Lü Hou, the eldest daughter-in-law of the founding tycoon Liu Bang, the first empress in the history of our country, was a fierce god-like existence in the Great Han. Regarding Lü Hou's cruelty, we are familiar with her treatment of "Little Third" Lady Qi. In fact, her cruelty is far more than that. After his son Liu Ying successfully succeeded to the throne, Lü Hou also ascended to the peak of power. She first pulled out all of Mrs. Qi's hair, put an iron ring on her neck, let her wear the prisoner's red coat, and did hard labor every day, working from morning to night, without resting for a moment. This is not the end, I heard that Lady Qi complained and wanted her son Liu Ruyi to save her. Lü Hou issued an edict transferring Liu Ruyi to the imperial palace. Although Liu Ying knew how cruel her old wife was and implemented close protection for Liu Ruyi, she was still secretive, and when Liu Ying went out, Liu Ruyi was killed by Lü Hou. Madame Qi completely lost her backstage and was subjected to inhuman abuse, becoming a classic case in the history of torture in ancient times. Lü Hou cut off Lady Qi's limbs, dug out her eyes, poisoned her ears, and cut off her tongue, making her a human figure, and finally Lady Qi was tortured to death, which was really poisonous.
Lü Hou not only killed Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi, But Liu Bang's children and grandchildren were killed by Lü Hou. Liu Bang had a total of eight sons, the eldest son Liu Fei, who was crowned king of Qi by Liu Bang, and the state of Qi established became the largest princely state in the Western Han Dynasty. After Lü Hou gained power, he invited Liu Fei to a banquet and prepared to get rid of it with poisonous wine, but at that time, Lü Hou's son Liu Ying raised a glass with Liu Fei, and Lü Hou was afraid of accidentally injuring Liu Ying, so he overturned the poisonous wine. After Liu Fei learned of the situation, in order to save his life, he dedicated a large area of land in Chengyang County to Lü Hou, and asked Lü Hou's daughter Princess Lu Yuan to be Tang Muyi, so as to escape the disaster. Liu Bang's third son, Liu Ruyi, as mentioned earlier, was poisoned by Lü Hou. Liu Bang's fifth son, Liu Hui ,in order to effectively control him, forced him to marry Lü Hou's nephew's daughter Lü Shi (劉氏), who was also a ruthless character, and after receiving the true transmission of Lü Hou, he poisoned and killed Liu Hui's favored concubine. Later, Liu Hui died of martyrdom and was deposed by Lü Hou. Liu Bang's sixth son, Liu You, was treated by Empress Lü in the same way as Liu Hui, forcing him to marry a relative of Empress Lü as empress. However, Liu You still favored the other concubines, and later Liu You was imprisoned by Lü Hou, cut off from food, and starved to death. Liu Bang's eighth son, Liu Jian, who died of illness and left a son, was killed by Lü Hou and directly removed the feudal state.
Lü Hou not only attacked Liu Bang's descendants, but also did not spare Liu Bang's heroes, the most famous of which were Han Xin and Peng Yue. Marquis Han Xin of Huaiyin, one of the three masters of the early Han Dynasty, captured Wei, replaced, broken Zhao, Wei Yan, attacked Qi in the east, and destroyed Chu in the south, which can be described as a great achievement in battle. But it was such a hero, after being jealous of Liu Bang and Lü Hou, when Liu Bang felt troublesome, Lü Hou took the initiative to ask For Help, joined forces with Xiao He, tricked Han Xin into Changle Palace, killed him, and destroyed the three tribes. "Letter in, Lü Hou made the samurai bind the letter, and beheaded the Changle Chong Room." Peng Yue died too tragically. Peng Yue also achieved great feats in battle, and together with Han Xin and Yingbu, he was known as the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty. At that time, Peng Yue was falsely accused of rebellion, and Liu Bang, enraged, deposed him as a Shuren and sent him to Qingyi County, Shudi. Coincidentally, when Peng Yue went to Zheng County, he met Lü Hou, and Peng Yue asked Lü Hou for help, thinking that Lü Hou could help him clear his grievances.
However, Wan Wanwan did not expect that Lü Hou not only did not clear his grievances for him, but instead blew Liu Bang's pillow wind and suggested that Liu Bang directly get rid of Peng Yue to avoid future troubles. Then, Lü Hou also bought Peng Yue's protégé and asked him to falsely accuse Peng Yue of rebellion again. Lü Hou used this as an excuse not only to get rid of Peng Yue, but also to destroy his three tribes, and the means were heinous. So Lü Hou ordered his nephew Peng Yue to rebel. Ting Wei Wang Tian opened the game to invite the clan. Shang Nai Ke, Sui Yi Yue Clan, the kingdom divided. "Think about Liu Bang is also pitiful, if you meet a gentle and delicate empress, there may not be a concubine killed, several sons are forced to die, and the heroes will not be liquidated to such a miserable end."
