Outside the noon gate, at this time, Guo Rong, the new commander of the Jinyi Guards, had led all the Jinyi Guards of the Beizhen Fusi to come here.

And Mu Bin, the commander of the former Jinyi Guard, was also kneeling here at this time.

Mu Bin, like the civil officials, thought that he had made the right bet after hearing that a large number of officers and soldiers were flocking to the Forbidden City, and thought that sure enough, the fifteen-year-old boy Son of Heaven was still no match for a few old foxes in the cabinet and the inner court, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that he released Zhang Zhao first, and when the time came, he would also have a merit.

Mu Bin, who has always been friendly with civil officials, is different from the previous Jinyiwei commanding affairs, in order to avoid being said by civilian officials that he interferes everywhere, he does not care about the function of Jinyiwei's intelligence investigation, and every day it is like a literati who only vassals and elegantly drink some flower wine, but this also leads to the fact that although he is the head of Jinyiwei, he does not know that Zhu Houzhao secretly went to the regimental camp to distribute Lu rice a few days ago.

However, Mu Bin is the person in charge of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi, although there is a delay in the information, but when he knows it will not be later than others, at the same time that a large number of officers and soldiers entered the palace last night, when he thought that Zhu Houzhao would undoubtedly lose, he suddenly learned from a subordinate that the emperor had recently been to the regimental camp, Mu Bin was also smart, and he guessed that there would definitely be a change without continuing to ask, so he immediately took someone to arrest Lu Qi, who had been living outside the palace.

It's a pity that Lu Qi committed suicide by hanging himself earlier than he knew.

Mu Bin only got Lu Qi's head.

Mu Bin wanted to escort Lu Qi into the palace the next morning to ask Zhu Houzhao for guilt, but he didn't expect that the officers and soldiers would surround his private house that night, so Mu Bin had to escape from his private house and take Lu Qi's head to the noon gate to plead guilty.

Mu Bin knew that he could only do this, he could guess that the capital must be under martial law, he couldn't escape, of course he didn't plan to escape, he also expected Zhu Houzhao to spare his life, after all, no matter what, he just listened to the fake word before letting Zhang Zhao go, at most he was just stupid, not to mention that he was still the emperor's retainer.

Zhu Houzhao also appeared outside the noon gate at this time, and couldn't help but ask Gu Dayong beside him: "Mu Bin, do you understand?" ”

Gu Dayong's previous task was to inquire into the private lives of civil and military officials, so he also replied truthfully: "Back to the emperor, Mu Bin has always been cautious, but as far as the ministers know, he prefers to enter from the back when he plays with women, all of which is said by his family's little servant, and it is not worth paying attention to, it is nothing more than a romance, just like the literati and." ”

Zhu Houzhao only smiled slightly after hearing this, and ordered: "Since he likes the back, you can go to the inner library to find a sandalwood peg that can be stuffed into his back!" It's better to have a mace, and if you don't have one, just find a stick! ”

Gu Dayong couldn't help shrinking back after hearing this, and then came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao came to Mu Bin and asked without hesitation:

"Mu Bin, let me ask you, since Zhang Zhao was imprisoned yesterday morning, why did he appear in the regimental camp last night, and even broke into the palace ban, intending to kill the king and usurp the throne? You, the Jinyi guard, are in command of the affairs well, and it is the first time in my Ming Dynasty that someone escaped from the edict! ”

"Emperor! Mu Bin was wronged!

Mu Bin had already followed the emperor's will and sent the traitor Zhang Zhao into the edict, but Lu Qi, the godson of Lu Gonggong, the governor of Dongchang, said that His Majesty had your message, and let us let Zhang Zhao go, but Mu Bin never thought that Lu Qi had falsely passed on the message, and Mu Bin later learned that Zhang Zhao actually intended to rebel!

Mu Bin was ready to take Lu Qi into the palace to escort him, but he didn't expect that Lu Qi had already cut himself off, so he had to cut off his head, and he had learned that His Majesty had pacified the chaos, Mu Bin knew that he was guilty, and he almost fell into danger for the emperor, so he asked for guilt outside the noon gate! ”

Mu Bin cried as he spoke.

Zhu Houzhao smiled faintly, he actually guessed a rough idea, thinking that this Mu Bin chose to do this after listening to Lu Qi's words, obviously wanting to speculate, and even more inclined to Wang Yueying, if it was an official of other systems, he could also spare him the death penalty, but Jin Yiwei was the emperor's pro-army, and he wanted to ensure absolute loyalty, and there must be no one who wanted to engage in duplicity!

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao had already made up his mind to kill Mu Bin to deter other Jinyi guards, and as soon as Mu Bin finished speaking, he directly pointed at Mu Bin and scolded:

"I didn't let Dongchang arrest Zhang Zhao yesterday morning, but let Jinyiwei directly send Zhang Zhao to prison, you should guess that I didn't trust Lu He, the governor of Dongchang at that time, if this is the case, how could I send his godson to pass on the message!

You can see that you are lying! I want to be a wall-to-wall grass, I want to engage in duplicity, I want to speculate, but unfortunately I didn't expect to move to a stone and hit my feet, right? As a brocade guard, he is my pro-army, and since he is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, he should have absolute loyalty! There is no room for speculators like you! ”

Zhu Houzhao turned around and entered the noon gate as he spoke, but Mu Bin didn't expect his mind to be exposed by his emperor so quickly, so he was so frightened that he continued to cry and beg for mercy: "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to pay attention to it, and just stood on the noon gate and waited for Gu Dayong to come back.

After a while, Gu Dayong ran back, with a golden stick in his hand: "Emperor, there is really such a thing in the inner library, this is a sandalwood mace, the outer bread is golden, and the inlaid thorns are made of agate stone." ”

"Just give him a luxurious version of sandalwood punishment!"

Zhu Houzhao explained to Gu Dayong what sandalwood punishment was, and then instructed: "Go down and ask a few brocade guards to hold him down, and then find a few brocade guards to stab me, I want these brocade guards to see, if you are not loyal to me, you will end up disloyal to me!" ”

"The minister understands!"

Gu Dayong went out of the noon gate as he spoke, instructed Jinyi Wei to press Mu Bin to the ground, and instructed: "Press him tightly for our family!" ”

And Mu Bin saw that Gu Dayong was holding a rather gorgeous stick, and thought that he would only be beaten with a stick and would not be killed, so he was also happy for a while: "Dare to love the emperor who spared my life and only beat me with a stick?" ”

"It's a beautiful idea! Brothers, all the brothers of Jinyiwei, listen, Mu Bin betrayed the emperor, engaged in duplicity, and was disloyal to the emperor, and now according to the emperor's edict, he will be punished with wolf tooth sandalwood, what is the wolf tooth sandalwood punishment, you will know later, the emperor said that I hope you will remember in the future, this is the end of disloyalty to the emperor! ”

As he spoke, Gu Dayong ordered someone to take off Mu Bin's pants.

And Mu Bin actually didn't know what the wolf tooth sandalwood punishment was, and the other Jinyi guards didn't know either.

Gu Dayong only asked, "Which of you has the most strength?" ”

At this time, Liang Ze stood up: "Father-in-law, he used to be an archer and can draw a strong bow!" ”

"Okay, it's up to you", Gu Dayong told Liang Ze what to do.

So, according to Gu Dayong's instructions, Liang Ze stabbed a golden wolf's tooth sandalwood into Mu Bin's back.

Yes!

Mu Bin screamed! Immediately fainted to the ground!

The Jinyi guards present shrank their buttocks when they saw this, and they were shocked, and their backs were cold, thinking that this was the end of being disloyal to the emperor! This is worse than being chopped!

Yes!

And Liang Ze continued to stab according to Gu Dayong's instructions at this time.

Mu Bin woke up again, screaming again and again.

The Jinyi guards present were all frightened and turned pale, and they did not dare to disobey the emperor's order again.
