In ancient times, there was an old saying called "the most poisonous woman's heart", many people may not know where this sentence came from, and in ancient times, there was such a woman, she was written by Sima Qian in the "History", and she was also the only female emperor of the generation who was included in the history of history. Before the Han Dynasty, there was never a woman who was in charge of the imperial gang alone, and she did not let her eyebrows be shaved, which influenced the history of the early Han Dynasty. In the eyes of most people, she always appeared in the eyes of the world as a cold-blooded and cruel side, but no one really understood why she became a cold-blooded politician and why she had the title of the world's first poisonous woman. She was Lü Lu, the empress of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu.
Lu Lu plays the role
What kind of person is Lu Yan?
Lü Yan was born in the Noble Lü clan of the State of Qi, she not only had a beautiful posture, but also intelligence and knowledge, was a very scheming woman, and had innate political talent. This was vividly reflected in her life. Although her aristocratic status no longer existed, due to the relatively peaceful demise of the country and the better family situation, there was no blow to her life, until she fled to Pei County because of fleeing from the enemy family, and Lü Yan's life also changed dramatically.
Why did Lü Yan marry Liu Bang?
Lü Lu's father Lü Gong and the local Pei County Ling's relationship is very good, the Lü family also turned to the county order, when they sent people to the fence, the county order found that Lü Yan's beauty was combined, so he moved the heart of marriage, once again at the banquet, Lü Gong admired Liu Bang's temperament, and also agreed to let his daughter Lü Yan marry Liu Bang, the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion, And Lü Gong saw that Liu Bang was a talent, so he happily agreed.
At the suggestion of Lü Gong, Lü Yan married a man who was more than ten years older than himself and had a bad reputation outside, and for the survival of the family, Lü Yan had to accept it. After getting married, Lü Yan always fulfilled his obligation to be a wife without a word of complaint. Not only did he have children, take good care of his in-laws, and also take care of housework, but Liu Bang was not like this, he still couldn't change his bad habits, he didn't go home all day, he drank and had fun with his friends, and he did something wrong. When Liu Bang was young, he was a well-known local gangster. But Lü Gong knew the art of facial appearance, and he could see that Liu Bang must be very rich and noble in the future.

At this time, Liu Bang actually already had a son named Liu Fei. Lü Yan also took good care of Liu Fei, who was not his own child, and patiently raised him, and in our opinion, it was not easy for Lü Yan to accept such a husband who was not in the right household.
Liu Bang's career success can be said to be inseparable from Lü Lu, not only his wife, but also his partner in the cause, Lü Lu is Liu Bang's right-hand man in the cause. As the saying goes, behind every successful man, there is a woman who supports him.
Liu Bang claimed that what happened to the empress dowager lü lu?
It is said that Lü Yan's methods are extremely cruel, and he has also been crowned as the "world's first poison".
Perhaps it was the harsh environment and hardships of the early years that led to the originally kind Lü Yan acting decisively and with a resolute personality, thus ascending to the peak throne in the power struggle.
During the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Xiang Yu defeated Liu Bang, and also captured Lü Yan and Liu Bang's father, and served as a hostage for three years, during this difficult period, Lü Yan could be said to have taken good care of his father-in-law, and could be called virtuous and virtuous, and when Lü Yan, who had worked hard to serve the father-in-law, returned to Liu Bang's side again, he found that Liu Bang had one more Qi clan around him, saying that the empress dowager was also crowned Lady Qi, quite favored by Liu Bang, Lü Yan was very unhappy in her heart, she preferred Liu Bang to spoil her alone, and she was extremely disappointed in Liu Bang. Therefore, Lü Yan, who had ascended to the back seat, began to plan.
Lady Qi was not satisfied after receiving Liu Bang's favor, and it is said that she cried and cried for Liu Bang day and night, in order to make her son Liu Ruyi the Prince of Zhao the crown prince, and also chewed the root of her tongue in Liu Bang's ear for many years, saying that Lü Yan's son Liu Ying had a weaker personality, while Liu Ruyi was more decisive than Liu Bang's demeanor. Liu Bang also listened to Lady Qi's rumors and deliberately wanted to depose Liu Ying and make Liu Ruyi the crown prince. In order to keep his son's position as crown prince, Lü Hou did not care about his own identity to ask his ministers to help him maneuver Liu Bang and hold back time. He also invited the famous shangshan Sihao at that time to be the master of the prince. Liu Bang had admired Shangshan Sihao for a long time, and in the early days he could not invite them out of the mountain, but after being persuaded by Shangshan Sihao and his ministers to stop it, Liu Bang also recognized the ability of the prince and dispelled his thoughts.
Lü Hou was particularly calm and mature in the face of the deposed prince, and skillfully used tactics to regain the position of prince, and Lady Qi's approach was even more stupid.
What did Lu Lu, who was known as the "world's first poisonous woman", do?
After the matter of competing for the position of crown prince, Lady Qi also completely annoyed Empress Lü. In the thirteenth year of Han, after Liu Bang's death, Lady Qi, who had no patron, was imprisoned in Yongxiang by Lü Hou, and Lü Yan's hatred for her also broke out, first recalling her son Ruyi to the capital to prepare for killing, and his son Emperor Hui of Han saw his mother's intentions and secretly protected Ruyi the King of Zhao. Although protected by Emperor Hui of Han, Jiang was still old and spicy, and Lü Hou took advantage of Emperor Huidi of Han's inattention to poison King Zhao. As soon as King Zhao died, Lü Hou moved his hands to Lady Qi, wentuged out his eyes, cut off his hands and feet, threw them into the pigsty and drank poison for her, and named her "Ren Yan zhì". Lü Yan even asked Emperor Hui of Han to come to observe, and When Emperor Hui of Han saw that this person did not look like a ghost, Lady Yanqi, he could not afford to fall ill and no longer pay attention to the affairs of the dynasty, and soon died young.
Lü Hou's behavior was really to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to vent the resentment in his heart and truly hold political power.
In order to establish her prestige politically, Lü Hou also began to kill the heroes, according to historical records, when Liu Bang was unified, he was only addicted to beauty every day, and Lü Hou's mind was exceptionally sober, in order to gain a firm foothold in the DPRK, she slaughtered the heroes of all the dynasties to avoid endless troubles.
Lü Hou's first knife pointed at Han Xin.
Why did Lü Hou have to kill Han Xin?
Han Xin's ability can be said to be superior, and it is very strong, And Lü Hou can't control it at all, it has become a factor of instability, and it has no value for reunification.
A person who cannot be controlled by those in power must not be retained, and who knows if Han Xin will rebel one day. And Lü Hou was extremely decisive and ruthless in his work, there was no compassion for Han Xin, and only between men did he talk about brotherly feelings, and lü Hou and Han Xin naturally did not have these.
At that time, Han Xin's army could be said to have reached 200,000 or 300,000, and when Lü Yan learned that Han Xin was going to rebel and fled, he negotiated with Xiao He to bring Han Xin into the palace and kill him.
Lü Yan was a politician, skilled in power and scheming, and could be said to be fierce and a master of conspiracy, while Han Xin was only a general, only knew how to fight, and did not understand politics at all, and many generals in history died at the hands of politicians.
Lü Yan's methods may be cruel, but he is indeed excellent in governing, and Lü Hou not only stabilized the political situation, but also steadily increased the national strength, laying the foundation for the subsequent rule of Wenjing, which is why Sima Qian wrote Lü Yan into the historical record.
