Emperor Taizong lived a dissolute life in his later years, catching monks and alchemists.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, became king at the age of 28 and reigned for 23 years. He accepted the lessons of the demise of the Sui Dynasty, made efforts to gradually pacify the country, and became stronger than ever before, and began the famous period of "Zhenguan rule" in history.

But after more than ten years as an emperor, he became accustomed to a comfortable and enjoyable life and gradually became extravagant and corrupt. He restored the luxurious palace built by Yang Di in Luoyang.

He once occupied Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and chose the daughter of the late minister Yong Yong 14 as a talent, and named her Mei, that is. In his last years as emperor, he was uncharacteristically superstitious about divination and obsessed with Dan medicine, and died young at the age of 52.

After twenty-two years of observation, white stars appeared many times in the sky during the day. This was originally a natural phenomenon of celestial movement in the universe, but Mou divination said it should be in the' golden age'. Li Shimin also heard the secret in folklore that "after the Three Tang Dynasties, the monarch Wu Wang took over the world", which can keep Li Shimin awake. How could his Li Dynasty be replaced by "King Wu"?

Therefore, he will do his best to find this' King Wu' and strangle him in the cradle. There was a general named Li Junxian named Zuo Wuwei. Wulian county is just unlucky again. In his official rank, title, native place and position, there is a series of four characters of "Wu": "General Zuo Wuwei" accounts for one, and "Duke Wu Lian" accounts for one. He is also a native of Wu 'an County, and he is the guard of Xuanwu Gate in the north gate of Miyagi. Taishigong's divination should be on him, and it can't be better.

It happened that his parents named him' Wu Niang' when he was a child, hoping that he could support himself. The homonym of' five' and' five' just involves the taboo of mistress. Li Shimin is superstitious about divination, so he is crazy. He threw himself at Li Junxian and demoted him to Iowa as an assassin. Later, he was still not at ease, so he used it as an excuse to kill him. Li Junxian didn't know what he had committed until he died, and became a victim of Li Shimin's superstition.

For twenty-one years, Li Shimin suffered from a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. After half a year's treatment by a physician, the patient has recovered a little and can go to court every three days. If you continue treatment and improve at the same time, you may gradually recover. However, at this time, he fell in love with the alchemist's refined alchemy medicine, hoping to live forever. First, he took Dan medicine refined by domestic alchemists, but it didn't work. He thinks that domestic alchemists are shallow, so he sends people to visit foreign experts everywhere.

In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, Minister Wang Xuance captured an Indian monk named Narol Shupa in a foreign war. In order to cater to Li Shimin's desire for eternal life, he devoted himself to Li Shimin. The Indian monk boasted that he was 200 years old, specializing in the art of immortality, and vowed that if he took the elixir of immortality, he could live forever and even soar to heaven in broad daylight and become a fairy.

His nonsense really touched Li Shimin, so he arranged for Indian monks to stay in a luxurious inn. Every meal was sumptuous, and a large group of servants waited on him every day. His life is no less than that of the emperor.

When this guy found out that Li Shimin believed him, he made a strange list of medicines in a serious way. Li Shimin ordered the world to collect all kinds of medicines and stones according to this list. No matter what the cost, he will sacrifice everything, as long as he can buy the medicine prescribed by Indian monks, even if he is in a sea of fire.

A year later, when the medicine was ready, Li Shimin was very happy and ate all the medicine without hesitation. Results At about 7 o'clock, he died of bleeding and poisoning. At this time, he was only 52 years old, and he was the first emperor in China history to be poisoned by elixir. He didn't stick to it carefully, so he left this world absurdly, sadly, foolishly and prematurely.
