In his later years, Emperor Wu of Liang worshiped Buddhism and neglected government affairs, and the "six nobles" in the court had exclusive power. He led the wolf into the house and accepted the rebel general Hou Jing. Eventually, Hou Jing raised troops on the "Qingjun side" and broke through Taicheng to imprison and kill Xiao Yan. The feudal kings of the Southern Liang clan were fighting each other. Chen Ba first led the army to quell the rebellion, and then abolished Liang and established himself on his own. Nanliang, which had been in power for fifty-five years, was destroyed.
