introduction
The empress dowager then cut off Mrs. Qi's hands and siblings, removed her eyes, burned her ears, drank medicine, and lived in the toilet, and was ordered to be "human". - Sima Qian, "Empress Lü's Ninth Chronicle"
Some people have extreme two-sidedness, and if a person can be extremely tolerant, he may be extremely cruel. Liu Bang's wife, Lü Yan, was such a person. After Liu Bang's death, Lü Hou took sole power. The Xiongnu Shan Yu Mao dun almost destroyed Liu Bang at Baishan Mountain, and after Liu Bang's death, he came to tease his widow. He wrote a marriage proposal letter to Lü Yan, asking Lü Yan, who was lonely and unbearable to die, to marry him as a wife.
Such humiliation originally made Lü Yan furious and prepared to send troops to defeat the Xiongnu, but after listening to the persuasion, he finally decided to give up. If you don't fight, don't fight, But Lü Yan gave Mo Dun a black to heinous reply, saying that his teeth and hair were about to fall out, and he was already an old woman who walked trembling and trembling, her face withered and decayed, and she was not worthy of Mao Dun, or sent some young and beautiful people to serve Shan Yu.
Even if it is necessary to adopt a strategy of showing weakness, it will not be lowered to this point, which can only show that Lü Yan has no bottom line when he endures. Being able to be so stoic, the female will be very scary at first. If Lü Yan's killing of Han Xin was still Liu Bang's intention, then killing Peng Yue was basically Lü Yan's own initiative. Compared with torturing and killing Lady Qi, killing heroes can be regarded as Lü Yan's gentle side.
When Lü Yan attacked Lady Qi, the world saw how cruel a person could be. She cut off Mrs. Qi's limbs, went out her eyes, and made a "human hand" and threw it into the dung pit. It was with this originality of hers that later Wu Zetian and Cixi had the most relieving way to punish their love enemies. If Lü Yan's killing of Lady Qi was just a power game, she would not make Lady Qi a "human being". The jealousy that she had endured in her heart for many years was the root cause of this ancient tragedy.
Literary women challenge the heart machine women
Lü Yan married Liu Bang because of Lü Yan's father's heart. Lü Yan's father was a wealthy businessman with deep official connections, and the first time he met Liu Bang, Liu Bang was still a rogue and the most basic level official, and he was not at all on the same level. However, Lü Yan's father was very city government, unique in understanding, saw Liu Bang's potential, and took the initiative to marry his daughter to Liu Bang.
Lü Yan inherited his father's genes, and his heart was also very deep. In order to protect the hero of liu's surname, Lü Yan used a lot of tricks, and he was more worried than Liu Bang. And Liu Bang's favorite Lady Qi, young and beautiful, can sing and dance, is a typical literary and artistic young woman. After Liu Bang won the world, the feelings suppressed for his career flooded again, and he pampered Lady Qi, gradually snubbing the old and yellow Lü Yan, and even had the intention to depose the crown prince of the son he and Lü Yan had, and let him and Lady Qi's son take his place.
Lady Qi, holding on to Liu Bang's grace, did not take Lü Yan in her eyes. However, the literary nature in her bones made her have no feelings for the power game, allowing Lü Yan to do many activities for the position of prince, in addition to crying for Liu Bang for her son, she could not find any other way to strive to make her son sit on the position of prince, which laid the groundwork for the tragic disaster she encountered in the future.
Lü Yan accompanied Liu Bang all the way from the poor countryside to the peak of power, during which he did not know how many hardships that ordinary people could not endure. But in the end, Liu Bang wanted to kick her away, and even the sons of the two of them would be abandoned by Liu Bang, so you can imagine how much resentment Lü Yan had in his heart.
As soon as Liu Bang died, Lü Yan, who had seized great power, immediately began to vent the jealousy that had accumulated in his heart for many years, locked up Liu Bang's favored concubines, and tried his best to humiliate Lady Qi, who hated her the most. Cut Off Mrs. Qi's amorous hair, put her in shackles, and let her scoop rice as a slave.
The "literature and art" that do not understand forbearance stimulate the resentment of forbearance even more
At this time, Lady Qi was still in a state of "literature and art", imagining that her son who had been crowned king could rescue himself from the sea of suffering. How dangerous the situation of the son who had been discussed was not within her consideration. When scooping rice, I was still in the mood to chant: the son is the king, and the mother is the prisoner! All day long, Bo Twilight is often associated with death! Three thousand miles apart, who should make a farewell!
With Lü Yan's cunning, Lady Qi's son could not stay, and it was more important to get rid of Lady Qi's son than to vent hatred on Lady Qi. It's just that Liu Bang gave Lady Qi's son a powerful fief before his death, and arranged capable people to assist him, and Lü Yan's attack was not very easy. But upon learning of Lady Qi's chanting, Lü Yan couldn't help but speed up his actions and try to recruit Lady Qi's son into Beijing to poison him.
After solving Lady Qi's son, Lü Yan could let go of his hands and feet to vent his anger. How to deal with a harem woman who has no relationship with the Surname Of Liu has nothing to do with the overall situation, there will be no risk of getting out of control, and Lady Qi will eventually end up with a tragic end.
There is also a kind of forbearance called reason
Mrs. Qi's mother's family is actually very powerful. The Qi family was originally a Wang clan, and Qi's father, who had a heavy army in his hands, was the leader of the Northern Janissaries who guarded Gyeonggi, and could have fought for Lady Qi and her son. But from beginning to end, Mrs. Qi's father did not react at all to what happened to Mrs. Qi, as if it had happened to an irrelevant person. Why didn't he come to the rescue of his own daughter?
It seems that Lady Qi's father, Qi Gills, has a lot of power in controlling 50,000 male soldiers, but Lü Yan's maternal brothers and nephews are all given by Lü Lu a strength far beyond Qi Gills, and the famous general Fan Duo is Lü Lu's brother-in-law, and he is dead set on Lü Lu. And Lü Yan's son is the newly enthroned emperor, and taking the lead for his daughter is equivalent to plotting rebellion, which will make the entire family disappear in an instant.
In this situation, Qi Gill could only look at his daughter. The grandson was eliminated by Lü Yan but could not bear it, thus saving his life, and later he could follow Zhou Bo to eliminate Lü Yan's party, which was also considered to be a revenge between his daughter and grandson.
epilogue
Lü Yan's methods of dealing with Lady Qi have made her bear some insults in history, but her light and thin endowments and the abolition of torture have shown a commendable ability to govern. If Liu Bang could be nicer to her, perhaps he would have saved Lady Qi and fulfilled Lü Yan's reputation.
