At that time, when Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, it was the last year of the Ming Dynasty, and the court was very unstable, and there was an invasion by foreign enemies. At this time, Chongzhen wanted to search for some property so that he could run away, but in the end, because no one responded to him, he committed suicide. In fact, Chongzhen itself is also a very poor emperor.
From ancient books, we know that the society in the late Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil, and it was only a matter of time before it died. Of course, Emperor Chongzhen could not be blamed. However, Emperor Chongzhen regarded the property in the national treasury as his own private coffers, and even when the country finally needed to use the money to resist foreign enemies, he was not willing to use it, which directly led to the poor operation of various institutions and directly accelerated the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.
We know that the emperor is the only thrill, and everything in the world belongs to the emperor, but the emperor is so greedy for property. However, Emperor Chongzhen is really not the king of national subjugation, and he is also preoccupied with the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty, but his talent is not enough, and he has many doubts about employing people, and he is hesitant in handling things.
There is another reason why Emperor Chongzhen has been reluctant to use his own coffers, probably because he wants to escape. In the early days, there were Li Zicheng in the Central Plains and Dourgen outside. These were also formidable enemies. Emperor Chongzhen knew that his strength was unable to suppress, so he had the idea of running away. It is this attitude of wanting to fight but not daring to fight, wanting to make peace and not daring to make peace, which is the direct reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
We can understand that Emperor Chongzhen cherished money. After all, everyone likes money, but in the final analysis, it was because he left a back road for himself and refused to spend all his money and go all out, so the Ming Dynasty was prematurely destroyed.
