Yan Zhao Gu said that many people who sighed and sang sadly.
Since the Warring States period, the State of Zhao has become the land of four wars because of its unique geographical location. Frequent wars have cast the bloodiness of the Zhao people, from the Warring States onwards, whether it is the end of the Qin Dynasty or the Han-Hungarian struggle, Zhao Di can not stand alone, has become a place where soldiers must fight, and the Zhao people seem to never be afraid of war, so Gao Zu built this place into a strategic place, and the chief who rushed to Zhao Land must be deeply trusted.
Zhao Di was at the forefront of the Han-Hungarian confrontation
After Gaozu's death, his successor Liu Ying, the Emperor Hui of Han, also died young after seven years on the throne, causing the government to fall into the hands of Lü Hou, as a witness who had struggled side by side with Gao Zu for many years, Lü Hou also knew the key to the strategic position of Zhao Di, so he successively let three of Gao Zu's own sons garrison here, but unfortunately all three of them died for various reasons, and going to Zhao To take office is also a death game for Liu's descendants.
The death of Liu Ruyi kicked off the game of death
Liu Ruyi, the Acting King, was the first victim of Zhao Di's game of death. Since the ancient Zhao Dynasty did not divide the family, because the Xiongnu forces were closer to the north, the Daidi in the north of the Zhao Dynasty also became the first line of defense against the Xiongnu, and the elite troops of the Zhao Kingdom, Guanzhong, and Bashu were all gathered here, and when Gao Zu was alive, he let Liu Ruyi stay here to command the army.
Lady Qi died tragically
Liu Ruyi was born to Lady Qi and Gao Zu, who was deeply favored by Gao Zu, and she also took the opportunity to ask Gao Zu Yi Chu, and the endless pillow risk made Gao Zu agree with her opinion:
Shang wanted to depose the crown prince, and Li Qi's wife,Zhao Wang Ruyi.
In the end, thanks to Zhang Liang's intervention, together with Zhou Chang and other ministers, they knew that they were affectionate and rational, and even used some extraordinary means to barely keep Liu Ying's position as crown prince.
Because of this, the depth of Lü Hou's resentment toward Lady Qi was unimaginable, and his son Liu Ruyi naturally became the object of liquidation after Lü Hou came to power.

Shortly after Gaozu's death, Lü Hou reduced Lady Qi to a slave and summoned Liu Ruyi to Chang'an, and although Liu Ruyi held military power, his birth mother fell into Lü Hou's hands, and he naturally did not dare to make a mistake and could only go to Chang'an alone. After arriving in Chang'an, Liu Ying still had deep feelings for this brother, hoping to save his life, but he underestimated Lü Hou's determination. After successfully controlling Lady Qi's mother and son, Lü Hou brutally killed the two,
It is undeniable that the hatred between Lady Qi and Lü Hou is difficult to resolve, but Lü Hou forcibly killed Liu Ruyi, who was not at fault, while Gao Zu's corpse was not cold, this unjustified zhulian behavior still greatly hurt the feelings of the members of the Liu clan, but because of her current position, Liu Liu temporarily hid it.
Liu You was suspected of plotting rebellion and was brutally killed by Lü Hou
Liu Ruyi's death brought strong stimulation to Emperor Hui's Liu Ying, and also laid the root of his illness for him, and a few years later, Emperor Hui died prematurely due to illness, and the rapid arrival of cause and effect caught Lü Hou by surprise.
The grief of Lü Hou's middle-aged loss of her son was temporarily aside, and the political strongman soon realized that Lü had lost an important spokesperson in the court, so she had to personally go into battle to reconstruct the power framework of the Lü clan.
In order to appease Zhao Di's elite generals, Lü Hou made Liu You, the sixth son of Gaozu, the King of Zhao, and asked him to go to Zhao Di to take up his post, and in order to show his attitude, Lü Hou married a daughter of lü shi to him as a wife, which was a naked means of restraint:
The empress dowager summoned King You of Zhao, and you took Zhu Lü's daughter as her empress.
Liu You, who starved to death
However, Liu You, who grew up in a superior and carefree environment, obviously did not like to be constrained by this kind, and it may also be that his political marriage object really did not understand the style, Liu You did not take care of the main room after marriage, but pampered other concubines. So the palace falsely accused Liu You of opposing Lü, and Lü Hou starved him to death in anger.
In fact, Lü Hou was not a person without reason, and her hand really had the act of killing the crown prince Liwei, but this method brought great resistance to the Liu clique.
If it comes to anti-Lü, no elder of the Liu clan is worse than Liu You, and Liu You is cursed, which makes it clear that it is Li Wei. Moreover, Lü Hou did not have the actual evidence of Liu You's rebellion at all, but only listened to the words of the younger generations of the clan and dared to convict the imperial relatives, so the other members of the Liu clan had no status.
It was also after this incident that dissatisfaction began to spread rapidly among the Liu clan relatives who had previously drunkenly and dreamed of death, and some intelligent people began to re-examine the threat of the Lü clan to themselves.
Liu Hui was deeply trusted by Lü Hou but committed suicide for love
After supporting Liu You unsuccessfully, Lü Hou was not willing to fail, and made Gaozu's fifth son Liu Hui the King of Zhao, and ordered him to take office.
Although this appointment was understandable, it secretly aroused a huge repercussion, and all the forces in the court were closely watching Lü Hou, wanting to see what means she could use to restrict Liu Hui this time.
Sure enough, Lü Hou once again sent a girl from the Lü family to marry Liu Hui. This girl learned the lesson of the last Liu You incident and directly poisoned Liu Hui's concubine, intending to gain grace alone.
Just when this Lü girl was proud of the success of her plan, Liu Hui directly showed the side of his grandfathers, and he directly martyred and went underground to find his beloved woman.
Liu Hui committed suicide
The successive changes almost made Lü Hou crazy, and she sprinkled an evil fire on Liu Hui's descendants and used an executive order to cancel the aristocratic status of this line, but this move directly aroused the fierce anger of the Liu clique.
Liu Hui is different from Liu You, Liu You has a false accusation of rebellion, and Liu Hui just made his own life choices, just like his brothers, resulting in the involvement of the clan.
At this point, even the most stupid people in the Liu Group can see that together with you, the Lü clan is changing the method to clean up our Liu clan disciples. At the time of the Liu You incident, some people still suspected that he had the intention of rebellion, and as a result, as soon as the Liu Hui incident came out, Lü Hou's purpose of wooing Liu Shi for his own use could not be covered. What's more serious is that just because of the failure of cooperation, you brutally killed Gao Zu's two biological sons, and even the blood behind them was implicated, so how can the safety of the lives of the rest of the Liu clan be guaranteed?
Under this naked threat, the strongest of the Liu clan finally began to plan actions.
Lü Hou had planned to get close to Liu Bang's other sons
In fact, Lü Hou's idea is very easy to understand, she knows that Zhu Lü is actually deficient to a large extent in terms of legal basis and comprehensive strength, after all, this world was laid down by Liu Bang, and even the uncultured people understand that the emperor's surname is Liu and not Lü, but since he has stepped out of the footsteps of Pushing Lü Dai Liu, then he has lost the way of retreat and must be implemented.
Therefore, Lü Hou hoped to win over Liu's moderates and let Liu Lü form political alliances through political marriages, so that even after the rise of these moderate Liu disciples, even if they became emperors, their descendants would still have lü's bloodline and would not turn their faces with Lü.
Unfortunately, although the two young ladies of the Lü clan were young and beautiful, they did not like Liu Hui and Liu You, so they put their personal feelings above the interests of the clan (which also exposed the problem that the Lü generation was inferior to the generation), and finally ruined Lü Hou's elaborate arrangements, and Liu Lü's game also entered a climax.
