Dai Yichen also asked directly: "Father, why did you call me here so early today?"
Dai Yutian said calmly: "I asked you to come here today, in addition to informing you that you will be enrolled in Xingluo Royal Academy in half a month, there is one more thing..."
After Dai Yutian finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Ming who was standing beside him.
Zhu Ming smiled, walked in front of Dai Yichen, and squatted down: "Yichen, let me ask you, what do you think of Zhu Qing?"
Dai Yichen was confused, but after thinking about it, he replied: "Zhu Qing is very good, very cute, and we have a good relationship..."
Zhu Ming nodded in satisfaction and said, "But did you know that according to the original plan, Zhu Qing was supposed to be betrothed to the third prince Dai Mubai first after she awakened the Nether Spirit Cat spirit? Originally, His Majesty thought of your good relationship and changed his mind as long as you awakened the White Tiger spirit and had better talent than the third prince, but..."
Dai Yichen: Tsk... I see. These two came here so early just to get his CPU?
He had seen so much of this when he first entered society in his previous life!
Dai Yichen looked calm and said calmly: "Uncle Zhu, and Father, please stop beating around the bush. I prefer to be more direct."
Then, Dai Yichen looked at Dai Yutian and said, "Father, you said in the palace yesterday that you would not marry Zhuqing to my third brother. Your words are as good as gold."
Zhu Ming: Good guy, you don't play by the rules. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you be asking questions nervously?
Dai Yutian:...
Originally, they had planned that Dai Yutian would play the good guy and he would play the bad guy, and they should be able to handle it smoothly, but they were interrupted.
Dai Yutian glanced at Zhu Ming, then looked at his fourth son: "Yi Chen, do you have any opinion on the royal competition rules passed down by our ancestors?"
For some reason, Dai Yutian suddenly wanted to hear what his youngest son thought.
Zhu Ming was standing aside, feeling very nervous. He wished that through Dai Yichen, the competition within the Xingluo royal family could be made more humane.
Throughout the dynasties, their Zhu family has been tied to the Dai family, and the women of the Zhu family are the weaker party. Even if they succeed in the competition, in the end they will only be a queen, and the benefits they get will not be as many as those of the emperor.
Moreover, he has three daughters in this generation, which means two of them will die. No matter which one they are, they are his favorites, and he doesn't want to...
It's not that he wants to see his daughter die so he keeps having children. The main reason is that there is no male heir in their lineage to inherit the future title.
But he didn't expect that three of them would be women, which made him a little overwhelmed...
And yesterday, when Dai Yutian approached him privately to discuss this matter, he was so excited!
In response to Dai Yutian's question, Dai Yichen looked thoughtful, but in his heart he was guessing what Dai Yutian was thinking.
A few minutes later, Dai Yichen said, "Father, the reason why our Xingluo Empire has such a strong national strength today, and the reason why the royal family can crush the Tiandou royal family, is all due to the competition rules passed down by our ancestors."
Dai Yichen first spoke of the good points, and then said: "However, in my opinion, these competition rules lack some humanity, and are not fair to us princes who practiced late.
Father, look, my eldest brother has been practicing for many years earlier than the rest of us, and he is now a Soul Master, while my second and third brothers are only a Great Soul Master and a Soul Master respectively. The gap is too big. In another three years, the competition between the eldest brother and the second brother will begin. If nothing unexpected happens, the second brother will definitely lose!
The consequence of failure is to have your cultivation abolished, or even die on the spot. Isn't this a bit too inhumane? "
Dai Yutian frowned and said in a cold tone: "Oh? Yichen, you were born in the royal family. You have often gone to the royal library alone to study in recent years. You should know that people are born unequal, especially in the royal family. The winners advance and the losers are eliminated!"
"And since you were born later, you have to practice harder. This is also putting pressure on you!"
Dai Yichen cursed in his heart, what does it mean to practice harder?
Easy to say!
If someone was born earlier than you, and after seeing you practicing inward-looking skills, he or she also started to practice inward-looking skills, even if your talent is just a little bit higher than that of the other person, how easy would it be to catch up? It's easier to talk while standing!
Originally, according to what he knew, the royal competition was a duel between the princes and daughters of the Zhu family who were able to perform martial soul fusion techniques.
But now because of his appearance, there have been some changes. Zhu Zhuqing will not be paired with Dai Mubai. So when he reaches a certain age, will Dai Mubai need to fight Davis and Zhu Zhuyun alone, or will he lose the qualification to compete directly?
Dai Yichen was not intimidated by Dai Yutian's indifference. "Father, there is something wrong with what you said. Look at my second brother. He is not working hard in his training. But can he defeat my eldest brother? Obviously not, unless my eldest brother is slacking off!"
Dai Yutian appeared indifferent on the surface, but he was very impressed by his youngest son's attitude. As the Emperor of Xingluo, he had also fought his way out of a sea of blood, so he certainly knew the cruelty of competition.
He had thought about abolishing it before, but he was afraid that it would cause civil unrest.
Now that the Haotian Sect has closed its mountains and has no external support, there is still the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire outside. The Xingluo Empire looks prosperous on the surface, but only he knows that every major decision he makes is like walking on a tightrope, and the slightest mistake will lead to eternal damnation!
But Dai Yichen's awakening yesterday gave him a glimmer of hope, and he still had this vision.
"So? What's your opinion? As a prince, you should also know that reforms in history are basically accompanied by blood. The biggest support of our royal family now is the Nether White Tiger. As for the other losers, you should also know that abolishing their cultivation or executing them can greatly reduce the occurrence of civil strife!"
I have to admit that what Dai Yutian said does make some sense. We can get a glimpse of this from the fact that Qian Renxue chose to go undercover in the Tiandou Empire instead of coming to the Xingluo Empire.
Although Qian Renxue could disguise her appearance and martial soul, she could not disguise her spirit skills. Once used, they would be exposed. Moreover, due to the special nature of the "double" on the Xing Luo Empire's side, she could not do it.
As for the Tiandou Empire, it is much easier to attack...
At this time, Dai Yichen had some guesses in his mind about the purpose of Dai Yutian calling him over.
"Father, you saw my talent and wanted me to try to change?" Dai Yichen asked tentatively?
Dai Yutian shook his head: "No, it's not me who wants to, but you who do! You don't want Zhu Zhuqing to die or make him sad, right?"
Dai Yichen:? ? ?
