It can be divided into two periods: one is before Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty; Second, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
First, before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, they shared weal and woe and shared destiny. First of all, they all had a miserable childhood, and it is easy to share joys and sorrows and cherish each other.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty. He became a monk in Shaolin Temple when he was very young. A few years later, a great famine broke out. He left Shaolin Temple, begged everywhere and lived a wandering life. Later, he joined the rebels and invested in Guo Zixing's account. With Guo Zixing's crusade to the west, he was brave and won the reuse of Guo Zixing, and Zhu Yuanzhang gradually gained some fame of his own.
Ma Huanghou's childhood was also very miserable, and his family wealth declined. He lost his mother in his early years, and before his father left, he entrusted Ma Girl to do or die, and Ma Girl was his adopted daughter. Because Miss Ma is intelligent by nature, good at poetry and painting, especially good at history books, and calm when things go wrong, she is very popular with couples. Guo Zixing saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was very capable and decided to marry his adopted daughter (Ma Huanghou).
Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife were very similar in childhood. After Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou got married, the relationship has been very good.
Secondly, during the war, Ma Huanghou tried his best to protect the safety and life of Zhu Yuanzhang.
There are many touching stories, so I want to share them with you.
(1) Guo Zixing is suspicious and suspicious of Zhu Yuanzhang. He once told Zhu Yuanzhang to shut up. Miss Ma was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would starve to death, and she secretly sent meals to Zhu Yuanzhang every time. Afraid of being discovered, Teacher Ma stuffed the sesame seed cake into her arms. In order to make Zhu Yuanzhang eat hot food, she was burned to her chest every time, but she didn't mind.
In addition, Ma girl also used her wisdom to lobby her adoptive father, and invited Zhang, the concubine, to intercede for Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally made Zhu Yuanzhang escape successfully.
(2) In the days when she fought side by side with Zhu Yuanzhang, she not only arranged military documents for Zhu Yuanzhang, but also actively persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang and gained Zhu Yuanzhang's trust.
When Chen Youliang, who was hostile to Zhu Yuanzhang, invaded Longwan, many officials and people prepared to flee. At the critical moment of people's panic, Miss Ma rewarded the army with her hairpin, stabilized the morale of the army and mobilized women to mend clothes for soldiers, which played an important role in Zhu Yuanzhang's victory.
In the cruel war, Zhu Yuanzhang got enough warmth and support from his wife Ma Huanghou. Ma Huanghou became an irreplaceable person in Zhu Yuanzhang's life.
Second, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang still respected and cared for his wife. (1) Life is the same as before.
Ma Huanghou ascended the throne of "the Lord of the harem", but he was not so extravagant and wasteful. On the contrary, he advocated a simple life. The clothes you usually wear should be washed and mended. Not only that, she also constantly advised Zhu Yuanzhang to be diligent and love the people. Her sentence "May sages rule the world" was quoted by Zhu Yuanzhang as a wise saying.
(2) Ma Huanghou was virtuous and kind, and properly handled the harem, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could govern the country with peace of mind.
(3) In national affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang was often advised not to kill excessively, but to be kind.
1382, Ma Huanghou was seriously ill and died after treatment. Before she died, she left Zhu Yuanzhang's last words: "May your majesty seek wisdom from those who can be trained and complete the career he started. May all future generations be brilliant, the residents live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will remain unchanged for thousands of years." . Life is like this, what can a husband expect?
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou are two people who started from scratch together. * * * has experienced a low point in life, and has experienced storms, so along the way, we have deep feelings. There is no queen after this man, and no one can take the place of Ma Huanghou in his heart. Zhu Yuanzhang has no queen.
