Liu Ming (prince)

Liu Ming (Chinese: 劉明, Liú Míng), Prince of Jichuan (濟川王, Jìchuān Wáng), was a prince of the Han dynasty.

He was the second son and heir of Liu Wu, prince of Liang.

He did not receive all of his father's inheritance; instead, his uncle the emperor Jing divided the realm of Liang into five pieces.

Liu Ming ruled his part of Liang from 144–138 BC.

[1] Liu Ming murdered a military officer when he was seven years old, and the officials of the court requested that Liu Ming be executed; however, the Emperor could not bear to have his own nephew killed, and Liu Ming was made a commoner and banished to the county of Fangling (房陵).
