| Emperor Huan [Liu Chih] | 桓帝[刘志] | |
| Emperor Huan of the Han. Destroyed the Liang family, but empowered the eunuchs. | ||

||
| Emperor Ling [Liu Hong] | 靈帝[劉宏] | |
| Emperor Ling [Liu Hung] | 灵帝[刘宏] | |
| Emperor Ling of Han (AD 156–189). Ruled through the Yellow Turban Rebellion. | ||

| Emperor Shao [Liu Pien] | 少帝[刘辩] | |

Notes: Called by the name ‘Prince of Chenliu’ frequently in novel translations. In Chinese the name of the emperor comes before the use of the word emperor hence Xian (the name) Di (emperor). In this case, Emperor Xian also has a style name attached to his normal name, therefore if you were addressing him as emperor you would say Xian Di, if you knew his name and were close you may use Liu Xie, or if you wanted his style name you’d call him Liu Bohe. |

Notes: ‘Empress Zhang’ or ‘Lady Zhang’ in the novel and other historic sources, she has been given a fictional personality by Koei under the name ‘Zhang Xingcai’ or simply ‘Xing Cai’. Both names refer to the same person, but the story given her in Koei games is fictional. I’ve recorded this as the English translation presents itself (so, Huanghou Zhang (empress Zhang) and Xing1cai3 as her given name) |

Notes: Empress Zhen is frequently called Zhen Ji, as she is named by Koei. Referenced elsewhere as Zhen Luo (甄洛) or Empress Wenzhao (文昭皇后). I’ve recorded this as Huang2hou4 Zhen1 (Empress Zhen), with Ji1 as her given name. To say her name as Koei suggests, use Zhen (surname) and Ji1 (given name) together. |
