Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty measured the word "you"

In Chongzhen 17 of Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng led an army to attack Beijing. Although Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, knew that the general trend was gone, he could not persist on the high moat in Beijing and waited for reinforcements.

Song Xiance, a counselor from Chu Zhuangwang, disguised himself as Mr Ziyi, and set up a Ziyi booth outside the palace. On this day, Chongzhen took the eunuch Wang Dehua in disguise and slipped out of the palace, asking Song Xiance to measure his character. Write the word "friend" first. Song suggested: "If you cover the upper part of the word" friend ",it will become the word" anti ". If you read it according to the glyph, I am afraid that "anti" will come out. " Wang Dehua wrote another word "you", but Song Xiance hesitated and whispered, "This word" you "is even more unlucky. You see, the word' big' is missing in the upper part and the word' bright' is missing in the lower part. Obviously, Daming has already gone halfway. " Chongzhen made a sudden snatch and snatched Wang Dehua's pen. He wrote down the word "Shen You" and handed it to Song Xiance. Song gave an idea and said mysteriously, "Don't tell the guest officer. You see, the word "one" is in the "respect", with no head above and no feet below. According to the glyph, it is clearly implied that the Supreme One will have no head and no feet. "

After hearing what Song Xiance said, Chongzhen lost two souls. The next day, Emperor Chongzhen took Wang Dehua and hanged himself in Jingshan Park. The morale of the officers and men guarding the city in Beijing was suddenly low, and the rebels successfully entered Beijing.
