Sung Trinh De was a brave Emperor. Outside of the chaotic army, he sadly looked back at the palace and his relatives and then chose to commit suicide according to the country.
The king is on guard for the water but powerless because the dynasty has come to an end
Chong Trinh Emperor can be considered as the emperor with the most tragic fate in the history History of the Ming Dynasty . Unlike other kings who lost their country in history, during the 17 years of Sung Trinh De’s reign, he always ruled the kingdom, carried out reforms, wiped out the parties in the court, and always worked diligently. hope to save the tragedy of the decline of the Ming dynasty. Unfortunately it’s too late! The court at that time had hundreds of thousands of holes, politics was chaotic, moreover Ming Dynasty At that time, it was in the “downhill without brake” stage, the people lamented endlessly. The area of Guangdong, Xiamen, even Hainan has snowfall, drought in the North, floods in the South, it is this extreme weather phenomenon that has fueled the fire of hatred among the people when life Theirs had fallen into an impoverished stalemate. Because of that, peasant uprisings arose everywhere, for the Ming court, it was cold and foggy, and things that were bad are now getting worse. Starting from the first year of Chong Trinh (ie 1628), there was a great drought in the North of China, the land was white and the grass could not grow, in the “Han Nam custom of the district” it was recorded that: 
Illustrations. “In the first year of Chongzheng, the whole Shaanxi region was red like blood. In the fifth year there was a famine; in the sixth year there was a flood; in the seventh year there was a locust plague, causing a loss of crops and famine; in September of the eighth year, Xixiang In the tenth year, there was a great drought, Luoc Duong had a great flood, and houses were ruined; in the ninth year, there was a great drought and locusts; in the tenth year, the autumn crops were completely lost; in the eleventh summer, locusts flew through the sky; … in the tenth year. three great droughts; … the fourteenth year of the great drought.” The appearance of the rebels Because to cut spending, Emperor Chong Trinh ordered the removal of the epidemic station, the savings were used for military expenses in the Northeast. But no one expected that this staff reduction would bring back Chong Trinh De a very strong enemy, which is Ly Tu Thanh. After being dismissed, Ly Tu Thanh joined the insurgent army and soon became Thunder King. In 1644, the insurgents attacked the Forbidden City. Faced with the situation of dehydration near the shelf, along with the scene of the insurgent army breaking through the main gate of Beijing, Emperor Chong Trinh’s heart was like cold ashes, completely hopeless. In fact, this emperor could have fled with his court officials to the south, to Nanjing, continuing to maintain Ming domination. 
Because at that time, Nanjing has always been Beijing’s subsidiary capital, Beijing has a key force, and Nanjing also has a part. Moreover, there are still some descendants of the Zhou family, who did not follow Beijing, still continue to live in Nanjing. So even if Beijing was later destroyed, Emperor Chongzhen could still establish a new government in Nanjing. If Emperor Chongzheng can escape from Beijing, with his status, position and talent, the Ming dynasty still has the opportunity to rebuild and rebuild again. But Chong Trinh De was a brave Emperor. Outside of the chaotic army, he sadly looked back at the palace and his relatives and then chose to commit suicide according to the country. The fate of the concubines who served the Chong Trinh Emperor It is surprising that many of his concubines have committed suicide with him. Emperor Chong Trinh wholeheartedly took care of the country, so his harem concubines were not many. Moreover, the affection between Emperor Chong Trinh and Empress Chau was also very good, so he did not favor many other girls. Therefore, there are very few records of his concubine in history, moreover, there are also some people of high status who died at a young age. By the time the country died, there were not many people who personally paid their respects. 
The relationship between Chong Trinh De and Chau Empress has always been very good, extremely close, the feelings of the two can be compared to the love of a loving couple. Chong Trinh De and Chau Empress parted for the last time, after saying goodbye, Empress Chau also hanged herself and died. In addition to the Empress, there is also Consort Yuan. After parting, Consort Yuan also tied her neck with a rope, unfortunately because her body was a bit fat, so the rope broke. Yuan Gui fell to the ground, was in a coma for a while, and then regained consciousness. When the Qing army entered, she was arranged by the Qing army in a suitable position, enjoying her old age. Concubine Dien Quy was also one of the concubines of Emperor Chong Trinh. She was also favored by the king. Unfortunately, her health was always not good, so the three princes she gave birth to were also sick and died young. Tian Guifei couldn’t get over such a shock, was too pitiful, caused constant illness, and eventually died prematurely. Consort Vuong Thuan is also one of the concubines who died early. She came from a poor background, was a maidservant next to Chau Empress, the relationship between the two of them was very good. During his time at Tin Vuong Palace, he served Emperor Chong Trinh and Empress Chau. After that, he went to the palace with the Empress, always serving by her side. Once she happened to be blessed by the Emperor Chong Trinh, she became pregnant with a dragon race. Unfortunately, after giving birth, she died of bleeding. Emperor Chong Trinh’s harem still had a few other concubines, but because of his low status, he could not personally say goodbye. Most of them chose to commit suicide, following the Chong Trinh Emperor. In the face of the threat of dehydration, the weak women showed their last resilience, taking their own lives to express the last resistance, truly making people feel.
