"My ancestors were once a great clan in the pugilistic world. Back then, the Tie Clan of the Eastern Mountain was also a force to be reckoned with before they entered the imperial court." Tie Butian didn't look back at all. He continued slowly, "However, once a faction in the pugilistic world becomes the master of the imperial court, then it will have to abide by the rules of the imperial court. The pugilistic world's methods may be able to govern a clan or a group of people, but it cannot govern a country. This is the limitation of the pugilistic world."
"Therefore, when it comes to this point, it is inevitable to give up some things in exchange for some things. And those things that are given up are often … meritorious ministers! The pugilistic world is the pugilistic world of brothers, while the imperial court is the imperial court of the emperor and his subjects! If a subject treats the emperor as a brother, then he will definitely be purged by his brother! Since ancient times, when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hound is cooked; when the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the war is over, the cavalry is gone; when the emperor and his subjects rise, the brothers perish! "
"This saying is rather heartless, but it is necessary! Those who sigh that the hound is cooked after the cunning rabbit is dead are all losers. The so-called emperor, after giving up all these, still has to bear the infamy of the ages. Only when he can bear all these, then he is qualified to be an emperor! Governing a country cannot be based on feelings or brothers, it must be based on methods and laws. This is the biggest conflict between the imperial court and the pugilistic world! "
Chu Yang frowned. He pondered over these words with a heavy heart, guessing what Tie Butian meant by these words.
"Therefore, the emperor is heartless!" Tie Butian concluded. "Because if the emperor is sentimental, then he cannot govern the country well. Everyone knows how valuable and reliable a brother is. But when a brother becomes arrogant because of the emperor's favor, even if he knows that this brother is still loyal to him, he can only bear the pain and get rid of him. He can only cry silently in his dreams at night, or face the torrential infamy of the world when he is awake! "
"Using such a price in exchange for political stability and world peace!"
Tie Butian turned back and looked at Chu Yang. "Mister Chu has no intention of joining the imperial court. The reason why Mister Chu has come to Iron Cloud is to use the identity of a pugilistic man to borrow the power of Iron Cloud to overthrow Diwu Qingrou!"
Tie Butian said deeply, "This is Mister Chu's main purpose in coming to Iron Cloud!"
"Mister Chu does not want to be Butian's minister, but to work with Butian. What Mending the Heavens couldn't do, Mr. Chu will do it in the martial world. This is Mr. Chu's method, method, and thought! "
"The reason is that Mr. Chu has the pride of a Jianghu man! This kind of arrogance would not let Mr. Chu be willing to submit to anyone! I am even more unwilling to be ordered around by others. "
He smiled with a hint of sadness and asked slowly, "Mr. Chu, I wonder if Bu Tian is right?"
Chu Yang was horrified. Looking at Tie Butian's eyes, which were so clear that they didn't seem to contain any impurities, his heart was shaken. This Tie Butian had actually figured out his thoughts during the first conversation between the two of them.
Chu Yang's evaluation of this Grand Elder Bu Tian immediately rose to a whole new level due to his ingenuity!
"You're right." Chu Yang's eyes were half-closed as he said lightly, "That's exactly what I meant."
"Haha …" Tie Butian smiled bitterly. After a while, he said, "Today is the first time I have met Mr. Chu, and I want to make this clear. Because if Mr. Chu does things with this mentality, there will be conflicts between us. And this conflict is the conflict between the imperial court and Jianghu. It cannot be reconciled. "
"You worry too much." Chu Yang said casually, "What the Grand Supreme is worried about is the conflict after the world is at peace. However, I have no interest in the power of the imperial court. Once Diwu Qing Rou is defeated, from that moment on, the Grand Supreme will never see me again!"
"I know, I know that Mr. Chu will definitely make this choice!" Tie Butian sighed deeply, "But I also know that when that time comes, there are countless places and links in Iron Cloud that cannot be separated from Mr. Chu! Once Mr. Chu leaves, it will cause uncontrollable turmoil in Iron Cloud Nation! "
"Your Highness, may I ask how old you are this year?" Chu Yang asked.
"I have wasted ten years." Tie Butian's eyes were filled with melancholy and disappointment.
"You are too immersed in politics and the art of the emperor." Chu Yang said coldly, "Everything is measured by the imperial court. Everything is decided by the mind. Everything is decided by the interests of the people. Everything is judged by the big picture. This is too tiring. It is also unnecessary! "
"There are so many things to consider, but there is one thing that should be considered the most, but there is not enough consideration. That is life and death, victory and defeat!" Chu Yang coldly said, "Right now, Iron Cloud Nation is like a candle in the wind, on the verge of collapse. Great Zhao is ten times stronger than Iron Cloud! Great Zhao's ten dragon and tiger generals are all great commanders. Diwu Qing Rou is even more powerful in Great Zhao. His mind is as cold as ice, overlooking the world and playing this game of chess as he pleases! "
"Iron Cloud could be destroyed at any time. The lives of millions of people are only a matter of time. In the face of such a huge crisis, Grand Elder is thinking about politics after the world is at peace … "Chu Yang sneered," I don't know where Grand Elder gets such great confidence, or perhaps arrogance! But if Grand Elder holds on to this belief and confronts Diwu Qing Rou, then I, Chu Yang, might as well live in seclusion. Out of sight, out of mind. "
Tie Butian's expression changed and he looked deeply at Chu Yang. Suddenly, he bowed to the ground and said, "Mister Chu is right. Butian has learned. Now is indeed not the time to think about these things. "
After meeting, the two of them had already had a verbal contest.
From the looks of it, Chu Yang had the upper hand.
Tie Butian's words were to dispel Chu Yang's original beliefs and make Chu Yang willing to be a subject. Although what he said was true, it was still too serious and biased.
But Chu Yang's counterattack clearly expressed that his decision was not to be changed. Moreover, it pointed out that Tie Butian's mentality was wrong. What he said was naturally too exaggerated. Even without Tie Butian's rebuttal, Chu Yang himself knew that Tie Butian had been struggling to survive under Diwu Qing Rou's pressure. How could he not consider life, death, victory, and defeat?
Tie Butian was probably thinking about it every day, every hour, every moment.
Therefore, Chu Yang's counterattack was only using a loophole in his words. It wasn't that Tie Butian really thought that way.
Tie Butian used the overall situation of the world to pressure Chu Yang, and Chu Yang used Diwu Qing Rou to intimidate him, using the lives of millions of people of Iron Cloud Nation to pressure him.
Both of them went overboard with their words, but they both understood each other's true intentions. Yet, neither of them said it directly. Because it would be too sharp. Tie Butian couldn't afford to lose, and similarly, Chu Yang couldn't break off relations. Between the two of them, a delicate situation had formed.
Pressing back and forth, Tie Butian's last sentence showed weakness and ended the prelude to this battle of words. It meant that Tie Butian would no longer work on this aspect today.
"Senior Chu's words are indeed sharp." Tie Butian smiled.
"The Supreme Highness is also advancing step by step." Chu Yang also smiled.
"Senior Chu, you have spent a lot of effort on this journey. First, you showed yourself, and with the momentum of a thunderbolt and lightning, shook Butian's heart and made me want to recruit you. Then, with the help of Divine Doctor Du along the way, you made use of Butian's weakness of being thirsty for talent to further arouse my urgency! "
