It was raining cats and dogs on the day Ma Huanghou was buried. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. What did a monk say to save everyone?

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, that is, on the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth lunar month in A.D. 1382, Ma Huanghou of the Ming Dynasty died at the age of 5 1. Ma Huanghou praised Ma Huanghou not only in many official history books at that time, but also today. In fact, Ma Huanghou deserves these praises.

After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, there were many women around him. They are young, beautiful and gentle, but at any time, Ma Huanghou's position as the palace master is rock solid. After Ma Huanghou's death, Zhu Yuanzhang never had a queen in his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang's birth can be described as the bottom. There were social classes in the Yuan Dynasty, with nine men and ten beggars, and Zhu Yuanzhang was a beggar. He never wanted to get ahead, and he didn't feel the warmth of his family. He was 25 years old and had not been married. At that time, he was very old. What Ma Xiuying can give Zhu Yuanzhang is beyond the mutual affection of husband and wife. No matter how high Zhu Yuanzhang sits, his childlike innocence will always be with Ma Huanghou.

Therefore, when Ma Huanghou died, Zhu Yuanzhang's pain was indescribable. He dropped out of school for three days and was immersed in grief. A few months ago, his grandson died of illness, and now his first wife has left. Zhu Yuanzhang was 55 years old that year. Even if he holds the power of life and death, he can't bring them back to life. His sadness is sincere, because although he has become a heaven, he is more the feelings of ordinary people, and only Ma Huanghou has called him in his life? Chongba? .

Ma Huanghou is from Suzhou, Anhui. According to the custom of the Han nationality in the north, when the funeral is held, the coffin is placed in the grave, and the dead can no longer be seen, only the grave of the dead can be seen. Before the funeral, Buddhism believes that lucky people can ascend to heaven immediately. However, most people are not so lucky. It will take at least seven days? It takes 49 days for the soul to find a home.

Civil and military officials naturally know that Zhu Yuanzhang has deep feelings for Ma Huanghou, and when the country is mourning, the funeral is especially grand. The whole city of Nanjing is solemn, the prince and grandson cry and sacrifice, and the civil and military officials are filial.

On the day of the funeral, it suddenly rained heavily. According to the custom, the funeral is that the soul belongs to another world after death, and the funeral ceremony is to send it? It? . If, in this process, the coffin or body of the deceased is wet by rain, it will lead to the death of the deceased. Future generations are not protected by their ancestors, but will suffer from generation to generation, resulting in persistent poverty. So-called? Rain spirit, generation after generation is poor? Once this happens, it is difficult to crack. After all, there was no technical means of artificial weather intervention in ancient times.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was a civilian and a farmer, so he naturally knew what he was talking about here. He broke out in a rage. As an emperor, he has no intention of being afraid. Generation after generation of poverty? , but also worried that affected Ma Huanghou's rest in peace, can't send her the last journey well. Seeing that it was raining harder and harder, people from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to remonstrate with Zhu Yuanzhang and chose another auspicious day for the funeral. Zhu Yuanzhang was strong all his life. How could he want to? He took out the prestige of the emperor and issued a decree that if the rain didn't stop, all those responsible for the funeral would be put to death.

About 1000 people are busy with funerals, regardless of position and level. If the weather is not beautiful, these people will definitely have no way out. These people knelt down and cried, but it was useless. It rained harder and harder.

Ma Huanghou's temperament is kind and filial, and he can't hide people's suffering. When she was seriously ill, Zhu Yuanzhang called a national famous doctor to consult her, but she refused. Imperial secretary puzzled, crying for the queen's treatment. Ma Huanghou said? I know my time is coming, and I'm afraid I can't avoid it. If these doctors treat me, after I die, they will take it out on the emperor and be killed. ?

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is angry with everyone because of the funeral, which is inevitable. If the compassionate Ma Huanghou knew about this situation, he would definitely have no peace.

When everyone was nervous about their lives, a monk stood up.

This monk named Zong Ling was a famous monk in the early Ming Dynasty, and his fame was more important than that at that time. He became a monk at the age of eight, shaved at the age of fourteen and went to Jingci Temple at the age of twenty. Since then, he has become a famous monk in Jiangnan. In the fourth year of Hongwu (137 1), Zhu Yuanzhang retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, and Huairou was a distant man, so he recruited a monk in the south of the Yangtze River. Zong Ling was called to live in Tianjie Temple, so Zhu Yuanzhang got to know him, and later he planned to make him an official. Zong Ling refused, saying that he wanted to die as a Buddhist.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't insist, so in 1378, he went to the western regions to learn Buddhist scriptures and spread Buddhism in China. It took him five years to travel 148,000 Li, and finally he got classics such as King of Solemn Treasures, Manjusri, and The Name of a Vacuum. As a result, he became famous and became a famous Taoist at that time. He was warmly received by Zhu Yuanzhang and presented poems. Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk in Huang Jue Temple when he was a child, and he had a natural affinity for Taoist priests.

Shortly after Zong Ling returned to China, he caught up with Ma Huanghou's national mourning. Zong Ling, a royal guest, knows Ma Huanghou's sympathy. Clear voice said? It rained today, because Ma Huanghou's virtue touched the heaven, even the heaven shed tears for the queen, and all the immortals came to send the queen on her way. ?

After Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down, although he was sad, he also knew that it was wrong to take it out on the innocent. Seeing the religious leader Zong Ling say this, he conveniently forgave everyone's sins, and the funeral was finished in the rain, which was also Ma Huanghou's last merit.

After Ma Huanghou's death, Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the palace and felt extremely desolate and lonely. He said: Why is an old woman pregnant? ? Heaven is majestic, and at this time it has become a lonely place. Looking back suddenly, no one dared to call him again? Chongba? , his half kindness, also went with Ma Huanghou. After the Ming Dynasty, under his iron fist rule, there was a blood shed. Ming dynasty? Hero? Nature, to shape the completion.

If Ma Huanghou can live with Zhu Yuanzhang for a lifetime, will the temperament of the Ming Dynasty be different? The iron temperament of refusing to fight made the Ming Dynasty the most backbone. Unfortunately, it is too easy to break, and several somersaults planted later in the Ming Dynasty are also related to this.
