The Xianfeng Emperor spent his whole life in a weak body. The palace raised many elk to drink blood to nourish the body. But he died at the age of 31, what exactly was the reason for emptying his body?
Since the Qing Dynasty, the national strength has slowly weakened, one year is not as good as a year, the Little Savings of the Kangqian Dynasty have been slowly destroyed, the Daoguang Emperor is very frugal, according to what I heard, I rarely eat meat, I am also very diligent, and I want to do my best to save the Slowly Declining Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately the ability is not enough, coupled with internal and external troubles, the physical woes, in 1850, the Daoguang Emperor who was nested in the pocket recruited a minister to inherit the throne to the fourth son, the Xianfeng Emperor.
After the Xianfeng Emperor ascended the throne, he also wanted to do the same as his father, worked actively, and personally approved the folding secretly swore to revive the great Qing Dynasty, but he had already decayed from the Daoguang Emperor's next Great Qing, coupled with internal and external troubles, and was powerless.
Xianfeng Emperor's mother Niu Cobalt Lu Clan, only 15 years old for some reason small gave birth to the first daughter, ancient medicine is not very developed although carefully cultivated, but the body still can not make up for it back, unwilling Niu Cobalt Lu clan must have a son out, less than a year gave birth to a second child, but this time it is a baby girl. The imperial family is a mother and a son, and she finally gave birth to a boy in 1831, despite her physical condition, which is the Xianfeng Emperor, but this time she was born prematurely. The palace has a lot of supplements, but can not make up for the Xianfeng is a premature body, the physical condition of the premature child and the normal child is still a big gap, in order to replenish qi and blood, the palace raised elk cut blood for him to drink. In addition to being a premature baby, Xianfeng also has a chronic disease called cough disease, and he often coughs in autumn and winter, which is a big injury. Then something worse happened, the Qing Dynasty princes had a course called horseback riding a bow and archery training, and XianFeng, who was not in good health, unfortunately fell off his horse, which made this weak body even worse.

During the Xianfeng period, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom broke out and occupied many territories, the already decaying Qing Dynasty could not be overwhelmed, coupled with the more unscrupulous generals under it, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacked Beijing like a broken bamboo, the Xianfeng Emperor ordered the soldiers to be strictly guarded, but he hid in the palace, prepared the carriage to prepare for escape. Later, although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom failed, the long-term war caused great psychological pressure on the Xianfeng Emperor, and his body was not as good as a day.
Later, the Second Opium War broke out, the British and French allies went all the way north to drive the emperor out of the Forbidden City, helplessly Xianfeng Emperor signed a treaty of mourning power and humiliation, but Britain and France were not satisfied, in 1860 attacked the Qing Dynasty again, Xianfeng fled to Rehe, the Yuanmingyuan was destroyed by the great powers at this time, the Eight-Nation Alliance snatched the treasures of the Yuanmingyuan and burned the painstaking efforts of skilled craftsmen. The common people at that time cursed this incompetent dog emperor every day.
Burning the Yuanmingyuan
Xian Feng, who had been clean all his life, suddenly found the "posture" of being an emperor in Rehe, singing at night, recruiting singers from all over the world, and immediately getting his hands on it, and every night there was a lot of drama, and drinking was his daily routine. Drinking heavily did not anesthetize him, so he became obsessed with opium and became a slave to opium. In the spring of 11 years in Xianfeng, Xianfeng's cough became worse, and he died on August 22 of the same year. He died on December 31, 31 years old.
