Features: The king is the highest official in the state, and the law of the king can also be called "the law determined by the highest official." Therefore, the king is greater than the law. Officials are often like local emperors in a place, so a lawsuit can also be called "a lawsuit managed by the local emperor." Clearly, officials are greater than the law. Both the king and officials are subjects of power, so the law of the king and the lawsuit share a completely identical point: power is greater than the law, and the law is subordinate to power.
