The fourteenth year of Hongwu passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, we came to the fifteenth year of Hongwu, which was 1382 AD.

This year is destined to be a restless year.

A lot of things happened during this year, some of which were completely beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations.

There are three things that are particularly important here. In addition to the good news that the Southern Expedition ended, two major events related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty also happened.

One is that Zhu Yuanzhang personally founded an organization.

A spy agency that can definitely be called a secret agent.

Jinyiwei.

Another big thing happened.

It was a major event that even Zhu Yuanzhang, who had long looked down on life and death, was unwilling to see.

Queen Ma passed away.

The dead are the most important, so let’s pick the important things to talk about first.

In August 1382, Queen Ma fell ill and died.

This was definitely bad news for Zhu Yuanzhang.

For officials of the Ming Dynasty, it could be considered a bad thing.

This year, Queen Ma, who was still in good health, died suddenly.

Specifically, only 51 years have passed since his birth in 1332 (the third year of Yuan Zhishun).

It can be said that her birth was accompanied by many ups and downs.

Her destiny seemed destined to be different.

Not long after this simple girl was born, her mother died of illness.

For a young girl, the death of her mother must have been an endless blow.

At this time, the first thing she needs to face is the loss of maternal love.

This is definitely a huge blow to a girl.

But God didn't seem to have mercy on this poor girl. It played games that it seemed to enjoy endlessly.

Before he could recover from his mother's death, another even bigger blow followed.

Her father, Ma Gong, was forced to flee to avoid being hunted by his enemies.

While fleeing, Mr. Ma died in a foreign country.

Suffering successive bereavements is undoubtedly a huge disaster for a girl.

At this moment, God seemed to want to abandon her.

Abandon this poor girl.

Let her fend for herself in grief and suffering.

Or maybe God wants to torture this poor girl and make her go through all kinds of hardships in this world.

Her fiery tenderness is tempered in hardships.

And when everyone thought that God was going to abandon this poor girl, Holy Mary seemed to have discovered this poor girl among all living beings, and at the same time spread her wings of mercy in sympathy.

At the most critical moment, God arranged another father for this tragic girl.

A stepfather who, although not related by blood, is treated as a biological relative.

Guo Zixing.

This rich second-generation stepfather who came from a wild background fully developed Wei Xiaobao's wise sayings.

We are good brothers and we are loyal.

Although Guo Zixing indeed lacked a lot in terms of military talent and monarchical ambition, in terms of brotherly loyalty, the performance of this playboy with a not-so-good background was still remarkable.

Guo Zixing, a reckless man, the first thing he did to his brother's daughter was to adopt her as his adopted daughter.

He also taught her to read, calligraphy and painting, giving her the warmth of father's love.

From this point of view, although Guo Zixing is not a good general, he can be called a good father.

He gave his daughter the same care and love as any biological father.

His approach is commendable.

Shortly afterwards, Han Shantong Liu Futong rebelled, and when the world was in chaos, the hot-headed Guo Zixing also raised the banner of anti-Yuan and became a member of the rebellion.

This is undoubtedly another huge challenge for Miss Ma.

The first thing she needs to face is the threat of being implicated.

If her father rebels, according to the laws of the Yuan Dynasty, she, the daughter, must be the first political target to be executed.

At this time, as a woman, she must have had thoughts of fear in her heart.

Don't talk about how generous your mind is, nor how unlimited your abilities are. In the face of crisis, the first thing people think of is fear, and seeking the greatest safety and security in fear is human nature.

If a person who has never experienced life and death talks about how unafraid of death he is and how brave he is, then I can only say that this person is stupid.

Stupidity is full of ignorance and ignorance.

He has never seen the world, let alone faced life and death.

No one is afraid of death, including you.

Me too.

As a woman, Ma was also afraid.

But she had no choice.

In that chaotic era, human rights were like animals and had no dignity.

What's more, a woman who can't even devote her first night to the man she loves but wants to be undressed by a monk.

She was afraid, afraid of being a useless person who would die like her father.

She was afraid that one day, like other rebel thugs, she would be sentenced to death and suffer the most painful suffering in the world.

But when she was in a state of trembling and fear, God took care of her.

During this critical time, she met the most important partner in her life.

Zhu Yuanzhang.

With the help of her father, this not-so-good-looking but absolutely kind-hearted girl married Zhu Chongba, a beggar monk who had just returned to secular life.

From the moment she got married, she followed this brave man with all her heart.

When you are born, I will live, and when you die, I will be buried with you.

She used her kindness and loyalty to swear her undying loyalty to her husband.

While her father and brother were imprisoning her husband, she showed her courage and strength as a wife.

If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog.

From the moment I visited the church, I was destined to follow his great sentiments throughout my life.

She tried her best, even if she was burned or insulted, she still kept going without any regrets.

Her actions not only moved everyone, but also moved Zhu Yuanzhang who was in trouble.

When he was in the most critical moment, when everyone was about to abandon him, and when his father-in-law and brother-in-law joined hands to kill him, it was this woman who stood up and gave him warmth.

In prison, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at this woman who looked much better than himself. This woman who never abandoned him in times of adversity gave him enough warmth and made him realize what it means to be a perfect person in the cold world.

feelings.

This feeling was only given to him by his parents when he was young.

After his parents died suddenly, his cold heart began to become numb.

All sense of touch was lost in numbness.

But at this moment, he felt the warmth of love again.

At this moment, he made up his mind.

When I am successful and famous, I will talk to you about Sangma.

Allow me to rule the world and make you our home all over the world.

For this goal, he decided to let this woman take a risk for him.

He wanted to rely on her in exchange for freedom and a future, so he taught her the method.

bribery.

The target is his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
