Ancient people attach great importance to appearance, for those who have outstanding looks, often look at a few more eyes, sometimes even exempt from capital crimes, compared to appearance, most people will still choose longevity, after all, appearance is short-lived, but longevity can live for a few more years, it is not a big deal to seek more ways to maintain appearance during this time, even the many monsters in "Journey to the West" can not withstand the temptation of longevity, let alone a mortal!
There is such a prime minister, handsome, beautiful, there are many wives and concubines in the palace, but strangely, these women are still virgins, and the prime minister has many eccentricities, drinking their breast milk in exchange for longevity, I don't know if this method is true or false, but he lived to the age of 104, he is Zhang Cang.
Zhang Cang, born in the Warring States period, later in the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Cang committed a crime, in order to avoid being pursued and killed by others, he fled all the way, and met Liu Bang by chance. Therefore, Zhang Cang joined Liu Bang's army as a guest secretary and attacked the Qin Dynasty with Liu Bang, but Zhang Cang was not inferior, or caused trouble, violated the rules of the army, and should be beheaded.
But I have to say that Zhang Cang is a person with a big life, and when he was escorted to the execution ground to be beheaded, a person happened to pass by from here, looked at him a few times, saw that his skin was white, handsome, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance, so he interceded with Liu Bang for him, and then Zhang Cang was able to save his life.
After Zhang Cang's death, he was even more loyal to Liu Bang, and gave him many useful suggestions during the battle. After the Han Dynasty unified the world, Zhang Cang was made an official and knighted, and became the Marquis of Beiping. Due to the fact that the dynasty was just established and there was a lack of capable people, most of the people who fought with Liu Bang were rough people, and there was no ability to govern the imperial court, and Zhang Cang became a rare capable person. Subsequently, due to his good political achievements, he was promoted to the position of prime minister of the dynasty.
After he returned to his hometown, Zhang Cang at this time was already old, his movements were slow, his teeth had long since fallen out, he could not chew food, and he could only live by drinking breast milk. In order to ensure that the milk supply is sufficient, he also has more than a hundred wives and concubines, and the requirements for them are also very high. If it is a person who has given birth or is pregnant, he cannot get close to and no longer drink the human milk provided by these people, so most of the women in the house are still virgins, I don't know if this is the reason, Zhang Cang finally lived to the age of 104 before he died.
