Why was Emperor Liu Ying forced to marry his niece? He can't even decide his own marriage?

Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, was forced to marry by Lv Zhi and married his niece. As the king of a country, you may not be able to make your own decisions in marriage. At the same time, there are 3 thousand harem beauties. Besides being forced by their mothers, they may also be partial to other concubines. At the same time, by doing so, Lv Zhi wanted to stabilize his political power.

In Lv Zhi's mind, I think it's a kiss on the cheek. Because zhangyan is his niece, she also holds the idea that the rich water will not flow outside, and wants two people to become husband and wife. But at the time of the wedding, zhangyan was very young, only 10 years old. So at this time, she knows nothing and is at the mercy of others. Many people think that zhangyan is pitiful and has become a joke forever. I believe Lv Zhi didn't think clearly before doing it again. He didn't really think about his son's future life.

This is a love affair. Although Lv Zhi thinks there is no problem that these two people have different names, they are collateral blood relatives. During Liu Ying's reign, Lv Hou was not particularly satisfied with him. At the same time, she may want to divert her son's attention and gain more power through this marriage. Many queens are dictatorial and don't want others to use their status as emperors or relatives to expand their influence. After marrying zhangyan, Lv Zhi was particularly relieved because her daughter always listened to her.

In marriage, they have no feelings, which is obviously a political marriage. Although the imperial power was further consolidated, everyone's moral sense did not allow such a thing to happen. At the same time, in this incident, the biggest loss is always Lv Zhi himself. Although in ancient times there was no regulation prohibiting consanguineous marriage. But if I do have a baby, it's likely to be deformed and make everyone think I'm extremely scary.
