Liu Heng's empress was Dou Yifang, but in fact, as early as liu Heng's time as the king, he also had a wife. However, the history books do not record the name of the queen, only that she died early. The empress dowager gave birth to four sons for Liu Heng, but all four sons died of illness before Liu Heng ascended the throne, and the history books also do not record their names. This can't help but feel strange, why the history books are secretive about the queen, and why neither the queen nor her son lived until Liu Heng ascended the throne. The truth is likely to be Liu Heng's own automatic hand.
Although daiguo is geographically remote and is a veritable poor country, the king is the king after all, Liu Heng has a rich life in the daiguo, no matter how much it is not even the king's queen and sons can not guarantee food and clothing, so Liu Heng's four sons should not be poor and die. So what other factors would make Liu Heng die of his four sons at once? I am afraid that there is another possibility, that is, to be hidden. It is worth mentioning that Liu Heng did not posthumously honor his queen and four concubines in the future, which is also very strange.
Normally speaking, it should be a person who has ascended to heaven, and even if Liu Heng succeeds the queen as empress, the group of courtiers should have no objections. Even if you don't posthumously crown the empress, you can always posthumously crown the four sons as kings, right? , or give them nicknames, this is the common sense of people. However, Liu Heng did not pursue his wife and son at all, but he was secretive about it, and even let him enter the temple to enjoy it, which was really weird. Could it be that Liu Heng's relationship with his four concubines was extremely incompatible? Then think of it another way, maybe the death of the four sons is inextricably linked to Liu Heng.
There is a detail in the history books that is often overlooked, that is, when Lü Hou was in power, in order to control the Liu family's clan, he began to let a large number of Lü family children marry the Liu family clan, including Liu Zhang, the prince of Qi, who took Lü Lu's daughter, and Liu You, the king of Zhao, also married a daughter of the Lü clan as queen. From this point of view, Liu Heng, the acting king, is also very likely to marry a woman from the Lü family as queen. Later, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping launched a coup d'état to eliminate the Zhulu forces and kill the Lü family.
Zhou Bo and Chen Ping also welcomed Liu Heng as emperor, but if Liu Heng's queen surnamed Lü was still alive, the future queen became an empress, and the Lü family once again became a mother, and I am afraid that it would repeat the mistakes of Empress Lü. Therefore, it is very likely that Liu Heng reached an agreement with Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, so Liu Heng will extend the butcher knife to his wife and four concubines. Of course, it is impossible to directly record that Liu Heng killed his wife and son, so the record is more like hiding them.
One thing is cheaper than Dou Yi room. After Liu Heng's four concubines were killed, Liu Qi became the eldest son. The imperial court wanted Liu Heng to be crown prince, and Liu Heng simply made his eldest son Liu Qi crown prince. And Liu Qi's mother, Dou Yifang, was a mother with a son, and naturally became the empress of the mother's world. The father and son of Emperor Liu Heng of han and Liu Qi, emperor of Han Jing, were both male lords, and the rule of Wenjing that they opened up also became a prosperous world praised by successive dynasties. It's just that the two of them are really too fierce in their political struggle, which is really uncomfortable.
