"Why didn't you say something sooner if you had this intelligence!" Wang Jian did not speak, but Wang Ben stepped in to interrogate him.
It was difficult for Wang Jian to bring this up. After all, Li Xin’s father, Li Yao, held the same rank of Nine Ministers as he did, and he had to save face for him.

If he were to reprimand Li Xin, the civil official faction would easily perceive it as Wang Jian suppressing them, which would have grave consequences.
Therefore, it was more appropriate for Wang Ben to speak up—after all, he was still young.
