Same tomb as Duncan posted about a week ago (http://soa.org.uk/sm/index.php?topic=4925.0). :)

The Eastern Han emperors tended to be a short-lived bunch, which probably did little for stability.

I want to know whether he was any more murderous that the average for Chinese Emperors?
I would have thought Qin Shi Huang set a high bar in this respect
