After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Yan Shiyan's clear voice rang out: "My son believes that the collective responsibility stipulated in the law is wrong. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and the crime should be borne by the criminal himself."

He looked at Yan Jinyang, and in his beautiful and clear eyes, there were two emotions pulling at each other.

On one side is emotion.

If we were to ask who dotes on Yan Jinyang the most among his brothers and sisters, it would definitely be him.

Not to mention just taking the punishment for him, if Yan Jinyang really committed a crime, he would be eager to take his place and show unconditional favoritism.

On one side is reason.

There was a voice in his mind that told him that rules and laws should not be construed for personal gain.

Don't be emotional.

Those who do wrong should take responsibility for their actions. This principle applies to both men and women, young and old, and to relatives or strangers.

And other people should not be held responsible for this person.

In Yan Shiyan's view, taking the blame itself is a crime.

Because in that case, the person who should have taken responsibility would escape punishment, and he would take chances and continue to make mistakes next time.

There is no way to really make him reform.

These were ideas that he came up with after he learned to read and learnt from reading books, as well as because of the hardships he experienced in his childhood.

The destiny given to him in the original book still worked, making him more interested in the law than any other book.

He read not only the laws of his own dynasty, but also those of previous dynasties.

Perhaps because he grew up in a very closed environment and was unable to have normal social activities, Yan Shiyan has his own set of ideological principles.

He has not been educated by the current society and has formed his own independent values, world views and outlook on life which are not easily shaken.

For example, he thought that "collective punishment" was wrong and said it out loud.

Don't care at all about what others think.

However, in feudal dynasties, "collective responsibility" was the most effective method for rulers.

Just like before, the village they encountered in the hot spring villa was relocated because there was a deserter in the village, which resulted in everyone in the village being implicated.

There is also a recommendation system for becoming an official.

If something goes wrong with the recommended person, the recommender can be held accountable.

Confiscation of property is a serious crime, and if one person commits it, the entire family will suffer.

Everyone is not only responsible for his own actions, but also for the family and friends around him.

Use strict collective punishment to intimidate everyone.

A mechanism of mutual supervision was formed, and a chain of suspicion was born.

Qin Yaoguang knew the disadvantages of collective punishment, but she was surprised that Yan Shiyan could see the truth behind it at such a young age.

How many thoughts does Shi Yan have that she doesn't know about?

Compared to her joy, Yan Changqing was more frightened.

Yan Shiyan's words go straight to the root of the law.

To put it in a broader sense, it is a challenge to the entire imperial court.

If it is heard by someone with ulterior motives and spreads it with exaggeration, it may cause disaster.

After all, both his and the eldest princess' identities are so sensitive.

It's okay for them to do something extraordinary themselves.

Whether it was Qin Yaoguang's use of tough measures to have people check the accounts at Taifu Temple, or his having people surround Xue's residence, it seemed easy to cause trouble, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing wrong.

Questioning the law is different.

Who would believe that such words came from the mouth of a teenager?

If someone incites, it is very likely that the eldest princess will be charged with lawlessness.

"Shi Yan," Yan Changqing said with a serious look, "Remember, you didn't say this today."

Yan Shiyan was not convinced.

He had never approved of this father, whose presence had become particularly strong in recent days.

The candlelight fell on his beautiful brow arch and swayed in his eyes.

"Did I say something wrong?"

He asked loudly, with a somewhat aggressive tone.

Qin Yaoguang also understood at this time, and she looked at Yan Shiyan with pity.

Having a vision that transcends the times means you are destined to suffer more injustice and grievances.

"Brother Yan, come here."

She waved at Yan Shiyan.

Yan Shiyan was slightly stunned and pursed his lips a little aggrieved.

Could it be that the mother also felt that what she said was wrong?

But this doesn't make sense. Why should others pay the price for a person's mistake when he does something wrong?

However, when facing his mother, he put away his spikes and walked up to her obediently.

There are shallow ripples in the lowered eyes.

The child feels wronged.

Yan Shiyan's silence in his grievance made Qin Yaoguang heartbroken.

If she hadn't been concerned about his age, Qin Yaoguang would have just wanted to hold him in her arms and give him a big hug.

Unfortunately, no.

There was no other way, so Qin Yaoguang had to look him in the eye and said seriously: "Kid, you are right..."

It's this era that's wrong.

However, it is obvious that this sentence cannot be said just like that.

The words took a turn in her mouth, and she said: "In this world, there is no absolute right or wrong."

Looking at the most paranoid boy in the original book, Qin Yaoguang wanted to take this opportunity to have a good communication with him.

Although it was Yan Jinyang's fault that needed to be dealt with, since the children were all there, it wouldn't be a big problem for her to go off the track.

She wanted to teach Yan Shiyan to look at things from a different perspective.

If you change your stance and perspective, your life will become more open and you will no longer be stuck in a rut.

It would be even better if you could teach him empathy.

After thinking for a while, Qin Yaoguang said to Yan Changqing: "Lend me your weapon."

?

A question mark slowly appeared above Yan Changqing's head.

He was clearly wearing a casual robe, so how did Madam know that he had a weapon with him?

Qin Yaoguang looked at him with a smile and spread out a jade-white palm.

How could she not know?

Yan Changqing is the most insecure person.

Or it can be understood that he is extremely cruel to himself and will not even allow himself to die before his revenge is successful.

How could a person who even puts a dagger under his pillow when he sleeps not have a weapon?

She didn't believe it.

Facing her gaze, Yan Changqing was defeated.

He bent down, pulled out an inconspicuous fish-scale dagger from his boot, and handed it to Qin Yaoguang with both hands.

"Your Highness, be careful, it's very sharp."

Yan Changqing reminded her.

Compared with his status as a prince, this dagger seems particularly plain and simple, and is a murderous weapon.

The fish-scale pattern on the blade glowed with a cold light, and the blood groove on the back of the blade indicated its enormous lethality.

When Yan Shouzhuo saw the dagger, his eyes suddenly lit up.

People who practice martial arts would be delighted when faced with such a good weapon.

Qin Yaoguang was not afraid at all. She held the dagger in front of Yan Shiyan and asked, "Do you think this dagger is right or wrong?"

Yan Shiyan's delicate little face was almost wrinkled into a bun, and he couldn't understand the real meaning of her question.

Qin Yaoguang smiled secretly in her heart and cleared her throat.

My child, today I will let you know what the dialectical materialistic philosophy is.
