In the first 202 years, Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor and made Lv Zhi queen, which played a role in cutting off governors with different surnames. She is Liu Bangding's right-hand man in the world.
After Liu Bang's death, Huidi and Lv Hou came to power ambitiously. After Hui Di's death, she successively elected Gong Liu and Riccas as emperors, and gained real power by herself, thus sealing the Lushi family.
She died in 180 BC at the age of 62. After his death, the Lushi family was caught by Chen Ping and Zhou Bo. He is a firm, ambitious and successful politician with strategic vision.
Jiefa Liu bang
Lv Hou is what people call Liu Bang after he proclaimed himself emperor. Her original name is Lv Zhi.
Lv Hou's hometown is Fu Shan County (now Shandong County). Her father's name is unknown today because it is not recorded in the history books. History books just call him Lv Gong. Lv Gong has four children: the eldest son Lv Ze, the second son Lu, the eldest daughter and the second daughter. When Lv Gong fled from the enemy, he lived in the home of his good friend Pei County. Later, because Lv Gong had a good impression on Pei County, he settled down in Pei County.
When Lu Gong first arrived in Pei County, the county officials and gentry heard that the county magistrate's house was coming, and they all came to chip in for a drink. The person in charge of receiving gifts is Xiao He, one of Liu Bang's "three outstanding men". At this time, Xiao He was an official of Peixian county magistrate. Xiao He, the director of this banquet, received a gift. According to the regulations, people who donate less than 1000 yuan can only drink under the hall; Only those who chip in more than 1000 can drink in class. After Liu Banglai came, he shouted "Liu Ji, director of Sishui Pavilion" and "Congratulations to Qian Qian" (historical records, biographies of Emperor Gaozu) and went directly to class. In fact, Liu Bang didn't take any money. Lv Gong was surprised at the words of "Liu Ji, director of Surabaya Pavilion" and "Congratulations", and quickly got up to meet him. Because "He Wan" was a very remarkable number at that time. Judging from the regulations of the banquet, all those who pay 1000 yuan are distinguished guests, so please have a drink in class. Of course, it's a big surprise to get 10 thousand yuan. From the perspective of human identity, there are many people taller than the pavilion, but none of them are "congratulations". Of course, it's a big surprise to get 10 thousand yuan. Judging from the actual income, the annual salary of a county magistrate in the Qin Dynasty is only a few thousand dollars. As for the director of the museum, the annual salary is less than a few thousand dollars. It is absolutely astronomical and impossible for a curator to dare to "congratulate thousands" at a banquet. Lv Gong certainly knew that Liu Bang could not "congratulate him", but Lv Gong was a man with political mind. He is interested in Liu Bang's courage and potential statesmanship. So, when Lv Gong heard such an astronomical figure, he immediately became interested in Liu Bang.
Another feature of Lv Gong is that he is superstitious about looking at faces. So he was also surprised at Liu Bang's face. When all the guests left, Lv Gong said to Liu Bang: I have seen many faces in my life, but I have never seen your face. I have a daughter who wants to marry you. I hope you don't mind. Liu bang has no wife at this time. As soon as he heard of such a good thing, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed. However, Lv Gong's wife refused to let Lv Gong marry her daughter: You always said that our daughter was a rich man and wanted to marry a rich family. County magistrate Pei is so kind to you that you don't even allow him to propose. Why do you have to marry this Liu Ji? Lv Gong replied: This is what women don't know. -"Historical Records and Biography of Emperor Gaozu"
Lv Gong's family is in charge of Lv Gong alone. Despite his wife's opposition, his wife is not responsible. In this way, Lv Zhi became Liu Bang's wife. What deserves attention is Lv Zhi's attitude. As a party to this marriage, Lv Zhi accepted his father's arrangement for his lifelong events without complaint. It can be seen that Lv Hou, who is not married, is a well-behaved and obedient girl. (According to the data, Lv Zhi is a normal monk, so Lv Zhi should be no more than twenty years old when he marries Liu Bang, and Liu Bang should be forty-one years old at this time. Therefore, the age difference between Liu Bang and Lv Zhi is about twenty-one. A young girl less than twenty years old married a pavilion director who was twenty-one years older than herself, and she didn't complain. It should be said that Lv Zhi is very docile and obedient at this time. )
Liu Bang was born in 256 BC, while Lv Zhi was born in 24 BC1year. The age difference between them should be recorded as 15 years old. The words in brackets above are actually inferred by later generations and are not objective enough.
Marry an evil husband
When Lv Zhi got married, there was another problem that embarrassed her: Liu Bang had an illegitimate child named Liu Fei. Lv Zhi, who is less than twenty years old, married Liu Bang, a middle-aged pavilion director fifteen years older than her. Moreover, although Tingchang is not formally married, she has an unmarried son. (Before Liu Bang made his fortune, Lv Zhi didn't do anything harsh to Liu Fei, which is not easy for a young woman whose husband is only in his twenties. )
Lv Hou was kind and docile before he came to power. According to the Records of the Emperor Gaozu, Lv Zhi had to work in Tanaka after giving birth to a son and a daughter. After marriage, Lv Zhi had to farm in person, which shows the hard work of Lv Zhi in housework.
Go to prison
After Liu Bang became the curator of Surabaya Pavilion, he was responsible for escorting laborers to Mount Li. He was once escorted to Lishan to do hard labor, and people kept fleeing along the way. In desperation, he simply released the remaining people in osawa, west of Fengxian County, and said, "If you go, I will die." (Biography of Emperor Gaozu in Historical Records) Liu Bang's words touched a dozen people who didn't want to escape and were willing to follow Liu Bang. Liu Bang took the gang to Mangdang Mountain (now Yongcheng, Henan Province) and became an outlaw.
As a curator, Liu Bang escorted laborers in Lishan and even let them go and fled by himself. This, of course, is unbearable for Qin Law. As the saying goes, monks can't run away from the temple. Liu Bang can get away with it, but Lv Zhi went to prison for it.
Life in prison has always been difficult, and Lv Zhi was not much better in Peixian prison in the Qin Dynasty. One of the big problems in prison is that the jailer is rude to Lv Zhi. What crime Lv Zhi committed for Liu Bang in prison is not recorded in the history books. However, there is a jailer named Ren Ao in Peixian prison, who is closely related to Liu Bang, the curator of Surabaya Museum. When Ren Ao saw the jailer mistreating Lv Zhi, he was very angry and wounded the jailer who mistreated Lv Zhi. Suddenly, no one in Peixian prison dared to bully Lv Zhi. (Ren Ao wounded the jailer who abused Lv Zhi, indicating that Lv Zhi was abused in Peixian prison. After Lv Hou came to power, he appointed Ren Ao as the suggestion. It is suggested that the doctor is a deputy prime minister and a deputy national cadre. )
Wander from one place to another and endure many difficulties and hardships.
In April of the second year of the Han Dynasty, after Liu Bang decided on the Three Qin Dynasties, he led 560,000 troops to Pengcheng, the capital of Chu. At this time, Xiang Yu was busy with counterinsurgency, and Liu Bang entered Pengcheng, the capital of Xi Chu. Liu bang's trip has two purposes: first, to eliminate Xiang Yu Group; The second is to pick up his father, wife, son and daughter. However, after Liu Bang arrived in Pengcheng, he was not in a hurry to pick up his relatives. But was busy receiving the beauty and treasure that Xiang Yu brought from Pengcheng, Qin Dou. Fan Zeng, the main counselor of Xiang Yu, once gave Liu a conclusion: "When Pei Gong lived in Shandong, she was greedy for money and good at Maggie." ("Historical Records of Xiang Yu") Being greedy for money and lustful, Liu Bang's performance after hitting Pengcheng verified Fan Zeng's evaluation.
When Xiang Yu returned to Pengcheng, Liu Bangcai hurriedly sent someone to pick up his family. However, at this time, Xiang Yu also sent someone to find Liu Bang's family. Liu Bang's family, worried about their lives, went into hiding long before Xiang Yu came. As a result, the people sent by Liu Bang to pick up his family did not find Liu Bang's father and wife, nor did the people sent by Xiang Yu to find Liu Bang's family. Not only that, Liu Bang's father and wife, and Liu Bang's son and daughter were also separated in the hurry.
Hostage life is hard.
Liu bang's father and wife went to find Liu bang from the path, only to meet Xiang Yu's army, become Xiang Yu's prisoners and be forced to become hostages.
Liu Bang's son and daughter were lucky enough to meet Liu Bang in the flight. Liu bang is heartless. He kicked his son and daughter out of the car again and again. Finally, a minister helped Lv Hou children escape many times.
Lv Zhi and Liu Bang's father Taigong were held hostage in Xiang Yu's military camp for 28 months. In addition, during more than two years of being held hostage, Lv Zhi suffered a disaster.
In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought against Xingyang, Xiang Yu, who was helpless, suddenly had a whim: he threatened to cook Taigong. Xiang Yu's purpose is to take this opportunity to coerce Liu Bang and force him to surrender. Liu bang didn't buy it, and even said to Xiang Yu with a cheeky smile: Xiang Yu and I were both ordered to cut Qin and become brothers; So, my dad is your dad. If you want to cook your dad, I will accompany you to drink soup (if I were an old man, I would cook, but I am lucky to get a piece-Historical Records of Xiang Yu). Xiang Yu was furious and wanted to cook Taigong. Thanks to Xiang Bo's mediation, Xiang Yu didn't kill the squire.
Although it is recorded in the history books as killing the squire, if it is really familiar, can Lv Hou hide it? There is absolutely no way to hide in the past! Once Xiang Yu felt desperate-the hostages couldn't scare Liu Bang, how could he raise Liu Bang's wife for nothing? Because of Xiang Bo's rescue, Xiang Yu calmed his anger, saying that killing the squire had no effect and could only deepen the hatred between the two families. Squier dodged a bullet, and so did Lv Hou.
Although Liu Bang fell in love with Mrs. Qi when he was in Hanwang, he had to find a way to solve his father's hostage problem, which Liu Bang could not solve. Therefore, after more than two years of confrontation between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in Xingyang, Xiang Yu had to agree to the gap proposed by Liu Yu in October of five years because of the shortage of rations. Liu Bang tricked Xiang Yu into releasing Gong Liu and Lv Zhi who had been kidnapped for two years and four months, and then retreated.
After Liu Bang got his father and daughter who had been imprisoned for more than two years, he immediately tore up the agreement and pursued Xiang Yu. However, no matter how Liu cheated Xiang Yu, this gap eventually brought Lv Zhi back to Han Ying.
Lv Zhi's contribution to the Chu-Han War was that he held Liu Bang hostage for two years and four months. This was a great sacrifice made by Lv Zhi for Liu Bang, and it was also the political capital for Lv Hou to take charge of state affairs after Liu Bang's death. After the pain, Lv Zhi, who returned to her husband, found that Liu Bang had a favored wife, Qi State. "Lv Hou is old and often stays. I hope to see him and benefit him. " (Biography of Historical Records of Lv Hou) At this time, because he was older than Mrs. Qi, he was often left behind, accompanied by a beautiful young lady.
Because Lv Hou had been separated from Liu Bang for a long time before, and Lv Hou was separated from Liu Bang after being put back as a hostage, it was difficult for Lv Hou to see Liu Bang at this time. The relationship between the two is therefore more alienated. Lv Zhi must learn to face his rival in love. How old is Lv Zhi at this time? We can make a rough estimate. Lv Zhi married Liu Bang when she was less than twenty years old, and gave birth to Liu Ying, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, a year later. In the fourth year, Liu Bang rose up against Qin and ran away from home. It took three years to destroy Qin, four years for Chu and Han to contend, and the estrangement was settled, before Lv Hou reunited with Liu Bang, and it was ten years since his first marriage. Therefore, Lv Hou should be less than thirty years old at this time. In this decade, Lv Zhi and Liu Bang lived together for less than three years, and Liu Bang became an outlaw in Mangdang Mountain, followed by three years of anti-Qin and four years of genocide. When he returned to Liu Bang, Liu Bang not only had a new favorite, but also had another beloved son-Liu Ruyi (born by Liu Bang and Mrs Qi). Lv Hou, who is less than 30 years old, can only be a "left-behind wife" silently at this time.
A generation of powerful women in history were not satisfied with their personal love life. When people look up to the "queen" generation, who knows how happy this "queen" is? Liu bang likes Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Qi loves her. After Liu Bang's anti-Qin campaign, Lv Hou never saw Liu Bang again. It was seven years before she returned to her husband. However, she has "always stayed behind, hoping to see her and benefit from it."
Power storm
"Filial piety, high-impedance thought don't like me, often want to waste the prince, qi ji zi ruyi, class I ruyi. Qi Jixing, who often came from Kanto, cried day and night, trying to establish his son as a prince. Lv Hou is older and often stays, hoping to see him and benefit him. Ruyi was made queen Zhao, and several generations of governors counted. (Biography of Historical Records and Lv Hou) "
Liu Bang fell in love with Ruyi Zhao, the son of imperial concubine Miracle. He wanted to abolish Lv Hou's son Liu Ying and establish Ruyi Zhao.
Traditionally, China is the eldest son inheritance system, which is the most basic principle of the patriarchal clan system, that is, the throne and property must be inherited by the first eldest son, who is the eldest son born to the first wife. Liu Bang's abolition of the Prince triggered two strong reactions:
The first person who reacted strongly was the North Korean minister. Zhou Chang, Shu and other North Korean ministers are firmly opposed to abandoning the long-term development.
Among them, Uncle Sun Tong's words when he dissuaded Liu Bang from abolishing the Prince in the 12th year of Han Dynasty are the most representative: The Prince is the world. The world is vibrating. Why play with the world! (Historical Records Biography of Liu) Courtiers represented by Shu attached importance to governing the country by system. They think that once the system is destroyed, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is precisely because of this that ministers such as Sean and Zhou Chang objected.
Historical Records Biography of Prime Minister Zhang and Biography of Zhou Chang recorded the story of "kneeling and thanking". When Zhou Chang was the director of Surabaya Pavilion, he was an old subordinate of Liu Bang, who fought side by side with Liu Bang. His brother Zhou Ke was also a martyr, who was killed by Xiang Yu to defend Xingyang. Zhou Chang resolutely opposed Liu Bang's abandonment of all ages. When Liu asked Zhou Chang about the waste prince, Zhou Chang stammered and prevaricated. However, he was very angry when he heard that Liu Bang was going to abolish all ages. He said: I won't say anything in my mouth, but I don't think I can do it. Even if your majesty wants to abolish the prince, I will never accept this letter. Because of Zhou Chang's stuttering and anger, there are two words: "You can't know the date" and "You can't write a letter on the date". The "period" here is the real state of stuttering (when asked, people often get angry and say, "I can't speak, I don't know during the period." Although your majesty wants to abolish the prince, he will not serve the official period. "Smile happily on the table).
Another person who reacted strongly was Lv Hou, the biggest victim of this incident. Want to abolish the prince, Mrs Qi's son Ruyi Zhao. Ministers often protest and argue, but so do those who are not firm. Lv Hou was terrified and didn't know what to do. ("Historical Records Stay in Hou Shijia")
There is a plan for Lv Hou to find Sean. Lv Hou asked his younger brother Lv Ze to hijack Sean, forcing Sean to contribute. Sean said to Lv Ze: The emperor can really listen to my advice when the war is difficult. However, it is precisely because of love that we should abandon the long and raise the short. This is not something that can be settled by words. But the emperor attached great importance to "being kind and being expensive" (four big noble who lived in seclusion and were kind; Hao and Bai never please, because they think the emperor has always been arrogant to his lieutenants. If we can find a way to ask the "Shangshan Sihao" to assist the prince and let them accompany him every day, especially when he goes to court, the emperor will certainly see it. The emperor knows that "being good and being noble" may be useful for assisting the prince. Lv Hou immediately put it into practice. Lv Hou sent Lv Ze to bring a personal letter from the Prince and a generous gift, and invited "Shangshan Sihao" to come out of the mountain, but all four of them came (so Lv Hou asked Lv Ze to send a personal letter from the Prince and gave him a small gift to meet the four people. Four people write "Shi Hou")
In the 12th year of Han Dynasty, Liu Bang put down the rebellion in Qing Bu, but Liu Bang was fatally wounded by an arrow for the second time in this rebellion. And the disease caused by arrow injury is more serious. At this time, Liu bang had a premonition that human life had an end; Therefore, Liu Bang's desire to abolish the Crown Prince is even stronger. Sean's dissuasion was ineffective, and he refused to appear in court. Uncle Sun Tong, a teacher of a prince, protested his death, and Liu Bang pretended to listen. In fact, the idea of abolishing the prince has not changed (I promised in detail, but I still have to change it-"Historical Records: Leaving the Hou Family").
At a banquet, great-grandfather Liu Bang found the prince surrounded by four elderly people in their eighties, all with white beards and hats. Gaozu was very strange, so he asked them, who are you? Four old people stood up and answered and reported their names: Dong, Mr. Li and Qi He. Liu bang was shocked: I invited you for many years, but you avoided me. Why are you following my son now? Si Lao replied: Your Majesty despises reading and loves to call names. We were determined not to be humiliated, so we ran away because of fear. Now, I heard that the prince is filial and loves all the scholars in the world, and all the people in the world are willing to work hard for the prince, so we came. Liu Bang said: Please take good care of the Prince for me. Four old people drank wine and left. Liu Bang looked at the four old people who left, pointed them at his wife and said, "I want to replace the prince, but all four of them are here to assist the prince. The prince's wings are full and hard to shake! " Lv Hou is such a good host! Hearing this, Mrs Qi burst into tears. Liu bang said, give me a Chu dance and I'll sing a Chu song. The lyrics say: A swan flies high and thousands of miles. Wings have taken shape, spanning the four seas. Across the world, what else can you do? Even with bows and arrows, what's the use of a swan flying high? Feathers are gone, absolutely everywhere. Across the world, there is nothing we can do. Although there is a gift, Shang An has already given it-"Historical Records, Stay with Hou Family").
From then on, Liu Bang never mentioned the abolition of the Prince.
Advantages and achievements
In the spring of the 11th year of Emperor Gaozu, Han Xin rebelled in Huaiyin, and Xiao He murdered Han Xin. In March of the same year, Peng Yue, the king of Liang, rebelled, and Liu Bang dismissed him as Shu Ren, cut his post and exiled Shu. On the way, Peng pleaded not guilty and promised to intercede for him and take him back to Xianyang. She complained about Liu Bang: "If you let Peng Yue go, it is equivalent to putting the tiger up the mountain." Liu Bangsui put him to death and destroyed his three families. During the eight years when Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, Lv Hou helped Liu Bang to quell the rebellion and crack down on separatist forces, which played an important role in consolidating the unified regime of the Han Dynasty and made full preparations for her coming to power.
During Lv Hou's reign, the politics of Huang Lao, which originated from Liu Bang's recuperation, was further promoted. When Liu Bang was dying, Lv Hou asked about the arrangement behind Liu Bang. She asked Xiao He who would succeed him as prime minister, Liu Bang asked Cao Can to succeed him, and Cao Can had a mausoleum and Chen Ping, but he couldn't be alone. Frequency is honest and honest, and his culture is not high. If there is any crisis in the Liu family, it is with Qiu.
Although Lv Hou actually came to power, she abided by the wills arranged by important people before Liu Bang's death, and successively reused founding heroes such as Xiao He, Cao Can, Tomb, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo. And these ministers govern by doing nothing, conform to public opinion and never serve the people. Economically, light taxes are implemented. Implement a liberal policy towards industry and commerce.
During the reign of Lv Hou, all fields including politics, legal system, economy, ideology and culture laid a solid foundation for "the rule of culture and scenery".
In the twelfth year of Emperor Gaozu (BC 195), Liu Bang died. 17-year-old Liu Ying is the Empress Dowager and Lv Zhi is the Empress Dowager. Liu Ying is young and weak, and the power is in Lv Hou's hands.
In order to cut off the dissidents and be poisoned, Mrs. Qi's hands and feet were cut off, her eyes were gouged out, her ears were burned, and she was drugged, which made her speechless. She was locked in the toilet and let her cry, and she was called "The Man on Earth". Liu Ying was dissatisfied with her mother's cruelty and abandoned the principle of state affairs.
188 years ago, Liu Ying died of depression, and the former emperor and Lv Hou became the first person under the dictatorship of Queen China. Shaodi accused his biological mother of being killed by Lv Hou.
184 years ago, Lv Hou killed the young emperor Gong Liu and made Likas the young emperor. Lv Hou is still alive, so Rickas is not called the first year.
Lv Hou has the demeanor of a politician. Xiongnu took the opportunity of Liu Bang's death and wrote a book to humiliate Lv Hou, saying, "You lost your husband and I lost my wife. The two hosts are unhappy, so there is nothing to worry about. They are willing to take everything and have nothing to lose. " Lv Hou adopted Lu Bu's idea, suppressed his anger and calmly replied: "I am old, abandoned, my teeth have deteriorated, and it is inconvenient to walk." Then he gave the horses and chariots, declined politely, and finally turned the war into friendship. Feeling ashamed and disrespectful, the Huns sent messengers to apologize to the Han Dynasty.
In order to strengthen his rule, Lv Hou took the policy of "ruling by doing nothing" and consolidated the regime of the Western Han Dynasty. At the same time, he first attacked governors and political enemies, and reused his minions and them. Then arrange henchmen to make Zhu Lu and the son of his beloved harem beauty a prince. Then he killed Wang Zhao Liu You and Liang Wang Liu Hui. The right prime minister, Wang Ling, resolutely opposed the policy of making Lu king and insisted on the Covenant between Gaozu and his ministers. "If Liu Wei is not king, the world will attack it." Lv Hou was very unhappy, so he named him the emperor's teacher and deprived him of his power as prime minister. The grave had to go home sick. Then let Shen Shi be left as prime minister, and put it to use. Although Chen Ping and Zhou Bo refused to obey, they had to obey. Grain inspection does not deal with the affairs within the scope of the functions and powers of Prime Minister Zuo, but specifically supervises and manages the palace affairs, just like the doctor's advice. Lv Hou often makes decisions with him, and ministers can only make decisions by examining grain. His behavior was strongly opposed by Liu Zongshi and his ministers.
Lv Hou posthumously presented his two deceased brothers, the eldest brother Zhou Luhou, Lv Ze Wei and Lu Wei, which was the beginning of making King Zhu Lu. In the first year of Lv Hou (before 187), my nephew Lu Tai was made King Lu and Lu Chan was made King Liang. Lv Lu was made a nephew of Wang Zhao, and his father Lu Wen was made king of Xuan Lu. Zhang Qian, the son of Princess Luyuan, was named King Lu, and her daughter married Liu Zhang, and was named Zhu, the son of Lu Pei Hou, and the nephew Lu Pingzhu. In the second year, Lv Hou, Zheng Lu and Lv Tai died one after another, and Wang Su posthumous title Lv Jiawei. In the fourth year of Jian 'an, his sister was named as a temporary light Hou, his nephew Lu Zhishen as a redundant Hou, and Lu Zhishen as a Lu Chenghou. More than a dozen people in the Lushi family have been made kings.
Eight years after graduating from high school (BC 180), Lv Hou was seriously ill. Before she died, she did not forget to consolidate Lu's world. When she was critically ill, she ordered the appointment of her nephew, Lv Lu, the prince of Zhao, as a general to lead the northern army; King Lu was in charge of the Southern Army. And warned them: "After Gao Ping settled the world, he made a pact with his ministers:' If Liu is not king, the world will punish him." Now that Lu is king, Liu Qunchen is furious. I'm dying, the emperor is young, and his ministers may defect. So you must firmly control the army and guard the palace. Never leave the palace to attend my funeral, and make yourself at home.
1 August, 801day, Lv Hou died at the age of 62 and was buried in Changling with Emperor Gaozu. Lu is located in Sanyi Village, Yaodian Township, Weicheng District, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, 200 meters southeast of Gaozu Changling. The mausoleum is 32 meters high, and the base is 160 meters long from east to west and 1 3 1 meter long from north to south, showing an overlapping bucket shape. Because the mausoleum was built on the edge of the plateau on the north bank of Wei River, it looks like a hill from a distance, which is extremely magnificent.
After the collapse of Lv Hou, he left letters to give the gold to the governors, and to give the gold to the governors, ministers, liehou, lang and collectors according to their grades. Amnesty world. Let Lu Wang and Lu Chan be prime ministers. Let Lv Lu's daughter be queen. Because of the political support of a consort group of the Lu family, the contradictions within the ruling class of the Han dynasty were intensified, and immediately after her death, a bloody struggle between the Liu royal family group and the consort group of the Lu family was triggered. Lv Hou died before she finished her political plan. Contradictions within the Han ruling class suddenly intensified, exposing the rise of Liu Zhijun. Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, was hard to find, but Chen Ping and Zhou Bo responded. Liu's kings got up and killed Zhu Lu. A bloody battle between the Liu royal family group and the Lu consorts group ended in the victory of the royal family group.
Lv Hou has been in power for fifteen years, and has pursued the policy of formulating laws and regulations, practicing economy and benefiting people's livelihood. She did several important things: asked all counties to recommend outstanding farmers, encouraged them, reduced or exempted taxes, and changed the Qin tax to why five taxes should be charged; Allow farmers who have fled mountains, rivers and lakes and moved to other places to return to their hometowns and return their farmland houses. Officials shall not abuse or discriminate against them because of their past illegal acts; Release the handmaiden and return to the countryside to farm, and officials shall not interfere; Reduce a large number of officers and men, transfer jobs to their hometowns, give priority to land and properly resettle; Amnesty the world; When the Qin dynasty was abolished, the crime of alienating three clans because of implicating others, as well as harsh laws such as "bad words and bad orders"; Adopt pro-Xiongnu policy to stabilize the border. The implementation of these policies eased the internal and external contradictions, stimulated the development of production and enhanced the national strength of the Han Dynasty.
Historical Records commented: "When filial piety Hui Di was in high school, CoCo Lee had to leave the suffering of the war. Both the monarch and the minister want to rest and do nothing. Therefore, Hui Di hung an arch and the high queen was called a mistress. If you can't leave home, the world will be quiet. Punishment is rare, sinners are rare, and the people have plenty of food and clothing. "
Lv Hou was in power for fifteen years. It is said that there was a five-star arrangement (a celestial phenomenon, that is, the five elements of fire, water and earth in Jin Mu were arranged in a straight line, which the ancients thought was in line with the destiny), but it was not recorded in the history books. In a word, Lv Hou is an outstanding female ruler in the history of China.
Historical function
Historical Records records: "Lv Hou was resolute and helped Gaozu rule the world. Attorney General Dulu Hou Li "One of the most famous events is that the mastermind killed Han Xin and Peng Yue, forced against Ying Bu, and finally destroyed them. These three things happened in the year before Liu Bang's death. Han Xin, Peng Yue and Ying Bu are all famous war generals, who won more than half of the countries for Liu Bang. After Liu Bang became emperor, he was made a baron. With a vast territory and a large population, he was the first king of China at that time.
When Liu Bang died, Lv Hou blocked the news and did not send out obituaries for four days. Instead, he appreciated his plot to kill people. Later, the story leaked and was discouraged. But this is enough to shock the ministers and make the peak sexually generals obediently obey Lv Hou's baton and get through the crisis smoothly.
Lv Hou not only planned to kill the minister, but also killed the descendants of Liu Bang. Liu Bang has eight sons, namely Liu Fei, Liu Ying (Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty or Emperor Xiao Hui), Liu Ruyi, Liu Heng (Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty or Emperor Xiao Wen), Liu Hui, Liu You, Liu Chang and Liu Jian, among whom only Liu Ying is Lv Hou's own. After Lv Hou came to power, he first poisoned Liu Ruyi, and then tried to repeat the mistakes of Liu Fei because of trivial matters, but Liu Fei saw through it and Liu Fei's design escaped. Later, Lv Hou designed Liu You to starve to death and forced Liu Hui to commit suicide. Liu Jian died of illness, leaving only one son, who was also killed by Lv Hou. Only Liu Heng and Changlu are not threatened by Lv Hou. In fact, even his own son Liu Ying was indirectly killed by Lv Hou. To sum up, four of Liu Bang's eight sons died directly or indirectly at the hands of Lv Hou, and one died at the hands of Lv Hou. Only Liu Fei, Liu Heng and Chang Lu were not injured.
Lv Hou spared no effort to persecute the descendants of Liu Bang. In addition to women's wayward behavior, one of its purposes is to seize their fiefs and enfeoffment her family, so as to strengthen the power of the mainland family. In fact, I almost won the Liu family. But as a result, in the next coup, Lu's family were all killed by ministers, and even his own son Liu Ying was wiped out.
Lv Hou's idea of killing people is obviously the result of a slightly neurotic intuitive thinking, but it is not groundless. At the beginning of Liu Bang's reign, due to historical reasons, he appointed seven princes with different surnames and a large number of Marquis. Every prince has his own land and population, and his taxes are used to support the prince and can be inherited. Marquis's influence is not big, one or two counties at most, 20,000 to 30,000 households. Wang Jue has at least several counties and their populations, and has his own government and army. At most, Liu Bang's central government sent several officials to be the heads of the royal governments. Wang Jue's power was huge and difficult to restrain, which brought great potential threat to the stability of Han Dynasty. It may be because of this consideration that Liu Bangcai formed an alliance with the generals to kill the white horse, stipulating that "Liu will not seal the king, he will not seal the Hou." This is the famous White Horse Alliance in history.
The White Horse Alliance revealed an important message: Although Liu Bang was the emperor, his relationship with his subordinates was not absolute. Liu Bang is only the covenant leader of the two positions of Wang (the place directly under the central government and its people) and the leader of the League, and his political role is between the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and Qin Shihuang. During the reign of Liu Bang, China's social organizations basically returned to the enfeoffment system in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Liu Bang's regime change did not impact the enfeoffment system since the Yellow Emperor.
Lv Hou's actions made many feudal countries unable to fully develop and expand, which substantially impacted the time and space conditions on which the enfeoffment system existed, seriously weakened the enfeoffment system, and laid the foundation for the actions of Emperor Han Jing to cut off the vassals, the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty to favor them and deprive them of their military and political power. Since the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the enfeoffment system has undergone essential changes, and the vassal only enjoys taxes on his fiefs, but has no administrative power over his fiefs. Without Lv Hou's action, even the talented Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would have been difficult to complete the construction of a centralized empire. Therefore, Lv Hou's influence on the history of China's social development can be summarized in one sentence: she was a grave digger of the feudal system in China!
