As far as I know there is no documented cases of emperors (beside the
mythical ones during the first dynasties) living beyond one hundred
years (if they did, it ought to be quite well recorded). It is however
well known that more than a few of them were hiring alchemists and
scholars to make the elixir of life; there are plenty of stories
about this.
