Yang Pu

Yang Pu (Chinese: 楊溥; 900 – January 21, 939), also known by his posthumous name as the Emperor Rui of Yang Wu (楊吳睿帝), was the last ruler of China's Yang Wu dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the only one that claimed the title of emperor. During his reign, the state was in effective control of the regents Xu Wen and Xu Wen's adoptive son and successor Xu Zhigao (Li Bian). In 938, Xu Zhigao forced Yang Pu to yield the throne to him. Xu Zhigao then established the Southern Tang dynasty.
