Ma Xiuying is a wise queen.
The First Saint of Ma Huanghou: Sewing clothes and shoes for frontline soldiers.
Ma Xiuying was kind and knowledgeable since he was a child, and he also had a strong interest in literature and history books. After marrying Zhu Yuanzhang, he always collected miscellaneous notes written for him and kept them for him. Even when marching in a hurry to fight, this habit remains! When Guo Zixing listened to rumors and had doubts about Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Xiuying would try his best to mediate between them in order to solve their contradictions.
When Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to occupy Jiangning, it bordered Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. There is constant friction between them, and the soldiers at the front line are getting more and more nervous. Ma Xiuying took the initiative to take out the gold cloth in the palace to reward the soldiers, and sewed clothes and shoes with the soldiers' families. He often earnestly exhorts: "The world will not be dominated by murder!"
Ma Huanghou Ersheng: In order to save Zhu Yuanzhang, he was burned to death by baked wheat cake.
On one occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang was suspected by Guo Zixing, imprisoned by the other side, and cut off his diet! After being informed, Ma Xiuying went to the kitchen to steal a baked wheat cake, put it in his arms and secretly gave it to Zhu Yuanzhang. As a result, his chest was burnt!
After this incident, Ma Xiuying will secretly store some dry food at home to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from starving, so that he is often in the stage of not having enough to eat! After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne of the emperor, he often called those dry foods "the flood of wheat and rice"; Ma Xiuying is often praised in front of his ministers as a moral man like the grandson of the Tang Dynasty.
Ma Huanghou's Third Sage: Reflections on Interpreting the Family Law of the Song Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Xiuying also successfully became a queen. When she was in charge of the harem, she would read ancient books whenever she had time and warn the concubines in the palace of what she had learned! Because there are too many virtuous queens in the Song Dynasty, the history of women is copied from the harem family law in the Song Dynasty, which is convenient for introspection!
The fourth sage of Ma Huanghou: Zhu Yuanzhang, who repeatedly dissuaded him from getting angry.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a grumpy emperor. When he makes political decisions in North Korea, he often flies into a rage, and officials will be beheaded if they are not careful! But among them, Ma Huanghou dissuaded many people by his side, which reduced their punishment! For example, when Guo Jingxiang joined the army and was stationed in Zhangzhou, someone reported to the court that his son Zhi wanted to kill his father.
This not only violates ethics, but also violates the law. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally can't stand it. He is going to arrest this son and put him to death! But after Ma Huanghou learned that Guo Jingxiang had only one son, and what others reported was not necessarily true, so he killed him directly, which would kill the heir of the Guo family!
The fifth saint of Ma Huanghou: Whenever there is a disaster, he will pray to heaven.
When Ma Huanghou was in charge of the harem, once there was a serious disaster among the people, she would take the initiative to lead a group of people to pray to heaven and eat some coarse grains and wild vegetable soup to show sincerity! Sometimes, Zhu Yuanzhang himself couldn't stand it anymore, and advised me to arrange officials to rescue the famine and disaster relief in time! However, Ma Huanghou said that instead of rushing to the disaster relief every time, it is better to reserve in advance at ordinary times, so that the disaster relief effect will be better!
