Now it is generally believed that this was the arbitrary enfeoffment of the Lu family power in the later period, which gave Zhu Lu the right and caused violent resistance from the Liu royal group. But in fact, in the turbulent period after Liu Bang's death, it is understandable that Lv Hou relied on family power to stabilize the Han Dynasty. In fact, when the emperor succeeded to the throne at a young age, empresses made similar choices and chose to rely on their own family power. Therefore, it is understandable that Lv Hou vigorously cultivated the influence of the Lushi family. However, Lv Hou should adopt the old saying "too much is too late" to win the support of the Lushi family. Empress Lu was too supportive of his family's influence. Especially after Liu Ying's death, Lv Hou was an absolute monarch, and no longer needed to rely on family power to consolidate the stability of the Han Dynasty, but her support for the Lushi family intensified. More than a dozen people in the Lushi family have been made kings.
After Lv Hou listened to politics, he appointed Liu Bang's cast, including Xiao He, Cao Can, the tomb, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo. She practices laissez-faire, conforms to public opinion, never wastes people and money, and also reduces taxes. At that time, the social economy of the Han Dynasty was very good, and Qiang Bing was a rich country. In order to consolidate his power, he suppressed the power of the Liu royal family and fostered the Lu family. Lu Chan, Lu Tai, Lu Tong were appointed generals, and other Lu people were appointed as officials in the DPRK. The next year, she named her nephew heterosexual king.
Minister Wang Ling opposed the policy of "Lu is king", saying that Gaozu once said, "Liu must not be king". The tomb was also demoted. In BC 187, the Lushi people were made the opposite sex queen, and the daughter of the Lushi family married the Liu royal family, and her daughter married Liu Zhang (the youngest son). In BC 180, Lv Hou was seriously ill. Before she died, she did not forget to consolidate Lu's power. She asked Lv Lu and Lu Chan to divide the imperial army into north and south. She warned her nephews that after Emperor Gaozu pacified the world, he made a pact with his ministers. "It's not that Liu can't be king, but the world will punish him." Now that Lu is king, Liu's royal family and ministers are outraged. I'm dying, the emperor is still young, and ministers may defect. You must firmly control the army and never leave the palace to attend my funeral. "
After Lv Hou's death, Liu Xiang, king of Ai Qi, called all the kings in the world to crusade against the Lushi family. Qiu and the Prime Minister also ordered Li to send a message to induce Lu to return the book to Qiu, and told him, "Don't make a mistake. You have rebellious intentions. Wouldn't it be better to go back to your fief of Zhao and live a happy life? " After listening to Li's letter, he returned the relieving. After Qiu mastered the northern army, he immediately went to the palace to summon troops to kill Lu Chan, and all the Lu people were killed. The Lu family was wiped out after death.
Lv Hou meant well, but unfortunately her nephew didn't understand her intentions. Once the military power is in hand, the Lushi family will not be destroyed, and the military power will always be the best guarantee. It's a pity that I didn't know earlier. The situation is reversed. The ancients didn't cheat me. Lv Hou, who likes to destroy mankind, was also destroyed.
