Life of the characters
The king of Liang
Liu Hui is the fifth son of Liu Bang. In 196 B.C., after the rebellion of Peng Yue, the king of Liang, was killed, Liu Hui was granted the title of king of Liang by Emperor Gaozu of Han, and his capital was set in Dingtao. In 196 B.C., Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty passed away. Liu Huiyi's mother and brother Liu Ying succeeded him to the throne as emperor Huidi of the Han Dynasty. Liu Ying was weak in character, and the power of the imperial court was controlled by his mother, Empress Dowager LV Zhi.
The king of Zhao
In the first month of the seventh year of empress Lu (181 BC), Liu Hui's half brother, king you of Zhao, was imprisoned by Empress Lu and starved to death. After that, the land of Zhao was suspended in the air. Because she hated the first king of Zhao, Liu Ruyi, empress Lu hated people and the land. In February of the same year, empress Lu ordered Liu Hui to move to the land of Zhao to be the king of Zhao, and the land of Liang was taken over by LV Chan, the king of Liang. Therefore, Liu Hui, the king of Liang, became the king of Zhao, and LV Chan, the king of Lu, became the king of Liang. Liu Hui's title as king of Liang was originally granted by Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty when he was alive. Liu Hui was still a child when he was granted the title, but now he has grown up. He was suddenly renamed king of Zhao by Empress Lu. Liu Hui is at a loss. Generally speaking, we should not be satisfied. First, when he grew up in Liangdi, the ancients had a heavy local complex and inconvenient transportation, so he certainly didn't want to leave his hometown. Second, Zhaodi was remote and far less fertile than Liangdi. Third, he was unlucky to be king in Zhaodi. The first two kings of Zhaodi were killed by their own fate, and those who were king there were killed by blood. Now Liu Hui himself is going to this extremely dangerous land of right and wrong, The situation is not conducive to their own, no matter who feel that the future is hopeless.
Marry the daughter of LV
After Liu Hui arrived in Zhaodi, empress Lu didn't immediately start on him, but didn't give up his supervision. In order to completely control him, empress Lu used the trick of Liu LV marriage and ordered him to marry LV Chan's daughter as Queen. Before that, Liu Hui had a beloved concubine, and they were very affectionate. However, Queen Lu is cruel and vicious. She insists that she has empress Lu's support behind the scenes, takes over power in the palace and secretly looks at Liu Hui. She doesn't pay attention to Liu Hui at all, doesn't let Liu Hui get close to any other women, and deprives Liu Hui of any right to enjoy family happiness. Liu Huiming knew that she was the eye liner that Lu had arranged in front of him. Now he lost power and made him feel even more desperate. Even worse, he did not dare to show any feelings of dissatisfaction or uneasiness. Although Liu Hui was awed by the power of obscenity and gave in from time to time, he was still a bloody king of the princes. As the saying goes, patience always has a certain limit, so he secretly meets his beloved concubine behind his back. But none of this can be concealed from Queen Lu. With the support of empress Lu, Queen Lu sent someone to poison Liu Hui's concubine with poison wine.
Suicide for love
In the face of this blatant political assassination, Liu Hui was extremely sad, but he had nothing to do. It seemed that any way to live in front of him was closed. Besides anger, he had more despair and fear. Liu Hui was depressed and depressed. Liu Hui wrote four elegies for her, and asked the musicians to recite them repeatedly every day. It was only four months after AI Ji's death. In June of the seventh year of empress Lu (181 BC), Liu Hui committed suicide because of his excessive grief. After hearing about it, empress Lu believed that Liu Hui committed suicide for a woman, but did not want to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple, so she abandoned his country and resolutely refused to adopt his son, so Liu Hui died. Until Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, he became king Gong.
