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

Eunuch Wei smiled and extended two fingers to pick up the letter. He found a lighter and lit the letter, placing it in the brazier.

He watched the brazier burn brighter and brighter until the letter turned to ashes. Then, he slowly opened his mouth.

If you hadn’t reached the mortal evolution state, then everything would be fine. But now that you’re at this state, His Majesty will definitely reward you handsomely.’”‘

“Only you who have reached your current realm can be worthy of this reward.

However, in order to obtain this reward, you must be convinced by others.”

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

Eunuch Wei turned around and hid his hands in his sleeves.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said,” Eunuch Wei, we are drinking buddies. Don’t be so mysterious. You burned this letter so quickly just now. What if I don’t remember the name on it?’”‘

Eunuch Wei had a sinister smile on his face, but after hearing Xu Bai’s words, he was stunned on the spot. Clearly, Xu Bai’s thoughts were too jumpy, and he did not react in time.

“It can’t be. You can’t remember these things at your realm?”

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

However, when he saw Xu Bai’s smile, he understood that Xu Bai was teasing him. He couldn’t help but shake his head.

“In this imperial palace, there are only a handful of people who dare to tease me, and you are one of them.”

Xu Bai stood up and stopped in front of Eunuch Wei.””This matter can’t stop me, but I still need to know what the reward is and whether it’s worth it.”

Eunuch Wei sighed and said,” Brat Xu, you’re good at everything. It’s just that you’re too materialistic. Your character as a businessman is too obvious.”

“Business is business.” Xu Bai didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with better to talk about business than feelings.”

Eunuch Wei pondered for a long time. After a moment, he finally made up his mind and slowly spat out a sentence.

“Is a huge reward enough?”

“What is a huge reward?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.”

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

“Lord Xu, you know about the matter of being conferred the title of king, right?”said Eunuch Wei.

Xu Bai nodded. He had heard about it from the Ninth Princess.

“Then Lord Xu also knows that the world is so big. How can these four imperial families control it?”Eunuch Wei continued.

Great Chu is very large,” Xu Bai muttered.” It’s impossible to control it with just the four members of the royal family.”

“Just the four of you is almost non-existent to His Majesty’s arrangements. But what if you add in some kings with different surnames?”Eunuch Wei finally said the last sentence.

Xu Bai was stunned. Then, he took two steps forward and looked straight at Eunuch Wei, trying to see something strange in his eyes.

However, Eunuch Wei didn’t seem to have any abnormalities at all. He just stared at Xu Bai.

Xu Bai took a deep breath and said,” Your Majesty’s intention is to confer me the title of King of a different surname. How generous.’”‘

Eunuch Wei said,” You know the current situation of Great Chu. His Majesty developed too quickly back then, causing him to look extremely glorious, but in reality, he was just a piece of rotten wood.”

“It’s not like you haven’t seen all kinds of local officials taking bribes and bending the law, and even colluding with outsiders.”

“If we give a place to those trustworthy people and let them govern, it would be much better than His Majesty doing everything.” Xu Bai nodded thoughtfully.

There were many benefits to becoming a king.

One of them was to protect the unification of the imperial power and expand their ruling area.

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

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was almost killed. The Ming Dynasty enfeoffed the kings, but the result was that Zhu Di’s power was too great, and Emperor Jianwen disappeared.

“Your Majesty isn’t afraid?” Xu Bai asked for his thoughts.

“Afraid?” Eunuch Wei shook his head and said,” Why should I be afraid? As long as His Majesty is still in power, who would dare to deceive the Emperor? Besides, when he is conferred the title of King, he will definitely consider the issue of mutual restraint.”

“Let’s make an analogy. For example, if you and I are neighboring kings and you dare to deceive the emperor or collude with outsiders, I will report it to you and receive a reward from the emperor.”

“This way, it’s much better than the current situation where we’re not connected.”

As he spoke, Eunuch Wei seemed to have opened his mouth and continued to speak.

“As long as Your Majesty is in power, this Great Chu will not dare to be in chaos.”

“His Majesty and King Sheng You are the foundation of the entire Great Chu State. As long as they are around, they can suppress it. It’s just that His Majesty doesn’t want the people to be troubled by rotten wood again.”

Xu Bai understood.

He had forgotten that in this era, individual strength was still at the peak.

Even if you had soldiers and horses in your hands, unless you were someone like King Sheng You, your individual strength was simply too strong.

For example, Eunuch Wei, with him guarding the palace, was better than thousands of troops.

Let alone the Chu Emperor?

Although Xu Bai didn’t know how strong the Chu Emperor was, he knew that it definitely wasn’t weak.

“To be honest, I’m not too interested in this reward.”Xu Bai shook his head, indicating that he was not interested..
