Surname Zhu, a native of Songzhou. His original name was Wen. During the reign of Emperor Xizong of Tang, he followed Huang Chao in rebellion. Huang Chao appointed Wen as the Defense Commissioner of Tongzhou. Wen rebelled against Huang Chao and submitted to Tang. The Son of Heaven bestowed upon him the name Quanzhong and appointed him Military Commissioner of the Xuanwu Army. In the third year of Guanghua under Emperor Zhaozong, his title was advanced to King of Liang. In the third month of the fourth year of Tianyou under Emperor Ai, he accepted the abdication from Tang, changed his name to Huang, donned the imperial robes and crown, and ascended the imperial throne. He changed the dynastic title to Liang. He was on the throne for six years and died at the age of sixty-one. He made Bianzhou the Kaifeng Superior Prefecture and designated it the Eastern Capital. He made the former Eastern Capital (which is Luoyang) the Western Capital. At this time, only Hedong, Fengxiang, and Huainan retained the Tianyou reign era. Western Shu retained Tianfu, and soon also declared its own independence, changing its reign era to Wucheng. All the rest received Liang's calendar, declared themselves subjects, and presented tribute. Kaiping: four [years]; Qianhua: two [years].
