Chapter 176

The only person Song Nan can probe is Mu Bin, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Mu Bin has recently put aside all affairs, frequently served the emperor, and Fan Heng is almost inseparable like a pair of twin brothers; Those who don't know the way should be the honey and oil blended by these two people, and those who understand things know the way, and these two people have to be familiar with each other in front of Zhengde.

To Song Nan, Mu Bin was also a lot more polite, especially when Zhu Houzhao specially mentioned to Mu Bin last time that he wanted to let Song Nan have the identity of freely entering and leaving the palace, Mu Bin knew in his heart that in the mind of the new emperor, Song Nan's status was much higher than he imagined, so he almost did not hesitate to propose to give Song Nan the position of deputy commander of the Jinyi Wei Han General Camp.

Mu Bin felt more and more that Song Nan was not simple, the deputy commander of the Han General Camp was obviously a fictitious position, Mu Bin just wanted to try Song Nan's ambitions, even if Song Nan accepted this position, he would also become a chicken rib general figure, the emperor of 1,500 people accompanied the Jinyi Wei Han General Camp was almost controlled by Mu Bin, and his admiral was also Mu Bin's hardcore henchman, Shi Wenyi, who had followed him for many years, Song Nan did not want to be able to command a soldier in it; On the contrary, he forcibly inserted a deputy admiral, which would bring trouble to Song Nan himself.

I don't know if Song Nan saw the stakes, or if he didn't have any ambition at all, in short, he politely declined his proposal, which made Mu Bin also breathe a sigh of relief, and he still couldn't figure out what kind of person he was to Song Nan Mu Bin still was, but at least Song Nan was harmless to himself, especially at this sensitive time when the new emperor ascended the throne, in the end, Song Nan was still a person from Jinyiwei, and from the perspective of daily behavior, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

When Song Nan came to the Jinyi Wei General Ya to visit, Mu Bin just came out of the palace and returned to the yamen, Mu Bin was extremely enthusiastic to pull Song Nan into the inner yamen to talk, after the two sat down, Song Nan suddenly got up and saluted, and said with a very solemn expression: "Commander Mou, has the humble post behaved a little inappropriately recently, Commander Envoy, you tell me bluntly, what have I done wrong recently?" ”

Mu Bin was surprised: "Where do you start with this?" You are in good order in the south of the thousand households, and there is nothing wrong with it, did Song Qianhu listen to what others said. ”

Song Nan said: "It's not a matter in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, but I have recently heard that some people are talking about the things around the emperor behind their backs, saying that the lowly position is to play and have fun with the emperor, and to abolish the government. ”

Commander Mu was surprised: "Is there such a rumor? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

Song Nan said: "I learned about this from the little grandfather of the British government, and said that the court had a lot of complaints about me, and it seemed to be dissatisfied. ”

Commander Mu laughed: "How is it possible? If you say that the little grandfather himself said this, I will still believe it, but if you want to say that this is from the mouth of the outer court, then it is a joke, who can put in the eyes of the cabinet scholars? Don't say that you are just a small thousand households, it is me Mu Bin, they are not in their eyes, I don't mean to offend, I just tell the truth, the eyes of the civil officials are above the top, and I and other martial artists are not worth mentioning in their eyes. ”

Song Nan said with relief in his heart: "My lord is saying that it is impossible for this news to come out of the mouths of the officials of the outer court of the cabinet?" ”

Mu Bin smiled: "It's impossible, you don't have that much face; To be honest, I also feel a little unaccustomed to the things you accompany the emperor to tinker with, but after all, those games such as balls are exercises and are beneficial to the emperor's body, and some sons and brothers in Beijing also follow suit and play, so I don't think there is any harm; What I can remind you is that don't let the emperor indulge in this too much, otherwise sooner or later someone will trouble you with this matter. ”

Song Nan fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's good, I was scared, I thought I had stabbed a leak; This little grandfather seems to be scaring me, and I don't know where I offended him. ”

Mu Bin laughed and said: "It must have scared you, the matter between you and the county lord of the Guogong Mansion, this official has heard of it, and your ability is really not small, but I am looking forward to our Jinyi Weizhong to have a son-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, when will I invite this commander to drink the wedding wine?" ”

Song Nan was startled, and hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't talk nonsense, this matter has spread out, and Grandpa Guo doesn't want his humble life." ”

Mu Bin smiled: "What are you afraid of him?" Isn't the Guogong Mansion great? Won't the county lord of the government not marry? ”

Song Nan didn't want to talk too much about this matter, and he also knew in his heart that the little county lord frequently went in and out of his house, so he could hide it from the eyes of the spy leader Mu Bin, but of course Song Nan didn't want to talk about his private affairs, from Mu Bin's tone, he must have thought that he was going to cling to the backer of the Guogong Mansion, I am afraid that the first thought of people who know about this matter is so, and Song Nan is also very helpless.

Mu Bin leaned back in the chair, shook Erlang's legs, and suddenly asked, "Song Nan, what is the relationship between you and Liu Jin?" ”

Song Nan said: "It's quite familiar, and I dealt with it for a while when I was in the East Palace. ”

Mu Bin thought for a while and said, "The people in the inner court are blowing their beards and staring at each other, what do you think of this?" ”

Song Nan said: "I don't dare to speak falsely. ”

Mu Bin waved his hand and said: "Don't tell me these false things, you are my Jinyiwei's person, although the battle in the inner court has nothing to do with my Jinyiwei for the time being, but it has a lot to do with my Jinyiwei in the future, I have long wanted to talk to you about this matter, and if you have any opinions, just say it directly." ”

Song Nan said: "What do you think? ”

Mu Bin smiled and said, "Okay, you are also very cautious." ”

Song Nan said: "The humble position was frightened by the fake news that the little grandfather said, and he didn't dare to mix it easily." ”

Mu Bin said: "Okay, this official also has a heart-to-heart with you today, in this official's thoughts, he naturally hopes that Fan Heng is finished, but what I'm worried about is whether it is a good thing to change someone, if Liu Jin and they master the East Factory, will it be good for us Jinyiwei; I don't know Liu Jin well, so I asked you what you think of Liu Jin. ”

Song Nan said: "Father-in-law Liu, I have some contact with him, but I can't see his inner thoughts in the contact on weekdays, but if the adults want to ask me what I really think, I can only say that I am willing to bet on Liu Jin, I don't have a good impression of Fan Heng, a dog thing, he almost took his life." ”

Mu Bin said with a smile: "I forgot about this stubble, but Liu Jin and they don't seem to have much chance of winning, it seems that the emperor seems to favor Liu Jin, but it doesn't seem to play a decisive role, the emperor is newly enthroned, it is impossible to offend the courtiers for Liu Jin, especially the cabinet scholars, otherwise such a desperate civil official will make trouble, wouldn't the emperor be stunned." ”

Song Nan was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "What does Lord Mu mean that the cabinet scholars support Wang Yue Fan Heng's side?" ”

Mu Bin was shocked and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, everyone knows it." ”

Song Nan asked persistently: "Why is this happening?" ”

Mu Bin said: "Do you really want to know the way? ”

Song Nan said: "Of course I want to know Lu Dao, didn't you also say that which party is in charge of the inner court has a huge impact on the future of my Jinyiwei, as a member of Jinyiwei, how can I not care?" ”

Mu Bin smiled and said: "Okay, the commander will teach you a trick today, although you are smart and clever, but the court is full of fog, and you can't see through it without a pair of discerning eyes, you are only allowed to listen to my words, not to spread them, once you say it, I will kill you." ”

Song Nan was startled and said embarrassedly: "So serious? ”

Mu Bin said: "Do you still want to know the reason for the Dao?" ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Mu Bin sneered: "You are a little tempered. ”

Song Nan said: "It's rare to be able to listen to the teachings of adults, and I don't have any dirty intentions towards adults, and I won't say anything about it, so I am naturally not afraid." ”

Mu Bin said: "Then I'll tell you the reason, you answer me a question first, after the emperor ascended the throne, what is the relationship between him and the ministers?" To tell the truth, to say what you really feel in your heart, don't mention perfunctory words. ”

Song Nan thought for a while and said: "On the surface, the emperor and the officials of the outer court have gotten along fairly well in the past two months, but they always feel that there is a kind of estrangement of mutual respect, as if there is no mutual harmony between them; I don't know if I'm feeling right. ”

Mu Bin raised his big finger and praised: "Yes, even if you still have some Taoism, it is already very good to be able to see these details; I'll tell you one more thing, the emperor has not opened the sutra feast three times in a row, and each time he has promised to do so, but he just doesn't attend, either on the grounds that the queen mother is unwell, or on other grounds to prevaricate, this morning in the court, the scholar Liu Jian raised the matter, and the emperor promised that he would definitely participate in the sutra feast next time, but I think it is very mysterious, and the emperor will release their pigeons again. ”

The Ming Dynasty is not only the prince to go out of the pavilion to give lectures, but also to listen to the ministers to read the scriptures three times a month after becoming the emperor, to study the words of ancient and modern sages, and to learn from the past; Zhengde also complained to Song Nan a few times in private, but with Song Nan's half-witted political consciousness, he couldn't understand what the relationship between the banquet and the emperor and the ministers was.

Looking at Song Nan's puzzled appearance, Mu Bin thought proudly, no matter how smart you are, it is useless, this kind of thing relies on the insight and consciousness that you have practiced for many years in the court.

So Mu Bin said something that surprised Song Nan slowly with a little smugness.
