It's not that Yang Guifei can't have children, but Tang Xuanzong doesn't want to do this, it's shameless enough to dominate his daughter-in-law, if he gives Yang Guifei another child, then it is estimated that Li Mao will draw his sword and kill himself.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, a famous emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and major historians have mixed reviews of him, because his life is too extraordinary.
After the "Tang Long Coup", Li Longji ascended to the throne and began to work hard for the first half of his life. He paid attention to putting things right, selecting and appointing people to promote Yao Chong, Song Jing and other famous ministers, governing the country in an orderly manner, and bringing the Tang Dynasty to the peak of the "prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty".
Perhaps because he felt that the merits came too easily, in the later period of his reign, Li Longji's spirit began to slacken, and he gradually neglected the government, not only favored those traitorous ministers Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others who were useless to the country, but also had a wild nature, and indulged in beauty all day long, and the most excessive thing was that he didn't even let go of his daughter-in-law, and forced his son Li Mao to wear a green hat.
Interestingly, Li Longji and his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan have been in love for eleven years, although it is not every day that "the spring night is bitter and short, and the king will not rise early", but the time for the two to love each other will definitely not be short, but why has Yang Yuhuan's stomach been without motivation for so many years?
Some people think that it is Li Longji's ability that makes the beautiful girl Yang Yuhuan unable to conceive a child for a long time, but in fact, Li Longji is simply "prolific", giving birth to a total of 30 sons and 29 daughters in his life, and more than five football teams can be formed with children alone, you dare to say that he can't have such a strong fertility?
What's more critical is that during the period when Yang Yuhuan was forced to enter the palace to fool around with Li Longji, Li Longji also had fun everywhere, and gave birth to the youngest daughter, Princess Li Worm of Shou'an, it is said that this princess is still a mixed-race, which shows how romantic Li Longji is!
Childbirth is a matter of two people, since Li Longji's body has no problems, that means that the woman Yang Yuhuan should take the blame for not having children?
It just so happened that when Yang Yuhuan and Li Mao got married, the two also did not leave any heirs, you must know that the two of them have lived together for five years, Li Mao was young and energetic at that time, and it is impossible for him to have physical problems (he has had five sons and two daughters in his life), and it seems that all the spearheads are pointed at Yang Yuhuan himself.
Wild history and folklore spread the reason why Yang Yuhuan could not have children.
Some wild histories say that Yang Yuhuan can't have children because she is too obese, even to the point where she will be out of breath and sweat profusely after walking a few steps. According to the Tang Dynasty's aesthetic of "fat is beautiful", maybe Yang Yuhuan is really a "big beauty" with a big head and a thick neck.
If this is the case, then the reason why Yang Yuhuan can't have children can also be explained. Modern medicine has shown that if a woman is too obese, her ovaries will no longer ovulate, resulting in infertility.
Some wild histories say that Yang Yuhuan lost her fertility because of the long-term use of "polypin pills". The so-called "polypin pills" are actually a skin care product, and it is said that they are attached to the belly button to keep the skin smooth and silky.
The ingredient list of "polypin pills" not only contains musk, but also some alchemy substances that are harmful to the human body, and long-term use of this product will cause irreversible serious consequences to the body, such as loss of fertility.
There is also a theory that Yang Yuhuan lost her fertility because of her poor lifestyle habits, such as eating cold food for a long time and liking to drink for fun.
Although the above claims are well-founded, there are not enough historical records to rely on to be convincing, and we cannot fully believe them. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Yang Yuhuan really has a physical problem, the author also thinks that Li Longji's attitude is the fundamental reason why she has been unable to have children for a long time, because letting her daughter-in-law conceive a child is simply a big joke in the world!
It all started before Concubine Wu Hui died. This Concubine Wu Hui is the grandniece and granddaughter of the empress Wu Zetian, under the protection of the latter, Concubine Wu Hui gradually developed a well-behaved and good character, and the most important thing is that she inherited Wu Zetian's beauty.
After Li Longji ascended to the throne, he fell in love with this white-skinned and beautiful beauty with a bewitching figure at a glance, and canonized her as Jieyu. And Concubine Wu Hui, who won Wu Ze's innocence and innocence, showed a strong competitiveness in the harem, and she soon completely captured Li Longji's heart, and was promoted to Concubine Hui all the way, becoming the most favored woman around Li Longji.
To what extent was Concubine Wu Hui favored? It can be said that Li Longji trusted her almost unconditionally! At that time, in order to eradicate her rival Empress Wang, Concubine Wu Hui joined forces with Li Linfu to frame the three brothers of the crown prince Li Ying with the intention of rebellion. It can be seen how charming Concubine Wu Hui is!
It is no exaggeration to say that if Concubine Wu Hui had been alive, there would have been nothing to do with Yang Yuhuan, even if the latter was more good-looking, Concubine Wu Hui would use her ruthless means to let Yang Yuhuan see the sinister nature of society.
However, Concubine Wu Hui's life has not always been smooth, and she has encountered great hardships in childbirth. has been in love with Li Longji for many years, Concubine Wu Hui has suffered several miscarriages, and finally gave birth to three children but all of them died.
Such a tragic experience made Concubine Wu Hui very sensitive and uneasy, so when Li Mao was born, she showed extremely strong doting feelings, and even made up her mind to help her son ascend to the throne, which is also the reason why Li Ying's three brothers were framed.
Under the protection of his mother, Li Mao lived a nourishing life, became the king of Shou at the age of seven, served as the governor of Yizhou at the age of nine, and the ambassador of Jiannan Jiedu at the age of nineteen, and was crowned as the third division of the Kaifu Yitong at the age of seventeen, and it is obvious that he stood at the finish line as soon as he was born.
In July of the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan (734 AD), Princess Xianyi held a wedding in Luoyang, and Li Mao, who was only 16 years old, also participated in this wedding. At this wedding, he met Yang Yuhuan and fell in love with him at first sight, which also laid the groundwork for his later cuckolding.
In fact, Yang Yuhuan's own family conditions are very good, otherwise it would not be possible to be qualified to participate in the princess's wedding celebration. Yang Yuhuan was born in a family of eunuchs, his great-grandfather Yang Wang served as the official secretary of the Sui Dynasty and Shangzhuguo, his father Yang Xuanyan served as the secretary of Shuzhou, and his uncle Yang Xuanqian served as Tucao of Henan Prefecture.
Yang Yuhuan received a good education since she was a child, so that she can not only sing and dance, be good at pipa playing, but also have a good cultural literacy, in short, "beautiful and talented".
Such conditions are extremely sought-after anywhere, and the same is true for the ignorant young man Li Mao, who thought about Yang Yuhuan for a long time, and finally let his mother Wu Huifei be the matchmaker, and soon the two got married. Due to the promotion of Concubine Wu Hui behind her, Yang Yuhuan was directly named Princess Shou by Li Longji, and her social status skyrocketed.
After getting married, Li Mao and Yang Yuhuan were very affectionate, and their lives were quite happy, but unfortunately such a beautiful life disappeared because of the death of Concubine Wu Hui.
As we said earlier, Concubine Wu Hui designed to frame the three brothers of the crown prince Li Ying in order to clear the obstacles for her son, because of her weak heart, Concubine Wu Hui often had nightmares at night, dreaming that the three brothers of Li Ying turned into ghosts and asked her for their lives. Over time, Concubine Wu Hui's health became worse and worse, and she finally died in the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan at the age of thirty-eight.
Concubine Wu Hui's death was simply earth-shattering news for Li Longji, for a long time he didn't want to think about tea and food, he was depressed all day long, and even the things that he was usually very keen on men and women couldn't make him interested, and as time went by, Li Longji's health became worse and worse.
Li Longji himself doesn't care about his body, but some people are very concerned about his dragon body. Seeing that the body of the lord of a country is not as good as day by day, his doglegs are like ants on a hot pot and are in a hurry, so someone told him that Princess Shou is beautiful and fragrant, and she can replace Concubine Wu Hui to become his new love.
In this regard, the "New Tang Dynasty Book" records:
"Concubine Wu Hui, there is no one in the Hou Court who is the emperor. Or the concubine's posture is strong, and it is advisable to fill the court, so she is called to be in the middle of the ban. ”
At first, Li Longji refused in his heart, after all, the object was his daughter-in-law, and as an elder, he still had to face, but later when he saw Yang Yuhuan's face with his own eyes, he immediately put ethics and morality behind him, and wanted to get the other party in his hands.
However, at that time, the identities of the two were father-in-law and daughter-in-law, and there were moral and ethical taboos, even if the Tang Dynasty was free and open-minded, they could not accept ethical behavior.
Of course, this is also difficult for Li Longji, who holds the power in the world, and soon he thought of a trick to hide from the world. Li Longji first asked Yang Yuhuan to become a Taoist priest under the guise of praying for the Empress Dowager Dou, and gave her the name "Taizhen", and then asked her to move into Taizhen Palace justifiably to facilitate the private meeting between the two.
A few years later, Yang Yuhuan gradually faded out of everyone's sight, so Li Longji let her return to the vulgar, officially included her in the harem and canonized as a concubine, and began to live a happy life without shame.
Li Longji regarded Yang Yuhuan as a substitute for Concubine Wu Hui, transferred all his former favor to her, and even wanted to take off the stars and give them to the other party.
In this way, the two loved each other for eleven years, and it was not until Li Longji forced Yang Yuhuan to commit suicide in the "Ma Weipo Change" that this affection ended.
However, the strange thing is that Yang Yuhuan failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Li Longji for such a long time, which seems very unreasonable, but combined with the sensitive and taboo identities of the two, we have reason to speculate that Yang Yuhuan is not pregnant because of Li Longji's attitude.
In fact, no matter how clever Li Longji's methods are to hide the world, he can't hide the fact that he has occupied his daughter-in-law, and everyone knows it, but they don't dare to say it because of their identity.
The reason why the victim Li Mao did not resist was not only because the two had a blood relationship, but more importantly, because the identities of the two were different.
As a father, Li Longji is already very sorry for his son, if he lets his daughter-in-law get pregnant again, it will not only force Li Mao to a dead end, but also make his last trace of face disappear.
In fact, Li Longji is still conscience, in the thirty-third year of Kaiyuan (745 AD), Li Longji suddenly felt guilty, in order to compensate for his son Li Mao, he made Wei Zhaoxun's daughter Wei become the princess of Shou, the latter was born extraordinary and his appearance is also first-class, which is a blessing in misfortune for Li Mao.
Therefore, for the sake of his own face and in order not to embarrass his son too much, Li Longji will not let Yang Yuhuan give birth to a child.
Besides, if Yang Yuhuan gives birth to a daughter, it will be fine, and if she gives birth to a son, it may bring a new political storm.
With Li Longji's fascination with Yang Yuhuan, if the latter often blows the wind in his ears, it is difficult to ensure that Li Longji can't hold back the idea of ordering the crown prince, which is very unfair to the crown prince Li Heng, and may provoke the latter's idea of rebellion, and when the situation is out of control, he Li Longji will become a sinner for the ages.
Therefore, for the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji will also not let Yang Yuhuan's child appear in the world.
All in all, the author believes that Li Longji has favored Yang Yuhuan for eleven years, but the latter did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, this strange imagination is not occasional, but inevitable.
The relationship between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan is sensitive and taboo, if the two conceive a child, it will not only make Li Longji and Li Mao lose face, but also may cause a new political storm, which will affect the safety of the entire Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is reasonable for Li Longji to let Yang Yuhuan give birth to a child.
