How to treat the magical legend that Zhu Yuanzhang became an emperor from poverty?

Zhu Yuanzhang: (A.D.1328-A.D. 1398), Ming Taizu, overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, established the Ming Dynasty, and initiated the "Hongwu rule". From the poor to the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang experienced ups and downs and was legendary all his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang's family was very poor when he was a child, and he herded cattle to the landlords in the village since he was a child. One year, there was a severe drought in the local area, and in the spring of the following year, there was a serious locust plague and plague. Soon, the family died and escaped. Zhu Yuanzhang was cornered and went to Huang Jue Temple to get a haircut and become a monk. However, the famine was so severe that he was soon forced to wander and beg.

On one occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang did not beg for three days in a row. Hungry and tired, he fainted before he came to a ruined temple. I don't know how long it took. Two beggars who lived in the temple came back. When they saw the people lying on the ground, they felt there was still a breath. They felt there was still hope, so they quickly carried them in.

They set up a broken crock, lit dry wood, poured some leftover rice, some rotten leaves and some rotten tofu they begged, boiled it with water and fed it to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang slowly recovered and felt that he had never eaten anything so delicious. Asked what it was, the two beggars smiled and thought for a moment, joking that it was pearl jade white jade soup, which was more delicious than the emperor's imperial meal.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and wrote this soup so profoundly that he tasted it with other ministers later, but it was no longer the "delicious" feeling when he was starving to death.

Ma Shi, Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang in the north and south, and suffered a lot, and repeatedly advised Zhu Yuanzhang to be frugal, diligent and love the people. With Zhu Yuanzhang, I have deep feelings. Zhu Yuanzhang only made her the queen, and she was very grateful.

When Zhu Yuanzhang defected to Guo Zixing, he was witty and brave, appreciated by Guo Zixing, and married his adopted daughter Ma Shi to Zhu Yuanzhang. On one occasion, Guo Zixing was cheated by his son. He locked Zhu Yuanzhang up, refused to give him food, and tried to drive him away.

His wife, Ma Shi, went to the kitchen and stole a freshly baked biscuit. She happened to meet her wife, Zhang, and held her in her arms, burning her chest and crying. Zhang Mingxiao's reason made him burst into tears. He ordered people to give the baked wheat cake to Zhu Yuanzhang and advised Guo Zixing to release it. Zhu Yuanzhang later learned that he loved his wife more.

When fighting Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang was once seriously injured. His wife, Ma Shi, ignored some things and ran away with Zhu Yuanzhang on her back. Her son, Zhu Biao, saw it and drew it. Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw this painting, he burst into tears and loved it deeply. I cannot thank you enough.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and immediately became a queen. Ma Huanghou not only personally arranged Zhu Yuanzhang's meals every day, but also took good care of the concubines and the prince. He also set an example, washing clothes again and again, and not changing them when they are worn out. He weaves and cuts clothes himself and cherishes his possessions. He often discourages Zhu Yuanzhang tactfully according to the facts. Although he was strong-willed, he followed the Queen's correct advice and reduced the punishment of many people. As a match made in heaven, it is a model.
