The first empress in history

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-19

Lü Pheasant (241 BC, August 18, 180 BC), the character 娥姁 (xū), commonly known as Lü Hou, or Han Gao Hou, Empress Dowager Lü, etc. A native of Dangjun Shan Father County (now Shan County, Heze City, Shandong), later generations called her and Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty "Lu Wu".

The most important thing in folk evaluation is human nature, and Lu Hou does things, his biggest mistake is the lack of human nature, we can analyze and analyze her three things:

Killing heroes, killing heroes, she just deviated from a folk evaluation, and there is an important principle in the folk evaluation, called knowing kindness and repaying kindness. Han Xin is the Engong of Empress Lu, and Han Xin is also the Engong of the Han Dynasty, without Han Xin, there would be no Han Dynasty. Let's think about it, when Han Xin was in Qi to lead an army of 300,000, he helped Liu Bang, Xiang Yu was destroyed, he helped Xiang Yu, Liu Bang was destroyed, he didn't help anyone, and he divided the world into three parts. He was the biggest hero of the Han Dynasty, killed Han Xin, and there are still rumors among the people that one kills Han Xin, and one has to be three no, the sky is not visible, the earth is not visible, and the iron weapon is not seen when killing.

It is said that Empress Lu got Han Xin into a cloth bag, picked him up, hung him up and saw the world and the ground, and then stabbed him to death little by little with a bamboo skewer. This statement does not have any historical records, it is pure folk literature, but the creation of folk literature has a beginning, this folk literature is ** in the understanding of the cruelty of Lu Hou, made up, if Lu Hou is a very virtuous person, make up this, no one believes it, but this three do not see it is widely circulated, many people even think that this is the official historical record, in fact, it is nothing. It shows that the folk image of Empress Lu is very bad.

*Liu Bang's children, Lu Hou also carried out ** to Liu Bang's children. Empress Lu was the empress of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Madame Qi was one of Liu Bang's concubines. It is said that Empress Lü was very jealous of Mrs. Qi, because Madame Qi was deeply favored by Liu Bang, and Mrs. Qi's son Liu Ruyi also threatened the status of Empress Lü's son's crown prince. Therefore, Empress Lu decided to take revenge on Mrs. Qi. Empress Lu's revenge was very cruel, she first imprisoned Mrs. Qi in the cold palace, then sent someone to poison Liu Ruyi, and then tortured Mrs. Qi in various ways, including cutting off her hands and feet, blinding her eyes, deafing her ears, pouring dumb medicine, etc. In the end, Empress Lu threw Mrs. Qi into the toilet and left her to fend for herself.

Then Liu Bang's other son, Liu Chang, was placed under house arrest until death. How cruel this is, annihilating humanity and showing the cruelty of the court struggle.

Liu Bang's fifth son, Liu Hui, was forced to marry the daughter of Lu Xuan, the nephew of Empress Lu, and he had another love in his heart, and his situation was as bitter as Liu You. In addition, Liu Bang's fourth son, Liu Heng, who later became Emperor Wen of Han, had the best achievements and endings among Liu Bang's eight sons. In addition, Liu Bang's seventh son, Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, was raised by Empress Lü herself, and Empress Lü was treated favorably when she was regent, so she developed a bad Xi of arrogance and arrogance, and Emperor Wen plotted rebellion, ** entered Beijing, and committed suicide by hunger strike on the way.

Monopolizing power, after the death of Liu Bang, Empress Lu monopolized power and ruled the dynasty. She reused the people of the Lu family and placed them in important positions, forming a situation of dictatorship over her relatives. Divide the members of his family into princes and hold great power

In the sixth year of Emperor Xiaohui (189 BC). This year, Zhou Bo was the captain, Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, was difficult to go outside, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo responded to the inside, and the kings of the Liu family rose up and killed Zhu Lu. Zhou Bo sent troops to search for the Lu clan, no matter the old or the young, all of them were killed, the Lu clan was cut down and eradicated, and a bloody struggle between the Liu royal group and the Lu family's relatives ended in the victory of the royal group.
