Chapter 308 One Step
“Your Majesty——”
Sensing what Shang Ruyi was going to say, Chu Yang didn’t even allow her to speak, and continued: “Why, you heard me say that I didn’t Wrong, do you still want to fabricate my fault? ”
"..."
"I know what you are going to say. Do you think I don't know what you are talking about me behind my back? They say that I am very happy with my achievements and waste money and people, but what kind of things I do, Not for the sake of this dynasty?”
"..."
"The late emperor established the capital in Xijing, but that place has been controlled by wealthy nobles from Dingchuan all year round. These people rely on the soldiers they have, the merits they have, and the corpses they eat all the year round. My decree cannot be implemented. That's why we built the Eastern Capital and moved the focus of state affairs to Luoyang. Only in this way can these people not hinder my great cause."
"..."< br>
"Building the canal, I know you will say that it took a lot of people's energy, but after the canal is built, freight from the north to the south will be smooth. Isn't this a good thing? This time Wuxue can take you from Luoyang to Jiangdu, and it only took a dozen Days. If there was no canal back then, how long would you have to walk on the road?”
“…”
"Also, during my three expeditions to benefit the country, some people did die, but so what? The soldiers should have been buried in horse leather. If everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, who will guard the border for me?"
" ..."
"What's more, is it pointless for me to conquer the country? They did not pay tribute when they entered the dynasty, and in recent years they have secretly colluded with Ashina Zari. If they are really allowed to collude and become powerful, they will become the two swords hanging over the head of the Daye Dynasty. At that time, it will be really helpless Clean it up!"
......
The more he talked, the more urgent his breathing became, and the more he talked, the redder his eyes became.
But Shang Ruyi fell silent.
She still remembered that Chu Yang had said these words to her not long after they met. But at this moment, when he said these words again, it was not that he had forgotten what he had said before, but that he These words need to be spoken.
He needs an outlet to vent.
At the end, after saying the last word, he was panting, as if he had just experienced a life and death struggle. His whole body was as tight as a bow that was stretched to the limit and was about to collapse. Shang Ruyi could even feel When he arrived, his two hands slowly fell on his shoulders, his palms were clammy and cold, and his fingers were clasped tightly, as if he was grasping the last straw in his life.
This feeling is suffocating.
He asked her: "Where did I go wrong?"
Chu Yang looked down at her, looking at this little woman whose back was against the heavy palace door and who had absolutely nowhere to escape at this moment. In comparison, with his pale face and disordered breathing, he looked more like a trapped animal that was about to be cornered.
He kept asking: "Where did I go wrong?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi stopped talking and just looked at the picture in front of him quietly. Handsome face.
After struggling for a long time, she finally said: "Your Majesty is not wrong in doing this."
"...!"
At this moment, it was like a person who had been walking in the dark for a long time suddenly suddenly Seeing a ray of light appear in front of his eyes, Chu Yang shuddered. When he raised his head and looked into Shang Ruyi's eyes, the slender eyes immediately filled with ecstasy, almost overwhelming the people in front of him. All swallowed up.
He said in a deep voice: "You said - I, that's right!"
"..."
"I am indeed right, right?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi looked at him quietly. Although his body was also cold, he was touched by his trembling hands. The clasped shoulders were shaking unconsciously, and her voice was also tainted with some subtle tremors.
Her throat was blocked and she said: "Your Majesty did this, yes."
An ecstatic smile appeared on Chu Yang's face. He raised his head and took a deep breath. After taking a breath, that face seemed to have a glow. But when he was about to say something else, Shang Ruyi said: "It's just that 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 -"
< br>Chu Yang's face suddenly darkened.
"What did you say?"
Shang Ruyi had almost expected his reaction at this moment. She even wanted to tell him directly - yes, your people, this world can't keep up. Not only can you not keep up, they are almost being dragged to death by you!
But facing Chu Yang's red eyes and pale face, she couldn't say anything.
She knew that no matter how fierce and twisted he looked like this, it was just the only mask that could be used to cover up his fragile heart. If it were really torn apart at this moment, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do anything. remain.
How can I bear to treat someone like this to someone who is loved by even God?
Shang Ruyi struggled for a long time, and finally could only sigh and said softly: "Your Majesty, look at the Danqi stepping road outside the main hall, even if you are so familiar with it, even if your Majesty is anxious when he goes to court, you still have to Walk through those steps step by step?”
“…”
"Even the road has to be walked step by step. What's more, how can your Majesty's vision for the world be achieved in one step?"
Chu Yang fell silent.
He seemed no longer angry, but he was not completely calm either. He looked deeply at Shang Ruyi with his eyes. After the other party finished speaking, he leaned against the heavy palace door, his thin body While he was still trembling slightly, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed the heavy palace door open.
“Ah!”
Shang Ruyi was caught off guard and almost fell on his back. But as soon as Chu Yang reached out, he grabbed her slender waist and pulled her into his arms.
Shang Ruyi lost his reaction for a moment and forgot to struggle. However, she did not fall. The person outside the door screamed in surprise. It was Eunuch Yu who had been guarding outside the hall. He was knocked to the ground by the door. He looked up and saw Chu Yang striding out of the hall. , was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed again and again.
The little eunuchs outside didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Shang Ruyi's face turned red and she hurriedly broke away from his arms.
Chu Yang didn't force himself, he just gave her a serious look, then reached out and grabbed his wrist, pulled him out of the hall, walked to the Danchi corridor and looked down.
Although this Guangming Hall is not as majestic as the main hall of the imperial palace in Daxing City, nor as 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 long, and the Danqi steps are wide and long. Looking down from the top, it looks like a staircase extending from the heavenly palace to the human world.
It is impossible to go down even one step, let alone go up from below.
In this world, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step, no matter what, it is impossible.
Looking at his shining eyes, Shang Ruyi sighed, turned around and said: "Your Majesty, it's still——"
But before she finished her words, Chu Yang suddenly He grabbed her wrist and strode down.
Although it was impossible to achieve it in one step, it was indeed not too difficult to get down such a path. The two of them reached the foot of Danqi in a short while, and then looked up at the main hall above, which already looked like a towering tower reaching into the clouds. Heavenly palace.
Looking at it this way, it’s even harder.
Chu Yang suddenly said: "You said that it is impossible for a person to walk the whole path in one step, right?"
Shang Ruyi frowned: "...Of course."
“Okay,”
Chu Yang sneered and suddenly waved his hand: "Come here!"
When Eunuch Yu, who was still standing there blankly, heard the sound, he hurriedly followed him down and walked to Chu Yang. Yang lowered his head and said softly: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Chu Yang said: "Carry me up!"
"Ah!"
Everyone was stunned, Eunuch Yu turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty , Danchi cannot pass the sedan horse, otherwise it will be very unlucky!”
Chu Yang said coldly: "Who asked you to carry the sedan chair? Just you guys, carry me up!"
A few young eunuchs came to their senses after being pointed at and hurriedly stepped forward. Using his hands to form a sedan chair, Chu Yang sat on it swaggeringly, and then said: "Let's go!"
A few young eunuchs carried him up the steps step by step.
In fact, it is not too strenuous for several people to carry one person up the stairs, but when this person is the emperor, it is completely different. Everyone is afraid that someone will accidentally fall on him. It was a grave crime to destroy the nine tribes, so they walked cautiously, walking on thin ice. Even though the weather was not too hot, everyone was sweating profusely.
Finally, when everyone's strength was about to be exhausted, they were finally about to ascend the hall.
But just when there was the last step left, Chu Yang said: "Stop!"
"...!?"
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly stopped, carefully Look at him.
Chu Yang said coldly: "Put me down."
Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, but who dared to disobey the emperor's will, so everyone could only obey cautiously. He lowered his knees and supported him with trembling hands that were almost exhausted. He saw Chu Yang landing on his feet and standing firm. Then he lifted his feet and walked up one step.
This time, he completely ascended the hall.
Then, he slowly turned around and looked at Shang Ruyi, who was standing under the main hall with a shocked face and seemed to be unable to recover. He smiled proudly and said, "Did you see it? ?"
"..."
"I climbed up in just one step."
"..."
"So, nothing is impossible, and nothing should not be done. I am the emperor, the Son of Heaven. I can do things that no one else can do, and I can even do things that no one in the world dares to think of."
"..."
< br>"If you still think that I am wrong——"
At this point, his face darkened and he said slowly: "Then, I can only say that I was wrong about you."
“……”
At this moment, Shang Ruyi was completely speechless.
She never imagined, never in her dreams, that Chu Yang would respond to her words in this way.
At this moment, standing in the main hall, he still looked arrogant, and his arrogant and arrogant expression was still shining in the sun, as if even the sun could not take away any of his light.
Looking at the little eunuchs around him who were panting, tired and scared, and couldn't even breathe, Shang Ruyi felt a lump in his throat.
After a long time, she let out a long sigh.
