In the feudal period, the imperial power was supreme, and the emperor was a person who covered the sky with one hand in ancient times, and the power was great in controlling the life and death of the people, as well as the inexhaustible glory and wealth and the harem beauty of three thousand.
Therefore, the common people are very envious of the emperor's life, and everyone has an "emperor dream" in their hearts, but is the emperor really so good?
The truth may not be so, want to be a good emperor, in addition to superior political means, but also know how to govern the country, the emperor is rational day by day, light folding every day there are times when the approval can not be finished, tired and tired and not to mention can live a long life.
During the feudal period, the emperor often did not pay attention to the body, when the emperor could live a long life, there were very few people, but during the Qing Dynasty, there were two emperors who lived longer, they not only had superior means of governing the country, and even lived longer than the emperors of previous dynasties, these two were Kangxi and Qianlong.
So why live so long? What is the secret of this, let's analyze it.
Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, pro-government at the age of 14, reigned for 61 years, was the first emperor in Chinese history to reign for such a long time, and Kangxi did many big moves during his reign, such as overthrowing Aobai, leveling the Three Domains, and repelling Tsarist Russia's reunification of Taiwan.
It is reasonable to say that Kangxi is so busy with diligent government, his body should have been eaten long ago, coupled with kangxi's childhood also had a fatal smallpox, others may have died of illness or overwork, why Kangxi is so long-lived.
Of course, it was precisely because he did not die of smallpox when he was a child, and empress xiaozhuang chose Kangxi as shunzhi's successor, so Kangxi noticed how important it was to have a good body, so he paid great attention to maintenance in his daily life.
Although the full table of The Manchu Han dynasty is standard in the royal family, Kangxi's diet on weekdays is still based on light "vegetarian food", and his two favorite foods are eggplant and millet, such as the minister who is sick and he sends people to visit, usually bringing millet to the door.
Kangxi ate only seven points of each meal, never greedy, and most of his recipes were simple and common foods, he said: "Since the ascension to the throne, all the dishes have been common food everywhere. ”
Not only that, but there is actually a reason why Kangxi can live a long life, that is, he quit a bad hobby, which is a bad habit that many people have today: "smoking".
The literary scholar Li Boyuan once mentioned in the "Notes on the South Pavilion": "Beijing's high-ranking officials are addicted to tambar and 10 and 89."
The so-called "Tamba" is tobacco, the northern winter is extremely cold, men smoking has long become a habit, Huang Taiji also briefly quit smoking for a period of time, but after the Manchu Nobles entered the customs, this habit became popular again.
Kangxi grew up around these people since childhood, so he learned to smoke when he was young, and not only that, he would also spit out smoke rings in a different way.
What made Kangxi decide to quit smoking? Here to talk about two things, the first is that when Kangxi reviewed the recital fold, he accidentally dropped the smoke on the recital fold, but he did not expect to burn the repertoire at the end, his body was not a big problem, but the recital was burned.
Another reason was that Kangxi smoked too much, always coughed, and the more he got at night, the worse he became, and once he almost didn't come up with a breath and almost sent himself away.
Kangxi quit smoking and led by example to persuade the Wenwu officials to quit smoking with him, and Qianlong was Kangxi's grandson, and his lifelong idol was his grandfather, so he followed Kangxi's example no matter what he did.
Therefore, Qianlong was also a long-lived emperor, who reigned for 60 years, and then abdicated as Emperor Taishang for three years, at the age of 89.
Qianlong also had a smoking addiction when he was young, he would pick up a cigarette to smoke twice, and he would smoke before going to bed, because of long-term smoking, which caused tracheal discomfort and often coughed, until the doctor diagnosed that Qianlong's lungs were not good, which was caused by smoking.
After Qianlong, who was desperate for his life, heard this, he immediately asked the eunuch to take away all the cigarettes, but he did not expect that Qianlong's health was getting better and better after quitting smoking, he was a person who coveted pleasure, and it was impossible to see himself dying because of smoking, so he directly quit smoking and changed this bad habit.
Because of this, Qianlong only lived to the age of 89, and now quitting smoking is not easy for many people, but there are also successful cases, but it is only a few people, if you also have such a habit, I hope to quit it quickly, otherwise it will affect not only myself but also my family.
