As the first woman in Chinese history to really climb to the pinnacle of power, Lv Pheasant has always been a politician, ambitious, strong woman synonymous, Sima Qian in the “Queen Dowager Lv Benji”, a stroke to draw her ruthless: “Lv Pheasant is a man of great fortitude, assisted Gaozu set the world, the Minister who put to death more Lv Pheasant force.”
The government of the country has been in power for a long time, and the ruler and ministers all want to rest from the suffering of the warring states ……. The government is not in the house, the world is calm, the punishment is rarely used, the sinners are the hype, the people do crops and harvest, food and clothing nourish”.
In a word, the years are quiet, the people live and work in peace and happiness. After the execution of the Lüs, the Han Dynasty was able to have the “rule of Wenjing”, which was really due to the economic and political foundation laid by Lü Pheasant.
Of course, the most impressive thing for the readers of history is the viciousness of Lv Pheasant’s revenge.
Few people notice that she was also a woman, a mother.
As a woman, Lu Pang married Liu Bang and must have been a hundred times unhappy at first. Liu Bang was a dozen years older than her, and at that time was only a pavilion chief in Pei County (equivalent to the current police station chief), not doing his job properly, drinking and picking up girls all day, a proper greasy middle-aged man. In the words of Xiao He, who later became his close comrade, Liu Bang “has a lot to say, but little to do”, that is, he is good at bragging and can’t do anything.
The first thing you need to do is to get your daughter married to Liu Bang.
The tragedy of women in a patriarchal society is that they don’t like it any more, but their father promised them to a cat or a dog.
The first thing you need to do is to get a pair of children from Liu Bang.
The mother of Lu Phenchen soon discovered that she had married a scum.
The first thing that I did was to get to know Liu Bang, who was a “good drinker and a womanizer”, but that was not a slag in those days.
The first dominoes were pushed down by Chen Shou, and the world was in chaos. When Liu Bang saw the opportunity, he left his wife and children behind, pulled up his men and put them into the struggle against Qin.
This can not be considered slag. After all, the man has a swan hú of the will, when the world as its own, sacrificing the love of children well.
But Lu Phenchen is miserable, stay at home, not only to serve the elderly, raising children, all day long, but also fear, every minute may be as “bandits” to kill.
As you can imagine, it is this kind of life that slowly refines a weak woman into a strong woman of steel.
When the Qin dynasty was overthrown, Lü Phe was expecting good news and bad news: the good news was that Liu Bang was crowned King of Han by Xiang Yu; the bad news was that Liu Bang’s revolution did not forget about fishing and took a beautiful woman from Dingtao as his concubine, and he was on an expedition to make love to her day and night, performing the legend on horseback.
The beautiful woman was Lady Qi, who soon also gave birth to a son for Liu Bang: Liu Ruyi.
From this name, it was clear that Lady Qi’s mother and son were much loved by Liu Bang.
This laid the fuse for Lv Pheasant’s crazy revenge later.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades began to tear each other. Liu Bang led the Han army from Guanzhong to fight back home, but he was defeated in the battle of Sui Shui, so he broke out with only a few dozen horses and wanted to return to Pei County to pick up his wife and children, but Xiang Yu got ahead of him and took Liu Bang’s wife Lü Phe and father Liu Taigong as hostages.
The next scene was enough to nail Liu Bang to the list of historical scum – oh no, the list of historical scum.
Although Liu Bang picked them up in the carriage, it was not long before the Chu cavalry chased after them, and Liu Bang pushed his own son and daughter off the carriage in order to escape, fearing that the carriage would run slowly under the weight. Xiahou Ying, who was driving for him, couldn’t stand it and got off the carriage to save the children, but after a while, Liu Bang kicked them down again and Xiahou Ying went down again to save them.
Have you ever seen such a man, such a father?
I know there are a lot of literary components in “The Records of the Grand Historian”, but this is certainly true, give Sima Qian a hundred guts, he would not dare to rumor that the founding emperor of the dynasty so dehumanized.
As a wife and mother, how big was the psychological shadow area when Lu Phee knew about this?
Besides, in Xiang Yu’s army as a hostage for about two years, what kind of life did Lu Phean lead, and was she abused by Xiang Yu or other Chu troops? Common sense inferred that what happened is normal.
The first thing that happened to her was that she was not able to get rid of her grievances.
But Liu Bang in, she still dare not act rashly. After all, how to spend the scum, but also to not recognize her status as a big milk, as long as he can take over the mountain, she can power the world.
Women of that era, no matter how sleight of hand they are, they cannot escape the fate of being dependent on men. Knowing that the other party is scum, but with the scum can not be separated for a moment; without the scum, she is nothing.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the actual website.
A woman, the longer the hatred accumulates, the more terrible the outbreak.
First of all, of course, from the most hated people to start.
Mrs. Qi is also not do not die, on the basis of Liu Bang favor, repeatedly asked Liu Bang to replace Liu Ying, Liu Ruyi as the crown prince, and Liu Bang does have this meaning. If not for Zhang Liang standing Lv Pheasant, for her advice, most likely, Lv Pheasant and Liu Ying mother and son will die a miserable death.
So, the first thing Lu Phe did after taking power was to put Lady Qi in seclusion, and then, sent someone to summon Liu Ruyi, who had been crowned King of Zhao.
The first thing he did was to send someone to call Liu Ruyi, who had been crowned king of Zhao.
The first time Liu Ying went out for hunting, and Liu Ruyi was the only one left in the palace, Lv Pheasant sent someone to poison him to death. She then “cut off Mrs. Qi’s hands and feet, removed her eyes, glorified her ears, drank mute medicine, and made her live in a latrine, and named her a human pig. (The Records of Empress Dowager Lu)
She cut off Lady Qi’s limbs, gouged out her eyes, deafened her ears, and dosed her with mute medicine, and then threw her into a latrine and named her “human pig zhì” (pig).
Although, Mrs. Qi is not good, but Lv Pheasant’s revenge means so cruel, indeed, is not normal human dry out, the latter’s Wu Zetian have to be ashamed of themselves.
Not only that, after a few days, she also brought Liu Ying to visit the human swine.
At this time, although Liu Ying was already the emperor, but still a teenager, see such a horrible thing, and thought it was some kind of alien, when asked, know that it was Mrs. Qi, was scared and cried out, from then on a sickness, and later sent someone to say to Lü Phenchen: “This is not human to do. I am the son of the Empress Dowager, but I cannot rule the world.” (The Records of Empress Dowager Lu)
This is not a human thing to do, I have a mother like you, really do not deserve to rule the world.
When Liu Ying reached marriageable age, Lu Phenchen forced a girl named Zhang Yan to be Liu Ying’s queen.
Who is Zhang Yan? Liu Ying’s own sister Liu Le’s daughter, that is, Lu Phean’s own granddaughter, Liu Ying’s own niece, was only eleven years old.
Under his mother’s lustful authority, Liu Ying grew from doubt to despair in life and “drank for lustful pleasure on this day and did not listen to politics, so he became ill. He ignored the imperial government and indulged in sex until his body was emptied.
This is the only rebellion he dared to do.
Thinking about it, this posthumous puppet emperor, who died with the posthumous name of “Hui”, was really miserable.
It is not known whether Lv Pheasant regretted forcing her son into such a situation. However, from what she did next, she should not have the word “regret” in her dictionary.
Liu Ying and Zhang Yan were never married, let alone have children, so Lü Pheasant gave Zhang Yan the boy he had with another beauty in the palace, saying that she had given birth to him and made him the crown prince, and then killed the beauty.
Liu Ying died of illness, and the crown prince was crowned as the young emperor of Han. When the young emperor grew up and learned the truth about his birth mother’s murder, he became angry and threatened to say, “How could the Empress Dowager do this, I am still young, when I grow up, we will see!” This was heard by Lü Phenchen, without saying a word, she put the young emperor in seclusion and quietly killed him, and then replaced him with another young emperor.
The young emperor was killed by Lü Phenchen, Liu Ying’s own son, and Lü Phenchen’s own grandson.
A woman, a mother, a grandmother, how can be ruthless to such an extent?
Simple answer, one is to vent the hate, the second is for the power lust.
Where is the legendary natural motherly love?
Under the imperial system, the harem does not believe in tears, much less motherly love.
As analyzed above, Lu Phenchen can be said to be a victim of male power + imperial power in ancient China. Since she married the scum Liu Bang, she has been insecure, and as Liu Bang climbed to the highest peak of power, this insecurity became stronger and stronger. From Sima Qian’s record, Lv Pheasant has both ambition and drive and sleight of hand. Such women were rare in that era, but unfortunately, the system made it so that there was no formal channel for her to exert herself, so she had to rely on ruthlessness to seize the highest power and maintain her own security.
The reason why she was able to help Liu Bang get rid of many of the founding officials was that she subconsciously wanted Liu Bang to understand that I can do your dirty work, but you have to guarantee my status and safety.
If she was caught by Chen Ping and Zhou Bo before she died, she would probably have said something like “I am a dog of Gaozu, I will bite whoever he tells me to bite”.
In other words, the desire for power, a woman’s “natural” motherly love, but not “system” of perversion, this is the magic spell of history, no exceptions.
