After Emperor Zhi was poisoned to death by the powerful official Liang Ji in 146, Liang Ji persuaded his sister, the regent Empress Dowager Liang to make the 14-year-old Liu Zhi, the Marquess of Liwu, who was betrothed to their sister Liang Nüying (梁女瑩), emperor. Emperor Huan has largely been viewed as an emperor who might have had some intelligence but lacked wisdom in governing his empire; and his reign contributed greatly to the downfall of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Emperor Huan's ascension at age 14, Empress Dowager Liang continued to serve as regent. In 150, Empress Dowager Liang announced that she was retiring and returning imperial authority to Emperor Huan. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4456.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4456.txt
