4.93

[16] Emperor Xuan, [named] Xun, changed the era to Benshi (great-grandson of Emperor Wu and grandson of Crown Prince Li. When he was born there was hair beneath his feet. Originally named Bingyi. When the Crown Prince was caught in the witchcraft affair, he was already in swaddling clothes. He relied on Bing Ji, who rescued and raised him in the inner palace. Huo Guang, from the maternal family, deposed Changyi, submitted a memorial to the Empress Dowager, and welcomed him from among the common folk to ascend the throne. Distant lands came to court; he was called the Sovereign of Restoration. In the twelfth month of the renshen year he died in the Weiyang Palace at the age of forty-three, and was buried in Duling).
