Chapter 46 Harem things

On the one hand, Liu Bang is trying to eliminate dissidents and stabilize his power struggle; on the other hand, the situation in his backyard is not calm. A battle for the hegemony of the harem and the throne is going on between Empress Lu and Madam Qi. Unfold quietly.Although this is a war without swords and swords, without swords and halberds, it is a battle of wits and courage with climaxes.While making it thrilling for future generations, it was also deeply shocked by the tragic struggle of the palace, the profound resourcefulness, and the tragic experience of the losers. The initiator of the conspiracy to seize the heir apparent was Liu Bang's youngest wife, Mrs. Qi.How did this Mrs. Qi get here?This starts with Liu Banghan starting his army in the first year.

Liu Bang raised troops and entered Dingtao in the first year of the Han Dynasty.This ambitious leader of the rebel army is the most beautiful woman in his life. He heard the report from his servants, saying that there is a flowery and jade-like fairy Qi in this area. How can Liu Bang not be tempted?Liu Bang's valet found Qi's family and sent a generous dowry, so he took possession of this beauty who fascinated Liu Bang. Liu Bang discovered that this beauty was not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also possessed peerless charm skills.Her skin is fair, pure and gentle like snow-white and flawless white jade; her eyes are round, very soft and charming; her figure is plump and elegant; Light and beautiful, like the wind and snow, it is intoxicating.

The history does not say what Madam Qi looks like, only know that she is very musical, can play the drums, is good at dancing with her sleeves bent, and can also sing, so that people with rough lines like Liu Bang can sing a male and female duet with her. , similar to the current karaoke. In this way, Mrs. Qi made Liu Bang dizzy. Madam Qi was the beauty Liu Bang took advantage of during the Revolutionary War to take advantage of the time between battles.As a leader, I am so tired from fighting for many years. It is normal for Bubble Beauty to adjust her mood and relax her muscles and bones. It can be said that it is for better work.Although Liu Bang didn't know a few big characters, he cherished this relationship on the revolutionary road very much, and loved Madam Qi very much.

Madam Qi was naturally moved, and braved swords and swords to give birth to a son named Liu Ruyi for Liu Bang.Liu Bang loves Wu and Wu, and loves Liu Ruyi very much. When Ruyi was seven years old, he was made king of Dai, and when he was ten years old, he was made king of Zhao.Dai Wang Ruyi looks more and more like Gaozu Liu Bang.Liu Bang loves Mrs. Qi so much, and at the same time, because his son smiles and smiles as he wishes, and acts like himself, he regards the mother and son as treasures and loves them even more. According to Liu Bang's wishes, this delicate and charming Mrs. Qi should have been established as a queen, but what is difficult is that Lu Gonghui knew people back then and married his beloved daughter Lu Hou to Liu Bang. He gave birth to children for him, and worked hard to farm the fields to support his family, and let Liu Bang hang out on diplomatic tours.Liu Bang has always been very grateful to Lu Gong and his wife Lu Empress.Although Liu Bang's career prospered day by day, his wife Lu Hou gradually passed away in youth, and she was old and frail.But Liu Bang is still grateful to his wife, because the original wife, Mrs. Lu, has made great contributions, helped Liu Bang when he was at his worst, and won a group of advisers who served him. Queen.And the poor Mrs. Qi can only take the second place under the Lu family.

And Empress Lu spent a lot of time in the bloody days. She is no longer a weak woman, and her temperament has been tempered to be more resolute. She is extremely coquettish, and cannot be compared with the young and delicate Mrs. Qi. Mrs. Qi also knew that the hero was sad and beautiful, so she always put on an aggrieved look and kept crying in Liu Bang's ear.Talk about how Empress Lu showed her face, and said that she was afraid of the queen's revenge in the future.And the best way to ensure his own safety is to make his son Ruyi the crown prince. In fact, it is understandable for Mrs. Qi to have such thoughts.

In ancient times, mothers were often more expensive than their sons. If one's son could become the emperor, then one could also become a queen mother. In particular, Mrs. Qi neither has a good family background, nor will she be able to come to things like Queen Lu, and has won over many advisers.She relied only on Liu Bang's little favor for her. If one day Liu Bang traveled westward on a crane, her life would be sad. However, if his son becomes the prince, everything will be different. Therefore, Madam Qi chose this path, and used her weak body to play a game with big tit Lu Hou.She is also a person who refuses to "shine shoes".

When Liu Bang heard Madam Qi's cry, he absolutely believed it, because Empress Lu often gave him advice, although it was for the sake of his imperial power, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Bang would break out in a cold sweat, because his wife was so cruel. .But when Mrs. Qi asked Liu Bang to change the crown and make her son Ruyi the crown prince, Liu Bang also felt that it was really difficult. One was because of his gratitude for the kindness of his first wife, Lu Shi, although the love between them had almost faded. However, Lu Taigong's kindness and Lu's hard work still moved Liu Bang; second, it was difficult for Yi Chu to get the support of the ministers.

Although there are tens of millions of difficulties in Yi Chu, a hero is sad to be a beauty, not to mention Liu Bang is not a real hero.Finally, the beauty's tears finally had an effect, Liu Bang was moved, and decided to change Liu Ruyi as the prince.Even if there are many difficulties, but for the favor of the beauty, it must be done. In fact, at this time, the relationship between Liu Bang and Empress Lu had already existed in name only.It is said that Empress Lu had not seen Liu Bang for many years, so she had an affair with other men, but she knew very well that the future of herself and her sons and daughters were firmly tied to Liu Bang, who had never been gracious, so she absolutely could not let She has become a real second-cousin wife, and she desperately wants to keep her son's position.

Prince Liu Ying was born to Empress Lu, so the crown prince's position should be very stable, but who knows that Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, Madam Qi wanted to use her favored advantage to change the reality, and wanted to drive Prince Liu Ying from power. Make his own son Liu Ruyi the crown prince.This is absolutely intolerable to Empress Lu.Not only would Empress Lu not agree to her son's idea, but even if her daughter's status was shaken, Empress Lu would not agree. After proclaiming himself emperor, Liu Bang once named Empress Lu's daughter Princess Lu Yuan, and married Zhang Ao, the newly succeeded King Zhao, as queen.However, in the winter of this year, Liu Bang suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Huns Modu Shanyu.In view of the exhaustion of the national strength at the beginning of the dynasty, Liu Bang decided to adopt the proposal of the minister Lou Jing and use the "peace" policy to turn enemies into friends with the Huns in exchange for time to recuperate the national strength.At this time, Mrs. Qi's kung fu began to work, so Liu Bang hit on Princess Lu Yuan's idea and forced Lu Yuan to retire and pass on to the Huns.

When Empress Lu received the news, she rushed to Liu Bang like thunder, crying day and night, and begged, "I only gave birth to a daughter (Princess Lu Yuan) and a son (Prince Liu Ying), but you cruelly threw her to the Huns." Savage!" And at this time, it was time for Lu Yuan and Zhang Ao to arrange their marriage, so Liu Bang reluctantly found a woman from the people, declared that she was the eldest princess, and sent her grandly to the Huns Khanate as a single Yu (second term) Luan Timotun's wife. However, this matter is just the beginning, and the good show is yet to come!

At the beginning, Liu Bang had just escaped from the siege of the Huns. When he returned to Chang'an, he passed Zhang Ao's Zhao country. Zhang Ao respected his future father-in-law. Serving tea and serving meals, and swearing at will at will. When Liu Bang had to give way to Empress Lu in the matter of Princess Lu Yuan and her marriage, his attitude towards his son-in-law Zhang Ao was even worse. After that, he passed Zhao Guo again, and his attitude did not change at all.Zhang Ao was grateful to Liu Bang for restoring the country of Zhao, and he considered himself a junior, but Guo Xiangguan couldn't swallow this breath, and wanted to assassinate Liu Bang.However, Liu Bang's fate was great, and the matter failed in the end. However, the plan somehow slipped through the cracks.Liu Bang was furious, so he put all Zhao Guojun and his ministers into prison. This time, Empress Lu was so angry that her face turned purple, so she ran to Liu Bang again, but Liu Bang didn't buy her at all, and insisted on sending King Zhao and Zhang Ao to death row. At this time, Zhao Guoguo was very loyal and upright, and he did not drag the unknowing King Zhao Zhang Ao into the water in the face of torture, but did one thing and one person, which saved Zhang Ao's life. Therefore, Liu Bang gave the fat vacancy of King Zhao to his most beloved son, Liu Ruyi, the son of Mrs. Qi. This appointment was such a coincidence, so coincidental that it was hard to believe that Mrs. Qi would be such an innocent lamb.Her political IQ may not be enough for her to plan such a big prison alone, but it is an undoubted fact that she watched Empress Lu's mother and daughter suffer without any help, and finally picked the fruit. Therefore, Empress Lu and Madam Qi are no longer just ordinary rivals in love. They have been feuding for a long time, and it only depends on who the final winner is. At this time, in the mind of Emperor Liu Bang, Madam Qi was much more important than Empress Lu.Because of mother and son, needless to say, Mrs. Qi felt that finding the crown prince for her son was as easy as pie. Little did she know, however, that politics was not at her mercy.Those senior officials in the court will let her ride on their heads? When Liu Bang expressed his idea of ​​changing Liu Ruyi as the crown prince in the court, he was firmly opposed by most of the ministers.Because the prince determines the future destiny of the country, ministers have to participate in decision-making, let alone sit idly by.The courtiers were unanimously opposed to changing the crown prince. Liu Ying has been crowned crown prince for eight years and has a benevolent nature. The ministers are also willing to let him be the future emperor, and Liu Ruyi may not be a good master to serve. Faced with the opposition of his officials, Liu Bang still insisted on his own opinion.At this juncture, Censor Zhou Chang stood up and defended Liu Ying loudly.However, he had a stutter, and he couldn't say more when facing Liu Bang's questioning in a rage, so he could only shout repeatedly: "I can't speak, but I know it's impossible; Your Majesty wants to abolish the prince, and I can't do it!" I will not obey the edict!" Because Zhou Chang stuttered, when he said the above words, he changed the word "period" that did not need to be overlapped into "period". Of course, Zhou Chang stammered and blushed, and Liu Bang couldn't help laughing.This meeting on the abolition of the crown prince lost its atmosphere of debate, so it ended. In fact, at the beginning of the debate on abolition and establishment, Empress Lu had been quietly listening next door.When Liu Bang left the stage and all the ministers gradually dispersed, Zhou Chang also came out. Suddenly, the dignified mother of the country, Empress Lu, knelt down directly to him. She was so grateful to Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang was Liu Bang's hometown when he first raised his army. Liu Bang was not really afraid of Zhou Chang who stuttered, but through him he saw how many supporters Liu Ying had, and these supporters were all the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty.As the wife of Liu Bang, Empress Lu suffered a lot with him, and her influence among the elders and fellow countrymen was much higher than Madam Qi, who could only dance and sing.Although Liu Bang is rough on etiquette, he is a man who has strategies and knows how to weigh gains and losses. However, Liu Bang's shelving of changing the crown prince gave Empress Lu and Prince Liu Ying the opportunity and time to fight back.Empress Lu is a character that Liu Bang fears. Not only is the city deep, but she is also ruthless. Most of the heroes in the early Han Dynasty fell into her hands. How could the weak Madam Qi be her opponent?
