Xiao Zhi (Tang dynasty)

Xiao Zhi (蕭寘) (died 865) was an official of the Chinese dynasty Tang dynasty, who briefly served as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Yizong.

His family descended from the imperial house of Liang dynasty and had a number of members who served as chancellor during Tang dynasty, including his great-great-grandfather Xiao Song and his grandfather Xiao Fu.

He had no notable accomplishments, and so history omits his biography.In any case, it is known that as of 864, Xiao Zhi was serving as the deputy minister of defense (兵部侍郎, Bingbu Shilang) and the director of taxation, when Emperor Yizong gave him the designation Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (同中書門下平章事), making him a chancellor de facto.

[3] Xiao Zhi's son Xiao Gou later served as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Yizong's son Emperor Xizong.
