History edit
Liu Xi was the son Liu Yao, Emperor of Former Zhao, and of Empress Xianwen. He was similarly named to his brother Liu Xi (Chinese: 劉熙; pinyin: Liú Xī), albeit with a different second character/ tone on his name's second syllable (Chinese: 襲; pinyin: Xí). In 319, his mother was established as Empress, his nearly-namesake brother Liu Xi established as crown prince,[2] his brother Liu Chan created as Prince of Taiyuan,[3] and he as Prince of Changle.[4]
Former Zhao ended in 329, and his brother the crown prince Liu Xi was defeated and killed.[5]
