The envoy who summoned the king of Zhao went to the state of Zhao

But Zhou Chang, the prime minister of Zhao State, saw through Empress Dowager Lu's thoughts

And he told the messenger

Gaozu entrusted King Zhao to me

Now King Zhao is young

I heard that the Queen Mother has always been dissatisfied with Mrs. Qi

Now I want to call King Zhao back and kill him together

I don't dare to send King Zhao back

What's more, King Zhao is not in good health now

You tell the Queen Mother

He can't go

That's it

The envoy went to the state of Zhao three times

was brought back three times by Zhou Changding

Empress Dowager Lu saw that she had encountered a hard stubble

changed the strategy

Isn't King Zhao in poor health and unable to come?

You, Zhou Chang, are you okay

Then I will summon you Zhou Chang to Beijing

No way

Zhou Chang had no choice but to go to Chang'an

This week, Chang's front foot has just arrived in Chang'an

Empress Dowager Lu sent someone to summon King Zhao again

There is no backer

King Zhao had no choice but to drive to Chang'an obediently

Emperor Hui learns that his brother is coming

He knew that the queen mother was intent on harming this younger brother

I can't bear it

He personally went to Bashang to greet King Zhao

Then he entered the palace with King Zhao

The two eat, live and live together

Empress Dowager Lu wanted to kill King Zhao several times

But I didn't find a chance

One day in 194 BC

Morning

Emperor Hui is going out hunting

I originally wanted King Zhao to go with me

But King Zhao is a child after all

Reluctant to sleep at night

Can't get up in the morning

Emperor Hui didn't wake him up

Wait until after dawn

Emperor Hui returned to the palace

It was found that King Zhao had been given poisoned wine and died

After the death of King Zhao

Empress Dowager Lu still didn't let Mrs. Qi go

She had Mrs. Qi's hands and feet cut off

Gouged out the eyes

Deaf ears

It was also poured with dumb medicine

Then he was thrown into the latrine

Call it a human pig

A few days later

I don't know if this Empress Dowager Lu is too carried away and lacks heart

actually asked Emperor Hui to visit the human pig

After Emperor Hui learned that the inhuman-shaped thing was Mrs. Qi

Frightened, crying bitterly

Since then, he has been ill at all

It took more than a year for this to fall

Emperor Hui really didn't dare to face his mother again

He sent someone to tell Empress Dowager Lu

Something like that

You can't do it alone

I am the son of such a queen mother

There is really no face to govern the country

From now on

Hui Di indulged in wine

Ignore all major national affairs

The body is also getting worse day by day

193 BC

Liu Fei, the king of Qi, entered Beijing to meet the emperor and the empress dowager

This Liu Fei

is the illegitimate child born to Liu Bang before he got married

Later, my father became emperor

The younger brother Liu Ying was made the crown prince

He was named King of Qi

The princes and kings came to Beijing to meet him

Besides, Liu Fei was also brought up by Empress Dowager Lu back then

Therefore, Emperor Hui and the Queen Mother set up a banquet to entertain King Qi

Hui Di thinks so

This King of Qi is his elder brother

Just according to the etiquette of the family

Let the King of Qi sit in the position of the head

This King of Qi is also real

I sat down without prevarication

What I didn't expect was

This move

But it made the Empress Dowager Lu kill

The Queen Mother ordered someone to pour two glasses of poisoned wine and put them in front of her

Then let King Qi toast her

This Qi king is together

Hui Di also wanted to join in the fun

Also stood up and picked up a glass of wine

I want to toast to the Queen Mother together

Empress Dowager Lu was taken aback

Hurry up and stand up too

knocked over the wine glass in Hui Di's hand

This woke up King Qi at once

He didn't dare to drink the wine in his hand anymore

Just excuse yourself and say that the amount of alcohol is not good

I took my leave

Later, I inquired through the side

King Qi knew that Empress Dowager Lu had already killed him

He was terrified

I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave Chang'an alive

Fortunately, King Qi did not enter Beijing alone this time

He also brought a few of his own people

This one of his own people gave him ideas

king

Although Gaozu has many children

But the only ones born to the Empress Dowager Lu are the current emperor and Princess Lu Yuan

Now you have more than seventy cities, the king

And Princess Lu Yuan only has a few closed cities

If you can dedicate one of your counties to the Queen Mother

Let's just say it's a gift to Princess Lu Yuan

The Queen Mother will definitely be happy

You won't have to worry about your life

King Qi acted according to the plan

really

Empress Dowager Lu, who was respected and afforded, was very happy

Not only is he angry with King Qi

also praised him as an elder brother for being a man

Then the king of Qi returned safely to the fiefdom

Emperor Hui of Han didn't want to take care of things more and more

Empress Dowager Lu's hands are getting wider and wider

She is in charge of almost all major affairs in the DPRK and China

It's like the emperor behind the scenes

191 BC

Empress Dowager Lu ordered the abolition of the law of coercion

This coercion was at the suggestion of Li Si back then

A decree issued by Qin Shi Huang

The main content is in addition to some essential books for life

It is forbidden for the private sector to collect books without permission

After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty

Many of the systems of the Qin Dynasty were inherited

This law of coercion was thus postponed

Empress Dowager Lu now waved her hand

The law of coercion was abolished

from now on

Books can also appear openly among the people

That's a big deal

Later generations are evaluating her merits

Always praise here

In addition to lifting the book ban

Outside of raising the spiritual image of the country

Empress Dowager Lü also actively improved the country's physical image

From 192 BC onwards

Empress Dowager Lu ordered the construction of a city wall for Chang'an City

By 189 BC

It lasted three years

The project was successfully completed

After the completion of the Chang'an city wall

Princes from all over the country came to Beijing to congratulate

Empress Dowager Lu has done another big thing

Empress Dowager Lu, the emperor behind the scenes, is doing a good job

But the real emperor Emperor Han Hui is alive

On the one hand, he couldn't get used to his mother's approach

On the other hand, he didn't dare or have the ability to argue with the old lady

Emperor Hui of Han was so aggrieved that he lived

Finally in 188 BC

Suffocated to death

The emperor died

It was a national funeral

But at the time of mourning

The ministers noticed a strange phenomenon

It's just that Empress Dowager Lu is crying a little strangely

Dry thunder does not rain

The sky was dark and the earth was crying, but not a single tear came out

Everyone wondered

But there are still people who understand

Zhang Liang's fifteen-year-old son Zhang Biqiang was already a servant at that time

The kid stabbed Prime Minister Chen Ping with his hand

Chen Chengxiang

The Queen Mother only has such a son

Now the son is dead

But she cried without tears

You know what's going on

Chen Ping knew that this kid had always been smart

He asked rhetorically

Why do you think that?

Zhang Biqiang no longer goes around in circles

The emperor died early

The sons are all relatively young

I can't control the situation

The Queen Mother is afraid that you old ministers will do something

I'm going to do it to you

Chen Ping nodded

You say it all

Zhang Piqiang continued to state his views

You should now advise the Queen Mother

Named their old Lu family's Lu Tai and Lu Lu as generals

Let them command the two armies of the north and south of the Han Dynasty

In this way, the Queen Mother will feel at ease

You old ministers will be spared from disaster

Chen Ping nodded

That's all I have to do

heard that the prime minister recommended the Lu family to take charge of military power

Empress Dowager Lu was very happy

He agreed to the prime minister's recommendation

Then the Queen Mother relaxed

He wept before his son's spirit

Although the old ministers have been preserved for the time being

But the Lu family held military power

Empress Dowager Lu has a larger scope of control

A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day

Lü Pheasant was the master and the crown prince Liu Gong was appointed emperor

This Liu Gong is the young emperor of the Han Dynasty

Because the emperor is young

Lu Pheasant personally went to the court and exercised the emperor's authority openly

From now on

All orders of the imperial court

are all from the Queen Mother

Now the country is still surnamed Liu

But the master is already a person surnamed Lu

This Empress Dowager Lu came up with an idea

She wants to give the Lu family the highest honor

Crowned king

But there is a master in the family and a group of ministers

Empress Dowager Lu didn't dare to make decisions without permission

Gather the ministers to discuss the matter

She first asked the opinion of the right prime minister, Wang Ling

This royal tomb is a man who has a saying

He replied in a loud voice

Back then, Taizu once slaughtered a white horse and made a covenant with his ministers

It's not that the children surnamed Liu can't be crowned kings

otherwise

People in the world can condemn it together

Now the Queen Mother wants to make the surname Lu king

I don't think it's appropriate

Here's a brief introduction to the White Horse Alliance

Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty that year

But there are many cattle who rebelled at the same time as him or made great achievements

And he made them kings

But later, many of these kings rose up to create Liu Bang's rebellion

Liu Bang has tried his best

Only then did they settle down one by one

Liu Bang boiled it all down to one thing

These people are not their own family surnamed Liu

So it's not the same heart with yourself

That's why it's like this

and slew a white horse

and the blood of the ministers as an alliance

Conventions

In the future, only people with the surname Liu can be crowned kings

Those with other surnames want to be kings

That is the hidden danger of the big man

Everyone should oppose him together
