Chapter 237: Although the kingdom has no way until death, it will not change

In the bloody battle of the Hunhe River between the Ming Dynasty and the newly rebellious Houjin, Qin Liangyu turned out to be a latecomer, and if Ma Qiancheng was still alive, then he or she would definitely have someone who could lead the Shizhu Army to the Hunhe River.

couldn't help but think of these past events, Qin Liangyu pursed her lips like a little woman, but sighed in her heart that she was really old, and she would always think of those past events intentionally or unintentionally, and she felt that she was making people.

Life is like a play, Qin Liangyu's life, without any whitewashing and interpretation, is magnificent enough.

can not be inferior to Chu Bawang, Huo Quzhi, Li Jing, Chang Yuchun, these first-class generals in the land of China for thousands of years, whether it is her intelligence and wisdom or her courage and invincibility.

The only regret may be that I didn't avenge my deceased husband with my own hands, but this is also the sorrow of being a courtier, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.

couldn't help but remind Qin Liangyu of the last sentence in the last letter her deceased husband wrote to herself in prison:

'Though there is no way in the kingdom, it will not change unto death. ’

This is Ma Qiancheng's last words, and it is Qin Liangyu's vow to live his life.

This time, I said again that their Ma family and Qin family have been bound by the word loyalty and righteousness for generations.

But Ma Qiancheng knew that he was imprisoned by traitors as a hero, even if he was about to die of illness, but he still turned a deaf ear, he still instructed his wife and told his wife that even if he died, he would not be jealous of the court.

But the soldiers and horses of Tusi in Sichuan were called wolf soldiers in the national dynasty, and they were all unruly and did not listen to education.

I'm afraid that they will turn their faces and rise up, and it is too late for the people above the temple to appease these toasts one by one on weekdays.

Didn't he see a rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Banzhou, and he sent hundreds of thousands of horses, and even most of the elite of Liaodong came to the far southwest?

And why did Emperor Wanli dare to put Shizhu Ma Qiancheng in prison?

Isn't it because the Ma family was kidnapped by the word Zhongliang that Emperor Wanli was sure that even if he killed him, he would not oppose him at all?

This is also the sorrow of the loyal ministers, but what is even more sad is that the person who avenged his family revenge was none other than someone else, and finally played the eunuch Qiu Chengyun to death, and it was a eunuch who avenged the false accusation, and this eunuch turned out to be Wei Zhongxian.

The ceremonial eunuch Qiu Chengyun did two wrong things in his life, and these two things almost rewrote history, and even said that it was not a rewriting of general history but a change of the entire Ming Dynasty.

The first thing was that Shi Zhu Xuanfu caused Ma Qiancheng to be falsely imprisoned by him.

It was in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, and in addition to being angry with the ministers, the fat emperor also only loved two things, one was drinking, and the other was accumulating wealth.

Because he heard that there were many silver mines in the Shizhu area, the Wanli Emperor was very happy, so he sent Qiu Chengyun to be the mining tax eunuch of the entire Sichuan, and then the first target was the Shizhu area of Kuizhou.

As soon as Qiu Chengyun arrived, he put on the posture of the slave of the Son of Heaven and made a stone pillar a miasma.

He asked the county order to post a notice, ordering all the people who lived on the mine to roll up and get out of the house within a month, and the house was completely demolished without any compensation.

This kind of disaster did not implicate Ma Qiancheng, but tens of millions of local people were about to lose their homes, and they all trusted this Shizhu Xuanfu envoy who was an enemy of ten thousand people, so they all came to ask Ma Qiancheng and asked him to help the people intercede with the eunuch Qiu Chengyun and even with the Wanli Emperor.

In the face of the people's requests, Ma Qiancheng couldn't refuse, so he took out five thousand taels of silver from his family and gave it to Qiu Chengyun, hoping that Qiu Chengyun could put the local people on the face of the silver and stop harassing him.

Qiu Chengyun's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the silver, and he accepted it without even saying a polite word.

However, he accepted it, and he also told Ma Qiancheng that the silver had to be added to another 10,000 taels.

Because, according to the rules of eunuchs who generally go out of Beijing to do things for the emperor, the five thousand taels of silver are personally accepted by him, and the additional 10,000 taels are the black money collected for the Wanli Emperor.

This is probably the unwritten sharing ratio between the emperor and the eunuchs when they collect black money, right?

Emperor Wanli, the most he did in his life was to count the silver, but where did he get so much silver to count?

Don't rely on eunuchs like Qiu Chengyun to go out to collect taxes and bribes or even blackmail, and then the eunuchs have a small head, and he keeps the big head himself?

In the face of the people's request, Ma Qiancheng made a difficulty, after all, he is not a corrupt official, and the money in his family is limited, and he doesn't have so much to get another 10,000 taels for a while.

But Ma Qiancheng still agreed hard, if he didn't agree, it wouldn't work, so many people were about to be kicked out of their homes and had nowhere to live.

After Ma Qiancheng went back, he found some local officials and people, and explained Qiu Chengyun's attitude in detail one by one, hoping that everyone could have money to help the people and help them survive this catastrophe.

With Xuanfu taking the lead, there were naturally a lot of people who contributed money, and the 10,000 taels of silver was really enough for some officials and the people involved in the demolition.

Maybe there are still people among the people who took the silver who are depressed and want to take revenge on this dead eunuch, right?

It seems that I don't know who leaked out, in short, Qiu Chengyun's bribery incident finally caused the whole stone pillar to boil, and some people also threatened to write to the imperial court to publicize the ugly things that Qiu Chengyun had done, so that everyone in the world would know.

Qiu Chengyun really became famous all over the world because of this, but it was not him who was unlucky, but Ma Qiancheng.

Qiu Chengyun was angry that Ma Qiancheng was not particular about doing things, how could you get this kind of transaction under the table on the table?

You don't have to give the money if you feel sorry, no one is forcing you, but why do you want to make me stink?

In fact, the bad luck is that Ma Qiancheng is not a corrupt official, if Ma Qiancheng has so much silver, he will not have to raise funds.

But if Ma Qiancheng is really a corrupt official, he will never be willing to give it to Qiu Chengyun for the sake of the people if he has money.

Wouldn't it be more cost-effective for him to use the money to seek an official position for himself?

Demolishing the people's houses, you can demolish them casually, how can you not demolish the heads of your own Xuanfu envoys, right?

It can be said that Ma Qiancheng can be completely uninvolved, but because of this incident, Qiu Chengyun sued him in front of Emperor Wanli.

Qiu Chengyun saw that the matter was big and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he packed all the fifteen thousand taels of silver that Ma Qiancheng gave him to Emperor Wanli and mailed it over, and also attached a secret fold with the meaning of the manual, saying:

"Shi Yan Tu Sima Qiancheng bribed the slave and maid with 15,000 taels of silver to obstruct the opening of the mine.

This silver is now presented to the emperor and is waiting for disposal. ”

When Wanli saw the report, he was both happy and angry, and he even waved this secret fold in front of all the ministers and said ostentatiously:

"Up and down, inside and outside, who is as loyal as Qiu Chengyun?"

Well, yes, whoever can collect money for him is faithful, and whoever hinders his people is unfaithful and guilty.

This is the truth of Emperor Wanli.

So the emperor issued an edict and arrested Ma Qiancheng in Yun'an Prison, waiting for investigation and punishment, and Ma Qiancheng was imprisoned.
