As the saying goes, the most ruthless imperial family. When a family has supreme power, the affection and bonds between family members will be diluted by the yearning for power.
Almost all rights holders' family members will inevitably appear "palace fight" . flesh-and-blood relatives kill each other , and in the end only one person sits on the throne and enjoys the lonely imperial power.
Western Han His founding emperor Liu Bang 's family was the same. Emperor Liu Bang, who overthrew Qin Dynasty 's tyranny and defeated Western Chu King , had eight descendants in his life, but most of them were killed by his wife, Lu Zhi, .
How Lu Zhi becomes Lu Hou
Behind every successful man, there will be a woman, and Lu Zhi is the woman who helped Liu Bang take the first step in success.
Although before the two were together, Liu Bang had already had eldest son Liu Fei , Lu Zhi still took the initiative to get close to Liu Bang and used the strength of his family to help Liu Bang make a fortune. Even Liu Bang was able to make friends, thanks to Lu Zhi's support.
You can imagine how happy Lu Zhi was at that time and she also had a deep friendship with Liu Bang. But when Liu Bang was not the kind of person who only loved Yu Ji .
After gaining power, Liu Bang did not take into account his relationship with Lu Zhi for many years and lingered in beauty. He even threatened him when Xiang Yu held Lu Zhi hostage and threatened him. I have an attitude of not caring about life and death in Lu Zhi. I guess Lu Zhi's heart had already fallen into the ice cave at that time.
After the relationship between the two was rifted, it would not have been possible for Lu Zhi to become the cruel and fierce Empress Lu in history.
In addition to this, there is another very important factor. Because Liu Bang has many concubines, but she is out of favor. In this state of serious lack of security, her only life-saving straw is her own son Liu Ying and power .
In order to allow Liu Ying to maintain the position of prince, she planned to kill Han Xin and gain power. She was afraid that something would happen to Liu Ying on the battlefield and persuaded Liu Bang to go out to fight against the rebellion of King Jingbu, Huainan.
Result Liu Bang was hit by a hawk in this war and died of his wound three months later. At this point, Lu Zhi finally stood at the highest point of power in the Western Han Dynasty. Who can connect her now with the woman who ran after Liu Bang?
The remaining five sons of Liu Bang were tragically killed by Empress Lu
After Empress Lu seized power, the first person to be retaliated against was that Liu Bang's favorite concubine Qi Ji , and her son Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi .
Whenever I talk about Ji Qi, people always think of two words "Manhun" ! This is also an important historical event that reflects Empress Lü's cruelty.
If Ji Qi is like this, then Liu Ruyi will naturally not have a good ending. Although Liu Ying tried his best to protect his half-brother Liu Ruyi, Liu Ruyi was eventually poisoned by Empress Lu, and Ji Qi died a few days after being made into a human pig.
The remaining eldest son King of Qi Liu Fei was almost poisoned to death. In order to save his life, Empress Lü ceded the fief and compromised. After escaping back to the fief, she died of serious illness.
5 sons Zhao Gongwang Liu Hu 's beloved concubine was poisoned to death by Empress Lu, and he himself committed suicide by taking poison.
The wife of the sixth son, King Zhao You, , is from the Lu family. Empress Lu imprisoned his wife for reasons that he was not good at treating her, starving to death.
The eight-son Yanling King Liu Jian, was bitten by a fox and infected with rabies , died young and failed to wait for Empress Lu's persecution. But after his death, the child who was still in his infancy was also secretly sent by Empress Lu to deal with it.
Seven Sons Huainan King Li Liu Chang , escaped the clutches of Empress Lü. The reason is very simple. Liu Chang was the illegitimate son of Liu Bang and the palace maid, but because the palace maid committed suicide by wrongfully committing suicide, he gave it to Empress Lu to raise him personally.
For this Liu Chang who grew up, even Empress Lu could not have any feelings for him. Moreover, Liu Chang was still young and could not pose a threat to Empress Lu's power, so he naturally survived.
Why don’t you kill Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng
Liu Heng The reason why he can save his life is not because Empress Lu is kind, but because his mother Bo Ji ’s keen sense of political smell.
When Empress Lü became powerful, she began to keep a low profile and took Liu Heng away from the Western Han Dynasty Palace, pretending to be indifferent to the world. Liu Heng also imitated his mother and tried his best to show that he was not threatening Empress Lu.
and Liu Heng's fiefdom is located on the border of the country and is far away from the center of rights, so he can survive.
Bo Ji Stills
Just like that, Liu Heng survived until Empress Lu died. Ministers loyal to Liu Bang cleaned up Empress Lu’s power and killed Liu Ying’s lineage.
At this time, Liu Bang's descendants were only Liu Heng and King Li of Huainan Liu Chang . However, because Liu Chang was arrogant and domineering and unable to do his abilities, Liu Heng became the one who laughed the last time and was promoted to The fifth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty — Emperor Wen of Han .
