刘泽 / Liu Ze, Qi Royal Descendant (Western Han)

Overview

刘泽 / Liu Ze enters the wiki through Hanji 393-2 as a grandson of the Qi Xiao king and an operational partner in 燕王刘旦’s first exposed rebellion against 汉昭帝刘弗陵.

Current Profile

The episode presents Liu Ze as the Qi-side executor of a wider royal conspiracy. He joins Liu Dan and Liu Chang in claiming false authorization from 汉武帝 and in circulating documents that deny Han Zhao’s biological legitimacy. His assigned move is concrete: return to Qi, raise troops from Linzi, and first kill Qingzhou inspector 隽不疑.

The plan never reaches execution. Pinghou Liu Cheng reports it, Jun Buyi arrests Liu Ze’s group in advance, and the case is sent to Han Zhao and 霍光. Although the investigation identifies Liu Dan as the principal, Han Zhao exempts his elder brother from punishment and Liu Ze and the other participants are executed.

Key Characteristics

• Western Han Qi royal descendant identified as a grandson of the Qi Xiao king.
• Co-conspirator who helps convert Liu Dan’s succession grievance into a regional rebellion plan.
• Legitimacy propagandist associated with false authorization and denial of Han Zhao’s paternity.
• Intended Linzi mobilizer whose first target is Qingzhou inspector Jun Buyi.
• Exposed conspirator arrested before action and executed while Liu Dan is spared.

Evidence

Conspiracy role:

• Hanji 393-2 identifies Liu Ze as a grandson of the Qi Xiao king and says he conspires with Liu Dan and Liu Chang.
• Hanji 393-2 links the group to a fabricated Wudi authorization and documents denying that Han Zhao is Wudi’s son.

Operational failure and punishment:

• Hanji 393-2 says Liu Ze plans to raise troops at Linzi and kill Jun Buyi.
• Hanji 393-2 says Liu Cheng’s report lets Jun Buyi arrest the group before the attack and that Liu Ze is executed after Han Zhao spares Liu Dan.

Qualifications

This page is bounded to Hanji 393-2. It does not reconstruct Liu Ze’s complete genealogy, office, household, recruitment network, exact force, trial, or execution procedure. The semantic filename distinguishes this Qi royal descendant from other people named Liu Ze.

What Changed

Relationships

• 燕王刘旦 / Liu Dan, Yan King (Western Han) - principal royal claimant whose rebellion Liu Ze helps operationalize.
• 隽不疑 / Jun Buyi (Western Han) - intended assassination target who arrests Liu Ze’s group first.
• 汉昭帝刘弗陵 / Emperor Zhao of Han - ruler who spares Liu Dan but has Liu Ze and the other participants executed.
• 霍光 / Huo Guang (Western Han) - regent who receives Jun Buyi’s rebellion report with Han Zhao.
• Lethal Plan Leakage Risk / 致命计划泄露风险 - failure mechanism because prior disclosure permits preventive arrest.
