Hearing this, Wang Qian was silent, most of his understanding of Jinyiwei came from later TV dramas, in his impression, Jinyiwei is a famous spy agency, it seems to be similar to the East Factory and the West Factory, all of which are institutions that are under the palm seal of some big eunuchs. Therefore, the reason why he rejected Lin Yongquan was that if he was to be called around by a group of eunuchs all day long, and do something that misled the country and the people with no conscience, as a soldier with a full sense of justice in later generations, he would never be able to stand it.

"Do you know what Jinyiwei represents? That is the emperor's pro-army, the Son of Heaven Guard, with the right to inspect hundreds of officials, and the people can act cheaply, and furthermore, even if it is a hundred households in Jinyiwei, it can also be hereditary, in other words, if you are a hundred households of Jinyiwei, your children, your grandson, in the future, any fame can be obtained without taking the test, do you understand? Lin Yongquan never expected Wang Qian to refuse, so he explained bitterly.

"Outside the forester, no, I should call you Lord Lin now." Wang Qian's expression froze, he took a deep breath, looked at Lin Yongquan and said, "As you said, Jinyiwei is very majestic. But it feels very uncomfortable to be restrained by some eunuchs every day, right? ”

Hearing this, Lin Yongquan was stunned, then his pupils constricted, staring at Wang Qian, Wang Qian was not afraid at all, the two stood and looked at each other, and for a while the courtyard was silent, and the wind blew more and more fiercely, blowing the hair bundles of the two, and even the robes were fluttering.

Wang Qian's words seem to be unremarkable, but he has already committed a big taboo, it can be said that any Jinyi with a sense of honor will swear to him if he hears this.

After a moment, a hearty laugh broke the silence in the courtyard.

"Hahaha......" Lin Yongquan straightened his sleeves, his laughter was undisguised, and then said: "Wang Qian, you are really a wonderful person." ”

Lin Yongquan stared at Wang Qian with a fixed gaze, and teased: "You know that if what you said is heard by those young people in the division, I am afraid that Daming will no longer have a place for you to live." ”

Wang Qian knew in his heart that it was abrupt to say this, but the young man's nature was that he didn't want to admit defeat, so he raised his head and asked, "What?" Am I not right? ”

"Hahaha." Lin Yongquan still laughed uncontrollably, as if he had seen through Wang Qian's thoughts, and then put away his laughter, and said with a serious face: "It's not right!" What a big mistake! ”

"My Jinyi Guard, the emperor's pro-army, the Son of Heaven Guard, how did it become so unbearable in your eyes, you are right, there are indeed many examples of eunuchs misleading the country in the history of my Ming Dynasty, and eunuchs controlling Jinyiwei, but in this dynasty, in the world of Zhongxing, His Majesty reuses meritocracy and preserves the ministers, which is a rare Ming monarch. What's more, now that I, Jinyiwei, under the leadership of Lord Mu Bin, only need to be responsible to the emperor alone, inspect hundreds of officials, and protect my Ming! It's not as you think, whose gun it is. Lin Yongquan bowed his hand to Tianyi, his face was full of pride, and he looked at Wang Qian proudly and said.

Wang Qian was stunned, yes, he really didn't expect that now is the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhu is indeed a virtuous monarch, and there has been no eunuch misleading the country and traitorous party when he was in power. Moreover, this commander of the Jinyi Guard named Mu Bin has also vaguely heard of it, and it seems that he is also a rare loyal talent.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Qian was annoyed, because of the freedom of speech in later generations, the habit he developed was to go straight. But in this era, it is not possible for an open-mouthed person like him to survive, not to mention that what Wang Qian said was just what he thought was chasing after the wind. As Lin Yongquan said, if what he said just now was heard by other Jinyi guards, then I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty would really have no place for him.

Confucius said: Three times a day, I reflect on my body. It is not necessarily a good thing for our eldest prince to be fully aware of this.

"What? Virtuous nephew, are you willing to join Jinyiwei now? I know that you are a genius, I believe that if you are given some time, it will be easy for you to enter the ranks with fame, but if you look at your father, Jinshi was born and mixed in the officialdom for so many years, and it is only a small seven-pin, if it is not for his own outstanding ability and no tough backstage, it is difficult for me to rise to the top in the Ming Dynasty. To tell the truth, there is no shortage of people in my Jinyiwei, and the reason why I invite you again and again is that I hope that people with outstanding martial arts and abilities like my nephew will not be dusted. Lin Yongquan played with the jade ring on his hand and waited for Wang Qian to answer.

Wang Qian thought about it for a long time, sighed lightly, and arched his hand to Lin Yongquan: "Uncle Lin, this matter is related to the future of the little nephew, let the little nephew think about it again." ”

Wang Qian felt that as soon as he entered the Jinyi Guard, it was equivalent to entering the government as a military attaché, in his memory, the Ming Dynasty as a whole was heavy on literature and light on military force, and this atmosphere was more prosperous in the later period, so there was a phenomenon that the civilian group controlled the government for a long time. However, he came through time, in contemporary times, paper and pen can be regarded as illiterate, because of this, the way to get on the career by fame can be said to be very small. The path provided to him by Lin Yongquan is also a shortcut.

"The holy decree will arrive in about three days, and this is the case, after the holy decree is read, I will also return to Beijing to resume my life, and I will give you a good consideration in these three days, and reply to me as soon as possible." Lin Yongquan took his hand and walked out of the courtyard: "Your father will either go to the edict prison for a year and a half this time, or he will also be demoted to another place, think about it, this time the incident should hit him very hard, if you can join Jinyiwei because of the blessing of misfortune, Brother Wang He will also be extremely pleased." I'll go first, there will be people from the Jinyi Guard to clean up the scene in half an hour, you should leave as soon as possible, if you are bumped into by them, it will always be troublesome. ”

After Lin Yongquan left, Wang Qian stood silently in the courtyard alone, with mixed feelings in his heart and unable to express it.

…………

The Forbidden City in Beijing, a building that has stood in the land of China for a hundred years, is slowly beginning to tell the world about its heritage, and this palace is full of majesty day and night.

In the Forbidden City, in the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asked Lord Mu Bin to see him." A person who looked like a eunuch walked in and said respectfully to Zhu Youjiao, who was reviewing the folds above.

"Oh? It's Mu Bin, hehe, Wang Yue, you let him in. ”

Zhu Youjiao, who was above, waved his hand, put down the Zhu pen, and said with a smile. This lord of Zhongxing, who has always been generous and benevolent and diligent in government affairs for more than ten years, although he is not very old, has already shown twilight at this time, and if he can watch carefully, his eyes are full of indescribable exhaustion.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a tiger's back drove into the main hall, and then knelt down on one knee in the center of the main hall and said, "Minister, Mu Bin, see Your Majesty." ”

"Hehe, Mu Bin, get up, there is no one else here, no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Bin replied with a full of anger, and then stood up straight and stood quietly in the main hall.

"Mu Bin, what's the matter?" Emperor Hongji replied with a squinted smile.

The commander of the Son of Heaven's personal guard makes the lord, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing to the eye, Mu Bin is upright, does not collude with the traitorous party, and thinks about the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly, these loyal and upright characters are deeply loved by Hongzhi. As a controversial state violence agency, during the period when Mu Bin served as the commander, he was not afraid of the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and only obeyed the orders of Zhu Youzhu alone, and dared to fight against the evil forces. At that time, the impression of Jinyiwei in the courtiers and the people was no longer bloody and terrifying, but full of justice and benevolence. All this is also to Zhu Youjiao's appetite for the monarch who advocates the practice of "benevolent" government in the management of the country.

"Your Majesty, the arms smuggling case in the south has been basically investigated." Mu Bin straightened his sleeves, looked up at Emperor Hongzhi and said.

"Oh? It's been a long time, is it as I expected? Emperor Hongzhi put down the notebook in his hand and asked slowly.

"As Your Majesty expected, this matter is inseparable from the Jiangnan Ordnance Bureau and the master in the south." Mu Bin arched his hand and replied.

Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting precariously above the main hall, was silent, nodded thoughtfully, his eyes wandered, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he spoke again:

"Well, forget those slaves and maids, but I really can't imagine that the descendants of my Zhu family can do such a thing that harms the family and the country."

Hongji held his chin and closed his eyes slightly. Although Emperor Hongzhi's tone was still not in a hurry at this moment, and his face was not abnormal, those who were familiar with him should be able to hear his hidden anger.

"Your Majesty, and Lin Yongquan, the head of Yongqing County and the county Cheng Yang Zhi, and the master Chen Linchang colluded with King Ning and the Jiangnan Ordnance Bureau to act for the tiger, and used an important county in my Ming Dynasty as a material transfer hub for the traitorous party, and fornicated with Tatar to make profits."

Mu Bin had a straight face, telling the facts of the case, waiting for Hongzhi's response.

"Yongqing? Hehe, the governor of such an important transportation county is so corrupt, is it that one day the Tatars entered the Juyong Pass, and the soldiers came to the capital? It's really hateful. Hongji crumpled a ball of paper and said with a gloomy face: "Master of the main book? What is the county magistrate of Yongqing County doing, and is he involved in this matter? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the minister's understanding, as well as the secret letter sent by Lin Yongquan yesterday, Yongqing County Ling Wang Mao did not participate in this matter, and since the incident, Yongqing Wang Mao has also tried his best to cooperate with the imperial court to investigate this matter."

"Well, it seems that most of my Ming officials are still good, like Yang Zhi and Chen Linchang, who are so treacherous, and there are only a few." Hongzhi Ye straightened the beard under his lips, and finally showed a subtle smile, and said: "Needless to say, Yang Zhi and Chen Linchang should be Ling Chi according to the law of Da Ming." Then this Wang Mao, although he did not participate in this matter, even so, at least it is inevitable to be guilty of negligence, right? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Wang Mao's responsibility for negligence must be inevitable, as a county official, he has been deceived by the people below for so long, and he is really regarded as incompetent, and the minister is trying to ask Your Majesty, how should this Wang Mao be convicted."

"Wang Mao is a county official, conniving at his subordinates to do evil, and he has not been aware of it so far, and it is indeed difficult to escape the involvement, but Nian is trying his best to cooperate with the imperial court to investigate this case, and he is upright and loyal, so let's do it, a few days ago, there was a county in Zhejiang that lacked a county, so he was demoted to go here to take office. Mu Qing, what do you think? Hongji's face returned to normal, and he thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely inappropriate, if it is just a demotion to the first level, this lesson is inevitably too light, the courtiers are not convinced, the world is not convinced, if all the officials in the future will follow the same example, like Wang Mao is as careless and slack, in the long run, then my Ming Kingdom will not be a country, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" Mu Bin took two steps forward, raised his head and said in his throat.

"What you say makes sense, so in your opinion, what should you do?" Hongji said with a smile that he liked that the courtiers could come up with different proposals and discuss them with each other.

"Back to Your Majesty, if it is a trivial matter in the past, it is enough to demote the official level, but arms smuggling and collaborating with the enemy are not trivial matters, although Wang Mao is not suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but there is a responsibility for negligence, the minister thinks that Wang Mao should be imprisoned for one year, if he enters the official career after one year, the minister believes that it will also be good for him." Mu Bin is colorful.

"Alas, that's it, what you said also has some truth, and in this case, Wang Mao will be temporarily imprisoned, and after a year, it will be reactivated. During this year, you must not be embarrassed with him. Hongzhi waved his hand at Mu Bin.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, your Majesty, that all ministers should act according to the law." Mu Bin replied.

"Yongqing's traitors who aided and abused the gang are finished, now it's time for us to talk about King Ning in the south." Hongji closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with his hands, and said slowly.
