Chapter 79: Sending Sun Wukong to the Western Heaven Would Be Good
His Majesty the Jade Emperor returned to Tongming Hall, accompanied by Taibai Jinxing.
"He always does things unexpectedly," the Jade Emperor said as he took off his crown and donned a moon-white robe, feeling very pleased.
"The Great Sage Equalling Heaven possesses both virtue and talent, and has repeatedly achieved remarkable feats. Indeed, he is greatly gifted," Taibai Jinxing, smiling, praised, then added, "However, this is also due to Your Majesty’s sagacity in discerning talent, promoting worthy ministers to high positions,
"In my opinion, Your Majesty and the Great Sage Equalling Heaven will become an example of a harmonious monarch-minister relationship, which will surely be widely celebrated throughout the Three Realms."
"Li Changgeng, Li Changgeng, that mouth of yours is all you have left," the Jade Emperor laughed heartily.
"Your servant thanks Your Majesty for the compliment!" Taibai Jinxing bowed deeply in respect.
"Then what position should I bestow upon Sun Wukong this time?" the Jade Emperor suddenly asked.
"This..." Grasping his beard, Taibai Jinxing pondered hard before speaking, "Your Majesty, I am too dull. I do not know. I am at fault."
As a servant, how could he make decisions for His Majesty?
The Jade Emperor knew his temperament well, and after reprimanding him with a pointed remark, he did not press further because he too had not made up his mind about which position to grant.
