Biography

Honoured Lady Zhang was Emperor Xiaowu of Jin's favourite concubine. She had no children and the emperor's devotion to her (as well as Honoured Lady Zhang's jealous nature) has been blamed for his failure to appoint another empress after the death of Empress Wang, as well as his lack of children by other concubines.[2] The emperor spent so much time with Honoured Lady Zhang that it reportedly became difficult for outsiders to gain an audience with him.[3]

Murder of Emperor Xiaowu

The Book of Jin records that in 396, Honoured Lady Zhang was approximately 30 years old (by East Asian reckoning). Whilst she was drinking with the emperor one evening, he told her that he should discard her based on her age.[4] Incensed, Honoured Lady Zhang went to bed with the emperor and killed him whilst he slept.[1] Other written sources record that the emperor's comment was made in jest.[5] After the murder, Honoured Lady Zhang bribed various people to declare that the emperor died in his sleep.[5][3]
