As the only female emperor in Chinese history, Wu Zetian was both talented and beautiful. However, she has never been pregnant in 11 years with Li Shimin. She and Li Zhi had children together for a year, and then she had six children in a row. Why? In fact, the reason is very simple.
The most fundamental reason is the age gap between the two. At that time, Wu Zetian was only 14 years old, while Li Shimin and Tang Taizong were already 40 years old. Whoever it is, there are tough conditions for having children at this age. According to historical records, Li Shimin's last child was born in 634, and Wu Zetian entered the palace in 638. Before that, they had not intersected, and naturally had not met. It can be seen that Li Shimin began to have infertility problems from 634, which is why they have not had children for 11 years.
However, there was also a ridiculous rumor that a fortune teller had called her into the palace when he counted Wu Zetian as emperor. The aim was not to be lucky, but to put her under house arrest. Naturally, she would not have a relationship with her, let alone have children. However, as the emperor at that time, was it necessary to make such an arrangement? Obviously, there was no need for this, so the rumor was scattered.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, Li Shimin is a person who came out of the battlefield. The woman he likes is the kind of woman who grabs the right boundaries, knows the difference between inside and outside, has wisdom, and can support him politically, like the eldest grandson queen. Not the kind of woman who is like Wu Meiniang, so naturally "flattering", no matter what Wu Zetian does, he can't get into Li Shimin's eyes, he won't win his favor, which will widen the distance between the two, and naturally he won't have children.
Unlike Li Zhi, she gave birth to six children in a row, mainly because Li Zhi liked Wu Zetian. After Li Shimin's death, Li Zhi often went to the temple to see her. Then, at one point, they spent a spring night in the temple and became pregnant. After that, Li Zhi took her back to the palace. At this time, the palace was blown into a pot, and the ministers objected. Everyone knelt down to persuade this move to be detrimental to the weathering, but how could it easily change Li Zhi's mind? Having loved for so long and giving up now, it is obviously impossible. Later, Wu Zetian was named empress, which really meant a lot!
Why a person who has not been pregnant in 11 years and who has six children in a row? At the end of the day, it's still a love word. Tang Taizong Li Shimin did not love Wu Zetian, so naturally there would be no children to speak of. For Li Zhi, it was different, he was sincere and sincere to Wu Zetian, and the two naturally fell in love, and what happened after that was logical.
