Although Daming is the son of heaven to protect the country, is it a joke that the king died in his own country?

I don't know when people's praise of the Ming Dynasty became such a fixed sentence pattern. The first sentence pattern: I know Daming, and I will never marry him, never pay compensation, and never pay tribute. The second sentence pattern is: the emperor protects the country and the king dies. Of these two fixed sentences, I recognize the former compliment, but I say I can't accept the second compliment. Why do you say that? Please be sprayed first to find out why.

First of all, I admit that the son of heaven protects the country. Yongle the Great, who gained political power from the north to the south at that time, attached great importance to the management of the north. He was emperor in Yingtianfu for seven years. In the seventh year, he began to organize the construction of Changshou Mountain in Beijing. This is Judy's first decision to move the capital to Beijing, which is also his determination. After that, Judy's more shameless northern expedition consolidated the northern border defense.

In the 14th year of Yongle, Judy officially ordered the construction of a palace in Beijing. Under the auspices of Judy, the Forbidden City began to take shape, and finally, it left the Forbidden City we see now. Judy moved the capital to Beijing for several reasons, all of which can be said to have fulfilled the sentence "The emperor makes the princes".

For the Ming Dynasty, the most dangerous places were Mongolia and Northeast China. Moving the capital to Beijing was very important to the Ming Dynasty at that time. It is beneficial for the rulers to control the national political situation, and it is also beneficial for the Ming Dynasty to fight against Mongolia at that time, and it is also beneficial for the Ming Dynasty to govern the northeast. It can be said that moving the capital to Beiping is an important link in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also worthy of praise by future generations.

But the second half of the sentence, if you still want to take it out and be sought after, is very reluctant.

Emperor Chongzhen chose to kill his wife and daughter when the city was broken, and then sent his sons away. Finally, he took a eunuch and went to Jingshan Park. Then, I personally ended my life. Many people say that Emperor Chongzhen's character is admirable, and finally dying for his country deserves our respect, but is this really the case?

If we say that when the crisis broke out in the city, we didn't choose to surrender, but chose to end ourselves, then emperors like Shang Zhouwang would laugh. The songs sung by Zhou Wuwang in those days, Zhou Wang, who fought hard but failed, and Zhou Wang, who ended everything in Lutai, can also be praised? According to this theory, Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty was forced to hang himself. Can he be praised like this?

Besides, was this the only way left for Emperor Chongzhen at that time? At that time, Chongzhen didn't have no choice, but his indecisive character made him only have the worst choice. The minister proposed to move south, reopen the capital Nanjing, follow the example of the Southern Song Dynasty, and preserve its strength. Chongzhen gave up. The minister offered to send the prince first, but the prince refused, but didn't he send his sons away at the last minute?

This choice was made by Emperor Chongzhen, right? He didn't want to be accused of national subjugation, but there was nothing he could do. When there was no support in the city, he tried to escape, but no one in the capital supported him at that time. The city gate was closed and he was not allowed to escape. Faced with such a situation, he chose to hang himself in Jingshan Park.

We can hang ourselves to see the people's attitude towards the death of Emperor Chongzhen at that time. Chu Zhuangwang showed the bodies of him and the queen to the public, leaving a situation of "thirty ministers cry and worship, sixty ministers don't cry and the rest are above me". Tell me, is this scene of "passing by" a proper treatment for a beloved emperor? It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen chose this road, but it was only the next choice, and it was the result of self-blame, which also led to the faster demise of the Ming Dynasty.

We all say Guan Yu is very proud, but under his careless loss of Jingzhou, he didn't choose to commit suicide, but wanted to go back, give Liu Bei an account and give himself a chance to make a comeback. So, it's actually a proper way to escape and keep hope, isn't it? Later, Nanming was also established, but it was difficult for Nanming, who lacked an orthodox emperor, to maintain his rule and finally collapsed in a panic!

Tell me, in this case, are you ashamed to praise Chongzhen? Ming dynasty is good. At that time, unprecedented Chinese medicine was developed and the legal system reached its peak. In the Ming Dynasty, there was competition among thinkers, artists and writers. Most importantly, in the Ming Dynasty, China had a high international status. Of course, there are many achievements of the Ming Dynasty, but have you seen these?

Empty talk, empty talk, is really shocking, but can you really see anything from it afterwards? The Ming Dynasty was a good dynasty, but many emperors in this dynasty were not worthy of praise, were they?

Therefore, when you praise the Ming dynasty, you can say that "the son of heaven protects the country" is proud and brave, but you can't say that "the monarch died in the country" is great!
