Princess Changping was the beloved daughter of Emperor Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Her maiden name is Zhu Meizhuo. She is the only one of several princesses in Chongzhen. Others, such as the queen's imperial concubine and the little princesses, were either forced to death by Emperor Chongzhen or stabbed to death by a knife. Princess Changping was doomed, but Emperor Chongzhen did not stab the last sword after cutting off her arm.
Zhou shixian
The year before Beijing was destroyed, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and Princess Changping broke her arm, she was still a happy and beautiful princess. 1644, her father was about to betrothed her to Zhou Shixian, but the world was cold. Legend has it that Zhou Shixian is the son of a high official and handsome. In the play, he played with Princess Changping since he was a child. They are childhood friends and have had feelings since childhood. Just wait for the day after marriage, the two of them will cling to each other and grow old together to see how happy their children and grandchildren are.
But the rebels in Li Zicheng prevented their wedding, but the army soon invaded the city, and the country's long-standing body was crippled. Holding a disheartened body, looking at the Forbidden City, which has already changed hands, Princess Changping's eyes are full of sadness. But the Qing court will not let her go, but use her to deal with the remnants of the old Ming dynasty. In order to show benevolence to the world, the Qing court also presided over the wedding of Changping and Zhou Shixian, but they were attached to their old country and committed suicide by taking poison on their wedding night.
Drama is a combination of sadness and beauty, but reality is naked pain. In reality, Zhou Shixian did not die with Princess Changping. Princess Changping was also devastated by the tragic death of her relatives at the hands of the Qing court. Unbearable Changping died in grief, leaving only endless regrets and sighs for future generations.
Princess Changping was pregnant when she died.
Emperor Chongzhen was the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the most regrettable monarch in the history of China. He wanted to turn the tide and save his ancestral home from the quagmire, but his country and his suspicious temper failed to realize his ambition. At that time, the city was broken, and he adhered to the "king's subjugation" set in the early Ming Dynasty, taking his family with him. But because he failed to stab the last sword, one of his daughters, Princess Changping, survived.
Princess Changping stills
Princess Changping, who was carried back to her grandfather's house, finally became a pawn in the United front of the Qing court. In order to eliminate the remnants of the old Ming dynasty as soon as possible and win over some forces with uncertain positions, Princess Changping is a gold-lettered signboard, and the appeal of the Ming dynasty's royalty is great.
In order to reflect the righteousness of the Qing court, Dourgen pretended to be the emperor shunzhi to complete the unfinished marriage of Princess Changping, perhaps Zhou Shixian appointed by Emperor Chongzhen. Along with marriage, there are a lot of gold, silver and jewels, luxurious clothes and jade food. The pressure exerted on Changping made her breathless, and she could only accept it. There was no alternative route open to her. Princess Changping's last hope was shattered when she learned that her brother who fled south was finally captured and killed by the Qing court. These heavy blows were beyond her capacity, and she finally left in frustration. Princess Changping had just been married for one year when she died and was pregnant for five months.
Therefore, Princess Changping did not become a one-armed goddess like the legend, nor did she practice martial arts against the Qing court all her life. Because her short life is confined to Beijing, she has never set foot on it. Princess Changping's life is bleak and miserable, and future generations can only add luster to her life in legend.
How did Princess Changping die?
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, after Li Zicheng captured Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan Park, and the Ming Dynasty was declared extinct. But after the victory, Li Zicheng immediately showed the weakness of small farmers' low vision. After entering Beijing, he only knew pleasure and indulgence. When fighting with the burly Qing army, his military aircraft had already scattered, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated. After entering the customs, the Qing court began to eliminate the remnants of the Ming dynasty in various ways, including using the royal harem like Princess Changping to lure the remaining relatives out.
Princess Changping
Princess Changping, whose left arm was cut off by Emperor Chongzhen, miraculously survived and was not in danger of being infected later. I don't know whether the last princess was put on a heavenly coat or whether it was a greater blow and irony to her. Princess Changping will definitely be caught by the Qing court. She has received a lot of favor, so she can tell the world the love of the Qing court for her, which will be beneficial to the rule of the people. So Princess Changping in Beijing is a tool, but as a woman, she has no choice but to float like duckweed.
Originally, I had hope for my brothers who fled south, expecting them to unite with the forces of the Ming Dynasty and return to Beijing to recover the rivers and mountains. However, because of poverty, Prince Zhu Cilang went to the home of his grandfather Zhou Kui in the north. The princess was pleasantly surprised and cried for a long time with her brother in her arms. However, Zhou Kui, who had taken refuge in the Qing court, told the court about it, so Dourgen and he called Zhu Cilang a fake prince. Princess Changping didn't do it, but she was scared by grandpa. She could only watch her brother being beheaded, and her heart ached.
Soon, the Hong Guang court in Nanking was also captured, and all the princes and ministers were captured and killed. Although the Qing court completed the marriage between Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian, it was not enough to calm the pain in her heart. The pain of national destruction and the reality of human death made Princess Changping have no love, and finally died of depression in Shunzhi for three years.
