Several carefully prepared small gifts were collected from various places in the capital, although they were not precious, but they took a lot of thought.

The escorts selected from the Jinyi Guards are all the elite of the elite, including Huang Tu and Zhang Fugui, and the elite forces have almost been exhausted in the past few days.

The elite forces of Jinyiwei mentioned here are only the men and horses under Zhang Ru, not including the men and horses under Mu Bin.

Because Zhang Ru kept deliberately creating opportunities for Mu Bin, in terms of individual ability, the people under Mu Bin's command may not be as good as Huang Tu and Zhang Fugui and others, but the group ability is not much better than these elites.

As soon as these people left, without waiting for Mu Bin, who was still thinking about it, to speak, his subordinates immediately began to install their own people to occupy the main position.

It's almost an instinctive reaction for them.

Ten years later, everything was ready, and Zhang Ru entered the palace to resign.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion that he was very familiar with, he met a person he couldn't imagine. This person is just talking about it, and when he thinks about it, he thinks about Mu Bin for ten years.

Hearing Qin Ji whisper that Zhang Ru asked to see him, Zhu Youzhu smiled again and said please, Mu Bin's hunched body trembled slightly. This small action quickly disappeared, but it was fully watched by Qin Ji, who had been observing Mu Bin.

After Zhang Ru entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, he was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Mu Bin, and then said to Zhu Youzhu with a smile: "Your Majesty is rarely idle today, what kind of national affairs are you talking about with Lord Mu?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said very easily: "What else can we talk about, it's just to talk about the development of Jinyiwei in the future." Wen Xuan, you don't know, those ministers have stopped a lot in the past few days when they learned that you were leaving the capital, and I heard Mu Bin say that many ministers are feasting and drinking in private to celebrate your departure. ”

Zhang Ru touched his nose a little embarrassed: "It seems that I am really disgusted, and before I left, some people were looking forward to me leaving." ”

Mu Bin arched his hand towards Zhang Ru when he saw the stitches: "Xiaguan has seen Master Hou." ”

Zhang Ruli ignored Mu Bin, looked at Zhu Youzhu and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will leave for Yingtianfu tomorrow, and he will resign today." ”

Zhu Youzhu laughed: "As soon as you leave, the capital is estimated to be the same as the New Year, with gongs and drums and firecrackers." ”

Zhang Ru stroked his forehead with his hand: "Alas. When His Majesty said this, the minister didn't want to leave, and really wanted to see what kind of faces those guys were. ”

Mu Bin, who was completely ignored, stood in place awkwardly, with his hands raised in the air, neither letting it go, nor lifting it.

Qin Ji was keenly aware of Mu Bin's embarrassment, and reminded softly: "Master Hou, Lord Mu greets you!" ”

Zhang Ru glanced at Qin Ji coldly, as if he was blaming him for being nosy, and then turned to Mu Bin, revealing a smiling expression: "Yo, it turned out that it was Commander Mu in person, Xiao Hou was clumsy, and he didn't recognize it for a while, and the commander made a large number of adults, don't be surprised." ”

What Mu Bin was wearing was no longer the bullfighting suit that Zhang Ru had asked for from Zhu Youzhu before, but a python robe. You must know that this python robe is not something that ordinary people can wear, and the emperor was able to give Mu Bin a python robe, which shows how much he values Mu Bin.

It looks like a compliment, but it's actually ironic.

The words in the words made Mu Bin eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Hou Ye is serious, it is the lower official's voice that is too small, no wonder Hou Ye." Your Majesty, Lord Hou, the minister will retire first. ”

Zhang Ru grabbed Mu Bin's python robe and said with a smile: "What is Lord Mu anxious about, everyone is their own people, and it's nothing to talk about." Yo, this dress is good, well, I have to fight with Grandpa Qin. ”

Qin Ji is also wearing a python robe, because he is a eunuch and a person next to the Son of Heaven, and wearing a python robe does not mean that there is something else. At this point, Qin Ji and Mu Bin are completely different.

But being compared to a eunuch, Mu Bin just didn't want to quarrel with Zhang Ru, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.

In fact, he was a little weak-minded, and told Zhang Ru that day that he wanted to think about it, but he thought about it for so long, and he never gave Zhang Ru, the old boss, any answer. If that's all it takes, it doesn't matter, but he didn't reply to Zhang Ru, but appeared in the Dongnuan Pavilion as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Regardless of whether this person is Zhang Ru or not, even if he changes someone, I am afraid that my heart will not be too comfortable.

It's just that Zhang Ru's method of venting his anger is a bit special, and the method of scolding people without dirty words really makes Mu Bin a little unacceptable.

After working together for so long, it was the first time he discovered that Zhang Ru was such a ruthless person.

Zhu Youzhu also saw that something was wrong between the two, and hurriedly stood up to act as a peacemaker: "Okay, okay, Wenxuan, Mu Bin was called into the palace by me." ”

Zhang Ru's eyes were cold: "If there is nothing to do, the minister will retire first." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left directly, not giving Zhu Youzhu a chance to speak at all.

Mu Bin opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

It wasn't until Zhang Ru was about to walk to the door that Zhu Youzhu came to his senses and opened his mouth to shout: "Wenxuan, Wenxuan, Brother Tiger!" ”

When shouting Wenxuan, Zhang Ru didn't stop, but the word Brother Tiger shocked him and stopped. However, he did not turn around, but stood in place and said: "The most important thing between people is trust, when this trust disappears, the affection between each other will fade." His Majesty cherishes it, and the minister retires. ”

Zhu Youzhu stood in place, his mouth slightly open, his face full of disbelief.

He knew that the milk brother who grew up with him since he was a child was a very high-minded person, and he didn't mean anything else by asking Mu Bin to enter the palace, but he just wanted Mu Bin to pay close attention to the monitoring of officials in Beijing. Even when Mu Bin entered the palace, Xiao Jing personally led it, if he deliberately concealed it, he would not let Mu Bin enter the palace with great fanfare.

But unexpectedly, Mu Bin's entry into the palace made Zhang Ru misunderstood.

As an emperor, he didn't need to explain, but as a brother, he felt the need to give Zhang Ru an explanation.

Not long after Zhang Ru left, Zhu Youzhu asked Mu Bin to go back and deal with the affairs of Jinyiwei with some frustration, and then took Qin Ji to change into civilian clothes, and under the protection of Xu Hai, who had become an old worshipper, he left the palace and went to the Dingbian Marquis's Mansion.

Mu Bin had mixed feelings in his heart, he really didn't know how to face his old boss, and at the moment when he was in Dongnuan Pavilion today, he saw disappointment on Zhang Ru's face.

That kind of disappointment is like being punished by my husband when I was a child when I was studying in a private school because I couldn't recite the three-character scripture, and the look in my husband's eyes after the punishment was revealed.

Zhang Ru has the grace of knowing him, if it weren't for Zhang Ru, maybe he would still be a small lieutenant in Beizhen Fusi, or perhaps, he would have been cleared out. Even if he develops steadily, his career will not be so smooth, at least, he will not become the commander of Jinyiwei at such a young age.

After leaving the palace, he went straight to the Dingbian Hou Mansion without thinking about it, but the two people at the door blocked his way with cold faces: "The Hou Ye ordered, I am in a bad mood today, and no one will be seen." ”

"You don't know me? I want to see Master Hou. Mu Bin didn't expect that a few nobodies who had left Jinyiwei would dare to block his way, and he said with some annoyance.

At this time, a voice sounded in his ears: "The commander of the Jinyi Guard, who can not know him." However, if the commander wants to trouble the Hou Ye, please come up with evidence. Otherwise, the adults can also let the Tiqi of the Fusi of Beizhen surround the Hou Mansion, and then arrest the Hou Ye. ”

It was Huang Tu who spoke, Huang Tu, who had been suppressed by Mu Bin in Jinyiwei.

Hou Ye came back with a cold face, and not long after he came back, he locked himself in the study and did not show up, and immediately, Mu Bin was ****, thinking about it with his knees, he knew that it was Mu Bin who offended Hou Ye.

Mu Bin pointed at Huang Tu and said, "You."

Huang Tu was also quite a bachelor, and took off an iron sign from his waist: "If the commander thinks that his subordinates are disobedient and offensive, he can drive his subordinates out of Jinyiwei." Anyway, without Hou Ye's brocade guard, it's not interesting to stay any longer. ”

Mu Bin, who was so angry, almost didn't rush over and slap Huang Tu twice, but fortunately, he still retained some reason and didn't make any radical moves.

At the time of the stalemate, Zhu Youzhu happened to come over with Xu Hai and Qin Ji, and when he saw Mu Bin at the door, Zhu Youzhu nodded, and then said to Huang Tu: "Go and report it, and say that the old people in the palace are visiting." ”

has arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and there is no need to conceal his identity, but Zhu Youzhu is not a person who likes to use his identity to oppress people, so he just said that he was an old man in the palace, and did not call himself me.

Besides, he is now here to visit Zhang Ru, the elder brother, as a brother, rather than deigning to come to the Bianhou Mansion as an emperor.

Huang Tu was stunned for a moment, and then carefully looked at the dress of the young man with a sickly white face opposite, and also looked at Qin Ji and Xu Hai beside him. After a while, a title got into Huang Tu's mind, and he immediately knelt on his knees: "Chen Jinyi Wei Baihu Huang Tu, see Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Youzhu raised his hand, and his tone was hurried: "Get up!" Take me in. ”

Huang Tu didn't make it difficult this time, and immediately got up and walked towards Zhang Ru's study with Zhu Youzhang. Mu Bin also wanted to follow in, but the two disabled former Jinyi guards, who were still kneeling on the ground, stood up and blocked his way again.

These men who have experienced the war can kneel in front of the emperor, but it does not mean that they will bow their heads to Mu Bin.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door of the study, and Huang Tu's voice came from outside: "Master Hou, Your Majesty is here." ”

Zhang Ru didn't make a sound, holding the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and a white cloth was slowly wiping the smooth blade of the embroidered spring knife.

"Knock knock."

"Master Hou?" Huang Tu raised his voice and shouted again.

This time, Zhang Ru inside reacted: "No." ”

In the whole world, if you dare to say that the emperor is coming, I am afraid that only Zhang Ru is the only one.

Zhu Youzhu was not angry at all, but said in a low voice: "Brother Tiger, you really misunderstood." ”
