Chapter 185

"As I said just now, Chongzhen's father is Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo who has been in power for less than a month. He is the prince who has experienced the struggle for the country."

"And Chongzhen's mother, Mrs. Liu, is neither a queen nor a noble concubine, but a servant who is a little bit higher than a court lady!"

"To put it bluntly, Chongzhen's mother is not favored by his father, not favored!"

"That's not all! It is said that when Chongzhen was three years old, his mother chose to serve Liu Shi and died. As for how he died, some said he died of old age, and some said he died of illness."

"Of course, some people also said that Liu was beaten to death under the order of the emperor because he offended the emperor. Anyway, it's not a good death."

"That is to say, when Chongzhen was still the prince, from the moment he could remember things, he grew up in a state of extreme loneliness without father or mother."

"Also, Chongzhen's brother, the Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao, is actually not familiar with Chongzhen. To put it simply, he has no feelings, so let alone taking care of him."

"This Zhu Youxiao is actually a very famous and unreliable emperor in history. As for why he is unreliable, I have already mentioned it just now."

"Zhu Youxiao really has no interest in government affairs at all. Instead, he has a soft spot for carpentry. He just made the emperor's career a side job."

"However, the good times didn't last long. In the sixth year of the apocalypse, that is, in 1626 AD, Zhu Youxiao died before he was 23 years old. He died as soon as he died, and he didn't leave behind a prince or anything."

"So the ministers at that time had to choose the older brother among his younger brothers to inherit the throne, so 17-year-old Zhu Youjian became Emperor Chongzhen."

"Of course, during this process, there was also a conspiracy full of deceit. It's hard to imagine that a child who grew up with loneliness, loneliness and conspiracy, that is, Chongzhen, can have a sound personality. ?”

"For a child like Chongzhen, he has not experienced pre-job training like that of a prince, that is to say, he has not received training to be a prince."

"You said that he became the emperor without any preparation, an emperor with the power of life and death in his hands, is it not difficult to understand the mistakes he made by using this? ?”

"Okay, let's stop with Zhu Youjian's story. I'm afraid that if we continue to talk about Chongzhen, you will also be affected by his character."

"So I want to tell you something else now, for example, the one I mentioned before, the third brother of Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo, King of Fortune Zhu Changxun!"

"As I said before, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun is also a participant in the national struggle. Because Wanli likes him, he wants to make him the prince, but the ministers disagree and insist on making Zhu Changluo the prince."

"In desperation, Wanli had no choice but to appoint Zhu Changluo as the prince, but! But! Although Wanli did not fulfill his wish of who to be the prince, but because he loves Zhu Changxun very much, he made Zhu Changxun the King of Fortune! The fiefdom is in Luoyang."

"It's still the same sentence, because of love, Wanli sealed him in Luoyang, because Luoyang, as the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, is very rich, and it is more than enough to support Zhu Changluo!"

"But Wanli's love for him is beyond your imagination!"

"Because Wanli failed to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince, in order to make up for his apology to Zhu Changxun, Wanli often secretly gave money to Zhu Changxun!"

"If you tell me a story, you will know that when Wanli canonized Zhu Changxun as the King of Fortune, he wanted to go to Luoyang to become a vassal, but Concubine Zheng was reluctant to part with her son, so Wanli let Zhu Changxun be 30 years old before going to Luoyang to become a vassal."

"Then Zhu Changxun went to Luoyang, because he wanted to build the palace of Fufu, so Zhu Changxun reached out to his father, saying, Dad, what kind of house should I build if I don't have money!"

"Hey, after saying that, Wanli's heart aches. It's a direct appropriation without saying a word, giving as much as you want! It doesn't feel bad!"

"You know, in the later period of Wanli, especially after the three major Wanli expeditions, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty has been vacant, and there is not much money left."

"Who knows that Zhu Changxun, the king of blessings, jumped out at this time, relying on his father to dote on him, that is completely ignorant of frugality and extravagant!"

"Let's not talk about the Jianfu Prince's Mansion. After all, it is a necessity. You can't let a prince live in the sewer?"

"Okay, next, when Zhu Changxun got married, Wanli still gave Zhu Changxun 30 taels of silver as a congratulatory gift without shaking his hands."

"You know, Zhu Changluo only spent 20 taels of silver to get married, and Zhu Changluo is still the prince. Compared with Zhu Changxun's wedding, his wedding is indeed slightly inferior."

"At the same time, it can be seen that Wanli really likes Zhu Changxun, but apart from the 30 yuan gift and the construction of the palace, there are other things!"

"For example, when Zhu Changxun was in Luoyang, Wanli gave Zhu Changxun 4 taels of travel expenses! 4 taels!"

"Also, after Zhu Changxun took over Luoyang, he said that the money was not enough, so Wanli gave him all the gold ten thousand taels and the silver 10 taels obtained by copying Zhang Juzheng's house."

"There is more in the back, it is said that Zhu Changxun thinks that the fertile land in Luoyang is not big enough, hey, this Wanli immediately allocated [-] hectares of fertile land to him."

"Later, Zhu Changxun said that he wanted Sichuan and Luoyang's salt and tea tax. Wanli didn't hesitate at all, and gave him what he wanted!"

"But it's a pity that this Zhu Changxun has received so many benefits from Wanli, and in the end there is no good end."

"However, it's worth mentioning that Zhu Changxun's fate was so great that he killed his elder brother, Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo, and his eldest son Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao."

"Zhu Changxun lived until the 15th year of Chongzhen, that is, in 1643 A.D., not because he died of old age, but because he was killed by Li Zicheng's peasant army."

"If Zhu Changxun is said to be immortal, he may live longer than Chongzhen. Well, let's talk about something interesting now."

"It is said that Zhu Changxun is a big fat man, weighing more than 300 kilograms. He is as fat as a pig."

"That year when Li Zicheng led his army into Luoyang, Zhu Changxun was arrested by Li Zicheng. When Li Zicheng saw how fat Zhu Changxun was, he immediately ordered his death!"

"After killing Zhu Changxun, Li Zicheng said that it was all because of you corrupt princes who are fed up and oppressed the people. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fight back!"

"So I took a knife, cut off a piece of meat from Zhu Changxun's body, and immediately swallowed it alive, but Li Zicheng didn't move elsewhere, but asked two eunuchs to bring Zhu Changxun's body and head back to the capital."
