Living in the Imperial Family, there is a unique innate advantage, but behind the endless glory and wealth, there are always some dangers, after all, the Imperial Family, but not between ordinary people, in the face of all kinds of deceit and intrigue, as long as you are not careful, you may die in Huangquan.
As a little thing in the imperial family, the contradiction between Liu Bang's wife Lü Yan and Lady Qi is well known, Lady Qi was eventually killed by Lü Yan as an adult, cruel to the extreme, so many people are thinking about a problem, Liu Bang obviously knows that Lü Yan is fierce, why not let Lü Yan go to his own funeral?
From Liu Bang's own point of view: Lü Yan will not accompany the funeral
Lü Yan was Liu Bang's wife, thinking that Liu Bang had nothing in Pei County and was still mixed with widows all day long, The twenty-something Miss Qianjin Lü Yan married Liu Bang, who was already in his forties, under the condition that Lü Taigong was the master, so that Liu Bang's life began to improve, with the help of Lü Taigong, Liu Bang met a lot of powerful people, all of which laid the foundation for Liu Bang's later inheritance.
When Liu Bang got married and gave birth to Liu Ying, he often hid in Tibet because of his crimes, and the parents and children and even farm work in the family were all in charge of Lü Yan, who had been pampered since childhood, and later Liu Bang made some achievements, and as a result, Liu Bang left Pei County and went to other places.
Lü Yan had been at home taking care of Liu Bang's children and father Liu Taigong, Liu Bang was spending time in Pengcheng, with Lady Qi you nong and me, completely forgetting the existence of the yellow-faced woman Lü Yan in the family, and when Liu Bang found out one day, he planned to take Lü Yan to Pengcheng to enjoy the blessings, and as a result, in the middle of the road, Liu Bang had just seized Pengcheng, he was attacked by Xiang Yu, and finally collapsed, Lü Yan and Liu Bang's father were captured by Xiang Yu in the rebel army, and the two stayed with Xiang Yu for 2 years and 4 months.
After Liu Bang won the victory, he finally brought Liu Taigong and Lü Yan back, but at this time Liu Bang still cared more about Lady Qi, and treated Lü Yan as if he had the name of husband and wife, but there was no husband and wife love, that is, at these times, Lü Yan burst out his amazing political potential and helped Liu Bang eliminate heroes such as Han Xin.
Liu Bang treated Lü Yan, although there was no love, but at least there was still gratitude, no matter how beautiful and moving Lady Qi was, Liu Bang always had a place for Lü Yan in his heart, and felt ashamed of Lü Yan, plus The son Liu Ying born to Lü Yan was the eldest son of Liu Bang, according to the inheritance system, he was going to inherit Liu Bang's great cause, the mother was expensive, and Liu Bang did not dare to go too far for Lü Yan.
Combined with all the historical background at that time, Lü Yan's identity and status, and Liu Bang's debt to Lü Yan, even if Liu Bang had an opinion on Lü Yan, even if he had understood that Lü Yan was fierce, as a husband, Liu Bang would not want Lü Yan to accompany him to the funeral, and even said that it was unreasonable to say that he wanted to kill Lü Yan.
Liu Bang was able to eventually struggle from nothing to become emperor, of course, he had the ability to distinguish between right and wrong and weigh the pros and cons in his heart, so in this kind of big matter, Liu Bang certainly would not be too partial to Lady Qi, although Liu Bang did have the idea of abolishing Liu Ying's position as prince and establishing Liu Ruyi in his later years, but in the face of reality, Liu Bang soon figured out and gave up this idea, between state affairs and private feelings, Liu Bang is very wise, and will inevitably choose state affairs.
For Lü Yan: benevolence has been exhausted
For Liu Bang, not only is it impossible to kill Lü Yan or let Lü Yan accompany him to the funeral, but he will also feel that he is a little ashamed of Lü Yan, so as to make up for Lü Lu's mother and son in terms of power and materials, and for Lady Qi, Liu Bang is more involved in grace and companionship, as the head of the family, this arrangement is very appropriate.
Since following Liu Bang, Lü Yan has experienced a lot of big winds and waves, and she is also a reasonable person, she understands that Liu Bang is the king of a country, she cannot ask Liu Bang to love himself alone, Liu Bang is a normal phenomenon, Lü Yan can also understand, but Lady Qi did not figure out her position.
Lü Yan faced her husband being snatched by Lady Qi's horizontal knife, which is similar to Lady Qi snatching Liu Bang when Lü Yan was not by Liu Bang's side, for a normal woman, this behavior was originally a little unhappy, but Lü Yan still tried to restrain herself, did not show too much dissatisfaction with Lady Qi, but the identity and measurement of the lord of the harem constantly tolerated Lady Qi.
As a result, Lady Qi intensified, first feeding Liu Bang with her mouth at the banquet, which directly affected Lü Yan's position as the lord of the harem, which was a blatant provocation to Lü Yan, and then Lady Qi tricked Liu Bang into abolishing The Crown Prince Liu Ying and setting up her own son Liu Ruyi as the crown prince, which completely angered Lü Yan and made Lü Lu have to guard against Lady Qi.
Therefore, after Liu Bang's death, Lü Yan locked up Lady Qi in order to prevent Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi from threatening Liu Ying's throne, originally at this time Lü Yan did not want to kill Lady Qi, but Lady Qi herself died again, wrote a poem to satirize Lü Yan, and finally angered Lü Yan, not only making Lady Qi an adult, but also killing the young Liu Ruyi.
Judging from the whole process of Lady Qi being picked up by Lü Yan, to tell the truth, Lü Yan has been regarded as benevolent and righteous, she is forbearing at every step, Lady Qi is pressing step by step, replaced by the rest of the women with smaller measurements, it is estimated that as long as Liu Bang dies, he will quickly kill Lady Qi cruelly, and there is no need for any reason at all.
For Mrs. Qi: innocence is still death
Lady Qi should be regarded as the protagonist of the whole incident, her existence is very special, she has never figured out her role and position from beginning to end, mistakenly thinking that she is the lord of the harem, and not taking Lü Yan in her eyes at all.
In the very beginning, when Lü Yan, the lord of the harem, had returned to Liu Bang from Xiang Yu, Lady Qi should have relented, but at this time, Lady Qi deliberately put wine in her mouth at the banquet, and then fed it to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang fed Lady Qi in the same way.
So didn't Liu Bang know that if he did this, Lady Qi would become the target of everyone? Of course, this is not the case, with Liu Bang's ability to know people and use people's eyes, what is the role of Lady Qi, and what role is Lü Yan, Liu Bang is completely clear, but why should he do this? The only explanation is that Liu Bang only walked the kidneys rather than the heart to Lady Qi.
Another fact is enough to prove this point of view, when Lady Qi proposed to let Liu Bang abolish Liu Ying and make Liu Ruyi the crown prince, Liu Bang only mentioned this matter in a meaningful way, and under the opposition of the chancellor, Liu Bang did not stop it, did Liu Bang not know what consequences this would bring to Lady Qi's mother and son?
Obviously, Liu Bang also knew, but Lady Qi cried twice and hanged herself three times, and she would not listen to Liu Bang's rational analysis at all, in order to perfunctory Lady Qi, Liu Bang could only do this, even if the ending was sad later, Liu Bang did not care, but as long as he had enough affection for Lady Qi, he obviously would not watch Lady Qi die step by step.
Liu Bang was just a scene, and Lady Qi still naively thought how affectionate Liu Bang was for herself, which was both a kind of sadness and a kind of ignorance, and what was worse was that Liu Bang obviously did not care much about herself, and Lady Qi still had to naively fight to die with her relationship with Liu Bang.
This is tantamount to her own lack of strength, and she also has to offend a more powerful enemy, and the end can be imagined, but sadly, Lady Qi not only killed herself in the end, but also implicated her young son Liu Ruyi to death.
epilogue
For Liu Bang, if he wanted to accomplish something, it was impossible for him to end up without a problem, even if he wanted to change to a prince, how could others stop him? Judging from all the facts, Liu Bang was full of guilt for Lü Yan and played a trick on Lady Qi, so that after Liu Bang's death in the end, two women were left to continue to fight, but the end of this drama, from the time Lady Qi followed Liu Bang and continued to die, it was already doomed!
