Li Congyi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Li Congyi (Chinese: 李從益) (931[1] – June 23, 947[2][3]), known as the Prince of Xu (許王), was an imperial prince of the Later Tang dynasty of China. He was the youngest son of its second emperor Li Siyuan (Emperor Mingzong). In the confusion of the destruction of the Later Tang's successor state, the Later Jin dynasty, he was forced into claiming imperial title by Xiao Han, a general of the Liao dynasty (whose forces had destroyed the Later Jin), and was subsequently killed by Liu Zhiyuan, the founder of the succeeding Later Han dynasty.
