About this person

Pei Yan, courtesy name Zilong (子隆), posthumous name Zhong (忠), was a Chinese politician of the Tang dynasty, serving as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, as well as the regency of his wife Empress Wu over their sons Emperor Zhongzong and Emperor Ruizong. Pei was well trusted by Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu late in Emperor Gaozong's reign, but drew Empress Wu's ire after he advised her, who was then empress dowager, to end her regency and return power to Emperor Ruizong. In 684, she accused him of treason and executed him.
