Unlike the underage princes and princesses, they were either held hostage to the other two kingdoms or lived together as children in the imperial city.

When the imperial prince has reached adulthood, he will be given a separate mansion to live outside the imperial city on his own.

Although nominally, such an act seems to be for the sake of the princes themselves being trained.

There is no doubt that this method of dealing with the heat was originally to allow all forces in the empire to contact the princes privately, so that each prince has the motivation to pursue imperial power.

Even the mansion of Su Zheng, the eldest son of the imperial emperor, was given to the southeast corner of the imperial capital Yingtian, and the mansions of most of the imperial ministers happened to be arranged together.

In this way, even most of the civil servants support the second prince Su Tan.

But in the civil official group, there will naturally be some less valued existences, and they will inevitably secretly make some secret power transactions with Su Zheng, the eldest prince who is close at hand.

However, after the sky darkened today, there were no more private transactions in the palace of the eldest prince.

Because today's royal palace is obviously a place where the entire empire is paying attention.

The Qi-powered limousines continued to drive into the palace from all directions, and under the frost moon looming in the clouds, they became an integral part of the palace feast.

In order to make this so-called "banquet for elites of various countries" look more presentable.

In addition to Su Mu and Su Tong, who were the targets, the eldest prince Su Zheng also gathered the young talents of his country, as well as the top elites from the Papal State, all here.

Therefore, when Su Mu and the three of them finished discussing the countermeasures, they came with Lei Hao.

In the banquet hall of the palace, countless figures had already been seated, and they were seated according to the forces of each party.

......

The banquet in the palace is still the most popular roasted animal in the empire, and it seems that in the eyes of the people of the empire, this is undoubtedly the highest reception etiquette.

However, in terms of seating arrangements, the royal palace is very different from the official reception.

I saw that in the wide hall, Su Zheng directly arranged the several cases one by one around the five roasted animals in the center, without any priority at all, and let everyone sit facing the center.

Su Zheng's move was undoubtedly an extremely smart approach.

No matter from any point of view, as the most powerful Long Tuo Heavenly Family in this world, others have surrendered their identities to live at the same table with everyone, which is already the greatest affirmation of the guests.

And after Su Mu and several people entered the table separately, Su Mu found out:

Among all the guests, except for the two imperial princes that Su Mu had long understood that would appear, and the other two academy tutors corresponding to Lu Xi.

What really surprised Su Mu and the three of them was a twenty-seven or eight-year-old young man from the Pope's state.

Although this person was a student, he sat silently next to Randy, the mentor of the Papal States. But just like the relationship between Su Mu and Lu Xi, Lu Xi will give priority to consulting Su Mu before making any decisions. And now Randy, the academy tutor of the Papal States, he often subconsciously keeps looking at this person beside him.

Even the reason why Lu Xi listened to Su Mu's opinion was entirely because the two were comrades-in-arms for the same purpose.

Randy's attempt to listen to this person is nothing more than a subordinate relationship.

It seems that Randy, who is obviously the tutor of the academy, not only does not dare to act wantonly in front of this person, but also becomes extremely cautious.

Even the banquet that entered the palace was also faintly centered on this person.

......

However, under Su Mu's slight suspicion, after everyone had already sat down, Su Zheng, as the host of tonight's banquet, had already spoken:

"Adhering to my father's will, and also grateful for the smooth start of the exchange conference of the three colleges, I invited the most elite talents of the three parties tonight to enjoy this rare high-level gathering. ”

As soon as Su Zheng, the eldest son of the emperor, finished speaking, the banquet officially began in today's palace under the cutting of the five animals by the chef in charge.

The chef's knife is beautifully sliced with meat, and it is soon served to everyone with a variety of seasonings.

And leaving the front of Emperor Longtuo, the emperor's eldest son, Su Zheng, no longer has so many scruples.

At this time, his words and deeds were more appropriate than in the welcome hall that day.

Now, instead of immediately mentioning the topic of whether to keep Su Tong, he started directly from Su Mu's declaration and decisively cut into another topic:

"Although Su Mu is a genius of the Federation, you are also the emperor's son-in-law of our Long Tuo...... Your loud proclamation in the palace that day really has the momentum of our 10,000-year-old empire!"

"But brother-in-law, do you know, not to mention whether the other Heavenly Pride present is convinced or not, in fact, even the adjutant who was sent to Qinghua in my own account also wanted to challenge you. ”

Today's feast is arranged in a circle.

But there is no doubt that almost all the people from the same force are seated next to each other.

And at this moment, the emperor's eldest son, Su Zheng, is at hand is Li Ziyang, an agile knight who has shined today. And now the unconvinced adjutant in Su Zheng's mouth is obviously referring to Li Ziyang himself.

Even after hearing this, Li Ziyang looked at Su Mu's position with great pride.

It seems that Su Mu's declaration was ...... Extremely dissatisfied and disdainful!

......

The will that Su Zheng showed at this time was actually the will of the Dragon Tuo Emperor behind him.

Since Su Mu used that astonishing declaration, he directly blocked the emperor's continued questioning.

For the most imperial side, the way to break this impasse is actually so simple and straightforward that there is not even a second way to go.

"Completely defeat and crush Su Mu...... Then it's going to be a joke!"

However, at this moment, with the rise of the topic in the mouth of the eldest prince Su Zheng, Su Mudu has not yet responded to this, and the other person is abruptly chaotic:

"Confronting Su Mu is naturally the goal of all of you, and even my own. But based on my observation of Li Ziyang's battle, Li Ziyang, you obviously don't have the conditions to defeat Su Mu, and I'm afraid you're not even my opponent. ”

"So I suggest that Your Highness, you might as well leave this task to me. For me after all...... The possible marriage with Ling Mei was all shattered because of Su Mu's existence. Although I can no longer win the heart of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I always have to collect some interest in return!"

What opened his mouth at this moment was undoubtedly Su Tong's former marriage partner...... After the famous family of the empire, Yang Zimu.

And the relationship between Yang Zimu and the second prince Su Tan, not to mention that no one in the empire knows about it at all, and even Su Mu, who has reached a temporary cooperation with the second prince, has never heard of it.

So at this time, when Yang Zimu sat behind the leading mentor of Qinghua Academy, he spoke purely as a famous family of the empire and a genius who became famous in the empire.

Even the emperor's eldest son, Su Zheng himself, never noticed that there was anything wrong with this.

Therefore, after groaning slightly, Su Zheng could only be a little strange, looked at Yang Zimu, who was usually respectful and cautious, and said to Su Mu again:

"It seems that your declaration, brother-in-law, is not only dissatisfied with the soldiers under my own account, but even Zimu, who has never met you, also has the determination to challenge you. ”

"But what I'm really curious about now is, brother-in-law, if you really haven't done it, brother-in-law, if you really haven't done it...... And how do you deal with yourself?"
