The three strangest last words in history: it sounds simple, but no one can understand it so far.

Last words are the last words a person says to his descendants before he dies. There are thousands of touching last words of celebrities and generals in history. However, among many last words, three people's last words are the most difficult to read. Although there are not many words, no one has been able to decipher and sort out the exact meaning.

The first sentence: do it well.

"Do it well" was Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's last words before he died. According to the Chronicle of the History of Song Dynasty, on the night of October 19th, the ninth year of Kaibao, he was seriously ill and invited the King of Jin to the palace for deliberation, and no one was around. During the conversation, someone saw Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, leave the meeting place from time to time under the candlelight, and heard Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin poke the ground with an axe and loudly say to him, "Good job!" Sudden death that night, Jin Wang acceded to the throne.

The cause of Zhao Kuangyin's death remains an eternal mystery. Some scholars think that Zhao Kuangyin died of a sudden illness, while others think that Zhao Kuangyin was assassinated by his younger brother. Each has its own evidence, and no one can convince anyone. It is precisely because the cause of Zhao Kuangyin's death has become a mystery that his last words "being good at" naturally have two different meanings. People who think that Zhao Kuangyin died of illness and passed on the throne to Zhao Guangyi interpret this sentence as well done, which means that Zhao Guangyi should do a good job and succeed himself as emperor.

People who think that Zhao Kuangyin was murdered interpret this sentence as Zhao Kuangyin shouted to him before he died: Well done! Or what you did! This means Zhao Kuangyin's sincere anger and shock at Zhao Guangyi's strategy and ambition before his death.

However, because there was no one present at that time and there was no accurate information about what happened, "Let's do it well" was taken out of context, but it is not clear whether Zhao Kuangyin wanted to express that meaning.

The second sentence: the water is close to the mountain, and the treasure is in it.

This sentence comes from Shi Dakai, the wing king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After the Tianjing incident, Shi Dakai was very disappointed and saddened by the struggle for power and interests within China, especially when his family was killed innocently, which led to his disappointment with Hong Xiuquan, the heavenly king. Then he ran away with the troops in a rage and left the headquarters to fight alone in the Qing army. When crossing the Dadu River, the river surged, and the troops were surrounded by the Qing army after failing to cross the river. Being outnumbered, the Taiping Army ran out of ammunition and fell into a desperate situation.

Shi Dakai knew that his death was coming, so he buried the treasure of Taiping Army in a secret place. In order to let future generations find the treasure, Shi Dakai wrote the words "face the water, rely on the mountain, and take good care of it" on a treasure map. Later, Shi Dakai surrendered to the Qing army in exchange for the safety of Taiping soldiers and their families. However, the treacherous Qing court not only killed all the Taiping rebels, but also put Shi Dakai to death in order to feel avenged.

Because all the soldiers who buried the treasure died suddenly, after Shi Dakai was executed by the Qing court, the treasure became a mystery. Although Shi Dakai left eight words for treasure hunting, these words are as difficult to decipher as gobbledygook. In addition, with the passage of time, many landmarks have changed, so the treasure has become a great mystery and suspense in history.

The third sentence: Xingnan

On his deathbed, Lin Zexu, a national hero in the late Qing Dynasty, pointed to the sky and shouted three times, "Stars in the South", and then died. After destroying opium in Humen, the famous minister of the Qing Dynasty was slandered by traitors and exiled to Xinjiang as a scapegoat by the cowardly Qing court. Later, after being put into use again, he has been playing the role of a fireman, running in Manchu. Until he was too ill to walk, Qing * * * still appointed him as an imperial envoy, responsible for encirclement and suppression of Taiping Army. At this time, Lin Zexu suffered from hernia from time to time and could only lie in a sedan chair. When he sprinted all the way to Puning, the old minister's body couldn't stand it any longer and died in a few days.

When Lin Zexu died, he shouted "Stars gather in the South". So what does the south of Starlight Glimmer really mean? No one can say clearly, because these three words are really too difficult to explain. Some people say that Lin Zexu speaks Minnan to remind someone that he has poisoned his food. Some people say that when Lin Zexu died, he wanted to tell Qing that Russia in the north was the greatest danger and should be alert to Russian invasion, but these are people's guesses. I'm afraid only Lin Zexu knows the real meaning!
