In August of the fifteenth year of Hongwu (1382), a man passed away. This man's death did not seem to be a big event in history, but for Zhu Yuanzhang, it was a real tragedy.

This person is Queen Ma

She risked her life to deliver food to Zhu Yuanzhang when he was in danger and when he was trapped and about to starve to death. Although she was a woman, she was quite courageous. When Chen Youliang attacked Longwan, she donated all her jewelry and property to the army and organized women to sew clothes for the army.

Even after becoming rich, she maintained a simple style, neither arrogant nor extravagant, and advised Zhu Yuanzhang not to forget the suffering of the people. She even put forward her own opinions on employing people: " I wish for virtuous people to govern the world." This was cited by Zhu Yuanzhang as a wise saying.

What is even more commendable is that he prevented many of Zhu Yuanzhang’s evil deeds

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Zhu Wenzheng. She advised Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Wenzheng is your nephew, and he has made great contributions, so please Don't kill him.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Li Wenzhong. She advised Zhu Yuanzhang that Li Wenzhong is your nephew and your adopted son, so let him live.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Song Lian, so she knelt down and begged Zhu Yuanzhang. Song Lian was the prince's teacher, and the common people respected their teachers, let alone the emperor's family.

This is how she used her kindness to care for everyone she knew or didn't know, and rescued them from Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife.

She knows the value of human life better than Zhu Yuanzhang.

After she became seriously ill, she knew that it would be difficult to cure her, so she refused to be treated by doctors. Zhu Yuanzhang asked her why, and her answer was really touching.

She said: A person's life and death are determined by fate. It is useless to pray to gods and Buddhas. Doctors can only cure diseases, but not life. If I ask a doctor to treat me and the medicine is ineffective, Your Majesty will definitely do it. Putting the blame on doctors is something I don't want to see.

This is a person who always cares for others with her love, even when her life is about to end, she still does that.

She left her last words to Zhu Yuanzhang on her sick bed:

"May your Majesty seek talents and accept advice from beginning to end. May all your descendants be virtuous, residents live and work in peace and contentment, and the country be immortal for thousands of years." ”

After saying that, she passed away with a smile on her face.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned against her. This was the woman she loved most in her life. This woman gave him countless help but never asked for anything from him. This was how she spent her life. .

After so many hardships, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart has long been harder than iron stone. Since the death of his parents, no matter how desperate and painful he is, he rarely sheds tears. Because he knows that crying can't solve any problems.

But at this time, he finally couldn't control his emotions, and he cried loudly. Only crying can mourn the person in front of him, and only crying can vent the extreme pain in his heart!

Because he finally discovered that the person in front of him was everything to him, the only one.

Miss Ma, this ordinary woman, in the difficult years, did not despise Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in a humble background, but followed him and dedicated everything to him, no matter how dangerous the environment or the situation. Complex, she always kept her promise back then.

Never give up on each other, whether high or low, life or death

After her husband became the emperor, she still treated others with love. Whenever Zhu Yuanzhang raised the butcher knife, she always stepped forward to stop him. . She cared for and saved many people with her unique female motherhood and kindness. Although she ultimately failed to pull Zhu Yuanzhang's out-of-control car back on track, she did everything she could.

Today, we can say that she was a great woman.

Live like summer flowers, die like winter snow

Life is like this, no regrets or complaints

The death of Queen Ma gave Zhu Yuanzhang a huge blow. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang Going further and further down the wrong and extreme path until the end of his life
