Fu Sheng (Chinese: 苻生; 335–357), originally named Pu Sheng (蒲生), courtesy name Changsheng (長生), also known by his posthumous name as the Prince Li of Yue (越厲王), was the second emperor of the Di-led Former Qin dynasty of China.[1][2] He was the son of Former Qin's founding emperor Fu Jiàn (Emperor Jingming), and was a violent, arbitrary, and cruel ruler, and after ruling for only two years was overthrown by his cousin Fu Jiān (Emperor Xuanzhao) in a coup and executed, and therefore was not posthumously recognized as an emperor during the remainder of the Former Qin's rule.
