The Forbidden City, the palace of the Ming Dynasty, was built during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty.

The Forbidden City covers an area of ​​more than 720,000 square meters, with more than 9,000 palaces, all of which are wooden structures, yellow glazed tiles, and blue and white stone bases, decorated with magnificent colorful paintings. These palaces are arranged along a north-south central axis and spread to both sides, straightened north-south and symmetrical from left to right. This central axis not only runs through the Forbidden City, but also reaches Yongding Gate in the south, and reaches the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower in the north, and runs through the entire city. It is grand, with a rigorous plan and is extremely spectacular.

Among the many palaces, the most famous are the three main halls.

These three halls are Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, and Jinshen Hall.

Fengtian Hall was in charge of the inner court temple sacrifice, and later became a meeting office. The other two halls were court discussions and court rituals. The emperor lived in the Ganqing Palace, the Empress Dowager lived in the Cishou Palace, and the Ciqing Palace. In the first month of Taizu, the white-clothed white tiger palace was built. Emperor Shizong built the Western Garden, and there was Yuxi Palace. During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, the leopard room was built.

The study room in the Ganqing Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen, the 28-year-old young man with a round face, medium height and a beard. He was angry and pointed at the court officials in front of him and scolded: "Tell me, tell me, how did you govern the country? You said there was no way. If you want me to issue an edict for crimes, I will issue an edict for crimes. In the northwest, the two rebels, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, made a fuss. If I ask for money and food, I will give me money and food. As a result, I have not yet suppressed the thieves."

"In the Qing Dynasty, I asked for money, grain, and policies, and I just hope you can fight better. As a result, I lost every year. This year, it was even more nonsense. First, the Qing army bypassed the border guards and rushed directly to my mountain, went east to cover the cities of Ji, Nancheng and other cities, and kidnapped more than 200,000 people, and countless other properties."

"Then, a locust plague occurred. The Qing Dynasty sent troops to attack my city and rob the food and property of the people under his command."

"What did the Qing Dynasty regard my country as? Did it be a fat sheep that could be attacked or robbed at any time?"

"What did the Qing Dynasty regard me again?"

Chongzhen cursed in anger that the young emperor was a very contradictory emperor.

There are generally two types of emperors, one is a wise monarch and the other is a ignorant monarch.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was not any of them.

He is very diligent and starts to deal with national affairs before dawn every day. He has no rules and has to read them all.

He is very frugal. He even wears clothes for the rest of the army. He has no requirement for eating. Generally, a meal only costs a few dishes.

He was not lustful at all. He only had a queen and a few concubines. He didn't stay with his concubines very much, and he had no interest in talent shows.

All his energy was spent on one thing, that is, to save the Ming Dynasty, this conquered building. From this perspective, he was definitely a good emperor.

However, after all, he had not received a true education to be an emperor and knew nothing about how to become an emperor.

For example, when he first came to power, he directly killed Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian's reputation was quite bad, but that was because he offended the literati, and it was not difficult to be bad. The biggest function of Wei Zhongxian, the nine thousand years old, was to help the emperor shock all officials and collect taxes. Without Wei Zhongxian, no one could restrain the officials.

When Wei Zhongxian was there, the tea tax in Zhejiang and Jiang could be collected 200,000 taels of silver. When he died, the tea tax paid by Zhejiang and Jiang was only 12 taels. Yes, it was not 120,000 taels, not 12,000 taels of silver, nor 1,200 taels of silver, but 12 taels of silver. This was the ministers who treated Chongzhen as a fool.

Chongzhen's killing of Wei Zhongxian was the biggest mistake he made.

Later, Emperor Chongzhen also had many flaws in his personality. If you want to describe it, it means: he is suspicious and observing, and he is strong but respecting qi. If he is careful, he is harsh and has few kindness, and he is quick and unstoppable.

Chongzhen was impulsive and was too eager to change the status quo. Tianqi originally left behind a large number of important officials, but many problems were difficult to counteract. Chongzhen's principle was that if there was a little fault, he would immediately replace the person, or even be imprisoned and executed. This led to the emperor's distrust of the ministers, the ministers distrust the emperor, and they immediately took office and were afraid to let go. In addition, Chongzhen became more and more angry in the later period, killing a large number of important officials. The remaining group did not want to be killed and surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, causing the monarch and ministers to be disloyal.

Take the ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Wang Qia and Chen Xinjia as an example. Later Jin Dynasty came to the city of Beijing. Some people said that Jiajing killed Ding Rukui, the Minister of War, and the enemy retreated, so Chongzhen locked up Wang Qia and prepared to kill him. Later, Chongzhen sent Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, to discuss peace secretly. As a result, the news leaked, which made Chongzhen very embarrassed, so he killed Chen Xinjia. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, none of the 14 Ministers of War, and it was changed to 54 cabinets. It was rare in ancient and modern times, and it was simply a destruction of the country.

Therefore, Chongzhen was a tragic emperor.

He is a typical effort, but he lacks talent and cannot be an emperor of good emperor.

If it is in peacetime, it doesn't matter.

But it was really difficult to be at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

And the ministers who were scolded by him could only silently lower their heads. They did not dare to refute. If they had such a boss and dared to refute, they might have refuted it.

Emperor Chongzhen became more and more angry as he thought about it: "I have been in office for twelve years, and have worked diligently and fed all over the place, but my ministers have misled me."

At this moment, the current temporary chief minister Xue Guoguan ran in directly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there will be a report of war at the border."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said angrily: "Which city has been captured? What's the use of soldiers I have taken so much money to support? Facing the Qing soldiers, I can't fight at all. Once I meet the Qing soldiers, I will be defeated."

"No, no, Your Majesty, this is a good news, a good news." Xue Guoguan shouted quickly.

The ministers next to him who were being scolded couldn't help but be surprised. Good news? It was actually good news? When I was facing the Qing Manchu army, I could only pass it once every good news in countless years.

Chongzhen was originally angry, but when he heard the word "Good News", he couldn't help but feel anxious and snatched the note from Xue Guoguan's hand. He was the more he looked at it, but his expression suddenly changed. He threw the note on the ground of the study room of the Ganqing Palace: "Hehe, what's going on in Gao Yongming? I'm treating me as a fool? It's normal to say that he led his troops to encounter the forces of the three Niu Lu's opponents. What happened? He had an unparalleled general, He Xuan, who defeated a whole of Niu Lu's Qing soldiers with one enemy of three hundred. Is he treating me as a fool?"

"By one against three hundred, haha."

The ministers who were being scolded couldn't help but look at Xue Guoguan in surprise after hearing this. This presiding minister Xue, who was temporarily in office, is not a fool. This kind of war report that was obviously mixed with countless water was also handed over? Will he be willing to die when he meets Emperor Chongzhen? The presiding minister Xue, probably the end of the day.

"When you go back to your Majesty, I thought this memorial was completely unreliable at first." Xue Guoguan said in a deep voice: "But, afterwards, Gao Yongming said that he had personally tried the general flag named He Xuan, saying that this man had a huge force, and lifted a fifty-pound table and seven big men in one go."

"And, this Mr. He was the last time he killed eight Qing soldiers alone."

"Maybe, there are some strange people in this world."

"I don't dare to judge whether this matter is true or not, so I handed it over to Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to take a look." No matter what the result is, Xue Guoguan has completely overwhelmed the responsibility. If there is really a problem, it is also Gao Yongming's problem.

Chongzhen's face was as deep as water, and he was thinking about the authenticity of this matter.

Logically speaking, this matter cannot be true. It is impossible to think about it if you fight three hundred yuan.
