Chapter 576: Unrest inside and outside the palace

Watching the group of palace people leave mournfully, Ma Xiuying felt very uncomfortable, but no one could disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's will. Besides, it is an extraordinary time, and it is difficult to ensure that there are still Hu Weiyong's people mixed in the palace, and it is understandable that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to carefully review it, but it is a pity that I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated in this.

"Master, let's go back. Xun Ying persuaded in a low voice, she knew that Ma Xiuying would be unhappy when she saw this.

"Let's go back. Ma Xiuying said listlessly, and suddenly asked Fushun halfway through, "No one in Kunning Palace has been taken away, right?"

"Nope. Fushun hurriedly replied: "The people of Kunning Palace are all carefully serving their masters and rarely interact with outsiders, so the emperor did not let people check Kunning Palace. ”

Ma Xiuying glanced at him and said lightly: "It's good if you don't have it, if someone wants to move the people of Kunning Palace, you need to tell him in time." ”

"Yes. Fushun Nuono replied.

Ma Xiuying slept very unsteadily this night, always feeling that someone was crying in her ears, but there was nothing when she opened her eyes. She didn't want to alarm Xun Ying and other palace maids, and she couldn't sleep alone.

The next day, Xun Ying was frightened by Ma Xiuying's haggard appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Master, didn't you rest yesterday? ”

Ma Xiuying doesn't like to be around when she sleeps, so there is no small couch for the palace maid in her living room, only when she is bedridden, Xunying will stay by the bed all night, and she usually drives Xunying away to sleep alone.

Ma Xiuying yawned and asked habitually, "Is Master Daoyan here?"

"Master, you forgot, Master Dao Yan is going to attend the Dharma Conference today, and he also needs to contact the shadow guard...... "Xun Ying's voice gradually lowered.

Ma Xiuying suddenly remembered this, and patted her head with a wry smile, "This memory is really getting worse and worse." ”

Xun Ying combed Ma Xiuying's hair loosely, saw large clusters of silver threads sandwiched in the black hair, and said with a forced smile: "The master's memory is very good, I listened to you and Master Daoyan count the shortcomings of the slaves and maids on the night of Qixi Festival, but none of them are left behind." ”

Ma Xiuying was amused, staring at Xun Ying in the bronze mirror and scolding, "You cautious guy still holds a grudge." ”

Xun Ying smiled, and quickly braided his hair into several braids with both hands, black hair on the outside, white hair on the inside, and then lightly twisted, it was a black hair.

"You don't have to bother so much in the future, you have to serve the old when you get old. Ma Xiuying said indifferently. Sunying will take care of her hair every day to prevent her gray hair from leaking. But Xun Ying forgot that Ma Xiuying would break up her hair every night when she rested, and the long hair was on her chest, how could she not see the white hair inside.

Sunshadow lowered her head, tears rolling in her eyes. In the past, Ma Xiuying had black hair like a waterfall, but with Ma Xiuying's illness, her hair gradually turned gray in the past two years. I heard that people with strong blood have good hair, and people with weak blood have gray hair, and I don't know if Ma Xiuying has recovered her black hair.

Ma Xiuying saw that her words made Xun Ying cry, and couldn't help laughing: "You're not a little girl anymore, you still cry at every turn." ”

"The slave and maid went and brought breakfast and medicine to the master. Xunying inhaled and left under the pretext, she really couldn't cry in front of Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying saw Xunying go out, and her smile faded. The sad and helpless appearance of those palace people always lingered in her mind, she didn't plan to care about this matter, but the norms of conscience made it impossible for her to sit idly by. There may be Hu Weiyong's henchmen among these palace people, but I believe that more people are innocent, she knows very well Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament of "I'd rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let go of one", if she stands by and watches, I don't know how many unjust souls will be added to this palace, and that is also her sin.

Persuasion must be persuaded, but Zhu Yuanzhang is angry now, and I am afraid that the more he persuades him, the more he will not listen, and he needs to find a suitable reason. Ma Xiuying planned to wait for Daoyan to return to the palace before discussing with him.

In the evening, Daoyan returned to the palace with a solemn face, and before Ma Xiuying could speak, he said first: "Please persuade the emperor not to make up murder." ”

"What's wrong?" Ma Xiuying rarely saw Dao Yan so anxious.

Dao Yan looked at Ma Xiuying guiltily, he didn't want Ma Xiuying to overwork, but now it seems that only Ma Xiuying can dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang. He slowly opened his mouth and talked about what he had seen and heard when he left the palace.

It turned out that after Dao Yan contacted Mu Longsheng, he knew the danger of the night of Qixi Festival. But what is even more shocking is in the back, Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to raid Hu Weiyong's mansion, and ordered the arrest of officials who had close contacts with Hu Weiyong, even those who only had a few words of conversation should be arrested and interrogated, and even some officials who were not in the capital but had dealt with Hu Weiyong as long as they had dealt with Hu Weiyong were escorted back to Beijing for interrogation.

Among them is Song Lian, a college student, who was implicated by his eldest grandson Song Shen. In the second year of Liu Ji's death, he was completely disappointed in Zhu Yuanzhang and returned to his hometown. This time, Zhu Yuanzhang found that Song Shen had close contacts with Hu Weiyong, and thought that Song Lian was also involved, regardless of whether Song Lian had resigned or not, and ordered him to be escorted back to Beijing immediately to punish the crime.

In addition to Song Lian, many others were implicated in the Hu Weiyong case.

Dao Yan had long considered that this Hu Weiyong incident might set off a bloody storm, but it was shocking to imagine that there would never be actual contact.

On the way from the palace to the Heavenly Realm Temple, he saw the official escorting the prisoners almost at any time, and heard the howls of passers-by at any time. He also saw that some officials actually broke into the homes of ordinary people and searched wantonly, where were they arresting criminals, and it was clear that they were taking this opportunity to rob the people.

He couldn't see the innocent people suffering from the fish pond, so he found the left and right good people of the Heavenly Realm Temple, and begged the monks to jointly beg the emperor to be merciful and not to harm the innocent.

Who knew that the two sanctimonious good people did not agree, and said that this was a political event, and people outside the party could not be involved.

Dao Yan sneered and brushed his sleeves away, he understood that these monks with monkhood were blinded by fame and fortune, where would they really care about the life and death of the people. He hurried back to the palace and asked Ma Xiuying to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang that no matter what, he had to give it a try.

Ma Xiuying opened her mouth in surprise, it turned out that not only the chickens and dogs in the palace were restless, but also the outside of the palace was in chaos. Through Dao Yan's elaboration, she thoroughly understood what a bad situation the Hu Weiyong incident had caused.

Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior this time was more tyrannical than any time, because Hu Weiyong directly touched his most sensitive nerves, and when he thought that there were so many people secretly supporting Hu Weiyong to overthrow his throne, he couldn't sleep well, and if he didn't completely eliminate Hu Weiyong's henchmen, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to sleep well.
