Wu Jing died in office in 203 during the reign of Emperor Xian.

Zhang kidnapped the emperor and his brother, the future Emperor Xian.

She was the second wife of Emperor Xian.

Thus, Emperor Xian sent out emissaries to warlords, asking for help; but only a few of them replied with actual assistance.

The prince became historically known as Emperor Xian.

Emperor Xian had been a political figurehead since 189, with no control over the actions of the various warlords controlling their respective territories.

She was the first wife of Emperor Xian, the last emperor of the dynasty.

Emperor Xian was hesitant, and Cao sent his forces into the palace to force the issue.

Emperor Xian was not, but his status as a puppet was by then fully exposed.

Emperor Xian was merely a figurehead ruler.
