Ashina Huseluo (693-704) — was a puppet khagan set up by Wu Zetian during the Zhou dynasty in China.
Life
Ashina Huseluo was son of Ashina Buzhen who died in 667. His original title was Böri shad (歩利設). His youth saw Tang influence decline in favor of Tibetan Empire in Central Asia, thus he couldn't rule his ancestral lands and tribes. However, in 685 Wu Zetian created him Jiwangjue Khagan and Mengchi Protector-General in order to strengthen the rule in west.
In 690, he was created Jiezhong Shizhu Khagan (Chinese: 竭忠事主可汗; literally: "Khagan who devoted his loyalty to his emperor") for his valiant fights against Tibetan Empire and Second Turkic Khaganate. Reportedly he was harsh and ruthless towards his subjects.
After Ashina Tuizi's rebellion he was sent again to Suiye in 700, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Pingxi Force (平西軍大総管). However, after rise of Wuzhile (chief of Turgesh), he did not dare to come back to Western Region again.
He died in 704, Changan and was succeeded by Ashina Huaidao.
