The Ming Dynasty was once the world that Zhu Yuanzhang fought hard, how much suffering he suffered, how many sins he collected, so that his future generations had such glory and wealth, but posterity did not know how to cherish, and even did not work hard to govern the country, which allowed people with hearts to exploit loopholes and seize the opportunity to seize the world. Many people say that Chongzhen is a good emperor, during his reign, he worked hard, but the inheritance left by the ancestors has been left, and coupled with the disaster, it really makes him helpless, which led to the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
It should be said that the Ming Dynasty really had a strange emperor, Emperor Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun, who reigned for 48 years, and even for more than 20 years, he did not go to the dynasty and did not handle political affairs, and because of his fatigue of government affairs, he did not pay much attention to the affairs of the country. He did make some economic reforms, and also made great progress in the economic aspect, but within a few years, he was desolate and political affairs, and the operation of the country was stagnant. Is there a harbinger of the ming dynasty's disappearance? The Chongzhen Emperor had dreamed of being said auspicious by his ministers, but he did not approve of it.
Even in the late period, the phenomenon of party strife in the imperial court, and it continued, coupled with the wide collection of mining taxes, which led to the decline of the Ming Dynasty, at that time, the Ming Dynasty had gradually declined. After Emperor Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, he was diligent in the government, actively appointed and reformed the sages, and solved the problems left by the previous emperors one by one, but unfortunately, he was also addicted to wine in the later period, making his body weaker and weaker, and finally died of illness.
After the Chongzhen Emperor took the throne, on the surface everything seemed to be calm and quiet, but in fact, behind it was already turbulent, the people had already complained about this kind of rule, while the Qing army and Li Zicheng on the other side were looking at the tiger, coupled with long-term and frequent disasters, so that the Chongzhen Emperor had the heart and was powerless to save this mess, the situation had been formed, the gods and immortals had no way, the Chongzhen Emperor was powerless to return to heaven, just begging for the last moment, the chaotic courtiers and thieves did not hurt the people.
In fact, before the Ming Dynasty disappeared, there were already omens, the Chongzhen Emperor had several dreams in succession, all of which were gods with the word "yes" written on his palms, and the confused Chongzhen Emperor summoned his ministers to ask about the meaning of this dream, and many ministers said that this dream represented that the Ming Dynasty would prosper and that anything would happen! On the other hand, Wang Cheng'en kept shaking his head, and when the Chongzhen Emperor saw and asked him why he shook his head, Wang Cheng'en said that this dream was a ominous omen for the Ming Dynasty.
Yes: The upper side was originally a big word, but it was missing a na, and the bottom was a ming character but missing a Japanese word, which means that Daming has been reduced by half. But the Chongzhen Emperor at that time still did not believe it, he thought that Providence did not mean this, who knew that in less than a few years, the Ming Dynasty was really gone. In the end, all the ministers and even the favors, the escapes, the surrenders, only Wang Cheng'en, who had been outspoken, had been following him.
The Chongzhen Emperor hanged himself on the coal mountain, and Wang Cheng'en followed suit. It can be seen that Wang Cheng'en's loyalty is not ordinary, others dare not offend the Chongzhen Emperor, only he dares to say anything, dare to do anything, just for one word: loyalty!
