In The history of China, there have been many faint and incompetent emperors. In the Western Xia Dynasty, there seemed to be more faint and cruel monarchs. Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, grew up in war since childhood, so he also created his brutal character. At the same time, he was very, not only after killing the brother-in-law's family and taking his wife into the harem, but also robbing his son Ning Lingge's fiancée. Therefore, Li Yuanhao was assassinated by his son Ning Lingge and died. As the saying goes, "a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse will punch a hole", and Li Yuanhao's other son, Li Yuzuo, is equally absurd.
Li Yizuo succeeded to the throne
Li Yuanhao's mother, Wuzang, was originally the wife of Li Yuanhao's brother-in-law Ye Li Yu Beg, and because Li Yuanhao was jealous of Ye Li's influence in the dynasty, he killed her husband. Later, Li Yuanhao regretted it and decided to "make up" for his brother-in-law's family, so he put the Wuzang clan into the palace fornication. Empress Nori was furious when she learned of this, so she sent the Muzo clan to the Temple of the Ring Temple. As a result, Li Yuanhao followed the example of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and went to the temple to meet with the Wuzang clan, and also gave birth to a son Li Yuzuo.
Li Yuanhao
After that, Li Yuanhao handed over the state affairs to wuzang's brother Wuzang and took the concubines to the palace of Helan Mountain to enjoy himself. Later, seeing that his daughter-in-law Didn't hide her beautiful looks, Li Yuanhao shamelessly took the Wuzang clan for herself. Ning Lingge's mother was deposed as empress dowager, and his wife was robbed, so he resented his father. In order to monopolize the government, the Wuzang brothers and sisters instigated Ning Lingge to assassinate Li Yuanhao.
There is no hidden queen
Ning Lingge failed to assassinate, cut Li Yuanhao's nose, and himself was executed. But the next day, Li Yuanhao also died of serious injuries. Originally, Li Yuanhao left his will and arranged for his brother Toning Ling to inherit the throne. But he did not hide Pang but said: "Your Majesty has a son, why should he let Wei Ge Ning ling succeed to the throne?" He is neither his majesty's son nor has any military merit, so why should he succeed to the throne?" Therefore, with the strong support of Wuzang Pang, Li Yuzuo succeeded to the throne.
Li Yuzuo destroyed his uncle full of doors
At that time, Li Yuzuo was only 11 months old, so the government was controlled by his mother Empress Wuzang and his uncle Wuzang. Empress Dowager Wuzang was born with a temperament, and after Li Yuanhao's death, she maintained a lover relationship with multiple men. One of her lovers was not accustomed to the style of Empress Wuzang and assassinated Empress Wuzang and her other concubine. After Empress Wuzang's death, in order to continue to control the imperial government, Wuzang False Pang married his daughter to Emperor Li Yuzuo. However, Li Yuzuo was very dissatisfied with his uncle's dictatorship and secretly engaged in several confrontations, but ended in the killing of his confidants.

In the fourth year of the capital (1060), the 13-year-old young emperor Li Yuzuo went to visit his uncle's uncle Wuzang Pang's house and accidentally met his cousin Liang Shi. Liang's young and beautiful eyes were as beautiful as silk, which made Li Yuzuo, a hairy boy, look at it with excitement. After that, he asked Liang to have an affair with him under the pretext of "visiting the empress Dowager Wuzang in the palace". For this matter, Liang Shi's heart was also uneasy. On the one hand, he was overjoyed because the emperor was addicted to his own beauty, and on the other hand, he was afraid of being discovered by his father-in-law. Once things are exposed, it must be her who dies.
In order to fly up the branches and become a phoenix, the Liang clan forced Li Touzuo to act on the pretext that "Pang had not hidden this matter and was plotting with his son to establish a new monarch". Li Yuzuo was already dissatisfied with his uncle's failure to hide and blackmail Pang, and now the Liang incident has become the fuse for the outbreak of contradictions between the two. So he secretly contacted his confidants and used the excuse of "discussing state affairs" to trick his uncle into the palace and kill him. After the death of Wuzang Pang, Li Yuzuo deposed the empress of the Wuzang clan and exterminated his clan. The Liang clan, on the other hand, was made empress.

After Li Yizuo came to power, he promulgated a series of Sinicization policies and concluded a peace treaty with the Song Dynasty. But he died at the age of 21, leaving Xixia to his 7-year-old son, Li Bingchang. And Li Bingchang was born to Liang And Li Yuzuo. Therefore, after Li Yuzuo's death, the government has been controlled by the Liang clan, and the Liang family's mother's family has also replaced the Wuzang clan and become the new upstart in the DPRK.

Liang was Han Chinese, so her rule was met with resentment among many party members. In order to win over the party nobility, she abolished the Sinicization policy promulgated by Li Yuzuo and frequently attacked the Song Dynasty, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties in the Song Dynasty and Western Xia. During his reign, the Western Xia Dynasty was in chaos, the contradictions between the ruling classes intensified, and the common people complained bitterly, which can be called a disaster for the country and the people. It was not until her death 18 years later that Xixia recovered some vitality.
