Fortune-telling of virtuous masters

When it comes to Ma Huanghou, you may first think of Ma Huanghou, the wife of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, there was also a Ma Huanghou in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was also a famous queen in history.

Ma Shi, the queen of Mingde, was born in 39 AD. Her father was Ma Yuan, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When Ma/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, his father went to war, his brother died of illness, and his mother, Mrs. Lin, fell ill because of excessive sadness. While taking care of his mother, Ma took care of the housework and disciplined his servants, and handled it in an orderly way, just like an adult, which surprised his family.

At the age of 1 1, his father Ma Yuan died in the army. After his death, he was framed by his political opponents. Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu was furious and cancelled the new seal of the vest. As a result, the vest is declining and the situation is very difficult. Because people were too upright, they offended many dignitaries. After their death, the dignitaries took the opportunity to bully the Ma family.

Shortly after her father died, Ma became seriously ill, and her family invited a famous doctor for her, but the medicine stone was ineffective and could not be cured for a long time. My mother, Mrs. Lin, was very worried, so she had to send someone to tell the good or bad news of the horse. After divination, the fortune teller said, "Don't worry, although this woman is ill, it will be very expensive, and the bad omen can't be said."

? Mrs Lin of unknown so invited a fortune teller to her home. When the fortune teller saw Ma Shi, she was surprised and said, "I will definitely become a vassal of this woman. However, although she is noble and has no children, she will be stronger than her own if she can raise the children born by others with her heart. " The implication is obvious, that is, it implies that Ma Shi is the life of the Queen.

Sure enough, soon after, Ma's condition improved and he recovered quickly.

13 years old, her cousin Ma Yan heard that Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu was going to marry his ministers, and wrote that Ma Yuan had also made contributions to the court, requesting Ma Yuan's daughter as a candidate. Finally, the horse was chosen and entered the uterus. Because Matthew was young, Queen Yin Lihua kept her as a maid. Ma's cleverness and familiarity with etiquette won Yin Lihua's love. When he grew up, Ma was favored by Zhuang and became a loving couple.

In 57 AD, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu died, and Emperor Han Zhuang succeeded to the throne, and was made a nobleman. Although Ming Di loved Ma Shi very much, Ma Shi never gave birth to a boy and a girl. Later, Jia Guiren gave birth to Prince Liu Wei, and Ming Di gave Liu Wei to Ma Wei for support and said to her, "People don't have to have their own sons, but they are afraid of not taking good care of them." Ma Shi raised Liu Shi carefully, just like his own son. Liu Wei is also filial and honest by nature, so his mother is kind and filial, and there is no contradiction.

In 60 AD, ministers asked Ming Di to be appointed queen. I plan to be a queen at once, but because Ma has no children, she is afraid of opposition, so she doesn't want to make a statement. Empress Yin Lihua said, "Ma Guiren's virtue is unparalleled in the harem, so let her." This is exactly what Ming Di wanted, so he was immediately appointed queen.

In 75 AD, after Ming Di's death, Liu Wei, Ma Shi's adopted son, ascended the throne as Emperor Zhang Han, and Ma Shi was honored as the Empress Dowager. In 79 AD, Ma died of illness at the age of 465,438+0. She is the Queen of Mingde, posthumous title, and she was buried with Ming Di in the Fairyland Mausoleum.

Although Ma Shi was the imperial concubine and empress dowager, she was humble and simple all her life, never pursuing enjoyment, and created a precedent for the empress to wear cloth. In addition, Ma's thoughts of calligraphy and etiquette, understanding the meaning of reason, not believing in evil, being kind to others and restraining consorts also played an important role in He Zhang's political life. And Zhang are both wise kings in history, known as "the rule of Ming" in history, and Ma played an important role. The virtue of horses has also become an example for later empresses to learn. "Biography of the Continued Daughters" praised her as "a teacher of all the daughters in the family and a model of Chinese mothers".

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Ma Shi is the first female historian in China, and she wrote The Records of Xianzong, which was the first of its kind.
