After Ma Wannian nodded his agreement, the Imperial Guard took out a silver note of 100,000 taels from his bosom and put it in Qin Liangyu's hand: "This is a small gift from your majesty, please accept it, Duke Qin."
Qin Liangyu didn't want to accept it in the first place, and she didn't want to accept it even more after seeing the number on it.
She waved her hands and said, "This is too much. I can't accept it. I heard that the treasury is in deficit. Why not hand this money over to the Ministry of Revenue to make up for the deficit?"
"This is your majesty's money and has nothing to do with the national treasury."
Seeing that Qin Liangyu was about to refuse, the Jinyiwei said directly: "This is a reward from His Majesty, you must accept it."
Qin Liangyu had no choice but to take the banknote and hold it in her hand.
The Jinyiwei bowed and said goodbye.
After sending away the Jinyiwei, Qin Yiming walked in with a group of people.
He asked, "Aunt, what are the Jinyiwei doing here?"
Qin Liangyu did not answer the question, but said to Qin Yiming: "Yiming, His Majesty has treated our Qin family well. We must repay the emperor's kindness in the future."
Qin Yiming scratched the back of his head and said, "Don't worry, aunt. You have watched me grow up, and I will never do anything to betray the emperor's grace."
After chatting for a while, the others left one after another.
Qin Yiming was the only one left in the yard.
Qin Liangyu gave him many warnings, fearing that he would stand on the wrong side or do the wrong thing.
Qin Yiming nodded continuously, until he felt dizzy and blurry.
Qin Liangyu was still worried, so she called Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming to her side and gave them some instructions.
More than 20 days later, on July 11, Qin Liangyu died of natural causes.
When the news reached the capital, the news of Li Banghua's death had just arrived in the capital.
Chongzhen cried bitterly in front of all the civil and military officials in the court until he fainted.
After waking up, Chongzhen suppressed his grief and drafted posthumous titles for the two.
After discussion, Li Banghua was posthumously named Wen Zhong.
Qin Liangyu was posthumously named Zhongwu.
Chongzhen granted him an imperial burial (state funeral), and enshrined him in the Temple of Local Worthies and the Temple of Famous Officials, and built a memorial archway to commemorate his merits.
