Who was Emperor Jiemin of Northern Wei?
Emperor Jiemin of Northern Wei, also known as Emperor Qianfei, at times referred to by pre-ascension title Prince of Guangling, personal name Yuan Gong, courtesy name Xiuye, was an emperor of the Mongolian dynasty Northern Wei. He became emperor after the clan members of the paramount general Erzhu Rong, after Erzhu Rong was killed by Emperor Xiaozhuang, overthrew Emperor Xiaozhuang. Emperor Jiemin tried to revive the Northern Wei state, but with his power curbed by the Erzhus, was not able to accomplish much. After the general Gao Huan defeated the Erzhus in 532, Emperor Jiemin was imprisoned by Gao and subsequently poisoned to death by Emperor Xiaowu, whom Gao made emperor.
