The newly married Jiangdu County Lord's face is not glamorous, and he even feels that he is even more complaining, it seems that Yibin is not satisfactory to her, of course, with her character, no matter who she finds, she should have a bad life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Between Ma and Guo Ningfei, it should be a good fit, Guo Ningfei made efforts in the draft of Concubine Taisun, Ma naturally knew that the two were very affectionate when they spoke, and Ma also asked the female officials next to Concubine Ning about Concubine Ning's daily life, and she was very meticulous and caring.

She quickly turned her head and talked to Zhang Zhaohua again: "I heard about the events of that day...... After all, the county lord is growing and raising, and he doesn't know that the people are suffering from poverty...... Don't be harsh, let me admonish you...... has already made her apologize to the princess of King Zhou. ”

"Precious has no atmosphere," Ma said to Concubine Guo Ning: "If it weren't for the reminder of the princess on the day of the county lord's wedding, it would be unconsciously arrogant and extravagant. ”

When Zhang Zhaohua heard this, his intuition was not good. Sure enough, Ma said: "The grandmother is just thinking that in the future, the princess and the county lord will be surrendered in the palace, and the dowry should be simple, and the gold and silver will not be wasted, and there is no need to plug all over the body, nor do you have to be ingenious, so as to restore the style of simplicity." ”

Zhang Zhaohua finally understood that Ma's hand was beautiful.

She proposed that the palace should marry the princess and the county lord in the future, and the dowry would be simple - how willing and happy were the princesses? And Ma Shi did this to make a fool of herself, and she picked up a virtuous reputation in vain, and she must be full of praise inside and outside the palace.

Zhang Zhaohua said: "The princess is virtuous, and the courtiers just say it casually, which is not a warning, but the mothers can remember it in their hearts, which really makes the courtiers look up and be ashamed." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention, and that's what he says.

She added: "I have heard that Empress Xiaoci is very thrifty, and she has clothes that she wears and washes many times on weekdays, but she has never changed them in tatters. The good silk in the palace was given to the old man, and the remaining cloth and silk were made into clothes, and given to the kings and princesses, so that they could know the difficulties of sericulture. Such a loving heart, the virtue of frugality, Yang Fang is famous in the annals of history, and the name is broadcast in Tongwei. Today, seeing that the princess and concubine can be respectful and diligent and thrifty, she can't help but praise the courtiers, and she can really be compared with the first queen and the eldest grandson. ”

Zhang Zhaohua also has some meaning in saying this. Empress Xiaoci's thrift is to lead by example, starting from herself, pushing herself and others, and using her own thrift to drive the thrift of kings and princesses. But on the other hand, Ma's thrift is the thrift of exploiting other people, making the princesses' dowries simple, but he is not thrifty.

Moreover, Zhang Zhaohua has one of the deepest intentions.

When she came out of the temple, she thought about too many things.

Queen Ma is a highly praised virtuous queen in history, because she is written to perfection in the book. Zhang Zhaohua wore this era and found that Queen Ma was perfect in everyone's mouths, in the palace and outside the palace, everyone mentioned her as grateful and Huaide.

There is nothing wrong with this, because the queen's own character is indeed very noble.

If the people who have served Queen Ma and the people around her say that Queen Ma is so good and so good, there is no problem, because they have all seen Queen Ma with their own eyes. But these new palace maids, young children, also know that Queen Ma is good, and anyone can say a few things to prove it, which is not right, because they have not seen it with their own eyes.

What you have not seen with your own eyes is known from others.

Zhang Zhaohua felt that there were people who spontaneously thanked her for the queen's deeds, but there must also be people who wanted others to know.

Who pushed Queen Ma to the altar step by step - she has become a god, the palace will enshrine her words, and compile her deeds into the "Filial Piety Record" to the world, so that the person who praises in everyone's mouth is God.

But is there really such a perfect person in the world?

In the "Record of Filial Piety" written by the emperor himself, Empress Ma was compared to Empress Mingde of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Empress Wende of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. But the first two queens, are they perfect?

Empress Mingde of the Eastern Han Dynasty, she raised the children of the palace man Jia, and the book never mentioned the ending of this Jia family, isn't this just taking away his son?

Besides, Empress Changsun, in the first year of Zhenguan, her half-brother Sun Anye participated in the rebellion, and the crime was unforgivable, because Empress Changsun interceded, Anye was saved from death, but exiled. said that he was fair and virtuous, and he didn't intercede for outsiders, where did he go-because he was the brother of the eldest grandson queen, so he had to avoid death. The same comparison is Tang Taizong's nephew, Princess Changguang's son Zhao Jie, he also participated in the rebellion, Princess Changguang personally kowtowed to her younger brother for her son's affairs with tears in her eyes, just to let her son save a life, but what he got was Tang Taizong's high-sounding sentence "Punish no relatives", or execute Zhao Jie.

Therefore, there is no justice in the world, it is the emperor who says justice in his mouth, and whoever is fair will be just.

These two virtuous queens who have been praised through the ages, in fact, the details are not worth scrutinizing. So what about Queen Ma, is it really as perfect as written in "Filial Piety Record"?

Let's look at the seventh year of Hongwu, Cheng Musun Guifei died, and the emperor asked the East Palace to mourn for the concubine, but Prince Yiwen refused, and the emperor was half angry, but he still did not give up the idea of choosing a son to mourn for the concubine, so he chose the king of Zhou, and let the king of Zhou serve the same as the mourning of his biological mother, that is, the three-year mourning.

How serious is this matter, because before there were only concubines who mourned for their mother-in-law for three years, and there were no sons who mourned for their mother-in-law, from this Sun Guifei, there was a concubine who also mourned for his mother for three years, and the son-in-law served the annual mourning for his mother.

Perhaps the emperor thought that the standard of mourning clothing for the entire matriarchal line was too low and needed to be raised, so that there was a definite political reason for this pursuit of ancient rites. But it is necessary to see that the emperor triggered a change because of one person, changing the funeral system for thousands of years. And when the emperor set the sons to mourn for the concubine, he only thought of the woman Cheng Mu Guifei, and forgot that as long as the emperor's concubines are the concubines of the princes, it stands to reason that they are the concubines of the princes.

Whether this is the result of the emperor's careful consideration, or whether it is for the funeral of Sun Guifei, it is not clear now, but Empress Ma, who was still alive in the seventh year of Hongwu, was rarely silent in this turmoil.

What the queen should or shouldn't say is actually clear, because what Prince Yiwen said and did, that is, her attitude.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, after the crown prince made it clear that he would not wear mourning clothes for the concubine, the first fierce conflict broke out between the father and son, and the emperor was so angry that he wanted to hit him with a sword. Later, under the persuasion of everyone, the situation was calmed down.

Therefore, if you look at it, when it comes to Cheng Mu Guifei, Queen Ma may not always be calm.

That is to say, everyone has such and such shortcomings, such and such shortcomings and weaknesses, and the process of becoming a saint is to work hard to suppress, improve and make up for these loopholes, but no one can completely get rid of these things that coexist with blood, unless she dies, and later generations infinitely magnify her advantages and cover up those shortcomings.

Who did this, the answer is obvious, it is the emperor.

Did the emperor make Empress Ma a benchmark just to show his descendants - to be exact, this is actually a check and balance on the harem.

The emperor wants all the women to look up to the queen, and whoever pleases her, the emperor will praise her, saying that she is like the queen, or that she has filial piety and filial piety; if the emperor wants to cure a woman's sin, he can say, "Why don't you have the virtues of the queen at all?"

The emperor used this hand to govern the harem, so Queen Ma became a role model for everyone to follow. So it doesn't matter if Zhang Zhaohua breaks into the Taimiao, because she is pleased by the emperor, but if Ma is praised by everyone for being comparable to the queen's virtue, then she will be in great trouble.
