Empress Dowager Hu
Just a few hours later, Empress Dowager Hu issued an edict to dethrone the infant Emperor and declared that Yuan was a girl. She placed Yuan Zhaoson of the deceased Yuan Baohui (元宝晖), Prince of Lintaoon the throne instead. Yuan Zhao ascended the throne on 2 April 528, the day after Empress Dowager Hu issued the edict.
