Chapter 99 Historical Truth
  Zhu Yuanzhang: Anchor, since these two inferences are not the cause of Biao'er's death, what is the most likely cause of Biao'er's death?
  Since later generations of scholars have inferred several causes of Biao'er's death, there must be one most likely cause of death.

Even though this may not be the truth, it should be very close to the historical truth.

As long as he knows this, he can take corresponding countermeasures to prevent Biao'er from making the same mistakes again.

"Compared to the previous two statements with logical loopholes, later scholars have speculated on a cause of death with a probability of more than 98%."

As soon as Su Chen said these words, the ancients in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty all held their breath, waiting for the anchor to reveal the answer.

The probability is more than 98%, which is basically the cause of death that the anchor said next.

Zhu Biao's heart also became nervous, and his eyes were fixed on the live broadcast room.

This is a matter of his life and fortune, so he must take it seriously.

As long as he knows the cause of death, he can find ways to avoid it happening again and rewrite the original historical trajectory.

"The "History of the Ming Dynasty" says that Zhu Biao died of wind and cold. This is the most consistent truth of the matter. According to the inference of later generations of scholars, wind and cold were the cause of Zhu Biao's death."

"At first, the reason why scholars did not admit that Zhu Biao died of wind-cold was because there were two main problems with "History of Ming Dynasty". One was that the illness of wind-cold lasted too long, several months. The other was that Zhang Tingyu, the author of "History of Ming Dynasty" He likes to carry private goods and tamper with history."

Zhang Tingyu of the Qing Dynasty:...

Compiling the history of the previous dynasty is a national matter. Without His Majesty's instructions, he would not be able to tamper with history.

You can't blame him for this. He was forced to do so. He wanted to present the history of the previous dynasty exactly as it was, but His Majesty didn't allow it!
  "It took nearly half a year from the time Zhu Biao returned from Shaanxi after catching the cold to the time he died in Nanjing."

"In the past six months, his illness has been recurring, but Zhu Biao still insisted on handling government affairs. He not only persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to give Qin King Zhu Ping a lighter sentence, but also made arrangements for the follow-up of the trip to Shaanxi, and even planned a draft to move the Ming Dynasty capital to Xi'an."

"From this point of view, the wind and cold did not affect Zhu Biao's normal life, and his daily government affairs were not delayed. In addition, wind and cold are common diseases, and he can be cured quickly by drinking some traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, scholars believe that Zhu Biao was in his prime Won’t die from the cold.”

""History of the Ming Dynasty" was majored by Zhang Tingyu during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In order to cater to the interests of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Tingyu tampered with many places in the history. Many places were also ambiguous and the content was inconsistent and could not withstand scrutiny. This made him It is not highly regarded in the field of history, and many historians do not recognize "History of the Ming Dynasty"

Seeing that the "History of the Ming Dynasty" that he had worked so hard to compile was not recognized by later generations, Zhang Tingyu had a complicated expression and sighed deeply.

He had no choice, he had no choice. He was not willing to have some discrepancies between "History of the Ming Dynasty" and the real history.

However, although there are some flaws, it still restores the true history of the Ming Dynasty in general, and there is no need to deny the entire "History of the Ming Dynasty" just by focusing on one point.

"As a prince, Zhu Biao does not have many life-threatening situations. There is no need to consider other causes of death. In the case where the two conspiracy theories mentioned before cannot be established, the conclusion of death from illness should be the only direction."

"Later, when scholars reviewed the historical documents of the Ming Dynasty, they discovered that such a thing was recorded in the "Guoyan" privately compiled by Tan Qian, a historian in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. This is likely to involve the true cause of Zhu Biao's death."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other. They knew that the point was coming, and they were about to reveal the true cause of his death.

Tan Qian: ...    He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there was something about him involved.

But he didn't record Zhu Biao's true cause of death? Could it be that the host made a mistake?

He recorded Zhu Biao's deeds in "Guo Que". Zhu Biao once suffered from a very serious back sore, but he recovered quickly.

This made him extremely confused. Now that the anchor mentioned "Guoyan", could it be that the cause of Zhu Biao's death was related to back sores?
  "Tan Qian recorded in "Guoyan" that in the sixth month of the summer of Gengwu, Yiwen suffered from severe pain in his back. He kept whining and caressing her with tears. He would not leave for a while day and night. When he heard the whistling, he felt frightened as if he had not given birth. He kissed and sucked it, and it was over. He will recover in ten days."

"The meaning of this sentence is that Zhu Biao suffered from a very serious back sore before he went on a tour of Shaanxi. He was in danger of death for a time. His cry of pain even alarmed Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yunwen sucked his father's sore in person, which made his father recover from the disease. Zhu Yuanzhang's attention."

Zhu Yuanzhang: Anchor, do you mean that Biao'er's death was caused by back sores? But according to records, wasn’t it recovered in the end?
  "He did recover, but we later generations of scholars have speculated from a medical perspective that Zhu Biao most likely died of this real cause."

"The reason why I say this is because back ulcers are caused by bacterial infection. Before the advent of antibiotics, it was difficult to treat. The most difficult thing was to cure it completely."

"In ancient times, back ulcers were mostly treated with traditional Chinese medicine to improve the body's immunity and rely on the person's immune system to eliminate bacteria. This type of treatment is prone to appear to be cured, but in fact there are still lurking bacteria."

"In ancient times, back sores were considered a serious disease, a terminal disease that would lead to death in ten cases. Many famous people died of back sores in history, such as Fan Zeng, Zongze and other famous people all died of this terminal disease."

Fan Zeng:……

Zongze:......

The two of them were originally outsiders, with a mentality of watching the fun, but they didn't want to watch the fun and saw what happened to them.

The two of them immediately held their breath and gathered their energy to see if the anchor had any way to treat back sores.

"Treatment of back sores with traditional Chinese medicine requires not only taking medicine, but also surgery. It also requires long-term treatment after recovery to avoid recurrence of back sores, which can be life-threatening."

"Zhu Biao's back sore was cured in more than ten days. This was impossible in ancient times. It may have been superficially cured, but in fact the root cause of the disease was still latent and it was not completely cured."

"After Zhu Biao ostensibly recovered, he did not stay in Nanjing for treatment, but went all the way to Shaanxi to perform official duties, which created conditions for the recurrence of back sores."

"Moreover, Zhu Biao is similar to Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of work. They are both workaholics. They are busy to death. It is common to stay up all night. The possibility of recurrence of newly healed back sores is very high."

"Perhaps catching wind and cold on the road was the trigger, but it was essentially a recurrence of back sores. Both diseases will cause symptoms of headache, fever and body pain. It is possible that the historian cannot tell the difference."

"So the cause of Zhu Biao's death may be the recurrence of back sores caused by a cold infection. Coupled with his high-intensity work, the treatment was not effective and he eventually died young."

"To sum up, Zhu Biao's death was a relapse of an old disease caused by excessive fatigue, and it is not a conspiracy theory."
