Now different from ancient times, now that medical technology is getting higher and higher, people's life expectancy has naturally become very long, and some long-lived old people living to a hundred years old is not a problem, but in ancient times, they were not so lucky.
Everyone knows that ancient technology is not developed, drugs are few and far between, small diseases are not good to resist a major disease, when people's age is generally not long, let alone a hundred years old, it is estimated that fifty or sixty are considered to be tough, in fact, people's life expectancy at that time is generally low is very normal. After all, there was no such high level of medical knowledge at that time, and at that time, wars, natural disasters and man-made disasters were the reasons for the low life expectancy.
Qin Shi Huang longed for immortality:
Who is most worried about short lifespan? It is true that those who have a lot of power and money, the emperor at that time can be said to be very headache, it is said that at that time Qin Shi Huang wanted to live forever, looking for various doctors to seek ways, but in the end there was no way, all kinds of methods were tried or there was no eternal life, when he died at the age of 19, it can be said that it is quite a pity. In fact, the short life of the emperor is also related to their schedule, let's look at the history of the emperor's life expectancy is generally less than 40 years old? There are 5 reasons, and each one is deadly!
1. Assassination
The emperor's power is great, and it is needless to say to what extent it is so great, the head of a country is naturally a matter of many people's minds. There are elite soldiers everywhere they go, but sometimes it is difficult to escape assassination, according to the statistics of the death of ancient emperors, 43% of emperors died in this way. After all, the throne is really too eye-catching. Who wouldn't want to enjoy endless glory and wealth? Therefore, many people around the emperor cannot believe it, and it is very likely that they will seize power and usurp the throne.
Second, excessive use of the brain
The main thing in a country is to take care of state affairs, to approve and read every day, the country's large and small things need you to determine the criticism, every day big and small things still crush people, thinking is tense every day, they are thinking, domestic and foreign, political wars, the people and generals all kinds of things must be considered, but also have to prevent their own people is not a little bad idea, busy with work all day with excessive brains, this will also have an impact on the body.
Third, stay up late
The heavy work of the whole day is pressed on his shoulders, sometimes the batch can be approved until midnight, day after day is very late to rest, but the next day also need to get up early to go to the dynasty, among which the diligent emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, he spent more time in national politics than sleep time, the original emperor is not simple can do, everyone will have to stay up late in the future.
Fourth, harem beauties three thousand
Needless to say. The emperor's harem is beautiful three thousand, and the beauty is like a cloud. To cultivate many excellent princes to inherit the throne, for a long time the body naturally can not eat, some emperors indulge in beauty, drink and watch the concubines dance, the body is getting worse and worse, more and more weak, this is also a very important reason.
Fifth, the sequelae of close relatives
This point can be said to be the most important, we all know that the marriage of close relatives in ancient times is not taboo, it can be said that it is not strange, in this case, many people do not have a long lifespan, and even many people will die early.
epilogue:
After reading it, do you think that being an emperor is not an easy task, it is not enough to eat, drink and enjoy every day, it is true that as the head of a country, what you do affects your country, and there are many faint monarchs in history who have a very tragic end.
