Chapter 30 Section 4 Jietai proclaims emperor

Since Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne, he spent a full six years clearing up internal and external troubles, reforming the political and military systems, and doing a series of preparations for himself to become emperor.But at the critical moment when Li Yuanhao was about to proclaim himself emperor, someone suddenly stood up and firmly opposed Li Yuanhao's proclaiming emperor.So, who dares to openly oppose Li Yuanhao's proclaiming emperor? Li Yuanhao's mother Wei Mushi and uncle Shan Yuweiliang opposed Li Yuanhao's proclaiming emperor.Shan Yuweiliang was a very famous minister in the era of Li Yuanhao's father Li Deming. He followed Li Deming and held the military and political power. He had a great influence in the party territory.Li Yuanhao looked at his uncle disliked and felt that he was a threat to him.Now, Shan Yuweiliang is also persuading Li Yuanhao, saying that you should not fight the Song Dynasty. Once you fight the Song Dynasty, within a year or two, we will have no way to live, and we will definitely be in trouble.So I advise you to abide by the etiquette of the vassals and accept the rewards from the Song Dynasty. We are living a good life today, why should you turn against the Song Dynasty?When Yuan Hao heard it, my uncle was too damned, I had to kill him!But how do I kill my uncle?I have to find an excuse. I can't tell the minister that my uncle persuaded me not to rebel and should be killed. It's not appropriate for such a benevolent lord like me.How to do it?Yuan Hao called his uncle's younger brother and his other uncle, and asked him to come forward and accuse Shan Yuweiliang of treason.They are two brothers, so this person hurried to tell Shan Yu that the lord is going to kill you, so let me sue you for treason.When Shan Yu heard it, he was in a cold sweat, what should he do?Thirty-six strategies are the best way to go, where can you go?Can only run to the Song Dynasty.Shan Yuweiliang fled to the Song Dynasty with top-secret information that Yuan Hao was going to proclaim himself emperor. The Zhizhou on the border of the Song Dynasty saw that such a big cadre from the party came to ask for political asylum?We can't accept it.Once we accept it, won't we force Li Yuanhao back?So, I don’t believe what you tell me, even if you tell me that Li Yuanhao rebelled, I don’t believe it, you are troublesome, so send it back to Li Yuanhao.So the general Song Jun tied up Shan Yu's family of more than twenty people and returned them to Li Yuanhao.Do you recognize this person?Li Yuanhao recognized him so well, even when he was burnt to ashes!Now there is no need to make excuses, Shan Yuweiliang turned against the country and defected to the enemy.Yuan Hao tied his uncle to a tree and shot ghost arrows. Nomads have this custom. Everyone shot Shan Yu and his son to death with random arrows.

Both uncle and cousin were killed, Li Yuanhao next thought, should my mother be killed too?The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was too appropriate, so I sent someone to poison my biological mother to death.After poisoning my mother, I thought, I have a concubine, Wei Mushi, who is also my cousin, should I also be killed?And not only to kill this concubine, but also to kill all the Wei Mu family, how can we kill the grass and not the roots?Just as Yuan Hao was going to kill Wei Mushi, the palace servant came to report that she was pregnant.When Yuan Hao heard this, she was also my flesh and blood, so let's kill her after giving birth, so Wei Mushi was placed under house arrest.Wei Mu's heart is really big, he has reached this level, and he is not depressed, and the child was born smoothly.At this time, Yuan Hao's favorite concubine Yeli, who was later made queen by him, also gave birth to a child, and the value and status of the child born to Wei Mu naturally dropped greatly in Yuan Hao's eyes.At first, he thought, since she gave birth to a child, she is also my flesh and blood, so I will spare the lives of her mother and child.Ye Lishi said next to him, this child doesn't look like you, especially Minister XX.When Yuan Hao heard it, you still dare to cuckold me?So he immediately ordered Wei Mu and his newborn child to be thrown into the Yellow River and drowned alive.

At this time, all the people who stood in the way were dead, Yuan Hao felt that becoming the emperor was a certainty, and he had to pass this addiction.Therefore, one day in October 1038 AD, which was called the third year of Daqing by his year name, Li Yuanhao, surrounded by ministers, worshiped heaven and earth at Jietai Temple in the southern suburb of Xingqing Prefecture, ascended the throne of emperor, and officially proclaimed himself emperor.He gave himself the title of Emperor Daxia, the first text of the ancestors of Daxia, Wu Xingfa, Jianli, Renxiao, and the name of the country. The pronunciation of the Chinese language is Bonnie Dingguo. When he presented the Song Dynasty, he always wrote about Bonnie Dingguo; then he respected his grandfather and moved him to Taizu, and his father Deming was Taizong, which means that in my grandfather's generation, we The country has already been established.After Li Yuanhao's death, the temple name was Jingzong, and the emperor's temple name was "Founding the country and calling the ancestors, and keeping the success and calling the ancestors." Yuan Hao was the first emperor of Xixia, but he was not the ancestor but the ancestor, because he believed that they had founded the country from the grandfather's generation .
