Li Shou (300–343), courtesy name Wukao, son of Li Te's younger brother Li Jun, emperor of the Chenghan Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, reigned from 338 to 343.
Li Shoucong is studious, elegant and generous, and has advocated etiquette since childhood, which is different from the sons of Li. His cousin Li Xiong, believing that he was of extraordinary talent and sufficient to take on heavy responsibilities, paid homage to the former general, the military governor of Brazil, and the general of Zhengdong, at the age of nineteen.
After the death of his father Li Jun, he was promoted to the rank of Grand General, Governor of Dadu, and Shizhong, and was given the title of Duke of Fufeng. He made meritorious contributions to the conquest of Ningzhou and the counties of Pingding, and entered the feudal king of Ning. After Li Xiong's death, he was appointed to assist the imperial government.
In the twenty-fourth year of Yuheng (334), Li Qi's younger brother Li Yue killed the mourning emperor Li Ban and established Li Qi as emperor, and Li Qi succeeded to the throne and renamed Li Shou the King of Han.
In the fourth year of Yuheng (338), he led an army to conquer Chengdu, abolished Li Qi's self-reliance, and changed the name of the country to Han, which was called Chenghan in history.
In the sixth year of Hanxing (343), Li Shou died at the age of forty-four, with the title of Emperor Zhaowen and the temple number Zhongzong, and was buried in Anchang Mausoleum.
How history evaluates Li Shou
Overall
When Li Shou began to be king, he was studious and loved nurses, and he also hoped to do the right path, and whenever he read the story of the meritorious deeds of the good generals, there was no one who did not repeat it, so he could conquer the four directions and win and open up a thousand miles of land. Li Xiong was very humble in the upper position, and Li Shou was also extremely loyal in the lower position, and was called Xianxiang. After ascending to the throne, he re-established the Zongmiao Temple, taking his father Li Jun as the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty, and Li Te and Li Xiong as the Dacheng Temple, and then wrote that Li Qi and Li Yue were not of the same clan, but all kinds of systems had been changed. Most of the officials below the secretary of state appointed their subordinates, and Li Xiong's former ministers and soldiers of the Six Counties were deposed. When Li Shougang fell ill, Xie Siming and others once again proposed to serve the royal family, but Li Shou did not agree. Li Yan wrote from Yue Wei to persuade Li Shou to return to orthodoxy and remove the imperial title and claim the title of king, but Li Shou was furious and killed him, in order to threaten Gong Zhuang, Xie Siming, and others. Gong Zhuang wrote seven poems, pretending that it was Ying Xuan who wrote them to satirize Li Shou. Li Shou replied, "I know the meaning after reading the poem." If it is the work of people now, it is the words of sages. If it was written by the ancients, it is just a cliché of a dead ghost!" Usually admiring the deeds of Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Ming of Wei, and being ashamed to hear people talk about the affairs of his father's and brother's time, the person who wrote the book could not say that the political achievements of his ancestors had been indoctrinated, because he thought that he had surpassed his predecessors.
Evaluation of the past
Fang Xuanling's Book of Jin :(1) "Wu Kao relied on her wealth, poor soldiers stole the throne, sinned a hundred weeks, poisoned Chu Wei, and was guaranteed to be complete, how fortunate!" ; (2) "Sensitive and studious, elegant and open-minded, less polite, different from the sons of the Li clan." He is a hero and a hero, and thinks that he has a heavy responsibility."
