Murong Wei
Murong Wei was the last emperor of Former Yan, succeeding his father Murong Jun as a child in 360. After the regent Murong Ke died, court jealousy drove the general Murong Chui to Former Qin. In 370 the Qin chancellor Wang Meng took Ye and captured Murong Wei, ending the state. He was later killed after a plot against Qin in Chang'an.
