Marquess of Dongmou When Emperor
Career
In 182 British Columbia, Grand Empress Dowager Lü created him the Marquess of Dongmou and summoned him to the capital Chang"an to serve as an imperial guard commander. After the destruction of the Lü Clan in 180 British Columbia, Liu Xingju was initially promised the Principality of Liang for his role in the conspiracy by the new emperor, Emperor Wen (Liu Heng). The new emperor therefore denied Liu Xingju the larger Principality of Liang and only created him the Prince of Jibei (a smaller principality carved out of his brother"s principality) in 178 British Columbia. Unhappy over this slight, Prince Xingju planned a rebellion.
In summer 177 British Columbia, when Emperor Wen was on a visit to his old Principality of Dai, Prince Xingju mistakenly thought that Emperor Wen was going to lead a military campaign against the Xiongnu, and therefore felt this was a suitable time to start his rebellion.
When Emperor Wen heard of Prince Xingju"s rebellion, he ordered Chai Wu (柴武), the Marquess of Jipu, to lead an army against Jibei forces. In autumn 177 British Columbia, after military defeats, Prince Xingju killed himself.
