Wang Yanhan

Wang Yanhan (Chinese: 王延翰) (died January 14, 927), courtesy name Ziyi (子逸), also known by his posthumous name as the King Si of Min (閩嗣王), was a ruler of Min during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of China. He ruled briefly after the death of his father Wang Shenzhi (Prince Zhongyi) without a regal title, but later declared himself king. Just two months after declaring himself king, he was overthrown and killed in a revolt by his adoptive brother Wang Yanbing and younger biological brother Wang Yanjun. Wang Yanjun took over the state thereafter.
