That's right, Wang Ben was shocked.
This was because Jiang Yue's words just now were personally told to him by his father, Wang Jian.
When Wang Jian led his army to attack the Chu Kingdom, he didn't move his troops at the border, but instead, he asked Qin Shihuang for money and beauties. Wang Ben was so angry that he wrote a letter to Wang Jian, saying that he was threatening His Majesty. What if His Majesty was really angry?
However, after Wang Jian returned in triumph, he started scolding Wang Ben and the others.
"What do you know, kid? That's my life-saving method! Otherwise, do you want me to be the second Lord of Wu 'an, Baiqi?”
He did not expect that this young man in front of him was actually able to completely guess his father Wang Jian's thoughts at such a young age!
"Ke ke, as Mister has said, this Wang Jian is really very crafty.”
"That's…"
Jiang Yue smiled." He's not cunning. There's a possibility of him becoming the second Lord Wu 'an, Baiqi. After all, his contributions were too great and his reputation was too great. How could he enjoy his old age now? Of course…in the end, a wise ruler and a capable minister were indispensable. If the First Emperor was that kind of narrow-minded ruler who could not differentiate right from wrong, would he, Wang Jian, dare to do this? If he did that, he might really be punished later.”
"Wise ruler, capable minister…"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was delighted. It seemed that he could be considered a wise ruler now?
For some reason, Ying Zheng felt very pleased to be able to gain Jiang Yue's approval. It was even more comfortable than being worshipped by all the officials.
"So…"
Ying Zheng came back to his senses and asked," According to your words, Sir, that Wang Jian is so slick, so he won't intercede for Li Si?”
"Yes."
Jiang Yue said," First of all, Wang Jian is already in his twilight years. Isn't it good for him to enjoy his twilight years? He definitely didn't want to make his presence known anymore! Furthermore, if he were to plead for Li Si, he would have to refute the Right Prime Minister Feng Quji and the other ministers. Who was Wang Jian? Did he have to do this for Li Si?”
"That makes sense…"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng gave a bitter smile.
Wang Ben's face turned red and he looked embarrassed.
They were right. His father would probably not get involved in this mess.
"Then, is there really no way?”
In the end, Ying Zheng cherished Li Si's talent very much.
Wouldn't it be a great pity if such a talent was wasted?
"As for the solution…"
Jiang Yue smiled." It's not that there isn't, but it's unrealistic..."
"Tell me about it?"
"I say, Old Zhao, why do you seem to have crawled into a hole and insist on getting to the bottom of it?”
When Jiang Yue heard that, she immediately asked curiously," What's wrong? Li Si, are you a relative?”
"How is this possible…"
Ying Zheng smiled dryly." My surname is Zhao, and his surname is Li. We are completely unrelated…I was just bored, so I asked. Sir, didn't you say that we should chat?”
"En, that's true…"
Jiang Yue smiled." However, you're so interested in the matters of the imperial court. It's a pity that you don't become an official.”
"Sigh, there's nothing to pity…"
Ying Zheng smiled and said," As an official, I also feel very uncomfortable…Sir, you said just now that there are some ways to save people…Then, what is it?”
"Alright, I have nothing to do anyway. I'll brag to you.”
Jiang Yue smiled and said," This method is on one person.”
"Who is it?"
"Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, Marquis Tong Wu!”
"Cough? Cough, cough, cough!"
Hearing Jiang Yue's words, Wang Ben coughed and spat out the meat in his mouth.
What the f * ck?
What did you say?
You mean me?
Why are you bringing this up?
"Old Wang, eat slowly."
Jiang Yue laughed." I'm talking about Wang Ben, not you, Wang Qing.”
"Yes, yes…"
Wang Ben coughed and smiled." I heard wrong, I heard wrong..."
You're talking about Wang Ben, but I'm Wang Ben!
Wang Ben thought to himself,"You haven't even come up with that idea yet, but why do I feel a chill down my spine?"
"Hehe, this servant is vulgar.”
Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Ben, who quickly lowered his head and started munching on his meat. Ying Zheng cupped his fists and said," Please continue, sir?" Does Wang Ben have any ideas?"
"Wang Ben's a blockhead, how many ideas can he come up with?”
"Wood…Wood?"
Wang Ben's face turned green when he heard that. Why was he a blockhead?
" Wang Ben has made great contributions to the country. He flooded Daliang and was even conferred the title of Marquis of Tongwu. He…"
As Wang Ben spoke, he glanced at Ying Zheng and shut his mouth in a hurry.
"That's right. I didn't mean it in a negative way.”
You already called me a blockhead. Isn't that a derogatory term?
Wang Ben thought to himself,"If His Majesty wasn't here, I would have to explain myself to you."
"Wang Ben's ability is definitely outstanding, but he's definitely not as good as his father.”
Jiang Yue smiled, and Wang Ben heaved a sigh of relief.
He was still convinced by these words.
"Although Wang Ben doesn't have many plans, he's a loyal man.”
Jiang Yue said," Moreover, he has always followed the First Emperor. He can be considered the First Emperor's personal follower! If he were to participate in this matter, he would have status and power. Most importantly, if he were to participate, the Emperor would not have any suspicions about the Wang Clan. Moreover, if he were to help, wouldn't that solve a headache for the Emperor?”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Hearing that, Ying Zheng nodded and said," You're right, sir. So, what should Wang Ben do?”
