Tongzhi, Guangxu, and Xuantong, these were the last three emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Looking at the lives of these three emperors, we find a strange phenomenon that none of these three emperors had an imperial heir. The three emperors ascended the throne at the age of 6, 4 and 3 years, and died at the age of 19, 38 and 61, respectively.
If Tongzhi is too young and Puyi has no heirs because he has lived in fear for a long time, then how can Guangxu have no heirs? Guangxu had an empress, two famous concubines, and many young palace ladies in the harem. Logically, Guangxu was also married, and he should not be childless in his prime.
He was not interested in Empress Longyu, but he still favored Princess Zhen and summoned her almost every time, but Princess Zhen did not give birth to a prince. Flipping through the Guangxu Dynasty's living notes, we found the reason, "The disease of sperm will be more than twenty years, the first few years will be dozens of times a month, in recent years it has only been two or three times a month, xiao Wu dreamless that is, when he is self-abandoned, the winter is worse." ”
Sperm was left behind, which was an important reason why Guangxu had no heirs. Guangxu himself also believes that "the illness began at the beginning, but the dizziness and medication were ineffective." Then the chest is full, and then the abdomen is bloated. There is no need to see loose stools, sperm, waist soreness, and weak feet. The medicine taken during this period is rhubarb as the most wrong symptom. ”
According to medical research, sperm loss originates from "kidney qi deficiency, can not hide sperm, so sperm leakage". Sperm is extremely harmful to the body, resulting in infertility, not to mention, in times of low medical care can be fatal. Guangxu's sperm is very long, "when you first hear the sound of the gong during the day, you feel that your heart is moving and you are self-excreted, and the same is true for your dreams at night." ”
In the year when Guangxu was 36 years old, the year before Guangxu's death, Guangxu published the history of his sperm. We saw a shocking scene, the time of Guangxu sperm was 20 years, which meant that Guangxu began to lose sperm at the age of 17, and in the end, even a dozen times a month, once to the point of "kidney sperm loss is too much, unable to vent." ”
Guangxu reigned for 34 years, especially after he took power, and the power of the court was in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi, and she became a puppet emperor herself. After the failure of the "Wushu Reform Law", Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai, which further aggravated his condition. In addition to aggravating the condition with a depressed mood, it has a lot to do with Guangxu's distrust of the imperial doctor's diagnosis.
Guangxu, who has been ill for many years, often participates in the diagnosis of the imperial doctor himself, and changes the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctors at will, and even prescribes his own medicine. For the sake of their lives, the imperial doctors can only have Guangxu Hulai, and the sperm is difficult to cure, and Guangxu is so uncooperative that it is difficult to have a good effect.
