Emperor Jiajing said: "However, this matter involves such a wide range, where should I start?"
"The emperor, the East Factory participates, and even the Marathon market dominates. The evidence is conclusive. You can start with the East Factory first." Lu Bing got up and said.
Emperor Jiajing frowned and said, "Is there any concrete evidence that Chen Hong participated or even led?"
Lu Bing was reluctant to deceive the king, and was at a loss for words.
Emperor Jiajing shook his head and said: "You, I don’t stop you from doing things in the Northland because it’s nothing but fur and doesn’t touch the inner core. People from the civil official faction can bear it, except for watching In addition to my face, it is because there is Chen Hong in front of him. But you still only stare at Chen Hong when you return to Beijing. Then after Chen Hong falls, what do you plan to do with the others? Do you want to make chaos?"
Lu Bing was speechless. From his standpoint, he definitely hoped to take Chen Hong first, but from the perspective of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing hoped to deal with this matter with the least shock and influence, and it should be.
When the Emperor Jiajing saw Lu Bing not speaking, he continued on his own: "Chen Hong, after all, is just a slave, and he won't be able to make a big wave when he comes. I don't think he can connect so many people together. To deceive the emperor and traitor to the country. You must know that since ancient times, eunuchs and ministers have been natural enemies. There is another person behind the scenes, maybe Chen Hong was also used as a gun."
Lu Bing heard the meaning of maintenance in Emperor Jiajing's words, but after careful consideration, he also felt that there was some truth.
Before going to the North, Lu Bing also felt that Chen Hong was the culprit, but when he went to the north, he was a little confused. Chen Hong really has such a great energy? Lu Bing heard that Emperor Jiajing had said everything for this purpose, so he didn't say much. He didn't think that he would be able to complete his work today. If Chen Hong was toppled so well, he would not be in his turn. The emperor must have used Chen Hong to maintain such protection.
Jiajing saw that Lu Bing was silent, and said with a smile: "I know that there is some friction between you, but you are all old acquaintances, so we each give in. I also know that your friction is caused by the resentment between Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Yes, I will call him in soon, and I will make peace with you so that he will avoid you in the future and stop messing with you. You should use your heart to find out the man behind the horse market. This person is so influential. , It's really dangerous. In comparison, what is Chen Hong's worth?"
Since the emperor had his own plan, Lu Bing acquiesced. Although he did not succeed in overthrowing Chen Hong this time, since the emperor said that he would not provoke him, he naturally relaxed Dongchang’s grip on Jin Yiwei and used it to support him. Jinyiwei and Dongchang check and balance each other. In this way, the emperor did not trust Chen Hong so much anymore. It was only because Lu Bing recovered the loss and kept Chen Hong useful.
Thinking of this, Lu Bing said, "I listen to the emperor."
The Emperor Jiajing nodded in satisfaction and asked Huang Jin to ask Chen Hongjin to speak.
Lu Bing chatted with Emperor Jiajing and asked about Lu Song's physical condition. Without saying a word, Chen Hong bent his waist and walked in quickly.
"Long live my emperor, long live long live!" After Chen Hong came in, he thumped and knelt by the bed of Emperor Jiajing, bowed his head and shouted long live!
Emperor Jiajing showed a cold face and snorted coldly, "It seems that you have convicted yourself!"
Chen Hong hung his upper body on the ground and said muffledly: "The old slave is convicted!"
Although Emperor Jiajing told Lu Bing that he would let Chen Hong go, he actually took a sigh of relief in his heart. Seeing Chen Hong acting like this, he felt a little more relieved, but he couldn't help but yelled: "You are my confidant. Chen, I do not treat you thinly, and I have more trust! But you..." The Emperor Jiajing said that, thinking of the large amount of property that Lu Bing handed over to the horse market, he became even more angry, and couldn't help but slam the whisk in his hand. Chen Hong said: "You are a dog! You dare to take advantage of the master's house! It is not an exaggeration to cut you out!"
Chen Hong lowered his body, and Huang Jin hurried to the side, picked up the whisk, and handed it to Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing grabbed the whisk, flicked it twice, calmed down his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Okay! Hold your head up!"
Chen Hong raised his head obediently, his fat face was bursting with tears, and his voice whimpered: "The emperor, the old slave was confused for a while. Originally, he wanted to use the horse market to infiltrate the spies into Mongolia so that he could investigate intelligence, so his subordinates told the old slave. The little prince wanted to do business, and the minister wanted to use his tactics and break into the grassland. But unexpectedly... the final development of the matter would not be controlled by the old slaves, and the involvement was so wide! Old slaves... The old slaves have a bad grace! Old slaves... "
When Chen Hong was talking, he couldn't make a sound of tears. Lu Bing looked on and sneered in his heart.
When the Emperor Jiajing saw Chen Hong crying bitterly, even though he knew that he was pretending, he still felt soft. After all, he had followed his cronies since he was a child!
"Okay, okay! Don't be hypocritical!" Jiajing Emperor said impatiently.
After listening, Chen Hong hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeves.
Emperor Jiajing coughed slightly, and said: "I have just told Wenfu that I will not pursue you again, and you will not provoke him anymore. I don't ask you to turn fighting into jade silk, but you have to give me a good job! At least we must respect each other as a guest!"
Chen Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, and Lu Bing, who was sitting on the embroidered stool, looked at each other, and they could see the disdain and resentment hidden in the depths of their eyes.
Emperor Jiajing naturally saw it, but didn't say much. For Emperor Jiajing, the temperature was just right for this situation.
Emperor Jiajing continued: "Chen Hong, you have to cooperate with Wenfu's next task, so that everyone involved in the horse market should be clearly explained to me! At the same time, you will be poured out to me if you are in your pocket. If Wenfu checks If you have a private possession, I will not spare you lightly!"
Chen Hong kowtows like a peck, and he dare not even dare!
Emperor Jiajing nodded, and said to Lu Bing: "Wenfu, you can do it, and dig deeper into this case!"
Lu Bing nodded and agreed.
"Okay! Jin Yiwei Qianhu Lu Bing listened to the seal!" Jiajing Emperor said sternly, Lu Bing hurriedly got up and knelt.
"In view of your dedication to your duty during the northern patrol, and you repelled the Mongolian army during the northern patrol, you are hereby promoted to be the governor of Jinyiwei North Town and take charge of the governor of North Town!" Busy to record.
When Lu Bing heard that he was asked to go to Fusi in Beizhen, his heart was like a mirror. It seemed that the emperor had planned for a long time, and all the roads had been paved and pointed out.
But the reward of Emperor Jiajing was not over yet, Lu Bing concentrated his attention, waiting to hear Emperor Jiajing's reward to his brothers.
