What is the ending of Queen Lu?

Historically, Empress Lu died of illness.

Lu Pheasant married Liu Bang when he was under 20 and gave birth to a son and a daughter. During the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Lu Pheasant and other family members were captured by the Chu army. It was not until September 203 BC that Chu and Han negotiated peace and were released. After Lu Fei returned to the Han Dynasty, she became an important figure in the Han Dynasty. In order to consolidate her power, she and Xiao He used a trick to kill Han Xin while Liu Bang was on an expedition, thereby successfully frightening other heroes.

After Liu Bang died, Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, and Lu Pheasant began to take charge of power alone. In the seventh year of Xiaohui, Liu Ying died of illness. Lu Pheasant made Prince Liu Gong the emperor. He participated in government affairs and exercised the powers of the emperor. All orders from the court came from the Queen Mother, making him the first person to have the dictatorship of the Queen Mother in China. Lu Zhi died of illness in the eighth year of his second year of high school at the age of sixty-two.

Location of Queen Lu’s Mausoleum

The Mausoleum of Queen Lu is located in Sanyi Village, Yaodian Township, Weicheng District, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, 200 meters southeast of Gaozu Changling. The mausoleum is 32 meters high, with the base 160 meters from east to west and 131 meters from north to south. It is in the shape of an overturned bucket.

Because the mausoleum is built on the edge of the plateau on the north bank of the Weishui River, it looks like a hill from a distance and looks extremely majestic. When the Red Eyebrow Army entered Chang'an in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Empress Lu's body was dug out from the mausoleum and humiliated.
