The fat man seemed to know something, and after collecting other people's money, he didn't want to say anything, and said, "The King of Wu originally wanted to kill the Grand Commander, but somehow, but Princess Ma knew about this, so he told the King of Wu that this child was spoiled by us since childhood, so he did such an unpredictable thing. But since ancient times, the sages often said that if the son does not teach, the father's fault, the teacher's laziness, the teacher's laziness, and the child does not learn, it is not appropriate. If the young are not learning, what is the old man? Wen Zheng's disaster today is somewhat related to your uncle's failure to discipline him. I think that in recent years, you will be able to achieve peace, defeat Chen Yesen, and make great contributions. Hongdu even relied on him to resist Chen Youliang's 600,000 army, so that His Highness had enough time to fight Chen Youliang. Seeing this contribution, even if there is any mistake, he would spare him to die."

Princess Ma lost her mother in her early years and was adopted by Guo Zixing and his wife as her adopted daughter. When Guo Zixing was the marshal, Princess Ma married the brave and fighting King of Wu. Guo Zixing was irritable and narrow-minded. Under the instigation of others, she locked up the King of Wu and refused to give her food. Princess Ma stole the hot cakes that had just been released and put them in her arms to the King of Wu, and even burned her chest. In the era when the King of Wu led the army to fight, she sewed clothes and made shoes for the soldiers. Once, she and Zhu Yuan were with him.

Zhang's hostile Chen Youliang's army was approaching the city, and many officials and people were preparing to flee. In an emergency moment when people were panicked, Princess Ma was calm as usual, "spent all the gold and silk in the palace to reward the soldiers", which made the people of Jinling City calm. Therefore, the King of Wu respected and cherished Princess Ma very much. Princess Ma never refuted what she said, so she let the Grand Governor live? However, the King of Wu was very angry with the Grand Governor and imprisoned him, and no one was allowed to see him?"

The fat man talked for a long time, but didn't care whether the woman was happy. He grabbed her daughter Hong on the table, took a sip, and said, "Girl, I know that's all that, if-?"

The woman in green turned her head suddenly and shouted, "What if?"

The fat man glanced at the broken silver on the table and said, "I want to say, if the girl wants to know where the governor was imprisoned, the girl still needs to pay a little money. Is this a beheading business?"

The woman in green clothes did not say a word, took out a ingot of silver, threw it over, and said, "Where is it!"

The fat man saw the broken silver in his hand and said, "Tongcheng!"

...

The man was very tall, only a few inches shorter than Xiao Yun. His sword eyebrows were on his temples, starry eyes, and his face was handsome. There was an indescribable confidence between his eyebrows. When people glanced at him, they felt that this person must be extraordinary.

At this time, the man slowly went downstairs. His pace was very slow, shaking the paper fan casually. His originally handsome appearance, coupled with his calm and leisurely expression, even Xiao Yun had to say that this man did have an attractive charm.

"Damn it, you're not going to be in front of you. Why are you so beautiful?" Xiao Yun couldn't help but curse when he saw that everyone in the lobby was attracted by the man.

The third floor of Zuixian Tower is not far from the lobby, but the man walked for a long time. Except for Xiao Yun secretly cursing his hypocritical behavior in the lobby, the rest of the people took it for granted. Even Fang Taiping and others, who had always been impatient, also saw it with relish, which really made Xiao Yun sweat and cursed in his heart: "It turns out that it's still a slutty person who is still a good person?"

The man seemed to be surprised by Xiao Yungang's ability to guess the riddle, and was quite surprised by his talent. He waved the paper fan and walked towards him. When he arrived in front of him, he would hold his fists and salute him as soon as he put away the paper fan.

Xiao Yun was scolding in his heart, but he was not a ungrateful person. Seeing this man wearing white Confucian uniform, with a rosy Confucian belt behind him, a piece of purple jade on his waist, a paper fan in his hand, his face was like a crown of jade, and his demeanor was elegant. He was indeed a bit extraordinary. Such a person could salute himself in public, which was enough face. Although he was unhappy, it was on the surface. In his heart, others respected me one foot, and I also bent down to salute him.

Recently, I have read a lot of historical information about the Ming Dynasty. When I saw Empress Ma, I couldn't help but say a few words. Regarding this famous queen in history, I have to say that only Empress Changsun of Li Shimin can compare with her. What I want to talk about today is Empress Ma, who saved the character under the butcher knife of Zhu Yuanzhang.

As we all know, women in the Ming Dynasty could not interfere in politics. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that "even though the concubines were in the world, they should not interfere in politics." Because "if they favor too much, they would be arrogant and unruly, and the upper and lower levels were out of order." Therefore, they specially ordered people to compile the "Women's Commandments" to show warnings. However, the exception to Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang's only words to Empress Ma were extremely obedient. This is true. Empress Ma saved many lives from Zhu Yuanzhang.

"History of Ming Dynasty" (Volume 113) records: When Guo Jingxiang was the governor of Hezhou, one time, someone revealed that Guo Jingxiang's son was holding a spear and wanted to kill his father Guo Jingxiang. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and said on the spot that he wanted to execute the rebellious son. Empress Ma said: "Guo Jingxiang has only one son, and the rumors may be unreliable. Killing his son may have cut off Guo Jingxiang's descendants." Later, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to investigate, and it was indeed a rumor. It was not Ma's persuasion that the Guo family would be destroyed.

According to the "Ming History amp;#8226; Biography of Empress Ma", after Zhu Yuanzhang was angry in the front hall due to the government, Empress Ma often advised him, "Although the emperor was strict, there were many people who were probation and killed." After the lecturer Song Lian retired and returned home, he was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case and was sentenced to death by his grandson Song Shen. Empress Ma remembered the contribution of Song Lian to teach the prince to study, and pleaded with Zhu Yuanzhang, but was rejected. When he was having dinner, Empress Ma was depressed, did not drink alcohol or eat meat. Zhu Yuanzhang asked about the reason. She replied: I mourn the punishment of Mr. Song and wanted to serve his son as his teacher. Zhu Yuanzhang was very unhappy, so he threw down his chopsticks and left. But the next day he ordered the pardon of Song Lian and was exiled to Maozhou.

"History of Ming Dynasty" (Volume 113) records that Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of money to build the Nanjing city. At that time, there was a rich man among the people who could rival the country, known as "Shen Wansan". He wanted to please Taizu and proposed to support one-third of the city construction expenses. Taizu was disgusted with this request. The emperor built a city and asked a civilian to fund it, which was a shameful glory. He refused. Shen Wansan was determined to please the emperor, but he made another request, willing to pay the whole country's army. This angered Taizu and the emperor's army.

Why did the team give private rewards? It was considered that Shen Wansan was an ominous person. In a rage, he ordered Shen Wansan to be arrested. Empress Ma asked about the reason for her love and politely told Taizu: "Shen Wansan donated money is not a bad thing, but his name of donating money is wrong. Why do you have to be so angry?" He also said: "The punishment is to punish illegal people, not evil people. Shen Wansan did not break the law. The emperor killed him, which was incompatible with the law." Fortunately, after Empress Ma's persuasion, Emperor Zhu pardoned Shen Wansan for death and sentenced to be exiled to Yunnan.

Once Zhu Yuanzhang went out for a private visit in casual clothes. He heard someone explaining the answer to the riddle in the street, which was ridiculed by Queen Ma’s big feet. Someone next to him said: “The old man’s queen is a virtuous queen, and her big feet help him sit firmly!” Taizu was furious when he heard this, and returned to the palace to talk about it to Queen Ma, and decided to execute the people who made fun of the queen and the old man. Queen Ma persuaded him: “You were in Huaiyuan at the beginning.

When war, the soldiers were defeated and injured, and the pursuers came, it was difficult for you to walk. If it weren't for my big feet carrying you to escape to the mountains to hide, how could you be today? My big feet were famous. In the army at that time, people called me Big Foot, and you were not angry. I was proud of these big feet, but now, you are angry about it, so why bother?" Zhu Yuanzhang's anger disappeared a lot after hearing Empress Ma's words, so he took these people lightly.

As a female intellectual, Empress Ma has a deeper side in addition to being kind and generous. After the Ming Dynasty general conquered the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, he sent the seized gold treasures and beautiful jade back to Nanjing. Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to see these treasures, but Empress Ma poured cold water on the side: "The Yuan Dynasty has these treasures but cannot save the country. I think, maybe the real emperors have other treasures?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, pondered for a moment, and said, "I understand, the queen means that talent is treasure." Empress Ma continued: "Your Majesty is right.

Your Majesty and I were born from poverty and humbleness to be able to achieve today. I often worry that arrogance and arrogance will be born from luxury, and that the country will be in danger will be caused by small things. Therefore, I hope to summon talents to jointly govern the world." Empress Ma continued: "The law will be wrong after repeated changes, and the law will be wrong; the people will be troubled; the people will be troubled; the people will be troubled; the emperor heard this and immediately called the female history to record it in history.

At the last moment of her life, she still made repeated suggestions. In August of the 15th year of Hongwu (1382), Empress Ma fell seriously ill and was bedridden. The queen knew Zhu Yuanzhang's bad temper and was afraid that it would not be cured and implicated the doctor, so she insisted on not taking medicine. On her deathbed, Zhu Yuanzhang asked her what else she had to say. She said: "I hope Your Majesty will seek talented people and accept advice, be careful as the beginning, all descendants will be virtuous, and the subjects will get the right place."

The history books also say that on the day Empress Ma's funeral, the people of Nanjing were almost intrigued and spontaneously gave her a funeral. It was midsummer, and it was recorded that the day suddenly flashed and thundered, and it rained heavily. The thousands of people who helped the elderly and the young cried in the heavy rain, but none of them went home to hide from the rain.

However, since Empress Ma died, Zhu Yuanzhang became more lonely, his temper became more and more irritable, and he hit the ministers more frequently, and his heads were more likely to fall off. Those unlucky ministers, palace maids and concubines, probably missed Empress Ma more than Zhu Yuanzhang.
