冯勋 / Feng Xun (Western Han)

Overview

冯勋 / Feng Xun enters the wiki through Hanji 495 as a Feng-family figure who privately warns 汉元帝 about 石显’s monopoly of power.

Current Profile

The episode gives Feng Xun a compact but consequential role. Shi Xian initially wants to approach the Feng family because 冯昭仪 is favored and the family is politically useful. Feng Xun instead tells Yuan that Shi Xian is monopolizing power and should be guarded against. Because Yuan already favors Shi Xian, the warning does not weaken Shi Xian; it makes Yuan displeased with Feng Xun and helps turn Shi Xian against the Feng family.
