1, high pressure
The throne is hereditary. Since ancient times, it has been "self-help, not for virtue; It is expensive to set up a son, but it is not long, which makes the prince sitting on the throne often not the smartest and most powerful. "And the emperor was elected by the imperial examination, and he was the smartest and most powerful official in the country. Every day, they naturally have great pressure to go to court.
2. Too much sex
The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and there are many beautiful women in the harem. It's hard not to consume energy. For example, Zhu Zaihou, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was addicted to harem women all day. He felt "weak" when he appeared in court and "dizzy" when he sat on the throne. After six years as emperor, he "ran out of oil and lamps".
3. Poor physical fitness
When I became an emperor, I was pampered, without proper exercise, and my physical fitness was very poor. For example, Judy's son Zhu Gaochi died after ten months in power. It is said that people need help when they are fat.
4. Poor medical conditions
Many common diseases in ancient times were incurable, and medical equipment was extremely simple. Even the emperor accidentally contracted typhoid fever and tuberculosis, which could not be treated, and could only get worse and worse until his death.
5. Lack of health awareness
Many emperors want to be longevity emperors, but they don't pay attention to health preservation. Instead, they are obsessed with Taoist alchemy and try to achieve the goal of immortality through "elixir". Taking too much elixir containing toxic substances such as mercury and cinnabar is easy to die.
