Yang Shihou
Zhu Zhen created Yang Shihou the Prince of Ye and gave him the honorary chancellor title "Zhongshu Ling" (); he further showed Yang respect by not referring to him by name, but only by his offices. It was said that from this point on, Yang became extremely arrogant, refusing to submit revenues to the Later Liang imperial government any more and building an elite Yinqiang Xiaojie Corps (), wanting to again build Tianxiong into an effective independent realm.
