Question: Who is the father-in-law of Empress Liu E?

Knowledge 1: 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. [SEP] Knowledge 2: Liu Cong (Han Zhao)
Liu Cong (died 318), courtesy name Xuanming, nickname Zai, formally Emperor Zhaowu of Han (Zhao), was an emperor of the Xiongnu state Han Zhao.He captured two subsequent Chinese emperors, and executed them back in Pingyang after forcing them to act as cupbearers.These raids finally forced the Chinese to move their capital from Luoyang to Nanjing.Liu Cong's reign was one filled with contradictions.He was a ruler who was obviously intelligent and capable of logical reasoning, and during his father Liu Yuan's reign, he was a capable general as well.On the other hand, as his reign progressed, he became increasingly cruel, unstable, extravagant, and unable to listen to proper advice.Toward the end of his reign, any official who dared to speak against his actions faced potential death.During his reign, both he and the Han Zhao state displayed great potential, as Han Zhao expanded from a small state occupying modern southern Shanxi to encompassing nearly all of modern Shanxi, Shaanxi, eastern Gansu, and significant portions of Shandong, Hebei, and Henan—although the eastern half of the empire was under the control of the general Shi Le and arguably only nominally under Han Zhao's rule.Liu Cong and his state would never realize their potential.
