Tang Xuanzong single-handedly favored Yang Guifei day and night, and was favored for 11 years, why didn't he give birth to a child?

By making history our own, we move from history to eternity.

Yang Guifei must have been the most brilliant woman in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, and her influence in history even overshadowed tang Xuanzong, but she became famous in history not by political or military ability, but because of her outstanding posture and the things of the emperor. As a noble concubine who had been favored by Tang Xuanzong for eleven years, why didn't she have a son and a half daughter for Tang Xuanzong in the end?

Since Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei did not have children, it must be caused by the physical reasons of a certain party, and there are two mainstream views, one is Tang Xuanzong's age problem, and the other is Yang Guifei's physical problem. When Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei got on well, their age was not small, close to about 60 years old, and Tang Xuanzong at this time was likely to have lost his fertility.

More convincing is Yang Guifei's body problem. Yang Guifei followed two people in her life, one was Li Mao, the King of Shou, and the other was Tang Xuanzong. Li Mao, the King of Shou, had his own wife, and his wife Wei Shi alone gave birth to five sons, so it can be proved that Li Mao, the King of Shou, had no physical problems, but Yang Guifei was not pregnant.

Tang Xuanzong, not to mention, had more than fifty children in his lifetime, and there was certainly no problem with fertility. Then according to this inference, there is only one possibility, that is, Yang Guifei herself has a problem with her body and cannot have children.

The problem that Yang Guifei could not have children will certainly not be recorded in the main history, so we can only look for clues from her life. We all know that although she is beautiful, heaven is fair, and what gives her beauty also gives her fox smell, and her fox smell is particularly large, and it needs to be covered up with regular spices. It is said that in order to cover up this smell, she used a poultice containing musk.

In fact, musk was often used as a natural spice in ancient times, and modern medical research, whether it is used externally or internally, is a risk to women's fertility. Therefore, musk has become a major artifact in the harem in ancient times, and is often used to murder pregnant concubines, and often the imperial doctors cannot check the cause.

For Yang Guifei, the use of these spices was just needed, after all, her own fox smell was really too big, as the emperor's most favored concubine, this was a very embarrassing problem. At that time, musk was used as a spice and was also a relatively common thing.

Although Yang Guifei was unable to have children in her lifetime, this did not affect Tang Xuanzong's favor for her in the slightest, and even Tang Xuanzong did not dislike Yang Guifei for having a clear fox odor. If Yang Guifei can still bear a son and a half daughter, it is conceivable that the fate of Datang may be rewritten.
