If I've learned one thing in my long reign, it's that heat rises.

What does "it's that heat rises" actually mean? At first glance, it seems to be talking about climate change-the temperature rises. What puzzles me is that when I read its authentic version in Chinese, the Chinese text about it appears to mean "is that we are grilled on the fire". It is really puzzling. Because as a king you must have experienced some hard times or gone through ordeals that are as if being put on a grill, where you must feel the heat rising.
