Today we are talking about the empress of Liu Zhuang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, she is the youngest daughter of Ma Yuan, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, what her specific name is, the historical data is unknown, let's call her Ma Shi. Ma was born into a famous family, and was later made empress, and the scenery in front of people is infinite, but who knows how much suffering she suffered when she was young to have today's achievements.
Ma Yuan's father Ma Yuan followed emperor Guangwu in the early years to conquer the north, it can be said that he made a meritorious contribution, called the founding hero, as the saying goes, a good tree is a big move, Ma Yuan's scenery will inevitably cause some people to be jealous, but Ma Yuan, this person is not good at communication, offended many people, including Liang Song, the son-in-law of The Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu.
On the way out of a expedition, Ma Yuan unfortunately fell ill and died, which gave Liang Song the opportunity to falsify evidence that Ma Yuan accepted bribes and snatched the people's cream, and the most hated thing in emperor Guangwu's life was the corrupt officials, and seeing this, he could not help but be furious, not only immediately confiscated Ma Yuan's official seal, but also ordered that Ma Yuan should not be buried, or Lady Ma knelt in front of the palace gate and begged bitterly, so that Ma Yuan could be buried in the ancestral grave.
Soon after, Ma Yuan's younger son also died, leaving Madame Ma's orphan daughter and widow mother to support the façade at home, the tree fell and scattered, and the ministers who had come and gone before were eager to come up and step on it, saying that others would just stop, and those who had a marriage contract with the daughters of the Ma family had the idea of repenting. Ma Yan, Ma's cousin, was indignant when he saw this, consulted with Ma's mother, and canceled all the marriage contracts of the Ma family's daughters.
In the year of Ma Yuan's death, Ma Yuan was only ten years old, but the family rotted into a pot of porridge, the mother experienced the pain of widowhood and illness, the two sisters were also timid and cowardly, Ma Yuan had no choice but to take up the burden of the family, take charge of the family feeding, tame the slaves, and keep the family in order.
The snubbed Ma clan knew that if they wanted to revitalize the Ma family, there was only one way to enter the palace and choose concubines, and when she was thirteen years old, she entered the palace and entered the East Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Prince Liu Zhuang is the son of Empress Yin Lihua, Empress Yin Lihua is gentle and generous, empathetic, under her education, Liu Zhuang is also very gentle, kind, especially like to read, this hobby coincides with Ma's, Ma's well-educated, treat people and things are very generous and decent, take care of the harem is also orderly, which makes Liu Zhuang very fond of her, a few years have passed, Ma's belly has not moved at all, Ma understands that as a prince of a country, it is absolutely impossible to inherit without heirs, Therefore, she selected many virtuous women for the crown prince Liu Zhuang, in the hope that they could open up branches and leaves for the royal family. Ma's kindness and gentleness won the hearts of Liu Zhuang and the empress.
In 57 AD, the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu died, the crown prince Liu Zhuang took the throne, for the Ming Emperor, Yin Lihua was honored as the empress dowager, Ma Shi was also crowned as a nobleman, although Ma Shi did not have children for many years, Liu Zhuang has been planning for this beautiful and gentle woman, another concubine of Emperor Ming gave birth to a son, named Liu Zhao, and later passed on to Ma Shi, in his opinion, Ma Shi, who has such excellent character, will certainly be able to cultivate very good children.
Ma Shi also did not live up to Emperor Ming's high hopes, she not only treated this child as if she were her own child, but also often taught him the principles of how to behave in the world, so that Liu Qi was better to this adoptive mother than to her own mother. The throne of the queen had been vacant for a long time, and after much deliberation, Emperor Ming finally decided to make Li Lishi empress and Liu Qi crown prince.
Ma Shi, who was crowned empress, was more cautious and cautious, not only keeping the harem in order, but also going to the palace of empress dowager Yin three times a day to ask for peace, and his dress on weekdays did not like luxury, but also advocated the style of frugality, and in terms of political affairs, he often urged the emperor to be diligent in government affairs and practice the style of benevolent government.
In 75 AD, Emperor Ming died, the crown prince Liu Ju took the throne, it was for Emperor Zhang, Ma Shi was honored as the empress dowager, it is reasonable to say that the new emperor ascended the throne, all must be divided into the empress's mother's family, not to mention that Ma clan raised Liu Ju for many years, the grace is like the sea, Liu Ju just hopes that Ma Clan can be happy, so he wants to seal several uncles, who knows that Ma Shi rejected it, saying that his several uncles are neither founding heroes, nor are they good generals who defend the country, and they are not qualified to be marquises at all, so they refused.
Once, Ma Shi went out to pass by the door of his mother's house, but found that the door was not only full of traffic, but even the servants were dressed in a very luxurious way, thinking that it should be caused by the flattery of the minister of the DPRK, and his heart could not help but be more worried.
Ma Shi experienced human affection when she was young, so she understood more that power and wealth can easily erode a person's heart, and it will also make a family fall quickly, after returning to the harem, she thought for a long time, or broke the help to the Ma family, and vigorously advocated the wind of frugality, with Ma Shi, the empress dowager, led by example, the Ma family also immediately understood Ma's meaning, pushing themselves and others, and the frugal wind prevailed in the world for a while.
After a few years, the chancellor wanted to lean on the big tree of the Ma family, so he went up to divide and seal several brothers of the Ma family, and Emperor Zhang had long wanted to do so, who knew that after Empress Ma heard the news, she was sick with qi, and Emperor Zhang would not die.
In 79 AD, Emperor Zhang began to mention the old things again, and Empress Ma also understood the truth that things were not three, so she recruited her brothers into the palace, fully expressed their views, and hoped that they could also understand their own good intentions, the Ma family brothers obeyed the empress's intentions, and accepted Emperor Zhang's canonization the next day, but a year later, several brothers of the Ma family resigned their posts and returned to their hometown to raise their families.
In 79 AD, Empress Ma died.
Liu Zhuo was grief-stricken, and his nickname was 'De', and he was known as 'Empress Mingde'.
In my opinion, this Empress Mingde is very far-sighted, understand that the monopoly of foreign relatives will not have a good end, so she will try her best to prevent her brother from being a marquis, coupled with the disaster when she was a child, let her deeply understand the truth of people walking tea and cold, although she is the empress, but the emperor is not her own birth, once she dies, there is no one to protect the Ma family, it is difficult to ensure that the emperor will not be seduced, so that the Ma family once again faces the disaster of destruction, so several of her brothers have been marquises for less than a year and will be disarmed and returned to the field. Although there is no right, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the Ma family's heritage can be described as very rich, and they can still live a happy and prosperous life for several lifetimes.
