What happened to Lv Hou?

Because of shock, he finally destroyed himself.

Lv Hou is the first empress dowager in Chinese history who really holds the power of life and death of a dynasty. She is a strong political woman who regards power as her life.

However, Lv Hou, who caused too many killings, did not expect that his fate would be so tragic, he would be frightened and eventually destroy himself.

After seizing power, Lv Hou killed her husband Liu Bang's other two children in order to secure his son's throne and safeguard the interests of his family. In addition, a prince was forced to die, and even Liu Fei, the eldest son of Liu Bang, almost died at her hands.

Extended data:

Lv Hou (24 BC-BC 180), whose name was Luo, was Liu Bang's wife and was from a single-parent county (now Dongdan County, Shandong Province). Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor and made Lv Zhi queen, which played a great role in cutting off the princes with different surnames. After the death of Emperor Gaozu, Lv Hou took Hui Di as a prisoner when he was young, so he planned to kill all the old ministers and gain actual political power.

He was poisoned, cut off Mrs. Qi's hands and feet, made her dumb, and put it in the toilet, named it "Renbi". Hui Di was dissatisfied with what the emperor had done and died of depression. Lv Hou became the first dictator of China.

Lv Zhi was also the first woman to be called the imperial system after Qin Shihuang unified China and put it into practice. She was included in the Chronicle of Imperial Administration by Sima Qian, and later Ban Gu wrote Han Shu, which is still in use today. She initiated the exclusive rights of consorts in the Han Dynasty.

During the period of Lv Zhi's rule, the policy of "Huang Lao Yu Min Shu" was implemented, calligraphy was abolished, and folk books were encouraged to collect donations and restore old books. It laid a good foundation for the later rule of Wenjing. Sima Qian's evaluation of her in Historical Records and Biography of Lv Hou is that "the government will not leave the government, and the world will be in chaos; Punishment is rare, and sinners are hope; Civil cultivation, food and clothing cultivation, gave great affirmation to Lv Hou's administration.
