Edit Profile石世
Career
In the Chinese annals he is sometimes referred to by his title after removal as an Emperor, Prince of Qiao (譙王). Empress Liu and Zhang then planned to control the government after Shi Hu"s death. After Shi Hu"s death, Shi Shi succeeded to the throne.
Empress Dowager Liu became regent, and she shared power with Zhang.
Unhappy with this development, Shi Zun, with a number of generals supporting him, advanced on the capital Yecheng, killing Zhang and detaining Empress Dowager Liu and Shi Shi. He then forged an edict by Empress Dowager Liu deposing Shi Shi and giving himself the throne.
He reduced Shi Shi to a Prince of Qiao, and Empress Dowager Liu to a Princess Dowager of Qiao, but then executed them. Shi Shi was just 10 when he died.
