Before telling today's historical events, the author would like to tell you an allusion - self-destruction of the Great Wall. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tan Daoji, a pillar general of the Liu Song Dynasty, made great contributions and suffered the jealousy of flatterers and the suspicion of the emperor. The emperor and several flatterers tricked Tan Daoji into the capital and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Tan Daoji was furious: "I will destroy your ten thousand miles of Great Wall again!" The meaning is: Kill me, you are destroying the Great Wall! As the backbone of the country, it is a pity that he did not die on the battlefield but died at the hands of his own people! In fact, there are many self-destruction of the Great Wall in history, such as Song Gaozong Zhao Gou killing Yue Fei and Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen killing Yu Qian.

But the one that had the greatest impact was the killing of Yuan Chonghuan by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian. Today, the author will talk about the killing of Yuan Chonghuan by Emperor Chongzhen. Yuan Chonghuan's tragedy should be said to be the inevitable result of the collision of his and Emperor Chongzhen's character flaws. One was frivolous and the other believed it; one was self-willed and the other was full of doubts. At the last moment, the man named Huang Taiji lit the fuse next to the gunpowder barrel, and the incident was inevitable.

The beginning was a happy one, just like the "rise, development, turn and end" of worldly affairs. The first step "rise" is always calm and harmonious. In April of the first year of Chongzhen, the emperor appointed Yuan Chonghuan as the Minister of War and the Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief, supervising the military affairs of Ji and Liao, and also supervising the military affairs of Deng, Lai and Tianjin. The cooperation between the two began, and Yuan Chonghuan returned the favor and expressed his willingness to pacify Liao for the emperor. Chongzhen immediately responded: "I will not hesitate to reward you with a title of nobility. You should work hard to relieve the suffering of the world! Your descendants will also benefit from it."
