Liu Luyuan, as the only daughter of Liu Bang and the first eldest princess of the Western Han Dynasty, has a sense of historical existence, compared with the later Princess Guantao, Princess Pingyang is not high. Lu Yuan is not her name, but a title, a princess of the State of Lu, and the eldest daughter, the nickname is Yuan, so it is called Lu Yuan.
Lü Yan was famous for being fierce and ruthless, but as a mother, for her only daughter, she was holding it in the palm of her hand, it was her heart and liver treasure, if it were not for her kneeling to Liu Bang several times, Liu Luyuan's fate would be difficult to say. With a blank cheque for 10,000 yuan, the elderly young Liu Bang won the favor of Lü Gong and married his eldest daughter Lü Yan to him, who was the director of the Surabaya Pavilion at the time.
Later, they gave birth to an eldest daughter named Liu Luyuan and a son named Liu Ying, who later became Emperor Hui of Han. The siblings were separated by about seven years. Although Liu Bang was born as a farmer, he naturally hated to do farm work, and he drank and bragged all day long, leading a group of subordinates to manage and maintain law and order in Surabaya. The income is estimated to have gone to the tavern. It is conceivable that Lü Yan followed him and suffered a lot of sins, not only to plant land and farm, to collect firewood, to cook and wash dishes, but also to take care of her children and her complaining father-in-law. Liu Luyuan certainly didn't have much luck to think about, he had to follow his mother to the ground every day to remove weeds, help his mother do housework, and coax his brother. Since Liu Bang entered the forest for Kou in Mangzhong Mountain, Lü Yan and his children have been living in Pei County, and later as Liu Bang became more and more busy, busy fighting outside, almost not in Pei County, Liu Luyuan saw his father even less, and the chance of getting his father's love was minimal. Later, after Liu Bang became the queen of Han, the situation of the Liu family improved, and with the help of Liu Bang's men, the Liu family moved into a large house. Liu Bang also found a thirty-something little white face named Zhen Zhiqi to manage the household chores for the Liu family. When Liu Bang occupied Xiang Yu's old lair Pengcheng, Xiang Yu was fighting with the State of Qi, and when he learned that the old nest was occupied, he hurried back, and attacked Pengcheng at night, Liu Bang only had to escape, and on the way he actually met a pair of sons and daughters who were also running away. At that time, her daughter Liu Luyuan was eleven years old and Liu Ying was four years old. This surprised and delighted Liu Bang, but he soon got bored.
The son did not know Liu Bang at all, and he cried incessantly. Liu Luyuan was also shocked and afraid, constantly unwinding, resulting in a very slow trip, Liu Bang angrily pushed the child off the carriage, and later after Xiahou Bao returned several times, he barely escaped with the child. Therefore, Liu Luyuan's childhood is a girl who grew up in the countryside, no different from the peasant daughter at the bottom. Later, he fled with his father to Fengyi to end his miserable life.
But fate would joke, the father was there, the mother who was dependent on each other was gone, when Lü Yan and Lü Taigong were taken hostage by Xiang Yu, and Lü Yan stayed with Xiang Yu for three more years. In this way, Lu Yuan and his brother depended on each other and grew up without their mother. In ancient times, you could marry at the age of 14. However, as the only daughter, Liu Bang will not be so sloppy. Later, he took a fancy to King Zhao, the son of the founding hero Zhang Er, Zhang Ao, Zhang Ao, as the second generation of heterosexual kings, Liu Bang promised Lu Yuan to marry him, and there must be consideration for surveillance. Since the in-laws were determined, Liu Luyuan's fate still has some small episodes. After the end of the Chu-Han war, Liu Bang had the heart to deal with external troubles, and the Xiongnu in the north were already very powerful at that time. Due to the unreliable information received, Liu Bang believed that the Xiongnu soldiers were weak and confident, and as a result, they were trapped by the Xiongnu and besieged at Baishan Mountain for seven days and seven nights. Later, at chen ping's suggestion, he bribed Shan Yu's favorite concubine Fu Shi with jewelry before returning to Pingcheng. Pass through Handan on the way back to the south. As a future son-in-law, Zhang Ao led close staff, senior generals, and nearly a thousand cavalry and infantry to greet him in the suburbs early, waiting in the cold wind for more than two hours before waiting for Liu Bang. The hospitality of Liu Bang can be thought of with his toes, and he must be extra attentive and careful to serve.
Liu Bang was trapped under the siege of Baideng for seven days, and his mood itself was not happy. The stomach full of resentment just caught a punching bag. The warm treatment of the son-in-law was not appreciated at all, but instead scolded and grinned, and after a bad temper, he continued to leave for the south. Zhang Ao did not feel it, but Zhao Guoxiang was consistently tall, could not stand Liu Bang's arrogance and rudeness, and vowed to kill Liu Bang to give his master a blow.
Later, the Xiongnu invaded the border again, and Liu Bang discussed with Liu Jing, the Marquis of Guannei, how to deal with it. Liu Jing said: "The world has been decided at the beginning, the soldiers have worked hard for a long time, if you re-establish the expedition, it is not easy, it seems that another method should be adopted to deal with the Xiongnu." Liu Bang hurriedly asked what was the strategy? Liu Jing said the word "kiss". Let princess Chang, that is, Liu Luyuan marry Shan Yu, in the future the princess will give birth to a son, become the crown prince, after the death of Mao Dun, the grandson did Shan Yu, the world has done the grandson, dare to fight with the grandfather? This is a long-term strategy for not to fight. Liu Bang thought about it for a while, couldn't make up his mind, returned to the harem to discuss with Lü Yan, lü yan who could agree to this idea, hurriedly knelt down, wept bitterly and asked Liu Bang to take back his life, his daughter had already promised the word King Zhao, His Majesty is the son of heaven, is he going to renege on his word? She would never agree. After all, it was also his own flesh and bones, and Liu Bang was also a little reluctant to do so, so he chose a chambermaid to be crowned a princess and falsely claimed that the eldest princess was married to Shan Yu. Lü Yan was worried that Liu Bang would change his mind, and soon ordered Taishi to choose an auspicious day and marry the eldest princess to Zhang Ao. Since she married King Zhao, of course, she was Queen Zhao.
But this title of Queen of Zhao did not last long, Zhao Wang Zhang Ao had an accident, or the former Zhao Xiangguan high gang and several people wanted to assassinate Liu Bang, Liu Bang stayed in Bairen County, vaguely felt that something was wrong, left overnight, the assassin was next door, that is to say, the assassination attempt was attempted. This incident was later reported to Liu Bang by the Guan Gao family. Liu Bang was furious and issued an edict, bringing Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao, along with Zhao Xiangguangao, Zhao Wu, and others, and sent them to prison. Later, after trial, more than a dozen people were judged by the imperial court to be accomplices, and all of them committed suicide with swords except Guan Gao. Guan Gao confessed to his crime, but he would never involve Zhang Ao. No matter how harshly the lieutenant tortured him to extract a confession, he just refused to change his mouth and firmly admitted that it was his own plot. For the sake of his daughter, Lü Yan also tried to persuade Liu Bang: "Zhang Ao is Yuanyuan's husband, and there should be no motive for rebellion." Liu Bang said angrily, "If he becomes emperor, what else will happen to your daughter?" Later, Ting Wei really did not find out, so Liu Bang was also touched by Guan Gao's righteous deeds, so he released him, and Zhang Ao was rehabilitated and released from prison. However, after this incident, King Zhao could not do it, and King Zhao gave Liu Bang's son Liu Ruyi, and Zhang Ao was demoted to marquis of Xuanping. Later, Liu Bang died, Lü Hou dictatorship, Lu Yuan's life was really comfortable, and once did a period of time as empress dowager of Qi, or was invited by the eldest brother Liu Fei, the king of Qi, when Liu Fei rushed to Chang'an to go to the family banquet, the result was Lü Yan's house arrest, no way, only to make a fuss about his sister, Lu Yuan is Lü Yuan's heart meat. On the one hand, he honored his sister as empress dowager qi, and gave him chengyang county, the fattest county in the state of Qi, to his sister, which made Lü Yan very happy, and only then let him return to the country of Qi.
After Zhang Ao's death, Lü Hou made his grandson Zhang Yan the Prince of Luyuan. In addition, in order for the Zhang family to become more prominent, at the same time, zhang shou, the two sons born to Zhang Ao's other concubines, were made the Marquis of Lechang, and Zhang Luxury was made the Marquis of Xindu. In order for his daughter to enjoy eternal wealth, Lü Yan actually disregarded human morality and married his granddaughter Zhang Yan to his son as his queen. Uncle marrying niece sounds ridiculous, and Lu Lu can also make it. The history books do not record Lu Yuan's feelings, it is estimated that the heart is also uncomfortable, the daughter Zhang Yan was only 11 years old at the time, but Princess Lu Yuan, like her brother, did not dare to resist, only obedient. Lu Lu held a grand wedding for his son and granddaughter. She personally formulated the marriage ceremony. Take out 20,000 taels of gold as a dowry, equivalent to the property of 2,000 medium-sized families. However, her arranged marriage made Emperor Hui very disgusted, and naturally her niece and daughter-in-law also deliberately snubbed, making this young girl very aggrieved. In the first year of Gao Hou (187 BC), Liu Luyuan died and was buried in the northwest of Xianyang County. Her birth age is not recorded, but according to the time when Liu Bang married Lü Yan, Lu Yuan was born in about 217 BC, in fact, her life expectancy is not long, and she lived for more than 30 years. After Lü Hou's death, the ministers led by Zhou Bo eliminated the Lü forces in one fell swoop, and Zhang Yan was also stripped of the title of empress dowager and moved to the North Palace north of Weiyang Palace. Zhang Yan lived in this lonely and lonely place for 17 years and died of illness. She is said to have been a virgin queen until her death. Her fate was not as good as her mother's. Princess Lu Yuan's son Zhang Yan's throne as King of Lu was also revoked, and after Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne, he renamed Zhang Yan the Marquis of Nangong, continuing Zhang's descendants.
This is the life of the first eldest princess of the Western Han Dynasty, the first half of her life was bumpy and sad, and the second half of her life was under the wings of her mother, but the mother's excessive protection made her children have a difficult time.
