Reading history makes people understand, and even more can make people appreciate the heavy precipitation of history, the ruthlessness of history and the pity of human feelings, the vicissitudes of the world and the tragic tragedy of human nature in the sigh of reminiscing about the past and the present!
Reading history makes people understand
Let's first appreciate the sad elegy of Chongzhen, the sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
In the first month of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng conquered Xiangyang, Jingzhou, De'an, and Chengtian.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), on March 17, the peasant rebel army besieged the capital.
The Chongzhen Emperor killed his daughter
On the evening of the eighteenth day, Li Zicheng's army invaded Beijing. Zhu Yu ordered the inspectors to send the crown prince, the Yong King, and the Ding King to the xunqi Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu families. After returning to the palace, he wrote an edict and ordered Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, to command the armies and assist the crown prince Zhu Cixi. He also ordered Empress Zhou, Yuan Guifei, and 3 sons to enter the palace, briefly instructed the sons to say a few words, and ordered the eunuchs to send them to the homes of foreign relatives to hide.
Zhu Youjian admonished Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan to hang themselves. Several concubines were hacked to death, and ordered left and right to urge Empress An Zhang to commit suicide. Empress Yi'an Zhang paid several homages to Zhu Youjian and hanged herself. Zhu Youjian then slashed Princess Changping's left arm with his sword and killed Princess Zhaoren at The Shōjin Temple
The Chongzhen Emperor hanged himself
In the early morning of the 19th, Li Zicheng's rebel army entered the city of Beijing from The Zhangyi Gate. When it was getting dark, Zhu Youjian hanged himself on the crooked neck tree in Jingshan Mountain at the age of 33.
If it is said that the Chongzhen Emperor, as the king of a country, lost his ancestral inheritance and died in the community, he was really ashamed of the ancestors, the faceless and the Nine Springs, and it is understandable that he had such a decisive move. After all, the Chongzhen Emperor also let the crown prince and the second king go away, and there was still a trace of unbroken paternal pity. Then Liu Chen, the fifth son of Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, was more loyal and courageous, and his iron blood was ruthless.
The 118th time in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the first king of the Weeping Ancestral Temple died filial piety, and entered the Nishikawa Ershi to fight for merit.
...... However, he said that the Lord was in Chengdu, and was about to surrender from Zhou Zhou's words; a man turned out from behind the screen and scolded Zhou Yue in a loud voice: "If you secretly give birth to corrupt Confucianism, how can you vainly discuss the important affairs of the society!" Since ancient times, there has been a descendant of heavenly sons! "Later, the lord regarded it as liu chenye, the fifth son of the king of the northern lands. He had seven sons: the eldest son, Liu Xuan, the second son, Liu Yao, the third son, Liu Xuan, the fourth son, Liu Zhen, the fifth son, Liu Chen, the King of the Northern Lands, the sixth son, Liu Ke, and the seventh son, Liu Xuan. Among the seven sons, Chen Chen was intelligent and wise since childhood, and yu was all good.
...... Chen prostrated his head and cried, "If the situation is extremely weak and the disaster is about to be lost, then the father and the son and the monarch will fight a battle with the city, and die together, so as to see the former emperor Keye." What a drop! "The Lord does not listen. Chen let out a loud cry: "The first emperor was not easy to establish a foundation, and once it is abandoned now, I would rather die than be humiliated!" ”
On the first day of December, the monarch surrendered. Liu Chen, the king of the Northern Lands, was furious and brought his sword into the palace. ...... His wife Lady Cui touched the pillar and died. Chen Nai committed suicide against his third son, cut off his wife's head, and brought it to the Zhaolie Temple, crying on the ground: "The subject is ashamed to see that Jiye has abandoned others, so he first kills his wife, in order to never worry about it, and then repays his ancestors with his life!" If the ancestor has a spirit, he knows the heart of the grandson! "Crying, bleeding from his eyes, he killed himself. ......
Liu Zhan, the king of the Northern Lands, killed his son
How, it is indeed the emperor's grandson Guiguan who is loyal and unparalleled, and it is very human to be able to reach it. Of course, it was also determined enough to be fierce enough to personally kill his three sons, cut off his wife's head, and carry it to the Zhaolie Temple, and then kill himself to comfort his ancestors.
History may not be as gentle as we think, but there is also a dripping blood that people dare not look at directly! People often envy the imperial power and wealth, but they do not know that the disaster is the Wall, the father and son in the palace are killing each other, the mother and son are poisoned, the brothers are killing each other, and the human tragedies surrounding the imperial power are enough for you to choke and sigh.
Perhaps, as the Chongzhen Emperor said when he slashed Princess Changping with his sword, "Why did you come to the Emperor's house?"
