What contribution did Ma Huanghou make to Daming?

There is a hidden rule in the feudal society of China, that is, women who excessively participate in state affairs will be labeled? That woman is facing North Korea? Title, if it's correct, no problem. Once it does, it will be accused of bringing disaster to the country and people.

Ma Huanghou is a rare person in the history of China who is strict with himself and can make his own contribution to the newly established Ming Dynasty by influencing her husband Zhu Yuanzhang.

1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtian, and the Ming Dynasty was formally established. His first wife, Ma Shi, shared weal and woe, was made queen. From Guo Zixing's bodyguard to the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Huanghou always accompanied her husband through the most difficult years.

Now he is the king of a country, rich in the world and kind to his wife. Zhu Yuanzhang always wanted her to enjoy a luxurious life.

However, Ma Huanghou did not follow her husband's idea in this respect. She still keeps her old way of life. Although she doesn't have to be displaced everywhere, she is still poor and wears old clothes. Only on grand festivals will she wear the queen's fine clothes.

Ma Huanghou always takes care of her husband's daily life. Her example influenced the concubines, princes and princesses in the whole harem. She was called? Hou Xian? Zhu Yuanzhang himself said when he talked about his wife in the court:

"Poor at home, think of a good wife. If it weren't for Houde, it would be safe today. How dare he forget the poor and lowly people with wealth! "

Facing the praise of her husband and the ruling and opposition parties, Ma Huanghou said to her husband that she should praise the contributions and contributions of the ministers and the people, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very moved.

Empresses of past dynasties always wanted to help their families after their wealth was prominent, which often led to the exclusive rights of consorts. Ma Huanghou was born an orphan, so Zhu Yuanzhang offered to find the clan relatives of the Queen and raise them, but Ma Huanghou flatly refused, she thought? Is it against the rule of law for officials to give private money to relatives? .

Even the queen said so, and other concubines dared not ask the emperor to provide something for their families free of charge.

Because Ma Huanghou deeply understand? It's hard to start a business, but it's harder to keep it? As a woman, although she can't help her husband to govern the country and participate in political affairs, she can set an example for the brand-new Ming Dynasty through her own behavior.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, his personality became more and more irritable and suspicious, and he became more and more impatient with civil and military officials. Criminal law and even massacres occur frequently. Ma Huanghou is the only person who can persuade and stop his behavior. Because of this, she has protected many people.

1382, Ma Huanghou was in critical condition. At the last moment of her life, she still thought about her country and left Zhu Yuanzhang with her last words:

"May your majesty seek a wise man and be cautious to the end, so that future generations will be wise and subjects will take their place."

After the death of Ma Huanghou, Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken, and finally Hongwu did not set up another queen.
