Why did Emperor Chongzhen perish?

First, let's make a comparison with this question. Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, basically did nothing, and was given preferential treatment by the government of the Republic of China. After the transformation of New China, the urn finally entered the Xiling, so it can be said that his life is quite satisfactory. However, Chongzhen is different. As soon as he came to power, he faced foreign troubles and domestic worries and worked hard. People under the age of 30 turned white and looked like an old man in his fifties. Finally, he hanged himself from the southeast branch, and finally he was in a state of death, which was regrettable. The specific answer is to find the reason from Chongzhen's own point of view.

First, I can't manage money. In the 11th year of Chongzhen, Wanping Ancient City was built, and the Ministry of Industry budgeted 322,000 silver. Eunuch wujun was asked by Chongzhen to be an accountant. As a result, only 14.95 silver is needed. The actual cost after completion is 125000 taels, leaving 23000 taels of silver. Wu Jun saved 182000 taels of silver for Chongzhen, which should be affirmed and rewarded. Therefore, the minister angrily criticized Wu Jun for taking bribes, cutting corners and profiting from it. Chongzhen didn't ask Green Red and sent him to prison directly.

Second, there is no perseverance. Chongzhen is a famous thrifty emperor. In order to show that he is a thrifty emperor, he and the queen set an example by eating vegetarian dishes ten times a month, but after eating them for a long time, they dislike vegetarian dishes and have no taste. So the eunuchs thought of a way. They hollowed out a whole goose, stuffed it with vegetables, cooked it, took out the vegetables, washed it with wine and cooked it with sesame oil. After eating it, Chongzhen was full of praise.

Third, there is no responsibility and no blood. Because of the long-term war with the Jurchen nationality, he lost a lot of population and land, and Chongzhen finally came to his senses. He planned to make peace. So he privately ordered Chen Xinjia to make peace. As a result, it was leaked before he could have a glimpse. Then, it seems that officials have beaten chicken blood. When Chongzhen saw that he provoked public anger, he left the blame to Chen Xinjia, and was finally dismissed from office and lost his life.

Fourth, willful personality. Seeing that the situation became more and more serious, Chongzhen wrote letters to himself six times in a row, saying that he should take responsibility and reflect on himself. But after each imperial edict, in order to balance his psychology, he killed some ministers to vent his anger, resulting in no one available in the later period. It is also possible that the formation of this character is related to the psychological shadow he suffered in his childhood. It is such a king with small ability, big temper and psychological imbalance. Before he died, he lamented that the minister misunderstood me. In other words, I have no responsibility at all. I was harmed by others.
