汉灵帝 / Emperor Ling of Han

汉灵帝 / Emperor Ling of Han enters the wiki through Hanji 949 as the death-timing marker that leaves 于扶罗 without an effective Han court judgment during the 南匈奴 succession crisis. The source says Yufuluo comes to 洛阳 to complain, but the emperor’s death and the ensuing disorder make the court unable to settle the matter.

The same source also names Emperor Ling as one of the authorities whose summons 申屠蟠 had refused before 董卓 tried to recruit him. The page is source-scoped: Hanji 949 uses Emperor Ling mainly to mark the late-Han court breakdown before Dong Zhuo’s more direct coercive rule.
