Emperor Wu of Han succeeded to the throne at the age of 16, so why did he have a son at the age of 29?
In 130 BC, when Ah Jiao's use of witchcraft to curse the invitation to favor was discovered, Emperor Wu was so angry that he sent Yushi Zhang Tang to be in charge of the strict investigation. Zhang Tang showed an extraordinary talent for coercing confessions and excellent judicial skills, went deep into the case, tracked down and confirmed Ah Jiao's crime of rebellion. As soon as Zhang Tang struck, He successfully destroyed Empress Chen, who had been in the harem for 11 years, and in the autumn and July of that year, Chen Ajiao was deposed and retired to the outskirts of the city.
Six months later, Wei Zifu became pregnant again (having previously given birth to three princesses), and in the spring of the following year (128 BC), he successfully gave birth to the first prince for the 29-year-old young Liu Che. Emperor Wu sent Dongfang Shuo to do the construction of the temple, and all the people in the dynasty were congratulating this late Prince of the Han Dynasty, and the main father even wrote to Emperor Wu and asked Wei Zifu to be the empress.
After reading the above two paragraphs, it is worth playing: in the more than 10 years that Chen Ajiao was an empress, she did not conceive and give birth to a child, and it is certain that the queen was childless, but it is only a matter of time, which is one of them.
Second: After Wei Zifu entered the palace, he gave birth to three princesses to Emperor Wu, and it was not until Empress Chen was deposed and pregnant again that she gave birth to the crown prince Liu Zhao, which was also the first prince (the eldest son of the emperor) born after Emperor Wu of Han succeeded to the throne.
Emperor Wu of Han succeeded to the throne at the age of 16 and gave birth to his first prince at the age of 29, and the reason for this is that Emperor Wu and his mother Empress Wang seem to know better than anyone, and here we can only say that this may be attributed to the brutal court political struggle in the early days of Emperor Wu's succession.
