.

"What is the essence of Dharma?" Zi Nu was even more curious. She really enjoyed chatting with Yang Chong. Yang Chong didn't have any profound or obscure words, but he was able to point directly to the essence of things.

"The essence of law should be to maintain a specific order, in which everyone is restrained and protected," said Yang Chongdao.

"Restraint and protection? The restraint is for the upper class, and the protection is for the lower class?" Zi Nu analyzed. From her understanding of Yang Chong, Yang Chong always had a kind of prejudice towards royal nobles. Instead, he had an inexplicable closeness to those who didn't even have his own surname.

The constraints and protections that Yang Chong mentioned were all Zi Nu could think of.

"You are only half right. The law not only restrains the upper class, but also the lower class. The law should restrain the upper class from trampling on the lower class wantonly, because if the lower class is really pushed to the limit, they will retaliate and destroy everything. Therefore, the law's restraint on the upper class is also to protect the upper class. The same principle applies to the law on the lower class." Yang Chong explained.

Absolute equality is impossible for a society to exist, and Yang Chong never expected such a country to exist. However, this reality does not mean that people should give up the pursuit of equality. There is no absolute fairness, but there can be relative fairness.

What Yang Chong wants to do is to make people have such relative equality, so that everyone has the equal right to pursue survival, or even a better survival. Although the beautiful blueprint of a harmonious society may not be realized, the wish that every family will not suffer from food, clothing, housing and transportation, will not be bullied by others, and everyone can live with a smile can still be realized.

"Then who made this law? Was it the king?" Zi Nu asked curiously. It was the first time she heard such a statement. She found it very interesting and meaningful.

"It may be the king during the formulation process, but after it is formed, the king cannot change it at will. Once formed, it is a rule for the operation of the country and society. Well, that's enough. Let's pack up and head to Jibei County. That's where we will take off." Yang Chong stopped the topic. If he continued, there might be unpredictable dangers.

"I won't go to Jibei County with you." Zi Nu said something that Yang Chong didn't expect.

"You..." Yang Chong looked at Zi Nu in surprise. Of course, he would not think that Zi Nu was going to leave him, but why did Zi Nu say this in this era?
"Don't forget, you have to gain the trust of King Yan of Zhao. If our whole family goes to Jibei, King Yan of Zhao and others will not be at ease. Moreover, we also need to keep track of the movements of Zhao State at all times. I am here and can help you collect intelligence." Zi Nu stated her reasons.

"You think a lot." Yang Chong didn't know what to say for a moment. Meeting a woman who only thought about him, should he be moved to tears?

"We should do so." Zi Nu was very serious. This was the answer she had thought about for a long time, and it was also the most appropriate and best answer.

"I want Zi Nu, not a subordinate. Don't have such thoughts anymore, and..." Yang Chong approached Zi Nu with a serious face. He thought that it was necessary for him to take action to change Zi Nu's mind.

"What are you going to do?" Looking at the approaching Yang Chong, Zi Nu instinctively felt a sense of danger.

"I asked you to give birth to a child for me, not to work for me." Yang Chong put his arm around Zi Nu's shoulders and picked her up by the waist before she could struggle.

"Let me go." Zi Nu said in panic. Although she and Yang Chong had been intimate with each other before, this time was different. She could feel it.

"I have finally caught your hand, how can you let it go so easily? Woman, I want you to give up those naive ideas now. Hostages, intelligence gathering, do I need you to do those things? Everything I do is so that we can be together forever, not to separate us because of bullshit helplessness." Yang Chong held Zi Nu's shoulders tightly, hugged her waist, and headed towards the backyard regardless of her struggle.

Zi Nu struggled, but how could she break free from Yang Chong's restraints with her strength? Along the way, many busy and idle women looked at Yang Chong and Zi Nu who were passing by quickly. They showed curious looks, and then they suddenly realized, and even found it funny. They had already understood that none of the women in Zi Lan Xuan were simple.

However, they were still very curious to see their sister like this, and once women's curiosity was aroused, it could be extraordinary, not to mention that they were a group of curious women.

So the backyard of the Yang Mansion quickly exploded. Word spread from one to two, from two to four, and from four to eight. In less than a moment, everyone in the backyard of the Yang Family knew one thing: Sister Zi Nu was going to be eaten.

"Is Sister Zi Nu going to enter the bridal chamber?" Hong Yu approached Cai Die with a curious look on her face.

"That should be the case. Ha, the pretentious Sister Zi Nu is doomed now!" Cai Die said excitedly.

At this time, more and more women have gathered here, and they have all heard about it. Now that they know what is going to happen, are they going to do something secretly?

"Should we go and take a look?" Nong Yu suddenly asked in the crowd.

All eyes were focused on Nanyue at once. They had never imagined that Nanyue, who was the purest in the past, would actually say such words.

But this proposal is really exciting!
In Zi Nu's bedroom, Zi Nu, who was thrown onto the bed by Yang Chong, protected her chest with one hand and her belt with the other, and looked at Yang Chong who was approaching step by step in panic: "What are you going to do?"
