Zhao Yunlan is thinking of the people as individuals: They deserve to know what's happening and not to be lied to. He knows what it feels like to have important information withheld. Minister Gao is thinking in terms of crowd control: He knows the danger of large-scale panic and doesn't want to risk it. It's a valid concern!
All true! But also, Zhao Yunlan isn't not considering crowd control. He says he thinks it's inevitable that it'll get out, so he wants them to disclose it themselves and control the narrative, rather than leaving that to their enemies.
Chains Chains ChaINNs!
I think I may be the only fan in the fandom for whom a chained Shen Wei doesn't really do anything? *g*
Totally agreed that the whole Dixing sequence is excellent, though. Fight scenes, tension, a confrontation between the brothers! And everything going wrong for Shen Wei - but we know he has a contingency plan ...
Many people who should theoretically know better still believe sensationalist outrage-inducing crap after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
