Chapter 431: Taking Charge of Government
"My little fairy, please rest assured. We already know this and will never do this again," Lu Zhi assured Li Wu. She didn't know this before and just wanted to strengthen the relationship.
Deng Sui and Bumbutai also said that this would never happen again.
The ancestors in the barrage also said that after the immortal talked about this matter last time, they had issued an order that close relatives could not get married, otherwise they would be arrested and imprisoned, so few people dared to do so.
And they also don't want to give birth to weird children. Not only is this bad for the children, but it will also lead to gossip from others.
In the end, the child may not survive. If it is a healthy child, then it is fine. But if it is an abnormal child, then it may be secretly disposed of.
So no matter what the reason is, it is impossible for them to get married as close relatives.
"That's good, that's good. This is very serious, so you have to remember it," Li Wu also secretly glanced at the barrage, and was relieved to see that the ancestors had listened to it.
Fortunately, everyone was able to listen, otherwise she wouldn’t know what to do.
"Then continue talking," Li Wu glanced at Lu Zhi, who smiled and nodded.
"Because Empress Zhang was too young at the time, she was only 11 years old, and Liu Ying felt that Empress Zhang was his niece, which was against human ethics and he could not accept it at all, so he never touched Empress Zhang.
Empress Lu, you want a grandson again, but this grandson must be born from Empress Zhang's womb.
So you came up with an idea, letting Empress Zhang fake a pregnancy, and taking the son of a beautiful woman in the harem away and passing him off as Empress Zhang's own.
Get rid of the mother and keep the child, and make the child the crown prince!"
When the barrage heard this, they started to curse Lu Zhi again, saying that she was crazy about power and not only did she harm her own son, but she also wanted to control her grandson.
Lu Zhi didn't say anything, but just narrowed her eyes.
"In 188 BC, Emperor Hui of Han, Liu Ying, passed away, and you, Empress Lü, began to rule the country and exercise the power of the emperor, becoming the first empress dowager to rule the country in history.
After Liu Ying was buried, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, but naturally it was you, Empress Lu, who made the decision.
In order to control the court, Empress Lu, you naturally have to use your own people, that is, your own family.
You also appointed Shen Yiji as the left prime minister and sidelined the right prime minister Chen Ping.
Empress Lü, you allowed your own nephew to control military power.
When Liu Bang was alive, he made the "White Horse Alliance" with his ministers, which stated that if anyone other than a member of the Liu family became king, the whole world would attack him together. This was done in order to supervise the Liu royal family.
Empress Lü, you came up with another idea, which was to force them to marry women from the Lü family.
And you tried every means to make the Lü clan kings. Empress Lü, you have set a precedent for the monopoly of power by foreign relatives," Li Wu looked at Lü Zhi, but he could understand her.
Lu Zhi shook her head and said nothing while eating. If she didn't use her own family, who else could she use?
Other people are not as trustworthy as your own relatives.
Many emperors in front of the sky curtain could not help but frown when they heard about the power monopolization of foreign relatives. Because of this precedent, many subsequent dynasties did not allow foreign relatives to interfere in politics.
The barrage also madly cursed Lu Zhi, saying that she was short-sighted, brought chaos to the court, was a witch and poisonous queen, etc.
If Lu Zhi saw this, I don't think she would have much reaction. She had been scolded a lot along the way.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty: Liu Bang frowned, he knew that Lu Zhi's hand had already reached the court, and she just turned a blind eye.
I don't know what happened to his Han Dynasty after being tortured by Lu Zhi.
What Liu Bang never expected was that Liu Ying would die so early. He also thought that after all, Lu Zhi was Liu Ying's mother and would not do anything to him. He underestimated Lu Zhi.
He wanted to see what Lu Zhi would do next. If she went too far, he wouldn't mind getting rid of this vicious woman and not letting her cause trouble for the Han Dynasty again.

"Empress Lü, you have done a very good job in caring for the people.
He is also quite tolerant towards the people.
You can implement policies without leaving your home, and the world will be safe and sound.
Punishment is rarely used and crimes are relatively rare.
The people devoted themselves to farming, and their clothing and food gradually became abundant.
This shows that you, Empress Lü, are very good at managing the Han Dynasty."
Lu Zhi smiled. The immortal recognized her. However, she was still thinking whether to support her son to take the throne or to adopt Liu Heng.
Forget it, let's just listen to how the decision is made later. Besides, Lu Zhi felt that Liu Bang would definitely stop her.
When Liu Bang heard that Lu Zhi was doing a good job, he was relieved. He was afraid that Lu Zhi would oppress the Han people and make life difficult for them.
However, no matter how well Lu Zhi did, she could not let the other party go. She had to take a look at her son Liu Heng.
Emperors of later generations all praised him so highly, so he must have done a very good job.
He had never taken this child seriously before. Liu Ying was considered useless. He had always looked down on Liu Ying as his son. After hearing the words of the little immortal, he looked down on him even more. So for the sake of the Han Dynasty, he decided to train a new son.

"In 180 BC, Empress Lü was seriously ill, but before her death, she still did not forget to consolidate the Lü family's rule.
You appointed your nephew, King of Zhao, Lü Lu, as the supreme general and instructed him that when Liu Bang pacified the world, he made an alliance with his ministers, and anyone who claimed to be king but not a member of the Liu clan would be killed by the whole world.
Empress Lu, you said you were about to die. Now the Lu family calls me the emperor. The emperor is still young. The Liu family and the ministers have long disliked the Lu family, so a mutiny might occur.
You let your nephew take firm control of the army and guard the palace, and not to leave the palace to attend your funeral.
Even at the last step, Empress Lu, you were still considering the Lu family.
After your death, you will be buried together with Liu Bang in Changling.
He died at the age of 62, which was not a short life, after all, most people in ancient times had short lives.
When Lu Zhi heard that she lived to be 62 years old, she was quite satisfied.
"After your death, Empress Lü, the Lü clan seized power and attempted to start a rebellion, but they were afraid of Liu Bang's former ministers and did not dare to start.
As a result, a fierce and bloody struggle broke out between the Liu royal family group and the Lu foreign relatives group.
King Liu Xiang of Qi launched an uprising from outside, and Chen Ping and Zhou Bo responded from within.
The Liu kings then rose up and killed the Lü clan, and all the Lü clan members, regardless of gender or age, were beheaded.
The struggle between the Liu and Lu families ended with the victory of the Liu royal group.
After the Lu family's power was destroyed, the ministers believed that the Later Emperor Shao and several other children established by you, Empress Lu, were not Liu Ying's biological children, so they wanted to choose a new heir to the throne from the Liu royal family.
Because of the precedent set by you, Empress Lü, the ministers' main consideration is the child's mother.
The new emperor could not have a strong maternal family, so after much selection, they finally chose Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng. In this way, Liu Heng, because his maternal family had no power, eventually sat on the throne of emperor! "
Liu Heng himself was also confused. He had never thought of becoming an emperor before. But by coincidence, the throne just fell on his head. He couldn't refuse it at all, and didn't want to refuse. Who doesn't want to be an emperor, right?
