己丑，日食，晝晦。太后惡之，心不樂，乃謂左右曰：「此為我也。」
梁王恢之徙王趙，心懷不樂。太后以呂產女為趙王后。王后從官皆諸呂，擅權，微伺趙王，趙王不得自恣。王有所愛姬，王后使人酖殺之。王乃為歌詩四章，令樂人歌之。王悲，六月即自殺。太后聞之，以為王用婦人棄宗廟禮，廢其嗣。
《吕太后本纪》
This story is not about how a woman destroyed a man, but how a women destroyed her family and rebuild a political regime with more cruelty and violence than a man. For a man emperor with rationale, killing sometimes is a strategy. For a woman as the lord, killing is more of a curse with emotional arguments that cannot be justified.
