Le Sihui
Le Sihui (Script error: No such module "Lang".) (died 691) 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 (Script error: No such module "Lang".), the deputy head of the examination bureau of government (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Luantai), when Wu Zetian gave him the designation of Tong Fengge Luantai Pingzhangshi (Script error: No such module "Lang".), making him a chancellor de facto. About four months later, however, for reasons lost to history, he was executed. (His son, who was not yet 10 years old and whose name is lost to history, was made a servant at the ministry of agriculture, and in 692 was instrumental in submitting a petition to persuade Wu Zetian to release the officials Ren Zhigu, Di Renjie, Pei Xingben, Cui Xuanli (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Lu Xian (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Wei Yuanzhong, and Li Sizhen (Script error: No such module "Lang".) after they had been arrested on suspicion of treason.)
