齊悼惠王子，前後凡九人為王：太子襄為齊哀王，次子章為城陽景王，興居為濟北王，將閭為齊王，志為濟北王，辟光為濟南王，賢為菑川王，卬為膠西王，雄渠為膠東王。

齊哀王襄，孝惠六年嗣立。
Liu Xiang, Prince Ai of Qi, succeeded in the sixth year of Emperor Hui's reign.
明年，哀王弟章入宿衛於漢，高后封為朱虛侯，以呂祿女妻之。
The next year Liu Zhang, the prince's younger brother, entered guard service at the Han court; Empress Dowager Lü enfeoffed him as Marquis of Zhuxu and married him to Lü Lu's daughter.
章以呂祿女為婦，知其謀，乃使人陰出告其兄齊王，欲令發兵西，朱虛侯、東牟侯欲從中與大臣為內應，以誅諸呂，因立齊王為帝。
Because Zhang was married to Lü Lu's daughter, he learned of the conspiracy and secretly warned his brother, the king of Qi, urging him to march west while he and his cousin, the Marquis of Dongmou, coordinated with loyal ministers inside the capital to extirpate the Lü and set the king of Qi on the throne.
