元稹
Huan Wen left the north humiliated by his greatest defeat at Fangtou. He was quick to blame Yuan Zhen for not securing his supply route in time, leading to Yuan Zhen's Rebellion in 370. The failure of his northern expeditions prevented him from claiming the nine bestowments. Dissatisfied with his fate, Huan Wen made one last attempt at seizing power by forcing Emperor Fei to abdicate through slander in 371. He was successful at first, replacing the emperor with Sima Yu (Emperor Jianwen of Jin) but the efforts of Xie An and Wang Tanzhi stopped him from furthering his authority. Huan Wen died in 373, never fulfilling his dreams of becoming emperor.
