After Chongzhen's death, the body was full of rotting, and the only person who helped the corpse cry bitterly, Li Zicheng: Thick burial Chongzhen!
Someone analyzed the reasons for the chongzhen emperor's failure, and one of them said that he was a diligent emperor, but not a qualified emperor. The Chongzhen Emperor was only 17 years old when he ascended the throne, and there were external and internal troubles in the government at that time, which made Chongzhen work hard and diligently reign for 17 years. As the saying goes, when you put your heart and soul into an object, you are a treasure. Therefore, when the country that the Chongzhen Emperor swore to defend to the death was broken, he fell into despair and chose to live with the country and hanged himself.
When Li Zicheng ascended the throne, he began to burn and loot the people of Beijing, and did not establish an effective rule, which was one of the reasons for the failure of the Shun Dynasty.
During this period, however, he paid great respect to the defeated Chongzhen Emperor. At that time, the Officials and people of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to go near the corpse of the Chongzhen Emperor, and these literati and doctors who usually talked about their hearts and benevolence and morality did not show any expression of their loyalty to the emperor, for fear that any action they made to Chongzhen at this time would create a disaster of death. However, Li Zicheng was very tolerant of Chongzhen, not only calling it "Junfei is not very dark", but also saying that the fall of the Ming Dynasty was the fault of these literati doctors. Among these literati doctors, there is one exception, that is, Li Guozhen.
Li Guozhen was loyal and loyal, and after being a courtier, he was originally one of the chongzhen emperors to guard the city of Beijing, but he did not expect that the city of Beijing was opened by internal traitors, and Li Guozhen was powerless to resist and could only surrender.
After Li Zicheng destroyed the city, he went to look for Chongzhen at the first time, but only saw Chongzhen's body. The emperor was once high above the heavens and served by thousands of people, but now his body is exposed to the sun. When no one wanted to go near Chongzhen's corpse, only Li Guozhen knelt next to the corpse and wept bitterly. Seeing this scene, Li Zicheng's mood was extremely complicated, and he respectfully supported Li Guozhen with both hands, and coldly looked at the so-called ministers who were indifferent to the surroundings.
Although Chongzhen left a last word saying that he was willing to exchange his body for the peace of the people. However, Li Zicheng did not abuse Chongzhen's corpse as people imagined, but buried him according to the rite of the Son of Heaven, mourned for him, personally carried out the altar to honor the Chongzhen Emperor with royal rites, wept in front of his coffin, and worshiped him four times. As for Li Guozhen, who was favored by Li Zicheng at that time, he was not reused, and because he did not pay enough bribes to Li Zicheng's officials, he could not bear the humiliation and hanged himself.
Li Zicheng did not reign for long, and after only one year, the Shun Dynasty he established collapsed. As for the cause of his death, it is not yet unknown, some people say that he was defeated and went into hiding, some people say that he died in battle or hanged himself, and some people say that he was killed by the people, but how the truth of it remains to be examined.
