It is said that Zhu Shi was not only beautiful in life, but also liked to write poetry, was also very kind, and treated soldiers very well, but unfortunately there were almost no works that were passed down to later generations, only two poems before his death.

During the Jing Kang Disaster, the royal family members who were arrested by the Jin State, from the Song Qinzong song Huizong to the members of the royal family, almost no one had the courage to die, but silently endured the humiliation of the Jin State. You know, the humiliation suffered by women at that time was not something that ordinary people could endure. In that era when chastity was the first, women's chastity was more important than anything else, and the Jin people actually imprisoned women among the members of the royal family in the official brothel of the Jin Army, which made the virtuous Empress Zhu unable to accept. So Empress Zhu took advantage of the fact that everyone was not prepared, jumped into the cold lake and drowned, only twenty-seven years old.

Although Zhu Shi did not have any great political achievements in history, her virtuous character is also worthy of praise by future generations.
