With a pop, Chen Tong knelt in front of Li Chen.
He did not defend himself, nor did he beg for mercy. He just knocked his head heavily on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, there is indeed a problem in the Jinyi Guards, but the humble position does not mean shirking responsibility, but the fact that you are not aware of it. The humble position does not ask for Your Highness."
Forgive me, I am worthy of death for my crime, but I beg Your Highness to give me some time so that I can clean up all those scoundrels after I go back, and then I am willing to commit suicide in front of Your Highness."
Li Chen's eyes were like torches, staring closely at Chen Tong who was kneeling in front of him.
Chen Tong is capable and loyal enough, but he is really not worthy of taking on big responsibilities. This is not the first time that Chen Tong has had problems. In the past few times, the troubles were not too big. Chen Tong cannot be entirely blamed.
On the body.
After all, although Sanbao is dead, the entire Jin Yiwei has not been in Chen Tong's hands for a long time. Li Chen does not expect Chen Tong to immediately control the hundreds of thousands of Jin Yiwei in the country, so he gives him the opportunity and space to make mistakes.
But this time the problem is really too big.
Presumably, Sanbao also saw Chen Tong's shortcomings clearly, so he did not hand over the entire Dongchang to him. Until his death, he still asked Li Chen to find another suitable candidate to manage the Dongchang.
Li Chen previously thought that there might be concerns that Chen Tong was not a eunuch and could not take charge of the East Factory, but now it seems that the meaning of the Three Treasures is far from as simple as whether Chen Tong is a eunuch.
Li Chen didn't speak, and Chen Tong knelt on the ground in a kowtow posture without daring to raise his head.
The floor tile broke his forehead, and blood flowed out from the gap. Chen Tong could clearly see a pool of red liquid slowly fainting, but he still did not dare to move.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Chen slowed down and said calmly: "Go and ask Zhou Changshou and Zhou Ping'an to come over."
Li Chen did not deal with Chen Tong.
On the one hand, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Even if Chen Tong is dragged out and killed, it will only make Li Chen lack a loyal person who can be used, which will not help.
On the other hand, Chen Tong followed Li Chen all the way down. He had no credit but hard work. Although Chen Tong could not escape his involvement in this matter, he was not the first person responsible. Even if he had to deal with it, he would have to wait until he returned to Beijing to make plans.
.
The most important thing right now is how to put out the fire, rather than holding people responsible.
But Li Chen already had concerns about Chen Tong.
After hearing this, Chen Tong stood up and silently exited the side room.
After a while, Zhou Changshou and Zhou Ping'an came to Li Chen together.
After saluting, Li Chen waved his hand and handed the secret letter to the two of them.
"Let's see."
After venting, Li Chen's mood has calmed down a lot, at least he will no longer be dazzled by anger, but he is still heavy.
Because the chaos in the capital this time was really huge.
The most important thing is that the bank was ran on, which is completely unacceptable to Li Chen at the moment.
Once the run on the bank continues to be bad and the bank has withdrawn so much money, the bank will inevitably be run and bankrupt. What will happen to Daqin at that time will most likely be the first financial crisis in the history of mankind in this world.
.
Coming from later generations, Li Chen knows better than anyone that the knife of the economy cannot be seen or touched, but it can kill people more cruelly than any other weapon. It can almost turn the world upside down, and toy with a country's applause.
But Li Chen really didn't expect that he would be standing on the edge of the precipice of the economic crisis, a bitter fruit he had sown with his own hands.
