Qin Qiong was seriously ill, and Li Shimin sent a doctor**. As soon as she left, Qin Qiong let the medicine be poured.
In traditional Chinese culture, Qin Qiong is regarded as one of the door gods, and his martial arts are outstanding, and he is known as the god of war. However, what is surprising is that although he has extraordinary martial arts, Qin Qiong is very afraid that the imperial doctor arranged by Li Shimin will see a doctor and take medicine for him.
So, why was Qin Qiong afraid of the imperial doctor sent by Li Shimin? That's exactly what we're going to talk about today.
So, why did Qin Qiong secretly dump the medicine to cure the disease after the imperial doctor left? Is there a secret hidden in this? Today, let's explore the little-known story between Qin Qiong and Li Shimin.
Qin Qiong, the god of war with unique skills, is famous in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". However, there are few historical descriptions of his origins, and even the year of his birth is widely discussed.
Despite this, Qin Qiong is not a fictional character in **, but a real character. It was not until 1995 that the discovery of Qin Qiong's epitaph revealed the mystery of his mysterious life experience.
Qin Shubao came from a family of eunuchs, and his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all served as the royal palace chronicler of the Northern Qi Dynasty, similar to a modern master or confidential secretary. Although his three generations of ancestors were all civil officials, Qin Qiong's martial arts were world-renowned.
Who his martial arts teacher was has always been a mystery. Some people say that he was self-taught in the peasant war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and some people say that he was already a rare tiger general when he was in Wagangzhai.
He later followed Li Shimin, as long as the master pointed to the opponent's camp, Qin Qiong could be captured among the millions of heroes, but who he captured, but there was no record in the entire history of the old and new Tang Dynasty, this phenomenon is very strange.
In the battle between Zhang Xutuo and Lu Mingyue, Qin Qiong performed well and successfully attacked the enemy's camp at night, destroying dozens of Lu Mingyue's camps. This is a bureau set up by Zhang Xutuo to lure Lu Mingyue to chase and kill, and after Lu Mingyue returned to help, he fell into Zhang Xutuo's preset ambush.
Qin Qiong had already succeeded at this time, and immediately reinforced Zhang Xutuo and directly eliminated Lu Mingyue's rebels. This is the only battle example written by Qin Qiong in the history of the former Tang Dynasty, and it is also a typical strategy of encirclement and reinforcement.
In Qin Qiong's military career, we once again felt the true meaning that choice is more important than hard work. Before meeting Li Shimin, Qin Qiong had also experienced many things, and once followed Zhang Xutuo to conquer the Wagang army.
However, after Zhang Xutuo died in battle, Qin Qiong was accidentally attracted by Li Mi and joined the Wagang Village, which had been the enemy before, and after the victory of the Wagang army over Yu Wenhua, Li Mi began to lose himself and only thought about being the emperor, but was defeated by Wang Shichong, and Qin Qiong was also captured.
But what is surprising is that Qin Qiong was not imprisoned, but was worshiped by Wang Shichong as a general, such a role change is dazzling.
Wang Shichong's cunning completely disappointed Qin Qiong in his treatment of Li Mi. Although Li Mi's behavior is not so glorious, in Qin Qiong's opinion, capriciousness is not the demeanor of a husband.
In the confrontation between Wang Shichong and Li Yuan and Li Shimin's Tang Army, Qin Qiong and Cheng Qiong turned against the Tang Army in front of the Jin Formation and directly defected to the Tang Army, which brought him new opportunities. His merits are illustrious, enough to be selected into the ranks of Lingyan Pavilion's meritorious heroes, and Qin Qiong's performance is indisputable.
In the early Tang Dynasty, during the rise of Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son, talented figures such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling naturally came to the top, but if there were no fierce generals like Qin Qiong who fought hard under the leadership of Li Shimin, the establishment of the Tang Dynasty might have been delayed for many years.
Although Qin Qiong left a deep imprint on history, his true light was revealed at the critical moment of the Xuanwumen coup. In 618 AD, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, established the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, opening the prelude to a new chapter in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuan had a total of 22 sons, which also made him an outstanding representative of all emperors who had many sons and grandchildren. His eldest son, Li Jiancheng, was later made the crown prince, and the second son, Li Shimin, served as the leading marshal in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the third son, Li Yuanba, is strong in martial arts, he has a close relationship with his second brother. The fourth son, Li Yuanji, has followed Li Jiancheng since he was a child, so the relationship between them is also very close.
And the next dozen or so younger brothers were not born at the time of the Xuanwumen Change.
The change in Xuanwumen is actually the embodiment of Li Shimin's wit and courage. As the second prince, although he missed the crown prince, this is not his fault, but just the arrangement of fate.
In order to change his fate, Li Shimin took the initiative to attack, with the help of Qin Qiong and other capable generals, shot and killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji at Xuanwumen, and finally succeeded in seizing the Tang Dynasty.
His bravery and resourcefulness have left a deep mark on history.
According to historical records, Li Jiancheng was jealous of Li Shimin's merits and often spoke ill of him in front of his father, which made Li Yuan suspicious of him. In order to protect himself, Li Shimin was forced to fight back and successfully eliminated ***
Although the history of all dynasties was written by the victors, it is difficult to say that the Xuanwumen Revolution was not a bureau set up by Li Shimin. The historical records record that Li Jiancheng first provoked the incident, and the truth of this was only known to the emperor Li Yuan himself at that time.
Next, Li Shimin forced the palace, and Li Yuan had no choice but to take the Zen position in advance, which obviously illustrates the problem. In fact, the disaster of Xiao Wall has always been a common problem of emperors in all dynasties, whether Li Jiancheng first smeared Li Shimin, or Li Shimin replaced him out of nothing, in short, in the end, Li Shimin won and began his Zhenguan rule.
History is always full of irony, Li Shimin finally ascended the throne, and Qin Qiong, who made great contributions to the Xuanwumen Change, fell ill because of this and could only recuperate at home, which was twelve years.
Recalling his eighteen years of struggle, from Wagangzhai to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he almost never rested, and fought on the battlefield for many years, and his body was already exhausted, and it is not surprising that he was sick.
Thinking deeper, is this because of his heart disease? He once shot the crown prince Li Jiancheng with his own hands, and Li Jiancheng's younger brother Li Shimin witnessed this scene with his own eyes at the scene, this incident made Qin Qiong himself feel a little unreasonable, whether he felt guilty because of this, only he knew.
The problem does not end there, Li Shimin does not seem to hold himself responsible, after all, each is his master. However, only Li Shimin and Qin Qiong know about this matter, and whether Li Shimin will suspect Qin Qiong or even kill people is a feasible inference.
After all, the initiator of the Xuanwumen incident was Li Shimin, and Qin Qiong did not dare to shoot the prince even if he had ten guts. So, the problem came again, the secret of the Xuanwu Gate Change can only be kept by the dead, even if Qin Qiong is a martial artist, he also understands this.
King Qin ascended the throne, and Qin Qiong was ill for many years. Knowing that the cadre was seriously ill, Li Shimin sent the imperial doctor to visit the patient, and the imperial doctor decocted the medicine, and Qin Qiong struggled to send him away. Back in the house, Qin Qiong first poured out the medicine, because he was worried that the medicine might be mixed with other substances.
Looking back on Qin Qiong's contribution to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, I feel the relationship between the monarch and the minister even more. Twelve years later, Qin Qiong was seriously ill and finally died.
Qin Qiong skillfully pretended to be sick and successfully won 12 years of life for herself.
