People often say that dirty Tang and smelly Han means that Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty , the palace life was very voluptuous and corrupt. Many emperors have indulged in wine and sex since they ascended the throne. At the most, there were five or six thousand maids in the palace!
But, does this mean that the more concubines, the more princes there are?
In fact, the number of princes is not proportional to the number of concubines.
According to " Han Shu " and " Later Han Shu ", the number of princes of the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty was counted.

Emperor Huan of Han : 0 sons, 3 daughters
Emperor Ling of Han : Not to record the specific details, no more than 3, 1 female

Among so many emperors, Emperor Cheng of Han and Emperor Huan of Han are the most indulgent in wine and sex, and Emperor Huan of Han even had five or six thousand imperial women! But Emperor Cheng of Han and Emperor Huan of Han did not have a prince!
This means whether there are many princes, not the number of concubines, but the emperor himself.
