"Master Daoyan, the master didn't rest well last night. Xun Ying glared at Dao Yan dissatisfied, Dao Yan usually cares about Ma Xiuying's body very much, but this will encourage Ma Xiuying to intercede with Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang is in a very bad mood now, wouldn't this make Ma Xiuying very embarrassed.

She didn't know that real monks had a compassionate and self-sacrificing heart, and if Dao Yan was to ignore the life and death of the people, he would not be the Dao Yan master of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Ma Xiuying can pay attention to Daoyan's mood, and she has this intention, she can't let Zhu Yuanzhang kill wantonly. She said, "I was just trying to discuss with you how to persuade the emperor. ”

Dao Yan was reminded by Xun Ying, only then did he notice that Ma Xiuying's face was a little haggard, and hurriedly grabbed her wrist and blamed herself: "Your pulse is a little depressed, don't worry about this, the poor monk will go to the emperor by himself." ”

"He won't listen to you. Ma Xiuying shook her head, even she didn't dare to guarantee that she could persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, let alone Daoyan.

Dao Yan lowered his head, a sense of frustration and guilt surged in his heart, he once complained that Zhu Yuanzhang did not take care of Ma Xiuying, but he himself let Ma Xiuying worry, what is the difference between this and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ma Xiuying didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "Don't worry about me, even if the emperor can't listen to my advice, he won't do anything to me." ”

On the one hand, the life and death of the people, and on the other hand, Ma Xiuying, Dao Yan wanted to speak and stopped, after all, his concern for the people prevented him from saying anything to persuade Ma Xiuying. However, the unwillingness in my heart became deeper and deeper, and my mood began to change slowly.

Ma Xiuying saw that he was depressed, thinking that he couldn't let go of the people, and said: "Things should be done sooner rather than later, I will go to persuade the emperor." ”

"The poor monk accompanies you to see the emperor. Dao Yan didn't want Ma Xiuying to bear Zhu Yuanzhang's anger alone.

"You're tired after a day's work, take a rest first, and I'll go back as soon as I go. Ma Xiuying didn't tell Dao Yan that Zhu Yuanzhang had the best face, and it was not easy to persuade outsiders.

"The poor monk went back to the Buddha hall to do his homework. Dao Yan became more and more lost, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt that these emotions had affected his state of mind, and he should repent to the Buddha.

As soon as Ma Xiuying inquired, she knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was still in the imperial study, so she came directly to the imperial study to ask for a meeting.

This time the audience was not blocked, Ma Xiuying saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of folds in front of her, and even threw them on the ground, she picked up a few folds and put them back on the royal table, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you have been sleeping and eating for a few days, the concubine has boiled a little ginseng soup and asked you to drink it, and the concubine also asked the emperor to take care of the dragon body, don't overwork." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak to Ma Xiuying first, but reprimanded the prison attendant, "Are you all dead? ”

The wardens immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, they really had a hard time and couldn't tell it. Zhu Yuanzhang himself was angry and threw the folds everywhere, these folds can only be touched by special people, and if they touch them, they are doing politics.

There was an old eunuch beside Zhu Yuanzhang before, and it was completely out of kindness, pointing out that there were obvious mistakes in the official document. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the eunuch was right, but he still immediately ordered him to be expelled from the palace and sent back to his hometown, the reason was that the eunuch "interfered in politics". So from now on, except for confidants and eunuchs like Zhao Cheng and Qingtong Yunyi, how dare other eunuchs move Zhu Yuanzhang's twists and turns at will.

Ma Xiuying saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was angry for no reason, and knew that he was in a very bad mood, so she hurriedly said: "Please calm the emperor's anger, it is your order that these palace people are not allowed to touch Shuzhang without your permission, they are just acting on orders, and there is no fault." It's that the concubine body moved the chapter without your will, it's the concubine's body, isn't it? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, and shouted angrily: "You guys don't get out yet!"

The palace people picked up a life, and hurriedly crawled out.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry, and asked lightly: "What is the matter with the queen?" He knew that Ma Xiuying would not just send a bowl of ginseng soup.

Ma Xiuying said: "The concubine heard that Bachelor Song was convicted because of Hu Weiyong, is there anything wrong?"

"Who is talking too much in front of you?" Zhu Yuanzhang took out a copy from the fold and threw it to Ma Xiuying, "You can see it yourself." ”

Ma Xiuying opened the fold, which was the content of the official impeachment of Song Lian's family for colluding with Hu Weiyong for plotting rebellion, and the following was criticized by Zhu Yuanzhang with the imperial pen: "Conspiracy to commit rebellion and capital crime!" Ma Xiuying closed the fold and asked: "Bachelor Song has long resigned and returned to his hometown, how can he participate in Hu Weiyong's incident?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "He didn't, his son and grandson have a close relationship with Hu Weiyong, will he not know?"

Ma Xiuying said: "If Master Song really colluded with Hu Weiyong, why should he resign, staying in the capital is not better to cooperate with Hu Weiyong's plan." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, this time Hu Weiyong's case was not a few because of one person, and he refused to let it go anyway if he felt suspicious.

Ma Xiuying continued: "The concubine heard that after returning to his hometown, Master Song devoted himself to writing, and rarely asked about foreign affairs, and a few juniors may hide it from him and say that it is not necessarily. And he will go to Beijing every year to meet the emperor, even if he is unwell, he will come as promised, how can he be so loyal to you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't speak.

Ma Xiuying persuaded bitterly: "Master Song is the teacher of the prince and many princes, ordinary people invite teachers for their children, and they still practice the gift of respecting teachers for their lives, not to mention our family of the Son of Heaven? You can't punish him with capital because of his junior's fault, it's unfair to him." And if he is convicted, it will also affect the reputation of the prince. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently: "The "Da Ming Law" inherits the heinous heinousness, stipulating that those who 'plot rebellion' and 'great rebellion', regardless of the master or accomplice, will be delayed, and grandfathers, sons, grandchildren, brothers and people living together will be beheaded as long as they are over 16 years old. The queen always advises me to enforce the law impartially, shouldn't I deal with Song Lian according to the law?"

Sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang will give amnesty to the world, but it is stipulated that there are ten kinds of criminals who cannot be forgiven, and these ten kinds of crimes are rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, unrighteousness, disrespect, filial piety, disharmony, injustice, and civil strife.

Ma Xiuying was questioned, "But ......"

"No, but. Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted her, "I have a law to follow to deal with Song Lian, and it will not affect the reputation of the crown prince." The queen was unwell and went back to rest early. Qing Tong and send the queen back to the palace!"

Qing Tong was full of smiles and nodded, "Queen Mother, the slave will send you back to the palace." ”

"You stay here and wait for the emperor. Ma Xiuying left the imperial study angrily.

Xunying came up, and when she saw that Ma Xiuying's face was not safe, she knew that persuading Zhu Yuanzhang was ineffective, and she didn't dare to say more, so she silently followed Ma Xiuying's side.

"Damn "Da Ming Law"!" Ma Xiuying was angry, she wanted to ask Zhu Yuanzhang why he didn't treat those innocent people according to "Da Ming Law" since he wanted to deal with Song Lian according to "Da Ming Law". It's a pity that before the words came out, he was forced out of the imperial study by Zhu Yuanzhang.
