There are several theories about the cause of Yongzheng's death: Lv Siniang was stabbed to death, hanged by maids, poisoned by Cao Xueqin and Joo Sang wook, and so on.

More than two centuries after his death, there is a new version about the cause of his death-Taiwan Province writer Levin thinks it is "taking aphrodisiac stimulants, leading to high blood pressure and heart disease, and falling down in the storm".

If this statement can be established, then the aphrodisiac is not Viagra, but power-the highest absolute power of feudal autocratic emperors.

In fact, the real cause of death in Yongzheng should be long-term overwork.

Yong Zhengdi is called "the most diligent emperor in the history of China". Yongzheng's diligence, not only the past emperor, but also the modern leaders can rarely match him. During the eight months of 12, he worked late into the night almost every day. Only on his birthday will he take a year off. And sleep less than 4 hours a day. The comment on writing written only on tens of thousands of memorials amounts to more than ten thousand words 10. Such high-intensity work has greatly damaged Yongzheng's health.

Folk proverb:

1, Yin Zhen was stabbed to death by Lv Siniang. Legend has it that Lv Siniang is the daughter of Lv Liuliang, and some people say that she is the granddaughter of Lv Liuliang. At that time, Lv Liuliang was executed or sent to the garrison because she was slaughtered in the literary inquisition after her death. However, Lv Siniang escaped with his mother and a servant, hiding in the crowd. Lv Siniang learned martial arts from his master, studied hard and practiced hard, especially fencing, and his skills were superb. Later, Lv Siniang disguised himself and entered the palace. One day, he took the opportunity to cut off Yongzheng's head. Or, Lv Siniang's master, a swordsman of Yongzheng, stayed to train female disciple Lv Siniang. This folklore has been circulating for more than 200 years. By 198 1, the underground palace of Yongzheng Tailing Palace had been excavated, but it was abandoned before it was built. But it is said that Yongzheng's coffin has been opened, and Yongzheng's body has no body, which proves that Yin Zhen's head was cut off by Lv Siniang. These legends are made out of nothing and are purely anecdotes of unofficial history. Scholars believe that in the case, the Lu family, men, women and children, have been strictly forbidden and cannot escape. Even the graves of father and son were monitored, and Lu was not spared. Therefore, Lv Siniang's statement about the assassination of Yongzheng is untrue and unreliable.

2. Second, Yin Zhen was hanged by a maid-in-waiting. Chai Calyx's Brahma Lu Cong Lu records: According to legend, in the ninth year of Yongzheng (173 1), Yin Zhen, a maid-in-waiting and eunuch, fell asleep and killed him with a rope before he was saved. This anecdote comes from the true story of Emperor Sejong Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. In the twenty-first year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1542), maid-in-waiting Yang and others "waited for the emperor to sleep, established the emperor's neck, and mistakenly became a fast knot, which was endless." Zhang Gongnv, the assistant commander, was afraid and ran to report to the Queen Fang. The queen arrived, broke up with Silk Group, and the emperor gave up the ghost. She called Xu Shen, a doctor who cured too much, to give first aid. "Ming history? "Biography of Xu Shen" records: "The gentry took medicine in a hurry, prescribed medicine at the right time, and sounded untimely. After removing several liters of purple blood, he was able to speak and recovered after several injections. "Later, Yang and others (zhené) died. Obviously, the temple names of Yong Zhengdi and Emperor Jiajing are "sejong". This story of the Qing Dynasty's Sejong Yongzheng being strangled by a maid-in-waiting is a complete replica of the story of the Ming Dynasty's Sejong Jiajing being strangled by a maid-in-waiting. So the maid-in-waiting Yongzheng said it was body double of body double.

Three, three said Yin Zhen died of taking Dan medicine poisoning. In the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), Yin Zhen was seriously ill. The minister said that "the emperor occasionally has a slight pimple on his chin." What's the disease? I can't say clearly. Yin Zhen once issued letters to his trusted secret officials, asking them to recommend good doctors and Taoist priests: "Pay attention to visiting, there are good doctors in internal medicine and surgery, people with profound practice, or Taoist priests, or Confucian scholars and laymen who preach and teach. ..... while broadcasting news, it is useful to send it to the capital with preferential treatment. " Later, Li Weimi recommended Taoist Jia Shifang to meet Yin Zhen. After that, Taoist Jia was executed. Yin Zhen was interested in Taoist priests and Dan medicine, and rebuilt Taoist temples for Taoist Ziyang. Yin Zhen also invited Taoist Zhang Taixu and Wang Dinggan to the Yuanmingyuan for an alchemy, in order to swallow the panacea and live forever.

Four, four said Yin Zhen died of a stroke. This important conclusion needs historical data to prove.

5. Say that Yin Zhen was poisoned by Cao Xueqin and Joo Sang wook. It is said that Cao Xueqin, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions, has a lover named Joo Sang wook, who is the embodiment of Lin Daiyu. Joo Sang wook was later occupied by Yongzheng and became a queen. Cao Xueqin missed his lover, so he got a job to sneak into the palace, colluded with Joo Sang wook, and poisoned Yongzheng with Dan medicine. This is a fabricated story, which is sheer nonsense.
