    I am JiRu, I was a trusted personal servant of Emperor Gaozu, the founder of China's Han dynasty. Louis Crompton claims that I was Gaozu's pillow companion, or homosexual lover, and that I had more access to the emperor than did ministers. I was documented by Sima Qian in the Records of the Grand Historian.
