Emperor Shang of Han (Chinese: 漢殤帝; pinyin: Hàn Shāngdì; Wade–Giles: Han Shang-ti; late October or early November 105 – 21 September 106) was an infant emperor of the Chinese Han dynasty and the fifth emperor of the Eastern Han.[3]
Born Liu Long, the infant was placed on the throne by the Empress Dowager Deng Sui when he was barely 100 days old, despite him having an older brother, Liu Sheng (劉勝).
Empress Dowager Deng also kept Liu Hu (劉祜) – the twelve-year-old cousin of the young emperor and future Emperor An of Han – in the capital Luoyang as insurance against the emperor's death. Liu Hu ascended to the throne when Emperor Shang died in September 106; however, Dowager Deng still remained as the regent for the teenager Emperor An. A decree by Empress Dowager Deng during this reign shed light on bureaucratic inefficiency.
