Liu Jingxian

Liu Jingxian (劉景先) (died 689), né Liu Qixian (劉齊賢), was an official of the Chinese dynasty Tang Dynasty, serving as chancellor late in the reign of Emperor Gaozong and the subsequent regency of Emperor Gaozong's wife Empress Dowager Wu (later known as Wu Zetian) over their sons Emperor Zhongzong and Emperor Ruizong. In 684, he offended Empress Dowager Wu by defending fellow chancellor Pei Yan against charges of treason and was arrested and then exiled. He was rearrested in 689 and committed suicide by hanging.
