Chapter 235: Montagonous Ambition
Jiang Bin originally served as the commander of the Ulzhou Guard, although he had no other talents, but with his own bravery, he quickly got ahead. As for him really getting close to the emperor, he still relies on the help of one person. β
Regarding Feng Mu's inquiry, Xu Pei knew everything and said seriously.
Feng Mu didn't know why, and continued to ask, "Who is that person?"
"That person is Qian Ning, as a close attendant of the emperor, he can be said to be a popular person around the emperor, many important members of the court have to give him a little thin noodles, and those who are rich and noble are even more servile and try their best to slap him. β
He paused, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The most attentive person among them is the reckless man Jiang Bin, this person seems to be dull, but in fact he harbors evil intentions, after bribing Qian Ning, he was able to get close to the emperor, and the emperor's fun-loving temperament hit it off with that Jiang Bin. Once, the emperor wanted to fight with the tiger, and the rest of the ministers were already paralyzed in fright, but Jiang Bin stepped forward to savior, which made his status in the emperor's heart rise even more sharply. β
Hearing that man was fighting with the tiger, Feng Mu couldn't help but speak: "Since he dares to fight with a tiger, he is not an ordinary martial artist, presumably he is also a strong martial artist." β
Xu Pei nodded, as if he felt that this kid could think of this step at a young age, and it was not simple, so he said: "That Jiang Bin is indeed as you said, he is not an ordinary martial artist, but he looks strong, so the emperor and the ministers think that he relied on his strength to defeat the tiger." But no matter how much he hides it, he can't hide it from the eyes of the world. After this, Jiang Bin often accompanied the emperor and even began to command the town army. He and that Qian Ning were originally the same dog, and instigated the emperor to do many ridiculous things in the leopard room. In the twelfth year of Zhengde, he entered Pingyubo, which can be described as a steady progress. The limelight is unbeatable. Then he broke with Channing, not because he had reformed himself. Rather, there is greater ambition. β
"He is just a military attachΓ©, even if he is pampered and arrogant, he can't do anything big, how can Yang Shoufu let him do whatever he wants? Judging from the words of his predecessors, it is very likely that the cabinet wants to use his hand to suppress Na Channing, let them lose both, and then eradicate them together. β
"You know a lot at a young age. The struggle of the imperial court has always been like this, but everyone underestimated Jiang Bin and ignored the force behind him. With the acquiescence of the cabinet and many civil and military officials, Jiang Bin exposed Qian Ning's conspiracy to accept bribes and rebel with King Ning, which was the beginning of his fox tail. β
Feng Mu still remembers the rebellion of King Ning, he was still by Wang Shouren's side at that time, which can be said to have indirectly witnessed the victory of the counterinsurgency campaign.
It's just that he didn't think of it. In a seemingly simple rebellion, there can be such an intricate entanglement of interests. couldn't help but ask: "Senior, Jiang Bin didn't make an inch of success in the battle to counterinsurgency, and he only denounced Qian Ning. What's the point of exposing his fox tail?"
Xu Pei said with a serious face: "It is precisely because he did not make military merits, but instead commanded the East Factory and Jinyiwei, and only controlled these two institutions. This is enough to show the seriousness of the problem. Later, Jiang Bin was powerful and powerful, and he fell into the courtiers with his personal joy and anger. Wantonly embezzlement and bribery, and cultivation of private parties. Reusing private individuals and eradicating dissidents can be said to have reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. β
"Jiang Bin is so arrogant, how can the emperor sit idly by, and how can the cabinet and the six Shangshu allow him to come?"
Feng Mu's question made Xu Pei smile gloomily, he touched the child's head, and said softly: "You are still a child in the end, you are too idealistic to treat things in the world, there is no perfect person in this world, in other words, even the model of the world is flawed." Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, is also a mortal, so he also accepted bribes from King Ning, but this handle was held in Jiang Bin's hands. The emperor was above 10,000 people, he was bewitched by Jiang Bin, he was confused, and the advice of the courtiers was blocked, so he could only be led by the nose, and what was even more terrifying was that he had been controlled by the thief, which was the most unimaginable thing. β
Feng Mu listened carefully, he really couldn't imagine that a military attache could do this step, in his opinion, to be able to have such a far-reaching plan, the city government has reached the point of almost perversion.
Xu Pei looked at Feng Mu and continued: "You don't have to be too afraid, fortunately, Jiang Bin has a guard who has been planted in a long time ago, this person does not belong to any department, and even the emperor does not know about his existence, but his action level is still above the guards of the Forbidden Palace and the Dragon Guard." β
Feng Mu couldn't help but ask in surprise: "I have come into contact with the 'Five Teeth of the Forbidden Palace', but I have never seen the Dragon Guard, and I have never heard of what my predecessors said. β
"This is natural, because only eleven people know this secret in the whole world, except for the ten Deadpools who are on a mission, the only people who have learned this news are the valley lord here, and the previous valley lord told me when he was dying, I told you now, do you know my intentions?"
Feng Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in disbelief: "My predecessors want me to inherit the valley master, but how can I be virtuous, how can I take on such a big responsibility?"
"Naturally, I don't want you to agree now, fate has another arrangement for you. β
Feng Mu put his mind at ease and asked cautiously, "Senior, can I know the name of that secret organization?"
"The time has not yet come, and you will know when the time comes. β
Feng Mu no longer insisted, he only felt that this matter was getting more and more interesting, although his previous experience was to fight and kill, but it was not so thrilling, he was looking forward to what amazing performance those ten spies would have.
"The emperor is on patrol this time, according to the news that came back, he is looking for you, and the emperor seems to have sensed the coming crisis, so he wants to take this opportunity to gamble, today's saint is not as simple as it seems on the surface, if he is a mediocre son of heaven, surrounded by jackals, he will not live today. β
Hearing Xu Pei's words, Feng Mu couldn't help but sigh that this small valley was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, although he had never heard Grandpa Xu mention this senior before, but since he was Grandpa Xu's second brother, he was a person worthy of his respect.
What's more, he still has the ability to not lose to Grandpa Xu, as well as the responsibility and mind to save the country through the world.
"Senior, I want to eradicate traitors with you, I don't know what I can do?"
Feng Mu's blood boiled, and he took the initiative to ask. Xu Pei looked at him and said with relief: "You have already participated, what you have to do is not to sink in this turmoil, you still have a long way to go." β
Feng Mu nodded seriously, Xu Pei stood up, opened the door of the house, the breeze outside blew into the house, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Although we don't know the origin of that Jiang Bin, we dare to guarantee that he has a great relationship with the Heavenly Gate, and the person sent by the Heavenly Gate to assassinate you must be coming soon."
