I was thinking of Emperor Xuanzong, who abolished it in 747, but Wikipedia also lists Emperor Shōmu of Japan as an earlier example in 724. But the source to both is some book I don't own, and most websites don't seem to mention anything about that, so this other website on Tang Emperor Xuanzong will have to do.
