From ancient times to the present, people have been very eager for immortality, especially those in power. Looking back on the past, the Qin Emperor Han Wu spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find the elixir of immortality, to refine the elixir of immortality, of course, no matter how much they invested and how much they spent, they could only be a bamboo basket to hit the water, and this history has proved to us.
When he was young, Li Shimin actually always felt that Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han longed for immortality, which was very stupid, and even in the first year of Zhenguan, that is, when he had just ascended the throne, he told his subjects: Immortals are vain and vain, and they have empty names. It can be seen from this that Li Shimin in the early days did not believe in immortality. However, as wise as Li Shimin, he was finally deceived, listened to the words of the alchemist, and began to look for the elixir of immortality, and the result was naturally nothing.
Thinking of the history of Emperor Wu of Han who, in order to live forever, was stupid enough to marry his daughter to a Taoist monk, Li Shimin came to the conclusion that "according to these two things, the gods and immortals do not bother to ask for it", and began to realize that human life is limited, and there is no immortality at all.
As he grew older, the Tang Dynasty grew better and better every day, but Li Shimin's health was weakening day by day, and coupled with his son's indisputable anger, Li Chengqian was deposed as the crown prince, which was a big blow to Li Shimin. Under all kinds of pressure, Li Shimin even moved the idea of taking his own life. In fact, when people are healthy, disease-free and disaster-free, there is a high probability that they will not superstitiously believe in what cattle, ghosts and snake gods, but when people are entangled in diseases and seek medical drugs with little effect, they may have to start looking for other hopes.
Li Shimin is like this, feeling that his body is not as good as a day, and recalling his youthful vigor of being a golden iron horse and fighting on the battlefield, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that if his physical condition can be like when he was young, how good it should be, and he begins to long for eternal life.
In order to revive his strength, Li Shimin took many tonics, but there was no effect, and he turned to the elixir that he despised most when he was young. The Chinese Taoist elixir was of no use at all, and Li Shimin felt that he might not have much time, when a "foreign monk" appeared, and he was Wang Xuance. Wang Xuance is also a legendary figure, he was persecuted by the local king when he was on a mission to Tianzhu and died many teammates, but after Wang Xuance escaped, with the help of the Tang Dynasty's seal letter, with the help of Tubo and Nepal, he washed Tianzhu in blood and captured Aluoshun and other Tianzhu leaders alive.
However, Wang Xuance's battle record can still be shown off in front of ordinary people, and in front of Tang Taizong, it is really a small witch, Li Shimin is dismissive of his achievements, but he is very interested in the naluo in the captives. It is rumored that he lived for 200 years, and the immortal wind Dao bone will be able to immortalize. Of course, these rumors came from the mouth of Narasimha herself, and naturally they were not credible. But at that time, Li Shimin, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, or who was cornered, had no choice, and his judgment also declined, and naturally listening to the wind was the wind, and listening to the rain was the rain.
The Chinese elixir had no effect on Li Shimin, so he did not hesitate to try the "foreign monk" elixir, but he did not expect that it was actually this elixir that claimed to be able to live forever and wanted his own life. The elixir turned out to be a life-killing pill, and after Li Shimin took it, instead of realizing the dream of immortality and immortality, his condition worsened, and he died two months later.
A generation of Ming Jun turned out to be this way of dying, so even the most intelligent people have times to be stupid. The reason why modern old people will be deceived is that it is not difficult to find that they actually have the same psychology as Li Shimin. Therefore, as children, we must always be vigilant, accompany our parents more, and after discovering that our parents have been deceived, we must enlighten them well and tell them that these things are not credible.
