Just now, Zhao Chu witnessed another fight.

The place of battle is in Qingxian City.

Moreover, the weak side this time is not Chuyu at all, but obviously the monks from Qingxian City.

Zhao Chu could see how aggressive and even a little arrogant the monks from the Chu domain were.

He could feel the ambition of these monks. They seemed to be unable to resist seizing control of Qingxian City, and they felt a sick sense of revenge.

You are strong! He is weak!

The monks on the side of Qingxian City were harassed endlessly, and it was obvious that they did not have a strong will to fight.

At this moment, Zhao Chu finally understood Xia Zonghong's worries.

This conflict only represents a very small part of the people in Chu Territory, and they are only in the Xuanshi realm.

And there are more people and more powerful people in Chu Territory. What are they thinking in their minds?

aggression.

It must be an invasion.

This is a human instinct. Aggression represents possession, the accumulation of resources, and how wealthy you are. When disaster strikes, you can survive longer than others.

instinct.

Everything is instinctive.

"Xia Zonghong is a master of insight into people's hearts. He knows how to raise tigers to cause trouble. Unfortunately, he is unlucky!"

The dispute is over.

Chu Yu beheaded an immortal envoy from the Xuanshi Realm, demolished several houses, robbed them, and left.

A place of war, life and death.

This is the release area of ​​human nature and the shielding area of ​​morality. Everyone involved in the war must temporarily annihilate human nature and evolve into the most primitive beast.

There is no right or wrong, only life and death.

The behavior of these people in Chu Yu cannot be said to be right.

But there's nothing wrong with that either.

Zhao Chu now observes the war from another perspective, and he also has some new insights in his heart.

The master leads him in, and everyone practices.

For Chu Yu, he is the one who leads the way. Now that the gate of the palace has been opened, the future path of the Chu sect will follow their own path.

In the battle just now, no matter whether Chu Zong won or lost, Zhao Chu would not take action.

"It turns out that this is the mentality of chess players."

Suddenly, Zhao Chu was in a trance and had the illusion that everyone was a pawn.

That's right.

He is like a chess player who personally places a white piece on the chessboard of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

After that, you only need to reverse the flow of the chess game at the critical moment. The rest of the steps, whether it is sacrificing chess pieces or annexing the opponent, are all done according to the trend.

All life is a game of chess.

Everyone has a destiny.

It turns out that in every chess game, the chess pieces also have their own lives.

It turns out that chess players cannot control everything.

"This may be fate, and it is also the rule of playing chess!"

Zhao Chu slowly exhaled.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt like he had experienced some vicissitudes of life.

…

Later, Zhao Chu returned to the Miasma Mountains.

There are various strong men stationed in the outermost city. With the putting into use of Lingquan, the Tribulation Realm in the Miasma Mountains has begun to take shape, and even has the potential to overwhelm the Hunxu Palace.

After all, the monks in the lower realm have a solid foundation, and they have endured more hardships since childhood than the monks in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Therefore, with a lot of accumulation, the speed of breakthrough is nothing short of miraculous.

Of course, Zhao Chu also noticed some bad things.

In Chu Zong, various factions emerged.

Although the core of the Chu sect's rule is Ma Qingjie and Shen Fusheng, as well as the first group of strong men, such as Wang Zhaochu, Xue Chongming and other Chu sect elders.

But wherever there are people, there will be comparisons and dissatisfaction.

When conquering the world, no one cares about merit, but when dividing the world, all kinds of troubles will break through the ice.

Zhao Chu is a hands-off shopkeeper, but fortunately there is Wang Jiangjie in the Chu domain. He is a smart man and has suppressed internal disputes to the extreme, but he still cannot be fair to everyone.

Zhao Chu went to five cities, and he encountered several factional conflicts, and some people even brought the leaders of their respective factions to a position that surpassed Ma Qingjie.

Although these are angry words, they also represent factional disputes that have penetrated deep into the bones.

Zhao Chu even felt the aura of some highly accomplished master.

"So that's it. No wonder, when I was studying history on Earth, all kings have a common problem."

"After ascending to the throne, the heroes who conquered the world together were basically exiled, dismissed from office, and even most of the heroes were killed. They didn't even care about the emperor's reputation. So this is how it feels!"

At this moment, Zhao Chu was sitting on a rock on the street and suddenly had a deep realization.

Based on his status, he is undoubtedly the emperor of Chu Territory at present.

He just heard a disciple of the Zhan Cangsheng Sect debating the status of Zhan Beihai. This disciple believed that Zhan Beihai should be on an equal footing with Ma Qingjie in terms of merit, or even no weaker than the domain lord Zhao Chu.

On the other side are the disciples of Yi Demon Palace. They believe that they were the strongest when they were in the sky and the sea of ​​stars, and Sui Bake should have the greater credit.

The disciples of the other forces also believed that Ma Qing Jie De was not worthy of his position, and many of them were rude to Zhao Chu.

Zhao Chu listened to their noise and smiled dumbly.

Most of these disciples are in the Xuanshi realm. How can they know the thoughts of the superiors? They are just fighting for their own interests.

This is normal.

After Zhao Chu heard this, he didn't take it seriously at all. After all, no one could shake his authority.

But he suddenly thought of ancient emperors.

The emperor of the earth does not have such absolute power as him. What would he think if he heard these remarks?

Maybe, those emperors' ideas would coincide with Xia Zonghong's.

It’s terrifying to think about it.

Zhao Chu sat on the roadside and suddenly understood many things that were difficult to understand when reading history books.

The butt determines the head.

It turns out that when you really sit in this position and carefully observe the wishes of the people, all the grievances and grudges are so simple.

The emperor killed the heroes because he was forced by these ignorant people.

But from the perspective of the common people, they are right. Everyone wants to maximize their own interests. This is human nature.

Therefore, they can only let their leaders have more authority.

They were short-sighted and could not understand the emperor's fear at all. Until these remarks frightened the emperor, they were still unaware and were still praising the greatness of their leader.

Terrible ignorance!

"It's such a complicated interpersonal relationship. Being an emperor is a technical job, being a hero and a virtuous minister is even more technical."

"From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for those traitorous ministers to have such a prosperous life in the court."

"The person who is hated by most people is the person who poses the least threat to the imperial power, so he can often be reused by the emperor, and he is also the person the emperor feels most at ease with."

"Human, why is it so complicated?"

"The people need virtuous ministers, but virtuous ministers will inevitably be supported. When they threaten the imperial power, they are not far from death."

"The people hate treacherous ministers, but treacherous ministers are the people whom the emperor feels most at ease with."

"Fortunately, I'm not an emperor!"

Zhao Chu stood up, shook his head and left.

Not far away from him, the group of people were still debating, and more and more people were debating. Zhao Chu had a headache from the noise.

It turns out that the meaning of the emperor is not that there are seventy-two concubines in the three palaces, six courtyards, and so many troubles.

The emperor is also a chess player. All he can do is lay out the chess game in a general direction and how the chess pieces move. There is also a set of rules that bind the emperor.

The suffering of all sentient beings does not favor one over the other.
