Emperor Xianfeng was young, why did he die at the age of 3 1?

Throughout history, an emperor determines the lifeblood of a dynasty. The demise of many dynasties largely depends on an emperor's ability to govern the country and his life span. Although Emperor Xianfeng was not a great monarch, he did something during his reign. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been diligent in government affairs, selecting and appointing talents, devoting himself to reform, appointing Han officials and developing the new army.

It is a great pity that Emperor Xianfeng died young at the age of thirty-one. It stands to reason that the emperor's life is very good, and 30 years old is also the prime of life. So why did Emperor Xianfeng die young? In fact, this is inseparable from the usual bad habits of Emperor Xianfeng.

An emperor in poor health.

In ancient times, the selection of monarchs was very strict, and a disabled prince was not qualified to inherit the throne. The pursuit of power has always been a hot potato. In ancient times, many people tried every means to prolong their life in order to stay in the official position longer after they acceded to the throne. This is the case with the most famous Qin Shihuang in history. In order to pursue immortality, he sent an alchemist and Penglai for medicine. Emperor Xianfeng, like other emperors who pursue longevity. But unlike other emperors, he was born prematurely and was in poor health since childhood.

In ancient times, people attached great importance to the difference between ordinary and official positions. Ordinary children are born with a lower hall and a lower hall. At that time, Niu Kelu, the mother of Emperor Xianfeng, did not hesitate to take folk remedies to make Xianfeng premature in order to let her son get the status of the eldest son. Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng was born with congenital deficiency, and his physique was very poor from childhood, and it was difficult to improve the day after tomorrow. Keeping warm with medicinal materials can keep you healthy.

Although Xianfeng was born in the royal family and had no worries about food and clothing since childhood, in such an environment, he still could not make up for the harm of premature birth. Because of this, Xianfeng was weak and sick from childhood. I don't know where I heard the prescription. When he is ill, he must use deer blood to treat the disease. After an illness, deer blood was not delivered in time in a hurry. After years of chronic illness, Xianfeng finally died of cough. But congenital deficiency and late drinking deer blood are not the only reasons for his death.

One of the bad habits: With the opium flowing into our country, Emperor Xianfeng became addicted to opium.

The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty, and Emperor Xianfeng was the last emperor in history of qing dynasty. Moreover, during the more than 200 years of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Xianfeng was one of the few emperors who died young. This is not only related to his congenital deficiency, but also related to his own behavior.

During the Qing Dynasty, a large amount of opium flowed into our country. Under the opium dumping of the great powers, the people of Qing Dynasty were quickly destroyed physically and mentally after taking opium, and eventually became slaves of opium. Later, opium was found to be a very harmful thing to the body, so smoking was banned. The Qing royal family instructed the emperor not to smoke opium, and Emperor Xianfeng became infected with opium soon after he ascended the throne. Taking opium for a long time made Emperor Xianfeng weak.

I have to say, "If you don't die, you won't die." Emperor Xianfeng knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and even though he knew that opium was harmful to his health, he chose to smoke opium. This also laid a hidden danger for his later death. Just like modern society, people know the dangers of drugs, and some people will try their best to take drugs. The cigarette case says "Smoking is harmful to health", but you still buy cigarettes. Emperor Xianfeng, like such people, knowingly committed crimes.

Second and third vice: indulge in beauty, indulge in wine.

As we all know, the emperor owns the whole harem of women. But not every emperor has seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards. More importantly, there are only dozens of concubines, and so is the harem of Emperor Xianfeng. However, Emperor Xianfeng was congenitally deficient and weak. He should give up sex and not indulge in it. But he is still lewd, having an affair with concubines every night.

After the funeral, Emperor Xianfeng couldn't wait to organize the draft and enrich the harem. Cixi was also selected by Emperor Xianfeng in the first draft. Sometimes the ladies in the palace can't escape the eyes of Emperor Xianfeng. In this matter, ordinary people still need to control, let alone a person with particularly poor physical fitness. The decline of the body, coupled with too much sex, made his bones more fragile.

Not only smoking is addictive, but also alcohol is addictive. At that time, Emperor Xianfeng liked drinking very much, but he couldn't drink enough. He gets drunk as soon as he drinks, and the more he drinks, the more drunk he gets. It is said that keeping a good attitude is the secret of longevity, but Emperor Xianfeng likes to get angry after drinking, which is harmful to his health.

Although Emperor Xianfeng did something during his reign, he could not save the fate of the Qing Dynasty. How sad it is for an emperor to see his dynasty decline. It may be that drinking and smoking can make Emperor Xianfeng forget the troubles of reality for a while.

Even though he knew that his body couldn't be destroyed like this, mental stress forced him into a degenerate situation. And long-term, a lot of drinking, but also destroyed his body, induced a variety of diseases, almost hollowed out his disabled body. This bad habit haunts you, which is undoubtedly a few "death reminders". How can it last?

The allied forces of Britain and France attacked Beijing and signed a series of treaties that humiliated the country, witnessing the destruction of Yuanmingyuan and the occupation of the imperial capital. After Emperor Xianfeng fled to the summer resort-Jehol Palace, he could never go back. Emperor Xianfeng, who was only thirty-one years old, died young.

It's a long life to live to 3 1 year-old if you have physical defects and ruin your body.

Several hobbies of Emperor Xianfeng are natural enemies of health. According to the historical records: "When you are seriously ill, you have to take a deer confession. You can't be anxious, so you collapse." From this, we can see that if you take good care of your health and are treated by a group of skilled doctors in the hospital, you will definitely prolong your life. However, Emperor Xianfeng didn't care about his health. He is addicted to women, alcohol and opium. No wonder he died young. It can be said that being able to live to the age of 31 is also considered as the longevity of Emperor Xianfeng.

In addition to the congenital deficiency of Emperor Xianfeng, a few bad habits formed the day after tomorrow are the real cause of death. Several of his bad habits are equally fatal to us. In today's fast-paced era, everyone's life is under great pressure. Especially for men nowadays, the work pressure is heavier.

In order to escape the cruel reality, almost everyone has got into the habit of smoking and drinking. Even though I know these things are bad for my health, I still indulge myself. You can talk to someone when you are stressed, and don't paralyze yourself with harmful things such as alcohol. At the same time, I hope that people who have read this article can get a warning.
