Li Longji was a famous emperor in the Tang Dynasty. Because of his extraordinary life, historians have different opinions on him.
After the "Tang Long Political Revolution", Li Longji was promoted to Dabao and began his first half of his life. He paid attention to bringing order out of chaos, selecting talents, promoting Yao Chong, Song Jing and other famous ministers, and governing the country in an orderly way, bringing the Tang Dynasty to the peak of "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng".
Maybe it's too easy to get honor. In the late ruling period, Li Longji's spirit began to slack off and gradually ignored the failure of state affairs. He not only prized traitors who were useless to the country, such as Li and Yang, but also became bestial and indulged in beauty all day long. Worst of all, he even spared his daughter-in-law, and abruptly made his son Li Mao cuckold.
Interestingly, Li Longji and his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan fell in love for 1 1 year. Although they are not tired of "but the night in spring is short, the sun rises too fast, and the emperor gave up his early hearing from then on", their love time will never be short. Why has Yang Yuhuan's stomach been without power for so many years?
Some people think that it is Li Longji's poor ability in that respect that makes Yang Yuhuan, a beautiful girl, unable to conceive a child for a long time, but in fact, Li Longji is simply "prolific". In her life, * * * gave birth to thirty sons and twenty-nine daughters. Children alone can form more than five football teams. Dare you say he can't?
More importantly, during the period when Yang Yuhuan was forced to enter the palace to fool around with Li Longji, Li Longji also had fun everywhere, and gave birth to his youngest daughter, Shou An Gongzhu Li Chongniang. It is said that this princess is still a half-breed, which shows how romantic Li Longji is!
Giving birth to a child is a matter for two people. Since Li Longji's health is good, it means that Yang Yuhuan, a woman, should be held responsible for not having children?
It happened that when Yang Yuhuan and Li Mao got married, they didn't leave any children. You know, they lived together for five years. At that time, Li Mao was young and energetic, and there could be no physical problems (he had five sons and two daughters in his life). It seems that everything is aimed at Yang Yuhuan itself.
The reason why unofficial history and folklore spread that Yang Yuhuan can't have children is even more mysterious.
Some unofficial history said that Yang Yuhuan couldn't have children because she was so fat that she would be panting and sweating after a few steps. According to the aesthetic view of "Fat is Beauty" in Tang Dynasty, maybe Yang Yuhuan is really a "great beauty" with a big head and a thick neck.
If so, then the reason why Yang Yuhuan can't have children can be explained. Modern medicine shows that if women are too obese, their ovaries will stop ovulating, leading to infertility.
Some unofficial history said that Yang Yuhuan lost fertility because of taking Xiji Pill for a long time. The so-called "Xiji Pill" is actually a skin care product. It is said that sticking to the navel can keep the skin silky smooth.
The ingredient list of Xiji Pill contains not only musk, but also some alchemical substances harmful to human body. Long-term use of this product will cause irreversible serious consequences to the body, such as loss of fertility.
There is also a saying that Yang Yuhuan lost her fertility because of her bad living habits, such as eating cold food for a long time and enjoying drinking and having fun.
Although all the above statements are justified, there are not enough historical records to convince people, and we can't believe them all. To say the least, even if Yang Yuhuan really has a physical problem, the author also thinks that Li Longji's attitude is the root cause of her long-term infertility, because getting her daughter-in-law pregnant with a child is simply a slippery record!
It all started before Wu Huifei died. This Wu Huifei is the granddaughter of Wu Zetian. Under the protection of the latter, Wu Huifei gradually developed a clever and likable character. The most important thing is that she inherited the beauty of Wu Zetian.
After reaching the summit, Li Longji took a fancy to this fair-skinned and enchanting beauty at a glance, and named her Jieyu. Wu Huifei, who won The True Story of Wu Zetian, showed strong harem competitiveness. She quickly caught Li Longji's heart and was promoted to Hui Fei all the way, becoming the most favored woman around Li Longji.
To what extent is Wu Huifei favored? It can be said that Li Longji trusted her almost unconditionally! At that time, in order to eradicate the rival queen, they teamed up with Li to frame Prince Li Ying and his three brothers for rebellion. Li Longji believed it and sent troops to arrest three people indiscriminately. Finally, they were forced to flee the city and took their own lives. It can be seen how charming Wu Huifei is!
It is no exaggeration to say that if Wu Huifei is alive and Yang Yuhuan has nothing, even if the latter is more attractive, Wu Huifei will use his ruthless means to let Yang Yuhuan see the sinister society.
However, Wu Huifei's life is not always smooth sailing, and she has suffered greatly on the issue of fertility. Having been in love with Li Longji for many years, Wu Huifei miscarried several times and finally gave birth to three children, but they all died.
Such a tragic experience made Wu Huifei feel very sensitive and uneasy, so he showed a very strong affection for Li Mao when he was born, and even made up his mind to help his son ascend to the throne, which is why the three brothers Li Ying were framed.
Under the protection of her mother, Li Mao lived a rich life. At the age of seven, he became a keeper. At the age of nine, he was appointed as Yizhou secretariat and Jiannan our ambassador. At the age of seventeen, he was named the third division of Kaifu Instrument. Obviously, he stood at the finish line when he was born.
In July of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan (AD 734), Princess Xianyi held a wedding in Luoyang, and Li Mao, who was only sixteen years old, also attended the wedding. At this wedding, he met Yang Yuhuan and fell in love with him at first sight, which also laid the groundwork for being cuckolded later.
In fact, Yang Yuhuan's own family conditions are very good, otherwise it is impossible to qualify for the princess's wedding celebration. Yang Yuhuan was born into a bureaucratic family, and his great-grandfather Wang Yang was a minister and official in the Sui Dynasty. His father Yang Xuanyan is an official, and his uncle Yun is an official in Henan.
Because of her superior family background, Yang Yuhuan received a good education from an early age, which made her not only good at singing and dancing, but also good at playing the pipa. She also has a good cultural quality. In short, she is "elegant and talented".
Such conditions are extremely sought after anywhere, even for Li Mao, an ignorant teenager. He missed Yang Yuhuan very much. Finally, he asked his mother Wu Huifei to act as matchmaker, and soon they got married. Because of her promotion, she was directly named Princess Shou, and her social status soared.
After their marriage, Li Mao, a young couple in Yang Yuhuan, was very loving and lived a very happy life. Unfortunately, such a wonderful life is gone because of Wu Huifei's death.
As mentioned earlier, in order to clear the way for his son, Wu Huifei designed and framed three brothers of Prince Li Ying. Because of her guilty conscience, Wu Huifei often had nightmares at night, dreaming that Li Ying's three brothers became ghosts and took her life. In the long run, Wu Huifei's health became worse and worse, and he finally died in the 25th year of Kaiyuan at the age of 38.
Wu Huifei's death is terrible news for Li Longji. For a long time, he was depressed all day, and even his usual enthusiasm for men and women failed to interest him. As time goes by, Li Longji's health is getting worse and worse.
Li Longji doesn't care about his health, but some people are very keen on his dragon body. Seeing that the Lord's health is getting worse every day, his servants are anxious like ants on hot bricks, so someone suggested to him that Princess Shou is very beautiful and can replace him as his new lover.
This New Tang Book records:
"Qiu, later into the dynasty when the emperor. Or the princess's posture is natural, and it is suitable for the whole court, so I call it forbidden. "
At first, Li Longji refused. After all, the object was his daughter-in-law, who was still proud of being an elder. Later, when he saw Yang Yuhuan's beautiful appearance, he immediately put ethics behind him and tried to get each other.
But at that time, their identities were father-in-law and daughter-in-law, and there were moral and ethical taboos. Even though the thought of the Tang Dynasty was free and open, ethical behavior could not be accepted.
Of course, it is hard for Li Longji, who holds the world power, to come up with tricks to deceive the world. Li Longji first made Yang Yuhuan a Taoist priest under the guise of praying for Dou Taihou, and gave her the title of "Taizhen", and then let her move into Taizhen Palace to facilitate their private meeting.
A few years later, Yang Yuhuan gradually faded out of people's sight, so Li Longji made her secularized, formally incorporated her into the harem, canonized her as the imperial concubine, and began a happy life without shame.
Li Longji took Yang Yuhuan as a substitute for Wu Huifei, and transferred all her former love to her, even wishing to take off her baby's breath and give it to each other.
In this way, they fell in love for eleven years, which ended when Li Longji forced Yang Yuhuan to commit suicide.
But strangely, it seems unreasonable that Yang Yuhuan didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter for Li Longji for such a long time. However, combined with their sensitive and taboo identities, we have reason to speculate that Yang Yuhuan is not pregnant because of Li Longji's attitude.
In fact, at the end of the day, no matter how clever Li Longji's deception is, he can't hide the fact that he occupied his daughter-in-law. As we all know, he just dared not say it because of his identity.
The victim Li Mao didn't resist not only because of their blood relationship, but also because of their different identities.
As a father, Li Longji has always felt sorry for his son. If his daughter-in-law gets pregnant again, it will not only push Li Mao to the wall, but also make him lose his last face.
In fact, Li Longji's conscience is still alive. In the thirty-third year of Kaiyuan (AD 745), Li Longji suddenly felt guilty. In order to compensate his son Li Mao, he made Wei's daughter Webster the princess of life. She was born with extraordinary appearance and first-class conduct. This is a blessing for Li Mao.
Therefore, for the sake of his own face, and in order not to embarrass his son too much, Li Longji won't let Yang Yuhuan have children.
Besides, if Yang Yuhuan gives birth to a daughter, that's it. If she has a son, it may bring a new political storm.
With Li Longji's infatuation with Yang Yuhuan, if the latter often goes in one ear and out the other, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Longji can resist the idea of establishing a prince. This is very unfair to Prince Hengli, and may cause the latter's rebellion. When the situation gets out of control, he, Li Longji, will also become a sinner through the ages.
Therefore, for the stability of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji would not let Yang Yuhuan's children appear in the world.
To sum up, the author thinks that Li Longji doted on Yang Yuhuan for eleven years, but the latter did not give birth to a son and a half. This strange imagination is not accidental, but inevitable.
The relationship between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan is sensitive and taboo. If they have children, it will not only embarrass Li Longji and Li Mao, but also trigger a new political storm, which will affect the safety of the whole Tang Dynasty. So it stands to reason that Li Longji won't let Yang Yuhuan have children.
