Lü Shao

Lü Shao (Chinese: 呂紹; died 400), courtesy name Yongye (永業), also known by his posthumous name as the Prince Yin of Later Liang (後涼隱王), was briefly the second ruler of the Di-led Later Liang dynasty of China, ruling as its Heavenly King.

When Lü Guang founded Later Liang in 386 (after he had taken over Liang Province (涼州, modern central and western Gansu after a return for a military campaign in central Asia on Former Qin's behalf), Lü Shao and Lü Guang's wife Lady Shi were not with him—they had remained in the Former Qin capital Chang'an during Lü Guang's campaign, and had fled to Chouchi when Chang'an subsequently fell to Western Yan in 385.

He ordered Lü Shao to take the throne as Heavenly King, while he himself claimed the title of retired emperor.

At night, then, Lü Zuan led his personal guards to attack the palace.

Lü Shao fled to a secondary palace and committed suicide.
