Rong, Prince of An. Earlier, Worthy Consort Yang had won favour with Wenzong. In his later years, when the emperor was often ill, the consort secretly asked that the prince be made heir, quietly preparing a safe place for herself. The emperor consulted the chief minister Li Jue, who said it would not do, and the matter was dropped. When the emperor died and Qiu Shiliang set up Wuzong, wishing to make much of his own merit, he exposed how Rong had once been meant to become Crown Prince, and had him killed. Edit
