The two heartless rammers are giggling at the moment, as if they are all right, completely unaware that because of today's events, the entire capital is turbulent and undercurrents are surging.

As the last embers of the setting sun were about to set, the sky was starting to get a little dark. In this darkness, several figures began to wander in the capital, entering and leaving some high-rise mansions from time to time.

In the mansion of the scholar Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang took a note presented by the old butler with an expressionless face, shook off the stones inside, squinted at the candlelight, his pupils shrank sharply, and then he didn't say a word, thinking about it;

At the same time, the six departments are in the middle of the matter, the left and right capital procuratorates, the thirteen imperial histories, the five temples and six departments and the twenty-four ya, all of which can be seen from time to time.

In the Honglu Temple Pavilion, Tululetu, who had not been able to see Su Mo today, was looking at the candle flame in a sullen daze, but suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside. Turning his head, a Golden Horde guard was striding over, staying in front of him, and whispering a few words, Tululetu's face suddenly changed greatly, and Huo Ran stood up.

After a while, the entire Mongolian Pavilion suddenly became noisy, and three hundred Golden Horde guards were fully armed, carrying bows and arrows, leading their horses.

Tululetu, dressed in a big red military uniform, strode out with a silver scimitar at his waist, his eyes swept around the guards, waved his hand violently, and said, "Get on the horse and go!"

All the guards shouted in unison, and they all turned over and got on their horses with a bang. The leader of the leader had a bitter face, his lips moved and he wanted to speak, but he didn't say a word, and finally turned into a deep sigh, and also turned over and followed the brigade out of the door.

The movement of the Mongolian post house made the envoys of other countries in the post house look at each other, and people have made people inquire endlessly. When they saw the team of people rushing out of the pavilion in full armor, they couldn't help but change their faces wildly.

What are the Tatars going to do? Aren't they crazy? This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty and Gyeonggi, so is it possible that they are going to rebel when they are armed with such an open fire? But with only 300 men and horses, I am afraid that they will not even be able to make a splash.

Everyone looked at each other, and there were friends who whispered to each other and probed, but no one could say two, five or six. There is a clever one who secretly tells the people on his side to close the door tightly and be on guard, but no one is allowed to step out of the pavilion for half a step. Tonight, I'm afraid there's going to be a big mess.......

The movement of the Mongolian Pavilion has long been seen by the factory guards. The news was reported to Mu Bin, and Mu Bin just sat down to prepare for dinner. Hearing the news, how could he still have any appetite, Huo Ran got up and asked anxiously: "Where did they go?" Do you know what happened?"

Wei Chang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Commander, that master has a special identity, and he has the care you commanded, so everyone didn't go in, but only set up a regular sentry outside, this happened too abruptly, and it was too late to find out the situation." As for the direction in which they went, it should be to the palace. The subordinates have already mobilized people to stop them, and they have also sent people to the Beijing camp to deliver the message. They were only 300 people, but they couldn't make any big noise. But this matter is too appalling, and the commander needs to hurry into the palace and report it to the Son of Heaven. ”

Mu Bin turned around in two circles in place anxiously, and said angrily: "I haven't even figured out the situation, how can you ask me to report to the Son of Heaven? These barbarians are really bold, if it weren't for the ......., by the way, did you send a message to the British government?"

Why did he just send a message to the British government, Wei Chang was not surprised at all. The fragrant rumors between this Mongolian princess and Su Mo have long been known to the world, and I don't know how many versions there are.

Hearing Mu Bin's question at this moment, Wei Chang smiled bitterly again and sighed: "Commander, Master Su entered the palace this morning and made a big fuss about the court meeting, and he has not shown up since he was detained by the Son of Heaven. It wasn't until after noon that Wang Shouren, who was with him, came out alone, but his face was full of worry. Who would dare to ask what exactly happened. So...... However, with the energy of the British government, I am afraid that this matter has been known for a long time. Oh, by the way, more than an hour ago, the British Duke went out of the palace alone to the Dingguo Gong, and then the two went out of the city together, and they were not in the city at this time. ”

Mu Bin stopped abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Slow, you said they went out of the city?

Wei Chang shook his head, "Commander, it's good for us to supervise the hundred officials of the Jinyi Guard, but we are just sitting in the mansions. Once you leave the house, especially at the level of the national prince, you can't do it. This ......"

Mu Bin's brows furrowed even tighter, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he didn't know what Wei Chang said. I asked a question just now, but it was just a fluke.

Since he took over Jinyiwei, he has made great efforts and imposed strict restraints, reversing the image of Jinyiwei in the past. One of the most direct manifestations is in this system of sitting and exploring.

Jinyiwei sat to visit various families and inspect hundreds of officials, which was already a matter known to everyone inside and outside the Ming Dynasty. However, you know that after all, no one wants to be watched at home all the time, and there is no privacy at all.

For example, in the past, when Taizu and Chengzu were in charge, the Jinyi guards who were in charge of the investigation simply regarded the homes of the courtiers as prisons, and they were veritable cell bosses. Whenever there is a slight disappointment, as long as they crook their mouths, they will be put in prison in an instant, and the family will be ruined.

Later generations said that everyone in Jinyi changed color, and it seems that the most famous thing is to drive the edict or something, but if there are no such detectives, where does the driving post come from?

And later, in the orthodox Jingtai period, Yingzong favored Wang Zhi, and the power of the factory guard went straight to the beginning of the founding of the country, and sometimes even the procedures for driving the sticker were saved, as long as you found a reason casually, you could take people down.

At that time, it was really as cheap as grass, and courtiers were not as good as dogs.

After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne and established the program of governing the country with benevolence, Mu Bin, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, understood his intentions and first made improvements in the system of sitting and probing.

In the end of the Hongzhi Dynasty, the Jinyi Wei sitting and visiting system became a formality. The detectives no longer even deliberately conceal their identities, and their responsibilities to the inspectors are only limited to the surface, except for reporting some correspondence on time, they no longer have the attributes of the agents of the previous dark ages.

As a result, the image of Jinyiwei began to change greatly. It is precisely because of this that although Mu Bin has been accepted by many ministers, there are pros and cons to everything, and the information is no longer so accurate and timely, which is one of the so-called disadvantages.

So after listening to Wei Chang's somewhat bitter answer at this time, Mu Bin just sighed, but he didn't blame him.

After pacing a few more steps in the house, he was about to send someone to investigate again, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, and then a brocade guard Xiaoqi ran in quickly, and saw the two of them report on one knee: "Governor Qiqi, Lord Qianhu, we sent spies in each family to report, about an hour ago, in front of the courtiers of each family, there were unidentified suspicious people walking around." But most of them just turned around and disappeared, only two imperial histories, and six subjects entered the door. Each family stayed for about half a pillar of incense, and then left in a hurry. Some of our people followed secretly, but in the end those people went to the ....... but ......."

When Xiaoqi said this, he suddenly hesitated, and refused to speak. Mu Bin's brows twisted into a pimple, and his face was unhappy.

Wei Chang said angrily: "Bastard, in our own land, what is not to say, don't talk about it quickly!"

The little flag's body trembled, and he bowed his head, and then he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "According to the report of the brothers who followed them, the places where those people finally disappeared were all in the palace. ”

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Bin and Wei Chang's faces changed greatly at the same time, and they exclaimed.

The little banner didn't dare to raise his head, and continued: "According to the report, at that time, similar situations were also found in the yamen and offices of various ministries. Before the Mongolian inn moved, suspicious characters were also found. It's just that they didn't enter at the time, and they disappeared quickly, so our brothers didn't care. ”

When Mu Bin and Wei Chang heard this, their faces became more and more solemn. After glancing at each other, Wei Chang waved his hand and sent the small flag away.

When he got to the small flag, Wei Chang looked at Mu Bin and said in a deep voice: "Commander, I'm afraid this matter is a little strange." Since it is involved in the palace, there are only two possibilities. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and looked at Mu Bin and didn't continue.

Mu Bin stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, of course he understood why Wei Chang suddenly stopped. also understands what the two possibilities Wei Chang said.

One of them is that there are young people in the palace who are secretly fueling the troubles with ulterior motives. The so-called conspiracy is nothing more than a matter of fighting for power and profit. In the past two years, the Son of Heaven has gradually lacked energy, and he is no longer as diligent as he was at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and he is quite tired.

And this has also made the people below have some careful thoughts, forming gangs, attacking each other, and the methods are becoming more and more insidious and ruthless, and the signs of party strife have surfaced.

What is even more worrying is that the civil official clique began to rise and swell after the Tumubao incident in the past, and now there are signs of competing with the imperial power, even the Son of Heaven is deeply worried and angry, but there is no good countermeasure.

Today's events, I'm afraid it won't be the beginning of another chaos;

And second, that is today's thing, which was fundamentally initiated by the Son of Heaven. As for the purpose, it is not for the courtiers to speculate.

These two points, whether it is the former or the latter, Mu Bin, as the commander of Jinyiwei, is not suitable to participate rashly.

In the former, the political struggle is the most brutal, and it is by no means a wise person to come out without thoroughly understanding the situation.

Moreover, when it comes to struggles at this level, the interests and backgrounds involved are often so complex that people are dizzying. The bigwigs of all parties will not expose their demands at the beginning, and only at the last moment will they come forward to make a thunderous blow and lock in the victory.

Therefore, as far as Mu Bin's identity is concerned, the best countermeasure at this time is to abide by his duty and never easily show any tendencies. Of course, it is absolutely inevitable to report to the emperor as soon as possible. Otherwise, there is no need to wait for the clan, the emperor will take his head first.

The factory guard is a royal eagle dog, the private slave of the Son of Heaven, if he doesn't report it, then it's not looking for death? So, if it is the former, there is no need for Wei Chang to say more about what Mu Bin is going to do next;

But in the second case, the meaning is very different. As mentioned before, Jin Yiwei is the slave of the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven wants to do such a secret thing, why does Mu Bin, as the leader of the house slaves, not use it?

All of this, think about it carefully!

Therefore, if it is really like the latter, Wei Chang's unfulfilled intention is to properly state his position, and the meaning of allegiance is self-evident.

So, whether to advance or retreat now, and how to deal with it, are all in Mu Bin's thoughts.
