About Murong Xiang
Murong Xiang, Xianbei name Pulin (普隣), was a duke of China's Xianbei-led Later Yan dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. In 397, following the withdrawal of Murong Bao from the capital of Zhongshan, the people of Zhongshan elected Murong Xiang as their leader to defend themselves during the Northern Wei siege. Murong Xiang held out long enough for Wei to retreat due to supply issues, and soon after he declared himself Emperor of Yan, acting as a pretender to the Yan throne. Depicted as a cruel and paranoid ruler, Murong Xiang's reign only lasted two months before he was assassinated and replaced by his cousin, Murong Lin.
