Let’s talk about Princess Rongchang of the Ming Dynasty today. The predecessors have said that "the poor beauty is always dead, and the most ruthless emperor's house". When the Emperor Chongzhen was about to be captured in Beijing, he personally cut at his own daughter, Princess Changping, which is really very impressive. Sad, the turmoil period has been so miserable, let alone the subjugated princess. Let's take a look at the fate of Rongchang today.
Princess Rongchang's real name is Zhu Xuanying, she is the eldest daughter of Emperor Wanli, and the only child of the queen and the emperor, and because of this she has always been loved. She was supposed to marry when she was fifteen years old. According to the rules left by her ancestors, she said she could only marry a commoner, but his father was afraid that he would be wronged, so he secretly widened the scope. Some rich kids can do anything. After many considerations and selections, Yang Chunyuan, the son of Yang Ji, the deputy commander of Nancheng Soldiers, was finally determined. Because they became the emperor's son-in-law, their family also benefited a lot. Yang Chunyuan became a Lieutenant, and his father was also promoted. So at this time, the husband and wife respect each other as guests, and the Yang family treats her very well. The princess herself is also very good, and her personality is good, and she doesn't have the princess's faults. She was very kind to the Yang family, was very filial, had no airs, and continued the incense to give birth to many children in the Yang family. The relationship between the two is really very good, but how can there be a lot of friction in life?
Later, the two of them got angry because of a little thing. This Wanli loves his children too much, and is very angry. The more I think about it, the more angry I hold it in my hand. Are you angry? So he called out his son-in-law to give him a meal. This son-in-law was also wronged. She is your child and I am also a child, and then I feel even more sad. The more I think about it, the more I am wronged, so I want to escape and go straight back to my hometown to calm down and be reported later. This Wanli was even more angry, what the hell was this, so he asked him to go home quickly and also removed his father from his job. This was nothing at all, but I didn't expect it to be like this. The son-in-law was silly and confessed his mistake. When the princess saw that the husband knew that he was wrong, he stopped saying anything. After a long time, I saw that he was still studying rituals at the Imperial College, thinking that he knew he was wrong and changed it and his anger disappeared, so he resumed his official position. After that, the two have not quarreled again, and I have to say that this father is really in place. But unfortunately, the two of them did not keep turning their heads. Why, because mother Yang passed away twelve years later, and this Yang Ah is a filial son. He is so sad to see that his mother has passed away. Then within a few days, he left because of excessive grief. Rongchang was very sad when he lost two relatives at once, but he didn't expect this to be just the beginning.
Within a few years, her parents also left. The Ming dynasty at that time also gradually failed. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng captured Beijing. At that time, the emperor Chongzhen ended himself at Meishan. The people of the country didn't have a chance to live, and she had only one child left. After that, there was no place to settle, and her real estate was taken away. Due to life, she had to take the children back to her husband's hometown. In fact, at that time, they still had some land in Gu'an County that could collect rent. With rent, they could barely survive. But soon these were taken over by the Qing government, and the last generation of princesses starved to death in the dilapidated hut.
Don’t know what such a proud princess would think before he died? Will it be the prosperous pampering when I was a child or the happy time with my family, the feeling of poverty and illness or missing the loved ones... In fact, this is not important anymore. A subjugated princess, who will pay attention?
