The struggle between Lü Hou and Lady Qi was not just a simple harem fight, because the pursuit of the two was actually different, Lady Qi's "King of Israel" was a position struggle in the harem, but Lü Hou's pattern was far more than this, she paid more attention to the power overlap of the entire Han Dynasty.
Lady Qi's jealous provocation of Lü Hou was actually not in her eyes, but Lady Qi moved her mind to the succession to the throne, and she hoped that Liu Bang would abolish Chang Li and be young, which was something that Lü Hou could not tolerate. Under Lü Hou's increasingly planning, the prince's wings became more and more plump, Liu Bang finally did not change the crown prince, after Liu Bang's death, Lü Yan successfully took power, so he made Lady Qi a "human yan", and when Lü Yan attacked Lady Qi, Qi's father had a heavy army in his hands and did not save his daughter, what was the reason for this?
Liu Bang's two women
Lü Yan was originally a wealthy family, liu bang was still the chief of the pavilion was favored by Lü Father, thinking that this person had the appearance of an emperor, so he gave his daughter Xu to him, Lü Yan in his early years can be said to be quite virtuous, for Liu Bang had a son and a daughter, that is, the later Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan, who also did not abandon Liu Bang during the uprising, followed Liu Bang upside down and fled, nine deaths.
After Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu, he fled in a carriage with his family, and in order to escape smoothly, Liu Bang kicked Lü Yan off the carriage and fled by himself, which led to Lü Zhi being captured by Xiang Yu. However, Xiang Yu soon found that Liu Bang was cruel and Lü Yan was not enough to threaten her, so he did not execute Lü Yan, but only temporarily imprisoned.
Three years later, Lü Yan was rescued and returned to Liu Bang, but at this time Liu Bang was wandering back to the place of a spoiled lady Ji Qi who could sing and dance.
Liu Bang's practice of spoiling his concubines and destroying his wife inevitably caused Lü Hou to resent, and he was imprisoned outside for three years and suffered a lot, while Liu Bang was beautiful and lived a happy life. This also laid the groundwork for Lü Yan's hatred of Lady Qi in the future. However, just because of the jealousy of the wind, Lü Yan would not do this to Lady Qi, but Lady Qi moved to The bottom line of Lü Yan.
The dispute over the crown prince angered Lü Yan
Lady Qi was deeply favored, and Liu Bang took her with her when marching and fighting, while Lü Hou was guarding in the rear, and gradually, Lady Qi was no longer satisfied with being only Liu Bang's favorite concubine, but wanted her son Liu Ruyi to be crown prince.
Liu Bang was also blown by the pillow wind day by day, and he actually moved to abolish Liu Ying's mind, he felt that Liu Ying was weak in nature, and the son "Ruyi" born to Qi was more like him, and Liu Bang knew Lü Yan's personality, and it was expected that if she took power in the Qi clan, there would be no good end.
Just when Liu Bang was injured on the battlefield, he deeply felt that his life was imminent, so the idea of abolishing Chang Li was even more obvious. However, due to the opposition of the ministers, Liu Bang has not found a suitable opportunity, And Lü Yan began to secretly plan, and the prince's wings became fuller and fuller, and finally Liu Bang failed to change the crown prince in the end. However, he gave Liu Ruyi the title of "King of Zhao", chose a wealthy fief, and sent Lü Yan's party to be assisted by a minister who was in awe. I hope to save Mrs. Qi's mother and son.
Forever lane song, finally adult
After Lü Yan took power, he imprisoned Liu Bang's concubines, and Lady Qi was even relegated to Yongxiang as a slave, doing daily work of scooping rice. Perhaps looking at her son or the King of Zhao, Lady Qi was not at peace in Yongxiang and made a "Song of Lady Qi", which has an important position in the later history of literature. This song expresses Lady Qi's grievances like a cry, but it does not reach the fiefdom of King Zhao thousands of miles away.
And the King of Zhao is also difficult to protect himself, did not escape the persecution of Lü Yan, after the death of the King of Zhao, because Lady Qi was provocative in Yongxiang, Lü Yan ordered people to cut off Lady Qi's hands and feet, goug out the eyes, cut the ears, drink dumb medicine, and lock them in the pigsty, called Ren Yan.
Lady Qi would only exchange beauty and weakness for Liu Bang's support, but Lü Hou exchanged her wisdom and means for the support of courtiers, and this game foreshadowed from the beginning that Lady Qi would not have a good end, because Lady Qi was far from the same pattern as Lü Yan.
And her later actions were even more stupid, Lü Yan would not necessarily attack King Zhao, because her power was already secure, and "Lady Qi Song" clearly pointed out that she wanted King Zhao to avenge her mother, which made Lü Yan how could she spare their mother and son!
Holding the military power, the women are protected by glory
Lady Qi's father, Qi Gill, was the founding general of the Western Han Dynasty, who followed Liu Bang in the Southern Expedition to the North when Liu Bang fought the world, and made many military achievements, and later because Lady Qi was favored, the status of the Qi clan was even higher, and Qi Gills were military generals, and when Lady Qi died, Qi Gills held the most elite army in the Western Han Dynasty, so why didn't Qi Gill, who held the military power, send troops to save his daughter?
Because Qi Gill knew that the Northern Army in his hand against Lü Lu was tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble, and even if he successfully rescued his daughter, how could Lü Lu let him go, before Lü Lu had killed many courtiers Li Wei, Qi Gill knew that Lü Lu was fierce in his heart, and he could be crowned marquis of the fief, entirely because Lady Qi was favored, and his status was dependent on Liu Bang.
Now that Liu Bang is dead, and Lady Qi has offended Lü Hou, it is very likely that the life of Qi's pawn will be taken into it, regardless of whether she can succeed in saving the daughter at this time. Not to rescue his daughter, it is Qi Gill who is expressing his attitude to Lü Lu, he has no intention of confronting Lü Lu, but abandoning a woman can temporarily save future generations, qi gills will of course do this.
brief summary
Lü Yan was the first female politician after the Qin King swept Liuhe, she never cared about the affairs of the wind and moon, nor did she care about competing with a number of concubines for jealousy, her ambition was in the court, and she had wisdom, knew how to operate, and knew how to govern the country, Lady Qi only knew how to use her beauty to rely on Liu Bang, in a vain attempt to humiliate the empress with a momentary momentum, and wanted to gain a foothold in the court, but she had no wisdom, only knew that Israel was a servant. She was destined not to be Lu Lu's opponent.
Qi Gills held the military power, but in order to preserve the glory of the family, not to save his daughter, Qi Father did not hesitate to choose the latter between saving his daughter and offending Lü Hou and abandoning his daughter to save his descendants, because as long as he saved his daughter, Lü Yan would definitely get rid of him, and the military power in his hands was not enough to compete with Lü Yan, but if he was safe and self-contained, Lü Yan found that he had no intention of rebellion, and he could not easily kill him, after all, he was already a marquis at that time. Therefore, in the face of the fate of the whole clan, a Qi clan daughter is not so important.
This shows that most of the women of the feudal dynasty had to sacrifice for the benefit of the family, and they were often used as tools for political marriage. Without his own freedom, not only that, even a politician like Lü Hou, even if he did so many things to benefit the country and the people, in the end he was still unjustified because he was a woman.
