It is Zhu Yuanzhang, a man with bloody hands and decisive killing, but also has a gentle place, that is, the love of his life - Ma Shi, Empress Ma. Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Ma Shi, was indeed not beautiful, and her appearance was simple and unpretentious, like a wildflower on the side of the road, and it was not noticeable. However, such a not-so-beautiful wife was deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang had five sons and two daughters with Empress Ma during his lifetime, and most of the time he obeyed Empress Ma. Moreover, after the death of Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the "six palaces pink dai colorless" and never made an empress again, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang really loved Empress Ma very much.
His life was miserable
Ma's father, Ma Gong, fled to another country because of his murder to avoid revenge, and entrusted his beloved daughter to Guo Zixing, a friend of life and death, when he was leaving. Zheng Mi died early, and after Ma Gong also died, Guo Zixing became more and more pitiful of this woman and adopted her as an adopted daughter. Guo Zixing taught her cultural knowledge, and his wife Zhang Shi taught her knitting and embroidery by hand. Teenage Ma is incredibly intelligent and knows everything as soon as he is instructed. Ma Shi, who is nearly twenty years old, looks dignified, looks more beautiful, and has a gentle attitude, no matter how urgent, she always behaves calmly, and does not speak harshly, so Guo Zixing and his wife are very fond of Ma Shi, and have always wanted to find a good husband for her, so that she will have a lifelong trust and live up to Ma Gong's last words.
Xu was mated to Zhu Yuanzhang
Haozhou Zhong left Zhu Yuanzhang to defect to Guo Zixing's rebel army, Zhu Yuanzhang was shrewd and capable after joining the army, handled things properly, took the lead in fighting, and all the booty obtained was handed over to Marshal Guo Zixing, and he received a reward, and said that the merit was everyone's, so he distributed the reward to everyone. Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang's good reputation in the army spread. Guo Zixing also regarded him as a confidant, and always discussed important matters with Zhu Yuanzhang. Guo Zixing saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was a talent and would be of great help to his career. Therefore, he betrothed his adopted daughter Ma Shixu to Zhu Yuanzhang. After Ma Shi became intimate with Zhu Yuanzhang, he had a deep affection for Zhu Yuanzhang, followed Zhu Yuanzhang in his southern expedition to the north, and carefully assisted Zhu Yuanzhang.
Start another stove
Zhu Yuanzhang was shrewd and capable, intelligent and courageous, and Guo Zixing liked him very much, thinking that he would be able to use himself in the future, so he had the heart to win him over, so he married Ma Shi to him. Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has become Guo Zixing's confidant, not only loyal but also particularly good. Ma Shi greatly appreciated Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior, regarded these righteous sons as his own, and took care of them impartially, and these righteous sons who were touched were all born and died for Zhu Yuanzhang. Guo Zixing was not happy to see it, and after listening to a few rumors, he could not tolerate Zhu Yuanzhang more and more, and felt that this boy wanted to ride on his head, so it was difficult everywhere. Ma Shi saw that her husband was constrained everywhere, so he took out his own money and gave it to his mother and aunt, asking them to speak for Zhu Yuanzhang in front of Guo Zixing. In the end, she saw that there was really no way, so she went south with Zhu Yuanzhang and started another stove.
Suffering and suffering together
Speaking of suffering and sharing, I am afraid that no one can compare with Empress Ma, Empress Ma is very good at living, Zhu Yuanzhang marched to fight and lacked food, Empress Ma used dry food to marinate meat, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could have a bite to eat at any time, but he "did not sleep and eat". Empress Ma also sold all her jewelry and clothes, and gave all the money to the soldiers on the front line, which greatly encouraged the morale of the soldiers.
I think that Empress Ma's success is not accidental, and it is a little enlightening to the wives who are now accompanying their husbands to the throne, and Zhu Yuanzhang's love and righteousness for his wife is the foundation. Empress Ma never interfered in the politics of the dynasty, occasionally asked questions, and also adhered to the position of conscience, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could feel that there was no selfishness.
