When we study history and study history, many times we think that we must first restore the historical truth and then analyze it. In fact, this process is quite complicated, which has led to a lot of unsolved mysteries of history. The unknown presence of some of these key figures has also caused headaches for historians.
The following author will list the five celebrities who suddenly disappeared in ancient times, some of them are too old to be verified, and some are many wild history legends, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false, so that they are still unsolved mysteries, and one is even legendary to become a fairy. There are men and women among these five, emperors, noble concubines, and poets, and we will look at their legends.
I. The Missing Emperor "Jianwen Emperor"
The only successful case of the Ming Dynasty's rebellion against the king of the ming dynasty occurred in the body of the "Jianwen Emperor" Zhu Yunjiao, who played a good hand left to him by the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and lost millions of armored men to Zhu Di, the King of Yan, who had only one city. When Zhu Di entered Nanjing, a strange fire broke out in the palace of Nanjing, and Zhu Yunjiao also lost track of himself after the fire, neither becoming a prisoner of Zhu Di's account nor finding his body that was determined to be his.
Since then, Zhu Di, who has seized the world, began his footsteps of wandering the mountains and fields to find his eldest nephew, and some people even said that Zhu Di made Zheng He go to the West in order to find Zhu Yunjiao to avoid the consequences. So where did Zhu Yunjiao go? Some people say that he escaped from Nanjing, became a monk, and has since become a green lantern ancient Buddha; some people say that he was buried in the sea of fire, and his face was completely unrecognizable by Zhu Di's soldiers, and some people said that he traveled through time and space, of course, this is the most unreliable.
Second, life and death into a mystery "Yang Guifei"
When it comes to Yang Guifei, people's first thought should be her beauty. The so-called four beauties of ancient China, sinking fish and falling geese, closed moon shy flowers, one of the shy flowers refers to Yang Yuhuan, even the flowers of the national capital are because of her beauty and shy dare not bloom, which shows her charm.
Perhaps heaven was also jealous of her beauty, and her favor with the emperor directly led to the kaiyuan prosperity becoming a flash in the pan, under the corrupt politics of Tang Xuanzong and his brother Yang Guozhong, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the elderly Tang Xuanzong defeated Ma Songpo and killed Yang Yuhuan under the coercion of the guards.
The strange thing is that after Yang Yuhuan's death, the body was actually gone, whether she was dead or someone Li Daitao was stiff, no one knew, so there was speculation that Yang Guifei was not actually dead at that time, but Tang Xuanzong gave her a death to her maid, and she herself escaped a disaster and avoided living overseas. However, the truth is difficult for modern people to verify.
III. The Arrogant Poet "Luo Bin Wang"
I remember that when I was in elementary school, I learned a popular poem "Wing Goose", "White hair floating green water, red palm plucking the waves", and recall that its author is Luo Binwang, who is known as one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty. Luo Binwang was not a simple literary worker, he was also a counselor and a military aircraft, and he was a good writer for writing essays. During the Guangzhai period, King Luo Bin was invited by his friend Xu Jingye to serve as a counselor, and drafted the famous "Seeking Wu Shuo for Xu Jingye" to gather "people of insight" who opposed Wu Zetian's claim to the throne.
Later, Xu Jingye's forces were defeated, Wu Zetian was still honored with the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and Luo Binwang was also reduced to a dog that lost his family, but there are many different theories about his life and death, one is that he died in the rebellion, ordinary soldiers do not know his identity, naturally can not report and kill a certain celebrity, one is that he escaped a disaster through hardships, hiding in the temple to spend his old age, no matter which one, his heirloom works have been handed down.
IV. Exploring the Immortal "Xu Fu"
The first emperor in Chinese history, Qin Shi Huang, was a brilliant emperor and the first emperor to attempt to achieve the goal of immortality through the search for immortals, and the later Emperor Wu of Han, Ming Shizong, and Qing Shizong all effectively imitated his suspicions.
In his later years, Qin Shi Huang was extremely nostalgic in the face of his "great achievements", when Xu Fu told him that there were immortal mountains overseas, it aroused the incomparable interest of the First Emperor in an instant, and he did not hesitate to recruit hundreds of virgin boys and girls across the country, spend a lot of money to give Xu Fu to find immortals overseas, and promised that once he found the method of immortality, he would give Xu Fu a generous reward.
Unfortunately, Xu Fu never returned, and the First Emperor also accepted death helplessly and hastily, and even the things behind him were arranged in a disorderly manner. So whether Xu Fu lost overseas or discovered a new continent, posterity is almost unknown.
V. Taoist Ancestor "Lao Tzu"
Lao Tzu lived in a period thousands of years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is said that Confucius was also one of his students, and his Tao Te Ching is still an ancient classic that has been praised by society.
It is precisely because his age is quite far away from us, his life and death have become unsolved mysteries, coupled with the flood of various myths and legends in ancient times, many times he has been portrayed as the head of the Three Qings of the Taoist worship, Taishang Laojun. In other words, he did not die normally but "cultivated into immortals."
To sum up, we say that the above five celebrities have their own special historical reasons for their life and death, and of course their final destination will dissipate with the long river of history, as for the theory of cultivating immortals into immortals, it is still too illusory, more is just a legend, not a historical truth.
