In history, there were many emperors who were described as strange. For example, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, was extremely thrifty. His thriftiness could even be said to be abnormal. In terms of food and drink, his expenses were only one percent of Emperor Wanli's. In terms of clothing, he would wear a set of clothes for at least a month, and after changing them, he would continue to wear them the next month. He also changed the gold and silver utensils in the palace into wooden porcelain, and the precious utensils were sealed in the palace treasury to reward the ministers. He lived in a small and simple side hall, boiled water and washed himself, and saved as much entertainment as possible. Moreover, his frugality was also implemented in his ruling style, such as the abolition of the relay station. Although this move saved money, it also caused many of the relay station staff to be laid off and unemployed. Some people joined the uprising army, and Li Zicheng was one of them.
