输僰 / Shubo (Khotan, late Han)

Overview

输僰 / Shubo is the Khotan noble and general in Hanji 838 who kills 王敬 after the killing of 于阗王建, then briefly self-enthrones before Khotanese people kill him. The route uses the Khotan suffix because Shubo already names an unrelated modern AI-founder page.

Current Profile

Shubo first appears as the Khotanese military responder after King Jian is beheaded at Wang Jing’s banquet. He leads troops against Wang Jing, rejects Wang’s claim that the killing was ordered by the Han emperor, goes upstairs, kills Wang, and displays Wang’s head.

His own power claim fails immediately. Shubo makes himself king after killing Wang Jing, but the Khotanese people do not accept him. They kill him and install Jian’s son 安国, turning Shubo’s counterattack into a short-lived interruption rather than a durable succession.

Key Characteristics

• Khotan noble and general who reacts militarily to King Jian’s killing.
• Rejects Wang Jing’s imperial-command claim and kills the Han envoy.
• Publicly displays Wang Jing’s head as retaliation and warning.
• Attempts to convert anti-Wang action into personal kingship.
• Fails because Khotanese people reject his self-enthronement and restore Jian’s line through Anguo.

Evidence

• Military response: Hanji 838 says Shubo quickly learns of Jian’s death and attacks Wang Jing with troops.
• Killing Wang Jing: Hanji 838 says Shubo goes upstairs, kills Wang Jing, and hangs Wang’s head in the street.
• Self-enthronement: Hanji 838 says Shubo then establishes himself as Khotan king.
• Popular rejection: Hanji 838 says the people do not want him and kill him.
• Succession outcome: Hanji 838 says Anguo is installed after Shubo’s death.
