Chapter 1563: Like Grandpa
"Hey! It turns out that the husband is worried about this......! β
After learning the real reason why Wang Li's brows were tightly locked, Princess Ji Yan laughed helplessly, and said confidently: "The husband is brave and wise, whether it is training the Air Force or serving as the secretary of the Criminal Department, it is more than enough!" β
She was quite satisfied with her husband.
With the blessing of this filter, it must be full of confidence!
"Alas! How can it be that simple! β
Although he had the full support of his wife, Wang Li still frowned, and did not show a trace of joy.
The cases that can be submitted to the Criminal Department are not as simple as stealing chickens and dogs and taking sheep by the hand.
Once an unjust, false and wrongly decided case is negligently adjudicated, it will not only cause harm to a certain person, but may also cause varying degrees of harm to a family, or even multiple families, and the implications are widespread!
He really doesn't have confidence in himself!
"As for the affairs of the Criminal Department, I have heard about it when I have been drinking with Lao Kang all these years! If you want to handle the case smoothly, it is indeed not so easy, you need to be careful and patient, plus some special means! If every case were so easy, there would be no need for the Criminal Department......! β
After Wang Ben understood, he said: "Although you have not been in the Criminal Department for a long time, I think you are still qualified for the position of Shangshu!" β
"But Daddy ......"
"Your grandfather is smart and wise! Your father and I are faithful and heroic! Although you have not fully inherited your grandfather's wisdom, there must be some truth to being favored by His Majesty and staying by his side! β
ββ¦β¦β
Wang Li: Dad, are you praising me?
"Maybe you feel young and underqualified! But if you look at the other ones, since we retired, they have been replaced by young people! They can do a good job, why can't you? β
Wang Ben said.
"Daddy! It's not that I feel inferior to Han Xin and Zhang Liang, but I'm worried about living up to Your Majesty's expectations! β
Wang Li lowered his head, obviously lacking self-confidence.
"If Your Majesty agrees to transfer Lao Kang away and promote you to Shangshu, have you ever wondered why?"
Wang Ben sat on the chair leisurely, picked up the teacup, rubbed it twice, took a sip, and asked with a straight face.
"Huh? And why? β
It was rare to see his own Lao Tzu have such a serious appearance, Wang Li was stunned.
Isn't it that there is no one in charge of the Air Force, and Kang Anping is the most suitable candidate?
And after he left, did he elect himself to take over Shangshu?
"Humph! It seems that your brain is not only inferior to your grandfather, but even your father and I are not as good as ......! β
Looking at his son's naΓ―ve look, Wang Ben glanced at him helplessly, "Think about it carefully, since Your Majesty came to Xianyang and returned to the palace, have you ever done a useless thing?" Do you think Lao Kang has such a big face, whoever he promotes, His Majesty will definitely use? Don't say it's him, even if it's a candidate arranged by the Emperor, as long as His Majesty thinks it's not suitable, he won't give face! β
"Hmmm! Oh, yes......! β
Wang Li thought about it carefully, His Majesty is indeed such a character, "Then Dad, do you mean that Your Majesty may not agree to me as the secretary of the Criminal Department?" β
Thinking of this, his face suddenly relaxed a lot.
There is Shangshu, even if there is any mistake, there is Shangshu to check it, and he will have the bottom to do things.
But if he made a book, not only would no one check for him, but he would also have to close someone else, and he would always feel panicked!
"Alas! Your brain, you usually look quite enough, why is it that when things come to you, you can't see enough? β
Wang Ben was furious.
Looking at his son's current appearance, it is as if he saw himself back then.
I can't see through anything, I can't understand anything! Let people be anxious!
No wonder he was always scolded by his father when he was young!
"You can rest assured, as long as Your Majesty agrees to let Lao Kang take command of the Air Force, he will definitely let you be the secretary of the Criminal Department!"
"Why is Dad so sure?"
The king did not believe it.
And Wang Ben didn't answer the rhetorical question, "Can other officials of the Criminal Department have special skills?" β
"A ...... with special skills?"
Wang Li's eyes rolled a few times, pondered carefully, and finally shook his head, "The officials of the Criminal Department are conscientious, but there is indeed no one who is particularly outstanding!" β
"Is there anyone who has a particularly good relationship with His Majesty?"
Wang Ben continued to ask.
"Not really!"
Speaking of this, Wang Li smiled confidently.
Looking at the entire Criminal Department, he and Kang Shangshu have a good relationship with His Majesty.
The others are just ordinary monarch and minister relations, nothing special!
"Isn't that the ...... cut off?"
Wang Ben hugged his shoulders, and the old god said: "Since there is no particularly outstanding ability, how can Your Majesty let go of his henchmen and choose an ordinary person?" β
"Forehead ......"
Wang Li thought about it, it was indeed the case.
Although he has not been in the Criminal Department for too long, his ability is not inferior to anyone else.
Even a few squires who have served for many years can't compare to him.
Coupled with the relationship with His Majesty over the years, His Majesty is very likely to let him take over the position of Shangshu!
"Let me tell you this, since you returned from cleaning overseas with troops and served in the Criminal Department, you are destined to take over the post of Secretary of the Criminal Department sooner or later!"
Wang Ben simply stopped explaining and directly showdowned.
This matter can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye in the court, and only these inexperienced newcomers in the court can't see through it!
"What do you mean by that?"
For Wang Li, the experience in the court is indeed insufficient, and he can't see through this layer at all.
"Do you need to talk about that? Your Majesty has placed you in each ministry in order to let you know each ministry, accumulate experience, and wait for us old ministers to retire, so that we can take over smoothly! Lao Zhang and Lao Meng are old and retired early, so Han Xin and Zhang Liang will naturally be promoted early! And Lao Kang is young, you have to stay up for a few more years! β
For the turbulent dark tide of the court, these are simply duckweeds, nothing at all.
ββ¦β¦β
His understatement really shocked everyone present.
In their impression, Wang Ben should be a straightforward person who never thinks about things.
Princess Ji Yan has been married for a few years, and she knows relatively little.
But Mrs. Wang is different.
She has lived with Wang Ben for most of her life, and she knows him best.
Usually, Wang Jian tells him these things and analyzes all the things in the court.
never thought that one day, he would be able to tell the story and remove the obstacle for his son!
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wang Ben was uncomfortable by their strange eyes.
"Daddy! You just looked like a person! β
"Like whom? Who can be as brave as your father? β
"Like grandpa!"
As soon as Wang Li's words fell, Mrs. Wang and Princess Ji Yan nodded again and again.
Wang Ben was silent for a long time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he walked out of the room with his hands behind his back!
