Zheng Qian quietly listened as Zhao Yao explained his understanding of "Benevolent Governance." "Master, do you think ruling the world solely by benevolence is enough?" he asked in return. "Do you think the Emperor relies solely on benevolent governance? Why doesn't the Emperor use 'benevolence' to deal with those aristocratic families?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yao was silent for a moment, then said: "Ruling the world solely by 'benevolence' is not enough."
Zheng Qian then asked: "Master, besides benevolent governance, what else does the Emperor rely on to rule the world?"
Zhao Yao replied: "Legal governance."
"Master, nowadays the Emperor is not only using Confucianism's 'benevolence' to rule the world but also the School of Legalism's 'law' to govern."
Zhao Yao nodded in agreement with Zheng Qian's statement, "That's true, but what does this have to do with Fourth Brother?"
