That night, they took their troops into the palace and assassinated Emperor Taizu, but pretending that Emperor Taizu was still alive, Zhu Yougui sent an order in Emperor Taizu's name, delivered by the palace attendant Ding Zhaopu (<span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">丁昭溥</span></span>) to Zhu Youzhen, who was then the commander of the imperial guards at Daliang, ordering Zhu Youzhen to kill Zhu Youwen. Zhu Youzhen subsequently carried out the order. Zhu Yougui then blamed the assassination on Zhu Youwen and took the throne. After Zhu Youzhen rose against Zhu Yougui in 913 and took the throne (after Zhu Yougui, believing the situation to be hopeless, committed suicide), he publicly rehabilitated Zhu Youwen and restored
