Everybody knows,Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, which has been controversial until later generations.
himBorn as a civilianClass, starting from scratch, it took three years to attack and destroy the Qin State, and four years to destroy the Chu State. It only took seven years, and jumped from the Surabaya PavilionBecome the emperor of the Han Dynasty
The speed and intensity of such a transformation is absolutely unprecedented. This has to be admired for his wisdom. But even thenLiu Bang, who is extremely wise, also has failures in life, that is, the issue of personnel arrangements before his death.
After Liu Bang's death, his wife Lü Pheasant became the first woman in Chinese history to be called a dynasty, and it was she who opened the precedent of the Han Dynasty's foreign relatives. ThereforeLater generations scolded her for overstepping her authority and harming her for thousands of years, and Liu Bang was also accused of being blind and failing to entrust.
So,Let Lu Pheasant master the Chaogang, is it really Liu Bang's calculation error? The answer is no.
This starts with how much Lu Pheasant helped Liu Bang.
1. Family power boosts Liu Bang
When Liu Bang was the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, has no money and no power, and once went to the housewarming banquet of Lu Pheasant's father Li Taigong with his thick skinI was fortunate to be appreciated by Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Lu married her daughter to Liu Bang as his wife
Li Taigong was a well-known tycoon at that time, and his family property and connections were not small.
Later, there was the early stage of Liu Bang's White Snake UprisingThe help behind him is Lu Pheasant
Liu BangThe establishment of the Han Dynasty was indispensable
Second, the combination of pearls and pearls has increased Liu Bang's popularity
After Liu Bang held an uprising, he carried out activities in the mountains。Many people tried to look for him, but they couldn't find him.
There is only Lu Pheasant, every time Lu Pheasant goes to look for him, he will definitely be able to find him.
Everyone else felt very strange and asked Lu Pheasant what the reason wasLu Pheasant replied that there were auspicious clouds in the sky above where Liu Bang was, she followed Yunqi to find Liu Bang.
That's itmakes many people think that Liu Bang is a person who does big things, and they want to attach themselves to him
In fact, Lu Pheasant and Liu Bang conspired to use people's superstitious psychology at that time to create a momentum.
Third, timely in place to stabilize Liu Bang's defense
As Liu Bang's power grows day by day, there are many capable people around him, such as Han Xin, Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others in front.
ButWork in the rearEqually important, it needs someone to arrange it.
This time,Lu Pheasant arrived in time, the army's logistical supply, and state affairs were handled in an orderly manner.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, internal contradictions arose again.
The biggest one isHan Xin and Peng Yue rebelled, causedLu Pheasant decisively came out to call the shots and booby-trapped Han Xin.
AlsoChop Peng Yue into meat sauce and distribute it to the princes to play a deterrent roleto help Liu Bang stabilize the Han Dynasty regime.
It can be seen from the above that Empress Lu was indeed of great help to Liu Bang.
But from another point of view,Liu Bang has already seen Lu Pheasant's methods
When Liu Bang was alive, she wasDare to call your own shotsKill meritorious officials, then after Liu Bang's death, it is inevitable to dictate the dynasty.
In other words, Liu Bang was clear about the future harem politics and the dictatorship of his relatives.
That being the caseWhy didn't he kill Empress Lu before he died, so as to prevent future troubles?
For this issueThe answer is: you can't kill it。There are two reasons for this:
1. Liu Bang is politically virtuous and helpful
After Liu Bang became emperor, do not dare to enjoy the fruits of victory alone,and there were seven princes and kings with different surnames
Including Han Xin, King of Chu, Peng Yue of Liang, Wang Yingbu of Huainan, Zang Di, King of Yan, Zhang Er of Zhao, Wu Rui, King of Changsha, and Han Xin, King of Han.
In fact, the prince king with a different surname is not Liu Bang's original intention, heJust to fulfill the promise made to attack Xiang Yu together that year,Give a reasonable account to the meritorious person and do so.
What he wants is the world of the Liu family, with ** as the centralization of power, rather than a "nominally" and "fragmented" dynasty.
Because Liu Bang felt that the existence of princes and kings with different surnames would always be an unstable factor.
So,Dividing the princes and kings with different surnames is just a delaying tactic for Liu Bang
Wait until the political situation is stable and then clear them one by one, so that there will not be too much chaos at that time.
And the critical moment,Empress Lu's courage came in handy。She stood up to help Liu Bang,Killed Han Xin for the crime of rebellion, and intercepted Peng Yue for the crime of possible rebellion.
In short, Lu Hou did a proper job and solved the unspeakable hidden for Liu Bang.
So,Empress Lu's mature performance in politics impressed Liu Bang
Then, I am old, and the prince is still youngWho can the future of the Han Dynasty depend on? Only Empress Lu.
Second, the ** people of the Han River
In Liu Bang's later years, a very influential event occurred in the Western Han Dynasty, namelyLiu Bang wanted to abolish Liu YingThe position of the crown prince, whileRe-establishmentThe son born to Mrs. QiLiu Ruyi is the crown prince
Liu Bang made this suggestion several times, but the courtiers unanimously opposed it. No matter what, Liu Bang still insisted on his opinion.
Lv HouImmediately after hearing about itFind Zhang Liang to make a move, Zhang Liang asked Empress Lu to be with the crown princeGo and invite the "Shangshan Sihao".
You must know that these people are the people Liu Bang couldn't invite when he tried his best to invite themIs it possible for Empress Lu to get it?
For the sake of her son's future, Empress Lu gave up。In the end, with a sincere heart, he was moved by the "Shangshan Sihao", and they agreed to go out of the mountain to support the prince.
Liu BangAfter seeing the "Shangshan Sihao".completely dispelled the idea of changing the crown prince, and let Mrs. Qi cry to death.
It can be seen that Empress Lu has her own set of methods. Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Shusun Tong, Zhou Chang and others were all supporters of Empress Lu. So,Liu Bang also had to deal with Empress Lu, not to kill Empress Lu
In addition, almost none of the ministers of the DPRK and China supported Mrs. Qi's mother and son.
Conclusion
Liu Bang's choice was correctIt's not that he doesn't dare to move Empress Lu, or he can't move, in factIt is impossible to move
But what Liu Bang didn't expect was that Empress Lu would later attack his sons. However, if we analyze the situation in the imperial court at that time, we will find that Empress Lu also had to do this.
Because,The opposite of Empress Lu is the gang of heroes who were born and died with Liu Bang, their background is no different from Liu Bang, and naturally there is no guarantee that they do not have the heart to be kings.
So,Empress Lu must seize power and increase the power of the Lu family, so as to ensure the stability of the regime.
If you want to achieve the goal,The best way is to snatch Liu Bang's politically immature sons, instead of fighting with the military merit group with open fire.
