Chapter 346 2 Multiple Adoptive Sons
When Empress Xu heard that the immortal was talking about her mother, she was obviously more excited than Empress Ma herself.
Empress Changsun also looked at the gentle Empress Ma and smiled at her.
Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, was so excited in front of the sky curtain, especially the old Emperor Taizu, who even shed tears.
The ministers were also crying, and it was unclear whether they were crying for themselves or for Queen Ma. They missed the Queen so much.
I don't want to go to court for even a single day without the queen. Life is unbearable.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was also very excited because he saw his mother again.

"Speaking of you, Queen Ma, you are known as the most virtuous queen in history. For more than 600 years, people have not found any stain on you in history.
Even if they want to discredit you or slander you, it is absolutely impossible to find them.
The only stain on you is that those corrupt scholars in the Qing Dynasty laughed at your big, unbound feet and jokingly called you Ma Da Jiao. It was really disgusting.
"They couldn't find anything to discredit you, so they just used this to make a fuss," Li Wu shook his head. Those corrupt scholars had really taken a lot of trouble to discredit Empress Ma, but they only found this little bit.
After hearing this, Empress Ma could not help laughing. She indeed did not bind her feet because she was afraid of the pain. Besides, she was an adopted daughter, so her adoptive father did not require her to bind her feet.
Empress Ma was not angry, but Empress Xu beside her was very angry.
"Mother, the people of the Qing Dynasty were really worthless. What's wrong with not binding feet? It's better not to bind feet. Foot binding has been abolished now. Foot binding is harmful to women's health and is a bad custom," Empress Xu said indignantly.
During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, “This damn Qing Dynasty dares to laugh at a girl,” Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table hard with murderous intent in his eyes.
The ministers were also very angry. Their queen didn't want to bind her feet if she wanted to. Who the hell were those Tartars? How could they have the right to comment on their queen?
Several generals volunteered to go to the battlefield to destroy the damn Qing people.
Just wipe out all their ancestors.
During the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di wanted to lead the army in person. Anyone who dared to slander his mother was seeking death, so he would destroy them all.
Zhu Di was now very powerful. He had food and silver, and he had no worries at all.
Since those days came to an end, there has been so much silver that it can never be mined out.
Others were curious about what Queen Ma had done to deserve being called the most virtuous queen in history, without even a single stain on her.
Not binding feet is a stain at all.
None of them had bound feet. Empress Ma was great.

“In the past, the phoenix coronet and bridal robe were only worn by the empress, the crown princess, and the ladies of the imperial court. In short, only people of noble status could wear them. Ordinary people were not allowed to wear them,” when Li Wu said this, many people in front of the sky curtain nodded, as if it was natural.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a mess if everyone could wear it?
"Empress Ma, you have issued an imperial decree that all women in the world, regardless of their status, can wear a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe when they get married.
Who doesn't want to dress beautifully when getting married?" Li Wu said with a smile. Besides, that is the phoenix crown and bridal robe, which only noble people could wear in ancient times. How could other women not envy them? They also want to wear it.
"What the little immortal said is true," Queen Ma smiled gently and nodded.
The way Empress Changsun looked at Empress Ma was also different.
"Empress Ma, your ancestors were once wealthy people in Suzhou, Guide Prefecture. Your father, Mr. Ma, lived in Xinfengli. Because he loved charity, his family gradually became poorer.
Your mother, Empress Ma, Zheng Ai, passed away shortly after giving birth to you.
Your father Ma Gong has no sons, and you are his only jewel in the palm of his hand, so you have been spoiled since childhood.
Queen Ma, you have been smart and clever since childhood, and you can write poetry and paint.
Later, your father, Empress Ma, fled to another place to avoid revenge for murder, so he entrusted you, Empress Ma, to his good friend Guo Zixing.
Guo Zixing felt sorry for you, Queen Ma, and adopted you as his daughter.
Guo Zixing and his wife Zhang were very kind to you. One taught you cultural knowledge, and the other taught you knitting and embroidery.
Queen Ma, this is a blessing in disguise for you, you now have a good place to go," Li Wu said. Fortunately, Guo Zixing treated Queen Ma well.
Otherwise, life living under someone else's roof would not be easy.
Although her master was kind, Empress Ma did not become arrogant because of her favor.
"My adoptive father and mother were very good to me," he said, also missing his adoptive father Guo Zixing and his adoptive mother Empress Zhang Ma very much.
Guo Zixing, who was standing in front of the sky curtain, was quite happy to see his adopted daughter become the queen. Now, he had become Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinate.
After knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor who destroyed the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty, many people joined his team.
Fortunately, he betrothed his adopted daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang, who later became emperor. I think his future life would not be too bad.
Now he should take a good look at this adopted daughter. After all, she was raised with sincerity and is loved quite a bit.
"You, the teenage Queen Ma, are extremely smart and will understand everything immediately once I give you instructions.
Therefore, Guo Zixing and his wife love you, Queen Ma, very much, and have always wanted to find a good husband for you so that you can have someone to rely on for the rest of your life.
It was the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the political situation was corrupt, and the people were in dire straits.
From 1344 AD, that is, from the fourth year to the eleventh year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, a full seven years, there were constant natural disasters and man-made disasters.
River disasters lasted for six years, and there was a severe drought in Henan and the Jianghuai area, which caused many people to starve to death.
The people finally couldn't stand the Yuan court's inaction.
A large-scale Red Turban uprising finally broke out in the Yangtze and Huaihe River basins.
As an outbreak occurred in one place, other regions also responded and wanted to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty.
In the 12th year of Zhizheng, Guo Zixing also raised an army in Dingyuan to respond and became the leader of the local White Lotus Sect.
In the same year, he led the rebel army to capture Haozhou and proclaimed himself marshal.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang, at this time not yet called Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Chongba, joined Guo Zixing's camp and became Guo Zixing's confidant.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was a talented man, Guo Zixing betrothed Empress Ma to him.
After Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang got married, she followed Zhu Yuanzhang in various campaigns and assisted him carefully.
He also adopted Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzhen, his nephew Li Wenzhong, and the Dingyuan orphan Mu Ying.
Queen Ma, you treated these three adopted sons as your own and took good care of them.
Later, more than 20 adopted sons were adopted. Empress Ma, how did you and Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty adopt so many children? "Others only adopted one or two.
The two of them were better off and directly adopted more than 20 people.
"In this chaotic world, if you can save anyone, save them all," Empress Ma said gently, "They are all pitiful people."
"Mother, you are kind-hearted," said Empress Xu. It is not easy to raise so many children.
During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Our sister is kind-hearted. You must all remember her kindness," and looked at his surviving adopted sons.
"You too," Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty also looked at his sons.
