Fú Jiān

Fú Jiān (337–385), courtesy name Yonggu or Wenyu, formally Emperor Xuanzhao of (Former) Qin, is an emperor (who, however, uses the title "Heavenly Prince" (Tian Wang) during his regn) of the Chinese/Di state Former Qin, under whose rule (assisted by his able prime minister Wang Meng) the Former Qin state reaches its greatest glory—destroying Former Yan, Former Liang, and Dai and seizing Jin's Yi Province (modern Sichuan and Chongqing), posturing to destroy Jin as well to unite China, until he is repelled at the Battle of Fei River in 383.

For a variety of reasons, the Former Qin state soon collapses after this defeat, and Fú Jiān himself is killed by his former subordinate, Yao Chang the founding emperor of Later Qin, in 385.
