Did Emperor Chongzhen have any psychological problems when he killed such a hero?

AD 1644 was a troubled year in the Ming Dynasty. There were earthquakes in Fengyang and Nanjing, the plague spread, and there was a star in the moon in Beijing. Emperor Chongzhen was mentally and physically exhausted and had a complete mental breakdown. At this time, the treasury was in deficit. In order to resist the attack of Li Zicheng's Dashun army, the emperor asked the ministers to donate some money. Unexpectedly, all the ministers complained that they were poor.

Chongzhen was desperate. On March 16, 1644 AD, the Dashun Army arrived in Changping, which was the last natural barrier to Beijing. Two days later, Beijing was destroyed. Chongzhen knew that he was powerless and shouted: "All the ministers inside and outside have mistaken me! They have mistaken me!" He cried bitterly. Chongzhen called his three sons to him, found rags and asked them to put them on. After explaining their affairs, he asked the eunuchs to send them out of the palace. After Tuogu's matter was over, Chongzhen said to Queen Zhou: "The situation is over. As the queen and mother of the country, you should commit suicide." Queen Zhou cried bitterly and ran back to Kunning Palace to commit suicide. Chongzhen gave Bai Ling to Concubine Yuan Guifei and the concubines of the West Palace. He turned around and waved his hand: "Kill yourself!" Then, Chongzhen thought of the princess again and went straight to the residence of Princess Changping of Ningshou Palace with his sword in hand. The princess knew that her father was coming to kill her, so she cried heartbreakingly to let her live. Chongzhen shouted sadly: "Why did you want to be born in my home?" Then he cut the princess's arm with a knife and stabbed the princess to death cruelly. . At this time, Chongzhen was already a tin man who was as cruel as a wolf but heartless. Then, he came to the residence of the young daughter Princess Zhaoren and killed Princess Zhaoren.

At this time, Chongzhen's spirit completely collapsed. After killing his own flesh and blood and concubines, looking at the blood-stained sword and skirt, he knew that he would be the next to die. The next day, Emperor Chongzhen, eunuch Wang Chengen and his master and servant climbed to the top of Meishan Mountain. At this time, Chongzhen was in a desperate state. Chongzhen knew that the city of Beijing had been completely occupied, and he couldn't help but feel extremely depressed and disheartened. He took off his belt, put it on the branch of a dead tree under the Shouhuang Pavilion, and told Wang Chengen: "When I die, my face must be covered to show that I have no face to see my ancestors. "Then he hanged himself to death.

Why did Chongzhen kill his wife and daughter before hanging himself? According to the "Ming Dynasty Chronicles", after Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, he arbitrarily robbed women and gave them to the soldiers. He robbed countless women. It is not difficult to explain why Chongzhen wanted to kill his wife and daughter. In order to let the concubines maintain their chastity, in order to prevent the princesses from being insulted, and to prevent his wife and daughter from falling into the hands of intruders, he killed them all to save their lives. The rituals of ancestors and clans.
