Ai di ascended the throne at the age of 13 after his father, the Zhaozong emperor was murdered by Zhu Wen in 904. Under Zhu Wen's regency, Ai di was all but a puppet emperor. In 907, seeing the timing was ripe, Zhu Wen executed all the remaining handful of ministers still loyal to the imperial Li family and forced Ai di to abdicate in favour of Zhu Wen. Ai di himself was demoted to Ji Yin Wang (a prince) whilst Zhu Wen proclaimed the Later Liang Dynasty thus ending 290 years of rule by the Tang dynasty. In 908 , Ai di was poisoned to death by Zhu Wen. He was only 17.
