This was the case in Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty. When he 17 years old ascended the throne, he made great efforts to destroy the sea and save the country, but eventually accelerated the fall of the Ming Dynasty. During his 17 career as Emperor Chongzhen, I was impatient and changed 5 1 Zaifu continuously, with an average of three a year. This speed cannot stabilize the policy.
In the face of the current situation, Chongzhen, who was bent on reversing the situation, racked his brains, frequently confused and panicked. In addition, the eunuch power was eliminated at that time, and the civilian power was great, and the checks and balances were lost. These politically correct literati once again opposed Chongzhen and did not make any meaningful decisions for more than ten years.
So when Chongzhen died, he left the ministers' last words by mistake. Recently, unofficial history manufacturers have been spreading rumors, and the crisis in Chongzhen has long been right by a person who measures words. In other words, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was a destiny, and it was so destiny that mortals could not reverse it.
Here's the story. Chongzhen has nothing to do. He was full and ran into the street, where he met a man who measured words. Then on a whim, Chongzhen couldn't hold back his inner excitement, so he went up to measure his words. As a result, three words in a row were said to be the demise of Daming.
First of all, Chongzhen casually said a friend. I heard that he was a friend of a friend, and he reacted quickly. After listening to him, he said that his friend was an anti-thief, which means that anti-thieves started almost long ago. It seems that the situation is not good.
When Chongzhen saw this, he had a brainwave and said that I was talking about the existence of things, not friends of friends. Measuring words is not simple. What he immediately said was that there were fewer words and no words. Taken together, Daming Mountain is incomplete and the situation is not very good.
One by one, I don't know. Chongzhen is in a hurry, and he uses his quick wits. Soon, you heard wrong. When I say unitary, it is unitary. I think it's time you said something auspicious. Who knows, this one-track mind of measuring characters is suddenly regarded as a noble word. It is not good to say that the unitary word has no head above, no tail below and no head and no tail.
Faced with the unappreciative character test, Chongzhen is in no mood to quibble about other words, and has not made a difference in the character test. He can't do anything about word testing, because word testing is fabricated, and word testing people don't exist. It's not that Chongzhen is generous, but that he doesn't know that future generations will be bored to make up such a question. But then Daming died.
I have to say that the people who made up this story are quick, not to mention whether Chongzhen will have nothing to measure words. In ancient times, emperors went on patrol, often in groups. How can he measure words by himself? He can only say that he watched too many incognito private visits, thinking that he would run out without brains.
Besides, people who judge characters are too accurate to see that the emperor is in sight. They say Daming will die three times in a row, not afraid of being killed? So this is a fabricated specious thing, and there is no truth.
Of course, fabricators also need to conform to history. Chongzhen, who wanted to revolve around Gankun, became the king of national subjugation. With his efforts, the river went from bad to worse. Ten years after Chongzhen, Zhang, Li Zicheng and other refugee forces snowballed, and the court could no longer destroy them.
Wandering Zhang and Li Zicheng destroyed the grass-roots institutions in the north, then Zhang went to Shu and Li Zicheng went to Beijing. The Qing dynasty outside the customs was still at the border from time to time, and it was difficult to take care of both sides of Chongzhen. Finally, in seventeen years, Li Zicheng surrounded the capital, and Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan.
