Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 584 Calculation
Although King Pingnan's voice was not very loud, his subordinates were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their backs in just an instant.

He lowered his head, respectful again, and said: "My lord, please make amends, it's true...it hasn't been found out."

"Get the punishment yourself." King Pingnan's voice was not salty, and he picked up the scroll again.

"Yes." The subordinate replied, but stood still.

"Still leaving?" King Pingnan said coolly without raising his eyes, "Do you want to get an extra share?"

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "My lord, the source of this rumor has not been found out, but the second and third princes who are now in the same position in the court will not let you go easily. They are afraid... ... guess you have a different heart."

Wang Pingnan said: "So what?"

The subordinate said: "The second and third princes are not easy to deal with. They have been fighting in the court for so long, and they have not been able to distinguish who is superior. Now that the prince has become their enemy, they will definitely unite to deal with you. When the time comes, you will be in Beijing. It's even more difficult. I don't know when the day of returning to the southwest will be delayed."

King Pingnan paused, and said: "When you checked the source of the news, did you check the other princes?"

The subordinates were stunned for a while, with a bit of embarrassment on their faces. Presumably they hadn't checked in this direction.

"The person who wants to release this news wants to use this king's hand to make the second and third princes focus on this king and have no time to take care of other affairs, so as to reap the benefits of being a fisherman." Pingnan Wang said lightly, " The two princes are convinced, it seems that the king will be busy for some days."

The subordinate couldn't help but said: "My lord, then we haven't done those things, how can we bear such an injustice?"

"Since you didn't do it, then sit down." King Pingnan said softly.

"This..." The subordinate was puzzled.

"Left and right are things that cannot be explained clearly. Even if you go to the two princes to prove your innocence, they may not believe what you said." Wang Pingnan said.

"But..." The subordinate didn't understand, "Don't we have to go back to the southwest quickly, why are we still confused with the people in Beijing?"

King Pingnan gathered the scrolls together, and said: "I have been confused for a long time. Now that I have decided to enter the capital, I know it well. Take the portrait of the noble lady in Beijing sent by the emperor, and I will take a closer look at it."

The subordinate was surprised: "My lord, what is this?"

Wang Pingnan said: "If this marriage fails, the emperor will not let me go back to the southwest. Now that the second and third princes are afraid, it will be even more difficult to go back to the southwest."

"Then the prince is going to wrong himself and marry those women in Beijing?" The subordinate felt that it was not worth it.

From his point of view, these women in the capital are all of one mind with the people in the court. Even if they follow their prince back to the southwest, they will only think about their mother's family in the capital.

King Pingnan said indifferently: "Sooner or later, you will get married. It's just a compromise early or late. Since there is no choice, this king must at least choose one carefully."

The subordinate felt unworthy for King Pingnan, and said: "If this is really the case, we would not have entered Beijing in the first place."

King Pingnan shook his head: "If you don't enter the capital, you will meet with soldiers."

Speaking of this, King Pingnan narrowed his eyes and said, "However, sooner or later there will be a battle, but now is not the time."

The subordinate couldn't help guessing: "Could it be the rumors that the emperor deliberately released in order to force you to get married?"

King Pingnan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "You have such a brain... the emperor is probably just fueling the flames, but the person who released the news is someone else. This plan is a clever one. It has schemed against so many of us, and it is still hard to guess. "

The subordinate wanted to say more, but was interrupted by King Pingnan: "You go and receive the punishment, don't talk too much."

"Yes." The subordinate could only shut up, turned around and retreated.
