Throughout thousands of years of history, anything strange has happened, including the cause of the emperor's death, and some people have specifically studied it. The ancient emperor's method of death was basically the following two: one was normal life and old age, illness and death, and the other was to die by taking the wrong medicine by trying poison. The emperor who died in bed was mainly sick and died.
However, there was a Xiaowu Emperor named emperor who was so different, it can be said that he died the most unjustly. Because he died in his own pet bed, what was the cause of death? It was so ridiculous, so to speak, that he was covered in bed by his pet concubine. Some people say that he is self-inflicted, and it is precisely because of this special method of death that Emperor Xiaowu, who was not very famous in the past, became famous in history.

I think that Emperor Xiaowu ascended to the throne at the age of 11, but unexpectedly, he died at the age of 35. During his reign, he devoted himself to the administration of the national court and attached great importance to good subjects. Not only that, he also boldly introduced reform and rejuvenation, which was popular with the people of the world for a time and received rave reviews.
Emperor Xiaowu liked to drink, often got drunk, and did not go to the court the next day, no matter what the national event was. Fortunately, the imperial court had the empress dowager to help watch, and there were also good ministers like Xie An. Therefore, in the early period, basically Emperor Xiaowu did not affect the development of the country because of drunkenness, and was still so prosperous.
Later, Emperor Xiaowu found that Xie An's power was getting bigger and bigger, as an outsider had such a lot of power, there was a very serious security risk to his throne, and he would endanger his throne every minute. In view of this situation, he began to think about how to deal with the matter, and after much thought, he decided to cultivate his own power.
Emperor Xiaowu's first move was to start by reusing his younger brother. However, the good times did not last long, and he returned to pleasure and ignored the government at all. I thought that my brother could help him solve the problems of government and politics, but who expected that the two brothers were actually drinking friends, and the two often drank together to enjoy themselves.
Soon after, Xie An died, and the imperial court was left unchecked, and no one dared to compete with the brother of the emperor who controlled the government. The younger brother became more and more arrogant, and even the most important and basic way of the monarch seemed to have forgotten. At this time, Emperor Xiaowu understood this situation and began to consciously estrange himself from his brother, but he did not say it explicitly, but only secretly did some work.
For his younger brother, he had no idea what Emperor Xiaowu thought. Unconsciously, the younger brother's name was reduced, and the power in his hands was also recovered. At this time, his younger brother realized something strange, and he was very angry, and decided to fight with Emperor Xiaowu to the end. However, there is still the empress dowager behind the control, and after the two have coordinated with the empress, the relationship seems to have eased a lot.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > two, jokes</h1>
Solving his brother's problem, Emperor Xiaowu continued to drink and enjoy himself, and his dead nature did not change. At that time, he had a favorite concubine named Zhang Guiren. Emperor Xiaowu was very fond of her, even though the woman was 30 years old, but she was in good shape and well maintained. Most importantly, she was able to hold the emperor's heart and keep Emperor Xiaowu interested in her.
One day, Emperor Xiaowu and Zhang Guiren drank together, and the wine and beauty were together, and Emperor Xiaowu was happy and unconsciously drunk. Suddenly, he joked with Zhang Guiren, saying that the other party was thirty years old, his figure was not as good as before, and he now liked other concubines.
Zhang Guiren, who was originally very happy, was stunned when he heard Emperor Xiaowu say this about himself. Especially after Emperor Xiaowu finished speaking, he immediately laughed and played with the other concubines. Just said that he was old, and immediately flirted with other women, and Zhang Guiren, who was jealous, was very angry.
Zhang Guiren, who was angry at the time, did not notice that Emperor Xiaowu was joking. This playboy wants to make the other party angry by joking, and sometimes men look very cute when they look at women jealously. Emperor Xiaowu was such a person, but unfortunately, the speaker had no intention of listening to the person with a heart, and Zhang Guiren was angry.
For Zhang Guiren, Emperor Xiaowu said this about himself, and it seemed that he was indeed old. In ancient times, women who were generally 30 years old were relatively old. At this time, Zhang Guiren looked at the other concubines, although it was not as good as his own beauty and figure, but the people were better than young, and they might already be in a state of old and yellow, no wonder the emperor had abandoned himself.
Zhang Guiren had even thought in her mind that she would be beaten into the cold palace soon after, which was the last thing she wanted to face, and it was also a big problem that she had been worried about. Speaking such words from the emperor's mouth, it seems that his life has been changed since then, and his abandonment is estimated to be the final result.

Just because of a joke by Emperor Xiaowu, Zhang Guiren thought about it for a long time and became desperate about his future. After thinking about it, she decided not to miss the old love and killed the emperor. That night, Emperor Xiaowu, who was so drunk that he came to Zhang Guiren's bedroom to fall asleep, did not expect to lose an imperial life.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Guiren took advantage of Emperor Xiaowu's coma to cover him alive with the quilt on the bed. She stayed until the next morning, when she began to cry bitterly. After the others came, Zhang Guiren began to perform, announcing to the outside world that Emperor Xiaowu was scared to death in a dream, because the emperor had nightmares.
Some people may think that such an explanation seems to be less than satisfactory, after all, there are doctors and there are also master case solvers. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Guiren, who was with Emperor Xiaowu, should be suspected. However, the ministers who had always been dissatisfied with Emperor Xiaowu knew that after the emperor's death, perhaps they already knew the truth, but they only turned a blind eye and passed the matter like this.
For Emperor Xiaowu's younger brother, the death of the eldest brother was exactly what he wanted. Perhaps for him, not only not to pursue the crime of murder, but also to be grateful for the help of the other party. Otherwise, how can I have a chance to ascend to the throne? However, for Emperor Xiaowu, it was a joke to lose his imperial life, which was indeed a pity.
Emperor Xiaowu of the Tang Dynasty, because he liked to drink, ignored the government and politics, and dreamed of death every day. As a result, he spoke carelessly and let himself lose his life, which is sad. Some people say that his death is indeed absurd and makes sense. History records that Sima Daozi, who was in charge at that time, directly expressed his position and did not hold anyone responsible.

As the leader of the state, Emperor Xiaowu did not put his mind into the governance of the country and was not responsible for the affairs of the country. He only knew how to drink, and as a result, he lost his authority and had no deterrent at all.
Just because of his own joke, the noble man dared to kill him, which shows that this is a very snug emperor. It may be said that death is death, which is not a pity. Years later, this absurd history is still remembered by the common people, and Emperor Xiaowu is also famous. It's just not a good name, but a notorious name.
Sometimes a person has to know how to do things, even the emperor, because we have no idea which tomorrow or accident will come first. There should be boundaries between people and things, depending on the situation. Speak more carefully, so as not to cause trouble, otherwise there will be a danger to life.
