Emperor Taejo of Zhen (Zhenian: 진제국 태조황제), birth name Shen Lien (Zhenian: 深燕/심연), was the first emperor of the Zhen dynasty. As the first ruler to have ever unified all of Zhenia since the fall of the Liang dynasty, Emperor Taejo laid the fundamentals of the centuries of Zhen rule across modern-day Zhenia and vicinity, while also leading conquests beyond the borders of the Zhenian heartland.
