10. Summary of thesis results:

Han Fei is a famous thinker in human history. The ideas that Han Fei mentioned in his doctrine 2,300 years ago have proven to still be valid. One of them is the idea about the relationship between king and mandarin.

The relationship between the king and the mandarin, according to Han Fei, is a relationship governed by interests. In this relationship, the king and the mandarin are like two people on two fronts fighting each other to gain benefits for themselves. The king uses tools such as: Law, power, tricks to rule the mandarin, protect his position and interests, while the mandarin also finds every way to gain benefits, ready to kill the king when there is an opportunity.

Regarding the thought on the relationship between king and mandarin, we see that besides the values, this thought of Han Phi still has some limitations. However, if we put aside the limitations, we can absorb and inherit the values ​​in Han Phi's thought on the relationship between king and mandarin in the current process of building and developing the country.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

Han Fei is a famous philosophiser in the human history. It has been proven that ideas stated in his philosophy 2,300 years ago are still valuable. One of them is the thought of the relationship between the King and imperial officials.

According to Han Fei, the relationship between the king and imperial officials is governed by benefits; whereby the king and imperial officials are in two different fronts to fight each other for their own benefits. The King uses such tools as: laws, authorities and strategies to regulate imperial officials as well as protect his own interests while imperial officials attempt to obtain benefits and are ready to kill the king when the chances come.

Han Fei's thoughts on the relationship between the king and imperial officials, apart from its values, still remain some limitations. However, regardless of these limitations, lots of values ​​in these thoughts on the relationship between the king and imperial officials can be grasped and inherited in the construction and development of the country nowadays.
