"I thought that he regretted it, but only later did I know that he wasn't." Tie Butian's voice was very soft, as if she was sleep-talking. "At that time, I didn't understand. Since he had killed Mother and my sisters, why was he crying? It's unbearable! Serves you right! "
"Even now, I still hate him! But after so many years, especially when I gradually became more sensible, I realized that I couldn't hate him anymore. "Tie Butian kept her hands behind her back, letting the tears slowly flow down her face. Her eyes were complicated.
"It was only in recent years that I realized how much pain Father had to suffer. As a father, he had to endure so much. As a man, he had to endure so much. And as a ruler, he had to endure … even more! "
Tie Butian took a deep breath. "And I had to learn things under Second Uncle's high pressure. Countless times, I had to learn until I broke down and cried out loud. Then, Second Uncle would use his whip and fist to wake me up time and time again … Later on, not only did I have to learn things, but I also had to learn scheming, tactics, martial arts and the mind of a ruler. Second Uncle engraved the words that Imperial Father told me back then on my desk, hung it in my bedroom, and placed it everywhere I went. Before every meal, I had to recite these words … "
"Second Uncle fought on the battlefield, strategized and won battles from a thousand miles away. He held the political and military power of the whole country. At that time, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to talk to me. But every day, he would ask my teachers what they had learned that day. Then, what awaited me was a fierce beating, as if he would never be satisfied …"
"Finally, I didn't dare to be lazy." Tie Butian's throat made a gurgling sound, as if she was swallowing something. "I hated Father, I hated Second Uncle. But one day, I saw Second Uncle using the juice of the Black Demon Flower to dye his hair. At that time, Second Uncle was only 32 years old. Second Uncle was famous for his handsome looks in the whole of Iron Cloud. But ever since Father fell ill, Second Uncle's white hair began to grow out strand by strand. In the end, there were more strands than black hair. Second Uncle had to dye his hair every once in a while."
"At that time, I despised him. Why would an old man dye his hair black? But it was only later that I found out that Second Uncle was the pillar of the whole Iron Cloud Nation when Father fell ill and I was young! His health was Iron Cloud Nation's greatest hope! If the soldiers find out that he has a head full of white hair, the blow to their morale will be unparalleled! "
"Every day, Second Uncle is full of vigor on the battlefield and the drill ground. When he walks, he raises the wind. When he shouts, he can make hundreds of thousands of soldiers tremble in fear. But every night, when he comes home, he can't even lift his feet! Even speaking was strenuous, and his hands and feet were trembling when he was eating … He was a Revered Martial Artist at that time! Yet, I'm so tired every day … "
"After I finally understood the pain and hardships of Father Emperor and Second Uncle, I began to wholeheartedly immerse myself in learning. Every time Second Uncle and Diwu Qing Rou fought a battle, they would come back and rehearse dozens of times with me! Finally, three years ago, I began to take control of the military and political affairs, and began my true career as an eunuch. At that time, I realized that before this, all the decisions were made by Second Uncle in my name. The entire Iron Cloud Nation, even the whole world, knew that Iron Cloud had a natural born king! Iron Cloud is full of hope! "
"No one knows how this natural king managed to survive all these years. How can there be a natural born king in this world? The road to becoming a king is so cruel! "Tie Bu Tian's voice became sorrowful and cynical.
"When I first took control of the government, I couldn't control anything well. Second Uncle was like a god, standing in the court every day. Anyone who was dissatisfied or doubted him, he would drag them out and behead them. At that time, Second Uncle was even more tyrannical than a tyrant. But when I truly took control of Iron Cloud, Second Uncle no longer appeared in the court."
"I heard that after he observed me for three months, he went back and said to Second Aunt, 'I am relieved.' Then Second Uncle fell asleep standing up straight. That time, he slept for three days and three nights! Even his family was afraid. "
Tie Bu Tian took a deep breath and exhaled, "Iron Cloud's military and political affairs are finally on the right track. I started to establish Bu Tian Pavilion again and recruited heroes. I hope that someone can help me. I really hope that someone can share some of the burden with me. "
"Iron Cloud's stability, the millions of people living and working in peace and contentment, I don't know how much pain the upper echelons have to endure in exchange!"
"I am too tired! Second Uncle is also too tired! "Tie Bu Tian said indifferently. His voice was very flat, but Chu Yang could hear the deep weariness in his voice.
"Second Uncle recommended you to me." Tie Bu Tian did not turn around. He only said with certainty, "I trust Second Uncle, so I trust you! If you want Bu Tian Pavilion, I can give it to you! But you can only start as a Minister. I cannot directly give you a high position. I believe you understand this. "
"I only need to wait for the day when you can convince the masses. Then, I will give you all the information on Bu Tian Pavilion! If you suspect someone, don't use him. If you use him, don't doubt him. " After Tie Bu Tian finished speaking, he floated away without looking back. He floated on the water. His white figure was like a white cloud in the wind. He flashed a few times, and a few ripples slowly spread on the water's surface. He had already disappeared from Chu Yang's sight.
He did not turn around. He did not want Chu Yang to see the tears on his face …
…
Chu Yang slowly sat down. He was silent for a long time.
He was digesting Tie Bu Tian's words.
Tie Bu Tian's words were very sincere, very honest, and very touching.
Chu Yang had once suspected that Tie Bu Tian's purpose in saying these words was to recruit him to work for him. As a wily old fox who had lived two lives, Chu Yang recalled the 'Dark Soul Poison' that he had inadvertently learned in the Upper Three Heavens in his previous life. He reviewed the entire conversation.
Dark Spirit Poison Bamboo was a strange martial art. It did not have any power, but it could see through every lie! This was a martial art left behind by the Three Stars Divine Clan. It could guarantee that every person who had Dark Soul Poison would not be deceived by anyone.
But under the appraisal of Dark Soul Poison, Chu Yang found that every word Tie Bu Tian said was the truth!
Even though there were too many loopholes in his words and too many incomprehensible things. But things were just so strange. Anyone would be able to see the huge loopholes in Tie Bu Tian's words, but they were one hundred percent true!
For example, why did the Emperor of Iron Cloud kill his beloved wife after being seriously injured? Why did he kill his daughter's entire family? Why did he massacre the imperial palace?
These were all incomprehensible and unreasonable things! But they were the truth!
Chu Yang also did not understand what was going on. Even though he had already experienced history, he still did not know. After all, Tie Bu Tian had died too early in his previous life. He did not have time to explain anything.
These were all filled with layers of fog! Chu Yang could only feel that this was filled with a mountain-like oppression and a deep pain as deep as the sea!
Chu Yang thought for a long time and realized that his brain was still a mess. He simply gave up on continuing to think. The affairs of the Emperor's family were originally unique. It was even more impossible to fathom the thoughts of an Emperor. Especially if it was a baseless guess, there was even less hope.
Chu Yang only knew that Tie Bu Tian had agreed to his request for cooperation.
During this process, Tie Bu Tian did not even bargain. This was, of course, because Tie Bu Tian was open-minded and tolerant. He indeed had the magnanimity of an Emperor and the mentality of a gambler.
