Xiahou Xuan
Xiahou Xuan (209–254), courtesy name Taichu, was an official and military general of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of China.
Family background.
Xiahou Xuan was the son of Xiahou Shang. His mother was Princess Deyang (德陽鄉主; a sister of Cao Zhen), and thus Xiahou Xuan was close to Cao Shuang's faction. Xiahou Xuan had a sister Xiahou Hui, the wife of Sima Shi. One of Xiahou Xuan's daughters became the wife of He Jiao
Sima Yi's sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao would not tolerate his existence for long, and said that Xu Yun's words showed nothing but wishful thinking. Sima Shi succeeded his father as the regent of Wei and continued to monopolise power.
Life Li Feng's scheme and Xiahou Xuan's death.
Around 254, Li Feng, who held the position of Prefect of the Palace Writers (中書令) in the Wei government, secretly plotted to overthrow and assassinate Sima Shi. He also wanted Xiahou Xuan to replace Sima Shi
