after being on the throne for seven years, emperor thieu tri was sick and died on 4 november 1847 at the age of 41. in his lifetime, the emperor neither thought of his death nor wanted the people and soldiers to waste so much labour and property for him, so he did not have his tomb built. as soon as coming to the crown, his son emperor tu duc had the royal geomancers to seek land for his father's tomb. on february 11th 1848, the construction started, and 10 months later, it was completed.
