They're insidious, you know. It's not that I think him either of those things - the last thing Chang Geng is is spineless.

Smart. Now to you, it is a test of loyalty that will result in your feelings being hurt if he defies you, whereas to him it is an unfair decree that makes him more likely to do it.
I didn't exactly have a choice! I'm a filial son of my nation! If the Emperor asks you to jump, you say how high, especially if it's to your face! I'm just saying, it's a cautionary tale
Besides, if you really want to think about it, Molly's two. So

Apologize, I suppose?
Ugh
