This was what Xu Bai was thinking about. You princes and princesses were fighting non-stop here, but His Majesty was in good health now. No matter how you fought, you were just a prince and princess. What was the point?

Hearing Xu Bai’s words, the crowd fell silent. The ninth princess fell silent as well. Then, she looked at the servant girl beside her and waved her hand gently.

As the ninth princess waved her hand, all the maids except Qing Xue and Qing Mei left, leaving only a few of them.

There was something big to say.

Xu Bai thought to himself, The fight between the princes and princesses might not be as simple as I thought. It shouldn’t be for the throne.”

Just as he was thinking about this, the ninth princess quickly gave him an answer.

“Lord Xu, do you think that we are only here for the throne? This is too simple. “The Ninth Princess put down her wine cup and rested her chin on her hand.””lmperial Father is in his prime. Under Imperial Father’s command, the Great Chu Country will only get better and better. How can we dare to have the heart to surpass it?”

From this angle, the Ninth Princess looked even more beautiful with light makeup.

Xu Bai acted as if he didn’t see it. He took a sip of wine and said,””Then what are you guys fighting for?”

The Ninth Princess was unmoved by Xu Bai’s beauty. She let go of Xu Bai’s hand and leaned back on the chair. She said lazily, “”Lord Xu, what do you think of the current system of Great Chu? I’m talking about the Jing Prefecture Dao.”

Xu Bai thought carefully for a moment and said, “The division is very clear, and each place is managed by someone. This is a good thing, but there are also shortcomings. When I came to the capital this time, there were traitors in many places.”

Whether it was a state, a prefecture, or even a Dao He County, they were like an iron bucket. There were advantages and disadvantages to dividing up such regions.

“Yes.” The Ninth Princess nodded.” That’s why Father has always wanted to change this situation. In the end, he came up with a solution. ‘”‘

As she spoke, she stood up and walked behind Xu Bai. She held onto the chair behind Xu Bai and bent down slightly.

The fair face was less than a finger away from Xu Bai. Her limpid eyes stared at Xu Bai as she slowly spat out two words. “Conferring the title of king.”

Xu Bai frowned and didn’t say anything.

Although he did not speak on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.

Conferred emperor?

He did not expect the Emperor to have such boldness.

He wanted to get through the idea of traitors appearing in every region, but he actually used an emperor to deal with it.

“No, that’s not right.” Xu Bai suddenly turned around and almost bumped into the Ninth Princess ‘head.

“What’s wrong?” The Ninth Princess did not flinch.

“It seems that His Majesty wants to give you a good place to go.”Xu Bai stroked his chin and said.

“Those who are capable and trustworthy can better cooperate with His Majesty to manage Great Chu. You are all His Majesty’s children, so you are naturally trustworthy. After all, the world is ultimately surnamed Chu.”

“Moreover, if you stay here, no matter how big the reward you give, it won’t be as good as your current status. If you become a vassal king, you will be promoted to a higher level.”

“There’s no need to consider cutting off your vassal states. At least for now, with His Majesty and His Highness around, you don’t have the guts.”

In terms of power, the capital and the local governments were a pair of contradictions. The power of both sides was closely linked to the rise and fall of the dynasty.

The emperor represented the backbone, and the vassals represented the regions.

When the emperor was alive, his prestige was very high, so he had a strong binding force on the vassals. However, if the old emperor was the one, the successor’s prestige would be far weaker, and the binding power on the local vassals would suddenly weaken. Therefore, the vassals would use the power in their hands to boldly start to grow, trying to get rid of control and even covet imperial power.

This would result in the weakening of the core and the weakening of the local forces.

Therefore, the reduction of vassals came.

However, would the current Great Chu cut off its vassals?

With the Emperor and King Sheng You present, even if these members of the royal family were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to be disrespectful.

“Smart.” “Now you know what we’re fighting for, right?” The Ninth Princess smiled. If we don’t perform well and are given a very barren land, our days there won’t be good either.”

“Boss has always been at the border, following Second Uncle in the army. He doesn’t care about these things because his contribution points are very high.”

“Old Seven is just a boorish man without any shrewdness. If it wasn’t for the Sword Empress, he would probably have been sidelined.”

“The only thing I’m worried about is Sixth Brother. He’s an ambitious person.”

“I understand,” Xu Bai said.

If he understood, everything would be clear.

The Ninth Princess raised her glass and said, “Then…” Lord Xu, it’s a pleasure working with you.”

Xu Bai clinked glasses with the Ninth Princess and smiled.””Happy cooperation. ”

The two of them drank the wine, and as they laughed, they seemed to have merged.

They chatted from time to time, making it seem more harmonious on the surface, but neither of them knew what they were thinking.

“By the way, Lord Xu, you have to be careful of many people in the capital.”The Ninth Princess’s face was flushed red as if she was drunk.

“Oh?” Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the Ninth Princess pretending to be drunk. “It seems that the princess wants to talk to me drunk. Then I’ll treat it as drunk talk. Who do I need to worry about?”

Nowadays, there were very few people in the industry who could get drunk. However, the Ninth Princess looked drunk. It was obvious that she wanted to portray herself as a person who would slip of the tongue after drinking..
