Chapter 474: It's All True!
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
At this moment, Jiajing looked indifferently at Chen Hong, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Chen Hong, it's so late, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
When Chen Hong heard this, he first looked happy, and then the whole person became uneasy again, and after hesitating for a moment, he knocked his head heavily on the ground three times, and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid has taken the liberty to disturb you this time, and I really have something extremely important to report to you!"
As Chen Hong spoke, he took out the many incriminating evidence about Lu Fang that had been prepared long ago from his sleeve, held it high above his head, and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, here are the many crimes committed by the eunuch Lu Fang, the master of ceremonies, which are really too many to write, and the slaves and maids really can't look past it, so they ......."
Chen Hong didn't finish the rest of the words, because he keenly felt that there was an invisible pressure enveloping him, and even breathing became difficult.
After listening to Chen Hong's words, I saw Jiajing squinting slightly, and did not take the envelope from Chen Hong's hand in a hurry, but raised his eyebrows and asked unhurriedly.
"Chen Hong, do you know what you're talking about?"
When Chen Hong heard this, his whole breath couldn't help but suffocate, and he immediately thought that he had no way out, his expression became firm, he gritted his teeth, and continued.
"Your Majesty, the slave knows very well what she is talking about!"
"All along, Lu Fang relied on your favor, wantonly bribes, sold official titles, framed loyalty, and excluded dissidents, his godson Yang Jinshui, during his tenure as the chief eunuch of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, relied on the power in his own hands to take bribes!"
Chen Hong paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the annual income of the Weaving Bureau is not only what it seems."
"In addition, as far as the slave knows, there are two kinds of ledgers inside the Weaving Bureau, one is the open account, which is specially shown to Your Majesty, and the other is the secret account, and the things recorded on it are the real accounts of the Weaving Bureau."
"And through this method, most of the silver obtained by embezzlement fell into Lu Fang's pocket!"
"In addition, before the imperial court officially lifted the sea ban, the smuggling families in the southeast coastal area also had an unclear relationship with Lu Fang, the eunuch in charge of the seal, and those families would take out a part of their income every year to bribe Lu Fang."
"Your Majesty, what the slave said is true, you only need to look at the evidence in the slave's hand, you can know that what the slave said is true, if there is a lie in the middle, I am willing to be hit by five thunders from the sky!"
Seeing that Jiajing didn't respond for a long time, Chen Hong suddenly panicked, and hurriedly swore an oath.
Just as Chen Hong was still anxiously waiting for Jiajing's resolution, he only felt a light in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw Jiajing silently and took a lot of evidence from his hands.
Seeing this, Chen Hong couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and secretly said to himself: "Your Majesty has taken over the evidence from me, hum, Lu Fang, you will soon be unlucky!" ”
Just when Chen Hong thought that Jiajing would be furious after reading the evidence related to Lu Fang, he would immediately send someone to deal with Lu Fang, but after Jiajing only glanced at it slightly, he lost interest and commanded instead.
"Well, I know about this matter, let's go back!"
When Chen Hong heard this, he was dumbfounded, and immediately plucked up his courage and asked Jiajing: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, aren't you going to deal with ......"
It's just that before Chen Hong's words were finished, he met Jiajing's extraordinarily cold gaze.
Jiajing took in the expression on Chen Hong's face, sneered, and then asked rhetorically.
"What, Chen Hong, are you teaching me how to do things?"
When Chen Hong heard this, the whole person immediately panicked, and he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say a complete sentence.
"No...... Don't dare, Your Majesty, the slave just thinks ......"
Before Chen Hong could finish his words to defend himself, he was coldly interrupted by Jiajing.
"Okay, if it's okay, you can go back, it's so late, I'm a little tired!"
When Chen Hong heard this, even if he was unwilling, he had to respond respectfully.
"Obey, Your Majesty, the slave will retire!"
After Chen Hong left, Jiajing looked at the many incriminating evidence related to Lu Fang on the bookcase, his expression was cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After Chen Hong came out of the Qianqing Palace, on the way back, he bumped into Lu Fang who came in a hurry.
Seeing this, Chen Hong immediately got out of the way, and immediately asked Lu Fang without a smile: "Ancestor, it's so late, where are you going?" ”
When Lu Fang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and responded unhurriedly: "It's really unfortunate, our family just got the news, it seems that a mouse has infiltrated the Qianqing Palace where His Majesty is located!" ”
"As the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, our family naturally has this obligation, go and confirm it, lest some unsightly rats take this opportunity to slander His Majesty!"
When Lu Fang said this, he also looked Chen Hong up and down by the way, and the contempt in his eyes was self-evident.
After listening to Lu Fang's ridicule, Chen Hong's resentment towards Lu Fang in his heart went to a new level.
At this moment, he couldn't wait to devour Lu Fang alive, so he saw Chen Hong clenching his fists and looking at Lu Fang with a kind of selective gaze.
Because he used too much force, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and a trace of blood was pouring out, but at this moment, Chen Hong didn't feel anything about it, only to see his face looking at Lu Fang with a gloomy face, and said word by word.
"Hmph, let's see, Your Majesty has learned about the crimes you have committed, I want to see you, how to explain to Your Majesty!"
After dropping this sentence, Chen Hong did not stop at the scene, and immediately left.
After listening to Chen Hong's words, Lu Fang suddenly had a confused expression on his face, and said to himself silently: "Your Majesty, you know everything?" ”
Immediately, I saw Lu Fang come back to his senses and muttered to himself silently.
"No, no, I have to rush to see His Majesty immediately and explain it to him in person!"
After that, I saw Lu Fang walking with extremely eager steps, marching in the direction where the Qianqing Palace was located.
……
Since Chen Hong left, only Jiajing was left in the huge Qianqing Palace.
At this moment, he was unhurriedly picking up the cyan teapot on the table, pouring himself a cup of hot tea, and sipping it to himself.
The moment the tea is entered, first bitter, and then sweet, this feeling makes Jiajing extremely intoxicated.
Before this, Jiajing browsed all the evidence submitted by Chen Hong.
His intuition told him that everything Chen Hong said just now was true!
Whether it is the bright and dark account books on the side of the Weaving Bureau, or the interests between Lu Fang and those coastal smuggling families when the imperial court has not lifted the sea ban before, and even some of the things that sell officials and lords in the middle, are also true!
At this moment, I saw the guide eunuch walking in with small steps, and reported respectfully to Jiajing.
"Your Majesty, Gonggong Lu is asking to see you outside, you see ......"
After listening to the report of the guide eunuch, Jiajing raised his eyebrows, and then commanded as usual.
"Well, let him in!"
