It's not that Yang Guifei couldn't have a child, but Tang Xuanzong didn't want to do so, hijacking his daughter-in-law was already brazen enough, if he gave to let Yang Guifei give birth to a child, then it was estimated that Li Mao would have to pull out his sword and kill himself.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, a famous emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has received mixed reviews from major historians because his life was so extraordinary.
After the "Tanglong coup", Li Longji was honored to ascend to the throne and began the first half of his life. He focused on correcting the situation, selecting and promoting Yao Chong, Song Jing and other famous ministers, the country will be well organized, the Tang Dynasty into the peak of the "Kaiyuan era".
Perhaps it is too easy to think of achievements, to the late reign of Li Longji spirit began to slacken, and gradually neglected the government, not only favor those who are not beneficial to the country of sycophants Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and so on, but also animalistic, indulged in the beauty of the whole day, the most outrageous is that he even his own daughter-in-law is not to be spared, and hard to let his son, Li Mao, wearing a cuckold.
Interestingly, Li Longji and his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan love love up to eleven years, although not every day, "the spring night is short day high, from the king does not early morning morning" of the tired, but the two people love each other time is definitely not short, but why so many years Yang Yuhuan's stomach has not been motivated it?
Some people think that Li Longji that aspect of the ability to not make the beauty of Yang Yuhuan a long time can not conceive a child, but in fact Li Longji is simply "productive", a lifetime of **** breeding 30 sons and 29 daughters , the child alone can form more than The children alone can form more than five soccer teams, such a strong fertility you dare to say that he can not?
What's more, Yang Yuhuan was forced to go to the palace to fool around with Li Longji during the period, Li Longji also everywhere pleasure, and gave birth to the youngest daughter of Shou'an Princess Li Buniang, it is said that this princess is still a mixed-race children, see Li Longji how much of a flirt!
Fertility is a matter of two people, since Li Longji's body has no problem, that means the woman Yang Yuhuan should be the one to take the blame for the lack of children?
Coincidentally, when Yang Yuhuan and Li Mao were married, the two of them also did not leave an heir, knowing that the two of them also counted the **** with the life of five years, at that time, Li Mao was young and energetic, it is unlikely that his body would have problems (he had five sons and two daughters in his life), it seems that all the spearheads are pointing to Yang Yuhuan itself.
Wild history and folklore have made the reason for Yang Yuhuan's inability to have children even more mysterious.
Some wild stories say that Yang Yuhuan's inability to have children was because she was too fat, to the point that she would be out of breath and sweating profusely when she took a few steps. According to the Tang Dynasty's "fat is beautiful" aesthetic, it is possible that Yang Yuhuan was really a "big beauty" with a big head and thick neck.
If this is the case, then Yang's inability to have children can be explained. Modern medicine shows that if a woman is too obese, her ovaries will no longer ovulate, resulting in infertility.
Some wild stories claim that Yang Yuhuan lost her fertility due to the long-term use of the "resting muscle pill". The so-called "resting muscle pill" is actually a skin care product, which is rumored to be applied to the navel to keep the skin smooth and silky.
And "rest muscle pill" in the list of ingredients not only musk, but also a part of the human body harmful alchemy substances, long-term use of this product will make the body irreversible serious consequences, such as the loss of fertility.
There is also a theory that Yang Yuhuan lost her fertility because of her poor lifestyle habits, such as consuming cold foods and drinking alcohol.
While all of these claims are valid, there is not enough historical evidence to make them convincing, so we can't believe them. Even if Yang Yuhuan did have health problems,I think that Li Longji's attitude was the root cause of her inability to have children, because it would be a travesty to let his own daughter-in-law conceive a child!
It all started before the death of Wu Hui Fei. This Wu Hui Fei is the niece of a generation of empress Wu Zetian, under the latter's patronage Wu Hui Fei gradually developed a well-behaved, good to meet the character, the most critical is that she inherited Wu Zetian's beauty.
After Li Longji came to power, he took a liking to the white skin, beautiful, alluring body of the great beauty, and she was named Jieyu. The deep Wu Zetian true transmission of the Wu Hui Fei show very strong harem competitiveness, she soon completely seize the heart of Li Longji, all the way to the promotion of Hui Fei, become the most favored woman around Li Longji.
Wu Hui Fei favored to what extent? It can be said that Li Longji almost unconditional trust in her! At that time, Wu Hui Fei in order to eliminate rivals Queen Wang, joint Li Linfu framed Prince Li Ying brothers three intend to conspire against, Li Longji believe it, indiscriminately sent troops to arrest the three, and finally forced the three can only escape out of the city to end their own. This shows how charismatic Consort Wu Hui was!
It is not an exaggeration to say that if Wu Hui Fei had been alive, there would have been no such thing as Yang Yuhuan, and even if the latter's face value was better, Wu Hui Fei would have used her own ruthless means to make Yang Yuhuan see the evils of society.
However, Wu Hui Fei's life was not always smooth sailing, and she suffered a huge ordeal on the issue of childbearing. After years of love with Li Longji, she suffered several miscarriages and gave birth to three children who all died.
This tragic experience made Wu Hui Fei become very sensitive and uneasy in her heart, so later when Li Mao was born, she showed extremely strong feelings of doting, and even made up her mind to help her son to ascend to the throne, which is also the reason why Li Ying's three brothers suffered from the frame-up.
Under his mother's patronage, Li Mao lived a life that was called a nourishing one, becoming the king of Shou at the age of seven, becoming the grand governor of Yizhou and the ambassador of the Jiannan Festival at the age of nine, and being crowned as the Third Secretary of the Kaihu Yitong at the age of seventeen, and it was clear that he stood at the finish line at the time of his birth.
In July of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan (734 A.D.), Princess Xianyi was married in Luoyang, and Li Mao, who was only sixteen years old, also attended this wedding. At this wedding, he met Yang Yuhuan and fell in love with her at first sight, setting the stage for his own cuckolding.
In fact, Yang Yuhuan's own family conditions are very good, otherwise it would not be eligible to participate in the princess's wedding celebrations. Yang Yuhuan was born into a family of officials and eunuchs. Her great-grandfather, Yang Wang, served as the Minister of the Ministry of Appointments and the Upper Pillar of State in the Sui Dynasty; her father, Yang Xuan Yan, served as the Secretary of the House of Representatives of the State of Shu; and her uncle, Yang Xuan Jie, served as the Tucao of Henan Province.
Yang Yuhuan received a good education from a young age, which made her not only a good dancer and a good pipa player, but also had a good culture, in short, "colorful and talented".
These conditions are highly sought-after everywhere, and this was also true for the ignorant young man Li Mao, who had longed for Yang Yuhuan and finally let his mother, Concubine Wu, act as a matchmaker, and soon the two were united in matrimony. As a result, Yang Yuhuan was named Shou Wangfei (寿王妃) by Li Longji (李隆基), and her social status skyrocketed.
After they got married, Li Mao and Yang Yuhuan were very much in love, and lived a very happy life. Unfortunately, such a good life went up in smoke because of the death of Wu Hui Fei.
As we said earlier, in order to remove the obstacles for her son, Wu Hui Fei designed to frame the three brothers of the Prince Li Ying, because of the weakness of the heart, and after that, Wu Hui Fei often have nightmares at night, dreaming that the three brothers of Li Ying turned into a ghost to ask for her life. The three brothers were in the form of ghosts and demons, and her health deteriorated, and she died in the 25th year of the reign of the Emperor, at the age of thirty-eight.
Wu Hui Fei's death for Li Longji is simply shocking news, a long period of time he is not thinking about meals, all day depressed, even the usual incomparable passion for men and women can not let him bring up the excitement, time, Li Longji's health is getting worse and worse.
Li Longji himself does not cherish the body, but some people are very concerned about his dragon body. Seeing the body of the king of a country is not as good as a day, his lapdogs are like ants on the hot pot anxious round and round,So then some people to him said that Shou Wangfei national color and fragrance, can replace the Wu Hui Fei to become his new love.
This "New Tang Book" is recorded:
"Wu Hui Fei princely, after the court did not when the emperor intended. Or said that the princess posture quality Tianjing, appropriate to fill the tye court, so called within the forbidden."
At first, Li Longji refused inwardly, after all, the object is his own daughter-in-law, as the elders or face, and then when he saw Yang Yuhuan's beautiful face, will be the ethical morality behind, and want to get each other into the hands of the heart.
But at that time, the status of the two men was a father-in-law and daughter-in-law, there are moral and ethical taboos, even if the Tang Dynasty is free and open-minded can not accept ethical behavior.
Of course, it was not difficult for Li Longji, who was in control of the world, to come up with a plan to conceal his identity from the world. First, under the guise of praying for the Empress Dowager Dou's blessing, Li made Yang Yuhuan a monk and gave her the name "Taizhen," and then allowed her to move into the Taizhen Palace in order to facilitate the two of them to have private meetings.
A few years later, Yang Yuhuan gradually faded out of sight, so Li Longji had her return to secularism, will be formally included in the harem and named as a concubine, and from then on began to live a happy life without shame.
Li Longji regarded Yang Yuhuan as a replacement for Wu Hui Fei, and transferred all his favor to her, even wishing to take down the stars in the sky to give each other.
So the two love, love and love for eleven years, until the "Mawei slope change" Li Longji forced Yang Yuhuan suicide, this love is the end of this.
But the strange thing is, in such a long time, Yang Yuhuan actually failed to give birth to a child for Li Longji, which seems very unreasonable, but combined with the two sensitive and taboo identity, we have reason to speculate that Yang Yuhuan did not have a pregnancy because of Li Longji's attitude.
In fact, after all, no matter how clever Li Longji's means of concealing the truth from the world, he couldn't hide the fact that he was hogging his daughter-in-law, and that everyone was aware of it, only that he didn't dare to say it explicitly because of his status.
The reason why the victim, Li Mao, did not resist is not only because of the blood relationship between the two, but also because of the different status of the two.
Li Longji, as a father, is already very sorry for his son, and if he let his daughter-in-law get pregnant again, it will not only push Li Mao to the brink of extinction, but also make himself lose his last trace of face.
In fact, Li Longji's conscience is still intact. In the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Kaiyuan (745 AD), Li Longji suddenly felt guilty, and in order to make up for his son, Li Mao, he made Wei Zhaoxun's daughter, Wei, the consort of the king of Shou, who was born into an extraordinary family and had a first-class appearance, which is a blessing in the midst of misfortune for Li Mao.
So for the sake of his own honor, and not to embarrass his son too much, Li Longji would not let Yang Yuhuan give birth to a child.
Besides, if Yang Yuhuan gave birth to a daughter, it would be fine, but if she gave birth to a son, it might bring a new political storm.
To Li Longji for Yang Yuhuan's degree of fascination, the latter if often blowing in the ear, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Longji can not hold the idea of making the crown prince, which is very unfair to the crown prince Li Heng, and there is a possibility that the latter's idea of rebellion, and then the situation is out of control, he Li Longji will also become a thousand years of sins.
So for the sake of the stability of the Tang dynasty, Li Longji will not let Yang Yuhuan's child appear in the world.
Executive Writer's RemarksIn short, the author believes that the strange imagery of Li Longji favoring Yang Yuhuan for eleven years without the latter giving birth to a child is not occasional, but inevitable.
Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan's relationship is sensitive and taboo, if the two conceived a child, not only will Li Longji and Li Mao face, and may trigger a new political storm, which in turn affects the safety of the entire Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Longji will not let Yang Yuhuan give birth to a child.
