Chapter 104 1. A horrible life

Compared with the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen's popularity is no less than that of his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.But it is a pity that Chongzhen's fame was achieved by the trouble of Li Zicheng, a rogue.To put it plainly, he is Li Zicheng's foil. Without his tragedy, there would be no glory of Li Zicheng's life. However, despite Emperor Chongzhen's high popularity, basically speaking, there should be no one who really knows him. Don't historians know him? It is precisely because historians do not understand Chongzhen, because historians are not psychologists, not to mention that even psychologists may not be able to understand Emperor Chongzhen. What we need now are historical psychologists.

How can it be so troublesome... The actual situation is more troublesome than this. As long as you know Chongzhen's unfortunate childhood, you will know how bleak the future of the empire is. Emperor Chongzhen, named Zhu Youjian, was the half-brother of the master carpenter Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao, but his infancy and childhood were the scariest in the world. Emperor Chongzhen was born to Liu Shi, the third concubine of Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo, and lived with his father's family under the terrible shadow of Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun.At the critical moment when he was four years old, we know that this is the time when the infant’s first self-personality is formed, and from then on the child will form all the cognitive concepts of the world——just when Xiao Chongzhen stared at the two eyeballs. , While seriously observing and studying the world, suddenly, with a "bang", the door was kicked open.Seeing his murderous father, Zhu Changluo, leading the family's little nanny Li Xuanshi, he rushed in aggressively.Xiao Chongzhen should have seen his father pointing at his mother's nose, and scolded angrily, "Did you mess with my girlfriend just now?"

"I... no..." Xiao Chongzhen's mother must have been terrified, and hastily knelt at the feet of the little nanny Li Xuanshi to plead guilty: "Nanny, you are a lot of adults, you can do whatever you like with my husband, and I will decide Don't dare to say a word. For my child's sake, just let me go..." Stop it!Li Xuanshi, the babysitter, should have been furious, and snapped, "Now you know how to beg for mercy? What did you do earlier? No, I must punish you severely, so that you know who is in charge of the family now." "You have the final say, you have the final say, the nanny has always had the final say in the family, nanny mother, you fed me with sweet milk..." Xiao Chongzhen's mother must be begging bitterly, desperately admitting her mistake.But her pleading could not impress the little nanny Li Xuanshi, and in order to win the little nanny's favor, her father Zhu Changluo unceremoniously grabbed her mother's bun and kicked her out of the door.

Next, Xiao Chongzhen lay on the crack of the door, watching his mother freeze to death—maybe he didn't see it, and it was even more terrifying.The gentle and loving mother just now turned into a cold dead body in an instant. For a four-year-old child, this meant a fear that could not be erased in a lifetime. From then on, he grew up in this kind of fear. Accompanying him was the little nanny, Li Xuan, who would beat him on the head or spank his ass every now and then, depending on his mood.Even if there is no such thing, domestic cold violence is equivalent to a disaster for a four-year-old child.

Xiao Chongzhen lives in hell. In the world he understood, everyone hated him, resented him, hated him, and tried their best to hurt him.At the same time, everyone hates each other, hates each other, hates each other and hurts each other.But soon, he discovered that this kind of hostility and injury, compared to the world of adults, is like a heavenly nostalgia. When he was eleven years old, he saw with his own eyes Li Jinzhong, the commander-in-chief of the eunuch rebel column, leading a group of eunuchs to fight against the white-bearded old man who broke into the palace, and went out to chase and kill his brother Zhu Youxiao. At that time, Zhu Youxiao was scared out of his wits Flying gallbladder, howling and crying—the lustful power of the little nanny Li Xuanshi overwhelmed the future hope of the first family of the empire.

No matter in the heart of elder brother Zhu Youxiao or Xiao Chongzhen, the person who changed Li Jinzhong's name to Wei Zhongxian is a terrifying existence.This fat man with a sullen and sly smile only needs to pick up a little finger, and he can crush him like an ant. It's scary, the world is really scary.However, something more terrifying than horror happened again. Emperor Xizong suddenly became critically ill and called Chongzhen into the palace.
