The path of "blackening" of a virtuous wife
Liu Bang's concubine Lady Qi suffered a "human" punishment that was not enough to describe one-tenth of it in terms of a terrible death.
This kind of torture is not only physical torture, but also extreme humiliation of personality, is the real survival can not be, can not seek death, its degree of viciousness, even Lü Hou's own son Liu Ying can not see it.
Many people asked, what exactly is the hatred between Lü Hou and Lady Qi? If it was just to compete for favors, Liu Bang died, and Lü Hou directly killed Lady Qi, why bother torturing a person like this?
In fact, the cause of all this must start from Liu Bang, first of all, let's first look at the love and hatred between Liu Bang and Lü Yan.
When Lü Yan married Liu Bang, Liu Bang was not yet Han Gaozu, and at that time Liu Bang was only the pavilion chief of Surabaya Pavilion, although he had the status of a "civil servant", it did not mean that Liu Bang was a good person.
Liu Bang was originally from a mixed background, but he was dismissive of the officials who were competing with others, and Lü Yan's father had a good relationship with the local county magistrate, so many officials deliberately went to lü gong.
Once, the Lü family set up a banquet to congratulate the joy of housewarming, others brought silver money to accompany the gift, but Liu Bang came to eat and drink without money, Lü Yan's mother was very angry after learning about it, and immediately wanted to drive Liu Bang out.
Who knew that at this time, Lü Gong changed his mind after seeing Liu Bang, he saw Liu Bang's extraordinary appearance, and decided that he would definitely make great achievements in the future, so he had to marry his daughter to Liu Bang despite his wife's obstruction.
In this way, Lu Yan, who was only a teenager, married Liu Bang, who was 15 years older than himself.
Lü Yan is actually a very virtuous woman, when she married Liu Bang, she was actually not rich, and Liu Bang was not a self-motivated person, so Lü Yan often ate with him without eating.
Liu Bang was not only unmotivated, but also particularly drunk, so he did not go home every day under the guise of official affairs, and Lü Yan had no living security, so he led the women around him to knit nongsang.
Until later, Liu Bang, because he cheated everywhere to eat and drink, also drank and misplaced on the way to escort the prisoners, so that the prisoners escaped, because they were afraid of being punished, so they simply hid.
At home, Lü Yan not only had to earn money to supplement the family, but also to filial piety to his parents for him, and sometimes got his news, and did not hesitate to travel a long distance to send money and food and drink to her husband.
After this, Lü Yan also gave birth to a pair of children for Liu Bang, namely the later Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan.
In 206 BC, Liu Bang followed Xiang Yu to fight the world and was crowned king of Han, and Lü Yan left Liu Bang alone at home with a pair of children in order to let Liu Bang go to war without distraction.
To be fair, Liu Bang was indeed fortunate to have such a wife. So since Lü Yan was once such a good wife and mother, why did he "blacken" later?
A paragraph from a netizen said it well: "No woman is born a shrew, most of them are forced out by men and life", this sentence is also applicable to women 3,000 years ago.
The reason why Lü Yan later became so depressed was only Liu Bang's debt.
Love enemies become political enemies, and they do not die endlessly
So, let's take a look at the beautiful love story of Liu Bang and Lady Qi.
The encounter between Liu Bang and Lady Qi had to start from the Chu-Han dispute.
In 205 BC, after the Han army took advantage of Xiang Yu's fall into Qi, it captured Pengcheng in one fell swoop, Xiang Yu was furious, and immediately led the army to counterattack, the Han army was defeated, and Liu Bang's family members were all taken away and taken prisoner.
After this, Lü Yan and his children lived in prison for more than 2 years, until after the Chu and Han negotiations, Lü Yan and his family members were released.
At this time, Lü Yan couldn't help but cry, she had been wronged enough in prison, and now that she had finally seen the light of day, the first thing she had to do was to run to Liu Bang and reunite with her husband.
However, Lu Yanwan, who thought she had seen the light again, did not expect that at the moment when she saw her husband who was thinking about her day and night, she was like five thunderbolts.
At this moment, Liu Bang had a little worried look, not only was he not worried, but he also had a beautiful woman around him, which could not be accepted by any woman.
This beautiful lady is the famous Lady Qi.
Lady Qi was a Dingtao of the Qin and Han dynasties, and Liu Bang spent the night at a farmer's house on the way to escape after being defeated by Xiang Yu, and the farmer gave his daughter Xu to Liu Bang, later Lady Qi.
Mrs. Qi looks like a flower, not only has a delicate voice, but also can sing and dance, versatile, whenever Liu Bang is tired, Mrs. Qi can always soothe his anxiety, over time, Mrs. Qi is deeply loved by Liu Bang.
Lü Yan, who had just escaped from birth, saw that Liu Bang already had beautiful people by her side, and her mood could be imagined, how many crimes Lü Yan suffered in prison, how much hatred she carried for Lady Qi.
After Liu Bang achieved great things, although Lü Yan became the first empress in the historical record, Liu Bang was not enthusiastic about her, but could not wait to marry Lady Qi into the palace.
Of course, this hatred alone was not enough to make Lü Hou hate her fiercely, and if you want to say when the two became immortal, it was naturally when they changed from love enemies to political enemies.
Lü Yan's son Liu Ying was benevolent and cowardly, and Liu Bang did not like Liu Ying very much, but had said many times that "Ruyi is like me".
The "Ruyi" in Liu Bang's mouth is Lady Qi's son Liu Ruyi, who loves Wu and Wu for this son, and has wanted to pass the throne to Liu Ruyi many times.
Of course, whether Liu Bang's move was whether Lady Qi blew the pillow wind, or whether it was the way to live for Lady Qi's mother and son after knowing Lü Yan's disposition, we have no way to verify.
However, the only thing that is certain is that Liu Bang's idea was fiercely opposed by the ministers, so it did not succeed, and from then on, Lü Yan regarded Lady Qi, who coveted the throne, as a political mortal enemy in this life.
This is not just a matter of sour and jealousy, as long as Lady Qi has no backer, Lü Yan will definitely put their mother and son to death.
Lady Qi will play for favors again, Liu Bang will also have the day of death sooner or later, as long as Liu Bang dies, Lady Qi will not have half a point of backing, and then it will be called every day should not be, and the earth will not work.
Of course, Liu Bang was not unaware of what kind of person Lü Yan was, and how could he not know that Lady Qi had no good end after his death? Therefore, in his later years, he deliberately left a way back for Lady Qi.
What exactly is a human being?
Liu Bangsi came and went and put Liu Ruyi in the Zhao Kingdom.
Although Liu Ruyi is still young, after a few years of staying up, Liu Ruyi will gain a firm foothold, and the two women will have a real confidence.
Even so, Liu Bang was not at ease, and he also promoted Zhou Chang to Xiangguo, and entrusted Liu Ruyi to Zhou Chang before his death. Zhou Chang is a solid-eyed man, he is upright and has a promise of thousands of dollars.
More importantly, Zhou Chang was once kind to Lü Yan.
Based on this layer of reasons, as long as Zhou Chang was there, Lü Yan would definitely not be able to move Liu Ruyi. Facts have proved that Liu Bang's strategy is still very correct, at least when Liu Ruyi is alive, Lady Qi is not in danger of life.
After Liu Bang's death, his concubines were imprisoned by Lü Yan, and Bo Ji escaped the disaster because she was not favored before, and was sent by Lü Hou to a remote daiguo.
And Lady Qi, whom Lü Yan hated, naturally did not have such a good life, she was imprisoned by Lü Yan in Yong Lane, where Lady Qi did the hardest and most tiring work every day, washing her face with tears all day long.
If Lady Qi was smart enough, she would stay up in Yongxiang for a few years, wait until her son grew up, or survive until Lü Yan died, and she was not without the possibility of seeing the light of day again.
But she didn't work well, she had to die. Mrs. Qi sang while working:
"The son is the king, the mother is the prisoner, and the twilight is always with death!" Three thousand miles apart, who should make a farewell! ”
This song reached Lü Lu's ears, and could not help but make her angry, Liu Ying knew that after her mother was angry, because she was afraid that Lü Lu would assassinate King Zhao, she welcomed Liu Ruyi to the palace and lived and ate with him every day.
Lü Hou had tried to kill Liu Ruyi several times, but he had never found the opportunity.
Finally, one day, Liu Ying went out and heard that Liu Ruyi was still in the palace and did not get up, so she immediately ordered Lux to run to the palace and strangle Liu Ruyi with a rope.
After Liu Ruyi's death, Lü Yan immediately turned her gaze to Lady Qi again, at this time, new hatred and old hatred surged into her heart, and she was eager to peel Lady Qi and cramp.
Of course, for a person like Lü Yan who is both powerful and vicious, just peeling the skin and cramping cannot relieve his hatred.
She ordered Lady Qi to be cut off all her hands and feet, poisoned her with poison, and then wentuged out her eyes, poked through her eardrums, and threw her into the toilet.
In order not to let Lady Qi die, she also specially found a doctor to heal her, to ensure that she could live well, and ordered someone to bring her food every day.
Lü Yan could not be satisfied after making Lady Qi an adult, and also called Liu Ying to watch, Liu Ying asked the attendant next to him, and only then did he know that the person in front of him who was not a ghost was Lady Qi.
Liu Ying cried at Lady Qi, and since then she has been frightened and sick, and no longer governs the government.
He sent someone to tell Lü Yan: "This is not something that people can do, I, as the son of the empress dowager, cannot govern the world", and liu Ying has been depressed and bedridden ever since.
To this day, if you look at Lü Hou objectively, her political achievements are undeniable, but at the same time, her vicious behavior is well known.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Lady Qi got such a sad end, but because she was too naïve and simple in her political views, she only thought that she would become a winner after successfully competing for favors, and she did not know that Lü Yan had already controlled the power of life and death.
Most people in later generations cried out for Lady Qi, but there were also a few people who stood in Lü Yan's point of view and believed that everything was Done by Lady Qi herself.
So do you think that Lady Qi deserves it, or is Lü Yan too vicious?
