Liu Xu, the fifth son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was granted the title of King Guangling. Because he failed to inherit the throne, he held a grudge against his younger brother Liu Fuling and asked the witch to curse emperor Zhao for his early death. Later, he used the same method to curse Liu He and Liu Xun, and conspired with Liu Yanshou to usurp the throne. Liu Xu's son Liu Bao, like his father, has done many bad things.
