Before Mrs. Qi was disposed of, why didn't she choose to commit suicide? Don't overcomplicate it
Preface. In 202 BC, the centuries-long China** ended, the Han Dynasty was established, and Liu Bang ascended the throne as Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, becoming the first emperor in Chinese history. In the depths of this peaceful and peaceful palace, a palace power struggle is going on in the shadows.
A lawsuit led to the first in Chinese history"Man-pig"。
Han Gaozu had many concubines, and the most favored of them was Mrs. Qi, who had outstanding dancing skills. Mrs. Qi is not only beautiful and talented, but also gave birth to Liu Yi, the youngest son of Han Gaozu. Han Gaozu doted on this smart and clever child very much, and planned to abolish the weak eldest son Liu Ying and replace Liu Ruyi as the crown prince.
This caused great anger among the eldest son, Liu Ying's mother, Empress Lu. Empress Lu came from the market and entered the palace because of her beauty. She had a strong thirst for power and hoped that her son would succeed her to the throne and become the second emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Han Gaozu was in a dilemma because of a quarrel between two concubines. He tried to reconcile the differences between the concubines, but Madame Qi became more and more aggressive, and Empress Lu became more and more pretentious.
In 195 BCE, Han Gaozu became seriously ill. Empress Lü seized the opportunity and worked with the ministers to keep the crown prince. On his deathbed, Gaozu tried to save the lives of Madame Qi and Liu Ruyi, but it was too late.
After the death of Han Gaozu, Empress Lü was in charge of the government. She first put Mrs. Qi under house arrest, and then tried to summon Liu Ruyi many times and kill her. Liu Ruyi escaped several times under the protection of Zhou Chang.
In 189 BC, Empress Lü finally waited for her chance. She took advantage of the absence of the crown prince Liu Ying to poison the eight-year-old Liu Ruyi, broke the cage, and saved Han Gaozu's life. After Liu Ruyi's death, Mrs. Qi immediately became the target of Empress Lu.
Empress Lu ruthlessly chopped off Ms. Qi's limbs, gouged out her eyes, and cut off her nose and ears. The once beautiful Maihime has been transformed into an unrecognizable corpse.
Empress Lu beat him up"Human", executed in the pigsty, becoming the first person in Chinese history to be executed by Ling Chi"Human"。
When the crown prince Liu Ying saw Mrs. Qi again, he couldn't do anything. Heartbroken, he died soon after. The dark court conflict is over. Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi fell victim to Empress Lü's preservation of the throne, and their tragedy foreshadowed the cruelty and tragedy of the future transfer of power in the Han Dynasty.
Empress Lü achieved a double victory: her son retained the throne and her sworn enemy was put to death.
Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had many concubines, but the most popular was the beautiful dancing lady Qi. She is not only talented and deeply loved by Han Gaozu, but also gave birth to a smart and clever youngest son Liu Ru for Liu Bang.
Han Gaozu loved Liu Ruyi very much and wanted Liu Ruyi to be the crown prince and replace his eldest son Liu Ying. This aroused the wrath of Liu Ying's mother, Empress Lü, the wife of Han Gaozu.
Empress Lü was the wife of Han Gaozu, who won her in the First Anti-Han War. She was born in the market and is well versed in the art of power. She knew that if Liu Ru became the crown prince, her and her son's status would be threatened. So, she began to strategize, win over ministers in the palace, and consolidate her power.
In 195 BCE, Han Gaozu became seriously ill. Empress Lü took the opportunity to organize a coup d'état and united with important ministers in the court to retain the crown prince of her son Liu Ying. Gao Zu was powerless to change the status quo, so he could only try to save the lives of Liu Ruyi and Mrs. Qi. He sent his henchman Zhou Chang to protect Liu Ruyi, hoping that Empress Lu would let his young son go for the sake of his face.
In 198, Han Gaozu died. Empress Lü began to purge the opposition, first placing Liu Bang's favorite concubine under house arrest, then summoning Liu Ruyi and executing her several times. Under the protection of Zhou Chang, Liu Ruyi survived.
One day in 189 BC, while Liu Ying was hunting, Empress Lü poisoned Liu Ruyi, who was only 8 years old. Liu Ying returned to Beijing with a broken heart. Empress Lu got her wish, and her son's position as crown prince was also retained.
After Liu Ruyi's death, Ms. Qi's fate was also tragic. Empress Lu brutally executed Madame Qi and turned the beautiful dancer into a disfigured one"Human"。
Empress Lu retained her son Liu Ying's position as the crown prince in one fell swoop, and got rid of her enemy, Mrs. Qi, and Liu Ying's mother and son Liu Ruyi. His ruthlessness retained his position of power in the Han Dynasty and allowed his son to ascend to the throne of Emperor Xiaohui of the Han Dynasty.
This brutal palace coup was also the trigger for the Han court's *** case, and it foreshadowed the cruelty and unpleasantness of the transition of power to the new dynasty.
Ms. Qi paid with her life, but she realized that drug addiction could not be exchanged for true love.
Madame Qi was originally just an ordinary dancer, but her talent earned her a place in the court of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang was deeply impressed by her outstanding appearance and dancing skills, and soon became one of Liu Bang's favorite concubines.
Mrs. Qi gave birth to a smart and clever son Liu Ruyi for Liu Bang, and Liu Bang loved him very much. In order to curry favor with Mrs. Qi, Liu Bang planned to get rid of his eldest son Liu Ying and make Liu Ruyi the crown prince.
Liu Bang's behavior angered Empress Lu in the palace. Empress Lu knew that if Liu Ruyi became the crown prince, her and her son's status would be threatened. Therefore, during Gaozu's illness, she began to plot to let her son continue to be the crown prince.
When Liu Bang was seriously ill, Mrs. Qi always stayed by the bedside, hugging Liu Ruyi and crying, trying to awaken Liu Bang's love and pity for his son. She repeatedly begged Liu Bang to change his mind and make Liu Ruyi the crown prince.
After Han Gaozu's death, Liu Ying ascended the throne, and Madame Qi realized that her dependence on Han Gaozu could not replace Han Gaozu's love. Liu Bang tried to save her and her son's lives on her deathbed, but it was too late.
Empress Lu first put Mrs. Qi under house arrest, and then summoned Liu Ruyi many times to kill her. In the end, Liu Ying poisoned Liu Ruyi when she was not at home, and Mrs. Qi passed out.
Later, he realized that he had ignored the rules of the power game due to his excessive loyalty and trust in Han Gaozu. He mistakenly believed that as long as Han Gaozu favored him, he could do whatever he wanted.
When Empress Lu executed Mrs. Qi, she was disfigured"Human"It was only then that she realized that she had paid a terrible price. She has been dependent on Han Gaozu all her life, but she has never loved him.
The ruthless political game inside and outside the court is beyond the imagination of the dancers. Loyalty cannot be mistaken for true love. Holding real power is the only way for women to survive in this era. But for Mrs. Qi, it was too late.
Liu Ru is not guilty of sacrificing her life, and she is not satisfied with sacrificing her mother's love.
Liu Ru was the most favored son of Han Gaozu. His mother, relatives, and wife were both beautiful and very popular in the palace. Gaozu wanted to get rid of his eldest son Liu Ying and make Liu Ru the crown prince, which angered Liu Ying's biological mother Empress Lu.
Empress Lu knew that if Liu Ru became the crown prince, her and her son's status would be threatened. Therefore, she began to enlist the support of the ministers of the court, and finally retained her son's position as crown prince.
After Liu Bang's death, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying ascended the throne. Lu Hou began to purge dissidents. She first put Liu Bang's concubine under house arrest, and then found many opportunities to kill Liu Ruyi.
Under the protection of Zhou Chang and others, eight-year-old Liu Ruyi evaded Empress Lu many times. In the end, Empress Lu took advantage of Emperor Hui's absence and poisoned Liu Ruyi.
After Emperor Hui returned to Beijing from Kono, he was shocked to learn that his brother had been killed. He could no longer stop the bloody methods of his mother, Empress Dowager Lu. Liu Ruyi died innocently and never experienced true happiness in her short life.
Liu Ru was born in the midst of court strife, and his mother, relatives, and his wife tried to gain power through him, so Empress Lü wanted to get rid of him.
An innocent child is thrown into a power game and becomes dependent on his mother. Empress Dowager Lu also saw Mrs. Qi's love for her son as a threat.
Liu Ruyi didn't realize that she was being used like this, and she thought that her beloved mother would always protect her. When the poison took her young life, she knew nothing about the cruel court world.
Conclusion. Mother's love should be enough to protect the child, but in the court of troubled times, mother's love cannot be exchanged for the child's salvation. Mrs. Qi's dedication and love for Liu Bang eventually killed her own flesh and blood, and her sacrifice failed to save her son's last life.
Liu Yu's short eight-year life ended in fear and ignorance, and he fell victim to the struggle for imperial power. His tragic life became a testimony to this dark time.
