Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou are very affectionate, and Zhu Yuanzhang respects Ma Huanghou very much. Even after Ma Huanghou's death, he never made a queen again. During Zhu Yuanzhang's farmland years, Ma Huanghou always followed Zhu Yuanzhang's expedition to the north, carefully assisted Zhu Yuanzhang and stabilized the rear. Ma Huanghou contributed to Zhu Yuanzhang's success. Some people even said that without this Ma Huanghou, Zhu Yuanzhang could only be poor Zhu Chongba.
Everyone in history praised it as a model couple.
Ma Huanghou, formerly known as Ma Xiuying, was born in Suzhou. Her father was a local rich man, and her mother died shortly after her birth. His father, Ma Gong, regarded Ma Xiuying as the apple of his eye since he was a child. Because he doesn't like foot binding, he is nicknamed Ma Dajiao. Later, because his father was involved in a lawsuit of killing people, in desperation, he entrusted his daughter to Guo Zixing, a friend of life and death. Guo Zixing took her as his adopted daughter and treated her as his own. Her adoptive father taught her to read and her adoptive mother taught her to embroider.
In the turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, heroes from all walks of life took advantage of the turmoil to rebel. Guo Zixing also took advantage of the chaos in Gan Jie. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also joined the insurgents because he was desperate. At first, Guo Zixing admired the resourceful Zhu Yuanzhang very much. Thanks to Guo Zixing's appreciation, by coincidence, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou came together, and Zhu Yuanzhang became the adopted son-in-law of Guo Zixing.
Later, due to Zhu Yuanzhang's rapid promotion in a short time, Guo Zixing's son held a grudge against it. Guo Zixing was exposed by his son, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was rebellious. In a rage, Guo Zixing locked Zhu Yuanzhang up, refused to give food, and planned to starve Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Ma Xiuying saw this temperament, he secretly gave him food. According to legend, the freshly baked cake is too hot. Ma Huanghou put hot cakes in his clothes and burned his body. It was because of saving Ma Girl that Zhu Yuanzhang survived those days. Finally, for the sake of his adopted daughter Ma Xiuying, Guo Zixing released him. This is the story of Ma Huanghou's "saving her husband with bread".
Ma Huanghou and Zhu Yuanzhang's experiences of sharing life and death have accumulated deep feelings between them. Later, with his prestige and ability, Zhu Yuanzhang took over the rest of the Guo family and became commander in chief. When fighting Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew was one of Zhu's few blood relatives. It is very difficult for Zhu Wenzheng to defend Nanchang. Later, because there were too few awards after the war, Zhu Wenzheng was unhappy and began to fall.
He was so angry that he was punished. It's not easy for Ma Huanghou to speak out about Zheng Wen. He has made outstanding achievements. Besides, he is playing a temper, not rebelling. This persuasion, Zhu will not pursue it. Ma Huanghou has been following Zhu Yuanzhang's expedition to the north, carefully assisting Zhu Yuanzhang. She sewed clothes and shoes for soldiers, comforted her family and encouraged them. In addition, in order to help Zhu Yuanzhang stabilize the morale of the army, she also took out her own gold silk and distributed it to the soldiers.
After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, Ma Huanghou showed a virtuous side, and repeatedly protected the courtiers in the DPRK, which was praised by the DPRK. Zhu Yuanzhang initiated the rule of Hongwu, which was inseparable from Ma Huanghou's virtue.
Zhu Yuanzhang's wife: Ma Huanghou
After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he made her queen. He was very respectful and grateful to her, and he could also listen to and adopt her suggestions. At this point, Ma Huanghou officially became the mother of a country. Ma Huanghou is a talented woman. She is not only Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, but sometimes she doesn't fight. Ma Huanghou led the families of the troops to stay up all night, knitting uniforms for the frontline troops. So, although she is a woman, she is very brave.
In the 15th year of Zheng Zheng (AD 1355), after conquering Taiping, Zhu Yuanzhang led the main force to cross the river. When Zhu Yuanzhang's army left, there were only a bunch of old, weak women and children left. Ma Huanghou thought that the Yuan Army might take the opportunity to attack the logistics, so she made a decisive decision and led the logistics to cross the river urgently.
As expected, she had just left when the Yuan army attacked. The Yuan army left, and Chen Youliang came again, attacking on a large scale, which matched Qing Ji (now Nanjing). When Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to fight fiercely with Chen Youliang in Longwan, if the rear was chaotic, the front would be chaotic, but Ma Huanghou was fearless in a crisis and stabilized the rear.
Zhu Yuanzhang tried several times to reward Ma Huanghou's relatives, but Ma Huanghou stopped him: "If the emperor is partial to his consorts, it may cause dissatisfaction among his subjects." Besides, Ma Huanghou repeatedly warned her family not to be arrogant. Zhu Yuanzhang is prone to rage and always wants to kill ministers and generals. Ma Huanghou always actively remonstrated, gently persuaded, and even advised Zhu Yuanzhang not to forget the sufferings of the people, so that Zhu Yuanzhang was restrained.
According to legend, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a businessman named Shen Wansan who once sponsored Zhu Yuanzhang's Red Scarf Army. He is known as "a great man, whose land is all over Wuxia" and is the first wealthy businessman in Jiangnan.
"Ming History" recorded such a dialogue:
Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "I have a million troops. You can help them travel all over the world."
Shen Wansan said, "No problem, one or two pieces of silver for each army." .
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The whole world is not a king's land, yours is mine."
So Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him and riot, and Ma Huanghou came out in time to persuade him. Finally, the property was confiscated and Shen Wansan was exiled. It can be seen that Ma Huanghou not only cares about state affairs, but also has a certain influence on Zhu Yuanzhang.
The most influential person of Zhu Yuanzhang: Ma Huanghou.
You know, it's easy to start a business, but it's too difficult to keep it. There are still many tests for Zhu Yuanzhang. The first problem he needs to overcome is his bad temper, and he always wants to kill people. And the person who can control Zhu Yuanzhang best is really only Ma Huanghou. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's purge of officialdom in his later years, many heroes and henchmen were killed, and tens of thousands of people were killed at every turn. If Ma Huanghou hadn't stopped him, Zhu Yuanzhang might have killed more people.
"Ming History" said: Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he finished his political affairs. When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the harem, Ma Huanghou often gently dissuaded him. Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang had a strong personality, many people were saved by Ma Huanghou's dissuasion. Fortunately, Ma Huanghou's kindness did not lower her position in her husband's heart, which Zhu Yuanzhang could not understand.
In short, when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill people, Ma Huanghou Bigfoot had to find a way to save them. Looking through history books, you will find that Ma Huanghou's kindness is sincere without any impurities. Besides, we can see that Ma Huanghou is a person who demands a lot of himself. In other words, Ma Huanghou likes reading history books very much, so in her spare time, she lets the concubines in the palace learn some ancient sages' conduct.
Zhu Yuanzhang was hurt by the word "fierce" when he ruled the country. It was so mean. In contrast, Ma Huanghou is kind and lovely. Thus, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou are complementary husband and wife.
When he died, he was still thinking about his theme: Ma Huanghou
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Ma Huanghou walked side by side with Zhu Yuanzhang from suffering, but he was ill in bed, and his life was drawing to a close. Since then, Ma Huanghou's illness has worsened, and ministers have written to ask for a visit to famous doctors. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about Ma Huanghou's illness. The list has been issued for many days, and many so-called famous doctors have come, but it has no effect.
Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage and said, if you can't save the queen's life, you will all be buried with her, and no one will want to live! "The eunuchs saw the emperor in a bad mood and dared not speak. They only looked down at' illness'. Ma Huanghou advised Zhu Yuanzhang: "Life and death are both life, so what are the benefits of prayer and worship?"? "? Waste human and financial resources in vain. There are good doctors in the world, and it is impossible to come back to life. If the medicine doesn't work, everyone hates the doctor who started treating the disease. Wouldn't it aggravate my sin? "
Ma Huanghou refused to take medicine. Soon, Ma Huanghou died at the age of 5 1 year. Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken and burst into tears, and never set up a queen again. Ma Huanghou came out of Zhu Yuanzhang's troubles, and only her words made Zhu Yuanzhang willing to listen. Her death made Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous character uncontrollable, so one massacre after another happened.
Write to the end
Ma Huanghou and Zhu Yuanzhang have deep feelings. Even long after Ma Huanghou's death, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ma Huanghou's portrait, and he was focused and wept bitterly. It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings for Ma Huanghou are absolutely sincere. Throughout Ma Huanghou's life, her virtue and personality are admirable. So she has a big pattern, stands tall and sees far. Moreover, when she was dying, she still remembered to let Lao Zhu "seek talent" and let the people rely on it.
