In feudal society, the status of women was extremely low, and from the moment of birth, they were labeled as "three from four virtues". For the mother's family, this is a "money-losing commodity", and I would like to marry her off as soon as possible. Once the marriage is completed, it becomes "dirty water that is spilled out.".
Despite this, there are still some women who are pampered because of their outstanding beauty. For the lord of the world, in addition to the country and mountains is a woman, because people have the pursuit of beautiful things, naturally they will have more care and pity for beautiful women.
In life, it is often said that "heroes are sad to be beautiful", and heroes will be concerned in front of beautiful women, making heroes hesitate. Men lose their fighting spirit in front of beautiful women, and have no heart to develop their careers, which eventually leads to the failure of personal fate.
From a psychological point of view, this is called gender temptation, which is the most difficult to resist of thousands of temptations. Throughout the history of the development of human nature, everyone has this "weakness", and they will think about it after encountering it, of course, women's ability to resist temptation is stronger than that of men.
Liu Bangcha in the chaotic world was one of them, and after marrying Lü Yan, he still had Lady Qi in mind. As the Lord of the World, this is just a matter of hand-to-hand. In order to let her concubine live, she was given 4 ways to live, but she never left.
The origin of the two
After the outbreak of the late Qin Uprising, Liu Bang used his personal position as pavilion chief to form a team and began to fight the world. At that time, there was also Xiang Yu who was an official in the dynasty, and the two sides agreed that "whoever enters the customs first will be the king", and Liu Bang took the lead in reaching the destination, but was soon driven out by the latter.
In terms of strength, Liu Bang was much weaker than Xiang Yu, and the two sides were either fleeing for their lives or on the way to escape when they first fought. In Xiang Yu's eyes, Liu Bang was just a younger brother who could be manipulated at any time, and he could not pose any threat to himself at all.
At the Hongmen banquet, Xiang Yu could have eliminated Liu Bang in the name of dancing swords, but he refused. In the later Battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu defeated 560,000 Han troops with 30,000 divisions in half a day, annihilating Liu Bang's main force, which shows how strong Xiang Yu is.
In order to survive, Liu Bang fled in a hurry, and his wife Lü Yan and son were abandoned by him. At this time, Liu Bang had no other luxuries, for him except for the strength of the troops, everything was a burden. Losing his mind, Liu Bang broke into a house, and Lady Qi appeared in front of him.
Hearing the news that Liu Bang was being hunted down, Lady Qi decided to hide him in an empty well, and only after the pursuing soldiers left did Liu Bang climb up again. Liu Bang was confused by Lady Qi's beauty, and Lady Qi's father appreciated this "young man", and the marriage was thus facilitated.
After marrying Liu Bang, Lady Qi was favored by him for more than ten years. As a wife, it is inevitable that she will compete with other concubines for favors. However, Lady Qi's enemies are somewhat special, she and Lü Yan are not a dan position at all, and the final fate is really a bit miserable.
Four ways to live
For such an ending, Liu Bang had already anticipated it. In order to ensure that Lady Qi could die to the greatest extent, he left four ways of life for the latter before his death. Lady Qi never wanted to leave, and was later made into a human figure by Lü Yan.
At that time, Lady Qi gave birth to a child for Liu Bang named Liu Ruyi, which was the object of his concern. Before leaving, Liu Bang said: "Capable people are out of the mountains, the prince's wings are already plump, and Empress Lü will be your master from now on, so you must remember."
The implication is obvious, that is, I hope that Mrs. Qi and Lü Yan can have a good relationship, but she just does not listen and pays the price of her life;
Not only that, Liu Bang also used the power in his hands to seal a piece of land for Liu Ruyi. With a fiefdom, naturally there will be no worries about wealth, although it is not as good as Lü Yan's status, but Lady Qi and her own son can also live a good life.
What does the child know? Mrs. Qi never wanted to leave, and this road of life was still abandoned by her;
In order to ensure the lives of the two, Liu Bang ordered the chancellor Zhou Chang to assist Liu Ruyi. Zhou Chang was the only minister who could contain Lü Yan's power, and looking at this face, he would inevitably let the two have a way to live, but Lady Qi once again refused.
Immersed in the power struggle with the queen all day, can people make you feel better?
In addition, Liu Bang also left a letter for the crown prince Liu Ying, hoping that after he ascended the throne, he could do his best to protect the lives of Lady Qi's mother and son. Liu Ying did it, but after Emperor Hui of Han came to power, this dream was finally shattered.
The fierce-hearted Lü Yan made Lady Qi into a human figure and hung it on the street for the common people to visit, how cruel it was...
Sogu jun said
In the view of Zogu Jun, once entering the imperial palace is as deep as the sea, from this point of view, the harem of feudal history should definitely not be underestimated. Everyone is working hard to gain power, everywhere is the city government, the heart, the slightest carelessness will step into the abyss.
Ten thousand steps back, if Lady Qi could listen to Liu Bang's words, how could she end up in such a miserable end? In the final analysis, it is true in any era that people must be content with their duties and know their destiny, so why should they provoke these misfortunes that do not belong to them?
