Is it really that good to be an emperor?

The son of heaven sitting in the dragon chair looks very glorious on the surface, and it is raining and the scenery is infinite. But in fact they are also a group of people who can't help themselves. The most typical example is: Let's put aside the historical evaluation of his bad king. From the artistic point of view, Zhao Ji is undoubtedly a genius in art, and can be said to be the emperor with the highest artistic attainments in ancient China. His own calligraphy fonts have been made thin gold by later generations, and the paintings handed down from generation to generation, such as Bamboo Birds, Willow Crows, Sketching Rare Birds, and Birds in Loquat Mountain, are all heavyweight exhibits in various museums. Even the historian who wrote The History of Song Dynasty said with emotion that if Zhang Dun's opinion had been adopted, the Northern Song Dynasty might have been another ending. He also said, for example, "If Huizong is not established in the Song Dynasty, though gold is strong, why bother to cut the Song Dynasty?".

As a monarch, Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was obviously a great failure, but he had a very high artistic attainments in his poems, leaving behind such timeless famous sentences as "A spring water flows eastward", "The water falls and the spring goes, and the earth is on earth". He created a new poetic era with words and aspirations, and the bold style of Li Yu's ci style also enjoyed the later bold poets. History doomed him to be an incompetent emperor, but also a versatile poet.

The famous carpenter emperor in history, according to historical records, Comrade Zhu Youxiao once made a wooden model, with mountains and water and people. It is said that there are organs behind the wooden man, and he can move and make it by hand, which is even worse than today's remote control toys. In order to test his own strength, Zhu Youxiao also ordered people to put his works on the market for sale. It is said that he could sell nearly 2, pieces of silver, amounting to several hundred thousand yuan. If he wanted to change today, the brother would not be an emperor and would have made a fortune. However, he is the emperor. There are countless carpenters in Daming, but there is only one emperor, but there is no doubt that whether the emperor goes to be a carpenter or a carpenter comes to be an emperor, he is completely blind and forced.

Of course, there is also a favorite emperor in history. According to historical records, in 1517 AD, Mongolian prince Bo Yan attacked. In spite of the dissuasion of his ministers, Ming Wuzong used personal expedition. The battle of Yingzhou was also a war without detailed description. There are very few historical records, because Brother Zhu Houzhao was secretly out, there were no historians and few literati around him, and he was semi-illiterate. Jiang Bin, Zhang Yong and Wang Xun were all rougher than him, so we can't count on them. The history books record 52 deaths of Ming army and 16 deaths of Mongolian army, and then there is the oral history of Mr. Zhu Houzhao-"I killed one myself!" That's all. According to the records, only 16 people were killed in the battle of Yingzhou. So, Zhu Houzhao was lucky, because his 5, people killed 15 people. According to this probability, he is sure to win the first prize by buying lottery tickets.

? The emperors mentioned above are artists, poets, carpenters, and playful teenagers. They are all good in status, but they are not suitable for being an emperor who rules the world. From the moment they ascended the throne, they are doomed to be a tragedy. ? Some scholars have made a statistic. Throughout the ages, there have been dynasties in China, including unified dynasties and small countries in a corner of peace. There are 611 emperors, of which 339 died of normal death, that is, disease or aging. The number of people who died abnormally, that is, committed suicide or homicide, reached 272, and the abnormal mortality rate was 44%, which was much higher than that of other occupations. Of all the emperors, only 29 have the date of birth and death, and the average age is only 39 years old. At least for life, God is fair, even if he is an emperor! Emperors who lived over 8 years old were: Xiao Yan of Liang Wudi, Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, the founding emperor of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties (June 12, 464-549), and borjigin Kublai Khan, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty (June 12, 117-November 9, 1187). The founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty (1215 -1294) was Emperor Gaozong Aisin Gioro Hung Li (September 25, 1711-February 7, 1799) and Emperor Wu Zetian (December 16, 624-75), and only six emperors were over 7 years old: Emperor Liu Che (July 14, 156 BC-March 29, 87 BC). The founding emperor of Sun Wu (May 21st, 182 -252), Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, the founding emperor of Tang Dynasty (June 25th, 566 -635), Li Longji of Tang Xuanzong (September 8th, 685-May 3rd, 762), Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Dynasty (October 21st, 1328-June 24th, 1398). The shortest life span is that Liu Long, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, sat in the dragon chair just 1 days later, but he died after only eight months as emperor.

The emperors of the Ninth Five-Year Plan have supreme power, but why are their life expectancy generally not high, and a considerable number of people have a miserable fate? According to statistics, as many as 7 emperors died as a result of political struggle or fighting for the emperor, and some emperors died naturally in history, but this may not be the case. For example, Qin Shihuang, Yong Zhengdi, Emperor Guangxu, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Song Taizu, etc., after repeated argumentation by historians, all these emperors who were mighty before their death may have been murdered to death, and we may never know the truth. On the other hand, another reason for the emperor's short life is the supreme rights and extreme material enjoyment of the son of heaven. As can be seen from the above data, those who died over 7 were either the founding emperors or some famous emperors with outstanding achievements in history, so it is natural to say more about their physical fitness. But the pampered emperors are so strong. Most emperors were married early, and generally had wives and concubines before they were minors, pampered and indulged, and indulged in idleness and indolence, which not only made the emperors feel sorry for premature aging, but also made their descendants physically weak, and each generation was worse than the next, and even Han Chengdi died in the bed of Zhao's sisters.

Some emperors attempted to live forever, and were keen on refining and eating "elixir", which resulted in heavy metal poisoning and completed the real "feathering into immortality". For example, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was actually in good health. As long as he can keep exercising, he should run and beat Tai Ji Chuan every morning, and it should not be a problem to live a 7-8-year-old life. However, Jiajing's goal is too ambitious, seventy or eighty? At least you have to live seven or eight hundred to break even. In this way, he began to find nothing to smoke, eating heavy metals and mercury day after day, and also called it the elixir. At that time, Li Shizhen, who was curing too much at that time, advised Jiajing more than once and wanted to help him, but there was really nothing he could do. After all, if we want to divide it into scientific categories, Comrade Jiajing's set should be regarded as organic chemistry, and it was interlaced like a mountain. Dr. Li didn't do chemistry in that year, so he could only help. Finally, our great Jiajing emperor finally took drugs to death alive. The emperor can be said to be the most dangerous job in the world. After all, only standing at the peak of power can he be called a loner, and no one can be trusted except himself. So after reading the above discussion, do you still think that being an emperor is a very happy thing? Cherish the present. Being an ordinary person and being born in peace and prosperity is not a bad luck. ? Thank you for your careful reading!
