Li Baozhen
At the time that Li Baozhen was ill, his son Li Jian () plotted with Li Baozhen's subordinate Lu Huichang () and nephew Yuan Zhongjing () for Li Jian to take over Zhaoyi. After Li Baozhen's death, Yuan acted as if Li Baozhen were still alive and forged an order from Li Baozhen transferring command to Li Jian. Initially, Li Baozhen's deputy Li Shuo () and other subordinates agreed. Lu then forged a petition from Li Baozhen requesting Emperor Dezong to allow Li Jian to succeed Li Baozhen. Emperor Dezong, already hearing rumors that Li Baozhen had died, sent the eunuch Diwu Shoujin () to Zhaoyi, ordering that the command be transferred to Li Baozhen's subordinate Wang Yan'gui (). When Li Jian considered resisting, the other officers would not go along with him, and he gave up the command and went to Luoyang per Emperor Dezong's orders.
