Who was Gao Yun?
Gao Yun, at one time Murong Yun, courtesy name Ziyu, formally Emperor Huiyi of / Yan, was an emperor who, depending on the historian's characterization, was either the last emperor of the Xianbei state Later Yan, or the first emperor of its succeeding state Northern Yan. He was ethnically Korean and a descendant of the royal house of Goguryeo, whose ancestors were captured by Former Yan. He was adopted into the Later Yan imperial house after helping the emperor Murong Bao put down a rebellion by Murong Bao's son Murong Hui. He became emperor after the people rebelled against the despotic rule of his adoptive uncle Murong Xi, and during his reign, he used the title "Heavenly Prince". In 409, he was assassinated, and after a disturbance, was replaced by his ethnic Han chinese general Feng Ba.
