There are so many powerful princes in the "anti-Lu", why do you have to wait until you die?

After Liu Bang's death, Lv Hou went into mourning on the fourth day. Three days ago, she had been plotting how to get rid of the senior minister, but after careful consideration, she thought it was an impossible task. Because the scope of the attack is too large, the things involved are too complicated and intertwined, which is beyond the control of emperors. However, Emperor Lu had this idea because he was afraid that these people would rise up and resist.

In fact, these people are far from what emperors imagined? Evil? , also have no power to resist, so no one jumped out to pick things, but get along with Lv Hou? Harmony? . In fact, this is a kind of balance, both sides can't eat each other, because the veteran etiquette seems huge, but in fact it is fragmented, and Lv Hou's family power can't be underestimated, so no one dares to take the risk.

As the saying goes, there is no need to harm people, and there is no need to prevent people. Therefore, Lv Hou has never relaxed its vigilance against senior officials. In order to ensure the stability of the regime, Lv Hou constantly strengthened his family power. And this process can only be at the expense of Liu Zongshi.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was divided into seven princes with different surnames: Han Xin, Ying Bu, Peng Yue, Zangcha, Han Wangxin, Zhang Ao and Wu Rui. But after many years? Work hard? Before his death, six of the seven Wang Zizhong with different surnames changed their surnames to Liu. That is, King Liu Jiao of Chu, King Liu Chang of Huainan, King Liu Hui of Liang, Prince Liu Jian of Yan and King Liu Ruyi of Zhao. Honesty and integrity? Changsha Wang Chenwu (son of Wu Rui) has not changed. In addition, Liu Bang also made Liu Bi king of Wu, Liu You king of Huaiyang, Liu Jia king of Jing and Liu Fei king of Qi.

Among them, Liu Jiao is Liu Bang's half-brother, Liu Bi is Liu Bang's nephew, Liu Jia is his cousin, and the rest are Liu Bang's sons. And these princes have one thing in common: they are either old or weak, and their foundation is too shallow. For example, Liu Jiao and Liu Jia are old; Liu Yinghe just came of age; Several sons are still teenagers; What's important is that these C's have just been crowned king, and they have not had time to form a climate, so they can only be at the mercy of Lv Hou.

Next, Liu Ruyi, Liu You and Liu Hui were all killed directly or indirectly by Lv Hou. Wang Zhao became Lv Lu, and Liang Wang became Lv Lu. After the death of Liu Jian, the prince of Yan, Lv Hou cut off all his children, and then pushed Lu Tong, a member of his family, to the throne of Yan. In order not to be criticized, Lv Hou successively made Liu Ying's youngest sons Liu Qiang, Liu Wu, Liu Buyi, Liu Yi, Liu Chao and Liu Taifeng king, and finally made Liu Ze (cousin Liu Bang) king of Langya.

However, Lu Jiasan was a really powerful vassal, while Liu Jiaze was much weaker. In this way, the power of the Lujia family is above Liu's elders, ministers and clansmen. In his later years, Lv Hou named my nephew Lv Lu as a general, commanding the northern army, and named Lu Chan as a teacher and general, commanding the southern army. The northern army is in charge of Chang 'an guards, while the southern army is in charge of palace security. These two men, inside and outside, firmly control Chang 'an. However, Lv Lu and Lu Chan are too incompetent. After the death of Lu Hougang, the military power was taken away by the elders, making the Lu family a meat on the chopping board.

Among the princes, Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, had the intention of starting his troops first, so he sent Zhu Wu, the civil historian, to contact Liu Ze, the nearest king of Langya. I didn't expect Liu Ze to be timid and refused on the grounds of old age and infirmity. Worried about making trouble in the rear, Liu Xiang had a plan in mind, so he sent Zhu Wu, a civil servant, to inform him, saying, "I know nothing about military affairs, but you fought with Emperor Gao. In this way, come to Qi to help me, be my commander-in-chief, and lead troops to Beijing to eradicate Zhu Lu.
