Empress Wutian was the only female emperor in Chinese history, and this only one was, of course, the recognized emperor recorded in the historical records. Although in the end, she still entered the ancestral hall as an empress dowager after her death, but even the Tang Dynasty recognized this as emperor. Although her methods were fierce during her reign, it was only for the courtiers and royalty, but it was very good for the people, so her political achievements during her reign were also very eye-catching. Moreover, this empress only ascended the throne at the age of sixty, reigned for nearly twenty years, and died in her eighties, not to mention the emperors of the past, even if she is a long-lived person in modern society.
Why did Wu Zetian live such an old age? First of all, because she is a woman, or a woman who is no less than a man's heart, she has been trying to run up since she entered the palace as a talent, and she was not satisfied with being an empress, and finally ascended to the throne. Think of that era when women lived very depressed, coupled with the low medical means, various natural and man-made disasters, so the life expectancy of people at that time was really very short. But living in the imperial palace, which is the best place in the country, the best talents in various resources and medicine are also in the imperial hospital, so the emperor's life expectancy should be the most guaranteed.
However, because men often have to fight, and the emperor's harem women also need the emperor to be pampered, plus many emperors like to eat some strange refined Elixirs, like to play some taboo games, to know that there may be heavy metals in the Dan medicine, the game will also damage the body if played too much. And Wu Zetian, because he was a female emperor, and because his means had always been very tough, he directly killed him if he disobeyed. In this way, his mentality has always been very open, not entangled, and the body will naturally not have too much problems when the mood is good.
Moreover, the female emperor herself could have some knowledge of medicine, coupled with the maintenance methods such as the medicinal diet carefully prepared by the imperial doctor, making her as charming as a middle-aged beautiful woman in the year of the flower armor. Moreover, she also gathered many beautiful teenagers in the harem to sing and dance to herself and make herself happy. Such a life followed her wishes, and at that time, there were capable ministers such as Di Renjie in political affairs, which was considered to be a political and human communication, so she could always face various problems with an optimistic attitude.
In addition to the above reasons, there is a more important point, except for those who died unexpectedly, other people in the martial family are relatively healthy and long-lived, especially the mother of the Wu family, Old Lady Yang, who was from the imperial family of the Sui Dynasty and was also a long-lived person. This old lady was even more powerful than the empress, and lived to be ninety-one years old before she died, and today she is a real old birthday star. Therefore, it is understandable that Wu Zetian can live a long life after becoming emperor; However, this inheritance cannot be imitated by others.
