李固 / Li Gu (late Han)

李固 / Li Gu enters the wiki through Hanji 929 as 李燮’s father and the earlier official behind the Luoyang saying that “the father would not establish an emperor and the son would not establish a king.” The source recalls Li Gu’s opposition to installing the later Emperor Huan, preferring 刘蒜 as an older and more capable candidate.

The page is source-scoped to that succession-memory role. Li Gu matters in this ingest because his earlier refusal supplies a family and political template for Li Xie’s later objection to restoring 刘续.
