In 1644, the ** regime of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by a torrent of peasant uprisings, a historic event that had far-reaching consequences. In the midst of this turmoil, the remnants quickly formed a regime called the "Puppet Ming Dynasty" in Nanjing. The puppet king Zhu Yousong became the puppet emperor of this new regime, but his behavior was shocking. These scandalous gossip are so staggering that it's no wonder they've been widely discussed.
The life of this puppet emperor is like an absurd comedy. When he first ascended the throne, he seemed to be a little concerned about the government and politics, and frequently summoned ministers, giving people a feeling of blood boiling, but after a long time, his true colors were gradually revealed. According to records, not long after he came to power, he summoned ministers every day and behaved a little;However, by the third month, he had almost become a hermit, and he turned a blind eye to all the major events in the palace.
The profligacy of this puppet emperor is even more incredible. In a situation where he should have been restrained, he was extravagant and indulgent. For the sake of his mother's joy, he even let the state spend a lot of money, prepared a luxurious residence for her, and held a grand palace wedding extravagantly and wastefully. The Ministry of Industry dissuaded him many times, but he didn't care, and he spent extravagantly. ** They had to sign a joint letter to warn him of the financial crisis, and only then did they reluctantly get his consent.
What's even more astonishing is that when the country was in crisis, this puppet emperor did nothing, indulged in wine, and was indifferent to national affairs. According to rumors, he spent his days loitering, not only indulging in the beauties of the palace, but also indulging in some absurd dramas. When the country is facing external troubles, he only thinks about his own selfish desires, which is really intolerable.
Moreover, the extravagant life of this puppet emperor also brought great social troubles. Not only did he squander the country's wealth, but he also created a beauty pageant storm that led to panic and chaos among the people. In order to satisfy his selfish desires, the court eunuchs even took the opportunity to collect money and disrupt the social order. This absurd behavior has aroused widespread dissatisfaction and anger among the people.
Eventually, as the Qing army approached, the absurd regime finally fell. The courtiers had to fight with the puppet emperor for the safety of the country, but he only cared about his own selfish desires and ignored national affairs. After going through the storm, this farce has finally come to an end.
History is always full of many absurd stories, and the life of this puppet emperor is like an absurd comedy. His extravagance, absurdity, and disregard for national affairs ultimately led to the downfall of himself and the regime. Such a story makes people sigh at the absurdity and impermanence of history.
