Tell the truest history in the simplest words.
Nurhaci can be called a generation of natural pride. From the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty, he began with 13 deputy divisions of the Ming Dynasty, took Tulum and Beng Nikan Wailan, defeated the nine allied forces, and unified the Jurchen tribe of Jianzhou within 10 years. Then, he destroyed Hada, and Huifa, the dead Ula, the lower Yehe, and the East Sea Jurchen. After more than 30 years, Nurhaci finally unified jianzhou, Haixi Jurchen and most of the savage Jurchen tribes.

On Yanglu Mountain, an eastern suburb of Liaoyang, there is a royal cemetery with green bricks and tiles. Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, because Nurhaci built the capital of Tokyo (the ancient name of Liaoyang), he once moved his ancestors here, so he was enfeoffed as a Tokyo Mausoleum. There are four tombs in the Tokyo Mausoleum, including Nurhaci's brother Shulhaqi, his eldest son Chu Ying, his mother's brother Mulhazi and his son Darcha, among which Chu Ying's tomb is known locally as the "Tomb of the Prince."
However, Chu Ying's tomb is far less than half the scenery of the royal mausoleum, not only is the area smaller than half of the Shulhaqi mausoleum, but the tomb is lonely and lonely, and there is not even a stone stele. Why would a prince end up like this after his death?
Chu Ying stills
Ai Xin Jue Luo Chu Ying, also known as Ai Xin Jue Luo Chu Yan, was the eldest son of The Qing Taizu Nur Hachi, born in 1580 in Houshan, the village of Wanghu in present-day Xinbin County. Chu Ying's mother is Tong Jia's Hahana Zaqing, this woman is Nurhaci's hair-tie wife, so Chu Ying is a veritable eldest son of a concubine.
In the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty, (1583), Nurhaci began his half-lifelong war to unify the Jurchens, this year Chu Ying had just turned 3 years old, nurhaci at the beginning of the army, often faced confrontation and assassination of some ethnic groups, Nurhaci's family was naturally also among the assassinations.
When the Assassins attacked, Nurhaci hid his sons Chu Ying, Dai Shan and daughter Dong Guo under the wooden wardrobe. Chu Ying grew up in the situation of fighting and fighting, sword and light sword shadow, and danger from childhood, and the bloody rain and wind created his bravery and fierceness in character, harsh life tempering and his father's careful discipline, which made him quickly grow into a heroic and fierce brave teenager.
In the thirty-ninth year of the Wanli Calendar (1611), Nurhaci was already 53 years old. (At that time, the average life expectancy was not high, 50 years old was already considered an advanced age) Nurhaci knew that he did not have much time, so he had to make arrangements for his own posthumous affairs. After much deliberation, he formally made Chu Ying crown prince in June of the 40th year of the Wanli Calendar (1612) and appointed him to take charge of state affairs.
Chu Ying began to lead the army to fight at the age of 18, and at the age of 22, he took charge of the white flag and participated in the discussion of politics. At the age of 34, he was designated as the crown prince, and he was the heir cultivated by Nurhaci himself.
However, in fact, whether it is seniority or prestige, Chu Ying is far less supreme than his father. Coupled with his youthful arrogance, short-sightedness, narrow-mindedness, years of military conquest, and no real political training, in the power struggle and confrontation, he did not know how to taoguang and obscure, so he did a lot of stupid things.
First of all, at this time, Chu Ying was already in a position above ten thousand people under one person, and he only needed to quietly take charge of state affairs and wait for Nurhaci's return. However, he exerted his "childishness" to the extreme, and he was jealous of Nurhaci's "love like a heart", the four great baylors who regarded them as pearls in the palm of his hand, and the five ministers who "trusted and nurtured and shared happiness and hardships", thinking that while Nurhaci was still alive, he would gradually cut the power of the four great baylors and the five ministers, which would be used to consolidate his position as crown prince and pave the way for his smooth ascension to the throne.
We have to be sure that Chu Ying's sense of distress is good, but he did not consider the feelings of the four baylors and the five ministers, on the one hand, he followed Nurhaci for many years and made great achievements; on the other hand, he wanted to deprive him of the power exchanged with blood. Chu Ying's practice will naturally make the four baylors and five ministers all endanger themselves, and then the two major groups will warm up, so that Chu Ying will be operated by himself to an isolated position.

Secondly, the above is only the starting point of Chu Ying's stupidity. The stupidest thing about him is not knowing his stupidity. Instead of examining and introspecting on his own situation, Chu Ying, in his capacity as the Son of Heaven, in order to establish his authority, went so far as to order Zhu Belle and his ministers to swear an oath to heaven and be loyal to himself.
This practice was so naïve that the four great belles and the five ministers did not buy his account, and wrote complaints one after another, accusing Chu Ying of lacking the sense of governing the country and alienating the relationship between the five ministers; and forcing his brothers to swear at night and be loyal to their fathers behind their backs; in addition, they also threatened that if Bei Zimen did not obey him, he would cut off their support after his father's death, and after he took the throne, if his brothers and ministers opposed him, he would kill each other.
When Nurhaci received these complaints, his heart was very heavy. He took the documents of the complaint and said to Chu Ying: "Son, this is the document that your four younger brothers and five ministers denounced you, you should first look at it, if there is any inconclusiveness, you can argue on the basis of reason." This was actually an opportunity for Nurhaci to give Chu Ying, and if he examined himself, repented bitterly, made things clear, and admitted that his narrow selfishness had brought harm to his brother and ministers, he might get Nurhaci's forgiveness and support as always.
But he seemed to have watched too much of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and misunderstood Nurhaci's meaning. After all, Nurhaci was not Cao Cao, and Chu Ying himself was not Cao Pi, and he insisted on his own opinions and said that he had nothing to say about it. Chu Ying's attitude angered Nurhaci, who had been worried that Chu Ying was "from a young age and had no magnanimous and compassionate heart", but now he did not want to repent and insisted on doing his own thing, so he ordered his power to be stripped away.
At this point, Chu Ying only took three months from being made crown prince to losing all power.
Nurhaci was furious and imprisoned Chu Ying. In fact, Chu Ying still had the opportunity to overturn, but unfortunately, after being imprisoned for two years, in 1615, Nurhaci established the country as a khan, in order to consolidate the unity of the dynasty's monarchs, Chu Ying was ordered to be executed by Nurhaci in the name of unrepentant, only 36 years old.
