Emperor Guangwu of Han
Emperor Guangwu (born Liu Xiu; 15 January 5 BC – 29 March 57), courtesy name Wenshu, was an emperor of the Chinese Han dynasty, restorer of the dynasty in AD 25 and thus founder of the Later Han or Eastern Han (the restored Han Dynasty).
He ruled over parts of China at first, and through suppression and conquest of regional warlords, the whole of China was consolidated by the time of his death in 57.
Liu Xiu was one of the many descendants of the Han imperial family.
Following the usurpation of the Han throne by Wang Mang and the ensuing civil war during the disintegration of Wang's short-lived Xin dynasty, he emerged as one of several descendants of the fallen dynasty claiming the imperial throne.
After assembling forces and proclaiming himself emperor in the face of competitors, he was able to defeat his rivals, destroy the peasant army of the Chimei, known for their disorganization and marauding, and finally reunify China in AD 36.
He established his capital in Luoyang, east of the former capital Chang'an, ushering in the Later/Eastern Han dynasty.
He implemented some reforms (notably land reform, albeit not very successfully) aimed at correcting some of the structural imbalances responsible for the downfall of the Former/Western Han.
His reforms gave a new 200-year lease of life to the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Guangwu's campaigns featured many able generals, but curiously, he lacked major strategists.
That may very well be because he himself appeared to be a brilliant strategist; he often instructed his generals on strategy from afar, and his predictions generally would be accurate.
This was often emulated by later emperors who fancied themselves great strategists but who actually lacked Emperor Guangwu's brilliance—usually to great disastrous results.
Also unique among emperors in Chinese history was Emperor Guangwu's combination of decisiveness and mercy.
He often sought out peaceful means rather than bellicose means of putting areas under his control.
He was, in particular, one rare example of a founding emperor of a dynasty who did not kill, out of jealousy or paranoia, any of the generals or officials who contributed to his victories after his rule was secure.

He was the father of Liu Hong and grandfather of the Shu Han warlord Liu Bei.

Liu Yong (Three Kingdoms)

He was a son of Liu Bei, the founding emperor of Shu, and a younger half- brother of Liu Shan, the second Shu emperor.
Empress Liu E
Empress Liu E (劉娥) (died 314), courtesy name Lihua (麗華),
formally Empress Wuxuan (武宣皇后, literally "the martial and responsible empress") was an empress of the Chinese/Xiongnu state Han Zhao.
She was the third wife of Liu Cong (Emperor Zhaowu).
Liu E was the daughter of one of Liu Cong's honored officials, Liu Yin (劉殷), who was described as someone who was willing to point out Liu Cong's faults, but only doing so in private, thus earning the temperamental and impulsive emperor's respect.
She was initially taken as a concubine by him in 312, along with her sister Liu Ying (劉英) and four of her nieces.
This move was opposed by Liu Cong's brother and crown prince Liu Ai (劉乂), who argued it would be a violation of the prohibition against endogamy.
Liu Cong, however, rationalized the move in that Liu Yin was ethnically Han, while he himself was ethnically Xiongnu, and therefore were not of the same ancestor.
Liu E and her sister Liu Ying were both favored by Liu Cong.
Initially, in 312, Liu Cong wanted to appoint Liu Ying empress to replace Empress Huyan, who died earlier that year, but at his mother Empress Dowager Zhang's insistence, he appointed another concubine, Zhang Huiguang empress instead.
Liu Ying died soon thereafter.
In 313, Empress Zhang died.
Liu Cong appointed Liu E empress and wanted to build a palace for her.
His minister Chen Yuanda (陳元達) tried to persuade him that it was overly wasteful, and Liu Cong, in anger, ordered Chen's execution.
However, the new empress interceded, and Chen was spared and further promoted.
For the next year, under Empress Liu's and Chen's advice, Liu Cong was said to have corrected his behavior to some extent.
Empress Liu herself was described as intelligent and kind.
However, she died in 314.
It was said that from that point on, Liu Cong's palace would be thoroughly in a confused state, and Liu Cong's own personal behavior appeared to degenerate after this, without her counsel.

Liu Ying (prince)
Liu Ying  (died 71) was a son of Emperor Guangwu of Han, and half-brother of Emperor Ming of Han.
After becoming Prince of Chu, he was a known supporter of many religions.
In particular, his sponsorship of Buddhism in 65 CE is the first documented case of Buddhist practices in China.
Born to the Lady Xu , a junior consort of Emperor Guangwu, Liu Ying was given the rank of duke in 39 CE, and prince ("wáng") in 41 CE.
The next year he received Chu as his hereditary fiefdom, with his capital at Pengcheng (modern Xuzhou, Jiangsu).
The young Liu Ying seems to have been close to his half-brother Liu Zhuang, the future Emperor Ming.
He is also said to have travelled widely and gained an interest in Huang-Lao Daoism  and Buddhism (literally "Buddha").
After Liu Ying became a prince, he actively supported both religions in the hope of finding a drug of longevity or immortality.
Because of these activities, Liu Ying was suspected of treasonous intrigue and the subject of an imperial edict from Emperor Ming.
The edict, which survives in the "Book of the Later Han" shows that at the time the Buddha was associated in the opinion of the Chinese imperial court with Daoism.
He was treated like a god to whom sacrifices and fastings were held.
Buddhism was described as "humane" and generally accepted by the elite.
Citing Liu Ying's support of Daoism and Buddhism, Henri Maspero noted, "It is a very curious fact that, throughout the whole Han dynasty, Taoism and Buddhism were constantly confused and appeared as a single religion."
Five years later, in 70, Liu Ying's activities were again denounced by high officials and he was accused of plotting against the throne, a crime punishable by death.
Among his supposed crimes was the most heinous of those in Han law: usurping the prerogatives of the emperor, and great improprietry and immorality in his conduct toward the throne .
Nevertheless, Emperor Ming refused to execute Liu Ying, instead demoting him to the rank of a commoner and exiling him to Danyang in the lower Yangtze.
Liu Ying committed suicide upon reaching his destination the next year.
He was buried with the honours of a full marquess .
As part of the purges following Liu Ying's downfall, thousands of his supposed adherents were arrested and implicated each other under torture.
Nevertheless, the Buddhist community at Pengcheng survived.
More than a century later, it was still thriving under the patronage of Ze Rong, a native of Danyang.
A number of Liu Ying's followers may also have followed him to the lower Yangtze and established Buddhist communities there also.
Liu Li (Three Kingdoms)
Liu Li( died May or June 244), courtesy name Fengxiao, was an imperial prince of the state of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period of China.
He was a son of Liu Bei, the founding emperor of Shu, and a younger half- brother of Liu Shan, the second Shu emperor.
