In ancient times, although people would always say the word "long live" to call them emperors, they were still ordinary people in the end, and it was impossible to really live for a thousand years.
Like every ordinary person, they will have insomnia, eat, and have all kinds of large and small diseases, and because of their special status and responsibility, many emperors not only live for a short time, but also very short, even many ordinary people are not as good.
In order to be able to take good care of their bodies and let these heavenly sons live a little longer, they need to be accompanied by one kind of person often, that is, the Tai Doctor. Tai Doctor is often the most skilled person in the country, they are responsible for treating the emperor, conditioning his body, and preventing the emperor from being poisoned and assassinated. Because what these tai doctors do is directly related to the emperor's dragon body health, such an important thing must be able to gain the emperor's trust to do, and trusting this kind of thing the emperor generally does not easily pay, so there are so many emperors who blame the tai doctor for killing the tai doctor as soon as there is an accident.
But in the Ming Dynasty, there was a Tai Doctor who was very different, he not only won the trust of the emperor, but also won the trust of five emperors in a row. From Ming Taizu all the way to Ming Xuanzong and five generations of emperors, they were full of appreciation and trust in him, which was also a very magical thing, and the name of this doctor was called Xu Shu. His father was also a very famous healer, he had developed a strong interest in medicine under the influence of his father since childhood, and he was indeed very talented, and after completing his studies, he became a more powerful healer than his father.
Perhaps it was because his medical skills were unparalleled in the world, he had helped several emperors solve many problems, and the whole country could not find anyone who could replace him, so he had been serving the emperor in the palace, and he had been working until he was eighty years old. He felt that he was old enough to live for a few years, so he thought of telling his old age to go back and enjoy the last time.
Although the emperor was very reluctant, he did not force it, and finally gave him a palace maid as a concubine, and two eunuchs to take care of him. When he died at the age of 86, the palace maid and eunuch even buried him.
