Lead
It is said that it is very difficult to be a founding emperor, and what is needed to lay a piece of the country is a lot of factors, not only the time and place, but also the cooperation of the people around you, so every founding monarch has become the object of everyone's praise. But sometimes there are many reasons for the fall of the country, not only the simple reason for the emperor to faint, but also the fate of some fallen monarchs is very emotional and lamentable. For example, chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was an emperor full of tragic colors, so why did a good and diligent emperor become the king of the demise of a country?
First, childhood is not happy, laying a sad background for a lifetime
Although he was a royal child, Chongzhen was not a favored prince when he was young. Everyone knows that the only rule of survival in the harem is to get the emperor's favor, all concubines are hoping to get more favor from the emperor, only the emperor can get more favors if the emperor looks at it more. The rise in the status of the harem can make all the slaves look up to them, and at the same time, their lives are very comfortable, but also for their children to seek a good way out. All the harem concubines understood what it meant to be a mother and a son, and they all knew that the honor and disgrace of their children were tied together at birth, so each concubine tried to climb up in order to win a good name for their own prince.
However, Zhu Youjian's mother was not a favored concubine, so she brought such a non-concubine and non-eldest son prince with her mother, who was not a concubine, and did not attract too much attention at all, and he spent his childhood in a state of unpretentation. Later, the death of his mother made his life even more difficult, a child without a mother would always be treated in the cold by others, and the emperor could not even remember that he had such a son. Therefore, without maternal love, Zhu Youjian did not have a happy childhood, and he was very sensitive and vulnerable, who had always been ignored by others. Although there will be too much worry in life, and it is also enjoying the status and treatment that ordinary people cannot enjoy, it has to be said that this child's childhood has been unhappy.
Second, the yin and yang mistakenly became the heir to the throne
Everyone knows that if you want to become an emperor, you first want to become a prince, and then step by step to the road of succession, but Chongzhen, who should not have inherited the throne, became the heir to the throne under the arrangement of fate, which made the sensitive him very afraid. Because he never thought that he would one day become the supreme ruler of the whole country, and never thought that he would become the holder of the highest power, since he became emperor, he was very afraid that he would not be able to adapt well to this work, and finally began his period as emperor with trepidation.
Third, govern the country diligently, for fear of making mistakes
As an emperor, he should have the arrogance and domineering spirit of dominating others, but Zhu Youjian, who had not been that kind of personality since childhood, was actually very worried when he first became an emperor. Therefore, he had to use his diligence and continuous efforts to make up for it, and try to do his duty as a mingjun, but the general trend of the world at that time was very bad. Therefore, the problems in many places made him very distressed, and finally he also tried to hold on, wanting to save the situation at that time, afraid that he had something he did not do well, even if he was sick, he did not dare to delay the government, because he could not get up from a serious illness, so he did not go to the court on leave, and he did not expect to be reprimanded by the minister. Very frightened, he quickly got up and issued a self-edict to confess his sins to all the people of the world, such a good emperor is actually very rare.
Fourth, a good emperor who worked hard to govern was not in good luck at that time
At that time, the Chongzhen Emperor, who was very diligent in government affairs, basically did not have time to rest, and many ministers saw the appearance of such a Ming Emperor and were very pleased that the entire Ming Dynasty might be able to be reversed in the hands of this emperor. Just when everyone was full of expectations, I didn't expect that God would not give him the opportunity to change his fate against the sky. At that time, disasters were rampant, the people were living in great hardship, and floods were raging in many places.
Under this blow, the people lost their homes at the same time, but also lost a lot of fresh lives. In some places, successive years of drought have also caused many people to suffer. Do you think this is the highest level of calamity? But I did not expect the most serious locust plague to appear, as long as there are locusts where there are locusts, all the crops are destroyed, the people rely on these grains to survive, but at this time the only means of survival has disappeared, and even to grab food with these locusts, many people have no food, and a large number of victims have starved to death.
In such a situation, naturally many peasants were dissatisfied with the imperial court and government at that time and began an uprising. In this way, all kinds of bandit rebel armies began to emerge continuously, and riots in various places also continued to come, and Zhu Youjian, who was already very angry, did not even know how to deal with the current situation for a while, and he was also very sad to see the people suffering. However, in the face of these natural and man-made disasters, he did not have a very good way, so he had to do everything as far as possible, but no matter how hard he tried, he did not have the ability to return to heaven.
Fifth, forced to abandon the country and commit suicide in the coal mountains
At that time, he knew that the number of Qi in Jiangshan had come to an end, and Chongzhen was under a lot of psychological pressure in his heart, because he had always wanted to keep the century-old foundation of his old Zhu family, but he did not expect that in the end, the country would be destroyed in his hands. Such a crime left him without any face to face his ancestors, so when the rebels attacked, all the ministers fled. There was only one old eunuch left beside him who had been serving him, and he also understood his fate, and finally came to the coal mountain of the harem, covered his face and stepped on the eunuch's shoulder, choosing to end himself on a crooked neck tree, and also to save his last bit of face.
epilogue
In fact, throughout the life of the Chongzhen Emperor, he was unhappy, and he could have been born in an imperial family, which was enviable in the eyes of everyone. But since he was a child, he did not get any father's love, he had some lack of emotion in this regard, and then inexplicably became the emperor unexpectedly, nor was it the life he fought for and chose, so he said that he was pushed by fate all his life, in fact, he did not have the right to make a choice, so he spent his sad life in such a muddy way.
