Chapter 560: Unspeakable Crimes
Liang Min's work efficiency is very high, and Xun Ying conveyed Ma Xiuying's meaning, and he immediately prepared the materials. There is a lot of information about Zhao Cheng, which shows that he has been paying attention to Zhao Cheng's every move for a long time and collecting evidence against Zhao Cheng. During this time, he was suppressed by Zhao Cheng, Ma Xiuying's decision to clean up Zhao Cheng made him ecstatic, if it weren't for Xunying's warning that it must be true evidence, he would have wanted to add fuel and vinegar to report more evidence of Zhao Cheng's crimes.
Xun Ying read it to Ma Xiuying one by one, and the more she read it, the more unsightly her face became. Unexpectedly, Zhao Cheng looked honest, but he was actually very arrogant and greedy, and he actually did a lot of unsightly things.
Evidence shows that Zhao Cheng used his position to loot and extort money, and he built a splendid estate on the outskirts of Beijing, which is said to contain some tribute that he had privately withheld.
He often suppressed and excluded those palace people who disobeyed him and opposed him, and every time Zhu Yuanzhang disposed of the palace people, he would frame a few innocent people. Liang Min has Ma Xiuying to protect him and has not been poisoned by him, but several of Liang Min's men have died unknown.
There is one piece of incriminating evidence that Xun Ying can't believe that Zhao Cheng actually has a good palace maid in the palace, and the palace maid is the maid brought by Concubine Ge Li into the palace.
Concubine Ge Li is a Fanbang woman dedicated to Zhu Yuanzhang from a small country in the Western Regions, blonde hair and blue eyes, enchanting and charming, Zhu Yuanzhang was fortunate to ignore her a few times because he disliked her because she had a smell on her body. The woman in the Western Regions has always been bold and enthusiastic, I don't know if the maid couldn't bear the loneliness or if there was a reason for it, so she actually caught up with Zhao Cheng.
What made Ma Xiuying most angry was that the evidence provided by Liang Min also pointed out that Zhao Cheng and Hu Weiyong had colluded, and the two had more than one private contact, and Guo Hui had a palace maid named Ping'er who had contact with these two people before.
I really don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, Zhao Cheng actually had so many secrets. So if you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do!
Zhao Cheng thought he was covering up well, concealing Zhu Yuanzhang and guarding against Ma Xiuying, but he didn't expect that the enemy who could really make him irreversible was Liang Min. As a person of the same kind, Liang Min naturally has many channels to collect his evidence, and even some unknown secrets in the eunuch circle can be dug up.
Ma Xiuying recalled Guo Hui's previous actions, as well as Hu Weiyong's obstruction of Shen Wansan's construction of the city wall, and then thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude in the past two years, and had a rough idea in her heart, it turned out that the ministers who supported Guo Hui against her behind her were Hu Weiyong and Zhao Cheng!
"Ahh
An exclamation interrupted Ma Xiuying's thoughts, and Ma Xiuying said: "What other crimes does Zhao Cheng have, read on." ”
Who knew that Xun Ying actually hid the paper behind him and refused to take it out.
"Bring it!" Ma Xiuying frowned, what else is there to hide like this?
"Master......" Xun Ying was embarrassed.
Ma Xiuying raised her voice, "Bring it!"
Seeing that Ma Xiuying was angry, Xun Ying had no choice but to say: "You can watch it, but there must be Master Dao Yan, otherwise the slave is afraid that you will be angry." ”
"You still take care of me?" Ma Xiuying snorted dissatisfiedly, but she also wanted to see Dao Yan, and said that Dao Yan should have come for diagnosis and treatment, but before she appeared, she asked people to go to Dao Yan.
Dao Yan knelt in the Buddha hall all night to repent of his mistakes, and when he heard that Ma Xiuying had summoned him, he confessed to the Buddha with shame and hurried to Kunning Palace. Fortunately, Ma Xiuying was not uncomfortable, but Xunying asked that he must be by his side before he was willing to tell Ma Xiuying about Zhao Cheng's crime.
Dao Yan accompanied Ma Xiuying to listen to Xunying enumerate Zhao Cheng's crimes.
However, what Xun Ying said below shocked Ma Xiuying, and even Dao Yan was stunned.
Liang Min said in his testimony that he suspected that Zhao Cheng and Hu Weiyong had conspired to kill Liu Ji.
After Liu Ji resigned and returned to his hometown, because he had the title of Earl of Sincerity, he had to enter the court every New Year's Day to thank the emperor.
In the eighth year of Hongwu, although Liu Ji was not good at acting, he still participated in the early dynasty on New Year's Day like all officials, and then made a song "Yi Mao Sui Early Dynasty" in Fengtian Palace.
In the middle of the first month, Liu Gang, Song Lian's protégé, came to Liu Ji's mansion in the capital and asked Liu Ji to select the best part of Song Lian's more than 100 volumes of works and edit them into a book for reading, and also asked Liu Ji to write a preface for the new one. Liu Ji agreed without hesitation at that time.
In the second half of the first month, Liu Ji was infected with a cold, and after Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he immediately sent Zhao Cheng and Hu Weiyong to visit the imperial doctor.
Liu Ji took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and his condition became more serious. He met Zhu Yuanzhang with his illness, and tactfully told Zhu Yuanzhang that Hu Weiyong had brought the imperial doctor to visit the patient, and that he was more unwell after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he just said some comforting words to him to recuperate.
In late March, Liu Ji, who was no longer able to move freely, was accompanied by his son Liu Lian, and under the escort of Zhu Yuanzhang's special personnel, he set off from Beijing to return to his hometown. Soon after returning to Qingtian, he died in his hometown at the age of sixty-five.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad, and posthumously presented Liu Ji as the prince and teacher, nicknamed Wencheng. Soon, he reactivated Li Shanchang, who had also returned to his hometown after illness, and asked him to lead Zhongshu Province, Dadu Governor's Mansion, and Yushitai together with Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao, to discuss military affairs and supervise the construction of Yuanqiu.
When Liu Ji died, Ma Xiuying was already seriously ill, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Ma Xiuying and Liu Ji were good friends, so no one was allowed to leak the news of Liu Ji's death. If it weren't for Liang Min's mention of this incident in this report exposing Zhao Cheng's crimes, I'm afraid Ma Xiuying would have been kept in the dark.
"Good Hu Weiyong! Good Zhao Cheng!" Ma Xiuying laughed miserably, she thought the same as Liang Min, Hu Weiyong and Zhao Cheng were to blame for Liu Ji's death, how could an ordinary wind and cold become more and more serious.
Dao Yan quickly supported Ma Xiuying with his hand, and luckily rested on her back, "Don't be angry, if something happens to you, Liu Gong's grievances will be even more unclear." ”
Ma Xiuying leaned half of her body into Dao Yan's arms, silently calming the anger in her heart.
Xun Ying quietly looked at the two, and there was a hint of strangeness in her heart, she felt that Ma Xiuying and Dao Yan's words and deeds were different from before, and they seemed to be closer. However, as long as it is good for Ma Xiuying, she is happy to see it, she lowered her head and pretended not to see anything.
The strong arm dragged Ma Xiuying, Dao Yan unconsciously retracted a little, he had long wanted to hug Ma Xiuying, it was a kind of closeness without any blasphemy, and it was a devotion to the woman he loved from the heart.
Feeling Dao Yan's careful care, Ma Xiuying blushed slightly, the skin she touched was hot, and Dao Yan's heartbeat seemed to be transmitted from the skin to her body, making her heart involuntarily and regularly resonate with Dao Yan's heart.
