The reference to "Wendi" is ambiguous; one possible intent might be to Emperor Wen of Han.

Explanation:

Emperor Wen of Han was appointed emperor by officials following a coup d'etat against the Lu clan in 180 BC. His family was viewed as being humble and tolerant as opposed to the earlier excesses of the Lu clan.
