闻人袭 / Wenren Xi (late Han)

Overview

Wenren Xi is a late-Han taiwei removed from office in Hanji 891’s 169 CE Three Excellencies turnover.

Current Profile

The current wiki evidence gives Wenren Xi only as an office-churn marker. His removal helps set up the June 169 reshuffle in which Liu Chong becomes taiwei, Xu Xun becomes situ, and Liu Xiao becomes sikong. The source does not supply an independent reason for Wenren Xi’s dismissal.

Key Characteristics

• Taiwei named in the May 169 high-office removal sequence.
• Part of Emperor Ling’s early Three Excellencies turnover.
• Context marker for the appointment sequence that later elevates Liu Xiao.
• Source-scoped official with no developed biography in the current wiki.

Evidence

• Office removal: Hanji 891 says Wenren Xi is removed as taiwei in May 169.
• Appointment context: Hanji 891 uses his removal to introduce the next month’s appointment of Liu Chong as taiwei.
• Court-churn role: Hanji 891 keeps Wenren Xi in a sequence where office movement matters more than individual biography.

Qualifications

No current source in the wiki explains why Wenren Xi is removed. The page should stay narrow until a later source gives career background or factional context.

What Changed

• Created the page from Hanji 891’s May 169 taiwei removal notice.

Relationships

• 汉灵帝 - ruler whose court removes Wenren Xi during early-reign office churn.
• 刘宠 - successor as taiwei in the next month’s appointment sequence.
• 许训 - high official removed and appointed in the same source-scoped churn field.
• 刘嚣 - later sikong appointment in the same sequence.
• 朝廷开府任官失序 - broader high-office instability frame.
