He. Son of Prince Ai and grandson of Emperor Wu. In the fourth month of the first year of Yuanping, Emperor Zhao died without an heir. General-in-Chief Huo Guang discussed with the ministers the enthronement of the Prince. The Prince was wild and unrestrained by nature. In the sixth month, he received the imperial seal and ribbons, and honoured the Empress as Empress Dowager. The Emperor repeatedly refused remonstrance. Having reigned for twenty-seven days, the Empress Dowager issued an edict deposing him and sent him to his residence in Changyi. They welcomed and enthroned Bingyi, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu, from among the common people, making him the heir to Emperor Zhao and changing his name to Xun (Imperial Annals).
