Li Shimin had 14 sons and 21 daughters, but none of these 35 children were born to Wu Zetian, and it was for this reason that Wu Zetian was driven to Ganye Temple as a nun after his death in 649.
Li Shimin has 35 children that is enough to prove that he has fertility, and Wu Zetian later gave birth to 6 children for Li Zhilai, indicating that she also has fertility, but why did she not have a child in the 12 years she followed Li Shimin?
Wu Zetian was born in 624, from a small appearance, grew a dragon pupil phoenix neck look, Yuan Tiangang predicted that she has the destiny of the son of heaven, the dragon pupil phoenix neck in ancient times is the face of the emperor, Wu Zetian is definitely better looking than ordinary people, and the history books also prove that she is a beautiful woman,
The New Book of Tang records that her appearance is "square forehead guangyi", that is to say, Wu Zetian has a wide forehead and a plump chin, and in the Tang Dynasty, where fat is beautiful, Wu Zetian's appearance is definitely beautiful, otherwise Li Shimin would not have asked her father, Wu Shiyi.
In 638, wu Zetian, who was only 14 years old, was favored by the 40-year-old Li Shimin, was named a talented person, and because of his beauty, he received the title of Li Shimin 'WuMei'.
Many men always want to get her when they don't chase after the beautiful woman, and after chasing after satisfying the possessiveness, they throw the beautiful woman aside, Li Shimin is such a person, after wu Zetian is included in the harem, he rarely pays attention to her, causing Wu Zetian to die or a talented person.
Li Shimin and Wu Zetian are normal people who can have children, and talented people also have the opportunity to be blessed by Li Shimin, but why haven't they had a child for 12 years? In fact, this is related to a small flaw in Wu Zetian.
In his later years, Wu Zetian once recalled an incident when she was still a talented person, Li Shimin told her that he had a horse with a stubborn personality, no one could subdue it, even he could not subdue it, and asked Wu Zetian if there was a way to subdue it.
Although Wu Zetian was only a teenager at the time, she had already shown a fierce side, and she told Li Shimin that she only needed three things to subdue the horse called "Lion Horse", namely iron whip, iron grab, and dagger.
Wu Zetian told Li Shimin how to subdue, first beat the lion with a horse whip, if it did not obey, it would use the iron that hurt even more, if these two sharp weapons still could not subdue the lion, then it was useless for the lion to stay, it was better to use a dagger to cut off the throat of the lion and let it die.
Li Shimin listened to Wu Zetian's words in a cold sweat, did not expect that a person with a flowery appearance and a moon was so vicious in his heart, putting such a vicious woman next to his pillow was afraid, in case she got up and killed herself one day, so from this point on, wu Zetian was snubbed, and he did not have a son and a half daughter with her.
The defect that caused Wu Zetian not to give birth to Li Shimin's child is a character defect, Wu Zetian is a daughter of a man's heart, the personality lacks the softness of women, and does not attach so much importance to life, as long as it is not in line with their own wishes, people or animals can deprive life at will, and later she really did this, Shangguan Yi opposed her as an empress, and she changed her hatred in her heart and cut off the Shangguan Yi family.
Wu Zetian not only showed no mercy to the lives of others, but also very cruel to the lives of his own children, killing his own two sons and a daughter, the old saying has cloud "tiger poison does not eat children", but Wu Zetian even killed his own children in order to keep his position, Li Shimin just saw through this woman's fierce heart to stay away from her, but his son Li Zhi did not have that advanced thinking, not only did not see wu Zetian's personality was also fascinated by her, resulting in Li Tangjiangshan changing the control of the surname Wu.
However, thanks to Wu Zetian's lack of gentle and virtuous personality, she has the ability to achieve the position of emperor, otherwise she does not have the ability to compete with men, nor does she have the mentality to cope with various troubles, and being able to become the emperor is something that she has already been destined to do, and she can't get rid of it.
