Wu Zetian and Tang Taizong Li Shimin were together for twelve years and failed to give birth to a son or a daughter. But after marrying Li Shimin's son Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, she gave birth to six children in a row. What on earth is going on?

There are only two possibilities for a woman to marry a man and be unable to have children for more than ten years. One is a man's problem, and the other is a woman's problem. If there is no problem with both of them, then the problem can be imagined.

The actual situation of Tang Taizong's harem at that time

Li Shimin's harem was very substantial. His queen was the historically famous Changsun Queen. The number of Li Shimin's heirs is not a small number. There are fifteen princes and twenty-one princesses. This number of heirs is enough to prove that Li Shimin's fertility is not a problem, and his physical fitness is not bad.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was a romantic and lustful emperor. He had hundreds of concubines in three palaces and six courtyards in the harem. He also loved many women. The queen was the famous Changsun Empress in history, and he also had favorite concubines: Wei Guifei , Princess Qi , Daoxiren, Xu Hui and so on.

Wu Zetian's situation

Wu Zetian entered the palace at the age of fourteen. When she entered the palace, her rank was designated as a fifth-grade talent. She served Li Shimin for 12 years until Li Shimin's death. Wu Zetian's rank was still a fifth-grade talent.

Wu Meiniang, who has served Li Shimin for 12 years, and Li Shimin have no children. Later, she and Li Zhi had four sons and two daughters. Among the sons, Li Xian, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty, and Li Dan, Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty, are the most noble, while Princess Taiping is the most famous daughter.

Wu Zetian gave birth to 6 children. Her fertility was unusual and she was not a woman with fertility problems.

The happy marriage between Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Empress Changsun

Empress Changsun came from a famous family, and the Changsun family was a royal family at that time. As early as when Empress Changsun was young, her elders made the decision and made an in-law marriage with the family of Li Yuan, who was still the Duke of Tang Dynasty at that time.

There is a proverb in the West: A sweet life is not just about eating sugar, but more often about growing sugar cane.

When the Tang Dynasty was first established, Li Shimin, who was already the king of Qin, conquered all directions in the name of his father and destroyed the four countries in three battles. His great achievements soon aroused the suspicion of his brother Li Jiancheng. Therefore, there were often people in the former dynasty and the harem. Li Yuan spoke ill of Li Shimin in front of him. When Queen Changsun saw this, she took the initiative to take responsibility.

She often went in and out of the palace and served her father-in-law Li Yuan wholeheartedly. She also deliberately won over the concubines in the harem, eased the conflicts between Li Shimin and the palace, and bridged the gap between Li Shimin and his father.

Historical records record that "Later, he was filial to his ancestors and respectful to his concubines, so that he could help his wife at home." Under the planning and operation of Empress Changsun, Li Yuan did not listen to the slanderous words and punished Li Shimin, which later bought time for Li Shimin to fight back.

In the later well-known Xuanwumen Incident, the figure of Queen Changsun became clearer. Both the old and new Tang Dynasty books have recorded, "It was difficult to do, so Emperor Taizong introduced the soldiers into the palace to give them armor at the Xuanwu Gate. Later, he personally comforted them, and everyone on the left and right was grateful."

At the critical moment of life and death, Empress Changsun rushed to the front line, personally comforted the soldiers, inspired the military morale, and fought side by side with Li Shimin. This feeling of going through hardships and sharing life and death is different from love and even surpasses family affection, but it can take root in the deepest part of the heart and grow into a part of each other.

Li Shimin has a heart, and he and Queen Changsun are in love with each other. Even though Queen Changsun died young, Li Shimin still misses his queen.

Wu Zetian is not Li Shimin’s type.

Li Shimin has a very strong personality, probably because of the complementary relationship between men and women, so he especially likes women who are gentle, considerate, virtuous, kind, and charming, such as Concubine Wei, Princess Qi, Daoxiren, Xu Hui, etc. .

Wu Zetian also has a strong personality.

According to historical records: "Taizong had a horse named Cong, a famous master, but he was fat and could not be controlled. I was a palace maid, and I said to Taizong: I can control it, but I need three things, one iron whip, two irons, and three daggers. .If the person refuses to obey the blow with the iron whip, use his head; if he refuses to obey, use a dagger to cut his throat. Taizong strengthened my ambition. "

Once, Li Shimin accidentally got a good horse named "Lion Cong", but this horse was very stubborn and no one in the palace could tame it. Li Shimin joked: "Who among you can tame it? Got it? Wu Zetian immediately stood up and said that he could.

Li Shimin was very curious and asked Wu Zetian: "This can only be done by men. How can you, a weak woman, tame a fierce horse?" "

only heard Wu Zetian say: "Just give me three things, an iron whip, an iron hammer and a dagger. If it refuses to obey, I will whip it with a whip; if it refuses to obey, I will hit its head with a hammer; if it still refuses to obey, I will cut its neck with a dagger. "

Although Li Shimin laughed after hearing this, he suddenly felt that Wu Zetian was cruel and ruthless..

She sacrificed her life for the savior to escape the blood disaster caused by the rumor that "after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine King Wu "

Wu Meiniang's first time On the night when she went to bed with Li Shimin, there was thunder and lightning outside, and a flash of lightning lit up Li Shimin's palace. Then there was a thunderous explosion, and the beams above Li Shimin's palace were broken. At this critical moment, Wu Zetian threw himself on her Li Shimin's body.

The beam fell but did not hurt them. Li Shimin was also deeply grateful to Wu Zetian for that disaster, but Wu Zetian never had the chance to sleep with him in the following days.

When the later eunuchs were cleaning up the scene, But he picked up a book. When Li Shimin opened it, he saw 12 large characters written on it: "After the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine Wu Wang ruled the world."

At that time, Li Shimin already knew that Wu Zetian might later take over his world. Woman.

In the end, there were two reasons why Li Shimin couldn't bear to kill her:

1. Wu Zetian threw herself on Li Shimin risklessly when lightning struck Li Shimin's palace, saving Li Shimin's life. Faced with such a great favor, Li Shimin Can't bear to kill her.

2. Li Shimin didn't believe that Wu Zetian could win his world.

3. The two outstanding prophets of the Tang Dynasty Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng said in unison: Moreover, the fifth generation of the Tang Dynasty cannot violate it! The king still belongs to the Li family.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Shimin finally gave up the plan to kill Wu Zetian. However, during his reign, Wu Zetian never had the courage to risk his life, and Wu Meiniang hooked up with the prince Li Zhixin. When Li Shimin was seriously ill, Wu Zetian was there to take care of him. As the heir to the throne, Li Zhi often went to greet Li Shimin. Wu Zetian knew that this was the only chance for him to get out of trouble. She fully demonstrated her charm in front of Li Zhi and finally captured the heart of the future emperor. The two had a secret affair.

It took a lot of courage to have an affair with the prince before Tang Taizong's bedside, but Wu Zetian did it just right. In May of the first year of Yonghui (650), he met Li Zhi by chance, and in May of the first year of Yonghui , according to the etiquette, Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, came to Ganye Temple to offer incense to commemorate the anniversary of Li Shimin’s death. Wu Zetian could carve the inscription at the place where Li Zhi must pass Make a love poem.

The name of this poem is "Ruyi Niang":

Looking at Zhu Chengbi, she is full of thoughts, and she is haggard and fragmented in memory of you.

If you don’t believe me, I often cry recently when I unbox the pomegranate skirt.

The main idea of ​​the poem is: I am confused and in a daze. I see all red as green, and I am about to run a red light. Why am I so haggard? Just because I think about you all day long. If you don’t believe that I cry silently every day because I miss you, just open the box and look at my pomegranate red dress, which is covered with mottled stains of my tears.

Li Zhi, who values ​​​​love, recalled his relationship with Wu Meiniang. Wu Zetian once again created an opportunity to meet each other by chance. The two talked to each other about their lovesickness after farewell and their love for each other.

Li Zhi, who returned to the palace, could not forget Wu Meiniang. In May 651, Wu Zetian successfully entered the palace again.

Wu Zetian's method was superb. She was already pregnant with Li Zhi's child before entering the palace. After entering the palace, she gave birth to her son Li Hong.

History is always so confusing. At the top of the pyramid of power, the palace, without superb calculations, you can only become someone else's pawn and be abandoned at any time. Wu Zetian was well versed in this logic at a young age, which paved the way for him to gradually take power and seize Li Tang's kingdom.
