Chapter 191: Suicide

Mu Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei, was originally a small person, and his experience was similar to Qian Ning's, starting from the grassroots level and rising step by step.

Mu Bin is the Jinyi Guard who entered the Jinyi Guard in the last years of Chenghua, he is neither after the meritorious service, nor has he ever approached the Heavenly Family, except for his innocence, he no longer has any qualifications or conditions to meet the requirements of the Jinyi Guard's commander.

If you have to say that there is, it probably means that you have been enlightened and understand the subtle words of some saints. Jin Yiwei is a military attachΓ©, and it is useless to understand this, but Mu Bin is very lucky.

In the early years of Hongzhi, the power of Wenchen rose greatly, and Huaien, the eunuch who was also the chief celebrant, received the education of scholars in the study since he was a child, and he had an upright heart, and he also regarded the words of the saints as classics. Because of this, the inner court and the outer court were connected together, directly overpowering Emperor Hongzhi, who was still a teenager at the time.

The courtiers were able to increase their power, and Wynne left a good reputation, which is recorded in history: "For a while, the righteous people converged, and so did the power of grace." ”

Mu Bin is one of the righteous people, since the inner court and the outer court are harmonious, naturally Jinyi Wei cannot be allowed to make waves. After there are many nobles among the Jinyi Guard, it is difficult for these people to win over, and they can't be reassured, for the selection of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Huai En also spent a lot of thought.

In the end, Mu Bin, who had been enlightened by a saint, entered Huaien's sight, and Huaien thought that Mu Bin was a person who could abide by traditional morality, so he recommended Hongzhi to the United Foreign Dynasty, and Hongzhi naturally agreed, so there was Mu Bin as a commander.

After Mu Bin took office, the entire Hongzhi Dynasty's prison administration was quite lenient, and according to the position of the person who evaluated, it can also be said to be fair and benevolent. And Qian Ning's understanding of Mu Bin is actually a little biased, Mu Bin and Wenchen are all the way, not after becoming a commander, they only rushed to catch up.

Because of this, Mu Bin has also been upset for a while now. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the relationship with the foreign dynasty was originally quite harmonious, and he obeyed his words and rewarded, and even Admiral Mu's mind was alive because of this.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it couldn't be more appropriate for Admiral Jinyiwei, but this rule is not a rule, it is just a convention formed in every dynasty. In the past ten years, Admiral Mu has cooperated with the foreign courts, and his reputation in the court and among the people is also excellent, presumably the ministers will not want to be replaced.

In fact, although Zhengde proposed to change the commander at the court meeting last year, they were all vetoed by the courtiers, and Zhengde did not insist. Seeing that he was about to become the first person to break the convention, Admiral Mu was overjoyed, and in order to repay the righteousness of the courtiers, he even withdrew some of the horsemen outside.

But there are many good things, the first year of Zhengde has just begun, everything has changed, from the holy car to run, to a series of things in Xuanfu, to the holy car to return to Beijing, until yesterday's big court meeting, everything, made him, a bystander, dazzled and overwhelmed.

The emperor before and after the departure was like two people, not only behaving more perversely, but also sharply opposing the courtiers. This alone is not terrible, the most terrifying thing is that there is another courtier Xie Hong by the emperor's side!

Last year, Qian Ning came up violently, although Mu Bin felt uncomfortable, but he didn't see the other party as a threat, after all, Qian Ning was a guy who had been at the bottom, but he relied on Gu Dayong's help to recommend him, which only entered the eyes of the emperor.

But the current Xie Hong is completely different, this young man is even shorter when he is driving, but this saint is simply too thick to add. Mu Bin has also read history, but let him think about it, but he can't find a similar example in the historical materials, even Huo Hussar can't have such a holy family!

Among the characters of this dynasty, I am afraid that the only one who can be compared is Wang Zhen from the time of Yingzong. But Wang Zhen is an unlearned and unskilled person, and he is still an internal official, but this Xie Hong is a capable person! It used to be a legend, but after yesterday's court meeting, no one doubted his ability.

The ingenious pendulum clock, extensive knowledge, more divine eyesight, and even a bit of eloquence...... Reading books does not mean that he is a reader, Mu Bin does not have the pedantry of a reader, and he has no contempt for Xie Hong's craftsmanship at all, but is full of envy in his heart.

Mu Bin knows very well that the times create heroes, this is not false at all, and he himself is the most suitable example. If it hadn't caught up with the good era of the Hongzhi Dynasty, if it hadn't been for the Hongzhi Emperor's surname Ge Qian and generosity, what would it be the turn of an internal official like Huai En, who hooked up with the outer dynasty to become the head of the inner court? How can there be such a thing as Mu Bin himself, only Wenchen is the commander of Zhan Jinyiwei?

When he first saw Xie Hong, he had already thought of the threat that the other party might bring, but he still didn't expect that this threat would come so quickly and so fiercely, after the big court meeting, he was completely sure that Xie Hong was his biggest and most terrible opponent.

For a young man with a jumpy surname and a fun-loving man, that extraordinary insight and craftsmanship is simply a fatal temptation, and such a thing is still in the hands of a person of the same age as the emperor! If it weren't for the deep-rooted reverence for the scholars, Mu Bin would have even planned to give up directly.

Zhengde's will yesterday was even worse, the rank and position of the commander and the same knowledge were under the command, but in a system like Jinyiwei, as long as it can go directly to the heavens, whether it is the same knowledge or a thousand households, they can also not buy the account of the commander.

If it is a long time, such a commander can even directly override the commander, how can Mu Bin not be angry? So he was a little late to go to the government today, in order to, of course, to ask Liu Ge for advice.

After getting a positive answer from Liu Gelao, he was a little relieved, and on the way back to the Yamen, he was also thinking about how to cooperate with the actions of the foreign court. The benefits of combining inside and outside, everyone has already deeply experienced it in the Hongzhi Dynasty, although Wang Yue's side is still a little wavering, but sooner or later he will make up his mind.

There is no cat that does not steal, Mu Bin does not believe that the old eunuch can give up the power in his hands, if the emperor is allowed to decide for himself, how can the celebrant and the commander put it in Wang Yue's hands? If it is said that in the outer court, the emperor still has no cronies, but in the inner court, there are at least eight tigers.

When he arrived at the ground, Mu Bin also figured out what was on his mind, raised his eyes to look at the yamen, and saw that Qianhu, the steward of the Nanzhen Fusi, hurriedly ran out of it, and went in the direction of the Nanzhen Fusi without looking back. Mu Bin remembered that Jiang Song had always been cautious, but today he didn't know why he was so depressed, and he didn't even see himself as a commander.

He felt strange in his heart, and his steps also quickened, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi Wenyi talking to people, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"Old Shi, what's wrong?"

"I've seen Lord Mu." Seeing that it was Mu Bin, everyone hurriedly greeted him. After seeing the ceremony, Shi Wenyi snorted and explained: "Lord Mu, didn't the emperor have a will yesterday? I thought it was just to give an official title, but Xie Hong was very anxious......"

He told him about his arrangements and Xie Hong's response, and then sneered: "No matter how favored he is, he is just a courtier who has never seen the world, and he thinks that Nanzhen Fusi is a fat man!" As a result, he became angry and embarrassed when he was disappointed, and he even lied and threatened, and I wanted to see how he faced the empty yamen. ”

Mu Bin nodded noncommittally and asked, "What's the matter with Jiang Song?" ”

Shi Wenyi smiled and said: "That guy said that he was going to regain his life, in my opinion, eighty percent of them were thinking of betting on both sides." Hmph, he doesn't know what to do, and I don't bother to care about him, just let him go. ”

Mu Bin thought about it, felt that it was not bad, and was about to speak in approval, when suddenly a person stumbled in outside, and he looked at the color of the clothes and was also a brocade guard.

"I sent it out to keep an eye on Nanzhen Fusi's movements." Shi Wenyi explained, then turned to the person who came, and asked sharply: "Shi Qing, in front of Lord Admiral, what kind of system are you panicking?" Didn't the official tell you to stare over there? What are you doing in a hurry? ”

"Lord Admiral, Lord Shi, something is wrong!" Shi Qing reported in a panic: "Then Xie Hong didn't know where to recruit a team of people, the number was about 1,000 people, the clothes were very mixed, and some of them were wearing our Jinyiwei's clothes. Now these people have been stationed in Nanzhen Fusi, and after they entered, they hung out the sign of Fengya! ”

"More than a thousand? Seal the office? Mu and Shi were both taken aback.

"Exactly." Shi Qing looked frightened, and said: "Feng Ya is not counted, they also sent people out to clear the scene, but everyone who watched the excitement was driven away, and a few of us were watching, except for the villain who ran fast, the rest of the brothers were taken away." ”

"What?" Shi Wenyi was originally puzzled, but when he heard this, he was furious, and he shouted: "Didn't you show your identity? ”

"......It's lit up," Shi Qing hurriedly defended: "But those people say that Nanzhen Fusi is a military powerhouse, no matter who it is, as long as there is no emperor's edict, snooping without permission is a plot to misbehave, so ......"

"What a guts!" Shi Wenyi was even more angry, "You are also waste, why were you discovered?" Why don't you run if you're discovered? ”

"The brethren were all mixed in with the crowd, and somehow they were all recognized, and the gang was so clever that they surrounded them at once." At that time, things changed suddenly, Shi Qing was far away, but he escaped, but what was going on, he can't say it now.

"Tell the brothers to copy the guys and ask the officials to go to them!" Shi Wenyi was furious and shouted loudly. Originally, he planned to give Xie Hong a dismissal, but in the end, he was slapped in the face, how could he bear it?

This is a matter of eliminating the advantages of one and the other, if he doesn't come out, his prestige will be reduced, and Xie Hong's side has become inverted, so Shi Wenyi's reaction is also very fast, and he immediately summoned people to ask for someone.

He thought that there were many people, and he didn't ask much about the details, but he just turned his head and glanced at Mu Bin's face, and when he saw that the other party was silent, he knew that he had acquiesced, so his momentum was even stronger, and he gathered more than 3,000 people in a short time and went out to Fusi in Nanzhen.

"Then where did Xie Hong get the manpower? Is it from Channing's side? Mu Bin didn't speak until Shi Wenyi took people away, and then he said in a low voice as if talking to himself.

"Have you forgotten, sir? His Majesty returned to Beijing from Xuanfu, followed by more than 1,000 guards, and those people who arrived in the capital did not go back, but said that they would be placed under the Jinyi Wei Qian Tongzhi. Qian Tongzhi said it to the adult once, but the adult didn't give him an answer, and then there was no follow-up, and now I think it's this person. A scribe behind Mu Bin explained.

Not only is the relationship between Mu Bin and the civil officials good, but his style is also very similar to that of the civilian officials, but as a military attachΓ©, he has a lot of staff, and the one who speaks is the most trusted one among them.

"It turned out to be those border town ruffians, hum!" Mu Bin snorted coldly and asked, "If there is a conflict over there, the official will have to bear some responsibility, Mr. Zhang, in your opinion, how should the official deal with it?" ”

"Your Excellency doesn't need to worry," Mr. Zhang explained with a smile: "No matter what the result is, it is Xie Hong who provokes first, and then Shi Tongzhi seeks justice out of righteous indignation, even if something big happens, it has nothing to do with adults, besides, it is better if there is a conflict." ”

"Oh? There is a conflict in the capital, how can it be better? Do you want to teach me? Mu Bin asked in surprise.

"The lords of the court have long regarded Xie Hong as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait to eat his flesh raw." Mr. Zhang smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Excellency, you might as well inform the Shuntianfu or the Yamen of the Criminal Department in advance, and when the conflict is together, the transfer of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will be smoothly completed." There are only more than a thousand people on Xie Hong's side, and they must not be opponents, so ...... then"

"Kill or capture, and then hand it over to the adults of the court and the central government to dispose of, hehe......" He arched his hand and said, "Another great achievement!" My lord, this is a godsend, and it is the time to take something from it, so I will congratulate you first. ”

Mu Bin's spirits were greatly lifted, but there were some gains and losses in his heart, so he muttered: "But this official has heard that the border army is strong, if it is ......"

"My lord is too worried, Shi Tongzhi has three thousand people around him, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities will not leave their hands behind if they want to, even if the border army is elite, they will eventually be outnumbered. And now is the time of the court discussion, no matter who it is, there is no way to deliver the news to the emperor, and Xie Hong has no biggest support, my lord, there is no better opportunity than this. ”

After analyzing the situation, Mr. Zhang reminded again: "Besides, even if Xie Hong is lucky, what if there is really anything, when Liu Ge Lao's side has a result, his more than 1,000 people will become trouble, and it will not be too late to think about it in the long run." ”

Mu Bin thought about it for a while, and felt that Mr. Zhang's words were good, not only could he greatly sell a favor on Wenchen's side, but also take the opportunity to stabilize his position, and it was indeed a godsend to remove the biggest danger.

"That's it!" He was heartbroken, and ordered: "Mr. Zhang, there will be you on the side of Shuntianfu." ”

"For the country's hoe annihilation, so I want it." Mr. Zhang's face was full of spring breeze, and he received his life.

"Mu Jun, you bring your official's personal guards to go with you, as long as you make a move over there, you can wait for the opportunity to move, as long as you take down the courtier Xie Hong, it will be a great achievement!" Having made up his mind, Mu Bin no longer hesitated, and turned his head to his personal guard and commanded.

"Yes!"

Hum! Xie Hong, this is your own death, you have to blame this official. Looking in the direction of Nanzhen Fusi, Mu Bin's eyes were full of eagerness.
