"As the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Office, General Su is nominally the Grand Marshal of the nation's military forces. Why the authority of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief's Office has been reduced to such an extent requires General Su to think carefully."
The power of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies is great.
It is equivalent to the highest military command organ of the entire empire.
But it is precisely because this institution has too much power that it has been targeted by previous emperors.
As a result, the power of the Ministry of War was strengthened, and even the ministers of the Ministry of War did not consider officials with military backgrounds. This has been the default official practice of the Qin Dynasty for nearly a hundred years.
These things, in the final analysis, are the imperial power balancing the power of ministers.
In the age of peace and prosperity, a military command organization was controlled by a group of military personnel and took charge of the world's troops. This was something that no emperor could sleep on.
It is precisely because the power of the Fifth Army Governor's Office has been devolved that it almost exists in name only, so many of the restrictions within the army have actually become a dead letter.
This is not Su Zhenting's fault, but a problem accumulated in the entire Daqin system over the past hundred years.
But Su Zhenting did not explain, nor did he complain. He just said seriously: "I have indeed committed a crime of dereliction of duty. Starting tomorrow, I will rectify the military affairs and never do it again."
"good."
Li Chen nodded and said: "After Shangguan Zhao was executed, the post of Minister of the Ministry of War has been vacant. Now the imperial court needs to vigorously select talents. For the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, General Su will draw up a list of recommendations and I will examine them one by one."
He was given a big stick to remind Su Zhenting to always remember that the East Palace has the greatest authority and to be in awe.
Although Su Zhenting did nothing and his performance was very commendable. After the wedding, the most determined Donggong faction in the world must be headed by Su Zhenting. But as a superior, he must hit what needs to be beaten, regardless of the opponent.
Wrong, if you wait until there are signs before attacking, it will be too late.
After this big stick, Li Chen immediately gave him an extraordinarily sweet candied date.
The Ministry of War has always been a key core department established by the imperial power in order to divide the power of the five military governors. Now that Li Chen has asked Su Zhenting to select the Secretary of the Ministry of War, it can almost be said that all military power has been handed over to Su Zhenting.
This candied date is quite big.
It was both a reward and a test for Li Chen.
Su Zhenting remained calm when he heard this.
He realized that he could not take the candied date.
The post of Grand Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, equivalent to the Grand Marshal of the World's Armed Forces, was given to him. Although this was already a false title, most of the real power rested with the Ministry of War.
But if he takes over the Ministry of War again, what will everyone in the world think? Will the prince-in-law in front of him become suspicious?
Even if we don’t have it now, what about in the future?
The king's heart is hard to fathom, and that's where the difficulty lies.
But the prince asked him to draw up a list by name. He couldn't refuse this job, otherwise he would be too immature.
In just a short moment, Su Zhenting understood a lot, and he said: "My lord, I obey."
Life must come next, but how to draw up the list depends on wisdom.
Li Chen nodded, waved his hand and said, "It's already dark, I'm going back."
After saying this, he naturally reached out and took Su Jinpa's hand, and headed back to the East Palace.
Su Jinpa hesitated and turned to look at Su Zhenting, but Su Zhenting didn't look at her at all.
After pursing her lips, Su Jinpa didn't resist in the end and allowed Li Chen to lead him away.
After the prince got up and the large group of attendants left, Qianqing Palace immediately became deserted.
