Long Feiyu slowly said, ”Since everything is related to father and mother, the parties involved in the marriage naturally do not know much! But did Your Excellency ever know what it was like for a woman to be forced to marry a strange man? Do you know what it's like for a man to be forced to marry a woman he doesn't know and who has only been introduced to him by a matchmaker? You may say that if a man does not like this wife, he may take another concubine. It's normal for you to think that way, because you're a man! But where do you put these women? Are they just tools for you to vent, tools for you to have children? They had their own feelings. They were also people, and they also had people they liked. They also wish to lie in the arms of their loved one and not endure the tooth invading Hubby that the other one didn't even have a good impression of, which could only be considered a nominal Hubby! ”
The old man was stunned. ”It's customary for males to be inferior to females …” Suddenly, he remembered that the young miss was still by his side, so he quickly stopped talking. His face was filled with slight affection.
Long Feiyu sighed: ”Love is originally a matter between two people, living is also a matter between two people, yet we have to involve both parents, it is really strange, truly loving a person without daring to say, cannot be combined. It's a sad thing to spend your whole life with strangers. The men here have three wives and four concubines, and they look glorious, but all you get is a woman's body, and you don't get the most precious feelings. Wives and concubines may be afraid of you, but they might not love you. This situation was the sorrow of these infatuated men and women. ”It is even more so the sorrow of this country!”
The old man was a bit confused as well. ”The rules of etiquette …”
Long Feiyu interrupted him and asked, ”Don't mention what the courtesy method is, I just want to ask you: What is the purpose of the etiquette method?”
The old man did not understand. ”Rites are rules. What's the point?”
Long Feiyu lamented, ”Everyone obeys the golden laws, but no one knows why! I can tell you that no matter what the law is, the purpose is to make the people here happy, happy, peaceful life, the law is the same, but why is it that these rules, which are clearly harmful to the people and cause countless lovers to cry, are so tenaciously in existence? All you can do is watch the tragedy unfold day by day as if you were just watching a play. You have never thought of gaining any insights from the rules and regulations of the law of etiquette. ”
With these words, everyone was shocked. How could this person be so bold? To publicly criticize the laws of the imperial court? But he spoke with such compassion and with such sincerity that everyone was moved by the sincerity in his words. No one reprimanded him.
The lady said with a slightly intimidated tone, ”Young Master's words are indeed reasonable, but how can the ancestors of the Law set it up so easily?”
Long Feiyu sighed, ”Is something that our ancestors set down right? Even though their ancestors were human, they would make mistakes!
If there was a mistake, why couldn't it be changed? Maybe in a certain era, this kind of thing will truly help our country stabilize, but don't forget, times can improve, knowledge needs to keep improving, your ancestors also came from the most primitive state, 'Human Emperor', how much did you change from the things that your first ancestors created for you? Have you ever asked 'Human Emperor' why do you want to change it? If he hadn't changed his love for these things, I can say that you would have been poorer and more backward, absolutely not as prosperous as you are today! Poor change, change, rule, for a long time! This is the Eternal Iron Law! ”
The old man said with emotion: ”The Human Emperor is the monarch of the phoenix cloud. He is a wise man of great martial prowess, and the prosperity today is all thanks to him! He was also the first to set the etiquette rules! ”
Long Feiyu stared at him: ”I admit that 'Human Emperor' does have some skills, I admire him myself, but he is not an immortal either, he would still make mistakes!”
The girl scolded him angrily, ”How dare you! You cannot be disrespectful to Flame Emperor! ” There was no one in the Phoenixcloud who did not respect the 'Human Emperor'!
Long Feiyu sighed: ”There is no reason why I don't respect him. I admire his great talents, and also admire everything he does for the citizens of this place. Everything in this country, you all think it's normal, and the prosperity of this country, you all also think it's normal. Satisfied! That's why you all think that 'Human Emperor' is right, right? ”
