Prince He of Changyi

Prince He of Changyi (Chinese: 昌邑王賀; pinyin: chāngyí wáng hè) (died 59 BC) was an emperor of the Chinese Han Dynasty for 27 days in 74 BC. He was installed and deposed by a prominent statesman of his time, Huo Guang. He was omitted from the official list of emperors. His personal name was Liu He (劉賀, liú hè) and he declared the era name Yuanping (元平 py. yúan píng). He is also frequently known as the Marquess of Haihun (Chinese: 海昏侯; literally "Marquess of Maritime Incompetence", a pejorative title) after the title he was given (created 63 BC) after he was deposed. When he was deposed, he was first returned to his former principality of Changyi, but without any titles.
