Chapter Seventy-Six: Lu Hou I
Lao Tzu is dead
Smoothly written
Liu Bang's son Liu Ying succeeded to the throne
This is Emperor Hui of Han
Although Liu Ying became the emperor
But it's not him who really has the final say
It was his mother, Empress Dowager Lu
What's going on here?
We also have to talk about this Empress Dowager Lu
Empress Dowager Lu
It is the former Empress Lu
Lv Pheasant
Liu Bang was a scoundrel back then
lied about giving a gift of 10,000 yuan to Mrs. Lu's house to satisfy his hunger
didn't expect Mrs. Lu to fall in love with this gangster pavilion chief
married his daughter to Liu Bang
Although Liu Bang was a pavilion chief at that time
That can only be regarded as a sesame big official dew with a big future
And before marrying Lu Pheasant
Although he didn't get a wife
But he was merry and happy outside, and had an illegitimate child
Lu Pheasant did not dislike her husband
She did her best
fulfilled the responsibilities of being a wife, a daughter-in-law and a stepmother
Later, Liu Bang became rich
became the king of Han
But because the world is too chaotic
Lu Pheasant and Mrs. Liu's family stayed in Pei County
Not only did they not enjoy the blessings
It was also in the battle of Chu and Han in the future
was captured by Xiang Yu and taken to Chu Ying as a hostage
After nine deaths
Lu Pheasant finally returned to Liu Bang's side
But at this time, Liu Bang already had a new woman by his side
Mrs. Qi
A blessing in the midst of misfortune
Lu Pheasant is also the first lady
Her biological son, Liu Ying, is the crown prince
But Lu Pheasant is not the only one who has a biological son
Mrs. Qi also has one
It is the Ruyi who was established as the king of Zhao
Mrs. Qi thought very well
My husband is liking himself more and more
The meal ticket for the first half of my life is in my pocket
If only his son could be made a prince again
The rest of his life has also been settled
So she wanted to fight for her son for the position of the crown prince
How exactly is it fighting?
Of course, she couldn't go to Lu Pheasant to fight
It is said that ah
This Mrs. Qi often cries in front of Liu Bang
to the point of crying day and night
And so on and forth
Liu Bang also gradually moved his mind
Liu Bang thinks
Liu Ying is a good boy though
But the character is too kind and cowardly
It's this wishful thinking
Be a good person
It's quite like when I was younger
At that time, Liu Bang was already the emperor
Such a major event as changing the crown prince
He's still not good at making decisions on his own
I consulted with the ministers of the DPRK and China
Unexpectedly
Those ministers who have experienced the test of war with Empress Lu
did not agree to the replacement of the crown prince
Although there are quite a few people who support it
But Lu Hou was still a little panicked
I'm afraid that Mrs. Qi will blow the wind on the pillow every day
I don't know which day Liu Bangli will disagree with the public
really removed Liu Ying's crown prince
Come and think about it
Lu Hou thought of a person
Zhang liang
After both hard and soft
Zhang Liang sent someone to give a message to Empress Lu
Your Majesty used to listen to me
But that was in the difficult times of the war
This is no longer the case
My words don't work well
Don't worry
I've heard that
The emperor attached great importance to the four masters who lived in seclusion in Shangshan
But people heard that the emperor has always been arrogant and rude
They refused to go down the mountain
If the queen can give these four people, please go down the mountain
Let them assist the prince
Especially when it came to the court
Let them go with the prince
The emperor saw that these four people were assisting the crown prince
Maybe the idea of changing the crown prince will be dispelled
Empress Lu is a doer
After reading Zhang Liang's suggestion
Immediately, the prince asked the prince to write a personal letter to the four masters
Then send people who are close to him
With a generous gift, I went to invite the four masters out of the mountain
I don't know if it's the prince's letter, it's too touching
Or those four masters originally intended to assist the next emperor
They soon ended their seclusion
Come to the Prince's side
Assist the Crown Prince
Things were a bit of a mess after that
The princes and kings under Liu Bang constantly rebelled
I don't care about the prince's affairs
The royal driver himself went
During this period
Empress Lu was not idle
When Liu Bang went to quell Chen Feng's rebellion
She conspired with Xiao He to take down Han Xin, who acted as an internal response
And then it was arbitrary
didn't wait for Liu Bang to come back and give instructions
Killed Han Xin
After killing Han Shin
Empress Lu's image among the ministers was different all of a sudden
In the eyes of all the heroes
She is no longer a woman
It's a hostess
Empress Lu was not satisfied with this achievement
She kept trying
Peng Yue, the king of Liang, asked her for help on the way to exile
Without saying a word, she brought Peng Yue to Liu Bang's side
In a few words, Liu Bang was persuaded to kill Peng Yue
Such a capable wife is stationed in the rear
Liu Bang was more relieved to go to the rebellion
In this way, he personally went to crusade against the rebellious Yingbu
Yingbu was killed though
But Liu Bang was hit by a stray arrow in the war
This body is getting worse day by day
He had a vague feeling that his life would not last long
He had to hurry up and determine the heir he was happy with
Then abolish the crown prince and set up a new one
It's imminent
Many ministers in the DPRK and China still firmly support Liu Ying
But Liu Bang's temper is getting more and more stubborn day by day
Zhang Liang saw that he couldn't speak anymore
I can't go to court because I'm sick
The crown prince, the uncle, and Sun Tong even admonished each other with death
Liu Bang only superficially obeyed
In my heart, I was ready to start
There was a time
The emperor feasted hundreds of officials in the palace
Liu Bang's astonishing discovery
There were four old men sitting beside the prince
All four of them had white beards and eyebrows
At least 80 years old
Liu Bang had never seen them
I asked the four of them where they came from
The four stepped forward to answer
Each reported his name
Liu Bang was taken aback when he heard this
For so many years
I've been sending people to ask you to come out of the mountains
You all avoid it
Why follow my son now
The four replied in unison
We have heard that His Majesty does not like scholars
He also loves to swear
We don't want to suffer this humiliation
That's why I haven't dared to come to see Your Majesty
Now I heard that the prince was filial and respectful
Special respect for readers
Everyone in the world is willing to serve him
We are not willing to be left behind
Willing to go out of the mountain to assist the prince
After listening to these words
Liu Bang couldn't help but look at the prince again
Half an hour later
He turned back to the four old men and said
After that, the crown prince will be handed over to the four
The four old men toasted Liu Bang with a glass of wine and went down
Liu Bang pointed to the backs of the four and said to Mrs. Qi
I have the heart to change the crown prince
But you see
Even these four have come to assist the prince
It seems that the crown prince's wings are already full
I can't move even if I want to
Mrs. Qi cried bitterly after hearing this
But Liu Bang has made up his mind
Until death
The replacement of the crown prince was never mentioned again
That's it
Liu Ying's status as the crown prince was retained
Empress Lu has a bit of a bottom in her heart
After Liu Bang returned to heaven
Empress Lu was still a little worried that her son was too young
I may not be able to suppress those old ministers
has never mourned Liu Bang
She consulted with her henchmen
Many of the generals who led the troops were the same as the emperor
It was from the common people
Later, the emperor took the throne
They knelt down and called themselves vassals
I wasn't very convinced
Now the crown prince is on the throne
and asked them to serve the young emperor
They will certainly be more unconvinced
If you don't kill them all
The world will not be peaceful
I don't know how
And the word went out
It was known to the general Li Shang
Whether it's for the sake of Dahan
Or their own heads
Li Shang felt the need to do something
Come and think about it
So I went to see him
My lord
I heard that the Emperor had been dead for four days
But the Queen Mother has been secretly mourning
I also want to kill all the generals
If only it did
The world was in danger then
Think about it
Chen Ping led an army of 100,000 to garrison Xingyang
Fan Hao and Zhou Bo led an army of 200,000 in Yandi
If you hear that the emperor has died, the generals will be killed
It will definitely lead the troops back to attack Guanzhong
Until that time
The ministers are making trouble inside
The princes rebelled abroad
The day of the end of the world is not far off
This is true
Judging the food, he nodded again and again
Then hurriedly entered the palace to see Empress Lu
The stakes were repeated
Then Empress Lu is a person who understands
She stopped doing it to the generals
and then gave Liu Bang a funeral
Amnesty to the world
Now Liu Ying is sitting on the throne of the emperor
But the one who really controls the world is still that Empress Lu
Wrong
Now she is the Empress Dowager Lu
Empress Dowager Lu has clear grievances
After the amnesty
She began to do something to Mrs. Qi
Mrs. Qi was first punished for hard labor
But this Mrs. Qi is used to the life of fine clothes and food
Where can I endure such suffering
She sang in private and sighed
The son is king
The mother was a slave
Rice all day long until dusk
Often associated with death
Mother and son are three thousand miles apart
Who are you going to find to tell you
The song soon reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Lu
Empress Dowager Lu was unhappy
Good
Don't you want your son to know?
Then I'll let your son come and see you with his own eyes
