Tang Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne at the age of 28 and reigned for 23 years, why did he sud

Tang Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor through the Xuanwumen Change, and was only 28 years old at the time. One of the greatest emperors in the history of our country, he single-handedly created the Tang Dynasty, ruled for 23 years, and ended at the age of 51.

Li Shimin often personally led the army to fight, resulting in frequent injuries in the war and falling ill. In the early days of his ascension to the throne, Li Shimin was a diligent ruler. In order to govern the world, he often worked hard, often stayed up late, and his physical condition gradually declined.

Li Shimin ascended the throne through the Xuanwumen Change, which is an untouchable scar in his heart. In order to avoid conflicts between brothers, he made Li Chengqian the crown prince very early. However, Li Chengqian relied on Li Shimin's affection for him, and often acted arrogantly and brutally to the people, which aroused Li Shimin's dissatisfaction.

He was worried that Li Chengqian would follow Li Shimin's old path, and warned Li Chengqian many times to restrain himself. Li Chengqian not only did not relent, but became even more unscrupulous. Li Shimin turned to appreciate Li Tai, which made Li Chengqian jealous and wanted to seek a usurpation of the throne.

Fortunately, someone denounced him in advance, Li Shimin took precautions, Li Chengqian failed to usurp the throne, and demoted him to a concubine.

Li Chengqian's rebellion made Li Shimin very chilled. And Li Tai is a weak person, seeing that his children are not as good as one, Li Shimin is very sad. Psychological pressure and the impact of his physical condition have caused Li Shimin's health to deteriorate.

At this time, in order to live forever, Li Shimin hoped to prolong his life through pills.

In 649 A.D., Wang Xuance brought from Tianzhu a monk who claimed to be able to refine the elixir of immortality. Li Shimin was very happy when he saw the monk, and felt that he was immortal, so he believed the monk and asked the monk to refine the elixir for himself. After briefly understanding Li Shimin's condition, the Indian monk finally succeeded in refining the elixir after a few days of boiling.

A few days after Li Shimin took the pill, he felt that the effect was not bad, and the symptoms of physical discomfort disappeared. After being happy, he asked the monk to continue refining the elixir, and after eating it a few times, Li Shimin suddenly foamed at the mouth and died with a whimper.

History writes that the cause of Li Shimin's death is that he died of illness, but after research, history is likely to have been poisoned because of taking pills. Li Shimin once ridiculed Emperor Qin's Han Wu for indulging in pills, and in order to save face for Li Shimin, he wrote that he died of illness.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin died of illness. Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Zhenguan 23 years, died in Hanfeng Palace, died at the age of 52, reigned for 23 years, the temple name Taizong, buried in Zhaoling. In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong fell ill, and the treatment was ultimately ineffective, and Li Zhi was ordered to go to Jinyemen for state affairs.

On the twenty-sixth day of May in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Taizong died in the Cuiwei Palace Hanfeng Hall on the Zhongnan Mountain. Emperor Wen at the beginning, the temple name Taizong, was buried in Zhaoling. In the first year of Tang Gaozong, Emperor Wenwu was added to the Emperor of Wenwu, in the eighth year of Tang Xuanzong Tianbao, and in the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Emperor Wenwu was added to Emperor Guangxiao.

Li Shimin was born in the martial arts annex, joined the army as a teenager, was good at riding and shooting, and once went to Yanmen Pass to rescue Emperor Yang of Sui. He was the first to advocate Jinyang to raise troops, and was named the Duke of Dunhuang County, and was good at using soldiers. After entering Chang'an, he was worshiped as Shang Shuling, the right military general, and was named the Duke of Qin.

Mainly because of the alchemy in the later stage. <>

According to historical records, after Tang Taizong Li Shimin became the emperor, he became the king of a country. Although he did not have as many opportunities to personally lead troops into battle, he often led his princes to hunt, and the frequency remained basically once or twice a year. In the six years from the sixteenth year of Zhenguan to Li Shimin's death, historical records record that Li Shimin only went out hunting once.

He led troops to fight outside all the year round, begging from east to west, sleeping in the open air, and living and resting irregularly. And he was often injured on the battlefield, which caused him serious physical damage. Li Shimin, who often rests in the wild, suffers from a rheumatoid disease.

At that time, there was no specific medicine for this disease, and rheumatoid was not effectively relieved. In addition, during the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin fell off his horse and was almost strangled to death by Li Yuanji with a bow and arrow. In his later years, Qin Qiong said that he had fought all his life and shed blood dozens of times.

Although Li Shimin was not as brave as Qin Qiong, it was inevitable that he would be injured and bleed. <>

Originally, the Tang Dynasty was a dynasty with a strong atmosphere of refining pills. There are many records in history about this, including the famous Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, who also indulged in the search for immortal medicine. Moreover, at that time, the Tang Dynasty court also set up a position similar to the "national teacher", which speculated whether the country would have a disaster by observing the natural environment.

In such an atmosphere and background, although Li Shimin knew that none of the previous emperors had cultivated the pill, he still believed that the pill could be cultivated. Moreover, Li Shimin's mentality at this time was already very urgent, and he was no longer willing to wait.

Some drugs do have a certain refreshing effect, which makes Li Shimin mistakenly think that they have been effective, so he began to take them all the time, but in fact, excessive consumption can also cause damage to body organs. The main ingredient of the pill is mercury, which is known to be harmful to the body. After taking pills on a large scale, even cattle couldn't withstand it, so Li Shimin, whose physical condition had not recovered, also became sicker.

Because the life expectancy of ancient people was very short, and Li Shimin took medicine indiscriminately, he would suddenly die at the age of 51.

Good fellow, you learned history from your math teacher, right? Leave this 1-1 behind.

Li Shimin picked it up, and he opened his eyes to the fact that Tang Taizong was not in the spring. Is it to ask him to "kill myself"?

You're very knowledgeable about history.

According to other historical sources, Li Shimin's death was due to dysentery at this time. But he was only in his early fifties at this time, and if the dysentery was serious, why did he leave Chang'an and come to Zhongnanshan Villa. Moreover, there was no record of him being seriously ill before.

His death was sudden.

According to modern scholars, the reason for Li Shimin's early death is also related to the campaign he launched in 645 AD to conquer Goryeo.

According to Goryeo history, during the Liaodong War, Tang Taizong was shot by a poisoned arrow from the Yan people and died a few years later. At that time, the Tatar people participated in the war as helpers of the Koreans. Li Shimin's abnormal behavior after that is indeed very similar to the sequelae after being shot.

Historical sources have very obsequiously pointed out that Taizong's temper became irritable and he suffered from a kind of debilitating illness of exhaustion, so that many daily tasks had to be done by the crown prince. Although in his early years he had repeatedly ridiculed the emperors of the past who had been obsessively seeking immortality and elixirs, he now tried desperately to alleviate his ailments, and he also found an Indian sorcerer, Narasa**.

Is it easy to fight from birth to death of a horse? Li Jiancheng of its horse is a bird, why did he get the world of Lao Tzu. In addition, Lao Tzu is so capable of fighting, if Li Jiancheng becomes the emperor, can he spare Lao Tzu, and he must prevent Lao Tzu from committing crimes and abolishing Lao Tzu.

It's not easy for my brothers to follow me, but not for the little King Qin.

Did he die too early? Lived to be 50 years old, which was not a short life in ancient times. It is a bit of a coincidence that Qin Shi Huang also returned to the west at this age.

For a long time, Tang Taizong took pills to seek immortality, but died of illness at the age of 52. (imaginary years).

In the twentieth year of Zhenguan (646), when he returned from the battle of Liaodong, Tang Taizong fell ill and has been recuperating since then, so he began to take the Jinshi pill refined by Fangshi. Previously, Tang Taizong had also laughed at Emperor Qin's Han Wu for being obsessed with magic and seeking pills, and now he couldn't help but fall into it. To Zhenguan twenty-one years (647 years), Tang Taizong got "wind disease" again, irritability and fear of heat, so he let people repair Cuiwei Palace at the peak of Lishan Mountain, the second year, sent someone from Zhongtianzhu to get Fang Shi Na Luo Su Po Sleep, because of taking the "medicine to prolong life", the result of the condition continued to deteriorate.

In May of the twenty-third year of Zhenguan (649), he died. He was only 51 years old. Taizong's death became a mystery.

In the later years of Tang Taizong, with the prosperity of his deeds and the increase of his age, he began to foolishly pursue immortality and take pills. In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, he took the pill of the Indian priest and died of a violent illness.

For the sake of immortality, he died in alchemy.

This issue is still controversial in the historical circles. It is generally said that Taizong was poisoned by pills and died. As for the reason for taking the pill, it is probably nothing more than treating injuries and diseases, seeking longevity, and loving beauty. This is what I read a few years ago in a long-ago journal of historical research.
