| ARTICLES RELATED TO Empress Lü Zhi | | | |  Empress Lü Zhi: Encyclopedia II - Empress Lü Zhi - As empress dowagerEmpress Dowager Lü quickly exerted even more influence on the reign of her son than even she did as empress.

She placed Consort Qi in prisoner clothes and stock and forced her to conduct hard labor -- grinding rice. She also summoned Prince Ruyi to the capital, intending to kill them together.

| | | | Empress Lü Zhi: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Hui of Han - Early life and years as crown prince How Liu Ying's childhood was like is not completely clear. What is known is that he was not his father Liu Bang's oldest son -- that would be Liu Fei, who would later be created the Prince of Qi. However, Liu Ying was considered to be the proper heir because his mother, the later Empress Lü, was Liu Bang's wife, while Liu Fei's mother was either a concubine or a mistress.
What is also known is that during Chu Han Contention, when Liu Bang fought a five-year war with Xiang Yu for supremacy over the Chinese world, his mother, his siste ...

| | | | Empress Lü Zhi: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Hui of Han - Marriage and children In winter 192 BC, Emperor Hui married Empress Zhang, a marriage that would not yield any children. However, whether Emperor Hui actually had children during or before his reign is a controversial question. The officials, including Chen Ping (陳平) and Zhou Bo (周勃), who would later overthrow the Lü clan after the deaths of both Emperor Hui and Empress Dowager Lü, claimed that Emperor Hui had no sons -- but that Empress Zhang, at Empress Dowager Lü's instigation, stolen eight boys from other people, put their mothers to death, and mad ...

| | | | Empress Lü Zhi: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Hui of Han - Reign as emperor Immediately upon Prince Ying's ascension to the throne as Emperor Hui, Empress Lü, now empress dowager, became the effective lead figure in his administration. She wanted to carry out a plot of revenge against Consort Qi and her son Ruyi. She first arrested Consort Qi and put her in prison garbs (shaved head, confined by stock, and wearing red clothes). She then summoned Liu Ruyi to the capital -- an attempt that was initially resisted by Ruyi's chief of staff Zhou Chang (周昌), whom she respected because he was one of the officials who i ...

| | | | Empress Lü Zhi: Encyclopedia II - Empress Lü Zhi - Death In 180 BC, Grand Empress Dowager Lü was making sacrifices to the gods at Bashang. As she was returning to the capital after the sacrifices, she saw something that appeared to be a blue-haired dog charging her armpit and then suddenly disappearing. A warlock informed her that the object was Prince Ruyi's spirit. She became apprehensive and began to suffer pain in her armpit, which eventually became a major illness. She died later that year and was buried with her husband.
In the aftermaths of her death, the officials would plot against the Lü clan and have Grand Empress Dowager Lü's family members overthrown and executed. S ...

He put Empress Lü and Crown Prince Ying in charge of the capital Chang'an and key decisions in home territories, assisted by Xiao He and Zhang Liang. It was also during this time that Emperor Gao began to favor one of his younger concubines, Consort Qi, who bore him a son, Ruyi (劉如意), who was created the Prince of Zhao in 199 BC, displacing Empress Lü's son-in- ...
