Synopsis

This book is the third installment in Mr. Li’s “Haihun Marquis Trilogy.” It tells the story of Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of Han, another famous figure from the Western Han dynasty who was closely connected to Liu He, the Marquis of Haihun. The twenty-five years of Liu Xun’s rule marked another high point in the development of the Han dynasty after the “Prosperous Era of Emperor Wu,” and came to be known as the “Zhongxing Restoration under Emperor Xuan.”

The story begins in 91 BC, in the autumn of the second year of Emperor Wu of Han’s Zhenghe era. The fires and cries of slaughter in Chang’an had raged for a week before gradually subsiding. The air still reeked of blood, and the prosperous Han capital remained gripped by fear and unease. Late that night, the moon shone wanly through a thin veil of clouds over Chang’an’s Commandery Residence Prison. During the Han dynasty, the princes, commanderies, and kingdoms maintained temporary jails in their official residences in the capital, Chang’an. In the dim moonlight, the cold walls around the cells glimmered a dull green. Apart from the occasional chirp of a cricket, the entire prison was so silent that not a sound could be heard.
