In film and television dramas, we can often see ministers shouting long live in court! Moreover, it seems that since ancient times, many emperors want to live a long life with Dashan, so that their country can maintain long-term stability. For example, Qin Shihuang, who claimed to be the first emperor, went overseas many times to seek immortality and wanted to get the elixir of life. However, contrary to expectations, Qin Shihuang lived to be 50 years old. ?
Looking at the 559 emperors in the history of China, in fact, there are not many who really live long. Let's take a look at these healthy emperors:
First, Zhao Tuo, the military king of South Vietnam
To talk about this emperor, many people may not have heard of it. But all his contemporaries are famous, and he sent away eight!
Zhao Tuo was originally a lieutenant of Qin Shihuang. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was chaos in the world. Zhao Tuo carved up Lingnan, established Nanyue State and proclaimed himself emperor. After Liu Bang pacified the world, Zhao Tuo's South Vietnam became a vassal state of the Western Han Dynasty, and Zhao Tuo was still the emperor here. Later, after the death of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Lv Hou came to Korea, and the contradiction became increasingly fierce. The two sides fought hard, but in the end, because Lv Hou's soldiers didn't adapt to the climate, the crusade against South Vietnam ended in failure. ?
In BC 179, after the death of Lv Hou, Liu Heng succeeded to the throne, because he sent someone to rebuild the cemetery of Zhao Tuo's ancestors, set up a grave keeper, offered sacrifices on time every year, and gave Zhao Tuo's cousin an official position and property. Zhao Tuo, who had already broken with the Han Dynasty, was persuaded again and bowed down again. In 137 BC (the fourth year of Jianyuan), Zhao Tuo finally died at the age of 103. * * * governs Lingnan for 8 1 year and reigns for 69 years. During the period, from Ying Zheng, Qin Ershi, Zi Ying, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, to Hui Di, Wendi Jingdi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Nine Emperors of the Central Plains, eight died during the period! This emperor is the oldest emperor in history!
Second, emperor Qianlong
Why do you want to say emperor Qianlong here? First of all, Emperor Qianlong was the second longest reigning emperor in history, and Kangxi was the first, only one year away. Unlike Qianlong, Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight and died at the age of 69, reigning for 6 1 year. Ganlong ascended the throne at the age of 25, died at the age of 89 and reigned for 60 years. For the next three years, he was the father of the emperor. The miserable emperor Jiaqing waited so long before he succeeded in becoming king. You know, at that time, he was already 36, which can be said to be unbearable for other children and grandchildren of Qianlong. ? In fact, looking at the emperors in the history of China, we can easily find that the average life expectancy is very short, that is, 30 to 40 years old. More or less because of various reasons, such as hollowing out the body with wine, being killed in robbing the throne and eating by yourself? Elixir? Suicide and so on.
Being a man, you can live longer if you exercise more. The ancient emperors were either busy every day or playing with the concubines in the harem. Naturally, they would not live long!
