李暠 / Li Gao (Runan administrator)

Overview

李暠 / Li Gao is the former Runan administrator whose daughter becomes the victim in 徐宣’s Xiapi violence case in Hanji 872.

Current Profile

The source gives Li Gao a victim-family role rather than an independent political career. Xu Xuan seeks Li Gao’s daughter as a concubine; Li Gao refuses. Xu Xuan’s subsequent violence against the family makes Li Gao’s household the concrete human cost behind the episode title.

Li Gao’s role is important because it keeps the case from being reduced to a factional dispute between eunuchs and officials. The political question begins with a family resisting coercive sexual appropriation and suffering lethal retaliation.

Key Characteristics

• Former Runan administrator named through his daughter’s victimization.
• Household head whose refusal blocks Xu Xuan’s concubine demand.
• Victim-family figure connecting private coercion to public law enforcement.
• Source-scoped identity normalized from the supplied transcript’s Li Song rendering.

Evidence

• Prior office: Hanji 872 identifies the victim’s father as a former Runan administrator.
• Refusal: Hanji 872 says the family refuses Xu Xuan’s demand to take the daughter as a concubine.
• Violence consequence: Hanji 872 says Xu Xuan responds with a household attack and killing.
• Enforcement trigger: Hanji 872 says Huang Fu acts after learning of the case.

Qualifications

The source page normalizes the supplied transcript’s “李嵩” to 李暠 because the surrounding Xu Huang, Xu Xuan, Xiapi, and Huang Fu sequence matches that classical-source identity. This page does not attempt a full biography of Li Gao beyond the victim-family case.

What Changed

• Hanji 872 creates Li Gao’s canonical page as the former Runan administrator whose daughter’s killing anchors the Xu Xuan case.

Relationships

• 徐宣 - magistrate who targets Li Gao’s daughter.
• 黄浮 - official who executes Xu Xuan after the household violence.
• 汝南郡 - former administrative office context.
• 宦官庇护下的地方暴行 - related pattern where the victim family is nearly displaced by palace retaliation.
