In 1003 AD, Li Yuanhao was born in a party aristocratic family in the northwest, and although the Li family at this time hung the surname given by the Central Plains Dynasty, they actually looked at the Liao state and thought of taking advantage of the Song and Liao rivalries and established themselves in the northwest.
However, the old Li family's wishful thinking was not realized quickly, because in the second year of Li Yuanhao's birth, Song Zhenzong shook hands with the Liao State with 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 silk protection fees, thus liao and Song entering a period of "honeymoon period". What makes the old Li family even more sad is that this year, Li Yuanhao's grandfather, the helmsman of the old Li family, Li Jiqian, died of injury during the Western Expedition to Tubo, and he was succeeded by Li Yuanhao's father, Li Deming, who was only 23 years old.
Although Li Deming was only in his early 20s at the time, he was a very powerful figure, on the one hand, he continued to go with Liao Guomei, and on the other hand, he continued to renew the frontier with the Great Song Dynasty, which had been hostile for a while. After no worries, Li Deming began to expand his power to the west, and the old Li family's power quickly swelled up in the war.
Li Yuanhao, who grew up in the war, is even more blue than blue in insight. According to the "Western Xia Chronicles", Li Yuanhao showed outstanding vision when he was a teenager. At that time, the territory occupied by the old Li family was in short supply, so Li Deming used the horses produced in the northwest to exchange materials with the Great Song, and Li Deming often killed the clerk because he did not exchange the materials he wanted.
And Li Yuanhao went to persuade his father and said to him, "We have today by riding and shooting, you take our strategic materials (horses), go and exchange living materials with the Great Song, over time, our advantages will not be gone, and you will not move to kill the people we do, so that our situation is not good." At that time, cao Wei, the general who was guarding the northwest of the Song Dynasty, was very impressed when he heard about it, and he foresaw that Li Yuanhao would definitely be a big trouble in the future.
His prediction was right, Li Yuanhao was indeed not a thing in the pool, he became an adult under his father's southern conquest of the Northern War, made countless military achievements, but the perennial killing, as well as the premature age of power, also brought trouble to his character. With the efforts of Li Deming and Li Yuanhao's father and son, the old Li family soon became a hegemon in the northwest, and Li Deming even moved the mind of establishing a country and claiming the title of emperor.
Just before Li Deming thought he was ready for everything and was about to ascend the throne, he died unexpectedly (this is questionable, and the suspect... After Li Deming's death, Li Yuanhao inherited the inheritance of the old Li family and soon established the state as emperor.
As the saying goes, after Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne, he honored his mother Wei Mushi as the empress dowager, and when the Wei Mu clan saw that there were people in the court, they wanted to eat more and occupy more in various welfare, and even coveted Li Yuanhao's position. Li Yuanhao grew up on horseback since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was even more in the company of swords, guns and swords, so his sense of political smell was extremely sensitive, so the changes of the Wei Mu clan were soon discovered by him.
Although the Wei Mu clan has a heart of disobedience, but in the end it is an "imperial relative", Li Yuanhao could have taken some small measures to "kill chickens and scare monkeys", but Li Yuanhao directly came to "cut the grass and remove the roots". He first killed all the people of the Wei Mu clan involved, and also poisoned his own mother with poisonous wine, and even a concubine from the Wei Mu clan was also given to death by him, and this concubine was already pregnant with his child at that time!
The relatives who died at the hands of Li Yuanhao, as well as his uncle Song Mingshan Encounter (嵬名 is the surname of Li Yuanhao's dang Xiang clan, the more common name of Li Yuanhao Shan Yu is Shan Yu Wei Liang), And Li Yuanhao is worried that Li Yuanhao's insistence on making enemies of The Great Song will bring disaster to the party, so he painstakingly persuades him, Li Yuanhao naturally refuses to listen, so he wants to execute him for the crime of rebellion, and the song "does not want" to defect to the Great Song, but the Great Song "does not want" to participate in Li Yuanhao's family affairs, so he sends the mountain to Li Yuanhao, and Li Yuanhao is not kind to his uncle. Directly executed the Misaki Yamayuki family with random arrows.
Some people say that being in a high position sometimes has to think a little more, be cold, and be unkind, so if Li Yuanhao only has to kill a killer just for political needs, then the next incident will expose his own heart.
After Li Yuanhao ascended the throne, he made his son Li Ningming the crown prince, and according to historical records, Li Ningming died because of problems practicing Qigong, but it was recorded in the literature that Li Ningming and Li Yuanhao's governing philosophy was reversed, so there were doubts about the cause of his death. After Li Ningming's death, Li Yuanhao made Li Ningming's younger brother Li Ningling the crown prince, and his empress at the time was Ye Lishi.
After Li Ningling brother became an adult, he was ready to marry a woman of the Wu clan as a wife, but Li Yuanhao liked his daughter-in-law very much after seeing him, so he directly adopted it for himself, so Li Ninglingge began to resent his father. Soon after, Li Yuanhao took advantage of the divisive tactics displayed by the Great Song to get rid of Li Ninglingge's uncle's family and seize Li Ninglingge's uncle Wuzang, and then he planned to abolish Li Ninglingge's mother's title of empress and establish Li Ninglingge's Wuzang clan as the queen.
Li Ning lingge was already resentful, and later there was no Tibetan clan of state ministers, he finally made up his mind to move against Li Yuanhao, when Li Ning made brother move, he did not directly kill Li Yuanhao, but only cut off Li Yuanhao's nose, Li Yuanhao died of injuries soon after, and Li Yuanhao's strange life was completely over.
