Lv Hou died suddenly. Lv Hou was the empress of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Emperor Gaozu. During Liu Bang's pioneering work, she was his wife and gave Liu Bang infinite warmth and help. After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he helped Liu Bang get rid of Han Xin and other kings with different surnames and consolidated the rule of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Bang's death, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty was weak, and the powerful Lv Hou mastered the power of the Han Dynasty and became the first queen (real power) in China history.
In the next 15 years in power, Lv Hou ruled out dissidents, supported Lao Lu's family forces, and lived a happy life. However, on August 180, Lv Hou, who had always been in good health, died suddenly. At that time, there were different opinions about the cause of Lv Hou's death.
There are different opinions about the cause of Lv Hou's death. At that time, it was widely rumored that abnormal death was cursed by Mrs Qi and Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao. The cause of the incident is that Liu Bang is a bad old man. In his later years, he preferred Mrs. Qi and wanted to replace Mrs. Qi's son, Liu Ruyi, with a prince, but Lv Hou resolved the crisis. Lv Hou has always held a grudge against this. After she came to power, she not only poisoned Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, but also became the wife of Qi? People? Life is worse than death. The tragic deaths of Mrs Qi and Liu Ruyi's mother and son led to the rumor that they were cursed by ghosts and died. Now, in our view, the theory of ghosts and gods is not credible.
The second way is to die of illness. This statement has always been official and mainstream, but the cause of Lu's death has always been a mystery, and historians in history dare not describe it positively. It was not until the rapid development of world medicine that people found that animals were infected with human rabies in medical research that Lv Hou was infected with rabies and died.
Conclusion According to historical records, in March of BC 180, Lv Hou was suddenly attacked by a black man? Dogs? Take a bite. Lv Hou didn't take it to heart, because he was slightly injured. Shortly after Lv Hou returned to the palace, he was afraid of water and wind, which was a symptom of rabies. At that time, even if Lv Hou discovered rabies in time, there was no response. It can only be said that Empress Lu was unlucky, bitten by a puppy and caught.
Combining historical records and current medical research, we can be sure that Lv Hou eventually died of rabies. At that time, Lv Hou was recruited in March and died suddenly in August. A strong man died suddenly, and rabies was not found in ancient times. I didn't know that Lv Hou died of this disease. So there are rumors about the curse, and historians don't know the real cause of Lv Hou's death, so they dare not describe it positively, just saying that he died of illness.
A generation of queen Lv Hou finally died of rabies, which is really embarrassing, because the ancients didn't know about rabies, and even historians dared not describe it positively.
