Zhu Youzhen
Zhu Zhen () (20 October 888 – 18 November 923), often referred to in traditional histories as
Emperor Mo of Later Liang (後梁末帝, "last emperor") and sometimes by his princely title
Prince of Jun (均王), né
Zhu Youzhen (朱友貞), known as
Zhu Huang (朱鍠) from 913 to 915, was the third and last
emperor of China's
Later Liang dynasty during the
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, ruling from 913 to 923. He ordered his general Huangfu Lin (皇甫麟) to kill him in 923 when
Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang (Li Cunxu), the emperor of Later Liang's enemy
Later Tang to the north, was on the cusp of capturing the Later Liang capital
Daliang. His death marked the end of Later Liang, which was to be the longest among the Five Dynasties. Despite his ten-year reign being the longest of all the Five Dynasties emperors (if one does not count Li Cunxu's reign as the Prince of Jin prior to taking imperial title) sources on his era are relatively scarce, as many Later Liang records were destroyed following the Later Tang conquest of the Later Liang (as the Later Tang viewed the Later Liang as an illegitimate regime).
