Thirty-eight, the queen of big-footed horses
Queen Bigfoot, who is it?
In the thirteenth year of Zhizheng (1353 AD), Zhu Chongba, who was 25 years old at the time, received a letter written to him by his childhood friend Tang He, inviting him to join the peasant rebel army together. Zhu Chongba was desperate at that time, and after thinking hard for a long time, he ran to Guo Zixing's army as a small soldier.
Because Zhu Chongba was brave, witty and flexible, he took the lead in the war, handed over all the spoils he obtained, and always distributed them to everyone when he got the rewards, and won everyone's praise, so Guo Zixing regarded him as a confidant.
Guo Zixing felt that Zhu Chongba would be of great help to his career, and in order to win his heart, he married his adopted daughter to him, and renamed him Zhu Gongzi in the army. With an identity, Zhu Chongba's cheap name naturally can't be used anymore, so Zhu Chongba gave himself a new official name - Zhu Yuanzhang!
This woman who made Zhu Chongba become Zhu Yuanzhang, the history books call it the filial piety queen Ma, and the folk call it the queen of big-footed horses, and Zhu Yuanzhang has always called her by her maiden name: Ma Xiuying.
Ma Xiuying was born in troubled times, has courage and knowledge, and in the face of difficult adversity, she did her best to be Zhu Yuanzhang's solid backing. Once Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious of Guo Zixing and locked up in prison, Ma Xiuying hid the freshly baked flatbread in her arms and sent it to the prison for Zhu Yuanzhang to eat.
Another time, Zhu Yuanzhang fought with Chen Youliang, but he was defeated and pursued by Chen Youliang. Zhu Yuanzhang was injured and couldn't run, so he could only wait for death, Ma Xiuying relied on her big feet that were not bound to her feet, and escaped with Zhu Yuanzhang on her back in the chaos.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to win the world in the end, and Ma Xiuying contributed a lot. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world and became the emperor, and Ma Xiuying naturally became the queen. She is the most loved and respected woman in Zhu Yuanzhang's life, and Zhu Yuanzhang often refers to her opinions, and even changes his decisions under her influence.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Zhu Wenzheng, Ma Xiuying said: "He is your nephew, how can you bear to kill him?" ”
So Zhu Yuanzhang listened to her words and changed Zhu Wenzheng to imprisonment.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Song Lian, Ma Xiuying said: "He is the prince's teacher, how can he kill in vain?" The people know that they respect their teachers, how can our royal family not respect their teachers? ”
So Zhu Yuanzhang listened to her again and pardoned Song Lian's capital crime.
Zhu Yuanzhang in the previous life was like a blood-stained sword, murderous and majestic, but Ma Xiuying was a scabbard that could contain his edge.
Ma Xiuying went away with Zhu Yuanzhang at the age of fifty-one, and since her death, Zhu Yuanzhang's sword has lost the scabbard that can restrain him, and since then, he has been killing the surname Hurricane, and until he died, he was mercilessly killing.

Hundreds of years have passed, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying in the previous life have turned to dust.
However, at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was committed to reincarnation, stood in the grove outside the Qingliang Courtyard, facing the face of the third lady of the Ma family that had passed through hundreds of years, and still made him feel extremely familiar, almost thinking that he had returned to the thirteenth year of Zhizheng, he was still only a ninth master under Guo Zixing, and standing opposite was Guo Zixing's adopted daughter Ma Xiuying......
Everything seems to have gone back, back to that youthful time!
"Hey, Zhu Ba, you're so rude! How can you keep staring at Miss. Purple heart's voice destroyed Zhu Yuanzhang's good memories and pulled his thoughts back to reality.
Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, and then he suddenly realized that he had become Zhu Ba, and the woman opposite, although she looked exactly like Ma Xiuying, she would not be Ma Xiuying, but the third lady of the Ma family.
He quickly lowered his head and no longer looked directly at the face of the third lady. This lowered his head, his eyes swept from the feet of the third lady, and he suddenly sighed softly, it turned out that the third miss of the Ma family was not bound to her feet, not a three-inch golden lotus, but a pair of big feet.
You must know that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it was already a very common custom for women to bind their feet, especially the rich ladies, and there was no one out of a hundred who did not bind their feet. The "three-inch gold chain" is one of the capitals used by women to show off their beauty, and it is also a quality that must be had to marry a good family.
Miss Ma Jiasan didn't bind her feet? It's amazing.
Zhu Yuanzhang had an irrepressible thought in his heart that took root and sprouted wildly: Since I can be reborn, then my favorite Queen Bigfoot can also be reborn...... This woman may be my Ma Xiuying! Why else do they look exactly the same? Their feet are big, too! Is this what God arranged for me?
"Hey, Zhu Ba, you're really too rude, tell you not to look at Miss's face, it's good for you, lower your head and keep staring at Miss's feet, is there a person like you?" Purple Heartshade yelled angrily.
"Xiuying!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly opened his mouth and called, he wanted to make a test to see if the woman in front of him was his queen Ma Xiuying, if she really was, no matter how well she disguised it, when she heard this name, there would be a trace of strangeness in her eyes.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately disappointed, and a trace of confusion flashed on Miss Ma San's face, obviously unresponsive to the name, and said softly: "Xiuying? What do you mean? ”
"Isn't Miss's maiden name Xiuying?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked rudely.
"Scared! You ......" The third lady took a step back, and said with a flushed face: "My girlfriend's name is not Xiuying, and I have no reason to tell you my girlfriend's name." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart, this woman is not Ma Xiuying, although she looks very similar to her and has a pair of big feet, she can never be the reincarnation of Ma Xiuying.
"Hey, Zhu Ba, what are you doing? You're not such a rude person. Zixincai blocked in front of the third young sister, and blocked Miss Ma San's big feet with her skirt feet: "Miss is talking to you, it's already rude for you not to answer, and you're talking nonsense...... You see that Miss is going to get married, so you don't treat Miss as the master, right? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, lowered his head and said, "Don't dare!" I'm sorry I got distracted just now. Miss...... What did you just say? ”
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had returned to normal, Miss Ma San's blushing face also returned to white, and she put on a somewhat sad face again, and said in a low voice: "I said it just now...... I told the maids not to come to you, you must be angry with me, so you don't help me come up with an idea to refuse the marriage...... Alas! I hope you don't get angry with me anymore, now I'm going to get married...... I'm about to leave the Ma family, and I forgot about any dissatisfaction you had with me before. I hope that after I leave, you can think about it and choose one of those maids who like you to marry. ”
"Does the third lady really not want to get married?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suddenly.
"I really don't want to...... Alas......" Miss Ma San sighed lightly and said: "I was living well at home, and suddenly married into a strange family, who can stand this?" ”
Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily: "What do you mean by asking me like this?" Are you going to help me find a way to refuse marriage? ”
"Nope!" Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his voice, shook his head and said: "I'm just a small housekeeper in a partial courtyard, how can I get involved in Miss's marriage, and our family sending team has gone half the way, and we can reach Chengcheng within today, no matter what way there is, it's too late to use it now." ”
"I knew ......" Miss Ma San sighed sadly, "No one will help me...... Those of us who are women...... Alas...... Purple heart, let's go, let's go back to the carriage. ”
A master and a servant held hands and walked out slowly from the grove, the early morning dew was stained on her body, and the morning light was slightly spitting, the light was dazzling, shining and charming......
Zhu Yuanzhang quietly watched her figure disappear at the gate of the temple, and an indescribable emotion in his heart always lingered.
In fact, at that moment just now, he had already thought of a way to help the third lady refuse to marry.
He only needs to go to the place where Zheng Yanfu is hidden, untie the rope on his body, and let him kill Zhang Douyao, and the Chengcheng Zhang family is finished, and this family business naturally depends on blowing.
But what about doing that...... What good can he do? What are the benefits?
No, he has no benefit at all in doing this, first of all, the marriage between the Zhang family in Chengcheng and the Ma family in Baishui will be completely finished, and the loss of an officialdom in the Ma family will hinder his future future. Secondly, he also lost the credit of exposing Zheng Yanfu and could not be appreciated by the government. In the end, even if he released Zheng Yanfu, the latter might not accept his affection, and might become his enemy.
Helping the third lady refuse to marry can be described as doing more harm than benefit, and Zhu Yuanzhang is absolutely unwilling to do it.
But why...... How could his heart be shaken?
He slowly retreated from the small woods, walked to the door of the Qingliang Courtyard, and stood in the small courtyard in front of the Manjushri Palace, this small courtyard is very quiet, there are a few stone tables in it, a few stone benches, the sky is a little fish belly white, the shimmer is sprinkled, quietly covering the quiet small courtyard, the spring breeze blows the small courtyard is cold and cold, just suitable for thinking about things.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood with his hands in his hands, looking up at the sky...... I couldn't calm my heart for a long time.
What am I doing? What was I thinking? What's there to hesitate about? Walking into the woods, carrying Zheng Yanfu and sending him to the government, it was such a simple thing, and I could get another opportunity to improve my status...... And success is the process of grasping opportunities, taking advantage of opportunities, and stepping on opportunities countless times, and I don't need to hesitate at all.
That's right, for a person like Zhu Yuanzhang, whose interests are paramount, there is no need to hesitate at all......
But...... Zhu Yuanzhang's decision will be related to a woman's wishes! If she is an ordinary woman, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care if she wants to die or live, but she is not ordinary, although she is not Ma Xiuying, she looks exactly the same as Ma Xiuying...... The woman that Zhu Yuanzhang loves the most and owes the most, even if the soul in the body is not the same, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to see a face that looks exactly like Ma Xiuying's crying face......
Past and present lives, through more than 200 years...... There is only one person in the world who is qualified to change Zhu Yuanzhang's mind without interests, and this person's name is Ma Xiuying.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a sword, and Ma Xiuying is the scabbard of the sword......
