Xue Rengui, also known as Xue Li, was a prominent figure in the Tang Dynasty, who lived from about 614 AD to 683 AD, a native of Shanxi. Xue Rengui was originally an extraordinary family, and by his generation, he had fallen, and because he spent a lot of money to study, not only to learn literary knowledge, but also to find a master to practice martial arts, so that the family disciples were surrounded by walls.
It was also his literary and martial arts that made him shine in later history. At first, he could not show his ambitions, worked in the family farming, went to the local large family Liu family to work, met the Liu family's big miss Liu family, and married and had children.
When Xue Rengui arrived at the age of establishment, he wanted to change his fate by relocating his ancestral tomb, and his wife advised him that now that the emperor had personally led the army to conquest Liaodong, you should go to join the army and enlist, and now is a good time for you to make a meritorious career. So he joined the army and began his legendary life of 40 years on the battlefield.

After returning to the Liao Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered Xue Rengui to guard Xuanwu Gate until he bravely rescued Emperor Gaozong of Tang during a flash flood and embarked on the road of conquest again.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Xue Rengui led an army to fight, first conquering the town of Chifeng, then defeating the 30,000 troops led by Dou Fanglou, and the following year, on the battlefields of Hengshan, Shicheng, and Montenegro, they were all sharp and won victories.

How Xue Rengui died
Regarding the cause of Xue Rengui's death, there are many different theories in history. In the historical records, as well as the TV series that have been adapted and filmed by people and the commentaries of experts, the cause of his death is different. The cause of Xue Rengui's death is still a topic of debate.
Many people know that Xue Rengui was a famous general during the ancient Tang Dynasty in China. In his lifetime, he fought on the battlefield and made countless achievements, which was deeply favored by the emperor Li Shimin at that time, and he held a lot of military power in his hands. However, he was also one of the few people in history who held heavy troops but did not suffer from the emperor's jealousy.
Xue Rengui was originally born into a very prestigious family, but after the passage of time, when it reached his generation, it had no influence.
Later, Xue Rengui married the daughter of the Liu family, but soon after the two became relatives, Xue Rengui joined the army, and the difference between the husband and wife was many years.
There are many legends about Xue Rengui.
However, the novels written by people and the TV series that were changed by those business people are very different from the real Xue Rengui in history. Not even many things can correspond to the real him. There are things he has done, and there are times corresponding to what he has done.
According to the current records of history, he died in the second year of Yongchun, that is, in 683, when he was only seventy years old. After his death, the imperial court posthumously honored him as the General of Zuo Xiaowei, and the government also built a special cemetery for him to escort him back to his hometown. From these statements, we can know that Xue Rengui's death should be normal, not that he was shot by his son Xue Dingshan, as portrayed in the film and television drama. However, for now, no matter what the reason, it is already impossible to verify.

Xue Rengui was an important minister in ancient China and in the early Tang Dynasty, named Li, who was a former official who worshiped the general Zuo Wuwei. Although he was born a civilian, he was praised by everyone for his outstanding military achievements in his life. Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Zhi of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and Li Longji of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang spoke highly of him, and he was born in 614 and died in 683 at the age of 70.
Xue Rengui lived for 70 years, and in ancient society, when it was a long life. He was a high-ranking official of the imperial court, so where was his cemetery? According to records, Xue Rengui's tomb should now be near Mengshan, northeast of the county seat of Jiaxiang County, Jining City, Shandong Province. His tombstone is now nowhere to be found. His tombstone has been rebuilt, and the tombstone appears very solemn. But his tomb was not clearly recorded in the history books, but later when someone rebuilt the tomb, the inscription "Xue Rengui's Tomb" was engraved. Therefore, the tomb of Xue Rengui that exists in the world at that time is not clear whether it is his own tombstone. He followed Tang Taizong Li Shimin on his southern expedition to the north, and his official position was extremely high, and after his death, the tomb was quietly repaired, and no one recorded it. Nowadays, Xue Rengui's tomb has been heavily protected. No matter what his tombstone is, his spirit will never be erased in our hearts, in the long river of history, many people are just a drop in the ocean, and he is as bright as a star. We will always miss him, remember the qualities of him, he was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield like a white tiger, he once regarded death as a homecoming, and he inspired generations of young people.
Xue Rengui's tomb stood silently on the ground of China, and this giant of history slept quietly. He slept, but his spirit, his qualities, never slept, and no matter how many years passed, he still lived in the hearts of generations of people.
