Chapter 592 Military Power
Emperor Shunyu was stunned for a moment, then snorted: "How can this matter be brought to him again!"

The second prince said: "Father, think about it. Ever since he entered the capital, there have been frequent accidents in the capital. If the court is to be stable, it is better to let King Pingnan return to the southwest as soon as possible."

Emperor Shun Yu glanced at the disappointing second son, and said: "Is it because of others that what happened to you and the third son? Isn't it because you didn't control what happened to those people under you? It depends on others! "

However, Emperor Shunyu also felt a little strange.

It happened that after King Pingnan came to the capital, some prominent officials in the capital frequently had accidents.

If it is true that it has nothing to do with Pingnan Wang Hao, it cannot be justified.

But there was no evidence for this, and he couldn't arrest King Pingnan for questioning.

Emperor Shunyu put his hands behind his back, glanced at the two unfilial sons, and said: "He just got married, and he came to ask for an order a few days ago, asking me to keep him in Beijing for a while, and it is said that Beihou's daughter just married If he goes back to the southwest with him like this, he might not be used to it, I have already agreed."

The emperor's words have already been spoken, so there is no reason to take them back.

The second prince said with a bitter face: "Well, the Marquis of Dingbei may not be willing to give up his newly married daughter, and there is nothing wrong with King Pingnan's request to stay in Beijing for her."

After all, when the marriage was just settled, Marquis Dingbei came to ask the Holy Majesty to withdraw his orders.

He said that he was reluctant to let his daughter leave home and go to such a far place.

Now Emperor Shunyu felt a little guilty towards Marquis Dingbei, so it was understandable that he agreed to King Pingnan's request.

The second and third princes came out of the palace respectively. The two of them didn't want to see each other, and they didn't have time to compliment each other. They got into the carriage and went back to their respective homes.

……

In the evening, Shen Chenlan opened a small notebook at home and recorded what happened in Beijing recently.

He opened a certain page and crossed out the household department and the criminal department on the paper.

The official department in front has already been crossed.

Today, among the six ministries, there are still the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry.

Shen Chenlan pointed to the remaining three parts.

The Ministry of Rites is under the supervision of Li Chenlan, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and it is fairly clean. Song Zhicheng has been in it for so long, but he has not noticed anything unusual.

Moreover, the Ministry of Etiquette is generally composed of old antiques that abide by the etiquette. Generally speaking, it is really not so easy for the prince's hand to reach this place.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are left, which the princes have always wanted to hold in their hands.

The real power of the Ministry of War has always been in the hands of several generals on the border, Dingbeihou and Pingnanwang, and some other generals who are not as famous as these two big generals.

In fact, the military department in Beijing has no real power, and is generally only responsible for dispatching military salaries, food and grass.

Even the Jinwu Guards who guard the imperial city are only dispatched by the emperor.

It's no wonder that the third prince was anxious to plan to kidnap Dingbeihou's little grandson on Huadeng Street in order to win Dingbeihou's support.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

In the end, the second daughter of Marquis Dingbei also married King Pingnan.

Shen Chenlan's eyes fell on the three words Pingnan Wang, thoughtful.

When I was not an official before, I didn't think about these things, but now I am frequently involved in the court situation.

It also made him have to think about some things.

Among the current sons of the emperor, the second and third princes are undoubtedly the most fierce fighters, and they are also the ones who seem to be the most likely to become emperors.

To be honest, Shen Chenlan felt that for him to work for such a person, it would be better to go to a local place and become a small official than to stay in Beijing and play with those intrigues.
