霍成君 / Huo Chengjun (Western Han)
Updated · 1 episodes · 1 show · 1 source notes
Overview
霍成君 / Huo Chengjun enters the wiki through Hanji 424 as 霍光’s daughter, 汉宣帝’s empress, and a palace figure whose fall follows the Huo family’s failed power retention and attempted threat to crown prince 刘奭.
Current Profile
The episode presents Huo Chengjun as both a beneficiary and casualty of Huo household politics. Her empress position extends the family’s access to the palace after Huo Guang’s death, but the source places the main driving agency on her mother 霍显, who is said to manipulate and push the family toward dangerous conduct.
After the Huo conspiracy is exposed, Xuan deposes Huo Chengjun in the eighth month, accusing her of viciousness and attempted poisoning of Liu Shi. She is moved first to Zhaotai Palace in Shanglin苑, then later to Yunlin Lodge, where the episode says she kills herself twelve years after deposition.
Key Characteristics
- Huo-family empress whose palace position makes the household’s political risk immediate.
- Succession-risk figure because the episode attaches her fall to attempted harm against Liu Shi.
- Daughter shaped by Huo Xian’s ambition and Huo Guang’s earlier decision to place her in the palace.
- Deposed consort whose removal marks Xuan’s post-Huo consolidation.
- Tragic endpoint of the Huo family purge, ending in later forced relocation and suicide.
Evidence
Palace position and household risk:
- Hanji 424 says Huo Xian and Huo Chengjun move through the palace casually after Huo Guang’s death.
- Hanji 424 says Xuan blames Huo Chengjun for attempting to poison crown prince Liu Shi.
Deposition and death:
- Hanji 424 says Xuan deposes Huo Chengjun and moves her to Zhaotai Palace in Shanglin苑.
- Hanji 424 says she is later moved to Yunlin Lodge and commits suicide.
Household causality:
- Hanji 424 frames Huo Chengjun’s tragedy as being driven by Huo Xian’s greed and manipulation.

Relationships

- 霍显 / Huo Xian (Western Han) - mother whose ambition and misconduct the source treats as the main pressure behind Huo Chengjun’s tragedy.
- Emperor Xuan of Han / 汉宣帝 / 刘询 / 刘病已 - husband and ruler who deposes and relocates her after the Huo purge.
- Emperor Yuan of Han / 汉元帝 - crown prince Liu Shi whose safety is central to the accusation against her.
