In fact, the son-killing of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also a reflection of the harm of the autocratic power of the former imperial concubines to the rule of the Han Dynasty.
The first real empress dowager in the history of China was Liu Bang's wife Lv Zhi (Qin Shihuang didn't set up an empress dowager). After Liu Bang's death, Liu Ying, the son of Lv Zhi, succeeded to the throne of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, and Lv Zhi was the empress dowager, so he was able to monopolize the power. In order to consolidate Liu Ying's throne, Lv Zhi retaliated and killed his former political opponents. All three sons of Liu Bang were killed by Lv Zhi.
However, when Liu Ying died young, Lv Zhi made Gong Liu, the son of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, the third emperor. However, in quite a few historical materials, Gong Liu's throne has not been recognized, and many historians say that he is not orthodox. But this Gong Liu hated Lv Zhi very much after learning that his mother was killed by Lv Zhi. He once said that when I grow up, I must take revenge. When Lv Zhi found out, he abolished the death penalty.
The history of Lv Hou's dictatorship is particularly chaotic. After Lv Hou's death, people finally had to let Liu Heng, the younger brother of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, reign as Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Chinese is definitely not the throne of Gong Liu, but the throne of Liu Ying. In the pre-Qin period, it was not uncommon for brothers and sisters to get married, and there was nothing abnormal.
This incident had a great influence on later Dou Taihou. In this political struggle, Dou Shi, then a palace maid, was sent by Lv Hou to monitor Liu Heng on behalf of the country. Dou Shi's fief in Liu Heng was favored by Liu Heng, who gave birth to a daughter Liu Pu and two sons Liu Qi and Liu Wu for Liu Heng.
After Liu Heng succeeded to the throne, he became Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and conferred the title of Queen Dou, and the influence of Dou's family began to expand. However, Queen Dou became blind due to illness, and Emperor Wendi of Chinese gradually disliked other wives, which made Queen Dou very dissatisfied.
Until the death of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, Liu Qi succeeded Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. Dou Taihou became Dou Taihou, and Dou Taihou gradually survived from maid-in-waiting to empress dowager, becoming the second powerful empress dowager after the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Dou Shi served Lv Zhi from the beginning. He must have won the biography of Lv Zhi and was deeply influenced by it. Considering the situation that Lv Zhi made Gong Liu, naturally considering that his grandson is unreliable, his own son is more reliable.
Dou especially likes his youngest son, Liang Wang Liu Wu. Based on the traditional family concept in China society, they all love their youngest son, and Dou Taihou is no exception.
Liu Wu is very filial to Dou Taihou, and Dou Taihou is not an eye disease. Every time the Empress Dowager is unwell, Liang Wang will immediately rush to the Empress Dowager to be filial, so Liu Wu is the son who is famous for his filial piety.
Dou Taihou doted on his youngest son, Liu Wu, King of Liang, and gave him countless possessions. Liang Wang also got a very generous gift package, and sometimes the specifications of the trip were higher than that of the emperor.
Emperor Han Jing dared not go against his mother's wishes. This was the case in the Han Dynasty. The queen mother has great power and often has the power to depose the emperor. In addition, Liu Wu was loyal to Liu Qi, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. During the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, Liu Wu led the sealing of the country and made great contributions to quelling the rebellion.
As brothers, Liu Qi and Liu Wu have a good relationship. It is said that at a palace banquet, Emperor Han Jingdi drank too much and even said? Long live the Millennium, will it be passed on to the king? Dou Taihou and Liang Wang were very happy, and Dou Taihou naively thought that Han Jing was serious.
Generally speaking, a brother and his brother finally get together on the premise that he has no son. At that time, Liu Qi already had a son, and later he made his eldest son Liu Rong a prince. This is tantamount to announcing to the Queen Mother that it is impossible for Liang Wang to be emperor. It is estimated that if Liu Qi did not abolish Liu Rong later, there would be nothing behind, but later Liu Qi abolished Liu Rong.
This made Dou Taihou and Liu Wu see hope again. Dou Taihou said to Jingdi. It is said that the Yin and Shang systems were brothers, while the Zhou system respected ancestors. The reason is the same. One hundred years later, I entrusted Liang Xiaowang to you. ?
I almost made it clear that after my death, you should let Emperor Liu Wudang and Liang Wang!
Actually, it is not impossible for Liu Wu to be emperor after Liu Qi's death, but when Dou Taihou put forward this proposal, he was resolutely opposed by Minister Yuan Ang. Liu Wu held a grudge and sent someone to assassinate Yuan Ang. When Jingdi learned about this incident, he found that it was more serious than he had imagined, so he began to be wary of Liang Wang, who was coveted by the emperor. Later, Liu Qi refused to let Liang Wang stay in Beijing (the prince enfeoffed by the Han Dynasty should stay in the fief).
Liu Wu died of illness shortly after returning to the fief, and Dou Taihou had no spells. If Liu Wu hadn't died, there must have been something when Emperor Liu Qi of Han Jing died.
Although Dou Taihou is an outstanding politician, he can't get rid of his own attributes? Rural old lady? Of course, this is also a common problem of the ruling class in the Han Dynasty. It's terrible to have no culture
This depends on the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He Taihou, the mother of the blade, can also know a little. He was born in a family that killed pigs. After he entered the palace, he was favored by Emperor Han Ling. Later, he was made queen. After the death of Emperor Han Ling, he was named the Queen Mother, and Blade seized power for his consorts. As a result, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. The political crisis at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was closely related to brothers and sisters who killed pigs.
In fact, it is not uncommon for the empress dowager to ask the emperor to pass on the throne to another son. When Du Taihou, the founding queen of the Song Dynasty, died, she asked her son Zhao Kuangyin to make a testamentary edict, and Zhao Kuangyin passed the throne to her younger brother Zhao Guangyi, and wrote a suicide note. Golden Chamber Alliance? .
Dou Taihou is probably holding this idea!
