Chapter 573 A good show
After leaving the ghost market, the harvest this time was not ordinary.
Especially after catching the handle of Prince Zhang, even if he didn't use brute force, he could still stand up for the Qi family. This made Su Lin feel that it was the best solution.
They returned to Ding Pingzhou's house. Surprisingly, Ding Pingzhou came back faster than expected.
But at this moment, his face was full of sorrow and he kept sighing.
When he learned from Ding Wu that Su Lin and his party had returned, his expression eased a lot. He immediately opened the door of the study and ran out.
While running, he shouted, "Brother Su, you are finally here!"
At this moment, Su Lin was like his savior. Ding Pingzhou knew very well that he was in a mess now and was waiting for Su Lin's powerful strength to help him solve it.
He hugged Su Lin directly without any etiquette, and then invited him to the study and told Ding Wu to make tea.
"Brother Su came to the capital, I'm afraid there is something he wants to ask me for help?"
These scholars all know what it means to suppress before praising, and Ding Pingzhou's words are exactly this point.
He had something to ask of Su Lin, but it was not convenient to say it out loud. Instead, he fulfilled the other party's needs first and then proposed his own needs, so that the other party could not refuse.
This is the art of speaking.
Su Lin naturally saw this little trick, so he did not answer, but asked: "Brother Ding looks worried, is there something big happening in the court?"
For Su Lin, Ding Pingzhou was not scheming, just a little calculation that did not hinder him.
Seeing that his thoughts were shattered, he could only smile awkwardly and then explain what was happening recently.
It turned out that in the court now, three forces were quarreling and on the verge of a fight. The crown prince and the two princes were almost ready to mobilize troops if they disagreed.
The emperor that Ding Pingzhou was relying on was the weakest one.
The emperor relied on him, so almost all the power was piled on Ding Pingzhou. Now he was at least the executive vice emperor.
At least, except for those who had the intention of rebellion, he was the most legitimate one.
"Brother Su, since you are here this time, I have an unwelcome request, you must agree to it!"
At this point, Ding Pingzhou knelt down directly. This popular person in front of the emperor was so humble in front of Su Lin? This made the housekeeper Kong Jia stunned.
He couldn't help wondering, what happened between Lord Ding and Su Lin?
"What do you want me to do?"
"Help me kill the traitor!" Ding Pingzhou's words stunned everyone present.
This is a big deal! And for the current situation in the North Country, this is the highest secret. If it is leaked, it will be beheaded.
Su Lin and Chen Baixing don't care. Qi Zhenzhen and Banqiu are from the perspective of ordinary people. These law-abiding citizens are naturally afraid.
They wanted to cover their ears, but then they woke up. Since they followed Su Lin, they had no choice.
Faced with Ding Pingzhou's request, Su Lin was also helpless. How come he was almost an omnipotent god.
Why does everyone ask for his help when they have a little problem? He is not here to save all living beings, not to mention that his power is not enough now.
With the power of the Seven-Colored Lotus, it is easy to deal with some rebels.
But the things involved behind this are probably very troublesome, which is why he rejected Ding Pingzhou's invitation before. The depth of the officialdom is actually more terrifying than the law of the jungle in this cultivation world.
"Brother Ding, I'm afraid I can't fulfill this request."
Su Lin's euphemistic words almost cut off Ding Pingzhou's thoughts. He sighed helplessly and was helped up from the ground by Su Lin.
"Hey, it's no wonder that Brother Su, I finally know why you refused to enter the officialdom before."
At this moment, Ding Pingzhou can be regarded as a spiritual connection with Su Lin, and understands what he is thinking.
"However, I can accompany you to the court to see what kind of stuff those are."
Who knows, Su Lin's words took a 360-degree turn, which made Ding Pingzhou very happy, and Su Lin also said from the side that there is still a chance.
"Then let's go now!" He was even a little impatient.
The emperor had authorized him to enter and leave the palace at any time. Now Ding Pingzhou was a thorn in the eyes and flesh of most people.
In just a few days, he had been assassinated several times.
If time dragged on, things would only become more troublesome.
Su Lin did not refuse, but ordered Ding Wu and Chen Baixing to protect Banqiu and Qi Zhenzhen. He had a hunch that it was not safe in this Ding Mansion.
The two took a carriage and came to the palace.
Su Lin was shocked by the building in front of him. It was the first time he saw such a magnificent place. No wonder everyone wanted to be the emperor and hold the highest power. This life is good.
"I heard that the three elders of the Yunlan Sect and Jiang Yuyan of the Shenwu Sect will come to the court today. The emperor meant that I should win them over, but it's a pity..."
Ding Pingzhou expressed his displeasure with those cultivation sects along the way.
He was a scholar who rose to power through imperial examinations, so his thinking was naturally the same as what was recorded in the books. As for these large sects, he just felt that they were the reason for the dispersion of power in the Northern Kingdom.
"Their control over the secular world is really too deep."
Ding Pingzhou clenched his fists, wishing he could lead the army to wipe out the two major sects.
In response, Su Lin could only shake his head and smile.
What a naive idea.
It was not because of the dispersion of power that the two major sects came into being, but because of the existence of the two major sects, they gained power.
Ding Pingzhou completely reversed the cause and effect. When the court and the sects did not get along, there was only one result in the end, each playing their own game.
In fact, for example, Yunlan Sect and Shenwu Sect, they care more about the resources in the secular world. If they want to gain more powerful power through cultivation, they inevitably need to contact the society.
According to the records in the Encyclopedia of Cultivation, it is not that there have been countries managed by sects on this land of Shenzhou.
But in the end, because of their unlimited exploitation, the entire country was destroyed, which became an alternative.
"Yunlan Sect, Shenwu Sect, who do you think they will help?"
Su Lin wanted to know Ding Pingzhou's thoughts, but Ding Pingzhou was also confused at the moment. Perhaps, these two major sects would betray for the sake of interests?
But Su Lin thought, no!
Jiang Tai is now half of his own people, and Jiang Yuyan is also afraid of her own strength. I am afraid that there will be a good show in the court today.
