王昶
Wang Chang had long been jealous of the good reputations that his uncles Wang Yanwu () and Wang Yanwang () had. In 939, the sorcerer Lin Xing (), who had previous grudges with Wang Yanwu, falsely reported to Wang Chang that a god had reported that Wang Yanwu and Wang Yanwang were about to rebel. Without further investigation, Wang Chang had Wang Yanwu, Wang Yanwang, and their five sons killed. Believing in Chen Shouyuan's words, he built a temple dedicated to the Three Pure Ones inside the palace. He had the affairs of state decided by whatever Lin indicated that the gods decreed. Fearing the fact that Wang Jiyan was much supported by the soldiers, he relieved Wang Jiyan of his command and ordered him to change his name to Wang Jiyu (), replacing him with Wang Jirong. Not long after, realizing that Lin had been deluding him, he exiled Lin.
