On the one hand, when an emperor is busy with state affairs, he has to worry about the affairs of the whole country. Can mental stress be small? There is no monarch in history who doesn't stay up late to approve the memorial, the emperor doesn't rest according to his schedule, and no one dares to remind him that after a long time, it is to humiliate his body.
Another, the emperor's power is supreme, and it is naturally easier than ordinary people to enjoy luxurious food and make friends with beautiful women. Think about it, the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, other ladies in the palace, three thousand rare beauties, and female monks who pay tribute outside the palace. So many beautiful women, it takes ten years to change one in one night. Once the emperor indulges in the gentle countryside of the harem, he is easily hollowed out by wine and color. A dissolute emperor usually doesn't live long.
In addition, when the emperor wants to live forever, some emperors want to eat an alchemist, because they have been addicted to the gentle town of wine and color for a long time, their bodies have been seriously overdrawn, and men's functions have begun to deteriorate. Whether it's an elixir or an Omega Supreme Pill, do you still want to live forever after eating something refined from sulfur saltpeter? Life is folded for ten years.
There is another reason, I don't know. In ancient times, emperors were usually very young when they gave birth to princes. When the emperor was in his 40 s, the prince was probably in his 20 s, so he probably wanted to get addicted to it himself when he saw that the emperor was so cool. Then I secretly pulled my dad down with a little trick.
