Why did Li Shimin, who was brave and good at fighting when he was young, die at the age of 51?

It must be because he worked too hard as an emperor, taking care of all opportunities every day, and didn't pay attention to rest, and finally became ill from hard work, and it was too late to heal.

I guess being an emperor is too much work. It is not easy to lay down the country and stabilize the country. As a result, the disease was overworked, could not be cured, and died relatively early.

First, Li Shimin worked too hard to be the emperor. The second is that medicine was not developed at that time, and he may have had some diseases that could not be cured at that time, so he died relatively early.

Although Li Shimin was brave and good at fighting, his body was tired in battle, and he needed to sleep in the open air to fight, so he died at the age of 51.

The main reason is that when you are young, you consume your body too much, like traditional Chinese medicine, health care has said that you must not overindulge yourself when you are young.

Because when you are young, you don't pay too much attention to maintaining your body, which means that your organs will age prematurely, so you will die at the age of 51.

I think it should be Li Shimin, who didn't care about his body too much when he was young, and then let his body deteriorate, and after becoming the emperor, he took care of everything.

Because I was too hard when I was young, I fought every day, and then I thought that these problems might have caused a lot of damage to my body.

Li Shimin lived to be 52 years old and died of illness.

Li Shimin (January 28, 598 [January 23, 599] - July 10, 649), ancestral home of Chengji, Longxi (now Qin'an, Gansu), a native of Longxi Didao (now Lintao County, Gansu Province), and a native of Julu County. The second emperor of the Tang Dynasty (reigned 626-649), a statesman, strategist, military strategist, calligrapher, and poet.

Li Shimin joined the army as a young man and went to Yanmen Pass to rescue Emperor Yang of Sui. He was the first to advocate Jinyang to raise troops, worship the right to lead the army to the governor, and was awarded the title of Duke of Dunhuang County, led the troops to break through Chang'an, worshiped Shang Shuling, Guanglu Doctor, and was awarded the title of Duke of Qin and Duke of Zhao. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he led the troops to pacify Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Heimin and other separatist forces, and made great achievements for the establishment and unification of the Tang Dynasty.

On the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude (July 2, 626), he launched the "Xuanwumen Rebellion", killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji, and was canonized as the crown prince. On the ninth day of the first month of August, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan abdicated, and Li Shimin became the emperor, with the year name Zhenguan.

On May 26, the twenty-third year of Zhenguan (July 10, 649), Li Shimin died in Hanfeng Palace, at the age of fifty-two, reigned for twenty-three years, the temple name Taizong, and the name Emperor Wen (later added to the Emperor Guangxiao of the Great Sage of Wenwu), and was buried in Zhaoling.

Died of illness

In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan (649), Tang Taizong fell ill and ordered the crown prince Li Zhi to go to Jinyemen for state affairs.

On the twenty-sixth day of May in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan (July 10, 649), Taizong died in the Cuiwei Palace Hanfeng Hall on Zhongnan Mountain. Emperor Wen at the beginning, the temple name Taizong, was buried in Zhaoling.

The above content refers to Encyclopedia-Li Shimin.

Li Shimin only lived for more than 50 years for the following two reasons:

1.Perennial war, accumulated hard work: As a person who really helped the Li family to build a country, Li Shimin has been at the forefront of expanding the territory since he was able to get on the horse.

In the course of the southern conquest and the northern war, the food and rest in the army could not be as regular and reasonable as at home, and coupled with the uneven climate in various places, Li Shimin's body would inevitably accumulate various chronic diseases. In addition, historians have put forward a yet-to-verifiable claim that based on studies on the causes of death of generations before and after the Li family, it was found that each of them had a stroke at some point, which may indicate that the disease originated from a male genetic disease in the Li family's bloodline. Therefore, Li Shimin's death may also be related to complications caused by this genetic disease.

2.After the defeat of Goguryeo, his health has not been very good, and he has become addicted to recuperation: After the defeat of Goguryeo, Li Shimin's physical condition has not been very good, and he has become addicted to recuperation. This also led to his physical condition deteriorating, eventually leading to his death in his 50s.

In short, the reason why Li Shimin only lived to be more than 50 years old may be due to his chronic illness accumulated over the years of fighting and the fact that his health has not been good since the defeat of Goguryeo.

In the years after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin often went to war, and most of the time he did not live in Taiyuan, just like the generals on the front line, Li Shimin's combat effectiveness was also very strong. No matter how fierce the battle is, no matter how careful you are, there will always be people who are injured in war. So Li Shimin must have a lot of scars on his body.

As a result of these injuries, many diseases can also occur. When you're young, you can put pressure when you're strong and gradually emerge when you're older. When you are old, you are weak and cannot accept these diseases naturally.

has irregular living habits, does not sit on the throne, and spends most of his time for conscription, taking the road of conscription.

When you join the military, you can't go to bed on time like you would at home. Just grab this little gap and you can take a break. Time flies.

Because he was the commander of the army. After becoming emperor, Li Shimin was very diligent, and many memorials did not have special circumstances. He endured it almost late into the night, staying up late to rest seriously damaging his health.

In the past, Li Shimin's health was naturally not good.

There is another theory that Li Shimin, like other emperors, wanted to live forever in his later years. Because, wanting to live longer, wanting to live forever, and indulging in the art of immortality. But Li Shimin is different from other emperors, he maintains some rationality, because as a Ming monarch, he must maintain a certain degree of rationality.

He didn't send someone to Penglai Island to look for the elixir, but he went to find some Taoist priests to help him refine the elixir. We know that we had such an experience during the Qin Dynasty, but more than 800 years of history of the Qin Dynasty have passed. The technique of alchemy has changed.

We know that mercury is a highly toxic. And this is the main ingredient in the elixir.

If you take this pill for a long time, you will definitely be poisoned. Li Shimin died in his prime, in addition to the eye injury in the battle, he also had some relationship with his body, of which long-term use of the elixir was the most direct reason.

This was due to some physical ailments and the fact that he was too overworked, which led to a very early death.

Mainly because he has so many things to worry about. There are a lot of things to deal with every day, which makes him very irritable. And he had to worry about his head all the time.

Because he has suffered a lot of injuries, he has left sequelae, and his health is not very good.

How long it will take is sometimes not completely dependent on that life, this is not something to worry about, and the life span of a person is sometimes difficult to say.
