Which Chinese emperor borrowed the seed to… give birth to an heir?

According to GMW, Tong Minh De Luu Uc could not bear children, so he had to let the woman he loved to borrow seeds. For today’s science and technology, “borrowing seed” is artificial insemination to avoid physical contact between men and women. However, Liu Yu lived in the Southern and Northern Dynasties more than 1,500 years ago, did not have this technique, but still needed male and female sex to give birth. Therefore, it was not easy for him to accept the loan.

Liu Yu had many concubines, but only former concubine Vuong Thi gave birth to two princesses. This made the king extremely worried. In order to have a successor, Luu Uc decided to let concubine Tran Dieu Dang borrow the seed to give birth to a son.

After careful screening, Liu Yu decided to choose Ly Dao Nhi, who had a pretty good relationship with the king. The king thought that in this way, he would not worry about secretly borrowing his seed to spread it out. Moreover, Ly Dao Nhi, who is Luu Uc’s teacher, will ensure the best qualities for the next life.

Chinese history books have different records of Liu Yu’s borrowing of the same breed to give birth to a son. According to “Tong Thu”, at first Luu Uc liked Tran Dieu Dang very much, but after a while he got bored. Tran Dieu Dang could not meet the king, so he took the initiative to marry Ly Dao Nhi and was approved by Luu Uc. However, after a long time without seeing Tran Dieu Dang, the king remembered to welcome her into the palace. Not long after, she gave birth to a son.

However, many people do not believe in “Song Shu”, thinking it is a myth. According to the later history books of the Song Dynasty, in “Tu Tri Tongjian” by historian and prime minister Sima Quang (1019-1086), Luu Uc calculated in advance, intentionally giving Tran Dieu Dang to Ly Dao Nhi. , then wait for her to get pregnant before taking her back to the palace.

Save Australia after having a prince still feels not enough. However, due to his own problems, but could not borrow the seed of the great god, Liu Yu thought of a very cruel way. The king secretly sent people to investigate whether the concubines of the royal family were pregnant, then brought them to the palace to wait for the day of childbirth. If that person gave birth to a son, the king immediately ordered to kill his mother, leave the child, and give it to his concubine to raise.

Just like that, King Luu Uc had 12 sons, all of whom were not biological children. One of the sons that the king borrowed the seed was named Liu Yu, who was later chosen by the king as his successor. Liu Yu has a brutal personality, loses the hearts of the people, and is eventually killed by others.
