Yang Shihou
Later in 913, Zhu Yougui's brother Zhu Youzhen the Prince of Jun killed him in a coup and became the new Later Liang emperor (changing his name to Zhu Zhen), and it was said that he trusted Liu Xun even more than Zhu Yougui did. In 914, he recalled Liu from Yongping and made him the mayor of Kaifeng (which Zhu Zhen made the capital), while still maintaining a military governorship — albeit an honorary one, as the military governor of Zhennan Circuit (鎮南, headquartered in modern Nanchang, Jiangxi) as Zhennan then was ruled by Later Liang's rival Wu. With Jin thereafter making an incursion into Later Liang territory, Zhu Zhen stationed Liu at the northern frontier to assist Yang Shihou in defending against Jin, which then withdrew its army.
