History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and his original wife Lü Hou were both famous politicians in history. In the process of liu bang's founding of the country, Lü Hou was captured for two years, and after his return, Liu Bang's side had been given to a young and beautiful Lady Qi, and a son of Liu Bang's favor, Liu Ruyi.
Those who are familiar with history know that Lü Hou hated this Lady Qi to the bone, but Liu Bang loved her very much and wanted to give Liu Ying's position as prince to Liu Ruyi, which was even more a knot in Lü Hou's heart, so Lü Hou and Lady Qi had always been at odds, and even openly plotted to kill Lady Qi.
Lü Hou's behavior was not only that, but without Liu Bang's knowledge, Lü Hou joined forces with Fan Huan to kill Han Xin. As we all know, Han Xin is An ally of Liu Bang, and without Han Xin Liu Bang it would be impossible to obtain the Great Han Jiangshan. Liu Bang was "surprised and delighted" to learn of Han Xin's death, and was surprised that Lü Hou was able to kill Han Xin, it seems that Lü Hou's strength should not be underestimated, and the joy is that Han Xin is finally dead.
Liu Bang realized that Lü Hou's power was getting bigger and bigger, and the Lü clique might also pose a threat to the Han, but why not kill her?
It turned out that Lü Hou married Liu Bang when Liu Bang was still the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, liu Bang at that time had nothing, it can be said that the two people were a troubled couple of entrepreneurs, although Liu Bang was more fond of Lady Qi's son Liu Ruyi, but the crown prince Liu Ying was not at fault.
Throughout his political career, Liu Bang has always maintained a sober mind, and his decision to kill is something that ordinary people cannot underestimate. He knew clearly who was the enemy and who was the friend, and who would pose a greater threat to himself. After analyzing the left and right, No matter how powerful Lü Hou was, whether he was unscrupulous or fierce, in the final analysis, he wanted his son Liu Ying to be emperor, for the sake of the Great Han Dynasty. Looking at the whole situation, although Lü Hou's behavior made Liu Bang shameless, it was not to the point of killing her.
And the biggest threat to their own Jiangshan is definitely the gang of old ministers who initially fought with themselves, they have heavy troops, and their prestige is extremely high, a rebellion, the Han Dynasty may change their surnames. In the end, Liu Bang still did not give a hard hand to Lü Hou.
