Le Sihui

Who was Le Sihui?

Le Sihui was an official during Wu Zetian's Zhou Dynasty, briefly serving as chancellor.

It is not known when Le Sihui was born. His father Le Yanwei served as chancellor during the reign of Wu Zetian's husband Emperor Gaozong of Tang. In 691, after Wu Zetian had herself assumed the title of "emperor" in 690, Le Sihui was Luantai Shilang, the deputy head of the examination bureau of government, when Wu Zetian gave him the designation of Tong Fengge Luantai Pingzhangshi, making him a chancellor de facto. About four months later, however, for reasons lost to history, he was executed.
