I believe that people who have seen Jin Yong's huge work "Deer Ding" must have a deep memory of the "Nine Difficulties Master Tai" in it, she is the master of Wei Xiaobao's wife Ah Ke, strong in martial arts, the real identity is the daughter of the former Chongzhen Emperor, carrying a deep vengeance in the blood sea, plotting to "reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming", after the great enlightenment, she drifted away and did not know the trace!
The most amazing thing in the play is that she only has one arm but carries the world's best martial arts, ranking among the first-class masters at that time, which is enviable!
And the prototype of the "one-armed god nun" is the Ming Dynasty Princess Changping, so does the real Princess Changping also have such a unique martial art?
Let's find out
Princess Changping, named Zhu Yuanjiao, was born in 1630 as the second daughter of Emperor Mingsizong Zhu Youjian, and her biological mother was Empress Xiaojielie.
There is a little controversy here, some people say that Princess Changping's birth mother is Wang Shunfei, not Empress Xiaojielie, please note that Wang Shunfei is a character fabricated in the novel "Tianwen , Late Ming And Spring and Autumn", and there is no record in the history, so do not regard literary works as history.
Princess Changping was the favorite daughter of the Chongzhen Emperor.
However, its fate was really unfortunate, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was already at sunset, and the Chongzhen Emperor had been "conscientious" all day, but it was still difficult to prevent the Ming Dynasty from coming to an end.
Inside there was Li Zicheng, the king of the invasion, there were Qing soldiers looking at the tiger, the Ming Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, the wind and rain were fluctuating, when Princess Changping was fifteen years old, Li Zicheng attacked the capital, and before the rebel army hit the palace, the Chongzhen Emperor decided to "save" his family first!
He took his sword and entered the harem, first killing Empress Zhou and then beheading Yuan Guifei with his sword, after killing Princess Zhaoren.
Chongzhen's sword finally came to the head of Princess Changping, fiercely cut down, but only cut off the left arm, Princess Changping suddenly fell in a pool of blood, had the heart to make up a sword, but it was difficult to get off, a long sigh, Chongzhen Emperor turned away, and then hanged himself in the coal mountain.
Princess Changping of "Lucky Escape"
After Li Zicheng invaded the palace, he found that the fainting Princess Changping still had breath, so he took it away, and five days later, Princess Changping woke up, although she did not worry about her life, she lost her left arm forever.
Li Zicheng remembered her as a female streamer, and did not kill her completely, but only put her under house arrest.
In 1644, Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, Li Zicheng only served as emperor for more than eighty days and fled in a hurry, and after the Qing soldiers entered the Forbidden City, they found Princess Changping under house arrest and released her.
At that time, the Chongzhen Emperor still had a prince fleeing, in order to kill her all, Dorgon deliberately released the news that Princess Changping was still in the human world, and lured the prince to look for it, and sure enough, there was a plan for the crown prince, who came to defect to Princess Changping and was executed by Dorgon.
Witnessing her brother die in front of her, Princess Changping was full of ashes and saw through the red dust, according to the "Qing History Draft": In the second year of Qing Shunzhi, Princess Changping wrote to The Shunzhi Emperor to ask for renunciation, but did not get the Shunzhi Emperor's permission!
Princess Changping, who has become a "tool"
The reason why the Qing court did not kill Princess Changping and did not let her go out of the family was to extract her "surplus value", when the Ming Dynasty had just fallen, and the Qing Dynasty came from outside the Guan, although it was difficult to win the hearts of the people by establishing a dynasty by force, and the identity of Princess Changping just gave the Qing court the opportunity to "win people's hearts".
Princess Changping is the body of a daughter, so naturally there is no need to worry about the Ming Dynasty ministers having the heart to support her, and as long as she is rewarded, she can let the Han people in the world see the "benevolent heart" of the Qing Dynasty.
For this reason, the Shunzhi Emperor personally ordered that the Ming Dynasty governor Zhou Xian be brought back to marry Princess Changping, and Zhou Xian was a horse personally selected by the Chongzhen Emperor for his daughter, but at that time, the princess was young and did not complete the marriage, who expected to become a means for the Shunzhi Emperor to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Three years later, the Qing army attacked Nanjing, the southern Ming Hongguang small court was destroyed, all the clans were executed, hearing this bad news, Princess Changping was grief-stricken, fell ill, and soon died, only eighteen years old at the time of death, and there was still a five-month-old fetus in her belly!
After the death of Princess Changping, the Qing court held a grand funeral for her, the purpose of which was to win over the old courtiers and show their "benevolent heart".
brief summary:
The image created by Princess Changping in novels such as "Deer Ding" is made up by posterity, the real Princess Changping only lived for eighteen years, and her short life has experienced ups and downs, hardships and pains!
When he was young, he suddenly encountered great changes, was cut off by his own father,his left arm, and after he luckily escaped, he became a tool of the Qing court, and even the funeral after death was used by the Qing court to win people's hearts, which was really a completely tragic figure!
So did the Chongzhen Emperor not love his daughter, no, he loved too much, according to the "History of Ming", the Chongzhen Emperor once sighed to Princess Changping, "Ru Why did he give birth to my family"!
This sentence contains a lot of heartache and helplessness, he loves his daughter very much, but he knows better what will happen to her daughter if she falls into the hands of the enemy, in order to preserve her dignity, he would rather take matters into his own hands and "save" her.
This is really a pity for the hearts of parents in the world!
