The drunkard likes Brother Shaoyan’s book review very much, and it is specially excerpted here.

Tragic characters and tragic heroes talk about Queen Ma in "Ming"

There are thousands of women in Qidian novels, but there are not many Queen Ma in "Ming".

Zhu Yuanzhang in history did not know what kind of blessing he could marry Empress Ma as his wife, thus laying the foundation for exorcising the Tartars and unifying the country. The twenty-four historians had tens of thousands of virtuous queens, and Empress Ma should be the first virtuous queen.

The Ming Dynasty said, "The post-kind is kind and wise, and he is good at calligraphy and history." Judging from the clues in the Ming Dynasty, I think Empress Ma's political talent is above Zhu Yuanzhang. The following summary of Empress Ma's ruling thoughts in the Ming Dynasty are as follows.

1. The foundation of not killing people is the basis. The Ming Dynasty said, "I once said to Taizu that the world is based on not killing people. Taizu is good at it."

2 Never forget the difficulties of the ministers. The Ming Dynasty said, "Every pair of ministers describe the wise men, and the same as the Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty. They retreated to the queen. The queen said, "I heard that it is easy for my husband and wife to protect each other, but it is difficult for the king and ministers to protect each other. Your Majesty will not forget the poor and humble, and I hope that the ministers will not forget the difficulties of the ministers. And how dare I compare with Empress Changsun!"."

3 The emperor should do his best to reward and punish according to law. Empress Ma of the Ming Shima told Zhu, "The emperor does not increase punishment and reward for joy and anger. When Your Majesty is angry, it may be severe. If you submit it to the palace, you will consider the peace. Even if Your Majesty discusses the crimes of others, you will also be ordered to have a minister."

4 Avoid extravagance and use wise men. The Ming Dynasty said, then Emperor Qi said: "The lord of man is self-reliant and desire is poor, and he should be generous in cultivating virtuous people."

5 The law should not be changed. Empress Shima of the Ming Dynasty said to Zhu, "I am poor and humble. To this day, I am always afraid that arrogance will be born from luxury and danger will be born from subtleties, so I hope that wise people will manage the world together." He also said: The law will be wrong after repeated changes, and the law will be wrong when it will be wrong when it will be wrong when it will be wrong when it will be hard for the people."

etc.

His ability to recognize people is also better than that of Zhu. The Ming Dynasty talked about several examples, such as "Guo Jingxiang, the army, guarded Hezhou. People said that his son wanted to kill his father with a spear, and the emperor was about to kill him. The emperor said, "Jingxiang stopped a son, but the people said that he might not be true, and he might kill him. The emperor was in vain." The emperor was honest and despised him. ". Another example is Li Wenzhong, guarding Yanzhou, Yang Xian falsely accused him of illegality, and the emperor wanted to summon him back. The emperor said, "Yan is the enemy's territory, and it is not appropriate to be easily general. Moreover, Wen Zhong is virtuous, and Xian's words are trustworthy?" The emperor then. Wen Zhong succeeded to make contributions to his descendants."

Not to mention personal morality.

Frugality, the Ming Dynasty said, "Every time the emperor was eating, he looked at himself. He was very flirted with clothes and clothes, but he couldn't bear it even if he was tired."

He was full of love for others. For example, "The emperor was appointed as the official of Guanglu. The emperor was fortunate to return to the Imperial College. Later, he asked the students how many students were. The emperor said, "There are many talents. Students have food, what will their wives rely on?" So he set up a red plate warehouse and accumulated grain to give them to his family.

Don’t be jealous. For example, “A concubine and palace servant are favored by someone who has a son, treat him well.”

Treat people approachable. "A woman who is ordered to enter the court will treat her as a family ritual."

He did not seek personal gain. "The emperor wanted to visit the queen's clan members to serve him, but the queen thanked him and said, "It is illegal to have a title or a salary in the foreign family." He refused and stopped.

What is particularly touching is that Empress Ma was critically ill and refused to seek medical treatment for the sake of the doctor. "In August of the 15th year of Hongwu, the ministers asked for prayers and good doctors. The latter said to the emperor: "Life and death, life and life, what is the benefit of prayer and worship! How can a doctor live? If you make the medicine ineffective, don't you blame the doctor for the sake of your concubine?" The disease was urgent, and the emperor asked what he wanted to say, "I hope Your Majesty will seek advice and be careful when he is at the beginning. The descendants are all virtuous, and the subjects will get the place." That month, Bingxu collapsed, and the year was fifty-one."

As for her appeal, the Ming Dynasty said, "The palace man thought of him and wrote a song: "My descendant was sage and kind, and transformed into a master country. He helped me and nurtured me, and I was unforgettable. Huai De was unforgettable. In the year of Wans, Empress Xu of Chengzu, "Empress Gao loved her deeply. After being the king's lord, she lived in Empress Xiaoci and died for three years. Vegetables were like rituals. Empress Gao's last words could be recited, and she would not leave her alone." She also said that "In June of the 25th year, when she heard that the crown prince died, she cried very sadly. At the beginning, Empress Gao died, and Ying cried until she vomited blood. He was sick and died in the town at the age of 48. The soldiers and civilians cried all over the streets, and the far-off barbarians burst into tears." The family of emperors and families were as good as paper. After Empress Ma's death, she could feel at ease.

The novel "Explanation" "Empress Ma is not a major character and is often ignored by others. But the drunkard brother is very concerned about Empress Ma in the chapter "Shang". In the book, Empress Ma said, "Now that I have gone like this, I can be considered a life-long reward. In the eyes of the ministers, our royal family is not too much." The following description is "In the novel, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows gently, what do you say, one life is worth a life, you are the mother of a country, how can the lives of these subordinates be compared with you?"

Queen Ma in the book is a noble person who rarely believes in equality in life and practices it personally. Queen Ma in history has the style of ancient people and is also the top noble person.

In the seventeenth year of Hongwu Palace, the last thing is to say, "Everyone lives happily, except for the kind-hearted Queen Ma who died in despair after hearing the "Xuanwu Gate" incident. Death in despair is just four words, with endless meanings.

Sometimes I guess that Empress Ma in history actually lived a very painful life. As for the ideal of governing the country, she might be closer to Li Wenzhong and was completely different from Zhu Yuanzhang's route of governing the country. Her adopted son was afraid of being blamed, and she died of a bad life and was almost helpless. She was a little bit worse than death. So she died so freely and without any thoughts.

The Zhu Ming Dynasty had many wise queens. Empress Ma, Empress Xu, and Empress Zhang of Emperor Renzong were three of them. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were so affectionate, but the empress did not become the queen after her death.

Concubine Chengzu, "I am virtuous, benevolent and filial, and respectful, and I am valued by the emperor. The emperor was often angry in his later years. Concubine Qu was used as a counselor, and all the princes and princesses depended on him. "In his later years, Concubine Chengzu was not young. Therefore, beauty was useless and was trustworthy to the Zhu father and son. Empress Xu trained by Empress Xu, Prince Wang (later Renzong) and the princes and princesses were able to occupy the light.

The only possibility that Zhu Yuanzhang had feelings for his life was Empress Ma (or the crown prince). Therefore, Empress Ma became more and more powerful after his death. Two years after Empress Ma died, Li Wenzhong and Xu Da died. Two years after the crown prince died, Lan Yu, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde died. No matter how powerful he was, he still could not leave with mercy. It was just that in an unequal world, it was easier for those who were superiors to vent their anger on others.

Among the characters in the novel "Ming", like tragic heroes such as Wang Feiyu, Queen Ma is also a tragic hero, and her death is also ignored by others.

In "Ming Dynasty", Zhu Yuanzhang is a tragic figure. A tragic hero died for others. A tragic figure believed that his destiny represents history and ultimately failed.
