Mu Bin sat alone in the quiet room, but he couldn't calm down. A heart that rises and falls, and has nowhere to place.

This day, Su Mo suddenly rushed into the Zhenfu Division to ask for someone, and he didn't even see it, so he directly drove him out. What this did did not fit the emperor's mind, he was really a little unsure.

As early as Wu Qing's time, he faintly felt that Su Mo was extraordinary. But at the time, I just thought it was extraordinary, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

But after a series of events happened, he looked at him again, but he couldn't help but take a cold breath and reposition it in his heart several times. The reason why this is so is that Su Mo's various actions make him look sideways, and second, and most importantly, as a royal guard, he can clearly feel that the emperor is different from this Su Mo.

Especially this time, the emperor directly ordered Cheng Minzheng to be released from the edict and transferred to the criminal department for acceptance.

What Cheng Minzheng has meritorious service to the society, and what monarchs and ministers get along with each other are all pretenses. The real reason is to convey kindness to that kid named Su Mo.

It is unbelievable that the Son of Huanghuang actually showed favor to a civilian. You say that Su Mo is not a commoner or a Qincha? Okay, the preacher sounds like an official, but it is clear to everyone that it doesn't count at all. At least, in the Ming Dynasty at this time, it really doesn't count.

But no matter what the official position is, even if Su Mo is a white body, this holy grace alone is more important than any official position. With such a person, is it really appropriate for Mu Bin to offend him?

To tell the truth, when Su Mo came to the door today, Mu Bin really struggled. Consider whether it is appropriate to meet Sumer's request. I don't dare to say that I will release him directly at his request, but at least let him meet the prisoner, which can be regarded as a favor.

But after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and vetoed this idea. Without him, he is the emperor's retainer, so he must be loyal to the emperor first. Otherwise, once he loses the emperor's trust, then he is nothing.

Su Mo certainly won the favor of the emperor, but didn't the emperor say anything on his face? What's more, this kid still sneaked back this time, as the eyes and ears of the royal family, it is already the limit if he doesn't take people directly. If he secretly colludes again....... Mu Bin will not think that his side will be clean, and there will be no eyeliner to stare at without the emperor's secret orders. I'm afraid that if there is a slight mistake, it will be a catastrophe.

Therefore, after all, he decided to follow the command in all actions. Without a clear order, he followed the normal procedure. Do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard sounds so powerful. In the past, the majesty of Jinyiwei was indeed domineering enough. However, Mu Bin clearly realized that those so-called majesty and so-called evil spirits were just passing clouds.

All the rights of Jinyiwei come from the emperor's thoughts. If the civil and military officials make a mistake, they will have to go through the triage of the three divisions and the collegiate discussion of the six departments, but if they make a mistake, they don't need any formalities at all, and the emperor will kill them directly, without the slightest scruples.

This is the retainer!

But even so, he never went too far. Among them, it is of course the reason why Emperor Hongzhi of this dynasty is kind and benevolent and consciously restricts the factory guards, but it has a great relationship with Mu Bin's own self-introspection at all times.

Jinyiwei is a retainer, the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and the eagle dog, so it is said that he should show his teeth and claws, and he should only move for the benefit of the Son of Heaven alone. In the words of the ministers of the DPRK and China, that is, it is necessary to be a pure minister and a sole minister.

But Mu Bin is sober enough, he knows that if he really wants to do that, then his fate is definitely not much different from his predecessors. For example, the original Ji Gang......

A house slave is a house slave, and the ruthlessness of heaven is not a joke. If he really did that, maybe the emperor would be happy, but once the time came, he would definitely not hesitate to throw him out to blame.

In that case, it will not only calm down the people's anger, but also win the support and praise of the government and the opposition, which is simply not too suitable.

Mu Bin didn't want to be that kind of stupid victim, so since he took charge of Jinyiwei, although he was strict and cold on the face, in fact, his subordinates were very measured and never overdone. In some cases, they will even secretly give some care to some of the people involved in the case. This also made him change the bad image of the former Jinyi Wei in the eyes of the scholars, and he was recognized by the ministers for the first time.

It is in line with this principle that when Su Mo came to make trouble today, although he did not release the water, he did not embarrass Su Mo much. Otherwise, is it really so easy to break through when Jinyiwei is really a prince? Zhang Yue, a British prince, has a good face, but that face can only be counted if he is given as a commander, and if he does not give it, then it is nothing, and no one can say a word.

After all, Zhang Yue is only the son of a British duke, and he has not really attacked the lord, which is one thing; second, even if the real British duke is coming, but this is the Yamen of Beizhen Fusi, who is only responsible for the Son of Heaven. No matter how high the British public is, he is not qualified to dictate.

Therefore, it is already a great favor for him to let the two of them go lightly and let them go.

However, when things are done, he is still a little unsure. It doesn't matter what others think, what matters is what the emperor thinks!

The emperor has something to ask for Su Mo, and if he refuses Su Mo so categorically, will it disrupt the emperor's arrangement? Will the emperor be angry?

On the other hand, to a certain extent, if he connived at Su Mo's intrusion, it can be regarded as the prestige and face of the royal family, will this make the emperor misunderstand and feel that he is selfish?

It's hard to grasp all the subtleties involved. Now this son of heaven is known for his benevolence and filial piety in the outgoing. Whenever the world mentions it, they all praise the benevolent monarch of the world. However, Mu Bin knew that this son of heaven was benevolent, but he was by no means the benevolence of the benevolent sect who was known for his benevolence in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty is really benevolent from the bottom of his bones, that is, he treats his opponents as much as possible from the perspective of benevolence. This is also why, after his death, even the enemy country at that time, Da Liao, whether from the Liao Emperor or his subjects, could not help but weep and mourn;

And his own Hongzhi Tianzi, his benevolence will only be revealed to those who are loyal to him. If he was made to think that he was an enemy, the cruel means would make him shudder to think about it.

Mu Bin has never forgotten how Emperor Hongzhi had just succeeded to the throne in the past, and how he ploughed the court and swept the holes to attack the ministers of Chenghua. That's called a crisp and ruthless one. If someone saw that scene at that time, who would associate it with the word "benevolence"?

Mu Bin closed his eyes slightly, thinking with a lot of emotion. When he was irritable, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and he was about to stop in front of the door, and then a voice called outside: "Governor, someone has come to the palace, there is a will." ”

Mu Bin was slightly suffocated, and hurriedly got up to open the door, but saw that it was his henchman Wei who was standing with his bow open. Seeing Mu Bin coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and approached, and said in a low voice: "Commander, it's Du Daguan who is here." ”

Mu Bin was taken aback, and his face was uncontrollably moved. With a slight nod, he took a few steps closer to his feet and headed straight for the front hall.

The emperor has a will, and in the past, the most he could do was to send a small yellow door to run around, but how could he have worked for Du Fu, a great god? It can be said that in the past ten years, Du Fu has been like the incarnation of Emperor Hongzhi. How big does it have to be for him to make a trip himself?

Mu Bin was a little uneasy.

"Oh, Du Daban, why did you come here in person? Bin greeted him late, guilty of sin. When he arrived in the front hall, Mu Bin saw the figure sitting in the hall at a glance, but it was not who Du Fu was. Before the hurried people arrived, the laughter and joy spread first. Holding his hands into fists, he stepped in while singing the promise of reparation.

In the hall, Du Fu's orange-peeled old face twitched slightly, and he put on a fake smile, and at the same time he got up to return the salute, and laughed sharply: "It's all for Your Majesty, why do you have a sin? The commander is polite." ”

Both of them are royal slaves, and they have a lot of intersections on weekdays, so they don't need to pretend like this. But after all, this is outside the palace, and neither of the two dares to be careless and show any excessive enthusiasm. Otherwise, what does a close servant of the Son of Heaven and a secret agent want to do if he is too close?

Yes, they played haha with each other and were polite, and then they went directly to the formal process. Du Fu turned around and stood at the top, while Mu Bin bowed slightly and stood still, holding his breath and waiting for his will.

However, Du Fu did not announce the decree immediately, but first glanced around, and said indifferently: "This is the decree of Mu Bin alone, and all irrelevant personnel will avoid it." ”

Mu Bin was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved his hand at everyone. Wei Chang and a few other guards didn't dare to slack off, and tiptoed to beckon a group of subordinates to leave in an instant. When he went out, he cautiously turned around and closed the door.

It wasn't until only Du Fu and Mu Bin were left in the room that Du Fu coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Okay, this holy will is an oracle, and the commander is good to listen to it, so there is no need to kneel to take it." After that, he took a step forward, attached it to Mu Bin's ear, and whispered.

Mu Bin was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly listened carefully. It's just that the more I listened, the more surprised I became, and in the end, my face was full of shock and disbelief, and I looked at Du Fu who took a half step back, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, but he didn't say a word in half a voice.

Du Fu saw it clearly, a touch of complexity flashed in his eyes, but he nodded again on his face, indicating that he had heard correctly.

Mu Bin let out a breath of air, as if he was about to vomit out all the shock. Then he closed his eyes vigorously and digested the will he had just heard, then he opened his eyes again, bowed down and said, "Minister, receive the decree." They will live up to the commandment of God!"

Du Fu laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, in this way, the miscellaneous family will leave first." After that, he raised his sleeves and pushed the door straight out, but he didn't stay for half a moment.

Behind, Mu Bin looked at the back of the old eunuch, his face full of complicated and indescribable meanings.
