Li Shimin's merits need not be said, ** and military talent, he is undoubtedly the leader of the emperors of all dynasties, and he can be called the first emperor of the ages.
So, what exactly did this illustrious emperor die? Thousands of years of different opinions, all kinds of strange reasons, today we will take a comprehensive combing, together ** this mystery.
A person's death is often caused by a combination of reasons, unless it is directly hit by lightning, then we can only speculate that his usual oath may have annoyed the heavenly court, and as a result, he was accidentally hit by an electric shock, which may be a slightly larger dose, which led to his death.
Li Shimin's death has puzzled many people. A man who has been through battles, in charge of tens of thousands of troops, should be physically strong, how can he live to be fifty-two years old and then die?
In those days, it was already the norm to live to the age of fifty or sixty, and it was generally believed that "people should not die after fifty" because living conditions had improved. However, Li Shimin's life to the age of 52 does not mean that he is normal.
What is the reason for this? I summarized several of his causes of death.
Li Shimin's Career as a Horseman: The Profound Impact of the Battle of Goguryeo Li Shimin used to be high-spirited and physically tough, and everything was normal before he left for Goguryeo. However, after returning from Goguryeo, he fell ill and could not return to his former state.
It can be seen from the "Old Tang Book" and the "Zizhi Tongjian" that the defeat of Goguryeo hit him hugely, both physically and psychologically, and suffered a double blow.
During the conquest of Goguryeo, according to the Zizhi Tongjian, Li Shimin suffered from a carbuncle on the way back, so severe that he even had to sit on a chariot to walk, and it was difficult to even ride a horse.
Although it seems that the disease is not serious now, in those days, it was not easy, especially considering that Li Shimin was already old and his immunity was declining.
Li Zhi once used his mouth to help Li Shimin suck the pus and blood in the drug sores, which not only reflected his benevolence and filial piety, but also confirmed from the side that the record of Li Shimin's illness was credible, otherwise it would not have been mentioned many times.
It is rumored that during the Goguryeo War, Li Shimin was wounded by an arrow, but this has not been confirmed in the historical materials of the Central Plains, and the accounts of the two sides are different from each other, and the truth is difficult to discern.
But Li Shimin sighed on the return trip: "If Wei Zheng was still here, I would not have made this campaign." "This shows that he regrets his decision. It is inferred from this that he may have actually been wounded by an arrow.
Despite the lack of conclusive evidence, this claim can still be used as a reference.
Lee Se-min is a one-eyed dragon in Korean dramas, from a psychological point of view, he is a very arrogant person, rarely experiences failure, and has a fiery temper. This defeat in Goguryeo made him disheartened, and he sighed and sighed many times, and over time, he had physical problems.
Many doctors agree that emotions are the root cause of several diseases. Long-term psychological depression and depression will trigger physical reactions, which is the sequelae of the Goguryeo syndrome.
Secondly, Li Shimin's life was disorderly, extravagant, and his body was gradually hollowed out. Some people may think that he is Mingjun and should not be so. But in fact, it is also normal to be sexually immoral, because "lust is also sexual".
And as the emperor, he enjoys supreme sexual rights, which is difficult to resist**. Historically, many emperors who were overly indulgent were hollowed out at a young age, and very few were able to live a long life, but Emperor Wu of Liang lived to be in his eighties, and he stopped approaching women in his fifties, isn't it interesting?
1.Emperor Wu of Liang became a monk and quit sex, this is a real event in history, if you don't believe it, you can take a look at the following examples. For example, Empress Xiao, the widow of Emperor Yang of Sui, was brought back to the Central Plains after Li Jing's defeat of the Eastern Turks.
Although Empress Xiao was old and decrepit at that time, she still had charm, and she fascinated Li Shimin and immediately included her in her harem. In terms of seniority, Queen Xiao is Li Shimin's cousin, but Li Shimin doesn't care at all.
2.Li Shimin's younger brother Li Yuanji had a beautiful concubine, known as Concubine Yang, who was the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui. After the change in Xuanwumen, Li Shimin was very anxious, lest this beauty fall into the hands of others, so he decisively took his brother and daughter-in-law for himself.
1.The beauty of Empress Xiao and Wu Zetian not only made Li Shimin fall in love with them at first sight, but the fourteen-year-old Wu Zetian was included in his account. And Li Shimin is also very fond of the beauty of the woman surnamed Zheng, and plans to forcibly take possession of it.
However, this relationship ended due to the intervention of Wei Zheng, and finally failed to make the trip. 2.The beauty of Empress Xiao and Wu Zetian made Li Shimin fall in love at first sight, and the fourteen-year-old Wu Zetian was adopted by him.
Li Shimin is also very obsessed with the woman surnamed Zheng, and he plans to forcibly take possession. However, this relationship was shattered by the intervention of Wei Zheng, and ultimately failed. 3.The beauty of Empress Xiao and Wu Zetian made Li Shimin fall in love with them at first sight, and the fourteen-year-old Wu Zetian was taken into his account.
And Li Shimin also coveted the beauty of the woman surnamed Zheng very much, and planned to forcibly possess it. However, this relationship ended due to the intervention of Wei Zheng, and finally failed to make the trip.
4.The beauty of Empress Xiao and Wu Zetian made Li Shimin fall in love at first sight, and the fourteen-year-old Wu Zetian was adopted by him. Li Shimin is also very obsessed with the woman surnamed Zheng, and he plans to forcibly take possession.
However, this relationship was shattered by the intervention of Wei Zheng, and ultimately failed.
Li Shimin's physical health deteriorated due to long-term prostitution. In addition, under the torture of illness, he blindly believed in foreign monks, which eventually led to the use of false longevity secrets provided by Indian monks, and finally died of poisoning.
The cause of Li Shimin's death is not single, although taking the elixir is the direct cause of his death, but it cannot ignore his long-term bedridden experience and lifestyle habits.
Monk Yang's elixir undoubtedly exacerbated his condition, but without these, perhaps his life would have been extended for a few more months.
Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages, died prematurely because of a foreign monk who ran a train with his mouth full, which is regrettable. Wang Xuance couldn't escape the blame, who would have expected that he would bring back such a troublesome big fool that even the emperor's life was put into it.
Subsequently, this foreign monk was expelled from the country by Tang Gaozong, and I don't know how many people he will bring trouble.
