Emperor Fei of Western Wei
Yuan Qin (Chinese: 元欽), known in historiography as Emperor Fei of Western Wei ((西)魏廢帝; lit. "deposed") (died May or June 554), was an emperor of China's Xianbei-led Western Wei dynasty. He, even more so than his father Emperor Wen, held little actual power in the face of overwhelming control of power by the paramount general Yuwen Tai. In 554, he tried to plot to have Yuwen killed, but his plot was discovered, and Yuwen deposed him, and soon had him killed.
