After listening to Song Lian's statement, Ma Xiuying immediately ordered Fushun to take the imperial doctor to Fei Ju and Zhou Dexing's mansion to carefully treat the injuries of the two generals, and asked Xunying and Bai Ling to take some food in the palace to comfort the two generals and their families. After arranging all this, she said to Song Lian: "The emperor is angry, and it is not good for this palace to persuade directly, otherwise it will backfire." The top priority is to calm the emotions of the ministers first, so that they no longer panic. It is inconvenient for the palace to leave the palace, so I can only ask Master Song and Liu Taishi to come forward to appease one or two. When the emperor calmed down, the palace persuaded the emperor to withdraw the punishment of General Fei and General Zhou. ”

Song Lian smiled bitterly: "It's okay for Weichen and the teacher to come forward to appease, but the Huaixi military generals have a lot of complaints about our Jiangnan civil officials, and Weichen is afraid that he will not be able to handle the queen's entrustment." ”

Ma Xiuying thought for a while, "The Korean public is the head of the Huaixi officials, and he will mediate ......"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Song Lian, "It's not a secret, the Korean princess and the teacher have different political views, and they rarely interact with each other." ”

What he said was quite polite, in fact, all the civil and military officials knew that Li Shanchang did not want to see Liu Ji and the Jiangnan civil officials, and often attacked each other in the court. This time, on the surface, Hu Weiyong was inciting the Huaixi military generals to attack the civil officials in Jiangnan, but who didn't know that Hu Weiyong was Li Shanchang's protégé, and his every move was at the behest of Li Shanchang.

"That's it," Ma Xiuying didn't know that Li Shanchang and Liu Ji were already incompatible, so she was secretly taken aback, and asked with a frown: "Then there are Huaixi officials with two generals of Dissuasion Fei and Zhou in the court today?"

Song Lian sighed and said: "Old Master Zhu and General Feng once dissuaded the two generals Tang and Zhou not to be impulsive, and also persuaded the emperor to calm his anger, but neither side listened. ”

"Zhu Sheng, Feng Guosheng?" Ma Xiuying pondered for a moment and said, "They are quite prestigious among Huaixi officials, so it is a good candidate for them to come forward to help appease the ministers." ”

Song Lian continued to smile bitterly, "Although Master Zhu and General Feng are sensible, they are not very enthusiastic with Weichen, and Weichen is afraid that the two adults will not be moved." ”

"It doesn't matter, Old Master Zhu and General Feng are both virtuous ministers who understand righteousness. When the palace repairs a book, you give it to them, and they will be willing to help you after reading it. Ma Xiuying wrote several large articles with a free pen, first praising the two of them for understanding the overall situation and being loyal to the monarch and patriotism; then wrote that the stability of the imperial court is the foundation of the country, and partisan disputes are harmful and unprofitable; and finally implored the two to maneuver around, abandon partisan disputes, and make the court work together to help each other.

"Thank you, Queen. Song Lian took the letter, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and his worried face showed a hint of joy, and he hurriedly retired.

Ma Xiuying was no longer in the mood to read, so she slowly walked out of Kunning Palace and looked up. The empty clear sky was as blue as a transparent piece of paper, and a few thin clouds were like melted cream, faintly changing shapes. The bright sunlight shrouded the palace, as if to paint the palace with a layer of golden light, and copper bells hung from each corner eaves, automatic without wind, with a kind of lonely and indescribable loneliness.

It's cold in the heights. Ma Xiuying guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was the same, the world only saw him high, but ignored the pressure on him. With the change of status, close friends have become courtiers, when all words and deeds are profited, who can he trust, who should he trust? He is also a human being, he will also have doubts and suspicions, and he is also worried about being pulled down from a high position by others, so he can only control all rights in his hands. And the best way to control power is to limit military power and weaken the power of courtiers.

For Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, Ma Xiuying was deeply worried. But she couldn't accuse Zhu Yuanzhang of doing wrong, the rabbit died and the dog cooked, and the bird was hidden, which was a common problem of the emperor, and it was also the fate that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't avoid. She thought that she couldn't change Zhu Yuanzhang's decision, so she could only persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to treat his courtiers leniently and try her best to save the fate of the heroes.

When she was melancholy, Xunying told Yang Yunhua to thank her for her comfort, and asked to see Xie En outside the palace.

Ma Xiuying knew that Yang Yunhua must have come for her husband Fei Ju, so she sighed and asked Xunying to lead Yang Yunhua into the palace with her waist card.

Women in this era seem to be unable to escape the fate of male superiority and inferiority of women, such as herself, who once vowed to train Zhu Yuanzhang and establish a different Ming Dynasty, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has long since departed from the trajectory she envisioned, but she can only surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang and drift with the tide. Another example is Yang Yunhua, no matter how much pride and ambition she had before she got married, she put her mind on the family after getting married, and she gradually withdrew from the political situation after her husband and children in the house over the years.

The years have not left many traces on Yang Yunhua's face, she still looks like a woman in her early twenties, which may have something to do with her cheerful mood, or maybe it has something to do with Fei Ju's love for her. There are also beauties rewarded by Zhu Yuanzhang in the house, but Fei Ju dismisses them, plus Yang Yunhua's soft personality on the outside and strong on the inside, so the life of the other concubines is not easy. She and Fei Ju have been married for many years, and there is only one son Fei Chao under her knees, which is simply unacceptable in this era of valuing the reproduction of children and grandchildren, but Fei Ju still cherishes her as before, perhaps this is the reason why she is willing to give up her own achievements and glory for Fei Ju "Since then, the long skirt should be a smile, and you will wash your hands and make soup".

"The courtiers meet the queen, the queen is Wan'an!" Years of women's life have made this girl who used to jump out of the past become calm, even though her eyebrows are shrouded in deep sorrow, she still meticulously salutes and thanks Ma Xiuying.

"You don't have to be so restrained between me. I know your intentions, and I will try my best to persuade the emperor. Ma Xiuying stepped forward to help Yang Yunhua, the once intimate relationship gradually faded with the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and Yang Yunhua, who had always been unrestrained in front of her, could only grovel like other subordinates. In fact, it is not only Zhu Yuanzhang who is in the high place, but also her!

Feeling Ma Xiuying's true feelings, Yang Yunhua's tears rolled out abruptly, her mother's family was not around, only Ma Xiuying gave her kind care from time to time like an elder who was also a teacher and friend. Fei Ju had an accident this time, and the first person she thought of asking for help was Ma Xiuying, Fei Ju persuaded her that Ma Xiuying now was different from the past and would not necessarily help, but she didn't believe it, and still stubbornly wanted to give it a try, so there was a scene of entering the palace to thank her.

Sure enough, Ma Xiuying did not disappoint her, she was still the woman who cared for her, even if it was such a simple sentence, it was enough to move her heart and couldn't help but cry.

"Don't be sad, everything will be fine. Ma Xiuying softly comforted Yang Yunhua, who was crying like a child.

Yang Yunhua's restraint gradually disappeared, and she cried aggrievedly: "The ancestor told me not to be born back then, I didn't listen to her, but now I know that the officialdom is sinister, and I knew that it was better to return to the hermit with Fei at the beginning, than to be frightened now." ”

Ma Xiuying helped her wipe away her tears, "What are you talking about, a good man is willing to live for a lifetime since he was a soldier? But you also have to persuade General Fei that now that the monarch and the minister are different, you can't be as speechless as before. ”

Yang Yunhua was not convinced, "It's the emperor who has changed." ”

"Who hasn't changed? Don't say anything, just say that you swore to be a female general and revitalize the lintel of the Yang family, but now you are wholeheartedly on Fei Ju. If you think back to the past, you will find that you have unconsciously changed many of your original intentions. Ma Xiuying's eyes fell on the hot mist of teacups, as if she was persuading Yang Yunhua, and as if she was saying to herself, "There are no immutable people and things in this world, society is progressing, things are developing, and people are also changing." If we have the ability, we will change others, and if we don't have the ability, we can only cooperate with the changes of others, which is the law of the development of things, if we are still stuck in the present and do not think about flexibility, we can only be eliminated......"
