Noble First Daughter-in-law

"His Majesty--"

Sensing what Shang Ruyi was going to say, Chu Yang didn't even allow her to speak, and continued: "Why, after hearing that I said that I was right, do you still want to fabricate my mistakes?!"

"..."

"I know what you are going to say. Do you think I don't know what you are talking about behind my back? You say that I am very happy, and that I work hard for the people and waste money, but which thing I do is not for the sake of this dynasty?"

"..."

"Xijing was the capital of the first emperor, but that place has been controlled by powerful and noble families from Dingchuan all the year round. These people rely on the fact that they have soldiers in their hands, they have meritorious deeds, and they eat vegetarian food all the year round. My government orders cannot be followed. That's why we built the Eastern Capital and put the focus of state affairs on the ground. Move to Luoyang. Only in this way, these talents can not hinder my great cause."

"..."

"Building the canal, I know that you will say that it took a lot of people's energy, but the canal is completed, and the freight from the north to the south is smooth. Isn't that a good thing? This time, it took only a dozen days for Woxue to take you from Luoyang to Jiangdu. Back then, when there was no canal, do you know how long you would have been on the road?"

"..."

"Also, some people did die during my three expeditions to the Gouli country, but so what? Sergeants should have shrouded their bodies in horse leather. If everyone is greedy for life and fears death, who will guard the border for me?"

"..."

"What's more, is it meaningless for me to conquer the Gouli country? Mou Zi follows the wolf's ambition, and has never entered the court or paid tribute. In recent years, he has secretly colluded with Ashina Shali. If they are really allowed to collude with each other, They have become two knives hanging over the head of the Daye Dynasty, and at that time, it is really impossible to deal with it!"

……

The more he talked, the more he breathed, and the more he talked, the redder his eyes became.

On the other hand, Shang Ruyi fell silent.

She still remembered that Chu Yang had said these words to her shortly after the two met, and now, when he said these words again, it was not because he had forgotten that he had said them, but because he needed to say them.

He needs an outlet to vent.

In the end, after saying the last word, he was out of breath, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle. His whole body was tense like a bow that was stretched to the limit and was about to collapse. Shang Ruyi could even feel that his two The hand slowly fell to his shoulder, the palm was wet and cold, and the fingers were tightly clasped, as if to grasp the last straw in life.

This feeling is suffocating.

He asked her, "Where did I go wrong?"

Chu Yang looked down at her, at the little girl whose back was against the heavy palace door, who had nowhere to escape at this moment, but in comparison, with his pale face and disordered breath, he looked more like a A cornered beast on the verge of being cornered.

He kept asking, "Where did I go wrong?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi didn't speak anymore, just quietly looking at the handsome face in front of her.

After struggling for a long time, she finally said, "Your Majesty did nothing wrong."

"...!"

At this moment, like a person who has been walking in the dark for a long time, suddenly seeing a light appearing in front of him, Chu Yang shuddered, and when he looked up at Shang Ruyi's eyes again, the slender phoenix eyes were filled with light. Immediately there was ecstasy, almost overwhelming, almost engulfing everyone in front of him.

He said in a deep voice: "You said——Zhen, that's right!"

"..."

"I was right, right?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at him quietly. Although her body was also cold, her shoulders clasped tightly by his trembling hands were also trembling unconsciously, and even her voice was tinged with some imperceptible tremors.

Her throat was blocked, and she said: "Your Majesty did this, that's right."

There was an ecstatic smile on Chu Yang's face, he raised his head and took a deep breath, his face seemed to be radiant.But when he was about to say something more, Shang Ruyi said again: "It's just, it's too fast."

Chu Yang frowned: "What?"

Shang Ruyi said slowly: "Your Majesty, you are walking too fast, your people, your subjects, cannot keep up—"

Chu Yang's face suddenly darkened.

"What did you say?"

Shang Ruyi had almost expected his reaction at the moment, and she even wanted to tell him directly—that's right, your people, the world can't keep up with you, not only can't keep up, they are about to be dragged to death by you!
But facing Shang Chu Yang's red eyes and pale face, she couldn't speak.

She knew that no matter how ferocious his appearance was, even his hideous and distorted face, it was just the only mask that could be used to cover up his fragile heart. If he really tore it off at this moment, I'm afraid he would have nothing left.

How can I have the heart to treat a person who is even loved by heaven like this.

Shang Ruyi struggled for a long time, and finally he could only sigh and said softly: "Your Majesty, look at the Danji walkway outside the main hall, even if you are so familiar with it, even if Your Majesty is anxious when going to court, you still have to walk through those steps step by step. stairs?"

"..."

"Even the road has to be taken step by step, not to mention His Majesty's vision for the world, how can it be possible to reach the sky in one step and achieve it overnight?"

Chu Yang fell silent.

He didn't seem to be angry anymore, but he wasn't completely calm either. He looked deeply at Shang Ruyi with his eyes, and just after the other party finished speaking, his thin body almost trembled slightly as he leaned against the heavy palace door. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pushed the heavy palace door open heavily.

"what!"

Shang Ruyi was caught off guard and almost fell on his back.

But as soon as Chu Yang stretched out his hand, he embraced her slender waist and pulled her into his arms.

Shang Ruyi lost his reaction for a moment, forgetting to struggle.However, she didn't fall, and the people outside the door let out an exclamation. It was Eunuch Yu who had been guarding outside the hall. He was hit by the door and fell to the ground. , Kneeling and kowtowing again and again in fright.

The little eunuchs outside didn't even dare to raise their heads.

Shang Ruyi blushed, and hurriedly broke free from his arms.

Chu Yang didn't force it, he just gave her a hard look, then reached out and grabbed his wrist, pulled him out of the hall, and walked all the way to Dan Chi to look down.

Although this bright hall is not as grand and majestic as the main hall of the imperial palace in Daxing City, nor as majestic and majestic as the main hall of Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital, it is still the main hall of the old palace of the Chen Dynasty.The high platform is more than three feet high, and the Danchi tread is wide and long. Standing on it and looking down, it looks like a ladder extending from the heavenly palace to the human world.

Even if you want to go down in one step, it is impossible, let alone go up from the bottom.

In this world, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step, no matter what.

Seeing his shining eyes, Shang Ruyi sighed, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, it's still—"

But before she finished speaking, Chu Yang suddenly grabbed her wrist again and strode down.

Although it is impossible to do it in one step, it is indeed not too difficult to walk down such a path. The two of them walked to the bottom of the altar in a short while, and then looked up at the main hall above. It's heaven.

Looking at it this way, it is even more difficult.

Chu Yang suddenly said: "You said that it is impossible for a person to walk this path in one step, right?"

Shang Ruyi frowned: "...Of course."

"it is good,"

Chu Yang sneered, and suddenly waved his hand: "Come here!"

When Eunuch Yu, who was still standing there in a daze, heard the sound, he hurriedly led his people to follow him, walked to Chu Yang's side, lowered his head, and said softly, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Chu Yang said: "Lift me up!"

"what!"

Everyone was stunned, Eunuch Yu turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Dan Chi can't pass the sedan chair, otherwise, it will be very ominous!"

Chu Yang said coldly: "Who asked you to carry the sedan chair, just you guys, carry me up!"

Several young eunuchs were ordered, and only then did they come back to their senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to form a sedan chair with their hands. Chu Yang sat on it swaggeringly, and said, "Let's go!"

Several young eunuchs carried him up the steps step by step.

In fact, it is not too strenuous for several people to lift one person up the steps, but when this person is the emperor, it is completely different. Everyone is afraid that if one accidentally falls on him, it will be a great crime to destroy the nine clans, so , walked cautiously, like walking on thin ice, obviously the weather was not too hot, but everyone walked out sweating profusely.

Finally, when everyone was about to run out of strength, they were finally about to ascend the hall.

But when the last step was left, Chu Yang said: "Stop!"

"...!?"

Everyone froze for a moment, hurriedly stopped, and looked at him carefully.

Chu Yang said coldly: "Let me down."

Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, but no one dared to disobey the emperor's will, so everyone could only bend their knees carefully, and supported him to put him down with trembling hands that were almost exhausted, only to see Chu Yang After landing on both feet and standing firmly, he lifted his feet again and walked up a step.

This time, he completely boarded the hall.

Then, he turned around slowly, looked at Shang Ruyi standing under the hall with a shocked expression on his face, as if he still couldn't recover, smiled proudly, and said, "Did you see it?"

"..."

"It took me only one step to climb up."

"..."

"Therefore, there is nothing impossible, and there is nothing that should not be done. I am the emperor and the son of heaven. I can do things that the world cannot do, and even more things that the world dare not imagine."

"..."

"If you still think that I am wrong—"

Having said that, his face darkened, and he said slowly: "Then, I can only say that I misjudged you."

"..."

At this moment, Shang Ruyi was completely speechless.

She never imagined, even in her dreams, that Chu Yang would respond to her words in such a way.

But at this moment, standing on the main hall, he still had a haughty expression on his face, that incomparably arrogant demeanor still glistened in the sunlight, as if even the sunlight couldn't take away any light from him.

Looking at the panting, tired and frightened young eunuchs around him who couldn't even breathe, Shang Ruyi felt a lump in his throat.

After a long time, she let out a long sigh.
