Why doesn't Sun Shangxiang have a man and a woman with Liu Beisheng?

"Zhou Lang's coup is to protect the world, lose his wife and lose his soldiers!" This two-part allegorical saying is well known The "lady" in The Lost Lady and the Lost Soldier is what we call Sun Shangxiang. Of course, the allusion to this sentence appears in Romance of the Three Kingdoms and drama literature. For hundreds of years, the story between Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei has been the talk of people in their leisure time. Sun Shangxiang also became a famous ancient woman.

Most of us know Sun Shangxiang from childhood stories and plays, not from history books. Sun Shangxiang himself has no name in the history books. We only know that her name is Mrs. Sun. The name Sun Shangxiang first appeared in plays and literary works. Let's call it Sun Shangxiang, whether Mrs. Sun's name is Sun Shangxiang or not.

The marriage process between Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei is not as described in the novel. The marriage with Liu Bei is actually a political marriage, which is the result of the alliance between Sun and Liu. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Sun Quan married his sister to Liu Bei, consolidating the alliance between Sun and Liu. We don't know when Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei. About 208 years later, Sun Shangxiang returned to Wu Dong in 2 1 1. After that, until Sun Shangxiang died, there were few records about him in the history books. Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei also lived together for about 3 years. However, there has never been a son and a half between Sun and Liu, and the alliance between Sun and Liu has not been "completed". Why didn't Sun Shangxiang give Liu Beisheng a son and a half?

Liu Bei is not childless. According to historical records, Liu Bei has at least three sons. In addition, it is said that he has a daughter. According to historical records, Liu has four sons: Liu Feng, Liu Lihe. Since Liu Bei once had a son, it shows that Liu Bei is in good health and at least has fertility. As for why Sun Shangxiang didn't have children, I think there are several main reasons.

Liu Bei's fertility is not strong

Liu Bei must have some fertility, but Liu Bei should not. At least not as strong as Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Liu Feng is nominally Liu Bei's eldest son, but in fact he is only Liu Bei's adopted son. Liu Bei adopted Liu Feng because Liu Bei had no children. Liu Bei adopted Liu Feng with the intention of adopting a son for himself. After that, Liu Beicai gave birth to three brothers, including Liu Chan. Liu Bei was 46 years old when he gave birth to Liu Chan. This era is old, both ancient and modern. Of course, there may have been children who died before Liu Bei, but the historical data did not specify it. Liu Bei had unknown wives such as Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Sun all his life. The number of Liu Bei's wives far exceeds the number of children, and neither Mrs. Sun has any children.

Liu Bei's fertility is not particularly strong, and Mrs. Mi has no clear birth record and no children, so it is normal for Mrs. Sun to have no children.

In addition, according to relevant data, Liu Bei has a certain fetish tendency. It is said that Liu Bei likes jade people very much, and he was distracted by jade people that year. Liu Bei's fetishism may also be one of the reasons for his weak fertility.

Couples are not as normal as children.

Whether in ancient or modern times, couples may or may not have children together. In fact, this couple will definitely have a baby together. Some royal nobles have many wives, but not many children. Couples don't necessarily have children when they are together. I don't know how many concubines there were in ancient times, and I never gave birth to children. For example, Emperor Wendi loved Mrs. Shen very much, but Mrs. Shen never had children. Zhao Yanfei likes them very much. They all have no children. Two children, sometimes depends on probability and fate. Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei have been together for three years, which is not long. It is completely understandable that two people have no children.

There is a big age gap between Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang.

In marriage and love, although age is not a problem, it may be a problem to some extent. In ancient times, it was not uncommon for an old man to have few wives and no children, such as Li Longji and Yang Guifei. The year of Liu Bei's birth and death is clearly recorded in the history books. Liu Bei was born in 16 1 and died in 223. We don't know when Sun Shang was born.

We can work out Sun Shangxiang's age. Sun Shangxiang is Sun Quan's sister, but she is certainly not as good as Sun Quan. Sun Quan was born in 182, 2 years younger than Liu Bei. In other words, Liu Bei is at least 2 1 year older than Sun Shangxiang. In fact, the gap between the two may be even greater. If Liu Bei is 22 years older than Sun Shangxiang, they will get married when Sun Shangxiang is 25. There were not many unmarried women at the age of 25 in ancient times. Therefore, Liu Bei is about 30 years older than Sun Shangxiang.

There is a big difference in age between the two people, and the time together is not long. Two people can understand without children.

Liu Bei is in the stage of starting a business, so it is difficult to care about whether he has children.

After Battle of Red Cliffs in 208, it was the most important and crucial stage in Liu Bei's entrepreneurial career. At this time, Liu Bei needs to occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou at the same time. In 208 and 209, Liu Bei personally led an army to attack Nanjun and four southern counties. 2 10 years later, Liu Bei began to plan to seize Yizhou. 2 1 1 year, Liu Bei personally led the army into Yizhou.

Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang have been married for three years, and Liu Bei has been in the leading position in these two years. Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang may also be separated from each other. Liu Bei usually has a good relationship with his generals, such as sleeping with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Historically speaking:

If the deceased Lord sleeps with two people, he will sleep together, and if he is a brother. The thick people sit wide and stand up all day, dealing with their ancestors and not avoiding difficulties and obstacles.

Two people have been together for several years. If they are separated, it is understandable that they have no children. After Liu Bei married Mrs. Wu, he also led troops all the year round. Mrs. Wu Canfu understands that she has no children.

The relationship between two people is subtle and not good.

The marriage between Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei is a political marriage. If Sun Quan has a sister who hasn't married, it is estimated that she is the sister who married Liu Bei. Liu Bei has no younger brother or son to marry Sun Shangxiang, so in the end, Liu Bei can only complete the political marriage. Sun Quan is willing to marry his sister to Liu Bei, mainly to consolidate the alliance between Sun and Liu.

When Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei, Liu Bei was not strong and lagged behind Sun Quan. If not handled properly, Liu Bei may be annexed by Sun Quan and Cao Cao. So when Liu Bei married Sun Shangxiang, he not only got a wife, but also got an "ancestor". In fact, the married life of Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang is not happy. Sun Shangxiang, with the strength of her family, also performed strongly. This point has been mentioned many times in history books. The reflection, Shu Shu Pang Tong's true story records:

At the beginning, Sun Quan took his sister's wife as the first Lord, and her sister was quick and fierce. She has the style of a brother, and more than a hundred maids are standing by with knives. Every time the first master went in, he was always in awe.

Every time Liu Bei enters the bridal chamber, it is like attending the "Hongmen Banquet". If there is no maid or sword in the bridal chamber, how can Liu Canbei be in the mood to have children? It is estimated that Liu Bei was most worried about his own life at that time. At that time, it was not only Liu Bei who was afraid of Liu Bei's life, but also Liu Bei's men, such as Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng once persuaded Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang to keep a certain distance. "Huayang National Records" records:

Mrs. Sun is shrewd and fierce, and has the wind of brothers. Hundreds of maids all stand with swords. Every time my late master got off the bus, he was always in awe. I'm urging the late Lord to return it.

Liu Bei's situation in Jingzhou is very difficult. Sun Shangxiang can be said to be one of Liu Bei's three major headaches, from which the idiom "changing elbows and armpits" comes. The reflection, Shu Zhi, Pang Tong True Story records:

My master is in public security, afraid of Tsao Gong's strength in the north and Sun Quan's coercion in the east, and afraid that Mrs. Sun will be born under her elbow soon, and when there is danger, she will retreat.

In addition, according to records, Sun Shangxiang and his attendants in Dongwu were not law-abiding, which made Liu Bei a headache, so he built an ideal city for Sun Shangxiang to live in, and Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei basically separated. Wang Xiangzhi's "The Sound of Geography and Ji Sheng" records:

Liling Old Town, also known as Lady Sun City, is located in the county. According to legend, it was built by Liu Bei's wife, Mrs. Sun. My wife's sister has doubts about equipment. Don't let this city live without equipment.

Because Sun Liu's marriage is a political marriage, and the age gap between them is huge, there is no affection between them at all. Sun Shangxiang doesn't necessarily value Liu Bei, who is nearly half a century old. Liu Bei only regards Sun Shangxiang as an "ancestor". As for the "achievements" of the Sun-Liu Alliance, neither of them may be on the agenda.

Because the relationship between Sun and Liu is not very harmonious, they are not loving couples, which may also be the root cause of childlessness. As for the real reason why Sun Shangxiang never left a son and a half girls, perhaps only history knows.
