Chu Yang's strength was much stronger than Tie Butian's. How could Tie Butian resist? She was actually dragged by him and stumbled all the way.
After taking seven or eight steps, Tie Butian suddenly shook off Chu Yang's hand and stood there motionless.
Chu Yang turned back in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tie Butian stood there, her body trembling slightly. Looking at Chu Yang, she asked in a low voice, "Brother Chu, have you … found out about something?"
Chu Yang asked in puzzlement, "What can I know? Which aspect are you talking about? "
Tie Butian's sharp gaze looked at Chu Yang's face. After a long while, she said, "Your sudden arrival this time makes me feel very strange."
Chu Yang said with a half-smile, "Strange? What's strange? "
Tie Butian wanted to say something but hesitated. She said, "It's a feeling. It's indescribably strange."
Chu Yang burst into laughter. "I say, you're obviously a man but you're actually playing around with feelings … This is really hahaha …"
Tie Butian relaxed. Looking at Chu Yang's overjoyed expression, she also smiled.
"Brother Tie, how does it feel to rule the world and be an emperor?" Chu Yang narrowed his eyes. "All the land in the world belongs to the emperor. All the people on the shores of the land are the emperor's subjects. Very satisfying, right?"
Tie Butian smiled, fatigue in her eyes. However, she sighed deeply.
Chu Yang's eyes flashed and he asked tentatively, "Are you very tired?"
Tie Butian sighed softly again. Finally, she said, "Tired? Satisfying? Hurhur, Brother Chu, you don't know. Being an emperor may look glorious, but it's actually the most boring and boring job. Moreover, it's exhausting and exhausting, but in the end, it's just a lonely job. It's really hard to explain. "
Chu Yang's eyes flashed again. He asked, "Is it that tiring? Is it that boring? "
Tie Butian's eyes were deep. She said, "When I was the emperor, there were still people who told me jokes every day. There were also a few people close to me. When I became the emperor, there were fewer. However, there were still a few friends who dared to say a few sincere words in front of me. They said, 'But, when I became the emperor …' "
She smiled bitterly. "You know what? Every day, I have to face a group of swindlers with the highest IQ in the world. Every day, I have to rack my brain to distinguish which sentence is true, which sentence is false, and which sentence is to frame Bie Can. This feeling is really hard to describe. "
Chu Yang said dully, "Cheat?"
"Not bad." Tie Butian nodded indifferently and said, "All the military officials in the golden palace, no matter which one of them is, are definitely first-rate swindlers! Every day, I have to face so many lies. Every day, these lies will make up different lies to deceive me. One came suddenly, and the other came to flatter him, but they all had their own motives behind it. Some of them are doing it for the public. That's still fine. But, most of them are doing it for personal reasons. They're like flies and dogs. It's extremely chaotic. Every one of them looks righteous on the surface, but when they turn around, everyone's buttocks are dirty. "
"As a subject, I have to figure out the intentions of my superior all the time. But as a monarch, I have to figure out these subjects all the time. It's easy for hundreds of people to figure out one person, but it's extremely difficult for one person to figure out hundreds of people. "
Tie Butian sighed softly. "Brother Chu, you're not an outsider. I'll also tell you the truth. Among the hundreds of officials in the golden palace, if you really investigate and find out the truth … other than me, there are definitely no more than five people who can still stand in the golden palace without their heads falling to the ground!"
This time, Chu Yang was really shocked. "There are so many?"
Tie Butian nodded tiredly and smiled bitterly. "Iron Cloud Nation is fighting corruption every day and punishing corrupt officials every day. But as a monarch, I have to work with corrupt officials every day. I discuss national affairs with them and let them carry out national policies and laws … Brother Chu, isn't this very ironic?"
Chu Yang was silent.
"Some people say, 'Being an official for a thousand miles is only for money!' Some people say, 'Three years of being a magistrate and a hundred thousand silver.' Some people say, 'When a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs rise to the heavens.' Some people say, 'One day, when power is in hand, revenge will be avenged.' There are even people who say, 'Why not study hard for ten years, just for the sake of passing the imperial examinations and riches?' "
Tie Butian smiled bitterly. "Scholars all have such goals in mind when they study. What will happen when they become officials? This is really something that I don't even dare to think about! But I have to face these things that I don't even dare to think about every day! "
"Brother Chu, do you think I'm tired or happy?" Or happiness? "Tie Butian asked with a smile.
Chu Yang sighed softly. "I really don't know what to say."
Tie Butian laughed. "For example, in the golden palace, it's fine if it's just the corrupt officials. But they're all ganging up on each other and attacking each other. They're kicking people when they're down and making groundless accusations. They're making oblique accusations and setting traps for each other … "
"And I, the high and mighty Emperor, am the greatest weapon that the officials can use!" Tie Butian smiled and said, "Actually, in your humble servant's eyes, a ruler is not a person but a sword. It is a kind of absolute power. Whoever makes good use of it will be able to rise in rank and make a fortune. Furthermore, he will be able to kill the person he dislikes the most! Therefore, everyone is sparing no effort to make use of the Emperor! "
"And they have to put on an expression of unparalleled loyalty and patriotism!"
Tie Butian looked at Chu Yang with some admiration. "I'm still alright. But if it were you, Minister Chu, in this position, with your temper and your stubbornness, I'm afraid that within a few days, all the officials in the golden palace would have been killed by you."
Chu Yang laughed out loud and nodded, "This is indeed possible."
Tie Butian said, "In history, there are very few wise Emperors and many fatuous ones. But every wise Emperor is miserable. Fatuous Emperors are fatuous Emperors because firstly, they were too restrained when they were young. But the biggest reason is, of course, these people in the imperial court. Who would be willing to face such a group of disgusting liars every day?"
"Every monarch, even if he later becomes infinitely muddle-headed, when he ascends the throne, he wants to be a wise monarch. This is undeniable! Most fatuous Emperors are sexual lovers … and sexual lovers can't be Emperors. "
Tie Butian said dispassionately and sighed again.
"That's right." Chu Yang agreed and said, "For example, prostitutes. Every prostitute was once a good and innocent woman …"
Tie Butian's face darkened at once.
For a moment, she wished she could give him a good kick.
You're talking so seriously about national affairs, such a heavy topic, such a gloomy state of mind, and you're actually talking about prostitutes?
This is simply intolerable!
"Minister Chu, you must have been wandering around outside during this period of time, right?" Tie Butian grinned. "Looking at Minister Chu, you seem to be very knowledgeable."
Tie Butian smiled very amiably, as if saying, 'We're all men, we all know.' But when Chu Yang heard it, he felt a chill run down his spine and a cold wind blow at the back of his head.
Especially that sentence 'seem to be very knowledgeable', it felt as if he was going to die.
"In front of Brother Tie, I'm not afraid of embarrassing myself." Chu Yang coughed and put on a sincere look. "To be honest, Your Majesty, I'm ashamed! Other than being detoxified by that Little Tian Tian back then, I'm still a virgin. "
Tie Butian's heart skipped a beat at once. When she heard 'detoxified by that Little Tian Tian', she couldn't help but burn all over.
She coughed dryly, feeling her mouth dry and her head dizzy. She forced herself to calm down and laughed dryly. "In that case, Minister Chu has actually been keeping his chastity?"
Chu Yang also coughed dryly and said, "Yes, I've always been a bachelor."
Tie Butian laughed dryly and didn't say anything else. In reality, she didn't know what to say now. But she felt an inexplicable sweetness in her heart.
"It's really unbearable to hold it in."
However, Chu Yang heaved a long sigh as if he was a ghost. Tie Butian blushed instantly.
The two of them talked as they walked. When they saw that they were already close to the bedchamber, Chu Yang said intentionally or unintentionally, "Your Majesty, being an Emperor … isn't a good thing either. It's really better to travel the world with one or two close friends without any worries and live a carefree life."
There was a look of longing in Tie Butian's eyes, but she shook her head with a wry smile. "Brother Chu, it's easy for you to say, but how difficult is it to do? How can I bear to abandon these billions of people? This is the legacy of our ancestors, the struggles of dozens of generations, the dreams of thousands of years … "Hurhur, … Which one of them isn't like a huge mountain pressing down on my heart?"
She was silent for a while and finally sighed. "I can't abandon them, I can't abandon them … If I really leave this life, how can my conscience be at ease?"
Chu Yang sighed heavily. This time, he was really silent.
This was the reason why he didn't dare to reveal it all along. A sovereign of a generation! The only successor!
All the lives of the world, the legacy of our ancestors, the hardships of the people, the chaos of war — all of them needed a wise sovereign like Tie Butian!
If he took her away and tucked her into his bed, then … Not to mention whether Tie Butian was willing or not, even if the world was willing, would they be willing? What should he do?
He had absolute martial power, but he could kill thousands of people, but could he kill billions of people at once?
Once there was no longer a wise sovereign to suppress them, how many ambitious people would there be in the world? No matter how high his cultivation was, he wouldn't be able to curb the greed and ambition that grew in people's hearts like weeds!
When that time came, there would definitely be wars and wars everywhere. Could it be that he would ignore the people of the world just because of his own selfishness?
But if he cared about all these, could he just abandon their mother in the Lower Three Heavens? While he himself commanded the wind and clouds in the Upper Three Heavens, living a carefree and happy life?
Then, was he still human?
Tie Butian's face became redder and redder all the way to the bedroom. Her heart beat faster and faster, and her emotions became more and more flustered.
How could she stop her good friend from wanting to see the child? She couldn't, no matter what.
But once he saw the child, would Chu Yang recognize him? Would he suspect anything?
But she had already come all the way here, and the arrow was already nocked on the bow.
Chu Yang was also very agitated. His heart beat faster and faster, and his face became redder and redder. His eyes were almost shining, and for a moment, his breathing became rapid.
His child!
His son!
