Who is Emperor Jing of Western Liang?

Emperor Jing of Western Liang, personal name Xiao Cong, courtesy name Wenwen, known during Sui Dynasty as the Duke of Ju then Duke of Liang, was the final emperor of the Chinese Liang Dynasty. As he and his father Emperor Ming heavily relied on the military support of Sui Dynasty, most traditional historians did not consider them true emperors of Liang. In 587, after Emperor Jing's uncle Xiao Yan and brother Xiao Huan, surrendered to Chen Dynasty after suspecting Sui intentions, Emperor Wen of Sui abolished Liang, directly seized the Liang territory, and made Emperor Jing one of his officials, ending Liang.
