An Qingxu
8th-century Chinese nobility / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Qingxu (安慶緒) (730s – 10 April 759[2]), né An Renzhi (安仁執), was a son of An Lushan, a general of the Chinese Tang dynasty who rebelled and took the imperial title, and then established his own state of Yan. An Qingxu served as the Prince of Jin in 756–757, and later killed his father and took the imperial title for himself. He was eventually defeated by Tang forces and cornered at Yecheng in present-day Hebei. After An Lushan's general Shi Siming lifted the siege, An Qingxu met Shi to thank him, but Shi arrested and executed him.
