Li Shimin has always been physically strong in his early years, why did he live to the age of 51 and die? In fact, the reason is very simple

Li Shimin should be one of the "famous" emperors in Chinese history, and his influence in history is no less than that of Kangxi, who is known as the emperor of the ages, kangxi laid a solid foundation for the "prosperous era of Kangqian", and Li Shimin's "rule of Zhenguan" brought the early Tang Dynasty smoothly and quickly into the right track, you must know that although the Sui Dynasty ended the division of nearly three hundred years and formed a great unification, the rule time was short, the Central Plains was still a depression and civil strife, and finally achieved peaceful and stable development in the hands of Li Shimin.

Since ancient times, many historical celebrities have been born with visions at birth, and important historical figures like Li Shimin are naturally indispensable to his "gimmicks". It is said that when Li Shimin was born, he "had two dragon plays outside the door of the museum and went away in three days", and he all knew the extremely high status of dragons in ancient times, which was the emperor's special "pet", and when Li Shimin was born, there was a vision of "two dragon play beads", which showed that Li Shimin was born with the life of being an emperor.

In addition, metaphysics prevailed in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, such as Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, who were representatives of that period, when a scholar who could look at the picture saw the young Li Shimin and said: "The posture of the dragon and phoenix, the table of heaven and sun, the year will be twenty, will be able to help the world and the people", once again affirmed Li Shimin's imperial order, his father Li Yuan heard such an evaluation, and named him "Shimin".

Li Shimin was born first, and then had the posture of a dragon and phoenix, it seems that fate is destined to be the material of the emperor, and Li Shimin also lived up to expectations and showed extraordinary talent from an early age, not only intelligent, but also expressed unique personal opinions, informal, and became the leader among his peers, in contrast, his eldest son and brother were inferior to him, which was only in the civil rule.

In terms of martial arts, Li Shimin should be second only to Li Jing, the god of war, in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties. Li Shimin's family background is not extraordinary, in the Northern Wei period of the Northern And Northern Dynasties, there was a famous "Guanlong Group" in history, this group is a warlord-based eight major power family, also known as the "Eight Pillar State", Li Shimin's ancestors are one of the Eight Pillar State, therefore, in the Sui Dynasty period, in the dynasty are all prominent figures.

Li Yuan had military power in his hands, although in the late Sui Dynasty, various rebel armies began to rebel, but Li Yuan had a thief's heart and no thief's guts, Li Shimin was different, privately recruiting troops to buy horses, pouring silver money to win over all forces, and even some of the big thieves in the rivers and lakes were only his leader, and at this time he had already seen his excellent leadership ability. After that, Li Shimin instigated his father Li Yuan to raise an army, and Li Yuan half pushed and half turned against the Sui Dynasty, and from then on, Li Shimin's wonderful performance of conquest of the north and south began.

If the Sui Dynasty generals did not have any elite talents, then there was no shortage of brave people in the uprising, such as Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, Shan Xiongxin, etc. all died at the hands of Li Shimin, and even the Turks that were difficult to deal with were defeated by Li Shimin. At that time, his brother Li Jiancheng had become the crown prince, but compared with Li Shimin, who had made great achievements in battle, he was simply not too inferior, and even Wei Zheng could not see it, forcing Li Jiancheng to eat Li Shimin's "leftovers", which barely had some credit.

It can be seen from this that Li Shimin is an excellent general with all-round talents in civil and martial arts, no wonder it will be seen that he has the "posture of a dragon and phoenix", but at this time, Li Shimin's strength is strong, after all, he cannot withstand the ancestral system, and a sentence of "standing up for a long time" will make him lose the position of prince, watching his brother Li Jiancheng sit and enjoy his success, and he himself can only be a king of Qin.

Li Jiancheng was also dissatisfied, and after sitting on the throne of the crown prince, he believed that Li Shimin's younger brother was his biggest hidden danger and obstacle, so he joined forces with another younger brother, Li Yuanji, to target Li Shimin everywhere. First he bribed concubines in the palace to help him blow the wind in his ears, so that Li Yuan did not want to see Li Shimin, and then suppressed the "Qin Wang Party", and Li Shimin's men were either degraded or released, until Li Jiancheng began to calculate Li Shimin's life, Li Shimin had to intervene.

Li Shimin launched the "Xuanwumen Revolution" with the principle of starting first and being strong, the crown prince Li Jiancheng was shot by him personally with a bow and died under the horse, staged a tragedy of fratricide, Li Yuan was forced to zen under the pressure of Li Shimin, and finally Li Shimin succeeded in ascending to the throne, although the means were somewhat disgraceful, but he was also helpless, he was completely out of self-preservation. At the same time, it can be seen that Li Shimin's martial arts are superior, indicating that he has a good physique, and only a strong body can allow him to play a good battle skill at will.

Just did not expect that such a brave and warlike Li Shimin only lived to the age of 51 and died, even in ancient times 51 years old is not considered longevity, after all, there is the identity of the emperor there, eating and wearing are the best, physical health will have the care of the imperial doctor, how can he be so short-lived? In fact, the reason is very simple.

In the early years, Li Shimin's body was indeed strong, otherwise he would not have made great achievements, but he also paid a price for it. Marching and fighting can not be injured, especially Li Shimin participated in and commanded the cruel war of life and death, his body has left dark wounds in the early years, even if the surface is healed, but as he grows older, some old diseases will inevitably recur, which seriously affects Li Shimin's physical health.

If Li Shimin had maintained him well, he would have lived for a few more years, but in his old age, he was bent on longevity, just like Qin Shi Huang began to be obsessed with Dan Medicine, and his indiscriminate medical treatment accelerated his own death process, and he knew that there was mercury in the Dan Medicine refined by the ancient jianghu warlocks, which belonged to a kind of slow poison, and after a long time, he would be poisoned and die, but Li Shimin was fascinated by this way.

When Li Shimin knew that there was a Brahmin monk who was good at this way, he was convinced that taking Dan Yao every day, Dan Yao could bring him a superficial appearance of improvement and energy, in fact, they were overdrawing and eroding his body, and after a long time, the medicine stone had no soul, and finally Li Shimin's life expectancy ended at the age of 51.

Li Shimin was a wise and confused man, and he showed brilliant political achievements for most of his life, but in his old age, he insisted on going his own way and superstitiously believing in the elixir, it can be said that Li Shimin first deliberately ascended to the throne, and then he lost his life in a deliberate way.
