She bore her husband three daughters, Princess Pingyang (平陽公主), Princess Nangong (南宮公主), and Princess Longlü (隆慮公主). She and her allly Princess Liu Piao probably had a hand in Consort Li's son and former crown prince, Liu Rong, being forced to commit suicide in 148 BC on charges that he intruded into the grounds of Emperor W ...

| | | | | | 148 BC: Encyclopedia II - North Africa during the Classical Period - Vandals and Byzantines Led by their king, Gaiseric, some 80,000 Vandals, a Germanic tribe, crossed into Africa from Spain in 429. In the following year, the invaders advanced without much opposition to Hippo Regius, which they took after a siege in which Augustine died. After further advances, the Vandals in 435 made an agreement with Rome to limit their control to Numidia and Mauretania. But in 439 Gaiseric conquered and pillaged Carthage and the rest of the province of Africa.
The resulting decline in trade weakened Roman control. Independent kingdoms eme ...

| | | | | 148 BC: Encyclopedia II - Zhou Yafu - Death In 143 BC, on one occasion, Zhou was summoned to dinner with the emperor, when the emperor had a large piece of meat placed before him, but not cut into small pieces, and no chopsticks were provided to him.

| | | | | | | 148 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Jing of Han - Middle reign and succession issues In 153 BC, because Empress Bo did not have a son, Emperor Jing created his oldest son Liu Rong (劉榮) crown prince. This made Liu Rong's mother, Consort Li (栗姬), who was one of Emperor Jing's favorite concubines, extremely arrogant. She also thought she would be created empress, particularly after Empress Bo was deposed in 151 BC, following Grand Empress Dowager Bo's death. She hated Emperor Jing's sister Princess Liu Piao, because Princess Piao had often given her brother beautiful women as concubines, drawing Consort Li's jealousy. When Princess Piao wanted to end this dispute by giving h ...

| | | | | 148 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Jing of Han - Early reign Emperor Jing largely continued his father's policy of non-interference with the people and reduction of tax and other burdens.

(He would later reduce the penalty again in 144 BC.) He also continued his father's policy of heqin (marriage treaties) with Xio ...

| | | | | 148 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Jing of Han - Late reign The late reign of Emperor Jing was marked by an incident for which he was much criticized -- the death of Zhou Yafu, who had been instrumental in the victory against the Seven States. Zhou, later as prime minister, offended virtually every powerful figure around Emperor Jing -- his brother Prince Liu Wu and his mother Empress Dowager Dou (for refusing to save Liang first when Liang was seiged by Wu and Chu forces), and his wife Empress Wang and her brother Wang Xin (王信), whom Emperor Jing wanted to create a marquess but whose candidacy w ...
