Chapter 130 The Emperor's Decision

Emperor Jiajing said: "However, this matter involves so much, where should we start?"

"Your Majesty, the participation of Dongchang is even the dominance of the horse market. The evidence is convincing. You can start with Dongchang first." Lu Bing stood up and cupped his hands.

Emperor Jiajing frowned and said, "Is there any definite evidence that Chen Hong participated or even led?"

Lu Bing didn't want to deceive the emperor, so he was at a loss for words.

Emperor Jiajing shook his head and said: "You, I will not stop you from doing everything in the Northland, because it is only superficial and does not touch the core. Those civil servants can bear it, except because they see In addition to my complexion, it is also because there is Chen Hong standing in front of me. But when you return to Beijing, you still only stare at Chen Hong, so after Chen Hong is down, what are you going to do with the others? Do you want to cause chaos?"

Lu Bing was speechless. From his point of view, he definitely wanted to take down Chen Hong first, but from the point of view of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing hoped to deal with this matter with the least shock and influence, and it should be done.

Seeing that Lu Bing was silent, Emperor Jiajing continued on his own: "Chen Hong is just a slave after all, and he won't be able to make any big waves when the time comes. I don't think he can connect so many people together. Deceive the emperor and sell the country. You must know that since ancient times, eunuchs and ministers have been natural enemies. Even if they struggle for a while, they will not coexist for such a long time. Maybe Chen Hong pushed the horse market in the early days, but later it was able to achieve such a huge influence. There are people 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 thinking about it carefully, he also felt that there was some truth.

Before going to Beidi, Lu Bing also felt that the culprit was Chen Hong, but after going around the north, he was a little confused. Chen Hong really has such great energy?Lu Bing heard that Emperor Jiajing had said everything to this point, so he didn't say any more. He never thought that he could accomplish a single battle today. If Chen Hong is so easy to overthrow, it will not be his turn.The emperor defended it like this, he must have other uses for Chen Hong.

Seeing that Lu Bing was silent, Jiajing said with a smile: "I know there is some friction between you, but you are both old acquaintances, so let's each take a step back. I also know that your friction is caused by the grievances between Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Yes, I will ask him to come in later, and I will make peace with you, let him avoid you in the future, and stop messing with you. You should work hard and find out the man behind the horse market. This person has such influence , is really dangerous. What is Chen Hong compared to?"

Since the emperor had his own plans, Lu Bing also acquiesced. Although he failed to bring down Chen Hong this time, since the emperor said that he would not let him mess with him, he naturally relaxed Dongchang's restraint on Jinyiwei to support him. Jinyiwei and Dongchang check and balance each other.From this point of view, the emperor no longer trusts Chen Hong so much.It was only because Lu Bing recovered the loss and kept Chen Hong useful that he was not withdrawn.

Thinking of this, Lu Bing said: "All listen to the emperor."

Emperor Jiajing listened, nodded in satisfaction, and asked Huang Jin to call Chen Hong in to speak.

Lu Bing chatted with Emperor Jiajing for a few words, and asked about Lu Song's physical condition.Without saying a few words, Chen Hong bowed his waist and walked in quickly.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" After Chen Hong came in, he plopped and knelt beside Emperor Jiajing's bed, bowed his head and shouted long live!

Emperor Jiajing showed a cold face, and snorted coldly: "It seems that you have confessed your crime!"

Chen Hong fell on the ground with his upper body, and said in a muffled voice: "This old slave is convicted!"

Although Emperor Jiajing told Lu Bing that he would let Chen Hong go, he actually held his breath in his heart. Seeing Chen Hong's behavior made him feel a little better, but he still couldn't help scolding: "You are my confidant. Minister, I treat you well and trust you! But you..." Emperor Jiajing said this, 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 slammed the whisk in his hand. On Chen Hong: "You are a fool! How dare you take advantage of the master's family! It is not too much to cut you into pieces!"

Chen Hong lowered his body even lower, while Huang Jin hurriedly ran over, picked up Fuchen, and handed both hands to Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing grabbed Fuchen, shook it twice, calmed down his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Okay! Lift your head up!"

Chen Hong raised his head obediently, his fat face was full of tears, and he whimpered: "Your Majesty, this old slave was confused for a while, originally he wanted to use the horse market to drive spies into Mongolia so that he could investigate information, so his subordinates told this old slave The little prince wanted to do business, so the minister wanted to use his tricks and break into the grassland. But I didn't expect...the final development of the matter would not be controlled by the old slave, and it was so involved! The old slave...the old slave owed the emperor! slave……"

Chen Hong broke down in tears while talking, while Lu Bing watched coldly and sneered in his heart.

Emperor Jiajing saw Chen Hong crying bitterly, although he knew that he was putting on airs, but his heart softened. After all, this is his cronies who followed him since childhood!

"Okay, okay! Don't be hypocritical!" Emperor Jiajing said impatiently.

After hearing this, Chen Hong hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve.

Emperor Jiajing coughed twice, and said: "I have already told Wenfu just now that I will not pursue you anymore, and you should not provoke him again in the future. I don't ask you to turn hostility into friendship, but you also have to do a good job of superficial skills for me! At least treat each other with respect!"

Chen Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, and Lu Bing, who was sitting on the embroidered stool, looked at each other, and both could see the disdain and resentment hidden deep in the eyes of the other.

Emperor Jiajing could see it naturally, but he didn't say much. For Emperor Jiajing, the temperature was just right for such a situation.

Emperor Jiajing continued: "Chen Hong, you have to cooperate with Wenfu's next task and explain to me all the people who participated in the horse market! At the same time, I will pour out all the people who put you in your pocket. If Wenfu finds out If you have something to hide, I will not spare you lightly!"

Chen Hong kowtowed like a peck, not even daring to say it!
Emperor Jiajing nodded, and said to Lu Bing: "Wenfu, you can do whatever you want and dig deeper into this case!"

Lu Bing bowed his hands and agreed.

"Okay! Lu Bing, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, listens to the seal!" Emperor Jiajing said seriously, and Lu Bing hurriedly got up and knelt down.

"In view of your devotion to your duties during this northern tour, and your defeat of the Mongolian army during the northern tour, I hereby promote you as Jinyiwei Beizhen Fushi, in charge of Beizhen Fushi!" busy recording.

When Lu Bing heard this, he asked him to go to Fusi in Beizhen, and his heart was like a mirror. It seemed that the emperor had planned a long time ago, and all the roads had been paved and pointed out.

And Emperor Jiajing's rewards haven't ended yet, Lu Bing concentrated his attention, waiting to hear Emperor Jiajing's rewards for his brothers.
