李嚴
Later in the year, Emperor Yizong became critically ill. With his not having designated an heir, the eunuchs Liu Xingshen () and Han Wenyue () supported his 11-year-old son Li Yan the Prince of Pu as his heir. Liu and Han had an edict issued in Emperor Yizong's name creating Li Yan crown prince. Emperor Yizong died the next day, and Li Yan took the throne (as Emperor Xizong).
