Zheng Zhu
Wang Shoucheng's death, however, was only a small part of Emperor Wenzong's planning with Zheng Zhu and Li Xun — they planned to use the occasion of Wang's funeral to gather the eunuchs, and then have Zheng's troops (as Zheng was then the military governor ("Jiedushi") of Fengxiang Circuit) slaughter them. (Unknown to Zheng and Emperor Wenzong, Li Xun had, by this point, grown jealous of Zheng as well, and so was instead gathering troops commanded by his associates Guo Xingyu (), Wang Fan (), Luo Liyan (), Han Yue (), and Li Xiaoben () to carry out the slaughter; he planned to, after the slaughter, kill Zheng as well.)
