Chapter 145 She Will Be Happy
"This……"
Ji Zunxing's forehead immediately broke out in sweat. He belittled Ji Chenxing because of personal grudges, and he simply didn't have any feasible methods.
Jun Heng stared at Ji Zunxing with his eyes fixed, his anger undiminished: "General Ji, speak."
Cold sweat dripped down Ji Zunxing's forehead.
He was only concerned with suppressing Ji Chenxing and never thought that Jun Heng would ask him for a solution.
Ji Zunxing knelt on the ground neatly, unable to utter a word.
"General Ji, as a general, do you still need me to teach you to think twice before you act?"
Jun Heng glanced at the ministers below from the throne, "After returning today, everyone should write a plan suitable for our Daliang regarding the 'College Entrance Examination'. Our imperial examination has gone through hundreds of years, and it is time to add something new."
Sitting on the throne, Jun Heng ignored the opinions of the ministers, whether they agreed or disagreed, and gave orders directly.
When everyone was worried about how to write what Jun Heng wanted, only Ji Zunxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Jun Heng's heart is on the college entrance examination, so he doesn't have time to punish himself.
Moreover, Jun Heng could not give him the solution he wanted, but if he used the answers of other ministers as a shield, then he would not have to be afraid.
Ji Zunxing thought so.
But before he could relax, he heard Jun Heng say, "General Ji, Ji Chenxing is your daughter. Your daughter has done well, so she should be rewarded, right?"
Since ancient times, the minds of emperors have been unpredictable. Ji Zunxing didn't know what Jun Heng was going to say, so he could only nod blankly.
Jun Heng glanced at Ji Zunxing and said, "Yes, I should give her some reward. What do you think it should be, General Ji?"
The reward was a good thing. Ji Zunxing was not so scared anymore, and the tense expression on his face eased a lot.
"I dare to ask if Your Majesty would like to reward Ji Chenxing?"
Jun Heng didn't keep Ji Zunxing in suspense and said bluntly, "Yes."
"Then... give me some money as a reward?" After Ji Zunxing said this, he himself was not sure.
All the people of Ji Chenxing are dead. What’s the use of giving them a reward of money? It should be left for the living.
As expected, Jun Heng shook his head after listening.
"Money is just a thing outside of our body. I am thinking, how about giving her a title?"
After Jun Heng finished speaking, the way the ministers in the court looked at Ji Zunxing changed.
Including but not limited to suspicion, envy, jealousy, but all kinds of emotions were cast on Ji Chenxing.
If you listen carefully, you can even hear the ministers whispering among themselves, "General Ji really gave birth to a good daughter."
The expressions on Ji Zunxing's face kept changing, which was very exciting.
Not to mention in Daliang, there were few women who could be granted official titles and honors. Even those ladies of the rank of noble consorts were honors that the male members of the family had worked hard for their entire lives.
Ji Chenxing is only eighteen years old this year, and the fact that the emperor personally proposed to "give her a title" has already demonstrated her noble status and unlimited future.
Ji Zunxing was proud for a while, but after the excitement, he suddenly felt disappointed.
What does it matter if the title is higher? Even if Ji Chenxing is named a princess, what does it matter? Ji Chenxing is already dead, and it is nothing more than re-holding a funeral for her according to the ceremony of this title, and there will be no other changes.
Moreover, even if Ji Chenxing could really come back from another world, so what? Judging from Ji Chenxing's attitude towards him, the higher her status, the worse it would be for him.
Not to mention Shen Ruyan and Ji Xueyao who joined forces to harm Ji Chenxing. The higher Ji Chenxing's title is, the more difficult life will be for Ji Xueyao and Shen Ruyan when she comes back.
Whether for his own sake or for Ji Xueyao and Shen Ruyan, Ji Zunxing didn't want Ji Chenxing to have any title.
Ji Zunxing's expression was mixed with embarrassment and excitement. "Your Majesty, if you want to reward Ji Chenxing, I think it is not necessary. After all, she is no longer here..."
Jun Heng showed no emotion, and made no comment on Ji Zunxing's words.
But he could see that from the beginning to the end, Ji Zunxing had no intention of letting Ji Chenxing suffer any loss.
Whether it happens on the battlefield or in the backyard.
Jun Heng couldn't quite figure out what Ji Zunxing was thinking.
Who among all parents in the world doesn’t want their sons to become successful and their daughters to become outstanding? Ji Chenxing is also his daughter, so how could anyone not want his child to become better and better?
"What does General Ji mean?" Jun Heng asked.
He really wanted to hear Ji Zunxing's ideas.
After Jun Heng asked, an embarrassed smile appeared on Ji Zunxing's face.
"Your Majesty, what I mean is that Chen Xing's title does not necessarily have to be given to Chen Xing."
Ji Zunxing seemed to have thought of a perfect solution for himself and was quite excited.
Jun Heng frowned slightly, "Why don't I understand what General Ji said?"
Ji Zunxing chuckled to cover up his embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, you also know that Chen Xing is no longer with us. To be honest, anything you give her is empty. She has no use for it."
Jun Heng frowned slightly. Ji Zunxing was a rough man, so sometimes his words were rough and very unpleasant to the ear.
If Jun Heng had not known his character for a long time, and if it were not for the fact that Jun Heng had not already known his character, and if it were not for the fact that now was a time when people were needed due to internal and external troubles, and if Ji Zunxing had fought in wars for so many years and was Ji Chenxing's biological father, he would have been beaten with a few sticks and sent back to recuperate.
Before Ji Zunxing finished speaking, he saw that Jun Heng did not express any objection, so he spoke again:
“Your Majesty, although Ji Chenxing is gone, Xue Yao is still here.
"Xueyao is Chenxing's biological sister. When Chenxing was alive, he doted on Xueyao... If Your Majesty gives Chenxing's title to Xueyao, not only will it be of great use to Xueyao, but Chenxing will also be very happy when he knows about it."
After Ji Zunxing finished speaking, he lowered his head, as if he was pleading for someone, with a righteous look on his face.
After hearing this, the ministers nearby also began to criticize Ji Zunxing.
Although they didn't know how deep the Ji family's waters were, they could see at a glance what Ji Zunxing was planning.
Jun Heng also frowned.
He didn’t know whether Ji Chenxing was happy or not, but if this was really the arrangement, then Ji Zunxing and Ji Xueyao’s family would definitely be happy.
Jun Heng felt that the relationship between Ji Chenxing and Ji Zunxing's family was not as good as Ji Zunxing said. No matter what, Ji Xueyao and Shen Ruyan were the enemies who wanted Ji Chen's life.
Jun Heng raised a sarcastic smile.
He also suddenly realized that his general was really stupid.
"In my opinion, General Ji, your arrangements did not take Chen Xing into consideration at all. They were all for your own benefit, right?
"Don't you ever think about it? If one day Chen Xing really comes back and asks me for this position, how will I answer?"
