In his early years, Li Shimin was critical of Taoist alchemy and sneered at the practice of seeking immortality everywhere. In his later years, Li Shimin, like other emperors, searched everywhere for elixirs and potions.

In 642 A.D., Emperor Taizong hunted many times, and every time he returned with a full load, which proved Li Shimin's compulsive constitution. Since the second year, Li Shimin's physical condition has been getting worse and worse. From AD 643 to AD 649, there was only one hunting activity in Li Shimin, which showed that Li Shimin's physical condition was not as good as before. Li Shimin has been depressed since he was demoted. Seeing his beloved two sons exiled, he fell into deep remorse. Since then, Tang Taizong's physical condition has become more and more worrying, and Tang Taizong began to take Dan medicine for his health. According to the book Zhenguan Dignitary, Emperor Taizong had a great dependence on Maifanshi because of indigestion. Later, Emperor Taizong decided to introduce medical stone from abroad. In order to cater to Emperor Taizong's preference, the minister of the DPRK recommended an Indian warlock to him. In 649 AD, the Dan medicine refined for Emperor Taizong was completed. Cui Dunli took the Dan medicine and gave it to Emperor Taizong, who was seriously ill. According to the warlock's request, Emperor Taizong took Dan medicine for three months. Later, Emperor Taizong was unwell and invited a physician to treat him. His condition is worse than before, and he was poisoned by taking a lot of Dan medicine. Two months later, Taizong died at the age of 52.

She is the daughter of Sun, a general of Sui Dynasty. When Sun Qiang was eight years old, her father died. Later, the eldest grandson was adopted by her uncle. When she was 13 years old, she married Li Shimin. After marrying Li Shimin, the eldest grandson of the Queen was thrifty and knowledgeable, and was highly praised by his family. Probably because his father fought all the year round, the Queen's eldest grandson especially supported and understood Li Shimin and sometimes discussed military strategy with him. The eldest grandson of the queen is a respected wife. She is knowledgeable and helps Li Shimin solve problems. Li Shimin married many wives in his life, and Shu Xian, his eldest grandson, took care of Li Shimin's harem respectfully.

Later, for the sake of Li Shimin, the eldest grandson tried to win the trust of Li Shimin. When Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Uprising, his grandson personally comforted the soldiers who were about to go to war and cheered them up. In 66, Li Shimin successfully killed his companion, and was later proclaimed emperor by Li Yuan. In the same year, the eldest grandson was made the princess of the Crown Prince, and after Li Shimin ascended the throne, she was made the queen. Queen Sun Qiang is the mother of a country. She is virtuous and binds others with her own actions. After the death of his eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong built a tall building overlooking his burial place from a distance.

After entering the palace, Xu Hui's talent was deeply favored by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and was posthumously sealed as all-round. In political affairs, Xu Hui's bold suggestions won the appreciation of Li Shimin. After Li Shimin's death, Xu Hui was unhappy and finally died at the age of 24.
