Yuan Ang

Yuan Ang (Chinese: , ''Yuán Àng''; died 148 BC) was a Han minister who served the emperors Wen and Jing. His biography appears in the ''Records of the Grand Historian'' and a parallel one is included in the ''Book of Han''. During the Rebellion of the Seven States, he had advised Emperor Jing to execute Chao Cuo, with whom he was at loggerheads with.

He was assassinated in 148 BC when his suggestions irritated Emperor Jing's powerful brother Liu Wu, the Prince of Liang, by assassins sent by Prince Wu. Yuan had advised against making Prince Wu Emperor Jing's successor. Provided by Wikipedia
