ill, he tried to summon Xie back to the capital to serve as Zhang Yaoling's regent, but the order was seized by Zhang Zuo and Zhao and never announced. Era name? Most historical sources indicate that Zhang, like his grandfather Zhang Shi, his granduncle Zhang Mao, and his father Zhang Jun, continued to use Emperor Min of Jin's era name Jianxing (both to show continued allegiance to Jin and to distance himself from Emperor Yuan of Jin and his line) but some sources indicate that he changed era name to Yongle (永樂 yǒng lè 346–353). A current theory is that his era name was used internally while the Jianxing era name was used when communicating with other states. After Zhang's death, Zhang Zuo became regent, and in early 354 usurped the title from Zhang Yaoling. Personal Zhang's wife was Princess Pei. Zhang's major concubine was Lady Guo, likely mother of Zhang Xuanjing. Zhang's children are Zhang Yaoling (Duke Ai) and Zhang Xuanjing, Duke Jingdao. In 353, Zhang's wife was executed by Zhang Zuo. In 353 Zhang died after a period of illness. Zhang was succeeded by Zhang Yaoling, under the title Duke of Xiping.
