The Latter Deposed Emperor of Liu Song ((劉)宋後廢帝, also known as Emperor Houfei; 1 March 463[2] – 1 August 477[3]), also known by his posthumously demoted title of Prince of Cangwu (蒼梧王), personal name Liu Yu (劉昱), courtesy name Derong (德融), childhood name Huizhen (慧震), was an emperor of the Liu Song dynasty of China.
During his brief reign as a boy emperor, he showed a knack for violence and arbitrariness, and in 477 he was killed by his general Xiao Daocheng, who made Emperor Houfei's brother Liu Zhun emperor but seized the throne in 479, ending Liu Song and starting Southern Qi.
