How did Li Shimin die? Why are historians embarrassed to record it?

Li Shimin is a good emperor. During his reign, he did many things that benefited the country and the people. As for the historical records of his death, he was very ill, but in fact he was too stupid to commit suicide.

When it comes to excellent emperors in ancient times, several emperors can often be mentioned. Li Shimin is definitely one of them. This man has made great achievements in history. Although he was not the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty, he made great contributions to the establishment and expansion of the Tang Dynasty. It can even be said that half of the Tang Dynasty was shot down by him. Of course, this person is also tainted. The most obvious change is the Xuanwu Gate.

But Li Shimin didn't live long. We all know that this man grew up on the battlefield in the first half of his life. Such a man must be in good health, but his death is also a mystery, and he is very ill. He died suddenly. He ended his life at the age of 52. Then why didn't the history books include this cause of death? In fact, this is a mystery, because Li Shimin died of poisoning. How did this happen?

As we all know, the ancient emperors sought elixir of life, and the most famous one was Qin Shihuang. At the beginning of his succession, he didn't believe in any magic medicine, but with the growth of age, his physical condition declined year by year, and the deposed princes Li Chenggan and Wang also greatly affected his mental health. He came into contact with the magic he once despised. He started taking those pills, which eventually led to his sudden death. Such an ending is naturally difficult to describe, especially when he despised pills so much in his early days. Isn't that just hitting yourself in the face? Historians are naturally embarrassed to record!
