In ancient China, a person can be admitted to the top prize. It is not a simple matter. Under the big waves and scouring the sand, the one who can become the champion is inevitable, and the literary talent is brilliant. It is even more difficult to become an emperor. But there are individuals who have both titles at the same time. This person is the eighth emperor of Xixia, Shenzong Li Zunxu.
The history book records "the end is clear, the less mechanics, the long and the common book, the Gongli seal". It should be said that he is very literary. He himself is the clan of the Xixia clan, Li Zunxu is the son of Li Yanzong, the king of the Zhongwu Qi of the clan of the Xixia clan. In 1203, he ranked first in the Imperial Examination. That is what we call the champion. At this time, Li Zunxu was exactly 40 years old. Eight years later, on August 12, 1211, the abandoned Xiangzong became independent.
If you say that you can become the champion because of your talents. Then he can become the emperor of Xixia, and I really want to thank his father Li Yanzong.
"Father contributes, son succeeds to the throne"
On August 12, 1211, Li Yanzong attacked Liangzhou and made his capital Liangzhou. He supported his son Li Zunxu to ascend the throne, deposed Xiangzong Li's safety, and Li Zunxu ascended the throne. After moving the capital Xingqing Mansion .
Li Yanzong and the deposed Xiangzong Li Anan are the same generation. But there is a big difference in age between the two. There is no record of Li Yanzong's birth and death in the history books. But Lee Safety was born in 1170 and died in 1211. Li Zunxu was born in 1163. As a nephew, Li Zunxu was already a 48-year-old middle-aged person. Even if Li Yanzong gave birth to Li Zunxu when he was a teenager, he was probably in his 60s or 70s. An old comrade in his sixties and seventies is really hardworking. It may be someone who feels that he is already at sunset. It is enough to help his son by himself, and the emperor will not do it. Let his son, 48-year-old Li Zunxu, be the emperor.
Be a champion by yourself, be an emperor with the help of your father. Li Zunxu is also lucky.Sometimes luck is also a kind of strength. Not everyone has a good father. Li Zunxu has the capital to gnaw the old.
Xiangzong Li An'an "reverse help"
In addition to his father's help, Li Zunxu was able to become the emperor, also thanks to "little uncle" Li An'an for his death. "Reverse help" Li Zunxu succeeded.
Xiangzong Li's safety, also obtained the throne by usurping power. He is not a direct descendant of the emperor either. In 1196, Li An'an's father Li Renyou died of illness. Li An’an wrote a letter asking to inherit the throne of the King of Yue, but Huanzong of the Western Xia did not allow it, but was demoted to the king of Zhenyi County. He was extremely dissatisfied, so he developed a desire to usurp the throne. On March 1, 1206, with Huanzong's mother Luo Shi, he abolished Huanzong and relied on himself, and changed Yuan Yingtian.
During Li An'an's reign, he disrupted the friendly relationship with the Kingdom of Jin and attached himself to the increasingly powerful Mongolia. In the war with the Kingdom of Jin, the national power of the two countries was constantly consumed. Xixia competed with golden snipe and clam, while the Mongolian fishermen benefited. Attaching to Mongolia, fighting inwardly with the Jin Dynasty, did not seek the concern of the Mongols. Temujin did not spare Xixia while cleaning up the Jin Dynasty. Li Safety can be regarded as a wrong calculation.
Originally, both Jin and Xixia's national strength are weaker than Mongolia, so they should cooperate no matter how they look, not internal friction. It is not an exaggeration to say that Li An'an is faint.
In 1209 AD, Temujin led the Mongolian army to conquer Xixia for the third time. Li An'an sent his son Li Chengzhen as the marshal, and the general governor's office made Gong Gaoyi the deputy marshal, and supervised 50,000 troops to block. The Mongols concentrated their forces on a fierce attack, and the Xixia Army was defeated. The Mongolian army encircled Zhongxing Mansion, the capital of Xixia. The Mongolian army irrigated the city with water from the Yellow River. The soldiers and civilians in the city suffered heavy casualties. Li Ansafe then remembered asking for help from Jin Guo.
Coincidentally, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin at this time is also a short-sighted emperor. At that time, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin was the famous King Wei Shao from the history of Jin Kingdom Wanyan Yongji . He doesn't understand the truth of the death of lips and teeth. Refused to support Xixia. "The enemy is attacking,What is the blessing of our country? "(Xixia and Mongolia are both my enemies. I would be eager to send troops if you fight. If you fight you, I will watch the show.)
Fortunately, the Mongols are hoarding the dam of the river. He collapsed and drowned his own soldiers. In addition, Li Anhui offered gold and silver jewels to make peace with his daughter, and Mongolian talents withdrew their troops.
Li Anhui's "sao operation" caused dissatisfaction among the Chinese people, and this gave Li Yanzong to Li Yanzong. This is a good opportunity. It is true that they helped Li Yanzong, Li Zunxu and his son in the opposite direction. Li Zunxu abolished Li An'an to stand on his own feet and changed the Yuan Guangding (this year name is very spiritual). Li An'an also died unclearly after more than a month. No. For example, Li Zunxu has a good father, so it’s not easy to rely on yourself. Li An’an, you are not safe at all.
"The Emperor of the Number One Scholar" is also a "Emperor"
With the help of his father, Li Zunxu sits in middle age. The emperor’s throne. From the champion to the emperor, how should you work hard to be a good emperor, or how can you afford to be a champion? But it turns out that a person who is a champion may not necessarily be a good emperor.
took the throne of "little uncle" Li An'an, and the reign was changed to Guangding. The way of ruling is still changing the soup without changing the medicine. Continue to fight with Jin Guo and hug Mongolian thighs. The original national strength has been taken by Li An'an. It was almost consumed. By the time Li Zunxu succeeded to the throne, the war with the Kingdom of Jin had been repeatedly defeated. This aroused Li Zunxu’s anger, repeated defeats and repeated defeats.
in China In terms of governance, Li Zunxu was greedy for pleasure and indulged in drinking and drinking. Compared to Li An’an, he was inferior to Li An’an. His ministers persuaded him and he was scolded a lot, including his son Li Deren. Li Deren gave up the crown and became a monk. Admonish his father Li Zunxu. Li Deren said: "The Jinbing forces are too strong, so it is better to make peace with him. "Shenzong said: "This is not something you understand when you are young, you don't understand." Li Deren was abolished as a prince and imprisoned in Lingzhou. To the point of life and death, the ministers of the DPRK and China were dissatisfied with Li Zunxu. In 1223,The Mongolian army once again attacked Xixia. Under the persecution of the Mongolian army, and amid the dissatisfaction of the officials, Li Zunxu announced his abdication in December of the same year and was rumored to be his second son, Li Dewang. In May 1226, Li Zunxu died of illness. At the age of 64, he was named the English emperor and the temple named Shenzong.
Li Zunxu, the first and only number one emperor in China, does not fit the glorious image of the emperor emperor in everyone’s impression. Being able to write articles does not mean having the ability to govern the country. Xixia fell into a more debilitating situation in his hands. In 1227 AD, Xixia was completely destroyed under the rule of Li Zunxu's grandson Li Xi.
