Emperor He of Southern Qi ((南)齊和帝) (488 – 2 May 502;[1] r. 14 April 501[2]– 20 April 502[3]), personal name Xiao Baorong (蕭寶融), courtesy name Zhizhao (智昭), was the last emperor of the Chinese Southern Qi dynasty.
His mother was Xiao Luan's wife Marchioness Liu Huiduan (劉惠端), who died the following year (489).
[7] Xiao Baojuan was an arbitrary and violent ruler, and he often executed high-level officials based on his perception of them as threats to his rule.
Xiao Baojuan's forces, commanded by the generals Wang Zhenguo (王珍國) and Zhang Ji (張稷) were initially able to hold the defenses.
However, Xiao Baojuan's associates and henchmen then told him that they believed that the reason why Jiankang remained under siege was that Wang and Zhang were not fighting with all their strength—which led Wang and Zhang to be apprehensive, and they assassinated Xiao Baojuan and surrendered.
Yan Jianyuan (Chinese: 顏見遠) (fl.480s - early May 502[14]) was a native of Linyi, Langya Commandery (now Shandong Province).
He was on the staff of Xiao Baorong, and died several days later due to a hunger strike and anger.
