Queen Ma is a famous empress in history. She and Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty from scratch. After the death of Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang was in extreme pain and burst into tears. From then on, he never established a queen again, even though he had three thousand beauties in the harem. But the only real wife in my heart is Queen Ma.
The death of Queen Ma dealt a huge blow to Zhu Yuanzhang. He lost the person he trusted and loved most. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more violent, killed, and never returned to the extreme path.
Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious and ruthless by nature, and almost killed all the founding heroes. However, such a king only loved Queen Ma. So what is the charm of Queen Ma?
Don’t be humble when you are below, and don’t be arrogant when you are above. Don't hate the poor and love the rich, don't be greedy for vanity. With structure and mind, she was Zhu Yuanzhang's virtuous wife.
After Zhu Yuanzhang ended his career as a monk, he joined Guo Zixing's army and began the cause of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty. In the army, due to his outstanding ability, he was quickly appreciated by Guo Zixing, so Guo Zixing gave his adopted daughter Ma The girl (the name of Guo Zixing's adopted daughter is not recorded in history books, and the army called her Miss Ma) married Zhu Yuanzhang. Miss Ma did not dislike Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in a humble background, penniless, and whose parents were both dead. From this we can see that Miss Ma is not a person who dislikes poverty and loves wealth.
Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous of others because of his outstanding abilities and was slandered many times. Once he was imprisoned by Guo Zixing. When Zhu Yuanzhang was trapped and about to starve to death, it was Empress Ma who secretly carried the freshly baked sesame cakes in her arms. When she went to help Zhu Yuanzhang, her chest was burned and blistered. Later, Queen Ma went around and asked Guo Zixing's wife to intercede, and then she rescued Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang later left Guo Zixing's team and started his own business. Empress Ma assisted him all the way and became Zhu Yuanzhang's virtuous wife. When Zhu Yuanzhang's most terrifying enemy Chen Youliang attacked Longwan, Empress Ma donated all her jewelry, property and labor and organized Women sewed clothes for the army and helped Zhu Yuanzhang stabilize his rear. It can be seen here that Queen Ma is a person with structure and ambition. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang with less and more, and Empress Ma also played an important role.
Zhu Yuanzhang defeated all his competitors, conquered the world, and established the Ming Dynasty. Empress Ma was the emperor and still maintained a simple style, neither indulgent nor arrogant nor extravagant (this is very similar to the current wealthy daughter-in-law Guo Jingjing), she Many of the clothes she wore were sewn by herself, and her diet was meager. She also arranged her husband's life based on the principle of simplicity, and often advised Zhu Yuanzhang not to forget the sufferings of the people. Zhu Yuanzhang also borrowed the words of Queen Ma to warn his ministers: "When dressing, remember the hard work of the Weaver Girl, and when eating, remember the hard work of the plowman. Do not waste people or money in any work."
After he ascended the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to add a title to Queen Ma's family, but was rejected by Queen Ma. Stopping it, Empress Ma said: "These positions should be reserved for capable and virtuous people. My family members have not made such a great contribution to the country." What she said, "I hope that wise men can manage the world together," is also It was cited as a wise saying by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In that feudal society where women with bound feet were regarded as beautiful, Empress Ma had a pair of normal big feet. She was often laughed at and even used as a talking point by Zhu Yuanzhang's political opponents. However, Empress Ma did not feel inferior because of this. You know that Queen Ma is a very courageous person.
Be compassionate, kind and kind, and treat others with love
Zhu Yuanzhang was famous for his murders. During the Hongwu period, being an official was a high-risk profession. Among the four strange cases of Hongwu , according to statistics, those killed by Zhu Yuanzhang There are hundreds of thousands of officials.
Empress Ma rescued many people from Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife.
After the victory of the Battle of Hongdu, Zhu Wenzheng was dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's reward, so he had an affair with Zhang Shicheng. Zhu Yuanzhang caught him and wanted to kill him. Empress Ma intervened to stop him, saying Li Wenzhong is you My nephew has made great achievements, please don't kill him. Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill him and put him in prison.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang killed many heroes who had conquered the world together. When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Li Wenzhong, Empress Ma advised him, "Li Wenzhong is your nephew and your adopted son, please spare his life."
Song Lian's grandson participated in Hu Weiyong's rebellion. Zhu Yuanzhang traveled thousands of miles to summon Song Lian, who had retired, to kill him. At the critical moment, Empress Ma stood up and interceded for Song Lian, saying: "Song Lian is the prince's teacher, and the common people respect their teachers, let alone the emperor's family." Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang let Song Lian live.
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, Queen Ma became seriously ill. She knew that it was difficult to cure her, so she gave up treatment and refused doctors to treat her. Zhu Yuanzhang asked her why, and she said: "Life and death are fate, so what's the use of praying? How can a doctor live a person and make the medicine ineffective, so he doesn't blame the doctors for being a concubine?" It means "life and death are determined by fate, praying" It's useless. Doctors can only treat illnesses, but not lives. If I let the doctor treat me and the medicine is ineffective, Your Majesty will definitely punish the doctor. This is what I don't want to see."
Queen Ma knows the value of human life. She didn't want to see Zhu Yuanzhang keep killing people, so she rescued many people from Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher knife. In this way, she cared for and saved many people with her unique female motherhood and love.
Before she died, she left her last words to Zhu Yuanzhang on her sick bed: May your Majesty seek virtuous people and accept advice, be cautious until the end, so that your descendants will all be virtuous, and your subjects will be well off.
I have to say that Queen Ma is a great woman.
written at the end
There is a saying, which is called "It starts with appearance, respects talent, suits the character, continues with kindness, and ends with character." Empress Ma relied on her own character and virtue to make Zhu Yuanzhang right throughout his life. She loves Jingyoujia.
When they first met, Miss Ma did not mind poverty, loved wealth, and was not greedy for vanity. How could she tell Zhu Yuanzhang not to care about importance?
When starting a business, Queen Ma spent all her money to assist and stabilize the rear. She saved Zhu Yuanzhang in danger many times and gave Zhu Yuanzhang help. Countless help, how can I tell Zhu Yuanzhang not to love Chong;

Empress Ma devoted her whole life to Zhu Yuanzhang, devoting everything to herself, but never asked for anything from him. Zhu Yuanzhang's parents died when he was young, and Queen Ma was the best person in the world to him. How could Zhu Yuanzhang not love her?
Empress Ma has multiple meanings to Zhu Yuanzhang. She is his wife, a virtuous wife, a benefactor, a close relative, a confidant in times of trouble, a like-minded ally who fights side by side, and a spiritual home.
No matter how dangerous it is on the battlefield; how lonely it is in the court. As long as Queen Ma is here, his feelings will belong to him and his soul will have sustenance. Once this woman who accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang through countless difficult years died, Zhu Yuanzhang lost his emotional sustenance. He fell into extreme pain and became more extreme and murderous.
