Xianfeng Why did the emperor die at the age of 31? September 29, 1860: During the Second Opium War, Emperor Xianfeng fled from the Old Summer Palace and arrived at the Rehe River. He ordered Prince Gong to be the imperial envoy to seek peace from Britain and France.
There are many reasons, and everyone should also take it as a warning.
First, I am born weak and don’t pay attention to exercise.
Xianfeng is a premature baby . He was weak and sickly when he was born, but fortunately he did not die prematurely.
Maybe because of poor health, Xianfeng liked quietness and not movement since he was a child. Manchu nobles often did not like reading, but liked sports such as horse riding, archery, hunting, and wrestling. Xianfeng was just the opposite.
has not liked these since he was a child, which led to his poor riding and shooting skills. He was almost disliked by his father Daoguang and threw away the throne.
In addition, because of his poor riding and shooting skills, Xianfeng fell off a horse and broke his leg when he was a teenager.
50% of the recovery of fractures in that year depended on luck, but Xianfeng was left with lifelong disability and became a cripple.
After getting disabled, Xianfeng disliked exercise even more, which led to his weak body.
Xianfeng was raised by Concubine Jing and died at the age of 31. The younger brother of Xianfeng, who was raised by Concubine Jing, loved training all his life and died happily until he was 67 years old. He is more than twice as old as his brother.
Second, suffering from chronic diseases and cannot be cured for a long time.
Historical records show that Xianfeng had a problem of coughing up blood, which was not serious.
Because it is not serious, Emperor Daoguang didn't care much about it. After all, Daoguang doesn’t have many sons, most of them are sick, and Xianfeng has already calculated it.
Unexpectedly, after Xianfeng ascended the throne, he was depressed and his desire to indulge himself, his coughing of blood quickly worsened.
It seems today that this kind of perennial coughing of blood is no small matter.
Modern medicine believes that most of the coughing of blood is caused by lung problems, such as various lung inflammations, tuberculosis, , embolism and even tumors.
Xianfeng's lung disease is not contagious and is likely to be a tumor or the like.
Even benign tumors are still a serious disease today and cannot be treated at all in ancient times. As the tumor grew bigger and bigger, Xianfeng's lung function became worse and worse, and he continued to cough up blood, and eventually died suddenly at the age of 31.
Third, depression, indulge in alcohol and sex.
Xianfeng was a bad guy. Since he became emperor in 1850, the country has not been stable for one day, nor has it been stable for one day.
He had just taken power for one year, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom started in 1851.
has caused trouble for more than ten years, resulting in a 400 million population reduction in China's population of 100 million. The Northern Expedition troops of the Taiping Army once fought near Beijing city .
Just fighting the Taiping Army consumed 450 million taels of silver, while in 1840, the annual fiscal surplus of the Qing Dynasty was only 3 million taels. It is necessary for a real surplus of 150 years to support this military expenditure. The huge pressure on military expenditure alone almost brought down the Qing Dynasty.
That's not counting. In the north, there were Nian Army roaming, the northwest and the northwest, the Central Plains and the northwest were in chaos, and in the south, there were Tiandihui and ethnic minority armed forces and other uprisings everywhere. The chaos inside
is okay. The imperialist powers were aggressive and kept causing trouble. Finally, in 1856, they launched the Second Opium War and captured Beijing City and burned the Old Summer Palace.
Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty has never been defeated by the enemy in the precedent of the capital. Even the Ming Empire was the capital that fell when the country was destroyed. Xianfeng could not even keep his own capital. This humiliation was huge and the psychological pressure was extremely great, enough to crush a person.
From becoming emperor to death, Xianfeng was always in a situation where internal and external troubles, military situation was in a hurry, finances collapsed, and internal and external political struggles were very fierce.
If anyone changes to anyone, it will be difficult to ensure health in such a terrible environment. Worry and boredom all day long will kill people.
Xianfeng can only relieve himself by drinking alcohol and women, but he has no self-control. In the movie " Schindler's List ", the Goth Captain thinks Schindler is amazing because he has strong self-control and often drinks but never gets drunk.
Schindler was finally able to escape unscathed and left his reputation for eternity, while Captain Goth was hanged.
Xianfeng did not have Schindler's self-control. He often drank and was drunk every time, which was very harmful to his body. This person has a very poor alcohol taste. Once he gets drunk, he will go crazy and orders to beat the eunuchs and palace maids around him. Even the palace maids who are usually favored will often be beaten or even beaten to death.
Xianfeng is very good at women. There are as many concubines with higher status as 18, and there are also a large number of women with low status.
Xianfeng's indulgence is similar to today's sexual addiction. He requires women to sleep with him every day, and it is not enough to lose one day. The Qing Dynasty ruled that the emperor asked women to sleep with him at night. Xianfeng was so lustful that he broke the rules and even let women sleep with him in broad daylight. Even a young and strong man may not be able to withstand such indulgence day and night, let alone a person who is not in good health.
Fourth, take tonics and smoke smoke.
Emperor Xianfeng became so indulgent, and his body became even weaker soon, and his ability decreased significantly in his 20s.
Like many men today, Emperor Xianfeng began to take a lot of tonics, especially like deer blood.
What is the use of deer blood? "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Deer blood is responsible for impotence, replenishing deficiency, and relieving low back pain."
The aphrodisiac used in Xianfeng is more than the one with deer blood.
"Tianye Yewen" records: "There are dozens of aphrodisiacs in the forbidden area, and this is the first. Even if the eunuchs take it, they can also suddenly become human. If you interact with a woman, the medicine will be weak and the medicine will be restored to its original state."
We know that it is a medicine that is three parts poisonous, especially the ingredients of these aphrodisiac drugs are unknown, and many of them are toxic in themselves.
20 Xianfeng turned into a medicine jar, and it was difficult for his body to not be damaged.
In addition, it is to smoke big cigarettes.
It is not uncommon for Xianfeng to smoke big smoke. His father Daoguang has been obsessed with opium for many years. Daoguang wrote about the feeling of smoking opium: New Shao is free, sitting alone in a small vegetarian restaurant, and the new snow is sunny again, the garden is beautiful every day, and only studying red and reading history every day, doing nothing outside, and when tired, he ordered his servant to smoke the smoke pipe again and again, and suddenly felt clear and happy. In the past, people said that wine has the virtue of the whole, but now I call it smoke "Ruyi". laugh!
This is the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. My son learns . My son .
Opium is a drug. Can drug users be healthy?
In short, Xianfeng is born with a weak body and has serious chronic diseases. He does not pay attention to the care of his body and is not good enough to live until he is 31 years old.
Let’s say again, can such people become emperors?
