In 196 BC, The Han Emperor Liu Bang fell seriously ill. Lady Qi accompanied her son Liu Ruyi day and night. Liu Bang said, "Madam, you can rest assured, I will not let the useless Liu Ying be on Ruyi." Lady Qi was very happy, thinking that Liu Ruyi's crown prince had stabilized.
The following year, Liu Bang was unable to see it, but Liu Ruyi's position as crown prince eventually collapsed due to the opposition of his ministers. Lady Qi cried for a day and said to Liu Bang, "The Great King loves Ruyi very much, but once the Great King dies, our mother and son will not be able to be guaranteed..."
Liu Bang naturally knew that if Liu Ruyi could not become the crown prince, Empress Lü would not make the mother and son feel better after her death. Therefore, despite the opposition of the ministers, Liu Bang decided to abolish the crown prince Liu Ying, establish Liu Ruyi on the throne, and set up a banquet in the palace to invite Liu Ying and the ministers.
At the beginning of the banquet, Liu Bang was preparing to announce the abolition of the crown prince, but he saw four old people standing behind Liu Ying. His eyes were wide open! Of course, he knew the four old men. Shang Shan Sihao, at first, asked himself not to move them. Now they were willing to help Liu Ying, and Liu Ying's position as crown prince seemed impossible to be abolished, and Liu Bang had to give up.
After Liu Bang returned to the harem, Lady Qi happily inquired about the results. Liu Bang sighed and said, "I really want to make Ruyi the crown prince, but Liu Ying invited Shangshan Sihao, so it can be seen that the wings are very plump, and I really can't do anything about it." Empress Lu will be your master, and you must obey her. Mrs. Qi cried loudly after hearing this, and seemed to see her ending.
Soon after, Liu Bang died of illness, and the crown prince Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, and his birth mother Lü Shi became the empress dowager. After Lü Hou took the throne, he immediately arrested Lady Qi, shaved off her head, and locked her up in Yongxiang to grind rice.
But Mrs. Qi was reluctant. Mrs. Qi sang all day, hoping that someone would hear her, so that she could tell her son Liu Ruyi to rescue herself. However, things did not develop on the good side, but were first recognized by Empress Lü. She took someone to see Madame Qi and said sternly, "Why are you still staring at your young son?" If so, I'll kill him first, then I'll kill you!"
Later, he sent people to the State of Zhao to summon Liu Ruyi to Chang'an, where he was poisoned and killed. Later, Mrs. Qi was blinded, gave her dumb medicine, cut off her limbs, made a "human hand", and threw her into the pit. Her son, Liu Ying, was even sent to see for herself. Since then, Liu Ying has been ill.
Mrs. Qi suffered such torture, and her son was poisoned to death. The double persecution of body and spirit came, and she soon died. Before her death, she was very reluctant and dissatisfied with Empress Lü. But was Qi Tai's death really caused by Empress Lü? I'm afraid not.
In 206 BC, Liu Bang led an army to conquer Dingtao. As soon as he entered the city, he sent someone to see if there were any beautiful women in the city. Soon after, he replied in his hand: "Master, there is a woman in the local relative's family, who not only has a beautiful life, but also dances very well, and can ask her to serve you." Liu Bang was very happy, and he asked his men to bring them back.
Soon, Qi was brought to Liu Bang. Liu Bang took a look at it, really a beauty, convenient to calculate luck, can take her again, fight the Eastern Crusade, completely ignore Guanzhong's wife, Lü's teeth have been almost broken.
In 205 BC, Lady Qi bore Liu Bang a son. Liu Bang was very happy and named him Ruyi. Since then, Mrs. Qi has also become better and better.
Three years later, Liu Bang declared himself emperor. As the eldest son of lü shi, Liu Ying was naturally appointed crown prince. However, Lady Qi considered herself favored by Liu Bang, and her son Liu Ying was appointed crown prince, so she often asked Liu Bang to appoint Liu Ruyi as crown prince. Liu Bang did not like Liu Ying, coupled with Liu Ruyi's love, so he promised Lady Qi that he would find an opportunity to make Liu Ruyi the Prince.
Liu Bang first proposed a plan to create a prince in the court in 197 BC. The ministers, especially the imperial historian Zhou Chang, immediately objected. Liu Bang had no choice but to give up, so he felt that Zhou Chang was loyal and reliable.
Liu Bang had no way, Empress Lü also knew that her son's identity could not be guaranteed, after thanking Zhou Chang, she quickly asked Zhang Liang's plan, Zhang Liang told her, let Liu Ying go to shangshan Sihao, Empress Lü really invited four old people.
As for Lady Qi, she was anxious for her son to become the crown prince, but she only pinned her hopes on Liu Bang, believing that as long as Liu Bang was the master, the role of others did not need to be considered. Therefore, when Liu Bang gave up because of the opposition of the minister, she had to cry all day.
In 195 BC, Liu Bang was about to come to the end of his life. In order to protect Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi, he once again proposed to abolish Liu Ying and establish Liu Ruyi. Unfortunately, due to the appearance of Shangshan Sihao, he was again opposed and gave up completely.
However, he was always worried about Liu Ruyi and Lady Qi, so he sent his loyal minister Zhou Chang to Liu Ruyi as Xiangguo, hoping to protect Liu Ruyi through Zhou Chang. She also reminded Lady Qi to know Empress Lü and asked her to obey Empress Lü in order to survive.
Unfortunately, Lady Qi did not fully listen to Liu Bang. Lü Hou sent someone to Yongxiang to beat rice, but she still did not want to fail, and pinned her hopes on her son Liu Ruyi, which accelerated Lü Hou's action. Liu Ruyi was poisoned, and Lady Qi's life ended in tragedy. It can be seen from this that the death of Lady Qi was not entirely the work of Empress Lü. She took most of the responsibility herself.
