Less than a month after Empress Lu's death, Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, raised troops in Qi and issued a document to inform the world: I want to kill those who should not be crowned kings!

The object of the struggle was directly aimed at the Lu family, and it was almost directly named. The White Horse Alliance left by Liu Bang during his lifetime was like waste paper in the fifteen years of Empress Lu's reign. Now that the strongman Empress Lu is gone, there will be smart people who will sacrifice this killer weapon immediately, "If it is not the Liu family but the king, the world will attack it"!

The reason why Liu Xiang dared to take the lead in rebellion was also because he had two good younger brothers who served as internal responses in Chang'an. It is said that Liu Zhang's wife, who is also Lu Lu's daughter, knew that her mother's family was preparing to rebel and told her husband. Liu Zhang passed the news to his eldest brother, and Liu Xiang then raised his troops.

I'm skeptical of this account. In ancient times, marrying a daughter was like water spilled out. If Lu Chan and Lu Lu really want to rebel, how dare they let the daughter who married the Liu family know about such a big matter!

At that time, in Chang'an City, Lu Chan was in charge of the Southern Army, Lu Lu was in charge of the Northern Army, and the two armies guarding the capital were all in charge of the Lu family, and the Lu family wanted to rebel, which can be said to be a matter of minutes. Rebellion is not just lip service, first have a plan, consult with cronies, mobilize troops, deploy tasks, and so on. However, in the history books, it is only mentioned that Liu Zhang's wife is informant, and there is no other supporting evidence to prove that the Lu family wants to rebel. Therefore, the Lu family was the main leader in revenge and was detained as a black pot of rebellion. Modern scholar Lu Simian has researched and believes that there is no conspiracy of the Lu family to cause chaos.

In fact, it is very understandable that the Lu family has no reason to rebel, nor does it have the courage to rebel. The Lü clan held both political and military power in their hands, and they may have worried about their power and glory, but they did not think of replacing the Liu clan as emperor. Judging from the later performance, Lu Chan, Lu Lu and others are full of straw bales, how can they have the ambition to be emperors! To say that they dare to rebel is to exalt them.

Therefore, the Lu family wants to rebel, but it is just a lie created by Liu Zhang and others. Only in this way can the Lu family have more reasons to be attacked. In the final analysis, it is the struggle between the Liu and Lu families over the supreme power.

The Hero Group almost did not hesitate to stand on the side of the royal family surnamed Liu. Due to the strength and selfishness of Empress Lü, the Lü family seriously violated the power boundaries of the meritorious group, Chen Ping became the nominal prime minister, and Zhou Bo, the chief lieutenant, the highest military commander in the country, could not enter the military camp of the Northern Army. Moreover, in the hearts of the ministers, the Liu family is more legitimate and recognized than the Lu family.

Liu Xiang raised troops, and the government and the opposition were shaken. Lü Chan and Lü Lu hid in the capital, not daring to personally lead the troops to suppress the rebellion, they always had to send a general who could suppress the formation, they chose to choose, and chose a person, Yingyin waited for the baby.

Among the founding heroes, the infant irrigation is not outstanding, his advantage is that he lives a long time, and others have withered, so he naturally survives. The body is the capital of the revolution, and it is really not an empty word.

In the fifteen years that Empress Lu was in power, Guan Ying was very low-key, and he didn't even hold any positions, only living by guarding the title and fief of Yingyinhou, and did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with the Lu family. This is not easy to do. The people of the Lu family had a good impression of him, thinking that Guan Ying was inclined to the Lu family's side, at least the centrists, so they were relieved to summon Guan Ying out of the mountains to lead troops to quell the rebellion.

In fact, Guan Ying belongs to the faction of heroes who firmly support Liu.
