When Hui Di died, Lv Zhi just cried, not shed tears. Zhang Bijiang, the left-behind son of Zhang Liang, said to Prime Minister Chen Ping, "The only son of the Queen Mother is Hui Di. Now that she has passed away, the Queen Mother is just crying instead of being sad. Do you know why? " Chen Ping said he didn't know. He said, "The emperor doesn't have an adult son. The queen mother is very worried about you old ministers. If you ask the Empress Dowager to make Lu Tai, Lu Chan and Lu Lu badminton generals, command the imperial palace to guard the northern and southern armies, and then let the Lushi family enter the DPRK with heavy power, it will not only reassure the Empress Dowager, but also avoid disaster. Chen Pingzhao did, and Lv Zhi immediately began to cry. Here, Zhang Bijiang made it very clear that ministers can only avoid disaster if the Queen Mother is at ease. So, it's not that he didn't kill the veteran, but that Chen's veteran took the initiative to protect himself before he publicly opposed it.

This measure of self-protection even became flattering to some extent in later years. Chen Ping has both Sean's ingenuity and Xiao He's political talent, but his character is often criticized, which is one of the reasons.
After Lv Zhi exercised the functions and powers of the emperor, he called his ministers to discuss and planned to make Zhu Lu king. He first asked the right prime minister's tomb. It is said in the tomb that Gaozu once killed a white horse and made a wish with his ministers. If Liu's children were not kings, the whole world would condemn him. So it is clearly opposed. Lv Hou was unhappy, of course, so she asked the left prime minister Chen Ping and Jiang Hou. The two men said, Gao Pacifies the world and makes Liu's children king. Now, Empress Dowager Cixi is acting as the emperor and making her brothers king. There's nothing wrong with that. They not only agreed to make Zhu Lu king, but also found a good reason for Lv Zhi. Lv Hou is certainly happy. After the mausoleum withdrew from the dynasty, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo were criticized. They said, we can't compete with you in the court today, but you can't compete with us in saving the big fellow and stabilizing Liu's descendants in the future. As a result, Wang Ling was dismissed and Chen Ping replaced him as the appropriate prime minister. Later, the official specially set up Houqiu.
In fact, what these two people did was completely self-protection. As for the future, "saving the world and stabilizing the descendants of Liu" is totally unreasonable. Liu bang did say that he was slow to respond, but it must be this man who decided Liu's world. But this kind of words is a prophecy, and it is more a hope for Liu Bang. The subtext is: If this person can't do it, then Liu will be completely finished! This is exactly what we saw. Did the two men say a word or plan anything when they raised their butcher knives and cut Liu's children? If there is such a heart, it is just a kind of helpless waiting, waiting to see the situation after Lv Zhi's death.
Look at these things!
Queen Lu named Zhang Yan king of Lu. He is neither Liu nor Lu, just because he is his daughter and the son of Princess Lu. Chen Ping and others have no objection.
The emperor established by Lv Hou heard that he was not the queen's own, but was brought by his own mother who killed him. When I learned about it after I was a little sensible, I complained that I would take revenge when I grew up. Lv Hou was very worried when he heard about it. She was afraid that he would make trouble in the future, so she imprisoned him in Yongxiang Palace, abolished him on the pretext that the little emperor was seriously ill, and finally killed him. When Lv Hou did this, none of the ministers headed by Chen Ping objected. Instead, they called Lv Hou "considerate" and respectfully called her "kowtowing".
Liu You, the king of Zhao, was called to prison in Beijing. He had no food and eventually starved to death.

Liu Hui, King of Liang, was renamed King Zhao, and this good place of Liang was given to Lu Chan, a family member. Because the prince of Zhao was unhappy, he married Lu's daughter to be his queen. The queen's entourage are all from the Lujia family. They are in power and watch the prince of Zhao. They can't act at will. Wang Zhao fell in love with a concubine (this article was compiled and published by Ai Health Network), and Lv Hou sent someone to poison her, causing her inner grief and committing suicide. Lv Hou even disinherited his descendants to the throne.
Before that, Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, was killed, and Liu Fei, the king of Qi, was almost poisoned by family gifts. For these things, Chen Ping and others did not say a word, let alone stability and protection. On the contrary, he suggested that Lv Hou Lv Lu, Hou of Wu Xin, was the superior, and asked him to become the prince of Zhao. Lv Zhi couldn't wait and agreed at once. If it weren't for death, I don't know how many kings of Liu would suffer.
This is also attributed to the incompetence of Lu's children. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether he can handle Liu.
From Lv Hou's point of view, she is a politician and a mature politician. He knows who his opponent is. As long as Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others don't openly oppose her, she doesn't need to kill these former ministers. Instead, she will leave these people behind, which will not only stabilize the world, but also deter Liu's children and give herself a facade. Why not? !
Is she incapable of killing the minister? Don't! Lv Zhi is not only capable, but also easy to be killed. This is the way to kill Han Xin.
Chen Si rebelled, Liu Bang personally expedition, and state affairs were handled by Lv Hou and Xiao He. Some people denounced Han Xin's rebellion, and Lv Hou showed the decisiveness and composure of a mature politician. She wanted to call Han Xin, afraid that he wouldn't listen, so she asked Xiao He to discuss countermeasures. She used a trick to make people pretend to be the emperor, saying that the emperor defeated Chen Yi and killed him, and asked all the princes and ministers to come to the palace to congratulate him. Still worried that Han Xin would not come, he sent Xiao He, the most trusted person in Han Xin, to invite him. As soon as Han Xin entered the palace, the warriors tied him up, and Lv Hou immediately put him to death, without giving Han Xin any time to run for his life or giving ministers a chance to intercede.
Modu chanyu killed his father for Khan. After that, the East Lake was destroyed, the Yue people in the west were driven away, Loufan was annexed, and its power became stronger, and it began to invade the frontier of the Han Dynasty. And sent a letter to Lv Hou to insult her, and Lv Hou endured it. Because at that time, after the war at the end of Qin dynasty, the country was exhausted and unable to fight again. She listened to the minister's advice and spent the crisis with her relatives. This kind of thing can be tolerated, which shows that Lv Zhi has the basic qualities of a politician.
The maturity of politicians lies in what they should do, what they should not do, what they should do first, and what they should do later. So, Lv Hou is very clear that what she wants to do is to eliminate the threat from the Liu Group, not to deal with the former ministers.

Among Liu Bang's philosophers, Ruyi Zhao, the son of Qi Jisheng, is the greatest threat to Lv Hou. Liu bang once said that this son is the most like him and wants him to be a prince. After Liu Bang's death, Lv Hou immediately laid hands on him, and after many twists and turns, he was finally killed. Liu Ruyi's death is not only the stable position of her son Hui Di Liu Ying, but also the hidden trouble of her interference in state affairs. At the same time, this is also a shock to other kings and ministers of Liu. Really kill three birds with one stone!
Liu Fei, King of Qi, went to Beijing to congratulate him. According to family etiquette, Huidi asked him to sit in the first place. Empress Lu was furious and poured two glasses of poisoned wine in front of the king of Qi and he wanted to propose a toast to her. Hui Di clued-up, Liu Fei stood up to propose a toast. Lv Zhi got scared, stood up and knocked over Hui Di's wine. The King of Qi was so surprised that he dared not drink this cup of wine and left the banquet drunk. Afterwards, I learned that it was poisoned wine. Liu Fei was afraid that he could not leave Chang 'an, so he dedicated a large piece of land in his fief to Princess Lv Yuan, the daughter of Lv Housheng. That's not enough. Respecting Princess Luyuan as the Empress Dowager means treating your sister as your mother, which is against ethics. Lv Hou was very happy and sent him back to Qi. Deep-seated reasons, no matter how humble Liu Fei's mother status is, among brothers, Liu Fei is the elder brother after all. From this perspective, he also has the right to inherit the throne, which is a bit threatening to the emperor's position. I'm afraid this is the real reason why Lv Hou makes a mountain out of a molehill!
Lv Hou not only directly killed people, but also married the Lushi women to the princes of Liu to control them.
It must be pointed out that Lv Hou did not become an emperor herself, nor did she intend to be an emperor. This is also proved by a mature politician, because he knows that if she shows even a little performance in this respect, the world will immediately fall into chaos. After all, every kingdom in the Han Dynasty had its own regions, administrative agencies and armies. If she really becomes an emperor, no matter how powerful she is, she can't control the situation. Her real purpose is to enable the Lushi Group to control the emperor. Whether this goal can be maintained behind her depends on the ability and nature of her family.
