Luo Ji Thoughts Why Chongzhen couldn’t run away

At that time, no one in the imperial court agreed to allow Chongzhen to move the capital, and insisted that Chongzhen stay in the capital. Only allowing the prince and court officials to move to Nanjing could protect the Ming Dynasty. Of course, Chongzhen did not agree. Chongzhen made the world laugh because he had no money to mobilize his own army. From this, it can be seen that Chongzhen did not have much power at that time and was just a puppet. The move to the capital was blocked by important ministers, which drove Chongzhen crazy. When the city was broken, he killed thousands of people in the palace with his sword. Later, he and Wang Chengen went to Meishan to commit suicide and died for the country. He was later named Emperor Xiaolie. It wasn't that he didn't want to run, it was the ministers who refused to let him run, which led to the demise of the Ming Empire.
