For Zhu Yuanzhang, which is more important, Queen Ma or the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had a magnificent and legendary life. From a poor cattle herder, he went through hardships and finally ascended to the throne of the emperor and established the famous Ming Dynasty. However, behind this brilliance, there are two names that have always been closely associated with him - Queen Ma and the Ming Dynasty. So, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, which one is more important?
Zhu Yuanzhang's fate with Queen Ma began when he was lowly. The two met in hardship and experienced the hardships of life together. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a little-known cattle herding baby, and Queen Ma was a light in his life. She is not only beautiful and virtuous, but also smart and capable, and uses her wisdom and strength to provide spiritual support and practical help to Zhu Yuanzhang. She spent countless long nights with him, planning for the future together, and weathering the wind and rain together.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's power gradually grew, he began to set about establishing his own dynasty. In this process, Queen Ma is still his most solid backing. She not only gave birth to children for Zhu Yuanzhang and inherited incense, but also played an important role in the harem. She won the hearts of the people with her virtuous virtue and won more support for Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty was not without smooth sailing. Rebellions in all directions were frequent, and internal and external troubles followed. Zhu Yuanzhang had to devote more energy to government affairs, and the time spent with Queen Ma became less and less. Despite this, Queen Ma still silently supported Zhu Yuanzhang, shared the pressure for him, and prayed for his safety.
One day, when Zhu Yuanzhang was dealing with an urgent government matter, he suddenly received the news that Queen Ma was seriously ill. His heart was like a knife, and he immediately put down the work in his hand and hurried to the harem. However, when he rushed to Queen Ma's bedchamber, he saw only her pale and frail face.
Zhu Yuanzhang held Queen Ma's hand tightly, tears rolling in his eyes. He choked up and said, "Queen, why are you so sick?" I still have so much to say to you, and so many things I want to do with you. ”
Queen Ma barely squeezed out a smile and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you are busy, but the concubine still hopes that you can accompany the concubine more." The concubines don't ask for anything else, just to be with you more, to watch our children grow up, and to see the Ming Dynasty prosper. ”
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart was sour. He knew that he owed too much to Queen Ma, and he sacrificed too much time with Queen Ma for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. He hugged Queen Ma tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.
However, fate was so merciless. Soon after, Queen Ma passed away. Zhu Yuanzhang was devastated that he had lost his closest partner and his most solid backing. He often sat alone in the palace, recalling the bits and pieces he spent with Queen Ma, and his heart was full of endless thoughts and feelings.
After the death of Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang worked harder to govern the country. He implemented a series of reform measures to strengthen the centralization of power and develop the economy and culture. However, even so, he still can't forget Queen Ma in his heart. He often meets Queen Ma in his dreams, and tells her about the joys, sorrows, and sorrows in his heart.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, both Empress Ma and the Ming Dynasty were indispensable parts of his life. Empress Ma represents his personal emotions and the warmth of his family, she accompanied him through the most difficult times, and the Ming Dynasty was the pinnacle of his career and the glory of the country, and it was the ideal and belief that he pursued all his life. However, in the process of pursuing his career, he sacrificed the time he spent with Queen Ma, which became an eternal regret in his heart.
Nowadays, when we look back on Zhu Yuanzhang's life, we can't help but think about this question: For a person, which is more important, family or career? Perhaps everyone will have a different answer. But no matter what, we should cherish the people and things around us and strive to pursue our dreams and goals. At the same time, we must also understand that in the process of pursuing a career, we should not ignore the importance of family. Because family is our warmest harbor and our eternal dependence.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, the importance of Empress Ma and the Ming Dynasty may not be measured in words. They all have an irreplaceable place in his heart. Empress Ma gave him endless love and support, made him feel the warmth of family, and the Ming Dynasty was the stage for him to realize his ideals, allowing him to show extraordinary talent and leadership.
Therefore, we can say that in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Queen Ma and the Ming Dynasty have the same important status. Together, they constitute the legendary experience of his life, and also leave us with a profound inspiration: while pursuing a career, we should not ignore the importance of family, and cherish the people and things around us, so that our life can be more fulfilling and meaningful.
