Song Zhezong Zhao Xu died at the age of twenty-four. The truth behind his death was that he did not care for his body.
Song Zhezong, Zhao Xu, passed away at the age of 23 because he died early. He didn't leave many touching deeds, so most people don't have a deep impression of him. But he had a famous younger brother, Song Huizong, Zhao Ji. Not only did he have a touching love story with Li Shishi, a brothel girl, but he also developed thin gold calligraphy. Later, he was kidnapped and went north, and his life was miserable.
It was precisely because of Song Zhezong's untimely death that Song Huizong had the opportunity to become emperor. So why Song Zhezong died suddenly at the age of 23? This is also recorded in the history book "Yuanfu Legacy System". Its symptoms were "uncontrollable semen, and excessive leakage" (Volume 9), and the announced condition was "Since the winter, I had been exposed to severe colds for several times, and became ill, but the medicine was ineffective, and I ended up dying." (Volume 7) < /p>
It can be seen that Song Zhezong's death was due to excessive indulgence, and the coldness was just for the sake of the royal family's face and external rhetoric. The scenes seen by people at that time can also verify Song Zhezong's excessive debauchery. The wife of Prime Minister Lu Dafang saw it with her own eyes: Zhezong "had many maids in the front and back palaces, all of which were amazing in the world. But all four of them had the same makeup and attire." ""
When Zhezong of the Song Dynasty was 17 years old, there was also a search for a wet nurse in the palace. At that time, the minister Fan Zuyu wrote to Empress Dowager Gao with extremely fierce words, pointing out that the emperor was promiscuous. For this reason, Empress Dowager Gao spent those years. The chief maids were summoned one by one for interrogation. The maids' faces were all red and swollen during the interrogation. The details have not been disclosed, but I think everyone should know it.
After Song Zhezong came to power, no one controlled others. At this time, the beauties in the palace were like clouds, and all the beauties in the world were in the bag. It was raining day by day and gentle every night. As a result, his body was completely destroyed. Despite this, he did not leave a son and a half daughters behind. He probably messed it up when he was a child, and no matter how much he did, it would be useless. In the end, the Northern Song Dynasty chose Song Huizong, who was good at everything but could not be the emperor.
Thus, it can be seen that Song Zhezong’s death was not a conspiracy, and it was not an abnormal death if it was not framed by others. It was because he did not care for his body and destroyed his future.
