In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao and Liu Liu have a common hobby: they like to use the emperor. Meng De blackmailed tianzi to order the princes, and others opposed his orders, which was against the Han Emperor and against the central government. Liu Beifeng said that "after the King of Zhongshan Jing, His Excellency The Great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing", as a relative of the Han Dynasty, he attracted those who were dissatisfied with the current situation to turn to himself and help himself, and later Cao Pi usurped the throne, and then ascended the throne as an emperor, putting forward the political slogan of "reviving the Han Room and returning to the old capital".
People who question Liu Bei often think that he is not a relative of the Han Dynasty, but a counterfeit who is good at packaging. According to the Book of Han, Liu Sheng, the king of Jing in Zhongshan, "had more than one hundred and twenty sons in good wine", had more than one hundred and twenty sons, and had extremely strong fertility, each son regenerated four or five grandchildren, each grandson regenerated four or five heavy grandchildren, and has been born, Liu Sheng's descendants are less than a few thousand, which one does Liu Bei belong to? How authentic is it? I don't know, so is it possible that he is "touching porcelain"? Deliberately chose King Jing of Zhongshan as his ancestor, anyway, there are many descendants, a long time, coupled with the war in the last years of the new Mang, it is more troublesome to verify.
But then again, Liu Sheng can give birth to more than a hundred sons, although the number of daughters is not recorded, eight or ninety should be there, the children add up to more than two hundred, the ability is not to be said to be not strong, usually the sound of dogs and horses, lingering among the mellow wine and beautiful women, he once said to Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao: "Brother is the king, the special official governs things; the king listens to music that day, the royal voice", brother! Brother advised you, don't go to work, don't deal with any government affairs, isn't it fragrant to be a salted fish? King Zhao was a self-motivated man and despised him very much: "But the King of Zhongshan is extravagant, and does not follow the people with the Son of Heaven, how can he be called a vassal!" ”
In terms of having children, King Jing of Zhongshan is indeed the best among the princes, although his resources are not as rich as the emperor, the result of the output is crushed, and the Tongzhi and Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty have to be envious when they see it: We can't even give birth to a fraction of Brother Sheng. The emperor's profession should theoretically have the most children, they have three palaces and six courtyards, three thousand beautiful women, not as sad as single dogs; in order to ensure the continuity of the regime, a large number of heirs are needed as heirs, otherwise the hard-working Jiangshan, no prince to inherit the family business will be embarrassing. Who are the emperors of the past and the present who have the most children?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >Top1: Feng Bao</h1>
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > quantity: 100+</h1>
Feng Bao was not very famous in history, and he was born as a military general and was the emperor of northern Yan, the sixteen kingdoms divided the regime. Twenty-one years on the throne, the age of the death of the history books are not recorded. In the seventh year of Yuan Jia, Feng Bao was seriously ill, and he had a concubine Lady Song, who wanted to make his son emperor, so he falsely passed on the holy will, did not allow the ministers of the DPRK to visit the palace, and prepared to make some small moves or something. Feng Bao's younger brother Feng Hong led the samurai to break into the palace to quell the chaos, and shot and killed a palace maid on the spot, Feng Bao was dying, witnessed his brother killing people, was frightened, and died directly. Feng Hong, seeing his brother Yan Chai, simply got rid of the crown prince and plotted to usurp the throne, because of the improper position, worried that his brother's sons were waiting for an opportunity to rebel, so he killed the killer and killed his nephews.
How many people were killed? The Zizhi Tongjian records that "Taizu had more than a hundred sons, and Hong killed them", and more than a hundred sons of Feng Bao were killed by his uncle. As for how many daughters were born, there is no record, according to the number of sons, dozens should be there. Although Feng Bao was extremely fertile, it was a pity that he could not handle the problem of the transfer of power, resulting in more than a hundred sons being in different places, which was really sad.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >TOP2: Emperor Huizong of Song</h1>
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > number: 80</h1>
The Song Dynasty had two interesting emperors: Emperor Renzong and Emperor Huizong. Song Renzong "can't do everything, he will only be an official", he can't do anything, he will only be an emperor, so after his death, even the liao monarch silently shed tears; Song Huizong "can do everything, but he can't be the ear of the king", he can do anything, that is, he can't do the emperor's share, so he destroyed the country. Things like having children and loving men and women just belong to the category of Song Huizong's "all-powerful", and it is his strength.
At the beginning of Emperor Huizong's reign, there were not many children under his knees, and Zhao Yao was also worried, often sullen and unhappy, and the inheritance of Emperor Taizong of Taizu could not succeed no one in my generation! A Taoist monk named Liu Chaokang gave Huizong a suggestion: The northeast corner of Bieliang City has excellent feng shui, but unfortunately the terrain is too low-lying, and if it can be improved, it will inevitably be a good omen for many men. After hearing this, Zhao Tuo thought so, and ordered people to increase the terrain and build an earthen mound, and it was not long before the harem did hear the good news of pregnancy and childbirth. Emperor Huizong of Song thought that this was the credit of Liu Daochang, but in fact it was just a coincidence, mainly because the emperor had conditioned his body and indulged in concubines.
When the Jingkang Revolution occurred, in the harem of Emperor Huizong of Song, there were more than one hundred and forty women with titles, and more than five hundred women without titles, which was only the number of Jingkang years, and those who had died before were not counted, if they were counted, they would definitely be more. There are documents that record that Emperor Huizong has to use a virgin every 5-7 days, and if he feels satisfied, he must also give people a title, so there are many famous women in the palace, and the probability of giving birth to a princess is particularly large.
In the twenty-five years of his reign, there were many records in the history books of the release of palace women, ancient society, which was an imperial virtue, they lived deep in the inner palace, they may not see the emperor for a lifetime, and finally died of the court, very pitiful. Allow them to marry in the palace, and they can enjoy the joy of the world. But there is an entry and exit, the history books frequently mention Huizong out of the palace, but never mention the palace girl, to the degree of Huizong's desire for the opposite sex, it must be a steady stream of in, a steady stream of out, people have changed a batch of batches, the favorites are left, and those who are not looked at are put back into the folk.
After a long time, Zhao Tuo could not satisfy the women in the palace, and he also ran outside the palace to find flowers and ask for willows, looking for a famous prostitute Li Shishi, which became the talk of people after tea and dinner. It is precisely because of the indulgence of eroticism that There were many children of Emperor Huizong of Song, and before the fall of the country, 32 princes and 34 princesses were born, and the more famous ones were the eldest son Song Qinzong Zhao Huan and the ninth son Song Gaozong Zhao Shuo. After the Jing Kang Rebellion, most of Emperor Huizong's children of Song died in a miserable end, some died on the way north, and some were regarded as spoils of war by the Jin people, and were sent to brothels that were not called brothels, and were humiliated at will. During his time in the northeast, Zhao Tuo was once rewarded by the Jin people because he had six daughters who gave birth to boys for the Jin Guozong, and the emperor was very happy and decided to give him clothes and other items to encourage him. After Emperor Huizong received the reward, he thanked Dade and immediately wrote down a song to express his gratitude. This was also a helpless choice, the country was destroyed, the daughters were snatched and raped by the nobles of the enemy country, and they gave birth to children, and he had to express his gratitude.
In the forest and sea snow field in the northern country, Zhao Tuo lived for another eight years, but he did not expect that his sword was not old, old and strong, and he could give birth to six sons and eight daughters. When Emperor Gaozong of Song was worried about the crown prince because jin soldiers were going south and had lost their fertility, he would never have thought that emperor Taishang had given birth to more than a dozen younger brothers and sisters to him in the north.
According to the Song Dynasty system, if a woman is fortunate to be blessed by the emperor, she will kneel outside the Gate of Hemen xie en the next day, and more than a hundred years later, during the reign of Emperor Duzong of Song, there were more than thirty women kneeling at the hemen xie en at the same time, which made the onlookers stunned: This is something done by people? The genetic fruit of Huizong's "wind flow" was then followed by someone, flowing in the blood.

Li Longji was also a mercurial emperor, and in seventy-eight years of life, he gave birth to a total of thirty princes and twenty-nine princesses, almost half to half, very balanced. During the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years, the national situation was generally stable, and the population and economy were the peak of the Tang Empire, which provided a material basis for Emperor Tang to have many children. The number of Concubines of Li Longji was quite large, otherwise where did the fifty-nine children come from, and there were thirty-seven titles, Empress Wang, Zhao Lifei, Emperor Fu Deyi, Gao Jieyu, Liu Jieyu and others all occupied a place in Xuanzong's heart, the most famous of which were Wu Huifei and Yang Guifei.
Empress Wang was the wife of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who had been infertile for many years and had not given birth to a man and a half woman. However, Concubine Wu Huifei came to the top and was favored by Li Longji, giving birth to several princes and princesses. Under the threat of love enemies, the status of Empress Wang was impacted, she wanted to have children to save her husband's heart, but she could not conceive anything, her brother Wang Shouyi invited monks to worship Nandou and Beidou, and carved heaven and earth texts on a piece of thunderbolt wood and the emperor's name, praying to heaven and earth to make the empress pregnant. This kind of behavior was illegal at the time, and soon, the matter was revealed, Wang Shouyi was given death, and The empress wang was also deposed as a commoner, and the edict criticized her for "the destiny of heaven is not blessed, flashy and unrealistic", in fact, the queen did not know the hidden risks, but the amorous husband favored other women, threatened her own throne, and she could not sit still.
After Wu Huifei's death, "although there are thousands of good families in the palace, there are no pleasing people, and the upper heart is suddenly unhappy", although there are thousands of harem beauties, none of them satisfy Tang Xuanzong, which also shows that there are many women and high requirements, and ordinary people have been unable to enter the eyes of the law, of course, except for daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan.
Although the love story of the two of them has been circulated for more than a thousand years, Yang Guifei still has the experience of being driven back to her mother's house twice, the reason is a word "jealous", although Li Longji is fifty or sixty years old, she will still soak with other women, so that the twenty or thirty-year-old noble concubine Niangniang is jealous. "Concubine Taizhen often invades because of jealousy", after the two sides broke down, the old emperor would not be able to eat, could not sleep, punished the palace women and eunuchs, and was not in a bad mood, so he invited Yang Yuhuan back.
The object of the concubine's jealousy is unknown, some people say that it is Lady Yuguo, some people say that it is Concubine Mei, and some people say that Tang Xuanzong still wants to choose a beautiful woman to enter the palace, and Yang Guifei is dissatisfied. Whether it was Empress Wang being deposed or Yang Yuhuan returning to her mother's house twice, it was because of Emperor Tang Ming's affection, he was like this at the age of twenty or thirty, and it was still the same at the age of fifty or sixty. The original intention has not changed, and it is not surprising that there are many children.

Friends who have been to the Qing Dongling tombs in Zunhua, Hebei Province, will be shocked by the Kangxi Emperor's huge Jingling Concubine Garden, which is densely buried with more than fifty concubines, which is still the one who was fortunate and had a title before his death, counting those who have not been lucky, or who have not even been titled, how many people should there be? In terms of the number of children, Kangxi gave birth to a total of thirty-five princes and twenty princesses, for a total of fifty-five.
Kangxi Southern Tour Volume VI
As early as the age of eleven or twelve, the Kangxi Emperor was already married and in some ways precocious. In the seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, after the Return of the Korean envoys, they described the Qing Emperor in this way: "Although the age is small and quite strong, in previous years the palace women had given birth to men, and this year there are pregnant people, outsiders know it, and even secret it." A few years ago, there were already palace women who gave birth to him, and this year I heard that there were pregnancies, and the outside world knew about it, but I didn't dare to say it. According to official Qing court records, the eldest son of Kangxi was born in the sixth year of Kangxi, when he was only thirteen years old and was already a father. If this had happened in modern times, it would certainly have been said that parents neglected to discipline their children, but in the early Qing Dynasty, it was very normal. In terms of having children, Kangxi can be said to live to be old and work until he is old, Yin Rong is already more than forty years old, and his younger siblings are still being born. Kangxi's youngest son, Yin Yun, was born in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, when the old emperor was already sixty-five years old.
Because of the power in his hands, Kangxi could continuously select show girls according to the system and enrich the harem. Once a year, the imperial family will select a showgirl from the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and once every three years, it will select a showgirl from the eight banners of Manchuria, Mongolia and Han, and the number of candidates each time is nearly 3,000. As the saying goes, "if there is something good on the top, there will be something good in the bottom", the courtiers learned that the emperor's demand for beautiful women was relatively large, and they would also take the initiative to search for it in the folk and dedicate it to the emperor, hoping to get the favor of the saints, and finally add officials to the knighthood. According to the French missionary Bai Jin, "When the Kangxi Emperor toured the Nanjing area and drove the city of Nanjing, the local governor presented the seven most beautiful beauties of the emperor in the form of tributes. Although the emperor took them in, he did not even look at them", indicating that he was not very interested in Kangxi's appetite, and slapped the horse's ass on the horse's hoof. In the forty-second year of Kangxi, the emperor toured Taiyuan Province in the west, and the inspector of Shanxi Province, Gari, "prepared four beautiful women to contribute to the emperor", but was rejected by Kangxi, and he questioned whether Gari wanted to use the "beauty plan" to treat him as someone. Yes, in front of so many people to send beautiful women to the leader, the leader has always asked to abide by the etiquette law, how can it be good to accept it? Of course, Kangxi had too many concubines, and his subordinates were indeed not very impressed.
In addition to the emperors mentioned above, there were also more children of Chen Xuandi Chen, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang Taizong Li Shimin and so on. There are not only the founding emperors of the dynasty, but also the shoucheng kings who strive to govern, and there are also the mercurial sons of the country who have fallen or are about to perish. It seems that emperors with many children and concubines are not necessarily emperors, they are just keen on this.
