Looking at the confident Wan Kuan, Li Shiming felt as if he was looking at himself from more than ten years ago.
He was hot-blooded, full of ambition, young and heroic. He destroyed Xue Ju, broke Gan Liang, took Luoyang, and captured Dou Jiande alive. It felt like it was just yesterday!
The more Li Shimin looked at Wan Kuan, the more he liked him. Parents always liked children who followed their imaginations!
"Boss, your talent is extraordinary. Why do you stay in this restaurant all day? Why not become an official and serve the Imperial Court?"
Li Shiming was a father after all. Seeing his son so talented, how could he stay here silently?
Wan Kuan was smiling, but he was thinking about something in his heart. I'm willing to stay in the restaurant. What can you do? If you weren't so old, I would have kicked you out long ago.
"Sir, I'm still young and haven't taken the examination yet, so I'll have to wait a few years before I can serve the court!”
"With Boss's talent, do you still need to take the exam? Directly entering the court as an official, he would probably be able to obtain a place in the Ministry of Central Affairs!”
Li Shimin's words made Wan Kuan frown. Was it so easy to be an official?
"Sir, I appreciate your kindness. However, this imperial court does not belong to your family. Whether you become an official or not, it is not up to you and me to decide!”
He wasn't the emperor, why did he ask so much?
Wan Kuan was tactful, but Li Shimin smiled in his heart. If the imperial court doesn't belong to our Li family, who else can it belong to?
"If the boss wants to become an official in the court, I can introduce you to him!”Li Shi Min said.
In fact, Li Shimin thought that it would be difficult to summon Wan Kuan back to the palace. However, he could first give Wan Kuan some glory and wealth, and save the emperor's son from wandering among the people!
Wan Kuan curled his lips. What a self-righteous fellow. Who are you?
Li Shimin saw the disdain on Wan Kuan's face and felt a little uneasy. It seemed that Wan Kuan didn't believe his words at all. A king's words were not a joke. Did his words have no weight?
"Boss, don't you believe me?" Li Shi Min asked.
"You have great power, sir. I believe you." Wan Kuan smiled. However, my ambition is high, and ordinary official positions are not in my eyes.”
"Oh? What official position does the owner want?"
Wan Kuan was also unhappy when he saw Li Shimin's incessant questioning. I've already given you a way out, but you're still asking. Since that's the case, I'm deliberately humiliating you!
Wan Kuan closed the folding fan in his hand and said,"This one has lofty ambitions. Only the three provincial governors and the six ministers can display the ambitions in my heart.”
Wan Kuan thought that the middle-aged man opposite him would be so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. However, Li Shi Min fell into deep thought.
Seeing Li Shiming's thoughtful look, Wan Kuan felt even more disdainful. There was one who was pretending to be a big wolf and was still thinking as if he could make the decision.
"Only I can be the chief of these three provinces. Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and Xiao Yu are all capable officials. It's not appropriate to dismiss them rashly!”
Li Shiming was in a difficult position. Wan Kuan just crossed his arms and looked at Li Shiming with a frown.
I said you're fat and you're panting. Let's see how long you can act!
Li Shi Min continued,"Minister of War Li Jing, this is a famous general of the Tang Empire." Moreover, you're too young. The Ministry of War won't be able to suppress those arrogant soldiers!”
Wan Kuan saw that Li Shimin was acting so enthusiastically, so he decided to follow suit!
"If the Ministry of War can't do it, then the Ministry of Personnel Affairs can too!”Wan Kuan said.
"The Ministry of Personnel Affairs is also out of the question. The Ministry of Personnel Affairs is in charge of all the officials in the world. Gao Shilian is old, mature and prudent, and cannot be replaced!”
"Chen Shuda of the Ministry of Rites is an old minister of the South, and he knows the most about etiquette." Dai Zhou of the Ministry of Justice was upright and no one could replace him. That leaves the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works!"
After Wan Kuan heard this, he laughed in his heart, but he sighed on the surface."If there's no other way, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works will do!”
"But the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's money and grain, and the Ministry of Works is in charge of the construction of the four directions. Although these two didn't depend on age, one had to be really capable.”
Li Shimin looked at Wan Kuan and said,"Although you have extraordinary talent, you still lack experience! These two movies won't do!"
Wan Kuan pursed his lips after hearing this. He had made it sound so lively, but in the end, he still couldn't do this or that.
"Sir, what's so difficult about the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works? If this one is in charge, I can guarantee that the Imperial Court will have enough rations, supplies, war horses, and weapons this winter!”
Wan Kuan wanted to embarrass Li Shiming, so he was pressing him. He wanted to see how Li Shiming would answer him.
Li Shi Min was shocked when he heard this. Although he had already heard from Fang Xuanling that Wan Kuan had guessed that the Imperial Court would attack the Turks this year, he was still surprised to hear this.
"You know that the Imperial Court is going to attack the Turks?”
Wan Kuan looked at Li Shiming's surprised expression and thought to himself. Although the middle-aged man in front of him liked to brag, he seemed to be a rather important person in the imperial court. Otherwise, he would not have such an expression.
Thinking of this, Wan Kuan smiled faintly." It's just a wild guess. Please don't take it to heart!"”
Li Shi Min's heart hardened. His father's plan was so well-hidden, but you actually guessed it! How can I not ask clearly?
