Chapter 1315: Law and Morality

Lin Si was waiting for Yue Luoning's answer, he wanted to see how she could continue to quibble this time. Coke has updated the finale

Didn't she regard the law of the moon as so sacred and noble? Didn't she advocate the strict law of punishment like her father? Now that she herself does not act according to the law of the moon, what qualification does she have to excuse herself?

Yue Luoning was silent for a long time, and finally replied without the slightest 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 beginning to end, the matter of Shuangzeji was a decision made by himself, and I did not interfere in any way. ”

Although her answer can be regarded as a sophistry to a certain extent, and it is also extremely despicable to use it instead of saving her when she sees death, Lin Si is inexplicably much better.

However, he will not give up on this issue, he only hopes that this will persuade Yue Luoning to 'correct' her.

"But you still seriously violated the law of the moon, and I really can't believe that someone like you will act fairly. ”

It's just that Yue Luoning's answer surprised him greatly.

"Surely I can't, neither can my father. She replied dryly.

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

"Laws and rules, both laws and rules, are made by man. How can those who make rules be beyond the rules, otherwise how can they protect their own interests? The law is one of the weapons they use to maintain their rule, so how can they aim their blades at themselves?"

"You mean, my father, who advocated strict punishment, was himself a lawless person?"

"Of course, according to the law of the moon, after the Hanyue rebellion, it would take a long and complicated trial to convict, but his father directly executed him on the spot. According to the law of the month, half of the hundreds of traitors such as Yang Jie at that time would be executed, but in the end, all of them stayed. ”

"This ......," Lin Si almost stopped.

All the courtiers present understood that it was not in line with the law of the moon, but at that time, Qi Yongge Yun and other ministers all opened their mouths to intercede for Yang Jie. Why? Because they all know that for the sake of the big picture, they had to be flexible. Otherwise, the court of the Moon Kingdom will be in chaos. ”

"It's clearly ......"

"What is it? Ignoring the laws of the land or failing to lead by example? But I remember that you also interceded with them at that time. I still remember that, according to the law of the moon, it was a capital crime for you to kidnap me in the first place, but who asked you about your sin? Finally, according to the law of the moon, it is very unreasonable to have an amnesty for the world, right? What qualifications do you have to say this? Do you have the law of the moon in your own eyes? You yourself are a person who acts only by heart, aren't you?"

"I ...... How so?"

Yue Luoning stared straight into his eyes, as if to peek into the depths of his heart: "You have obviously violated so many moon laws, but you can still feel 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. Could he have said that, because he thought those things were right?

He had 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 peace.

"Haven't you noticed it yet? Although you are in the court, you are still the heart of the people of the rivers and lakes. You don't have any national law in your eyes, do you? Your strength is too strong, and the law has no binding force on you, so how can you be in awe? What you obey is not the law, but morality. If you feel morally justified, you will have a clear conscience. ”

Lin Si was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "You are right, it turns out that I don't know myself as well as you." Yes, I am only following morality. ”

"Actually, you are already better than the vast majority of cultivators in the world. At the very least, you can still take the initiative to restrain yourself morally. Morality is less stringent than the law in some places, but there are many places where the law is not required, but morality is more stringent. ”

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 can't let go of that tragedy.

By now, he himself has discovered that he and Yue Luoning's argument about the concept today may not be able to convince the other party.

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

"I can't say it. Yue Luoning replied with a calm face.

"But you did it anyway, and you still don't think you've done it wrong. ”

"Because I am not moral. ”

"Ha, you're such a bad person! How can a person like you be so upright all the time?"

"Our father is a good king to the people, did he obey morality? He killed his fourth brother, do you think that is moral?"

Lin Si's face changed: "Do you want to follow him, can't you?" I'm starting to worry about Second Brother Ye and Xiaoying Bingyun now!"

"I didn't think about it that way, that friendship was so precious to me. ”

Lin Siyu glanced at her: "I hope your words are true." ”

"Heh, then I want to ask you, if one day, Yin Li led the people of Tianhe to send troops to the Moon Country and kill the people of the Moon Country, would you kill her? At that time, would you think about the interests of the people of the Moon Country, or would you fulfill the morality between you and her, and stand by?"

"She wouldn't do that. ”

"I'm just saying what if. ”

"I would persuade her to give up. ”

"What if you can't be persuaded to do so?"

"I'm going to push her away. ”

"Heh, it's agreed to quit at the same time, right?"

"You...... How could he know?" Lin Si was surprised, he simply doubted that Yue Luoning would be able to 'read minds'.

Sure enough, at that time you will only run away and think about fulfilling your own morality. If I were you, I would have tried to kill her then!"

"You don't understand the friendship between me and her, she and I won't be enemies at all, she won't show up on the other side. Your assumptions simply don't arise. ”

"Because she is also a moral person, right? For your sake, 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 can you know her so well? You and she shouldn't know each other at all, right?"

"Yin Li is such a powerful person and has a deep relationship with you, how can I not explore? What's more, I don't need to know her well at all, because I know that if you were her, you would do that. No matter what she does, you won't be willing to kill her. ”

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

"But I am the king of the moon, if I don't even protect my own country, don't avenge my people, but only think about the morality of friends, then what kind of moon king am I? If a king is obsessed with morality, then he will not be a good king at all. ”

"Your assumptions don't come up, so it's pointless. My friend, you won't deal with the Moon Country, so your so-called moral and Moon Kingdom dilemma will not happen at all. ”

"Really? Then tell me, when your father was alive, why didn't you want to attack Qingchuan in Southern Qi? Because of morality? At that time, you felt that aggression was not moral, didn't you? But in the end, what did you get? When you are strong, you don't fight others, and when you are weak, others can't wait to pounce, don't you? Even if you beat them now, it's only because they beat you, and you are taking revenge, so you think it's morally justified, right?"

"Yes......"

"Then let me ask you, when you guard your morality, where do you put the country and the people behind you? You only think that you have a clear conscience alone, but have you ever thought about how many people's decisions your position represents? When a king binds himself with morality, he actually binds the entire Moon Kingdom with morality in disguise, isn't it? Fulfill your morality alone, but sacrifice the interests of countless people in the Moon Kingdom, ha, how capricious is this?"

"I ...... I didn't think about it that much, that's not what I wanted. ”

"But in fact, do you still think that a moral king is a good thing for the country and countless people behind him?

"You're right, that's right. What does it take to be a good king?"

"It's simple, follow the interests. If it is in the interests of the Moon Country and the interests of the majority of the people in the Moon Country, it must be done. Whether I am a robber or a butcher, whether I rob or rebel, no matter whether my methods are glorious or not, as long as I can bring benefits to this country, I will do it! I will not be bound by anything, regardless of the infamy and outside world criticism behind him? Only in this way can the Moon Kingdom gain more and make the majority of the people live a better life. ”

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

Her existence will allow the Moon Kingdom to develop wantonly without any constraints. As for himself, he will use many things to restrain the Moon Country.

He finally shook his head: "However, no matter how much you pursue interests, you also need to have a bottom line." In any case, I will never be able to accept the incident of Shuangzeji. Sacrificing a small number of innocent people to accomplish the so-called overall situation, I will not agree with it under any circumstances. At the very least, I don't want to see you do anything to your own people again. ”

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

Then even if he doesn't kill himself and doesn't turn against himself, he will turn his back on himself, right?

Her tone finally stopped being so intense, but softened: "If it wasn't necessary, how could I kill the people of my own country? ”

"It's not necessary to talk about the Shuangzeji incident, even if you really want to set up a situation, you can inform me before the Shuangzeji incident happens. On the premise of saving their lives, I will let He Yu and the others ruin their reputation. What's more, there is never any need to kill innocent people!"

"I see. Yue Luoning nodded.

Lin Si didn't know if Yue Luoning was perfunctory or if he really made a promise. However, he also knew that this was the limit of concessions that Yue Luoning could express. (To be continued.) )
