He likes drinking hot water and asks to boil it for him every day. One day, when he was marching, he rested in a dense forest. Because he was thirsty, he asked his followers to boil water for him to drink. However, in order to prevent water pollution, his followers poured boiling water on leaves to purify the water. When the emperor smelled the fragrance of leaves, he was very curious. After tasting it, he felt that it tasted good and could relieve fatigue. From then on, he liked this drink and became one of the tea drinkers.
