What was the final outcome of the children of Chongzhen after the demise of the Ming Dynasty?
After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, with the hanging of Emperor Chongzhen, the fate of his children was not much better. According to historical records, at that time, only Princess Changping, Chongzhen's favorite eldest daughter, fled outside the palace, and most of the others failed to escape smoothly. And many final fates are tragic, which just confirms the old saying? No eggs under the nest? . Chongzhen had seven sons and six daughters before his death, but only three sons and two daughters were left when Chongzhen died, and the rest died in the middle.

The first point: the final outcome of the two daughters of Emperor Chongzhen; When the Forbidden City broke ground, Chongzhen had two lovely daughters. In order not to humiliate his daughter, he said a classic sentence to Princess Changping? Why did you give birth to my family? ; Chongzhen personally killed his youngest daughter, Princess Zhaoren, but in the face of his favorite eldest daughter, Princess Changping, he could never do it, and finally cut off her arm, which made Princess Changping unconscious. It is precisely because of this that Princess Changping successfully escaped and survived.

The second point: the ending of the three sons of Emperor Chongzhen. The sons who stayed in the Forbidden City at that time were the Prince, the third Prince Zhu Cijiong and the fourth Prince Zhu Cizhao. With the arrival of Li Zicheng, they naturally became prisoners; However, it is very surprising that Li Zicheng did not humiliate and kill them. Instead, he treated the three princes with courtesy. Under such circumstances, he promised some excessive demands from Prince Zhu Cilang. Finally, the prince was named King of the Song Dynasty and stayed in Beijing. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Soon after, with the defeat of Li Zicheng, the immediate peace was also broken. After the city was broken, several governors were gone.

Therefore, in our long feudal history, if princes and princes are prosperous, they will naturally live a prosperous life. Once in troubled times, perhaps after the change of dynasty, their situation is worse than that of ordinary people, and the children of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty are so miserable.
