When it comes to Liu Bang's wife, many people will think of Lü Yan first, but Lü Yan is not Liu Bang's first woman, before Lü Lu, Cao Shi has always been by Liu Bang's side, this Cao Clan and Liu Bang are similar in age, and they can also be regarded as a person who can know pain and heat. "You're not young, we're not clear together, you should also become a family!" Liu Bang didn't think so, isn't it good to be free? Which constraint to do?
It was not that he was unaware of Cao's thoughts, but Liu Taigong did not agree with the marriage, and he talked to his father several times, but his father's attitude was very firm: he did not agree. But he couldn't say this to Cao Shi, women, it's easy to think about it. Cao Shi followed him for so many years, has been working hard and complaining without fame, and also gave birth to a fat son Liu Fei for himself, Liu Bang is very eager to marry her into the family. The days of living together are finally over, but the bride is not a Cao family, but an outsider, from the single father's Lü Yan. In order to ally with the Lü clan, Liu Bang chose to accede to Lü Taigong's request to establish an alliance with Liu Lü by marrying Lü Yan. "Why isn't your bride me!?" Cao Shi did not understand, did not accept but also had no way to change anything, she could only change herself, and the child was good to raise, without Liu Bang's help, in this place in Pei County, how could the mother and son survive? Cao Shi was sick, very sick, he hoped that Liu Bang could come to see the last side of him, but the familiar figure did not appear, waiting for The Lü Yan who Cao Thought had taken away his life's happiness.
Why should a woman embarrass a woman? Lü Yan did not resent the sister of cao shi, when Cao shi was seriously ill, she not only came to visit, but also said to Cao Shi: "Sister, thank you for taking care of Liu Ji for so many years, he has no constraints in life, he knows hu eating and drinking all day, fortunately you take care of him, and my sister thank you here." This sentence sounded very harsh to Cao Shi, and she was about to leave, but Liu Fei was still young and had no one to take care of, so she choked up and said to Lu Yan: "If you really recognize me as a sister, please take care of Liu Fei for me and treat him as your own child!" Lü Yan promised to come down, Cao Shi died, and the person who accompanied her through the last part of her life was not Liu Bang, but Lü Yan.
When Liu Fei could call his father, Liu Bang realized that he had such a big son, and he stroked Liu Fei's head and said to him: "Child, what about your mother?" Liu Fei looked back at Lü Fei, who waved his hand at him, and Liu Fei said very sensibly: "My mother has passed away, and before I died, I was entrusted to Gan Niang." After saying that, he pointed his finger at Lü Yan, Liu Bang turned his head, did not speak for a long time, he secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and laughed: "God treats me not thin, I already have such a big son!" After Liu Bang established the Great Han Dynasty, Liu Fei was made the King of Qi and became the most powerful clan prince, which more or less had Liu Bang's guilt for the Cao clan.
Looking at the jade-like Lü Lu, Liu Bangle couldn't close his mouth, and he said to Lü Yan: "I Don't know what blessings Liu Ji has cultivated in his previous life, so that he can marry such a beautiful person as you!" Lü Yan is also a person who has seen the world, she took Liu Bang's hand and said: "Husband Jun, people say that marrying chickens with chickens, marrying dogs with dogs, you are also a forty-something person, I hope that Husband Jun can be a big husband, don't have too many children and daughters, Gentle Township is also a general tomb!" Liu Bang was gray-headed and dirty-faced by Lü Yan, fortunately Lü Yan was not a man, otherwise he would have to call him big brother.
Lü Yan became Liu Bang's wife and became a veritable head of the family, and the liu family's big and small things were all decided by her, because Liu Taigong was old, and Liu Ji was no longer home for a long time for the sake of his career, Lü Yan alone shouldered liu Ji's responsibilities, raising Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan's two children, while also taking care of the elderly Liu Taigong. Every night, when Lü Yan put the children to sleep, she would secretly cry, because Liu Bang and her gathered less and more, and she had to worry about it every day, after all, Liu Bang did something that lost his head, maybe bad news would come that day. Lü Yan could not follow Liu Bang's side, and could only silently pray for Liu Bang to be safe and sound. After Liu Bang became the Duke of Pei, Lü Yan's worries did not decrease, but more and more, because of Liu Bang's sake, there were often some uninvited guests in the family, for these ill-intentioned people, Lü Yan sent them one by one, never told Liu Bang.
Some people say that there is no clarity between Lü Yan and JingYiqi, but Jingshiqi is the person who replaces Liu Bang and has been guarding Lü Yan's side, and no matter how strong a woman is, she also needs a broad shoulder and a haven from the wind, and The trial food provides all this for Lü Yan. The Chu-Han war began, and Lü Yan and Liu Taigong became prisoners of the Chu army and became a weight for Xiang Yu to threaten Liu Bang. But Xiang Yu's plan did not succeed, because whether it was Liu Taigong or Lü Yan, they were insignificant compared with Liu Bang's great cause. In this process, Lü Yan deeply understood the meaning of "people must rely on themselves", and the hope of the Lü clan was in her hands, and she must persist, although the person who had sworn with himself had already been too lazy to look at himself.
Lü Yan, who worked hard and complained, met the ungrateful Liu Bang, especially the appearance of Lady Qi of Dingtao, which made Liu Bang completely forget Lü Yan, the wife of the scum, just like when Liu Bang married Lü Yan, Cao Shi became the biggest victim. No one is the winner, everyone is a victim, if you have to say who is the winner, there is only one person, that is Liu Bang.
Qi Ji of Dingtao was a dancer, and with her beauty and graceful dancing style, she won the favor of Liu Bang. Soon after Liu Ruyi was born, Liu Bang was very fond of this son, often praising this son as himself, and looking at Liu Ying everywhere was not pleasing to the eye. Lü Yan seemed to feel the danger, because Liu Bang's attitude meant that Liu Bang had the idea of abolishing Chang Liyou, which was not only a matter of deposing the crown prince, but a problem of destroying Liu Lü's alliance. Liu Bang became the Son of Heaven, and if he wanted to strengthen the centralization of power, he first had to solve the problem of Lü's foreign relatives, princes with different surnames, and heroes and heroes who were proud of their merits.
The idea of abolishing Chang Liyou is not only because of Liu Bang's empathy, but also related to political purposes, Liu Bang is jealous of the Lü clan's foreign relatives represented by Lü Yan, his son Liu Ying is a good child, but his personality is too weak, and Lü Yan is a very strong person, Liu Bang is worried that after his death, the world may change masters, and Liu Shi may be subverted. Therefore, using Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi to suppress the Lü clan became a means for Liu Bang, but Lü Yan was not easy to provoke, and the heroes were not fools, and they all resolutely opposed Liu Bang's abolition of Chang Liyou, because they knew that after dealing with the Lü clan, the next one would be their turn. The emergence of the "Shangshan Sihao" made Liu Bang realize that he could not be willful and break the original political pattern, even if he was a son of heaven.
"Are you still the Son of Heaven?" In the face of Lady Qi's question, Liu Bang could only helplessly say: "The prince's wings are already abundant and cannot be shaken." Liu Bang was also helpless, as a husband he lost the trust of his wife, as a son of heaven, he realized his helplessness and helplessness.
Bo Ji, someone blew her into the sky, in fact she was just a poor person. As the concubine of Wei Wangbao, he was accepted by Liu Bang as a side chamber, basically did not see Liu Bang several times, even if he gave birth to Liu Heng, he did not change anything, Liu Bang often forgot that there was still this concubine. Especially after Liu Bang had Lady Qi, thousands of people loved one person, and even forgot Bo Ji to the Ninth Heavenly Cloud. Lü Yan's cruelty to Lady Qi after taking power was in stark contrast to her tolerance for Bo Ji, and she asked Bo Ji to go to Dai Di and to her son Liu Heng. Before leaving, Lu Yan intimately arranged for Bo Ji to arrange several maids around him to take care of Bo Ji, including Dou E's room, you said that it was okay to take care of her, and it was not too much to say that it was to monitor her.
Finally being able to be with her son is the greatest wish of a mother, far away from the capital, the land of right and wrong, there will not be so many disputes. Bo Ji told Liu Heng to do what you, the princes, should do, protect the territory and the people for the benefit of one side, the land is not peaceful, there will often be Xiongnu people to harass, Liu Heng lived a life of fear, but at the same time developed a calm character. When the emissaries from the capital arrived and said that Zhou Bo had invited Liu Heng to enter the capital to succeed to the throne, Liu Heng hesitated, he did not dare to enter the capital, he was afraid that he would not be able to turn back. Bo Ji asked her younger brother Bo Zhao to inquire about the news on Liu Heng's behalf, and reached a tacit understanding with Zhou Bo, ensuring that the interests of the heroes were a promise and a prerequisite for Liu Heng to ascend to the throne.
Cao Shi, Lü Yan, Lady Qi, bo Ji, who is Liu Bang's favorite? First of all, excluding Bo Ji, she has never been loved from beginning to end; then there is Cao Shi, who lives a life with a partner and has nothing to do with feelings; as for Lü Yan, between the husband and wife in distress, what is maintained is not feelings but interests; Lady Qi, Liu Bang likes but is far from talking about the most loved. In my opinion, Liu Bang's favorite thing is the Great Han Dynasty, political power, and ruthlessness is one of the characteristics of the emperor.
A person's history, a family's word.
