In autumn of 23, the Xin dynasty's capital Chang'an fell, following losses to forces of agrarian rebels – the Red Eyebrows – which were capitalized upon by an army organized and led by members of the formerly-ruling Liu, who were seeking to re-establish the Han dynasty. Emperor Wang Mang died in the battle for the main palace, Weiyang Palace. It is not known what happened to Empress Shi, although it is known that her father, Shi Chen, surrendered to the Han forces and was executed.
