"The green flowers swayed and stopped, more than a hundred miles west of the capital, the six armies did not move, but they had no choice but to die in front of the horse."
A few four sentences record the life of Yang Yuhuan, this Emperor Xuanzong The legendary concubine of the period, she became the favorite of the special family as soon as she entered the palace.
Some people will inevitably find it strange that Yang Yuhuan was favored by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty for 11 years and stayed together day and night. Why didn't she give birth to a child for Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty?
Why Concubine Yang Has No Children
Having children is a very complicated process. Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, there are many couples who try their best to have children, but in the end they fail to get what they want. When Yang Yuhuan married Tang Xuanzong, Tang Xuanzong was already in his sixties. At this age, the probability of having another child was very small.
There is another very interesting thing. In fact, before Yang Yuhuan, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty also had a favorite concubine, - Concubine Wu Hui.
Concubine Wu Hui was also very favored by the emperor. Yang Yuhuan was favored by the emperor at first glance because she looked a bit like Concubine Wu Hui. To a certain extent, Concubine Yang was also a stand-in, but this stand-in was already there at the beginning. Is it more beloved than the original version? This also made the arrogant Yang Guifei a little sad.
In addition to the poor fertility conditions of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan's own fertility conditions were also not very good. When Yang Yuhuan was in the palace, she used a lot of spices, which may affect a woman's fertility. The reproductive conditions on both sides are not good, so naturally they cannot have children.
The second reason is that Yang Yuhuan does not need it. The reason why women in the harem want children is nothing more than a few reasons: the mother is more valuable than the child, and if the child born is promising, the mother's status will be improved accordingly.
Yang Yuhuan's status in the harem is unmatched and she does not need children to improve her status. Some concubines may feel lonely in the palace and need the company of their children. Yang Yuhuan doesn't need it either, she only has Tang Xuanzong and love in her heart. "Parents are true love, children are just accidents." Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan did not need such accidents.
is pension, which is not a problem for Yang Yuhuan. As long as you have a good relationship with Xinjun, you don't have to worry about retirement. Yang Yuhuan could even blow a pillow in front of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and influence the final ownership of the reserve. To sum up, Yang Yuhuan does not need children.
If it hadn't been for the sudden outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Yang family was outraged, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was forced to execute Concubine Yang, her life would have been very nourishing.
The third reason is that Yang Yuhuan was once the longevity king Li Mao . Li Mao was the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Yuhuan was the daughter-in-law of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Xuanzong later asked Yang Yuhuan to enter the palace under another identity, but everyone in the palace knew that Yang Yuhuan was once Tang Xuanzong's daughter-in-law. Tang Xuanzong had to take his son's mood into consideration.
The last reason is that Tang Xuanzong did not value his children. Tang Xuanzong had many children, and Tang Xuanzong could not bear to show special favor to a certain child.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was the famous "killing three sons in one day" incident. Historians have different opinions on the cause of this incident. Some people say that the reason why Tang Xuanzong did this was because relatives of the then crown prince Li Ying had done illegal things, which implicated the crown prince and two princes.
In anger, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty killed all three sons. Some people say that the prince and the two princes were killed because they fell into the trap of Concubine Wu Hui. Concubine Wu Hui sent someone to tell them that someone was attacking Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and asked three people to rescue him. The three people ran away without asking clearly. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty saw the three men going to the palace with armors and thought they were going to rebel.
was furious on the spot and killed all three of them. But no matter what the reason was, being able to kill three sons in one day proved that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty did not take his children too seriously. In this case, Yang Yuhuan did not want to have children.
Tang Xuanzong's helplessness
Originally, Tang Xuanzong planned to be with Yang Yuhuan for life.Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty felt that as the ninth emperor, he would definitely be able to protect Yang Yuhuan. After Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, the Yang family also became enlightened, and their chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. So much so that the poet wrote, "Sisters and brothers are all cracked in the earth, and the pitiful glory gives birth to a family, which makes the hearts of parents in the world not to be reborn as boys and reborn as girls."
Tang Xuanzong did not expect that the "Anshi Rebellion" would come so quickly. Almost in an instant, the prosperous Tang Dynasty that Tang Xuanzong was proud of was completely wiped out.
In troubled times, the army had absolute privileges, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went to Sichuan. The military is very important.
At this time, the actual control of the army was in the hands of Prince Li Heng. The deaths of his three brothers had made Li Heng understand that it would not be safe if he did not hold power in his own hands. Whether Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan had children or not was no longer important in the context of the time. Even if Tang Xuanzong made his son the prince, the army would not listen to his orders.
These people have a lot of hatred for Yang Yuhuan. They believe that it is because of Yang Yuhuan and the Yang family behind him that Tang Dynasty fell to this point.
But in fact, this is not the case. Yang Yuhuan is just a poor girl. In order to dance, he sacrificed his health and shouldered all the infamy.
Tang Xuanzong had no intention of risking his life for love, nor was he qualified to risk his life for love. He was the emperor, and the emperor doting on one woman alone was enough for this woman to be controversial. If the emperor lost his country because of this woman again, then this woman That is, the sin deserves death and cannot be forgiven.
Faced with the menacing army, Tang Xuanzong gave up his love. After Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty returned to Chang'an , he missed Yang Guifei very much. But Tang Xuanzong was no longer the emperor who once responded to every call. After Tang Suzong ascended the throne, he moved Tang Xuanzong's residence to a very remote place. I wonder if Tang Xuanzong would feel as if he was in another world when he recalled his life.
Yang Guifei's sadness
Yang Guifei once believed that she was invincible in breaking the harem, and her husband would protect her no matter what happened. She used Xiji Pills without any scruples, so that she could dance more beautifully and make her husband smile.
Political struggle is cruel. A woman who marries into a king's family cannot get all the king's love or power, and she must be able to endure loneliness. " As soon as he entered the Hou family, it was as deep as the sea. From then on, Xiao Lang was a passerby, especially in the deep palace.
Yang Guifei did not want children, and Tang Xuanzong was her only support, the only mountain. Her physical condition also She is not allowed to have children anymore.
There is no big difference between having children and not having children. If it was Song Renzong period, any woman who gave birth to a son for him would not be offered to heaven. Song Renzong didn't have many sons in total, and the last one died of illness.
Tang Xuanzong had many sons, and he didn't have any special feelings for his sons. Maybe Yang Guifei's sons would be different, but Yang Guifei couldn't give birth to children. After staying with King Shou for five years, she didn't have a child, and she stayed with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty for 11 years, and she didn't have a child either.
There was no reproductive department in ancient times, and Concubine Yang could only do it. Accepting her fate.
Concubine Yang's death as a favored concubine made many people sigh. After seeing the ending of Concubine Yang, what happened to Xuanhe in the end? It's not like he was sentenced to death with just one word from the emperor.
In the end, Tang Xuanzong failed to save Yang Guifei, and he also failed to save other women. Love was the most unreliable in ancient times, and sons were more or less reliable in ancient times. Pay attention to filial piety. Under normal circumstances, children always have to take care of their parents.
Men's hearts are broken into pieces. Maybe he has many true loves, and you are just one of them. Without you, there will be others. But if there is no life, there really is nothing.
In ancient times, when sacrifice was needed, men would let women take the lead. Some people would ask women to take the initiative to sacrifice for men. Failure to do so was a challenge to the current social order and was disobedience.
From this point of view, Concubine Yang can be considered lucky. At least, Tang Xuanzong did not ask her to sacrifice her life or death.
