刘续 / Liu Xu (Anping Wang)

刘续 / Liu Xu enters the wiki through Hanji 929 as the Anping Wang whose restoration becomes a disputed court decision. The source says Liu Xu had been captured by the 黄巾军 and later ransomed by people of Anping, creating the background for 李燮’s refusal to support restoring his kingdom.

Li Xie’s warning is initially punished as slander against the imperial clan, but the episode says Liu Xu is executed less than a year later for great treason and the Anping state is abolished. The page therefore treats Liu Xu as a source case where princely title and clan status do not guarantee public fitness under late-Han disorder.
