After being punished to kneel.
Zhu Di pulled Zhu Bai and applied medicine for two days.
After confirming that the other party's knee had completely recovered, he finally felt at ease.
It was dawn.
Zhu Bai was wearing the new clothes that Empress Ma had made for him.
He walked towards the Imperial Academy.
Empress Ma taught the prince that love was love, but punishment was another matter.
Ever since he moved into Cining Palace, his food and clothing had improved several times.
Most importantly, someone was concerned.
Zhu Bai truly felt that Empress Ma was sincerely good to him.
It was even better than the image he had in mind.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Wang Gen seemed to have been instructed by Cheng Shang to receive this little prince.
As time passed, the people of the Imperial Academy got used to it.
Every time they came to the library, they would see Zhu Bai's figure after noon.
Days passed by, and Zhu Bai continued to flip through books.
It was also filled with paper.
50 books, 80 books, 100 books, 200 books.
Zhu Bai's mind seemed to be a bottomless pit.
Absorbing the knowledge of the Imperial Academy.
Even Wang Gen, who had interacted with him the most, wasn't sure.
Just how knowledgeable was the current Zhu Bai?
Of course, the biggest reason was that he had embarrassed himself last time.
No one dared to test him again.
"Nonsense!"
A furious roar suddenly sounded beside Zhu Bai's ear.
He put down the book in his hand and listened carefully.
It seemed to be a familiar voice.
"Being a vassal king is one of the biggest drawbacks of Great Ming!”
The person who spoke was Chen Huaiyi. He was arguing with someone else.
"His Majesty must have his reasons for conferring the title of King.
If you object like this, be careful not to invite disaster!”
The other party didn't support the emperor title.
Instead, he wanted Chen Huaiyi to be careful with what he said and be careful not to invite trouble.
Questioning the rationality of the existence of the vassal kings was questioning Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Chen Huaiyi didn't appreciate it at all.
"How big of a drawback is a vassal king?
Don't you know that since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been few rebellions between the Han and Tang dynasties?
The implementation of the vassal king system was a strong branch and weak trunk!
Now that His Majesty was in his prime, there would naturally be no problem.
But what about 50 years later?
The vassal king became too big to fall, listening to the tune but not listening to the announcement, what should the court do!
Annihilate them? Let it be!"
The other party naturally understood this logic.
However, the other party also knew that they should not openly oppose the emperor.
"Brother Chen, don't be so impatient.
We can slowly persuade His Majesty.
Perhaps one day, His Majesty would understand?”
Chen Huaiyi flung his sleeves.
"In the future? How long would it take in the future?
His Majesty had previously conferred the nine kings, and now he was going to do so again.
The King of Qin and the King of Jin were also about to reach the age of vassals.
How can I wait?"
After hearing this, Zhu Bai waved at Wang Gen.
He gestured for him to come over and ask.
The other party replied frankly.
"Your Highness, I won't hide it from you.
The King of Yan will be getting married in a few days.
The second time, you should also be granted the title of king.”
Wang Gen seemed to have thought of something.
He hurriedly explained.
"Your Highness, Lord Chen only has a problem with the Fan King.
It's not targeted at you!"
Zhu Bai nodded.
"It's fine. I naturally won't take such a small matter to heart.
Has the matter of the emperor title been confirmed?"
Wang Gen heaved a sigh of relief.
He could feel that mysterious majesty.
He immediately replied.
"Your Highness, it should be confirmed.
The first time he was conferred the title of king, the ministers had objected to nothing.
The king is a foregone conclusion."
Wang Gen only entered the Imperial Academy after the imperial examinations.
Back then, when he was enfeoffed as a vassal king, he was still studying hard at the cold window.
By the time he became the Imperial Academy, the Qin Residence would have already been built.
Therefore, Wang Gen didn't have many objections to the vassal king.
On the other hand, the older officials who had been in the court since the beginning had a lot of opinions about this.
"It's alright now."
Zhu Bai waved his hand, signaling Wang Gen to leave.
He picked up the book in front of him and continued reading.
Seeing this, Wang Gen cupped his hands and left.
He then ordered someone to add water to the teapot on the table.
When he had nothing to do, he would also follow Zhu Bai.
He sat in the library reading and studying.
A pot of tea, a few books, sitting in the Hanlin Library for a day.
Although Zhu Bai didn't say anything.
But in his heart, he was thinking about the matter of the vassal king.
He had heard what Chen Huaiyi had said outside the door.
The king was in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.
It was only during the years when Zhu Yuanzhang was still around that he had played a role.
For example, they could resist the troops of Northern Yuan and the grassland tribes in the north.
However, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the vassal king immediately became more harmful than beneficial.
Zhu Di, the biggest vassal king, openly rebelled.
He stole the throne from his nephew.
"Fan Wang."
Zhu Bai muttered silently in his heart.
However, he was now a vassal king. The position of vassal king in the future would be his greatest support.
Even though he knew the danger of a vassal king, he would not say anything.
"You can't pick up a rock and smash your own feet!”
In fact, Zhu Bai was quite looking forward to his free life as a Domain Empress.
In the next twenty years, the vassal king would be very comfortable in the local area.
With military power in hand, he could also control the area.
"Forget it, just be my vassal king.”
Zhu Bai didn't have much ambition.
I don't want to be famous in the Ming Dynasty, but I want to live my life.
He would try his best to change his fate of dying young in the future.
Steadiness was Zhu Bai's most basic policy.
Coincidentally, he had just seen a paragraph of content.
It was about the Rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Western Han Dynasty.
Zhu Bai just silently finished reading and then closed the book.
Gradually, the sky turned dark.
Zhu Bai placed the book in his hand back on the bookshelf.
He walked towards Cining Palace with his hands behind his back.
