Yuan Hao was the leader of the Dangxiang clan, he established the Western Xia regime, and in the course of the war with the Northern Song Dynasty, he won three battles and three victories, breaking the Song army. Later, Western Xia went to war with the Liao state, and Yuan Hao defeated 100,000 Liao troops and almost captured the emperor of the Liao state alive. In that era, Yuan Hao was the most courageous general in the world, and he could be called an invincible hand that fought all over the world! However, Yuan Hao died very badly, and was actually injured by his own son, seriously injured and died, what is the matter?
This has to start from Yuanhao's marriage! In 1038, Yuan Hao was proclaimed emperor, and "Concubine Norishi was made Empress Xiancheng". For the Empress Ye Li clan, Yuan Hao should be in awe of the three points, it turns out that the Ye Li clan is not only very good-looking, long-statured, beautiful, but also very intelligent, "wise and strategic", more importantly, the two brothers of the Ye Li clan (one said from the father) Ye Li Yu Beg, Ye Li WangRong is Yuan Hao's right and left arm, the minister of the humerus.
However, with the end of the Song-Xia War and the Xia-Liao War, Yuan Hao was overjoyed, lost his enterprising ambition, and his personality became very suspicious. Yuanhao actually killed the general Ye Li Yu Beg, and after the empress Ye Li heard the news, she cried to Yuan Hao that "the brothers are not guilty". Yuanhao also regretted it very much, so he ordered someone to look for no one who was not killed in the Yeli family, and as a result, he found Yeli's young wife, Wuzang, and Yuanhao was immediately attracted to the Wuzang clan.
When Empress Ye Li learned of this, she let the Wuzang clan become a nun, but she did not expect that Yuan Hao still secretly met with the Wuzang clan, and the two also gave birth to a son named Ning Ling Liangcha. In March 1047, Yuan Hao made the brother of the Wuzang clan the Minister of State. Not long after, Yuanhao fell in love with a beautiful woman, and her identity was Yuanhao's "daughter-in-law". It turned out that Yuan Hao planned to marry the Wushi clan to the crown prince Ning Lingge (born to empress Norishi).
However, when Yuan Hao saw the Wushi clan, he was shocked, so he canceled the marriage contract and incorporated the Wushi clan into his harem. Empress Ye Lishi was very angry, before Yuanhao and Wuzang clan secret meeting, she turned a blind eye, did not investigate deeply, and now Yuanhao has included her daughter-in-law in the palace, she can't bear it, "out of resentment and hope". When Yuan Hao learned of this, he did not care about the love between the husband and wife, and deposed the Empress Ye Li clan and "never saw each other again".
First the Yeli brothers were killed, and then "Ning Lingge lost his wife, and Yeli was deposed", and the mother and son were very afraid, fearing that one day a catastrophe would come. For all this, the Minister of State did not hide Pang in his eyes, he wanted to use this opportunity to push his nephew and sister to the peak of Western Xia power. Therefore, Wuzang blackmailed Pang to constantly encourage and instigate Prince Ning Lingge to achieve his own goals by borrowing a knife to kill people.
In January 1048, at the instigation of the Minister of State, Prince Ning Lingge finally took action, and he led YeLiyu's party into the palace, intending to stab Yuan Hao to death while he was drunk. As a result, Ning Lingge's plan was not realized, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in the palace, and Ning Lingge saw that the situation was not good, jumped out of the palace, and hid in the territory where there was no hiding pang. He did not hide that Pang "sent people to kill him (referring to Prince Ning Lingge) and his mother, Norishi".
Although Yuan Hao was not killed, in the course of the battle, he was cut off by his son Ning Lingge,000, and his blood continued to flow. At that time, the medical conditions were very poor, Yuanhao paid the price of his life for his absurd behavior, and the next day, Yuanhao died at the age of 46. Without hiding Pang's wishes, he put his nephew Ning Lingliangcha (later renamed Yu Zuo) to the throne. However, he would never have imagined that he would be destroyed by his nephew in the future.
