In the fourth year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (191 BC), Liu Ying was crowned. Crowning is a coming-of-age ceremony, which means that when you reach the age of twenty, you can get married; to put it more deeply, it means that you have become an adult and you should make your own decisions; to put it more deeply, you have grown into a man and the whole country should listen to him of.
But although Liu Ying was already twenty years old, Lu Pheasant took care of everything, and he only drank and had sex all day long. In fact, drinking and having sex is just an appearance. The real essence is pain, heartache, and unspeakable misery.
This year, Liu Ying is 20 years old and it’s time to get married. As an emperor, getting married is a small matter, but appointing a queen is a big deal. Lu Pheasant is the Empress Dowager. For the continuation of power, the throne of the Empress cannot fall into the hands of others. Lu Pheasant arranged a marriage for Liu Ying. One was very good to Lu Pheasant, but not so good to Liu Ying. Lu Pheasant gave his granddaughter to Liu Ying. Regardless of whether Liu Ying wanted to or not, Lu Pheasant's granddaughter would definitely become the queen. Even if she could not give birth to a prince, she would still be the queen.
Faced with Lu Pheasant's kindness, Liu Ying could only feel sad again. Lu Pheasant is afraid of everything, except that he is not afraid of others being sad, especially Liu Ying. No matter how sad she is, Liu Ying will only drink and have sex. Liu Bang said that Liu Ying didn't look like him. Not only did Liu Ying not look like him, she simply didn't grow up. She is already twenty, but Liu Ying is still as weak as a child. Liu Ying is afraid of violence and cannot afford weapons. Facing a pack of wolves, without weapons, you can only leave scars.
As if it was a trick of fate, Liu Ying was born in such a cold family. When Liu Ying was young, Liu Bang hung her on his butt. When he lost in a battle, he would kick him out of the car and shout insults. After Liu Bang became emperor, he didn't give Liu Ying any paternal love. He only thought about how to destroy Liu Ying all day long. Although Lu Pheasant loves him, that love is also cold. It can be said that he does not love Liu Ying, but uses Liu Ying. Lu Zhi poisoned Liu Ruyi, killed Qi Ji, and now asked Liu Ying to marry his niece. Facing this pair of wolves, Liu Ying can only be a silent lamb.
Getting closer to each other was Lu Pheasant's way of consolidating his position. The daughter-in-law and niece she chose for Liu Ying was named Zhang Yan, the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan and Zhang Ao. Lu Fei may have been inspired by Lou Jing's marriage plan, or else she was just as smart as Lou Jing. Of course, Lu Fei married Zhang Yan to Liu Ying because he might have wanted to vent his hatred for Liu Bang on Liu Ying. Liu Bang despised Zhang Ao and cursed indiscriminately, but Lv Zhi let Zhang Ao's blood flow on Liu's descendants. If Lu Pheasant did this, Liu Ying would accept it calmly, but Liu Bang would be so angry that he would vomit blood. This is one of the differences between Liu Ying and Liu Bang.
Putting all the Lu family members into the royal family, allowing them to take root immediately and blossom and bear fruit, this was Lu Pheasant's fundamental strategy for dealing with the Liu family's children. Lu Pheasant wanted her granddaughter Zhang Yan to give her a grandson, but Zhang Yan, like her father, failed to live up to expectations and made mistakes at critical times. Until Liu Ying's death, Queen Zhang Yan did not give birth to a son.
In the fifth year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (190 BC), there were thunders in winter, peach and plum blossoms, and jujube trees bearing fruit; severe drought and famine in summer; in autumn, Cao Shen died, then Liu Fei died, and then Fan Kuai and Zhang Liang also left. The important people are slowly leaving, and Lu Pheasant's dream is about to come true. Although Zhang Yan couldn't give birth to a son, God was still kind to Lu Pheasant.
In the seventh year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (188 BC), Liu Ying reached the end of her life. It is said that two solar eclipses occurred before Liu Ying's death, one was a total solar eclipse. A total solar eclipse means that the sun disappears. From the current astronomical point of view, it means that the sun is blocked. The sun is blocked and cannot be seen by people on earth. The sun represents the prince, and the prince is covered, indicating that Lu Pheasant is truly in power.
During his seven years in office, Liu Ying was depressed every year, drinking and having sex every day. In the past seven years, apart from shedding a few tears for his half-brother, being seriously ill for his stepmother for more than a year, and causing Cao Shen's son to be whipped two hundred times by his father, he just found a few... I personally built a section of the Great Wall. Liu Ying was kind-hearted and built the Great Wall only in moderation without destroying the country. If it was Lu Pheasant who built the Great Wall, it would definitely be the female version of Qin Shihuang.
"Hanshu" records:
He cultivates filial piety internally, cultivates relatives and external courtesy to the prime minister, favors Qi Mou and Zhao Yin, and shows kindness and respect. Hearing Shusun Tong's advice, he was frightened. He accepted the advice of Prime Minister Cao and said it sincerely. He can be said to be a tolerant master. Empress Dowager Cao Lu suffered a loss of great virtue, she is sad for her husband!
This saying means that Liu Ying was kind and virtuous, but was short-lived by Lu Pheasant. However, if a person lives into his twenties and has not lived a happy day, his life will be meaningless. If living means suffering, it is better not to live. Liu Ying's sad life ended sadly like this. After Liu Ying's death, no one would bear the pain of Lu Pheasant's crimes. Crime without pain will continue until the criminal dies.
Probably in Lu Zhi's heart, Liu Ying is no longer his son, but just a tool for him to grasp power. When he died, Lu Pheasant mourned. The courtiers saw Lu Pheasant howling, but they didn't see her tears. For a strong and resolute woman like Lu Pheasant to cry without tears, she would be more like a ferocious beast. Lu Pheasant cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf. He didn't cry out his sadness, but he cried out the terror and worry in his heart. A worried and frightening beast howled loudly, and the world suddenly became sad; black clouds pressed down on Chang'an, and all the officials were terrified.
In these years, several powerful courtiers died one after another, including his brother-in-law Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai was loyal and courageous. If he were alive, this brother-in-law would be her biggest supporter. Among the surviving courtiers, there were also Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and Wang Ling. These mountains made Lu Pheasant's heart hurt.
The bigger problem is that Zhang Yan did not give birth to a son. Liu Ying was so young that she died before Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and Wang Ling. Lu Pheasant couldn't understand. Lu Pheasant felt that even if Liu Ying thought life was unhappy and wanted to die early, she should wait until all the old ministers were dead before she died. After Liu Bang's death, Lu Pheasant and Shen Shiqi conspired to kill the old hero. Now that Liu Ying is dead, Lu Pheasant naturally also has plans to kill the hero.
After Zhang Liang's death, his son Zhang Piqiang inherited his wisdom. Zhang Piqiang lived in the imperial palace, and the imperial palace was the person who accompanied the emperor. Liu Ying suffered like this in her life and died young, which made Zhang Piqiang sad. When he saw Lu Pheasant howling and crying, he asked the Prime Minister Chen Ping, "The Queen Mother only has one son, the Emperor. When her son died, her mother just cried and was not sad at all. Do you know the reason?"
"What's the reason?"
"The emperor did not leave a powerful son, and the queen mother is very afraid of you big men who hold great power. If you make Lu Tai and Lu Chan the generals, send them to command the northern and southern armies, and then let all the people named Lu serve in court Become an official. This way the Queen Mother will feel at ease, and you will be able to avoid the disaster of war!"
Chen Ping, who suddenly woke up, immediately realized that the situation was not optimistic. Lu Pheasant was ruthless and ruthless. He first killed Han Xin, then Peng Yue, and then Liu Ruyi, mother and son. Each act was extremely vicious. Lu Pheasant was in power, and Chen Ping, as a courtier, was immediately killed if he was not careful. The emperor was newly mourned, and there was no benefit in competing with Lu Pheasant, so Chen Ping had no choice but to postpone the war for the time being.
The Northern and Southern Army was responsible for protecting the security of the imperial court and was in the hands of the Lu brothers. The safety of the imperial court was in the hands of the Lu brothers. Prime Minister Chen Ping transferred Zhu Lu to serve as officials in the imperial court, and all members of the imperial court were members of the Lu family. Since then, power has fallen into the hands of the Lu family. With the power in his hands, Lu Pheasant began to do whatever he wanted and went on a killing spree.
Lu Zhi's fake crying is worth it. Real crying is not as valuable as fake crying. A woman's fake crying is the most valuable. If Lu Zhi was really crying from the beginning, how could his Lu family suddenly gain power and kill whoever they wanted? When Liu Bang died, Chen Ping cried loudly and bitterly; when Liu Ying died, Lu Pheasant cried wildly. Both of them cried, both of them were drunkards who were not interested in drinking.
After that, the era of the Lu family came, and the Liu family's children were like ants in Lu Pheasant's eyes.
