Chapter 142 8 Princes

Chapter 142 The Eighteenth Prince
"About the Crown Prince?" Jun Heng's eyelids jumped, and he thought, "No way?"

Of course, what he thought of was not the love affairs that Jun Jingrui had just mentioned, but the fact that Ji Chenxing was killed by Jun Jingrui in the previous life.

Ji Chenxing saw Jun Heng's expression and knew that he had something in mind, so he spoke directly:

"Jun Jingrui is immature and lacks forethought, so he is not up to the task. I wonder how long your majesty thinks he will remain the crown prince?"

Oh, it turned out that it was just to depose the crown prince. Jun Heng felt much relieved.

"Deposing the crown prince... is not impossible, but this matter requires long-term consideration."

Jun Jingrui lowered his head, as if he was ashamed of his disappointing son.

Ji Chenxing had no expression of sadness or joy, "It is not necessary to depose Jun Jingrui. You can keep him as the crown prince. But if he inherits the throne one day, I will never help Daliang again."

Jun Heng was silent.

Jun Jingrui once cooperated with Shen Ruyan to kill Ji Chenxing once. From Ji Chenxing's perspective, even if she asked for Jun Jingrui to be executed, it would not be excessive to exchange one life for another.

Moreover, with Ji Chenxing's current ability, once she stops helping Daliang and turns to help Beiliang or other small countries, Daliang's situation will be very dangerous.

Even if we don’t talk about other things, even for the current Daliang, if it loses Ji Chenxing, it may not be able to survive this year’s drought and flood disasters.

Jun Heng knew this very well.

Moreover, what Ji Chenxing said was not wrong. Jun Jingrui was indeed not a qualified successor. Although he had some talents, he was still a little lacking.

If it weren't for the fact that the prince was born to the queen and Jun Heng had deep feelings for his first child, he would not have pushed Jun Jingrui to the position of prince.

Now it seems that the position of crown prince is indeed not suitable for Jun Jingrui.

Although it was ugly to depose the crown prince, and after being deposed, he did not go against Ji Chenxing, so at least his life was saved.

"Okay, as you said, I will depose Jun Jingrui, but the time may be postponed a little. I need a suitable opportunity."

Deposing the crown prince might cause turmoil in the court, so at least a superficially acceptable reason must be found.

Ji Chenxing nodded to show his understanding and agreement.

Jun Heng pondered for a moment at his desk, "I wonder what Miss Ji thinks about the position of Crown Prince? In your opinion, which of my other princes can take on the important task?"

It is impossible to ask this kind of question to an outsider, let alone a woman outside the court.

But Ji Chenxing is not an ordinary woman. Now Ji Chenxing's abilities and strategies are far beyond this era. Unconsciously, Jun Heng also regards Ji Chenxing as a living god.

Ji Chenxing lowered his eyes slightly.

To be honest, she didn't know much about Jun Heng's sons.

In her previous life, she read a lot, but most of them were history and military tactics. Although she had strategies on the battlefield, she was stationed at the border every day, so she inevitably neglected the capital and lacked understanding of the several princes in the capital.

Seeing Ji Chenxing lost in thought, Jun Heng couldn't help but become nervous.

"What's wrong? My sons...are they so difficult to judge?"

Listening to the Internet slang coming from Jun Heng's mouth, Ji Chenxing didn't feel any sense of disobedience at all.

"It's not difficult to evaluate. I think the Second Prince is pretty good..."

Although Ji Chenxing didn’t know much about the princes of this era, it didn’t matter because she had read the history books of Daliang during this period!
Although this period of Daliang's history was short and not many people have studied it, you can still find relevant documents if you look carefully. Authors have written books about Jun Heng's eighteen sons, the temperament of each son, and even what they would do if a prince obtained the throne.

After reading all this, it was hard for Ji Chenxing not to understand.

After talking about the second prince, he moved on to the third and fourth princes. Except for a few princes who died young and those who were particularly incompetent, Ji Chenxing talked about all the princes who had the potential to succeed.

Ji Chenxing said so much and so completely that Jun Heng’s brain was a little unable to keep up.

He is the father of these princes, but because he is busy with official duties every day, he does not have the time to get to know each of his sons.

He originally just wanted to hear Ji Chenxing's opinion on a prince she particularly liked, or even ask her to directly arrange for one to take the stage.

But he didn't expect Ji Chenxing to say so much in one breath, which even made him hard to believe that his sons had such shining points.

Jun Heng's mouth twitched when he heard this, "Do you know my sons so well?"

Ji Chenxing immediately thought of the thick spine of the book, and replied insincerely, "Just a little bit."

Jun Heng spent a long time choosing among his sons, but he still couldn't find anyone he liked, so he asked Ji Chenxing, "Miss Ji, under which prince do you think Daliang will be more prosperous?"

Ji Chenxing lowered his head and suddenly asked, "How old is the Eighteenth Prince this year?"

"She is five years old now. She has found a special teacher and is now studying in the East Palace."

Jun Heng said.

"Then why don't we establish the Second Prince first, and then the Eighteenth Prince's studies will be half taken care of by you, and the other half will be taken care of by me, how do you think?
"If the Eighteenth Prince can become a capable person in the future, we can consider letting him become the emperor or assist the Second Prince. Is that okay?"

Ji Chenxing asked.

Jun Heng's heart was beating fast.

The conditions offered by Ji Chenxing were very tempting. If she could become the teacher of the Eighteenth Prince, then the Eighteenth Prince would be able to learn differently from others starting from the age of five, and his future accomplishments would surely surpass those of his brothers.

But while there are opportunities, there are also risks.

It’s good that Ji Chenxing is a teacher, but what if Ji Chenxing mixes his own ideas into his teaching and teaches Shiba some bad things?
If Eighteen really ascends the throne in the future, wouldn't he have to hand over the entire Daliang to Ji Chenxing?

Jun Heng was silent for a long time, and Ji Chenxing could see his worry.

"Forget it, think about it yourself, I don't have time."

Ji Chenxing looked at the countdown in the upper left corner of the live broadcast system. The time for this call was about to run out, and she didn’t have much time left in ancient times.

Jun Heng nodded, "If I promise you, will you come to teach Eighteen more often in the future?"

"It depends on the situation." Ji Chenxing answered truthfully.

She didn't say that in addition to the "exile" and "call" functions, the live broadcast system also has a "study abroad" function.

This "study abroad" function can bring people from ancient times to the modern era, and they can study or do other things without any restrictions.

Jun Heng's worries were not wrong. She used such good conditions to train the eighteenth prince, so she must have her own selfish motives.

Ji Chenxing looked at the countdown and said his final words to Jun Heng.

"That's all for today's call. I'll write down the plan and post it in the store for you later. As for the matter of the Eighteenth Prince, you can think about it again."
