The cold wind whistled in my ears, as if it were a deep whisper.

Su Wuming walked through the courtyard of King Di's mansion that looked like a depression, and finally came to the place where King Di lived, which was a golden place, guarded by guards all around, Su Wuming stopped and shouted to those guards: "Su Wuming came to ask to see the prince." ”

A guard glanced at Su Wuming, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, but even so, he hurriedly ran in, and after a while, the guard waved his hand to Su Wuming: "Go in!" ”

Surrounded by many guards, Su Wuming entered King Di's living room, and at this time, King Di was already waiting, after he saw Su Wuming, he didn't wait for Su Wuming to salute, and hurriedly waved his hand to invite Su Wuming to sit down, and asked, "What did Lord Su investigate?" ”

Su Wuming shook his head: "Not for the time being, Xia Guan came to see the prince this time, and he has something to verify." ”

King Di frowned slightly, but he was not angry, and asked, "What do you want to verify?" ”

"That's the case, today the lower official asked Nie Zhiwen, he said that on the night when Miss Danfeng was killed, he went to the Assassin's Mansion, and said that he was ordered by the prince, I don't know if that's the case?"

King Di glanced at Su Wuming, and had no intention of concealing it, nodded and said, "That's right, it's true." ”

Seeing that King Di didn't mean to explain, Su Wuming didn't know how to ask for a while, and after a slight pause, he continued to ask: "Does the prince think Nie Zhiwen may be the murderer?" ”

When King Di heard this, his brows condensed slightly, and he said coldly: "Nie Zhiwen is the king's staff, and the king believes in him." ”

Hearing that King Di was a little angry, Su Wuming didn't ask anything else, and immediately got up to leave, and at this time, King Di suddenly asked: "Lord Su, since there are only you and me here today, why don't we sit down and talk about something else?" ”

Su Wuming's heart sank, hesitated slightly, and said: "At the moment of the murder, the lower officials think that it is better to investigate the murder case first. ”

King Kedi smiled lightly: "The murder happened in the king's mansion, and the king is also in a hurry, but it's useless to be in a hurry about some things, so let's talk about it first." ”

King Di seemed to have to talk to Su Wuming, but Su Wuming couldn't, so he had to sit down again and said, "I don't know what King Di wants to talk about with Xia Guan?" ”

King Di smiled: "Originally, this king has always wanted to have a good relationship with Lord Su, but through the observation of the past few days, this king found that Lord Su has no intention of forming a gang, since this is the case, this king will not force you, but if you suddenly figure it out one day and want to come to this king, this king is absolutely welcome." Speaking of this, King Di glanced at Su Wuming, then smiled again, and said: "Since this king is no longer ready to woo you, then let's talk about something else, why don't we talk about the current situation in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Hearing that King Di wanted to discuss the government with him, this made Su Wuming's heart sink even more, so he hurriedly said: "Xia Guan has only been in the capital for a month or two, and he has been wandering around since then, I am afraid that he will not be able to grasp the situation in this court." ”

King Di smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you just have to say it, there is an ancient saying, travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books, Su Da has no doubt that he is talented, and this ten thousand miles of travel, Su Da also has it, in this case, you must have different ideas and views from those laypeople." ”

Forced by King Di like this, Su Wuming didn't know what to say, for a while, Su Wuming's face showed embarrassment, King Di saw this, and said: "Now in the court, Li Deyu has won the emperor's holy grace, and almost all matters in the court and the central government have come to him to discuss, presumably Niu Zengru**, most of them have been reprimanded, what is Lord Su's opinion on this matter?" ”

Su Wuming didn't expect that King Di lived far away in Hangzhou, and he knew so much about the affairs of the court, thinking that he had planted a lot of spies in the capital, and at this time, Su Wuming was also a little glad that he didn't speak, otherwise as soon as he opened his mouth to say these things, this King Di must have doubted himself, how did he know so clearly about the affairs of the capital, he had to suspect that he was also often planting spies.

If King Di really thinks like this, I am afraid that he will feel that this Su Wuming may not be able to stay, and a small Dali Temple Sizhi is always paying attention to the movements of the court, no matter who he is, he will feel shocked.

However, if this is the case, Su Wuming will shout that he is wronged, because the reason why he understands the development of power in the capital is only because he is a descendant.

After rejoicing, Su Wuming smiled lightly and said: "Above the court, it has always been ever-changing, maybe those who are powerful today may be defeated tomorrow, which is even more true for those court ministers, although Li Deyu is in power now, I think he is only afraid that he will not be proud for a few years, what does the prince think?" ”

King Di was silent at first, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "But now Li Deyu's power is indeed not small, I am afraid it is not easy to make him lose power." ”

Su Wuming naturally knows this, but he knows better that Li Deyu's powers were given by the emperor back then, but if the emperor is gone, he is afraid that these powers will disappear like a mirror.

Of course, Su Wuming knew the truth, but he couldn't say it, and if he said it, it would be a crime of blasphemy against the king, so Su Wuming smiled lightly: "What the prince said is right, it's too simple for the lower officials to think." ”

King Di didn't expect Su Wuming to take his mistake first, which surprised King Di, but soon, King Di smiled lightly and continued to ask: "Now the partisan dispute in the court is very powerful, even the Li Shen Li who wrote every grain is very enthusiastic, almost the entire court is entangled by various forces, what does Lord Su think of this kind of partisan dispute?" ”

Su Wuming frowned slightly, and began to hesitate in his heart, in fact, if he was an official, he was afraid that there would be no benefit in this partisan dispute, because the parties competed with each other, and they would often frame other people by unscrupulous means for their own interests.

But compared with the emperor, they are very fond of partisan disputes, at least the partisan disputes can contain each other's power in the court, avoiding the dominance of one party, so that the emperor's position will be more stable, but if the emperor does not have the power to control these partisan disputes, then these partisan disputes are only afraid that they will become more and more intense, and may eventually shake the foundation of the country.

The reason for the turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty was that in addition to the restlessness of the vassal kings in various places, there was also the fact that the emperors of the current dynasty could not control the partisan disputes, so that the parties in the court and China competed for power and profit, and the result was that they harmed others and the interests of the country.

Su Wuming quickly thought of these situations after hearing King Di's words, and after thinking of these, he felt that these facts could not be answered, no matter how he answered, it was a little unpleasant, if he said that he didn't like partisan disputes, but the King Di in front of him was obviously very enthusiastic. But if it is said that the partisan struggle is good, this king will inevitably involve the problem again in the matter of subjugating himself to him.

After thinking about it, Su Wuming hurriedly replied: "There are pros and cons to partisan disputes, the advantage is that the parties can contain each other and make the imperial power more stable, while the disadvantage is that the parties compete for interests with each other and some innocent people everywhere are implicated because of this, which may eventually shake the foundation of the country." ”

After listening to this, King Di nodded slightly, because Su Wuming's words made him difficult to play, so he had to ask another question: "Although the current court situation is stable, everyone knows that this is only a superficial phenomenon, in fact, it is already very unbearable inside, although the emperor wants to make great efforts to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty, some measures have indeed worked, but the emperor also likes to take pills and want to live forever like the previous emperors, Lord Su is a smart person, You should know the harm of that elixir, so ......" Speaking of this, King Di paused slightly, and he saw that Su Wuming did not have any abnormalities, so he continued: "Therefore, the emperor's health should not be very good, and now the emperor's eldest prince is not yet ten years old, if there is a sudden change in the imperial city, who does Lord Su think can inherit the unification?" When he said this, King Di suddenly smiled lightly: "There are only two of you and me here today, and no third person will know what you say, if you have any thoughts, you might as well say it directly." ”

King Di's words are indeed very unsuitable to say in front of outsiders, Su Wuming heard King Di's words, and his heart sank, of course, like what King Di said, Su Wuming also knew about these situations, but he knew it, but he couldn't say it.

"The prince really looks down on the lower officials, not long after the lower officials entered the Dali Temple, even the officials of the Dali Temple are not very clear, let alone the affairs of the unification of the court."

Su Wuming's answer to King Di seemed to have been expected, but after listening to Su Wuming's words, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Since Mu Zong, the succession to the throne of my dynasty is mostly decided by eunuchs, which is unique in any dynasty, and it really makes me and other royal family members chill!" Saying that, King Di couldn't help but sigh again, and said: "This king has the heart to change this situation, but this king is in this city of Hangzhou, and he can't return to Beijing without the emperor's order, and he really can't do anything about those eunuchs, and he still wants to ......" Speaking of this, King Di suddenly realized that he had said too much, and after sighing, he shook his head: "Master Su should go down and handle the case." ”

After Su Wuming heard King Di's words, he got up again and again, and then immediately left King Di's residence, but after leaving, Su Wuming's heart was a little uncomfortable, of course, not because King Di was still thinking about retracting him, but after listening to King Di's words, Su Wuming, the head of Dali Temple, suddenly understood the pain of these royal personnel, and the throne was decided by eunuchs, could it be that the Tang Dynasty became those eunuchs?
