侯汶 / Hou Wen (late Han)

侯汶 / Hou Wen enters the wiki through Hanji 979 as the attendant censor ordered by 汉献帝 to open the imperial granary and provide rice-bean gruel during the 长安 famine.

The source makes Hou Wen a corruption case inside a relief failure. Deaths do not decline after the granary order, so Emperor Xian tests the gruel by having rice and beans measured in front of him. The result suggests the official relief output has been diverted or diluted, and the emperor orders Hou Wen beaten. The page keeps that finding source-scoped to the episode’s administrative scene.
