The reason is very simple, that is, Tang Wan will not have children.
However, it is very ironic that not long after Lu You's mother forced Lu You and Tang Wan to divorce, Tang Wan married the fifth grandson of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong, and after the two married, Tang Wan also gave birth to a big fat boy and a girlfriend.
So, after learning that his ex-wife had children with someone else, what was Lu You's reaction and attitude? Did Lu You ever regret that his mother forced him to leave Tang Wan?
All this has to start from how the love tragedy of Lu You and Tang Wan happened.
Lu You and Tang Wan were both from Shanyin, Yuezhou (present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang), and, from the perspective of relatives, Tang Wan was also Lu You's cousin.
Lu You's father was named Lu Zai, and Lu Zai's wife, Lu You's mother, Tang Shi, was the sister of Tang Hong, who was then the judge of Zhengzhou, so Tang Hong's daughter Tang Wan needed to call Lu You's mother an aunt.
If you calculate it this way, the relationship between Lu You and Tang Wan belongs to the relationship of "cousin".
With this layer of kinship, coupled with the fact that the two have lived together since childhood, it is most appropriate to use "green plum bamboo horse" to describe Lu You and Tang Wan.
Naturally, the two little unsuspecting two people, with admiration in their hearts, secretly have feelings is also a natural thing.
In the thirteenth year of Shaoxing (1143 AD), Lu You used a family heirloom phoenix as a keepsake and became intimate with his cousin Tang Wan, and in the following year, the two were officially married.
At this time, Lu You was nineteen years old, and Tang Wan had just turned sixteen, and two young people who also liked literature and were good at poetry and song formed a small family, and they were full of expectations for the future.
There are Ways to qinser and ming, husbands and women to follow, the most rare thing in life is to have a soul mate, and Lu You and Tang Wan are very lucky, in the right time to meet the right person.
However, just as the two were immersed in the sweetness of their own little world, a discordant voice appeared.
The source of this discordant voice is Lu You's mother, Tang Shi, who is very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law and has several times proposed that Lu You dismiss Tang Wan.
Why not be satisfied? The most direct reason is that Tang Wan has been married to the Lu family for more than a year, and her stomach has never moved.
So, is it true that Lu You's mother is not satisfied? The answer is indeed so, according to historical records, after Tang Wan and Lu You married, they have not been pregnant.
The ancient saying has clouds, no filial piety has three, no queen is greater, for the inheritance of heirs and the continuation of incense, the ancients are very important, especially like the Lu family.
Lu You's father, Lu Zai, has a total of three sons, but among these three sons, the most talented and most likely to honor the ancestors is the old third Lu You, as for the eldest and second eldest, compared to Lu You, it is indeed a lot worse.
Therefore, Lu You's parents have high expectations of Lu You since they were young, and after Lu You's father passed away, Lu You's mother put all her thoughts on her younger son.
Therefore, the marriage of the younger son Lu You was handled by Lu Mother, and after marriage, she waited to hold her grandson, but after waiting for more than a year, she was never able to hold it.
This made Lu Mu extremely dissatisfied, and this also became a fuse that led to the breakdown of Lu You and Tang Wan's marriage.
For his mother's reaction, Lu You was not unaware at that time, but giving birth to such a thing as a child did not mean that there were some, so he did not persuade his mother less, hoping that her mother could give Tang Wan a little more time.
As for why Tang Wan has not been pregnant for more than a year, this real situation has not been verified, but Lu You himself has mentioned this matter, saying that Tang Wan belongs to "Twilight Flower Late".
What is "Twilight Late"? Roughly speaking, that is, due to the difference between people and human physique, Tang Wan's physical condition at that time was not yet to the extent that she could conceive, and to put it bluntly, the success rate of conception was low.
But Lu Mu didn't care about this, in her eyes, Tang Wan was a person who couldn't give birth to children.
Of course, if it is only because Tang Wan has not given birth for the time being, then it will not be forced by Lu Mu to land and leave her later, and what really leads to Lu You's divorce is actually Lu Mu's heart of "hoping for a son to become a dragon".
As mentioned above, Lu You was the younger son in the family, and his father, Lu Zai, served as the deputy envoy of Jingxi Road during the Northern Song Dynasty, and after Emperor Gaozong of Song established the Southern Song Dynasty, he continued to serve as the official of Changping in Huaixi in the middle of the dynasty.
In addition to Lu You's father, Lu You's grandfather Lu Youguan Zhi Shangshu Right Cheng (尚書右丞), and Gaozu Lu Yi (高祖陸轸) served as an official.
Moreover, after the death of Lu You's father, Lu Zai, he was posthumously awarded the title of Young Master by the Southern Song Dynasty court.
That is to say, Lu You is a typical eunuch, in our modern parlance, it is called "several generations of officials", and since he is after the eunuch, then the heavy responsibility of Guangzong Yaozu must be borne by him.
The reason why it must be him, as also introduced in the previous article, lu you brothers three, his two brothers have mediocre qualifications, only Lu You is a collection of talents in one, so almost all of Lu You's hopes are on Lu You.
In this way, in response to the words of "deep love, deep responsibility", Lu Mu hoped that her son would inherit the ancestral inheritance and seek an official and a half-position, so as to shine on the lintel.
However, because Lu Yougang and his cousin Tang Wan got married, you dao is newly married Yan'er, and his happiness is harmonious, as a first taste of love and sweetness, what official position, what future, is not as good as his cousin's smile.
And Lu You's behavior was just contrary to his mother's yin yin expectations, so Lu You had to stand up and stop it.
In fact, Lu Mu's behavior is not incomprehensible, in that social context at that time, the greatest success of a reader, then can only participate in the imperial examination, and eventually become an official in the imperial court.
Just as the so-called "learn the art of literature and martial arts, sell and the imperial family", in fact, it is this truth, the most effective way to reflect success in ancient times is nothing more than to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, and no matter how bad it is, you have to mix an official position.
Therefore, Lu Mu was very dissatisfied with Lu You's indulgence in gentle township, and in her opinion, if her son continued like this, then all his future would be ruined.
Therefore, we must let my son Lu You change from this state, let him study hard, and get a meritorious name.
And how to get your son to get out of this state quickly? I believe that Lu Mu must have also taken other ways, such as advice, heart talks, etc., but it is estimated that the effect is not very good.
It is precisely because other methods do not work well, so Lu Mu went straight to the core of the problem, that is, Tang Wan herself.
In Lu Mu's view, the key to all the problems lies in Tang Wan, it is she who has turned her son Lu You's charm upside down, just as the so-called "capture the thief first captures the king", as long as she is solved, then all problems will be solved.
Therefore, forcing The Landing Tour to leave Tang Wan became the last and only way.
At that time, what Attitude Lu You had towards his mother's decision, we have no way of knowing, but what we can see is that Lu You finally chose to give in, and swept Tang Wan out of the house with a letter of resignation.
Frankly speaking, this result was absolutely cruel to Tang Wan, she did not do anything wrong from the beginning to the end, but she suffered such a result, and the reason was because she "delayed" Lu You's future.
As for not being pregnant and not having children, it is just an excuse to cover up.
So, after Tang Wan and Lu Youlao Yan flew apart, what kind of life did the two experience separately?
According to historical records, after Tang Wan left the Lu family, she first returned to her mother's house, and was sad for a while in her mother's house, in short, she was extremely lost.
Think about it, a woman was divorced by her husband's family, which was not a small thing in ancient times, no matter what the reason, but Tang Wan has since put on a hat of "being divorced", which has had a huge impact on her future life.
And in the mother's house is not a long-term solution, after all, she has always been a woman, where is the woman who has been living in the mother's house? Therefore, not long after, after the arrangement of her mother's family, Tang Wan married a person named Zhao Shicheng.
This Zhao Shicheng, according to historical records, was the fifth grandson of Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong of Song, and was also a descendant of the imperial family, and at that time, his title was the Prince of Yongjia County, and his official position was Wudang Juncheng.
The reason why he would accept Tang Wan was because his wife had not been able to give birth to him an heir, so he accepted Tang Wan.
Since it is Na Tang Wan, it means that Tang Wan did not go to Zhao Shicheng as the main room, according to the ancient marriage, as long as the concubine or side room is called "Na".
Moreover, according to relevant historical records, Zhao Shicheng was more than ten years older than Tang Wan.
Therefore, based on these, we can judge that the combination of Zhao Shicheng and Tang Wan is not a mutual pleasure, but is most likely a compromise that Tang Wan chose under the pressure of her family.
But even if it is a compromise, this is no way to do it, after all, the women of that era always have to find a home, even if it is to be a concubine, it is better than being lonely and old, at least it is a home.
But what is very interesting is that Tang Wan, who was originally unable to get pregnant in the Lu family, gave birth to a son and a daughter after marrying Zhao Shicheng, so it can be seen that Tang Wan's statement that she cannot have children is indeed an excuse for Lu Mother to force her away.
Lu You, on the other hand, after the divorce, obeyed his mother's instructions and married a meek woman, and since then, he has concentrated on his fame and mind to develop his career.
In this way, Lu You and Tang Wan began their respective lives, but fate did not seem to be ready to let the two go, in Shaoxing twenty-one years, Lu You participated in the examination of the Ceremonial Department, due to the failure of the exam, the mood was very depressed, at the invitation of friends, came to the Shen Garden in Shanyin to play, coincidentally, here, just met Tang Wan and her husband Zhao Shicheng.
This meeting made Lu You feel a thousand emotions, and his heart was more sad, and Tang Wan was the same.
Originally, the two were a loving couple of Qinse and Ming, but now they are not human, coupled with the failure of the luyou exam at that time, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, which makes him even more emotionally excited.
However, Lu You still tried his best to control his emotions at that time, and Tang Wan, after obtaining the consent of her husband Zhao Shicheng, gave Lu You a glass of wine alone.
This cup of wine is a thought that cannot be forgotten, and it is also the attachment of the former sea oath mountain alliance.
After that, Lu You wrote the famous poem "Phoenix, Red Crispy Hand" in the Shen Garden, and turned away with "a sadness, a few years away from the rope".
Five years later, Tang Wan came to Shen Garden again, saw the handwriting left by the land tour on the wall, sighed with emotion, and wrote a poem called "Phoenix, WorldLy Thin".
In the autumn of the same year, Tang Wan died depressed, only twenty-eight years old.
