Review
Since ancient times, it has been said that the red face is a disaster for the water, and the Shang Dynasty has Su Daji, so that the King of Shang is addicted to beauty and ignores the government; the Western Zhou Dynasty has praise, let the King of Zhou You play the princes; in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is Xi Shi, and the King of Wu lost the Country.
The red face was chaotic, the country was overthrown, and he often died a very tragic death.
Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty also hides such a red face, she is recognized as a beautiful woman in Chinese history, not only young and beautiful, but also able to sing and dance.
Especially the Chu dance and the folded sleeve dance, she combines the femininity of classical dance with her own flexibility to the fullest, and is deeply loved by Liu Bang.
However, such a beautiful and beautiful woman did not end up with a good ending, and was finally made into a person who is not a ghost or a ghost.
Wives and concubines are at odds
Liu Bang's favorite concubine, Lady Qi, was not the child of an ordinary person.
In the Han Dynasty", it is written in the "Qi Bo Stele" that she was originally a descendant of the Zhou royal family and was surnamed Ji. Because her grandfather was rewarded and was sealed in Qiyi, she decided to change her surname to a place name.
Her father, Qi Gill, was also a general of the former dynasty, and was later appreciated by Liu Bang and became the Marquis of Yuan.
It can be said that Mrs. Qi is a Miss Qianjin from a famous family, who received a higher education and environment from an early age, which is why her dance skills can be so outstanding, and she is also very proficient in music.
What man wouldn't fall under her pomegranate skirt?
On the other hand, Liu Bang's wife, Lü Yan, her appearance is not outstanding, her family background is far less powerful than Lady Qi, and she does not have a particularly prominent talent, which is obviously not as attractive as Lady Qi in comparison.
Therefore, Liu Bang went out to fight for more than ten years, and all of them were accompanied by Lady Qi. When Liu Bang was tired, he danced for him, played the piano to eliminate fatigue, and accompanied and cared for him for a moment when he was injured.
Of course, Lü Yan is the empress after all, so she must have a big measure, accommodate her husband's preference and snub, in order to show the mother's world.
However, no matter how well it performed on the surface, it still could not resist Lu Yan's fermented vinegar heart. A series of events that happened later inspired Lü Yan's determination to eliminate Lady Qi.
Wind blowing in your ears
At that time, Lü Yan gave birth to a son for Liu Bang, named Liu Ying, Lü Ying was very strong in nature, and Liu Ying was very weak under the influence of his mother, but because he was the son of the empress, he naturally became the prince.
Lady Qi was not to be outdone, and she also gave birth to a crown prince named Liu Ruyi. Liu Bang liked this son very much, and often said that Ruyi was the most similar to his child.
What mother doesn't want to make a good future for her child? Lady Qi's ambitions were great, and she often blew the wind in Liu Bang's ears and cried every day, just so that Ruyi could become the prince.
Where did Liu Bang see that his woman was so miserable every day, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and at the same time, he thought that Liu Ying's character was weak, and indeed it was not as suitable as he wanted, so he planned to change to a prince.
After Lü Yan listened, he was naturally angry, originally he was not as favored as Lady Qi, and now Liu Ying could no longer be the prince, and his future position would not be in jeopardy, and maybe one day Lady Qi would be a blessing on her own head.
At this time, the empress's advantages can be revealed, in front of the civil and military officials, the number of appearances of the empress is naturally more than that of Lady Qi, and the clever Empress Lü often seizes the opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Bang proposed it, he was strongly opposed by the ministers. Zhang Liang also came to propose that he could invite Shangshan Shangshan Sihao to help the crown prince, and these people, without exception, were secretly supporters of the empress.
Liu Bang saw that the ministers were opposed, plus there were four high-ranking people to assist him, and felt that Liu Ying had already established his prestige, so it was not easy to mention it again.
Liu Bang arranged a way to live
In this way, isn't Mrs. Qi who wasted her efforts miserable?
As the culprit of the incident, everyone naturally discovered her hidden ambitions. Some ministers also complained about Lady Qi, believing that it was her demonism that confused the public, which made Liu Bang lose his mind.
However, the most difficult problem is obviously how to deal with the relationship between the empress and Lady Qi, after all, the matter has come to this point, Liang Zi must be married, and Lady Qi's future life will certainly not be so good.
Liu Bang naturally knew the nature of the empress, and in order to protect his favorite concubine, he arranged four ways out for Lady Qi.
He first sent Liu Ruyi to become the Prince of Qiaoyao of the Zhao Kingdom, away from the disputes in the palace. Subsequently, he also ordered his confidant Zhou Chang to assist him. In addition, Liu Bang did not forget to tell the crown prince Liu Ying that he must take good care of Lady Qi's mother and son.
To do all this well, he was also afraid that Lady Qi would do something stupid, and he sang Chu Song for Lady Qi in a serious tone, suggesting that she should not be too anxious, otherwise she would suffer losses in front of the empress.
Later, there were rumors in the palace that Fan Duo wanted to kill Lady Qi's mother and son.
Who is Fan Duo? He was not Lü Yan's brother-in-law, this time there must have been the empress's instructions, Liu Bang did not even find out the truth, and directly executed him.
To know that Fan Duo or Liu Bang's hair is small, this is said to change the face of the practice, is not to do it for the empress to see, warn her not to act rashly.
Hang as high as Haman
Liu Bang was exhausted and tried everything to protect Lady Qi, but Lady Qi did not argue at all, and still acted as a blessing under the eyes of the empress.
She also renamed her palace the Palace of Fish Algae, a word chosen from the Book of Poetry to express the harmonious feelings of the King and Queen of Zhou.
But Lady Qi was not an empress, which was obviously provoking the empress, and Lü Yan's hatred for Lady Qi was naturally increasing.
After Liu Bang's death, the ways out he had carefully arranged still worked, and Lü Yan did not set foot on Liu Ruyi, but also killed Lady Qi, but only imprisoned her.
At this time, Lady Qi was a little smarter, and she also knew that she should not deliberately oppose the empress. But she was so stupid that she wrote such a song, which angered Lu Hou
The son is the king, the mother is the prisoner, and he is always in the twilight, often with death! Three thousand miles away, when whoever makes the confession
Lady Qi sang herself as a poor woman, and said that her son should have been the king, which made Lü Hou how could she not be jealous.
In a fit of rage, Lü Hou recalled Ruyi to poison him to death, cut off Lady Qi's hands and feet, gouge out her eyes, poisoned her voice, and made a human figure and was thrown into a pigsty.
Soon after, Lady Qi died tragically.
brief summary
As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, Mrs. Qi is pampered and proud, loses in stupidity, loses in not knowing how to fight openly and secretly, and competes for power.
Obviously, there were several opportunities to spare her from such an ending, and Liu Bang also removed all obstacles for her before she died, but she did not once realize her mistakes.
