Around new year 827, Emperor Jingzong was assassinated, and Emperor Jingzong's younger brother Li Ang the Prince of Jiang became emperor (as Emperor Wenzong).[5] Emperor Wenzong favored Li Pu greatly because he saw Li Pu as careful and obedient. He also wanted to have Li Pu serve as his heir.[6] Li Pu died in 828, however, and Emperor Wenzong was greatly saddened, such that even after he had a son (Li Yong) he did not create Li Yong crown prince until 832.[5][6] He posthumously honored Li Pu as a crown prince.[5]
