史高 / Shi Gao (Western Han)

Overview

史高 / Shi Gao enters the wiki through Hanji 478 as an outer-relative power actor aligned with 石显 in blaming 周堪 and 张萌 and in using 郑朋’s accusations against 萧望之’s side. Hanji 476 adds his immediately preceding exit as one of three senior officials who resign after Yongguang 1 disaster pressure.

Current Profile

The sources do not develop Shi Gao as a full biography. Hanji 476 places him in the responsibility-taking resignation sequence after famine and displacement; Hanji 478 then shows him still structurally important as part of the power field that converts disaster omens, factional conflict, and informant material into attacks on rival officials. Through Shi Gao, Zheng Peng’s private resentment gains an institutional channel.

• Resigns in Yongguang 1 alongside Yu Dingguo and Xue Guangde after disaster pressure.
• Aligned with Shi Xian in blaming Zhou Kan and Zhang Meng for disaster omens.
• Receives or uses Zheng Peng’s accusations against Xiao Wangzhi’s side.
• Functions as a factional channel rather than a deeply profiled individual in this source.
