武阳君 / Wuyang Jun

Hanji 918 gives Wuyang Jun an earlier household prehistory through the He-family rise. The episode traces Empress He’s path from 何真’s Nanyang butcher household into the palace and treats the family line around 何进 and 何苗 as already becoming politically meaningful after 刘辩’s birth; later pages preserve the formal Wuyang Jun title notice separately.

Hanji 922 gives Wuyang Jun an earlier title-marker before the 189 palace-family crisis. In 183 CE, 汉灵帝 grants Empress He’s mother the title Wuyang Jun amid the same episode’s disaster, flood, and late-Han instability markers.

This earlier notice makes later He-family politics less abrupt. The page still treats her as source-scoped, but Hanji 922 shows that her status was already formally visible before 何进, 何太后, and the eunuch reentry channel dominate her later appearances.

Hanji 944 backfills Wuyang Jun before the later reentry and purge scenes. The episode presents her as 何太后’s mother and as one of the He-family elders already tied to eunuch benefits before 何进 tries to remove the palace eunuchs.

In this source, Wuyang Jun helps make the court struggle a family-interest problem. Together with 何苗, she warns the dowager that He Jin is trying to monopolize power, protecting the 十常侍 before Hanji 945 shows her channel helping 张让 regain access.

武阳君 / Wuyang Jun enters the wiki through Hanji 945 as the He-family elder and palace-family channel through whom 张让 gets access back to 何太后. The episode says Zhang Rang’s plea moves through his daughter-in-law to Wuyang Jun, and Wuyang Jun’s relay helps the dismissed eunuchs reenter the palace.

The source gives Wuyang Jun a narrow but important pre-collapse role. Her channel shows that 何进’s outside-pressure strategy does not control the emotional and kinship routes inside the palace, setting up Hanji 946’s counterattack.

Hanji 948 later uses Wuyang Jun as the He-family elder whom 董卓 kills after deposing 刘辩 / 弘农王. The episode identifies her in the He-family branch around 何苗 and says Dong Zhuo has her body thrown into a palace-side pond area and prevents collection.

The page is source-scoped. Wuyang Jun matters here less as a developed biography than as evidence that Dong Zhuo’s deposition politics becomes household liquidation. By denying proper handling of her body, Dong Zhuo makes the He family an example to the remaining court.
