Keng-Shih-ti, (d. strangled AD 25), also known as the Prince of Huaiyang (淮陽王, the title that Emperor Guangwu (Liu Xiu) gave him in absentia after he was deposed by Chimei forces), courtesy name Shenggong (聖公), was an emperor of the restored Chinese Han Dynasty following the fall of Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty. He is not to be confused with Emperor Guangwu, who founded the succeeding Eastern Han Dynasty. He was viewed as a weak and incompetent ruler, who briefly ruled over an empire willing to let him rule over them, but was unable to keep that empire together. He was eventually deposed by the Chimei and strangled a few months after his defeat.
