Gao Baoxu (924–962), courtesy name Xinggong (省躬), was the fourth ruler of Jingnan (r. 960–962). He was the tenth son of Jingnan's second king Gao Conghui, and the younger brother of Jingnan's third king Gao Baorong.

Gao Baoxu has been described as a profligate and licentious ruler. He would summon prostitutes and muscular soldiers to his palace for group orgies in broad daylight, while he and his concubines watched from behind a curtain. Wasteful construction projects also caused widespread resentment among the population and the army. He cared little about governance, and Sun Guangxian's advice largely fell on deaf ears. He became critically ill 2 years into his reign, and on his death bed he decided to pass the throne to his nephew, Gao Baorong's son Gao Jichong, after consulting Liang Yansi (梁延嗣).

高保勗（924年 - 962年），字省躬，五代時期荊南君主（荊南節度使）。為高從誨之第十子，高保融之弟。高保勗幼時為高從誨所喜愛，高從誨因事盛怒，見到高保勗必釋然而笑，是故百姓稱之為「萬事休」。

宋太祖建隆元年（960年），高保融因病去世，其子高繼沖年紀尚小，因此遺命高保勗繼位，總判內外軍馬事。不久，即為宋任命為荊南節度使。

高保勗少時多病，體態瘦弱，但頗有治事之才。然而繼位後，放縱荒淫而沒有節制，白天召娼妓至官府，而挑選強壯的士兵，命其隨便調戲淫謔，然後自己再和姬妾一同觀賞做為娛樂。又喜歡營造亭台樓閣，花費人力物力無數，而不理國政，人民都很不滿。

建隆三年（962年），高保勗因病去世，被宋朝贈侍中。遺命其姪即高保融之子高繼沖嗣位。

高保勗去世後數月，南平即為宋所滅，有附會者即以其綽號「萬事休」為預兆。
