Chapter 350: Writing a Will Before Going to Court

Empress Xu's words were recognized by many people, isn't that the case?

Moreover, emperors hate the dictatorship of their relatives by marriage the most, especially those emperors who are experiencing the dictatorship of their relatives by marriage, they hate it to death.

They are emperors. Emperors. If the power is not in their own hands, what kind of emperors are they?

Many queens remained silent. They promoted many of their own family members to consolidate their position.

They are not the only ones who do this, so many queens will not stop promoting their own family members just because of what a few queens say.

"Well, it depends on the individual," Li Wu said. After reading the comments, she knew that many of these queens were helpless, and she could more or less understand that.

Like Empress Lü, if she had not promoted her own family members, her family members would have had a high enough status and she herself would have been deposed by Liu Bang long ago.

Liu Bang didn't like the son born to Empress Lu and wanted to depose him many times and make the child born to Concubine Qi the crown prince. If Empress Lu didn't have the means and the Lu family behind her, how could she have held on to the position of queen? So it is understandable.

After all, many emperors were not Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty or Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and they treated their queens just averagely.

"Many queens don't have as stable a position as the three queens. In order to avoid being pulled down from the throne, they still need their own power," said Li Wu. The three queens naturally understood this.

Many people in front of the sky curtain also knew that, not to mention that the queen needed power, ordinary people like them, if they did not have a strong family, they would be bullied to death. If their family was strong enough, then their lives would be better.

So many women know this and can understand it.

"It is true what the immortal said, but it can't be too much," said Empress Chang Sun. Thinking of her own brother's later life, she felt a little headache. It was because he went too far that he behaved like that later. She hoped he could correct it.

Otherwise, even if she is the queen, the mother of the future emperor, she cannot be protected.

"Let's not talk about these things anymore, and continue talking about Queen Ma's deeds," Li Wu said, and the three queens nodded.

"To the ministers, Queen Ma, you have saved many of their lives. With you around, they dare to go to court with peace of mind.

Queen Ma, you don’t know that after your death, those ministers went to court every day with trembling hands. They wrote wills to their families before they dared to go to court, fearing that they would not be able to return after going to court. "Li Wu shook his head. It was really hard to be a minister in the late Hongwu period.

"Ah," Empress Ma was a little dumbfounded, and Empress Xu shrank back. That's right, at that time the emperor disliked everyone. If he made a happy slogan, someone would lose their head. Countless people died.

If my mother were here, this wouldn't have happened. She is kind and could have persuaded my father.

They advised him to stop joking, saying that he might be dragged away and chopped before he could even say a word.

This is why the ministers in the late Hongwu period collectively broke down. They had such a miserable life. God knows how much they missed the days when the queen and the prince were around.

Without the Queen and the Crown Prince, their lives would be in danger and they didn’t know when they would die.

Empress Ma also had a gloomy face and said, "This Chongba is too outrageous!" Empress Ma was unhappy. She had advised Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty many times, naturally for his own good.

She didn't want Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty to be known as a tyrant in the end, and didn't want him to kill so many people.

She naturally understood Zhu Yuanzhang, and knew that he was extremely violent and wanted to chop off people's heads at any time, but as long as she was there, she could persuade him.

Unexpectedly, after her death, things would get to the point where ministers would write suicide notes before attending court. Empress Ma didn't even dare to think about how many people Zhu Yuanzhang had killed after her death.

The reactions of Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty in front of the sky curtain and the old Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty were different.

The elderly Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty just had red eyes and was filled with nostalgia. If his sister were still alive, he would naturally not have killed so many people.

The girl could still persuade him, but now he really couldn't control his temper.

"Indeed, without you, Empress Ma, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty would have gone mad, leading to the impression of later generations that he was extremely cruel and liked to skin daylilies. In short, he was an image of a tyrant," Li Wu shook his head. That's why many people disliked and hated Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty when they mentioned him.

In front of the sky curtain, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty had a gloomy face. Was he a tyrant?

How could he be a tyrant!

Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was not convinced and made all kinds of comments in the barrage. He was so angry that even the way he looked at his ministers was different.

The ministers trembled in fear. No, that was not what they said. It was people in later generations who thought so. Why were they looked at like that? They were afraid.

But I do think what he said is right. Isn't he a tyrant?

They thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.

The other emperors knew a lot about Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. It was true that he was a tyrant, but he only killed those ministers.

To the people, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was a good emperor who cared about them.

"I will go back and persuade Zhu Yuanzhang. He must not do this anymore," Empress Ma also sighed. She knew that only she could control Zhu Yuanzhang.

She felt both heartbroken and upset. She couldn't imagine how sad Chongba was after she and Biao'er died.

Li Wu nodded fiercely, "We really need to persuade them. Too many people died later. It didn't have to be that many people died."

Queen Ma also looked a little sad, but she didn't say anything else. She had already thought about what to do when she returned.

“Empress Ma, you are very fond of talents. Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was quite impulsive, and many times it was thanks to your persuasion that the ministers were able to escape disaster.

For example, when someone in Gaomi reported that the military officer Guo Jingxiang's son wanted to kill him, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty became furious and wanted to kill Guo Jingxiang's son. It was you, Empress Ma, who dissuaded him. After Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty investigated the matter, he found that he was innocent, which saved the life of Guo Jingxiang's son.

And Empress Ma, your adopted son Li Wenzhong was guarding Yanzhou. Later, Yang Xian falsely accused Li Wenzhong of not abiding by discipline. The Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was very angry and wanted to recall Li Wenzhong to question him.

It was thanks to your dissuasion, Empress Ma, that Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty did not recall Li Wenzhong.

Li Wenzhong later made great contributions.

There was also the scholar Song Lian who was implicated in the affairs of his eldest grandson Song Shen. He was arrested and sentenced to death. It was thanks to your persuasion the following year that Song Lian was finally spared the death penalty.

There was also the richest man, Shen Wansan, who was doing business overseas and was forced to donate one-third of the money to build the capital's city wall, and was later forced to pay money to reward the army.

When Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty learned about this, he thought it violated a big taboo and wanted to execute Shen Wansan, saying that a common man who rewarded the emperor's army was a rioter and should be executed.

It was thanks to your persuasion, Empress Ma, that Shen Wansan was able to save his life. Later, he was exiled to Yunnan.

There are many such cases, and it was Queen Ma who mediated and saved many lives."

In front of the sky curtain, Song Lian, Shen Wansan, Guo Jingxiang, Li Wenzhong and others whose names were mentioned were dumbfounded.

They all knelt on the ground to thank Queen Ma. If it weren't for Queen Ma, their fate would be unimaginable.
