#历史开讲 #
I am Lu He, as the first empress of China, I will tell you a truth. The impression that posterity has of me is cruel and unscrupulous. Say that I accuse Han Xin and kill Peng Yue and other founding heroes. It is even crueler to say that I am an adult of Mrs. Qi. Say that I let the dictatorship of foreign Qi almost bury the Han Dynasty. But who understands my suffering as a woman?
I was originally a good and virtuous woman, and when I first met Gaozu Liu Bang, it was when my house held a housewarming celebration. At that time, he was not called Liu Bang, but Liu Ji. At that time, he was penniless, but he wrote a gift of 10,000 copper coins on the gift list, and such villain behavior really made people dare not agree. But my father said that Liu Ji would have a great creation in the future, and insisted that I marry him. I was extremely reluctant in my heart, because Liu Jihe and Liu Fei, a widow in the village, had a son. But since ancient times, the big thing in marriage is the order of parents and the words of matchmakers. In desperation, 20-year-old Fanghua married 35-year-old Liu Ji.
After passing the door, I scrupulously abide by my duty, honor my in-laws, treat Liu kindly, and raise my children. Liu Ji was born to wander, and he did not see anyone for three days. I was alone to support my family. But my efforts did not make Liu Jita his prodigal son turn back. When he escorted the prisoners to build the Great Wall, he let the prisoners escape because of drunkenness. Liu Ji himself embarked on the road of escape. In the past few years, there has been no news from him. And I am in Peixian, maintaining a family without a husband. Support the elderly and educate their children. Until Xiang Yu captured Yangxia and captured me and Liu Ji's father. I learned that he had rebelled with others and rose all the way to the King of Han. I thought I could stay by his side and enjoy prosperity. Who knew that when Xiang Yu was chasing and killing, in order to escape, he did not care about the lives and deaths of me, my children, and my father-in-law. Even so, I didn't blame him, I knew that he did great things, so during the days of Xiang Yu's captivity, I tried to protect my father-in-law and a pair of children. No matter how hard it was, I never gave up. Two and a half years later, Chu Han made peace. I joined him with a large family. Thinking about it, happy days are coming.
Who knew that when he saw me, it was not the joy of reuniting after a long absence. Or ask me "How is it still alive?" I hate my old age." It turned out that in the days when I was a hostage, he had already taken a beautiful concubine. This beautiful concubine is Mrs. Qi. It is false to say that I am not sad in my heart. But for the sake of him naming me, he made my son Liu Ying the prince. I chose to endure. This is normal to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the emperor!
I originally planned to live in peace like this, even if Liu Bang stayed in Mrs. Qi's room night and night, and when he went on the expedition, he only took Mrs. Qi with him. But that Mrs. Qi, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, put your mind on my son Liu Ying. Mrs. Qi plucked Liu Ji to abolish my son Liu Ying's position as crown prince. They made their son Liu Ruyi crown prince. In my dream, I can endure Mrs. Qi bullying me, but I will never allow my son Liu Ying to be hurt. They underestimate a mother too much. Therefore, I facilitated Zhang Liang's conspiracy and asked Shang Shan Sihao to come out of the mountain, which was able to stabilize the court. In more than ten years, I helped Liu Ji eradicate Han Xin, Peng Yue, who could threaten his imperial throne! became Liu Ji's right hand. This is something that Mrs. Qi cannot do by relying on pampering alone. But even so, I still underestimated Liu Ji and doted on Mrs. Qi's heart. When he died, he wanted to replace my son Liu Ying's position as the prince. Only at this time, the dynasty was already stable. Even Liu Ji couldn't touch my wings.
This is the first half of my life, after Gaozu left. You said, let me treat Mrs. Qi's mother and son, I can't wait to eat the flesh and drink its blood. The hatred in Mrs. Qi could not be alleviated by making him an adult. But how unfair fate is to a person! My son Liu Ying saw my behavior, which made him depressed. At this time, I could not give the good rivers and mountains to others, I was fed up with the threats of others, so I came to the imperial court. Because I myself have suffered a lot, I understand folk suffering. So I changed the Han Law, reduced taxes on fields, and built the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies. Encourage book collection, book offerings, and restoration of old classics. Rest with the people, rule without doing anything. It also laid the foundation for the reign of Wenjing in later generations. I think I have some merit. The world says I am cruel, but my book is also gentle and pure. I'm just a sad person shaped by the times. What does my story tell you?
Can't offend women? Or does the right have to be in one's own hands? Or do women still have to develop their own abilities? Or do women still want to be beautiful and pampered by their husbands?
