Her son died early, so why didn't Empress Lü even shed tears?

After Emperor Hui's Liu Ying saw the "Ren Yan", he was frightened out of his own mother," and his body became weaker and weaker, and he died after only seven years as emperor, when he was only twenty-four years old. The blow of the old man's widow to a mother is enormous, but when mourning her son, "the empress dowager cries and cannot cry", only the voice has no tears.

Zhang Liang's fifteen-year-old son, Zhang Peijiang, who was now serving as a servant in the palace, said to Xiang Xiang: "The empress dowager only has one son, Emperor Hui, and now that she has passed away, she is not crying sadly, do you know why?" ”

The minister asked, "What is the reason?" Zhang Peijiang said: "The emperor has no adult sons to succeed to the throne, and the empress dowager is afraid that you ministers will unite to rebel." Now go and tell the empress dowager that you should ask the people of the Lü family to command the northern and southern armies, and when they all enter the imperial court and take real power, you ministers will be able to survive this disaster. ”

When The chancellor said these words to Lü Hou, Lü Hou felt relieved, and only then did he not suppress his emotions and cry loudly. After Emperor Hui was buried, the underage crown prince took the throne, and the power of the Lü clique began to accelerate from then on.

As mentioned in the previous part, Liu Bang eliminated the princes with different surnames and crowned all the sons of Liu clan as kings. Now that Lü Hou was in power, it naturally also gave rise to the idea of sealing members of the Lü family as kings.

Therefore, she first brought the Tomb of the Right Chancellor to test her reaction. Wang Ling listened to Lü Hou's thoughts and said with great excitement: "Emperor Xian and the Wenchen warlords beheaded the white horse and made an alliance, not the Liu clan but the king, and the whole world attacked it together." If you want to make the sons of the Lü clan kings, is this not a clear violation of the oath of the alliance? ”

Lü Hou was very upset in his heart, and then he summoned Zuo Xiangchen Chen Ping and Zhou Bo the Marquis of Daihou and asked for their opinions. Chen Ping and Zhou Bo replied: "Emperor Xian pacified the world and made Liu Shi king; now that the empress dowager is in charge of the dynasty, she can naturally also seal Lü Shi as king." ”

After Wang Ling learned of this, he ran to question Chen Ping and Zhou Bo: "When emperor Xiandi took the blood covenant oath, were you not present?" Now that the Emperor is gone, are you so treacherous? Having done such a disgraceful thing, what face will he have to meet the Emperor in the future under the Nine Springs? ”

Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, while comforting Wang Ling, explained to him: "In this situation, even opposition will not be useful. If we say that we are inferior to you if we adhere to principles and argue according to reason, then we are inferior to us in preserving social order and stabilizing the world of Liu. ”

Wang Ling was speechless, and he didn't know what good strategy these two people had, but at present, it seemed that he alone could not stop Lü Shi from being crowned king. Soon after, Lü Hou appointed Wang Ling as the Emperor Taifu and stripped him of his position as a chancellor by means of a bright ascension and a secret surrender, clearing the way for him to make Lü the king.

Soon after, Princess Lu Yuan also died. The only sons and daughters who left her one after another made Lü Hou more intent on seizing power and benefits for the Lü family, and even attempted to subvert the Liu regime.

After sealing his brother, sister, and lü's sons as princes, in order to completely change the world from the surname "Liu" to the surname "Lü", the crazy and cruel Lü Hou planned to attack the Liu royal family.
