Its territory, acquired through the military campaigns of its early rulers, was greater than that of the Han period, and it rivalled that of the later Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. In 907 the Tang Dynasty was ended when Zhu Wen, now a military governor, deposed the last emperor of Tang, Emperor Ai of Tang, and took the throne for himself (known posthumously as Emperor Taizu of Later Liang). He established the Later Liang Dynasty, which inaugurated the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period. A year later the deposed Emperor Ai was poisoned to death by Zhu Wen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coin is unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSKU   x12913-w49014\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NumisMallstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51303642038587,"sku":"x4663-61170","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0447\/1750\/6710\/files\/w61170.jpg?v=1780276891","url":"https:\/\/www.numismall.com\/products\/scarce-kai-yuan-cash-w-crescent-left-middle-issue-c-713-844-ad-tang-china-h14-4ab","provider":"NumisMall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
