Chapter 178 Emperor Chu: This power is enough (8000)

Xu Bai put down the letter in his hand and looked at Eunuch Wei again. The meaning in his eyes was obvious. The content of the letter confused him.

Eunuch Wei smiled, stretched out two fingers, picked up the letter, found a fire fold, lit the letter, and placed it in the brazier.

Watching the brazier burning more and more fiercely, until the letter turned into ashes, he slowly spoke.

"If you had not reached the realm of transformation, then everything would be easy. But now that you have reached this realm, the reward His Majesty will give you will definitely be heavy."

"Only when you have reached your current level can you be worthy of this reward. But to get this reward, others must be convinced."

"Establishing prestige is one of them. It is for your own good. When you establish this prestige, everything will be in your hands."

After saying this, Eunuch Wei turned around and put his hands in his sleeves.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said: "Eunuch Wei, we are also drinking buddies. Don't speak so mysteriously. You burned this letter so quickly just now. What if I don't remember the name on it?"

manage?"

Eunuch Wei originally had a sinister smile on his face, but after hearing Xu Bai's words, he froze on the spot. Apparently Xu Bai's thinking was too out of the ordinary for him to react.

"That's not true, you are in such a state that you can't remember these things?"

He thought that Xu Bai really didn't write it down, so he was thinking of simply writing it down again.

But when he saw Xu Bai's smile, he understood that Xu Bai was teasing him, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"In this palace, I can count on one hand all those who dare to tease me, and you are one of them."

Xu Bai stood up, walked to Eunuch Wei and stopped, saying, "I can't stop this, but I have to know what the reward is and whether it's worth it."

Eunuch Wei sighed and said, "Boy Xu, you are good at everything, but you are too utilitarian in what you do. Your businessman character is too obvious."

"We're talking about business." Xu Bai didn't think there was anything wrong with him: "It's better to talk about business than talk about feelings."

Eunuch Wei thought for a long time. After a while, he finally made up his mind and spoke slowly.

"Is a huge reward enough?"

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows: "What is a huge reward?"

The name sounded interesting, but he wanted to know the exact meaning, so he wanted Eunuch Wei to explain it clearly.

"Master Xu, do you know about the title of king?" Wei Gong said impartially.

Xu Bai nodded. He had heard about this from the Ninth Princess and indeed knew about it.

"Master Xu also knows that this world is so big, how can these four royal families take charge of it?" Eunuch Wei continued.

Xu Bai pondered: "The Chu Kingdom is very large, and it is impossible to control it just by four members of the royal family."

"Just the four royal families are almost nothing compared to His Majesty's arrangement, but what if we add some kings with different surnames?" Eunuch Wei finally said the last words.

Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, then he took two steps forward and looked directly at Eunuch Wei, trying to see something strange in his eyes.

But there was nothing unusual about Eunuch Wei at all, he just stared at Xu Bai.

Xu Bai took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty means to make me a king with a different surname. What a big move."

Wei Gonggong said: "You also know the current situation of this great Chu country. Your Majesty developed too fast at the time, which made it look very beautiful, but in fact it was just a piece of rotten wood."

“It’s not like you haven’t seen local officials of all kinds engage in corruption, bend the law, and even collude with internal and external officials.”

"If you make a king and give a place to those who are trustworthy and let them govern, it will be much better than His Majesty's micromanaging everything."

Xu Bai nodded thoughtfully.

There are many benefits to becoming a king.

One of them is to defend the unification of imperial power and expand the area under their control.

But Xu Bai had his own ideas. In his previous life, there were many examples of vassal kings rebelling in history.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty during the Wen-Jing rule was almost killed; the Ming Dynasty divided the kings, but the result was that Zhu Di had too much power, and Emperor Jianwen was nowhere to be seen from then on.

"Your Majesty, are you not afraid?" Xu Bai asked his thoughts.

"Afraid?" Eunuch Wei shook his head and said, "Why should you be afraid? As long as your majesty reigns, no one will dare to bully you. Besides, when you appoint a king, you will definitely take into account the issue of mutual restraint.

"

"Let's use an analogy. For example, if you and I are neighboring kings, if you dare to deceive the king or collude with outsiders, I will report it to you, and you can also get a reward from His Majesty the Emperor."

"In this way, it will be much better to think about it than today's disparity."

As he spoke, Eunuch Wei seemed to have opened up his chat box and continued talking.

"As long as your Majesty reigns, this great Chu country will not dare to cause chaos."

"Your Majesty and King Shengyou are the foundation of the entire Chu Kingdom. As long as they are here, they can suppress it. However, Your Majesty does not want the people to be troubled by rotten wood anymore."

Xu Bai understood.

He had forgotten that in this era, personal force was still at its peak.

Even if you have soldiers and horses, unless you are a military person like King Shengyou, your personal force is too strong.

For example, Eunuch Wei, with him sitting in the palace, is better than thousands of troops.

What's more, Emperor Chu?

Although Xu Bai didn't know what Emperor Chu's strength was, it would definitely not be low.

"To be honest, I'm not very interested in this reward." Xu Bai shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.

Be a king?

No one would be able to refuse, but Xu Bai didn't like it. If you have a golden finger, what do you think you are?

It's better to be carefree and carefree, have a progress bar when nothing happens, and then continue to strengthen yourself, rather than sealing off a territory.

Eunuch Wei patted Xu Bai on the shoulder and said, "We know what you think. You are a person who likes freedom, but your king is completely different from others."

"oh?"

This sudden sentence aroused Xu Bai's interest.

"What's the difference?"

"A king who can kill kings." Eunuch Wei said with a smile: "You don't have a fiefdom, but you have infinite power, which allows you to be tyrannical in the Chu Kingdom. No, you can't say tyrannical. It should be justice."

"Any guilty king, even a member of the royal family, can be killed as long as you have evidence."

"Usually you can move around as you like, no matter where you go. In this regard, you have absolute freedom."

Xu Bai heard this and thought for a moment.

To be honest, this reward is really great.

There is no fiefdom, but it has strong real power.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will misuse my power?" Xu Bai asked.

With this right, it would be easy for him to frame anyone up with anything he wanted.

After framing them, they killed them with one blow. Those so-called kings would probably have to tuck their tail between their legs when they saw him.

Eunuch Wei said with a smile: "Our family and Your Majesty believe that a person who can live forever through the mirror cannot do these things."

Xu Bai: "..."

Good guy.

He always felt something was wrong. It turned out that the emperor was mixed in, otherwise how could he have come into contact with that mirror?

But what the heck is that about the Eternal Majestic Chapter? I don’t seem to be affected.

But all this is not important. What is important is that this reward has a special effect on him.

Is he the kind of person who abuses his power? To be honest, yes and no.

You don't use this thing to harm others, but you can get some good things for yourself.

For example... a progress bar.

From time to time, you can find someone who has been crowned king, sit around, and use your power to look for the progress bar. That is not flattering. After all, you are also a free person, and you also have huge power.

Eunuch Wei didn't know what Xu Bai was thinking, and kept talking: "Actually, Your Majesty thinks that if you have this power, you can use it a little to find some benefits for yourself and give those people a very greedy feeling."

It feels like it can also make them relax their vigilance.”

These are the true words, Eunuch Wei did not add any exaggeration.

Xu Bai licked his lips: "Seriously?"

This is perfect, it's like the emperor personally asked him to use his power to get greedy.

Eunuch Wei nodded, indicating that he was completely serious.

He brought the topic back again and said, "Now, do you understand why I asked you to do as I said in the letter?"

"Understood." Xu Bai smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to tell me, I will do the same. After all, these are my enemies. When will we start?"

The corner of Wei Eunuch's mouth twitched. He knew that Xu Bai's enthusiastic look was completely fake, and he couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong with the chapter "Long-lasting Power".
