When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Li Zicheng was in Beijing, he called his harem concubines and his only two daughters, Princess Kunxing and Princess Akihito, to his side and asked his wife to commit suicide. After the concubines committed suicide, Princess Zhaoren and Princess Kunxing, daughters of Emperor Chongzhen, wept bitterly in front of their father. Emperor Chongzhen covered his face with his left hand and hacked Princess Zhaoren to death with his right hand, while Princess Kunxing, the daughter of Emperor Chongzhen, cried.
I won't mention the dead. The surviving princess Kunxing's maiden name is Zhu, the second daughter of Emperor Chongzhen, and her mother is the empress of Zhou Dynasty. After Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, Princess Kun Xing went into exile. Later, after the Qing government won the world, it found her and took her to the palace, and the title was changed to Princess Changping. In the second year of the emperor, Princess Changping wrote to the emperor that he wanted to become a monk, but the emperor refused. In order to win the hearts of the people, the Qing emperor married Princess Changping to Chongzhen before he died. Because the princess is not a man, no one will make her emperor, which will not pose a great threat to the Qing court, so the Qing government rewarded her. However, Princess Changping suffered great trauma both physically and mentally. She died more than a year after her marriage. She was five months pregnant when she died, and she was only seventeen years old. Later, this unfortunate princess Changping was reflected in many literary works, such as Duke of Lushan and Sword with Royal Blood.
Comparison between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Youjian
Zhu Youjian was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the king of national subjugation. Zhu Yuanzhang was born a commoner, homeless in his early years, hungry and cold. To survive, Zhu Yuanzhang even became a monk. It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is an emperor who knows the sufferings of the people very well, and he is a person who stepped onto the throne step by step from the bottom of society. Zhu Youjian, who was born in the royal family, never suffered as much as Zhu Yuanzhang in his life. Zhu Yuanzhang in Zhu Youjian has similarities and many differences.

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yuanzhang are similar in that they are both emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Although one was a brilliant founding emperor and the other was a king who failed to return to heaven, both of them were emperors who made a difference. Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youjian hoped to change its decline. Both of them want to do something, and both of them actively put it into action. At this point, they are the same.
Zhu Yuanzhang has more differences than similarities. First of all, two people have different experiences. Because of their different personal experiences, they have different understandings of life and human nature. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in poverty, went through hardships to save his life. It can be said that he was once the lowest person in life, and he experienced turbulent society, war, battlefield and bumpy road in the process of establishing the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youjian, who grew up in the royal family, may have seen intrigue between people, but his personal experience is no match for Zhu Yuanzhang. Because of their different personal experiences, their thoughts and abilities are also different. Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as a very talented person, but he is a little reluctant to use this word to describe Zhu Youjian.
The final outcome of the two people is also different. Zhu Yuanzhang was 7 1 year old when he died, while Zhu Youjian, the king of national subjugation, was only 34 years old when he hanged Jingshan Park.
Reveal the reasons for the failure of Emperor Chongzhen.
Although Emperor Chongzhen was a promising young emperor, he eventually became the king of national subjugation at the age of 33. Many people have been studying why Emperor Chongzhen failed. Obviously, there are various reasons. According to what Emperor Chongzhen said before hanging himself, it can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen mainly blamed his failure on his courtiers. In fact, without the wrong decision of the rulers, the courtiers are still unable to influence the future and destiny of the country. In fact, long before Chongzhen ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil, with long-standing disadvantages, and the final failure was inevitable.

Why did Emperor Chongzhen fail? There have been different opinions for a long time, but whatever the reason, it is an objective reflection of Chongzhen's failure. At the same time, it can be seen that the failure of Emperor Chongzhen is no longer accidental. At present, there are two main reasons why Emperor Chongzhen failed. First, when Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, Daming Jiangshan was already invisible, and was doomed to national subjugation as early as the death of Emperor Wanli. However, Emperor Chongzhen survived a series of practices. Second, he thinks that Emperor Chongzhen is not good at employing people. Even if he works hard, he doesn't have enough outstanding political talent. He only knew that he was an armchair strategist and was doomed to failure in the end. Emperor Chongzhen eradicated eunuchs in his early years, but later began to reuse another group of eunuchs, which made the Ming Dynasty more unstable.
The failure of Emperor Chongzhen is not only related to Emperor Chongzhen himself, but also related to his courtiers. Emperor Wanli began to squander the Ming Dynasty, and later emperors continued the style of Emperor Wanli, while Emperor Chongzhen wanted to revive Daming, but he lacked enough talents, so he finally failed.
