Next, before Zheng Haizhu took the initiative to ask, Liu Shimin told her a lot of the rules for entering the Imperial City and the Wenhua Palace.
Zheng Haizhu remembered them one by one. Seeing that Liu Shimin no longer moved his chopsticks and his face became more tired, he was about to leave.
Liu Shimin walked with her behind the screen wall in the front hall and suddenly stopped.
"Girl," Liu Shimin said after hesitating for a moment, "the capital city is no better than Chongming in Songjiang. The chaos in the court and harem is like thunder in June. It will hit menacingly at no time. If you encounter it, don't be too obsessed.
"
Zheng Haizhu stared at the other party, but his tone was modest and inquiring: "Ah Zhu and my father-in-law experienced the danger of life and death a few years ago. If my father-in-law feels that I have done something rash and rash in the past few years, my father-in-law will definitely give me some advice."
come out."
Liu Shimin pursed his lips, suddenly raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, and said slowly: "It's not about giving advice, just a little emotion. Girl, you see, actually, when I say it, it was Chen Ju and Eunuch Chen who protected her first.
Eunuch Chen was like the moon above my head, allowing me to walk in the dark without panicking and seeing the road ahead clearly. Later, Eunuch Chen passed away, so I followed Eunuch Wang in a down-to-earth manner.
Then remember that I am a member of Lord Wanli, and I only work as a servant in the East Palace. After all, I have been blessed to go to the south to manage the weaving bureau. Girl, things are impermanent, life and death are determined, where does the light on our heads come from?
Actually, you don’t have to be obsessed with it. That’s what I mean.”
Zheng Haizhu quickly figured out the meaning of Liu Shimin's words, and some doubts arose in her heart.
I am just a modern person who knows the historical context, but Liu Shimin seems to be a little disdainful of the new emperor Yang Shou.
But the thought flew away and came back, because I thought, there is no way this Eunuch Liu could be the person on the other end of Concubine Zheng and Cui Wensheng.
Or perhaps, Liu Shimin actually advised himself not to get involved with the Donglin sect once he ascended to the Emperor's Hall, right? qqxδnew
Zheng Haizhu then responded sincerely: "My father-in-law has learned this, and the younger generation will remember it."
"Okay, let's go back."
After walking out the door, Hua Er was about to greet Zuofu's mule cart, but Zheng Haizhu turned back.
"My father-in-law, stay here. I have one more thing to ask," Zheng Haizhu said to Liu Shimin, who turned around and approached. "Eunuch Liu, when Ma Xuan died in prison, could my father-in-law be in the capital? Do you know how many times he was there?
What’s the whole story?”
Liu Shimin was stunned.
He quickly considered that instead of using the excuse of being on business in another state and avoiding this topic, he might as well tell what Zheng Haizhu wanted to ask by telling him some information that had already been circulated.
Liu Shimin then sighed: "I was in Beijing, and I was very surprised when I heard about it. Why do you think of asking this again? Is it because Xianglin and his wife felt uncomfortable when they heard that you went to Zhao Prison to befriend Luo Sigong and the others?"
Zheng Haizhu shook his head: "Xianglin was in a hurry to go to Shanhaiguan, and I didn't tell him much about going to see Luo Sigong. I just saw the memorial tablet of Ma Xuanfu in the prison that day, and couldn't help but sigh. I heard that at that time, Rong Zheng
Li Gong, the minister, wrote with great emotion that Master Wanli had already wanted to allow Ma Xuan's father to be released from prison. Why did he hear Xianglin say that his father was still strangled to death by Eunuch Qiu in prison? "
Liu Shimin asked calmly: "Commander Luo didn't tell you?"
Zheng Haizhu said honestly: "Commander Luo's son saw me putting incense on the memorial tablet, so he said that his father was only a thousand households at that time. I understood, so why should I ask more questions."
Liu Shimin's eyebrows relaxed: "You really treat me as Bai Xiaogong, and you come to ask me everything. Well, the commander of the Jinyi Guards back then was named Liu. Liu Wei was a handsome martial artist, and he also respected famous generals like Ma Xuanfu. Ma Xuanfu was imprisoned.
Later, Eunuch Qiu's Dongchang men tortured him, and I heard that Liu Weishuai specially hired a doctor to treat his injuries afterwards, and arranged for his food and medical care. Ma Xuanfu died in the end. In fact, it was an unsolved case."
Zheng Haizhu's eyes flashed: "What do you mean, father-in-law, it may not be Eunuch Qiu who hanged him?"
Liu Shimin nodded: "Qiu Chengyun was indeed in prison at that time, and he should have been tortured. When he was trying to beat Ma Xuanfu, the imperial edict to pardon Ma Xuanfu came to Beizhen Fusi, and Qiu Chengyun came out with his two sons to receive the edict.
, when he entered the imperial prison again, Ma Xuanfu had already given up his breath and died. Well, of course, this was what Eunuch Qiu told the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies when Li Shangshu impeached Qiu Chengyun afterwards."
"Oh?" Zheng Haizhu's face became more and more confused, "That is Beizhen Fusi's territory. Even if Dongchang can intervene, wouldn't Liu Weishuai's Jin Yiwei be present at the same time? I have seen a scribe gossiping about the case of Concubine Zheng and Prince Fu.
, Commander Luo and the people from Dongchang are the joint judges."
Liu Shimin's thoughts seemed to have returned to the situation that year.
He echoed: "Li Shangshu also asked the same question. Alas, Liu Weishuai and his men were searching the house of a courtier at that time. The governor of Fusi in Beizhen was there. The governor was cunning. He should have heard the news of the pardon first and didn't want to
If you offend Eunuch Qiu, let Eunuch Qiu go to the imperial prison alone for interrogation."
Zheng Haizhu was a little shocked and said: "So, there was no one from Dongchang or Jinyiwei in the cell where Ma Xuanfu was imprisoned at that time. He just died like this?"
Liu Shimin recalled: "General Qin and Xianglin came to the capital, and his mother and son naturally wanted to find out. Li Shangshu came forward and asked a prisoner from the Ministry of Punishment to examine the body. It was indeed strangled with a leather rope. Several cells were separated.
, several courtiers were still imprisoned at that time. They said that they heard Eunuch Qiu shouting that he had rebelled if he did not confess, so they strangled Ma Xuanfu to death. However, they also said that they also heard Eunuch Qiu shouting anxiously after returning,
Why is he dead? Someone comes, someone comes."
Zheng Haizhu's eyes were blazing: "Well, in the end, we haven't found out yet, by whose hands Ma Xuanfu died?"
Liu Shimin said in a deep voice: "How else can we investigate? The chief assistant at that time, Ye Xianggao, personally apologized to General Qin. The governor of Fusi in Beizhen was also demoted to Qianhu, and Eunuch Qiu was dismissed from the position of mine supervisor.
Lord Wanli asked Eunuch Lu, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, to personally go to the post house where General Qin was staying to comfort and comfort him. He also appointed General Qin as the new Xuanfu envoy of Shi Ling. Xianglin said that his mother thought of Shi Ling Ruozhen.
If you sever your ties with the imperial court, the chieftains around you will also be ready to take action. When the war between Sichuan and Sichuan breaks out again, the people will suffer the most, so... received the imperial seal, carried the coffin and returned to Sichuan."
Zheng Haizhu felt as if a big stone was pressed on his chest.
Where historians' writings fail and where posterity's mouths and tongues fail to discuss, it is Qin Liangyu's heart that painfully learns from it.
From the perspective of those in later generations who are obsessed with happy novels and want the protagonist to beat him to death immediately even after being scolded for a few words, if the husband died due to the emperor's ignorance and the greed of the eunuch, why didn't the wife lead a rebellion with her son? It is really in vain.
Lotus and Holy Mother are really textbook buns.
But Qin Liangyu is Qin Liangyu, the first person to be recorded in history. In her heart, she not only has her deceased husband, but also the peace of thousands of people under her jurisdiction.
Qin Liangyu really did this. He returned to Shili to succeed the chieftain and continued to guard Sichuan and Sichuan for the Ming Dynasty. He created waves of young blood of the White Army. No matter in the history of that time and space, she was still Zheng.
The time and space where Haizhu is located are injected into the land of Liaodong, trying its best to resist foreign humiliation for the Ming Dynasty.
"Girl, Ah Zhu..." Liu Shimin saw Zheng Haizhu falling into a daze and called her several times.
Looking closer again, I saw two tears hanging on that still young and smooth face.
Zheng Haizhu sniffed: "Eunuch, it's not easy for General Qin."
Liu Shimin murmured: "Xianglin is not easy either."
What he was thinking about was, how many people can let go of the hatred of killing their father? Xianglin can't do it. Yes, Ah Zhu, that boy who has had feelings for you, he can let go of the love between a man and a woman, but he will never
Let go of the hatred of killing his father. It is precisely because of the doubts about the cause of Ma Xuanfu's death that Xianglin has been in so much pain over the years and cannot let go of one obsession, that is, if the emperor of the Zhu family had not wanted to collect money for the inner treasury and sent mining taxes
Eunuchs harassed everyone everywhere, how could Ma Xuanfu be unjustly imprisoned?
After all, the real murderer is the emperor of the Zhu family on the dragon throne.
While Liu Shimin was thinking about it, Zheng Haizhu seemed to be relieved: "Thank you Eunuch Liu for telling me that it turns out that the former commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei did not treat Ma Xuanfu harshly. When I see Xianglin again, I can tell him calmly that I
I’m making friends with Luo Sigong.”
Liu Shimin waved his hand: "Tell me, it doesn't matter. I have been asking for people to protect me from Lao Luo in the past few years. Doesn't Xianglin know about it? I haven't seen him say anything to me. Besides, I am also an internal official, doesn't he also work with me?
Can I work together? How could he have a grudge against you?"
Zheng Haizhu smiled and said goodbye again.
Returning to Zuofu's carriage, the words of the chieftain seen in the imperial edict seemed to appear on the curtain in front of her again.
red?
Eunuch Qiu was already a big man at that time, so he should have been wearing red robes, but who didn't know about Qiu Chengyun entering and leaving the imperial prison?
The red color carved by Ma Xuanfu probably does not refer to the color of Qiu Chengyun's clothes.
Zheng Haizhu thought of Qin Liangyu and secretly gritted his teeth: General Qin, I must find out.
