Su Jue smiled and nodded: "This kid is very playful. He still wants to play in the capital for a few months."
"He wants to wait until the end of the Imperial Academy's year-end exams before returning to the First City, which can be considered a perfect end to his studies at Dayan."
After Emperor Chengming gave birth to a child, he said: "I heard that Letian did very well in his studies at the Imperial College, and he was ranked first every year."
"It is said that several other young masters who are studying abroad are also very good. Your first city is really full of talents!"
Su Jue said softly: "Your Majesty has given me a compliment. They are actually very stubborn and should not be praised."
Emperor Cheng Ming glanced at him and said: "The First City is not a tall city, and its population is not large, but it can be evenly matched with the other six countries in one city. It is really impressive."
"The First City's way of raising young gentlemen is very special, but it cannot be learned from other Chinese studies."
Su Jue smiled back: "The Emperor is overestimating the First City's equal status with the Six Kingdoms."
"We have just lived in the First City for generations and survived the turmoil in that city a hundred years ago."
"The Lord of the First City has an order that all the sons of our first city will not bully others. If someone bullies someone, they will be beaten back even if they fight to the last person."
"This is my first city's only rule for the outside world. It's actually a bit bitter to say it."
"We have been invaded many times over the years but have always been undefeated. We just want to protect our homeland and there is no way out."
At first glance, his words seemed a bit modest, but if you listen carefully, you can find that there are bones in his words.
Emperor Chengming suddenly praised the princes of the First City, which made Su Jue a little uneasy.
Looking at the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms, when it comes to being vicious and ruthless, no monarch can compare to the one in front of me.
Although Su Jue did not personally witness the ascension of Emperor Cheng Ming to the throne at that time, based on the information received by the First City, there was only one word in the end: ruthless!
At that time, Emperor Chengming first used the hands of his brothers to force the original regent to abdicate, and then defeated their brothers one by one and killed them all!
It is said that the capital of Dayan seemed to have been washed with blood, with corpses everywhere.
Due to the series of big moves, Dayan experienced a period of turmoil. In order to stabilize the country, Emperor Chengming appointed a woman who was more than ten years older than him as his queen.
It's just because the woman's father and brother are both powerful military commanders.
After Emperor Chengming used their help to quell the civil strife in Dayan, the first thing he did was to kill the then father-in-law and uncle. At the same time, the original queen died suddenly.
After the death of that queen, Emperor Cheng Ming immediately made the current queen his queen.
He reused her father and brother from her natal family and asked Cheng Lixue to establish the Imperial Academy to promote outstanding talents from all walks of life.
Although Dayan has had various problems in recent years, it has been managed reasonably well under Emperor Cheng Ming's governance.
But looking at Emperor Cheng Ming, Su Jue didn't like him.
Although it is said that those who can become an emperor must have blood on their hands, there is too much blood in the hands of Emperor Ming.
No matter how much the civil and military officials of Yan praised Emperor Ming for creating the prosperous age of Yan, he was a rare sage and wise emperor.
In Su Jue's eyes, this person is a ruthless person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Emperor Chengming smiled and said: "I have heard a lot about the First City, and I admire the First City very much."
"That kind of unity and unity is something I don't have in Dayan."
Su Jue heard something from his words, and immediately said: "Everything in the First City can survive because of the rules left by our ancestors."
"One of the rules left by our ancestors is not to marry into the royal family of the six countries."
"The First City never sells daughters, nor does it buy other people's daughters. Without ties, there is no fear. If attacked, you can fight wholeheartedly."
Emperor Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is the first time I have heard someone describe marriage as the sale of a daughter."
Su Jue's tone was calm but firm: "This is a rule passed down by our ancestors in the First City. You are the emperor of Dayan, so it's okay if you don't agree with it."
Emperor Cheng Ming had known the First City's style of conduct before. When Su Jue reprimanded him like this, he felt a little unhappy, but he would not get angry.
He laughed: "Master Su is really quick to talk."
The two of them smiled at each other, and the matter was settled.
When I arrived at the hunting ground in the evening, the palace officials were already waiting at the door to greet me.
The houses and other things have been allocated a long time ago. As soon as everyone arrives, they will be led to their respective residences to rest.
Although there are many palace buildings, there are many people coming, so allocating the houses is very challenging. Fortunately, the officials who allocate the houses are very experienced in this aspect.
The princes have fixed houses, and the ministers arrange them according to their rank and favor.
Ning Guzhou was assigned to the most remote palace as before.
It's just that it's a bit off, but the interior is quite neatly arranged and very clean.
Tang Miaoxin praised: "It's not bad here."
Li Li said from the side: "Princess, please stop boasting. When I came here last year, there was a lot of chaos in this palace. The prince killed a palace attendant on the spot with a stick."
"They are afraid of being beaten, so they don't dare to neglect this year. Otherwise, those palace servants who flatter others and suppress others will disgust people to death."
After he finished speaking, he sighed again: "Some people took the opportunity to make a fuss about this matter, saying that the prince was too violent, so that when they proposed a kiss before..."
Ning Guzhou looked at Mo Li coldly. He felt he had made a mistake and said hurriedly: "My subordinate went out to collect some firewood and came back!"
"If we wait for the palace ladies to bring water, I'm afraid there won't be hot water for bathing tonight."
After he finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.
Tang Miaoxin smiled, knowing that what Mo Li didn't finish was "no one wants to marry", otherwise Emperor Cheng Ming would not have granted Ning Guzhou a marriage.
Ning Guzhou said coldly: "This guy is getting more and more unruly. He dares to say anything."
Tang Miaoxin knew that Mo Li was not lacking in foresight, and if he dared to speak like this, it was because Ning Guzhou was used to it.
She suddenly discovered that Ning Guzhou looked fierce and difficult to get along with, but in fact he was very tolerant of the people around him.
She made his legs numb from sleep today, and he didn't feel angry.
When she became bolder, she took Ning Guzhou's hand and said, "It feels uncomfortable after riding in a carriage for a day. I want to take a walk to stretch my muscles."
"I'm not familiar with this place. Could you please accompany me for a walk?"
Ning Guzhou looked towards her, and she gently shook his arm: "Let's go for a walk together!"
Ning Guzhou had ten thousand wishes in his heart, but said: "Since you sincerely ask for it, I will reluctantly take a few steps with you."
Tang Miaoxin saw the corners of his slightly upward curved lips and felt like laughing in her heart, feeling that he was really not an ordinary slut.
They won't be together for too long, so she also hopes that they can leave some good memories between them.
Don't think of him in the future and only remember the way he drew his sword.
The palace of the hunting ground is not big, but it was built by Jiangnan architects, so the beauty of Jiangnan gardens is everywhere.
The entire palace was designed and constructed very exquisitely, making full use of the terrain. The buildings are well-proportioned and elegant yet not lacking in grandeur.
