shi jingtang -lrb- 石敬瑭 -rrb- -lrb- 30 march 892 -- 28 july 942 -rrb- , also known by his temple name gaozu -lrb- 高祖 -rrb- , was the founding emperor of imperial china 's short-lived later jin during the five dynasties and ten kingdoms period , reigning from 936 until his death .
likely of shatuo descent ethnically , he was an important military general for the later tang before rebelling in 936 .
to overthrow later tang he enlisted the help of the khitan-ruled liao state , not only humiliating himself as emperor taizong of liao 's son but also yielding the strategically crucial sixteen prefectures to liao after his rise to power -- an event that would shape the chinese political landscape for the next 200 years .
