Midsummer came unconsciously, and the weather in Chang'an City was very hot.

After the three of them got into the carriage in Cheshire, they went directly to the largest inn in Chang'an City, the Tang Building.

The tenement building was prosperous as always, the three of them entered the private room, asked for wine and food, and then they talked, at first the three of them just talked about some inconsequential things, and did not involve work, so after three rounds of drinking, Su Wuming told Cheshire his thoughts, Cheshire nodded after listening, and said: "Lord Su, don't worry, this matter is on me, I will go to the government office later, and let them also help investigate." ”

Su Wuming bowed his head, and then drank freely.

Cheshire drank very violently, and soon became drunk, Su Wuming asked the little servant in Cheshire to help him go back, and then ate and drank with Di Bu at the inn, and at this time, Di Bu suddenly asked: "Master Su, you must be tired today, right?" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "When I first became the secretary of Dali Temple, I was really a little tired, and Master Di would have to help a lot in the future." ”

Di Bu shrugged, took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said: "Dali Temple is in charge of large and small cases across the country, if Lord Su is in charge of the whole screen, it will naturally not work, if Lord Su is far-sighted, he should cultivate more useful talents." ”

Hearing Di Bu say such a sentence, Su Wuming couldn't help but be stunned, in the officialdom, if he didn't have his own power, it was really a little difficult to move an inch, but this Di Bu was Li Deyu's person, why did he say these words to himself?

In order to avoid falling into the trap of others, Su Wuming smiled indifferently: "What Master Di said is right, it's just that cultivating talents should be a matter of the imperial court, if I go to cultivate talents, I will inevitably be said to be a gang." ”

Di Bu smiled lightly, poured a glass of wine for Su Wuming, and then said very unabashedly: "Master Su is in front of me, there is no need to be like this, in fact, what I mean is to put it bluntly, I want Lord Su to form a gang." ”

"This ......" Su Wuming was a little stunned for a while, he didn't expect Di Bu to say it so directly.

However, Su Wuming quickly calmed down, he glanced at Di Bu, and said with a smile: "Master Di asked me to form a gang, but what is the reason?" ”

"Of course there is a reason, but before I say the reason, I have a question for Master Su, that is, how much do you know about the current layout of the court?"

Su Wuming has the experience of later generations, and he naturally understands the layout of the court today, since Cao Man was killed and Qiu Shiliang was demoted, the power of the relatives and eunuchs has been greatly weakened, and the so-called Wang Ye Party, because of the arrest of King Xin, has also weakened a lot, and now the most powerful force in the entire court is only the Li Party.

Seeing that Su was nameless, Di Bu smiled: "Now, the Li Party in the entire court is the most powerful, and the emperor is also the most favored by Li Deyu, and in the future court, I am afraid that Li Deyu alone will have the final say, but if only Li Deyu has the final say in the entire court, will Li Deyu become the next Zhao Gao?" ”

Su Wuming frowned slightly, he has never been above the court, if a person's power is too large, it is often easy to cause imbalance in the court, and then lead to a lot of things, but Su Wuming really doesn't understand what Di Bu said to himself about what he was doing.

"Master Su must feel strange, it's Li Deyu's person below, why do you want to tell you this, isn't it?"

Su Wuming smiled: "Please also ask Master Di to make it clear." ”

Di Bu poured himself a glass of wine, put it on his lips and didn't drink it, after putting the wine glass down, he said: "It's very simple, for the comfort of Datang, I feel that Master Su should form his own party." ”

"If that's the case, other people should be more suitable than in Xia, who has just been promoted to Dali Temple, and has only been an official for two years, and Master Di has become a party in Xia, I'm afraid it's a bit overestimated."

Di Bu shook his head: "To form a party, it does not mean that you must have qualifications and experience, this depends on chance, and now Lord Su has this opportunity, and now the Lord is the most famous, and he has won the emperor's re-election, and it is not impossible to form his own force in the court!" ”

After Di Bu finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass he had just put down again, drank it all, and then immediately said goodbye, as if he had called Su Wuming today, just to enlighten Su Wuming.

The weather in midsummer is very hot, there are all kinds of noise in the tenement building, Su Wuming sits in the private room and drinks alone, Di Bu's words just now are not unreasonable, and even if he is not stable for the Tang Dynasty, just for himself, Su Wuming also feels that it is necessary to form a force of his own, otherwise he will not even have the right to speak in the court in the future.

But if you form a force of your own, will you be hit by other forces? Moreover, the emperor is not a person who likes to watch people form gangs, if he finds out that he has done this, will he persecute himself?

Jun's heart is unpredictable, and no one can guarantee whether Li Yan will suddenly attack Su Wuming, not to mention that compared to others, Su Wuming knows too many of the emperor's secrets.

I drank a lot of wine, but Su Wuming became more and more sober the more he drank, I don't know if it was because he drank too much or because the weather was too hot, and the wine he drank turned into sweat and volatilized.

When leaving the tenement building, the tenement building has already passed the most lively time, but in comparison, there are still a lot of guests inside, Su Wuming came out of the tenement building, was blown by the hot wind, couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, looked around to identify the direction, and rushed home in such a drowsy manner.

Su Wuming didn't know how he got home, he only remembered that he was in bed when he woke up, and there were three women beside the bed looking at him anxiously, and Nangong Yan was even more anxious and almost crying.

Su Wuming was a little puzzled and wanted to laugh, but he suddenly felt a pain in his head, and it was only at this time that he realized that he might be sick.

Wen Wan'er saw that Su Wuming woke up, and hurriedly said: "Xianggong, you lie down quickly, the doctor said that you have a cold, and you have to recuperate." ”

After coming to Datang for so long, Su Wuming remembered that this was the second time he was sick, the first time was the day he first came, it was because this body was already sick, and he thought that he would not be sick again, but he drank too much today and was blown by the hot wind, so he was still sick after all.

In the evening, Su Wuming felt better, so he asked Wen Wan'er to bring pen and ink, he wanted to write a recital, let people present it to the emperor, and said that he was sick, but he was afraid that he would not be able to go to the court, and he would have to take a few days off, but just when Su Wuming was thinking like this, those words of Di Bu earlier today suddenly appeared in his mind again.

If you hand over this vacation pass, will there be an official who will take advantage of the topic to play and say that he is not suitable to be a Dali temple secretary at all, otherwise why did he get sick after just half a day?

It's good if it's not suitable, if someone excuses him that he doesn't want to be this Dali Siqing so he pretends to be sick, then it's not good.

After thinking about it a few times, Su Wuming still gave up, only hoping that his illness could get better as much as possible.

In the middle of the night, it rained lightly, and the weather was a lot cooler, when Su Wuming woke up, he found Wen Wan'er lying on the head of the bed, her beautiful face looked so moving in such a night, Su Wuming sighed, pushed Wen Wan'er, and said, "Come up and sleep!" ”

"Do you feel better?"

Su Wuming nodded, and then gave Wen Wan'er a place.

The night was deeper, and the light rain was dripping, but Su Wuming suddenly couldn't sleep.

The next day, Su Wuming got up early, and then put on the official mansion and rushed to the palace, this was his first time in the morning court, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, and even made him more uncomfortable than yesterday's illness.

The light rain did not stop, ticking and ticking, the whole street was very lonely, except for the occasional meeting a few watchmen, there was no one else, when Su Wuming came to the palace, the other ministers had already come, but there were few people talking to each other, Su Wuming sat in the carriage and rested for a while, until he heard the eunuch shouting, then he hurriedly got out of the car, followed those court officials, and rushed in.

Su Wuming has also been to this hall a few times, only in this early court, he found that this place is so majestic, before the emperor arrived, it was very quiet, until the eunuch heard the emperor to break this silence, from the sudden resounding of the hall Long live long

After such a general procedure, Su Wuming already felt that he was about to collapse, but this was only the beginning of the early dynasty.

All kinds of questions were raised, and the emperor answered them one by one, Su Wuming stood below, feeling a little incredible, so early, he hadn't woken up yet, what national affairs could he discuss? Why don't you wait for breakfast and feel good about coming back to the morning pilgrimage?

The early dynasty lasted for almost an hour, and when the retreat came, the light rain had stopped, the sun had come out, and there was still mud on the road, but the whole Chang'an City was lively and vibrant.

There was a seller of soy milk on the side of the road, Su Wuming had been hungry for so long, so he couldn't care about the image of the minister, and asked for soy milk and fritters at the stall, until he finished eating, and then hurried to Dali Temple.

However, after doing this, Su Wuming found that his illness had improved a lot, and he was refreshed when he walked.

Entering Dali Temple, it was the various files that were too busy to come, Su Wuming looked at it for an hour, until this time, Cheshire hurriedly came and said that the clues related to the deceased had been found.

Solving the case is more interesting than looking at the mountains of texts, Su Wuming heard that there was news, and hurriedly returned the work to the two Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and then followed Cheshire and left Dali Temple in a hurry.

"Grandpa Guo, tell me quickly, what's going on?" After leaving Dali Temple, Su Wuming hurriedly asked.

Cheshire smiled: "After a whole day of investigation yesterday, we finally found clues related to the deceased in a small county called Qingfeng County. ”
