From ancient times to the present, most of the kings of the fallen country have been desolate, generally humiliated, and simply unbearable in their later years, from Li Yu's words of the fall of the country, we can feel it, so the people who have fallen into the country generally only want to die quickly, especially as the core figures of the previous generation of leadership, not to mention leaving behind future generations, so that their own bloodline, which was already considered to be the remnants of the previous dynasty at that time, was passed down. Therefore, after the Dashun rebel army attacked Beijing, the last emperor also showed the world his wind and bones as the king of a country, he never surrendered, lost the Jiangshan laid down by his ancestors, he did not have the face to see the ancestors, although there were still a large area of the southern region in the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence at that time, but the Chongzhen Emperor accepted the lesson of the Song clan moving south, never moved south, he resolutely walked on the coal mountain, hanging himself, showing his last stubbornness as an emperor. Compared with the shameful literati of the late Ming Dynasty whose words were better than their deeds, the integrity of the Chongzhen Emperor was very noble.
And before the Chongzhen Emperor went to coal mountain, he first gathered the concubines of his harem, in order to prevent them from being humiliated by others after his death, causing the second shame of Jingkang, so he executed his empress, the Zhou clan, and then killed his own daughter, and the wild history records that at that time, the Chongzhen Emperor also had a young daughter, Ah Jiu, although the emperor was cruel, but in the face of a young daughter who could just walk, he was still soft-hearted, only broke her arm, and let the heavens decide her life and death.
However, in the history of zhengshi, it is said that all the daughters of the Chongzhen Emperor were killed by him, leaving no living mouth, and indeed it was the most ruthless imperial family. However, the Chongzhen Emperor also sowed sparks on the Daming Jiangshan, and his three sons escaped from beijing under his exquisite design, led by his confidant eunuchs, leaving hope for the Ming Empire to recover. However, the three princes were the flowers in the greenhouse, never had contact with the outside world, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who knew whether they really escaped.
To this day, whether the three princes died in the chaotic city of Beijing or escaped is still disputed among historians, some people say that Zhu Cixi was sent to his uncle's house, but his uncle personally dedicated his nephew Zhu Cixin to Dolgun to maintain his glory and wealth. But this is only a wild history, and there is no direct evidence to prove it, so how Zhu Cixin later did not know, but with such a wild history, his ending should still be relatively tragic.
The third prince Zhu Cijiong is also the most famous prince of Zhu in various novels, and it is said that he was able to save his life by his nursing mother exchanging tanuki cats for princes, which allowed him to accumulate strength to restore the Qing Dynasty. However, this Third Prince of Zhu also only heard his voice, did not see his people, and did not know which speculator used his banner to gather the remnants of the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Qing Dynasty, but it is certain that he did not live up to his father's hopes and must have done some moves to restore the country, so this Third Prince of Zhu was indeed the most famous. Today, the ancestral hall of a small mountain village in Guizhou is dedicated to Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and more than 500 villagers claim to be descendants of the imperial family, that is, the direct descendants of the Chongzhen Emperor.
Analyzing this, in fact, it goes without saying that everyone knows that excluding the prince and the three princes, there is only one Yong King left, and they are naturally the descendants of the Yong King, who has fled the old man. Moreover, the signatures on the three stone tombs in this village can also prove that what we said is not false, that is, Zhu Cihuan and his wife and "Zhao Engong". It turned out that when Li Zicheng attacked the city of Beijing, the eunuch who signed the tombstone "Zhao Engong" escorted the young Zhu Cihuan all the way south, and finally came to the village of Kuzhujuan in Guizhou, which was far away from the political center of the north at that time, and was in the mountains and isolated from the world, so he decided to keep the royal bloodline here, and he changed his surname to "Zou". The crown prince gradually grew up under his care, and then the Yong King Zhu Cihuan married and had children in the local area, and everything fell flat and multiplied. According to the local people, Zhu Cihuan once left the Shangfang Sword of the Ming Dynasty as an heirloom to his descendants, and together with it was a treasure seal in the palace, but with it, these two things were unfortunately lost after not knowing how long they were passed down, and we cannot make specific references here.
But we learned that every year during the local Qingming Festival, the zou family will gather to worship the ancestor and the "Zhao Engong", after all, without him, there would be no local Zou clan.
