Why didn't most emperors in the Ming Dynasty live long? Is it physical or something else?

Most of the kings of the Ming Dynasty were hardworking, and too much pressure would lead to short life. As we are now, most young people's news of sudden death is stressful, and they like to stay up late. Most of the kings of the Ming Dynasty were hardworking, so it is understandable that their life span was short.

1. The overworked Zhu Yuanzhang, as we all know, is one of them. Because it is not easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to win the throne, and he likes to handle the affairs of the DPRK by himself, he often approves the throne until the early hours of the morning, and then gets up before dawn every day, which means that he only sleeps for three or four hours a day, which is definitely unbearable for his health.

Perhaps there is Zhu Yuanzhang as an example in front, and the Ming kings behind are also very hardworking. For example, Judy, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, is always criticized for his superior way. He also tried very hard to cover up his ill-gotten gains, but Judy was really a good king, and his life was not long. He and Zhu Yuanzhang are diligent in politics almost all day.

Second, I ate too much Dan medicine. I have been a great believer in Taoism since Judy in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, kings of various dynasties will recruit many Taoist priests into the palace to make Dan medicine for themselves. We all know that most ancient Dan medicines contain heavy metals such as lead and cinnabar. If you take it for a short time, you may find it very effective. After a long time, you won't live as long as chronic poisoning.

Three kings in the Ming Dynasty all died because they ate too much Dan medicine. Some people may say that they died young because they were addicted to women. This should not be possible. We can refer to Kangxi. His harem was full and there were many children, but Kangxi lived for a long time, including the well-known lecherous Qianlong, but he also lived for a long time and finally died for many years, so he was addicted to women. Of course, it does not rule out that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were short-lived, and so were the modern emperors. Some families only inherit cancer, so they can only guess the specific reasons for their short life.
