Why did Liu Zhuang make an expensive horse without children queen?

Liu Zhuang's only queen, Ming Taizu, is the general's third daughter. I've lost my maiden name, Queen Mingde of posthumous title. Judging from posthumous title alone, we know that she is a respected queen.

Ma Yuan fought side by side with Liu Xiu, made great contributions and became a new candidate. However, Ma Yuan was honest and clean, did not know how to please royalty, and offended Liu Xiu's son-in-law Song Liang and Dou Gu. With resentment, the children of these powerful people used Ma Yuan's death to sue Liu Xiu and falsely accused Ma Yuan of plundering folk treasures. Liu Xiu flew into a rage, took back Ma Yuan's wedding dress and forbade him to be buried in the former senior cemetery. Ma defended her late husband and allowed him to be buried in his ancestral grave. But the position of the Ma family is not what it used to be.

Ma Yuan offended too many powerful people before his death, but now after his death, he bullies widows and orphans. Ma's two sons and also died young. Mrs. Ma can't be the director because of grief, so he is in charge of Ma's family affairs. At that time, she was only ten years old, but she was smart and methodical.

Ma Shi is very dignified. According to historical records, "seven feet two inches long, square mouth, hair salon." Can easily recite and read Chunqiu and Chu Ci, especially Zhou Guan and Dong Zhongshu. "Ming Di said," Ma Huanghou hairdressing, there are four big bun, but still more than enough, turned three times around the bun. If you don't trim your eyebrows, you can trim the small corner of your left eyebrow. I often say that I am sick and proud of my life. "

Ma Yuan has three unmarried daughters, aged over thirteen and under twenty.

At this time, the royal family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, from Zhuang to princes, had not officially conferred the crown princess and princess, and according to the system, they all wanted concubines. Therefore, my cousin Ma Yan wants her beautiful sisters to be the concubines of princes or kings. This will not only add luster to the family, but also find a good way out for them.

At the age of thirteen, Ma Yan begged his cousin. Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu knew Ma Yan's mind very well and agreed to his request. According to the imperial system, he called a fortune teller to visit the fortune of several Miss Ma Yan.

The horse looks dignified and beautiful, and its long hair is black and shiny. I didn't put on makeup, but my left eyebrow corner was a little missing, and I was lightly painted with indigo naturalis.

Although there is such a small flaw in the appearance of the horse, the fortune teller was impressed by her extraordinary bearing after reading it, which shows that she is fully qualified to be a member of the royal family.

So which emperor should Ma Shi marry? Ma Yuan is out of favour, out of favour. What good looks can the emperor give his daughter? However, Liu Xiu's decision surprised many powerful people, but it was a big surprise for Ma Yan. The birth of a horse is really hard to predict. Who knows what Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor who seems to be ungrateful to Ma Yuan, thinks?

What is even more surprising is that as soon as Ma Shi entered the uterus, she was specially taken care of by the queen Yin Lihua. Empress Yin appreciates politeness, filial piety and gentleness very much, and is always full of praise.

Ma Shi's character was also loved by the future emperor Liu Zhuang. He loves Miss Ma more than other concubines, and even often lets her live in the back room of her bedroom so as to be close from time to time.

Happiness depends on misfortune. Who would have thought that Ma Girl, who was gossiped by her fiance's family, could actually become a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of the queen and a wife in the eyes of the prince!

Horses not only learn character and win the trust of the queen, but also have long black and bright hair and plump hair. At that time, women had to wear a bun. Ordinary women's hair has one or two bun, which must be added to the wig, while Ma Shi can tie four big bun with his natural black hair. Moreover, after eating four steamed stuffed bun dishes, there is no extra space on her head, but her hair is still more than enough, enough to circle four steamed stuffed buns three times.

Good kidney qi, good hair, good natural conditions and bright energy. Surprisingly, although Liu Zhuang made almost all efforts for Ma Shi, Ma Shi never gave birth to a man and a woman for many years. This not only worries Liu Zhuang, but also worries Markov himself. Although women don't want others to share their husbands out of love, Liu Zhuang is the emperor. If the emperor has no children, it will affect the inheritance of the ancestral temple and even lead to clan disputes. The consequences will be very serious, which will lead to peaks and peaks.

People around you often see Markov's anxiety. Thinking of the prediction of "childless" when I was a teenager, I often looked for suitable women among the maids in my womb and asked them to take care of me and let Liu Zhuang have more children. For these maids who may have children, Ma Shi takes care of them very much and always cares and takes care of them.

In February of the second year of Wu Zhongyuan, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu died, and Liu Zhuang acceded to the throne in the first month of 1898 at the age of thirty. By this time, Ma Shi had been in the palace for at least six years. . Well, when Liu Zhuang ascended the throne, Ma Shi was only twenty years old, ten years younger than her husband.

When Ma Shi became the emperor of Liu Zhuang, he was named "Noble Person" after the queen. When the new emperor ascended the throne, ministers scrambled to cram their daughters into the palace, hoping to become grandfathers, future little emperors and little princes.

Among these newly married women, there is a family named Jia, whose mother is his wife's eldest daughter and Ma's niece. After getting her husband's love, Jia's is far less than a horse with menstruation, but her fertility is much stronger. Shortly after Jia entered the palace, he gave birth to his son Liu Da for Liu Zhuang.

Although she gave birth to a son, Liu Zhuang still had a bad impression on Jia. He always liked Ma's family who didn't give birth to a child for himself. Moreover, he feels young and willful, only knowing that Jia's jealousy is not a suitable mother. On the other hand, he is also very aware of Ma's yearning for his son.

Therefore, Liu Zhuang followed suit, making the one who gave birth to the prince a nobleman and Jia's son a godson.

When sending the baby to the horse's arms, Liu Zhuang said a word to comfort the horse. This sentence has also become a common lesson for all parents in the world: "People are not necessarily born by themselves, but they cannot be supported by love." In other words, not everyone in the world can have children, and there is no need to have children of their own. As long as you have a loving heart to raise, other people's children will become good children who are filial to you.

Ma thanked her husband for his understanding of infertility and took good care of the children. Although there are servants in the palace, she still does everything alone, so that she is tired and haggard. The maternal love she gave her children even far exceeded the efforts of other concubines in the palace to raise their children.

Liu Yun has been closely related to his adoptive mother since he was a child. From her, he not only got the most selfless maternal love, but also deeply admired her kindness and tolerance. He has the deepest feelings for Ma Shi's naive son. Although it is called adoptive mother and adopted son, it is actually closer than many biological mothers and children, and there is no bad blood between them. Mother is not as good as mother. Liu Da is full of gratitude to Ma Shi, who he thinks is more worthy of his love.

Ma Shi's love for her husband, tolerance for concubines in the harem and maternal love for Liu Ao are all in the eyes of Emperor Han Ming. He wants Ma Shi to be his queen. However, Ma Shi had no children of his own, so he rashly became a queen, which easily caused criticism from other concubines who had their own sons. Therefore, in the three years of succession to the throne, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not appoint a formal queen.

In the spring of Yongping's third year, Liu Zhuang became a father. It's hard to say without being queen. This is not only a private matter of the emperor, but also a national event. Therefore, the relevant departments invited Emperor Han Ming to ask for the title of Queen and "Changqiu Palace".

At this time, in the harem of Emperor Han Ming, at least three concubines gave birth to a prince. In addition to Jia Guiren, there are two concubines, who gave birth to Liu Jian, the former foreign king, and Liu Ren, respectively.

In addition, there is a lady in the palace. Although she hasn't given birth to a prince yet, it goes without saying that she is a girl of Queen Yin Lihua's family, and Liu Zhuang is a cousin. It can be said that it is difficult for Liu Zhuang to become a noble person at once. So although he ascended the throne, he never issued an imperial decree.

I never knew that my son was better than my mother, not to mention the intellectual character of the horse, and Queen Yin Lihua also saw it in her eyes. So she spoke: "Ma Guiren's harem should be the queen."

On Jiazi Day in February of the third year of Emperor Yongping of Han Dynasty, Ma Shi became the queen of Liu Zhuang, and his adopted son Liu Yun was also named Crown Prince. Ma Huanghou's frugality is a virtue, and Emperor Han Ming respects it very much. Although Ma Huanghou has no children, she and Ming Di have always loved each other, and the status of the queen is also very stable.

In the eighteenth year of Yongping, Emperor Han Ming died, and _ acceded to the throne as emperor. Ma Huanghou, the adoptive mother, was honored as the Queen Mother, while Jia Guiren, the biological mother, was not. In addition, only Ma is surnamed Hou, and Jia is not surnamed Jue.

In June, four years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, 42-year-old Matthew died of illness in Changle Palace, calling himself Queen Mingde. In July of the same year, she was buried with Emperor Han Ming in the Mausoleum of Wonderland.
