Lü Yan was the original wife of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, who helped Liu Bang raise children and stabilize the rear area during the period when Liu Bang rebelled against Qin and the Chu-Han War, and Liu Bang was called empress, helping Liu Bang to suppress the king with a different surname and stabilize the Han regime.
After Liu Bang's death, Lü Yan was in a position of great power, mutilating the Liu family and making Lady Qi a "human being", which can be described as fierce and vicious, so how did the kind and virtuous Lü Hou become vicious?
In that year, the young Lü Yan followed his family to avoid the enemy and fled to Liu Bang's Pei County for refuge, and Lü Hou's father, Lü Taigong and Pei County Ling, were good friends, in order to open up the situation of moving into a different place.
A banquet was specially held to invite local celebrities, and in order to hold the banquet smoothly, Xiao He, the director of the office of Pei County, was specially invited to preside over the banquet. Xiao He is also familiar with such a banquet host, he arranges seats according to the number of guests out of the gift, divides the guests' main and secondary, gifts more than a thousand people, you, sit in the VIP area, the gift is not enough for a thousand to sit in the ordinary area.
Liu Bang, who was the governor of the Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County at the time, wanted to attend the banquet after hearing the news, but he also had no money, but it was difficult for us liu Tingchang, Liu Bang still participated, and when he arrived at the banquet, Liu Bang shouted "congratulations ten thousand", Lü Hou's father was very shocked after hearing about this matter, he came out to see Liu Bang, Xiao He prompted Lü Taigong, Liu Bang was a big fool, don't listen to him, but as soon as Lü Taigong saw Liu Bang, he was shocked by his face, and he felt that his face was very blessed, and he must be a rich and noble person in the future, so He quickly invited Liu Bang to the throne and married his daughter, Miss Qianjin, Lü Yan, to Liu Bang.
This family affair was really very inappropriate at that time, because Liu Bang was only a small Surabaya pavilion chief, the family did not have much money, very poor, and the age was much older than Lü Hou, and at this time, the family already had a son.
For Everyone at that time, Liu Bang was not a good husband. She wants to marry an old man who has no social status, is poor in the family, often talks big, and is unreliable.
But this was fate, it was her father's arrangement, and she could not disobey it, so she married Liu Bang. After marriage, Lü Yan was filial to her in-laws, took care of the housework, and later had children, which was very virtuous. According to historical records, Lü Yan was doing farm work in the field one day, and he met a hungry old man, and Lü Yan personally gave his own food and water to this old man, which showed that Lü Yan was very kind at that time.
Later, Liu Bang, the governor of Surabaya Pavilion, escorted liu bang to Xianyang, on the way the servants could not bear the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and fled one after another, Liu Bang could not make a difference, and had to flee, at this time Liu Bang became a fugitive, but Lü Hou still did not abandon Liu Bang, often went to the mountains to deliver food and clothes for Liu Bang who fled, later, the government wanted Liu Bang, could not catch Liu Bang, and arrested Lü Hou in a big prison, and Lü Hou was tortured in a big prison.
During the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought bitterly for four years, and in order to threaten Liu Bang, Xiang Yu sent someone to capture Lü Yan, who was at home, into the Chu military camp as a hostage, and almost lost his life several times.
When Xiang Yu let Lü Yan out, Lü Yan originally wanted to spend a reunion day with Liu Bang, but at this time, Liu Bang had a young and beautiful Lady Qi by his side, and he and Liu Bang were like glue, and they were like glue, and they were shadowy.
At this time, Liu Bang forgot his wife Lü Yan, presumably Lü Yan's heart must be very painful at this time, but what made him even more painful was that at this time, Lady Qi actually proposed to depose the crown prince and let her child Liu Ruyi replace Lü Yan's son, that is, the current crown prince Liu Ying.
Coincidentally, at this time, Liu Bang felt that the current crown prince Liu Ying, that is, his and Lü Yan's son, was too weak and did not look like him at all in personality. And the son liu ruyi born to his beloved Lady Qi, that is, the future King of Zhao, was very similar to him, and at Lady Qi's request, he wanted to make Liu Ruyi the crown prince.
When Lü Hou found out, she was greatly annoyed, and she absolutely could not let Lady Qi succeed in cutting off the back road for her and her son. Lü Yan found Zhang Liang, a strategist who had rarely gone out of the mountains, and invited Shangshan Sihao to help, only to stop Liu Bang's idea of deposing the crown prince Liu Ying.
After Liu Bang's death, the crown prince Liu Ying was weak, and Lü Hou had great power, and the opportunity for revenge came, in fact, at the beginning she did not want to kill Lady Qi, but only imprisoned Lady Qi. But this Lady Qi did not know the convergence in this situation, and made up a song to satirize Lü Hou. In the end, Lü Hou was very angry, so he summoned Lady Qi's son Liu Ruyi back to the capital and poisoned her, cut off Lady Qi's hands and feet, smoked her blind eyes, and made her a human figure.
Moreover, Lü Yan did not stop at nothing, and invited his son Liu Ying, that is, Emperor Hui of Han, who had already succeeded Liu Bang, to watch Lady Qi, who had become a human yan, Liu Ying was originally an honest child, after watching it, he felt that the scene was too miserable, and he was frightened and frightened on the spot, and from then on, he ignored the government and died within a few years.
It is estimated that Lü Hou's viciousness, Liu Bang under the Nine Springs will not think of it. However, what made Liu Bang even more unexpected was that Lü Yan later arbitrarily decided the government and killed Liu Bang's son, and more than half of them were killed by him. Lü Hou even entrusted her mother's family with heavy responsibilities, crowned her brothers and nephews as kings, and set a precedent for the monopoly of foreign relatives.
The environment has created Lü Yan's viciousness, married to a man who has no money, no status, and talks a lot, after marriage, he has been imprisoned, taken hostage, snubbed, and every good day, he has been living in fear, facing too many cold and warm in the world, right and wrong, power struggles, non-human experience, when finally can enjoy happiness, other women robbed their husbands, robbed their sons of the country. It is intolerable and intolerable, not only Lu Yan, but also other women are estimated to be like this!
