刘长乐 / Liu Changle (Western Han)

Overview

刘长乐 / Liu Changle enters the wiki through Hanji 394-2 as a Western Han imperial-clan figure appointed by 霍光 during 汉昭帝刘弗陵’s early reign. The source lists him with 刘碧江 as part of Huo’s response to advice that the regency should include Liu royal relatives rather than monopolize authority.

Current Profile

The current evidence gives Liu Changle as a source-scoped appointee rather than a full biographical figure. His importance is relational: Huo Guang’s appointment of him as Guanglu Dafu helps show a deliberate effort to reduce royal-kin alienation and make cooperation with the regency materially rewarding.

Key Characteristics

• Western Han imperial-clan appointee in the early Han Zhao regency field.
• Appointed Guanglu Dafu by Huo Guang.
• Paired with Liu Bijiang as evidence of royal-kin inclusion.

• Evidence for benefit-sharing as a tool of court coalition management.
