Chapter 64 Chapter 63: Lord You and Li Qi

Li Qi, courtesy name Shiyun, is the fourth son of Li Xiong, the king of Cheng.In the twenty-fourth year of Cheng Yuheng (334 A.D.), Li Xiong died of illness, and Prince Li Ban succeeded to the throne. Li Yue, Li Xiong's son, returned to Chengdu for the funeral and killed Li Ban with Li Qi.At that time, many ministers wanted to support Li Yue as emperor. Because Li Qi was versatile and was raised by the queen, Li Yue gave up the throne to Li Qi.Li Qi then became the emperor, changed Yuan Yuheng, and granted Li Yue the title of King Jianning. Li Qi thought that he would be successful when he became emperor, so he naturally neglected the former ministers, and only used Shangshu Ling Jingqian, Shangshu Yao Hua, and Tian Bao.Tian Bao didn't have any talent, he just persuaded Li Xiong to make Li Qi the crown prince.Political affairs are all decided by these mediocre people, and the situation in Chengguo will soon go from bad to worse.However, Li Qi became more and more extravagant and wanted to kill people at every turn, which made the court ministers panic.

Li Shou, king of Han, was very famous, but he was suspected by Li Qi.In order to avoid being killed, Li Shou secretly planned to attack Chengdu with Chief Shi Luoheng and Xie Siming.After Li Qi heard the news, he sent Xu Fu to Fucheng many times to observe Li Shou's movements, and poisoned Li Shou's adoptive brother Li You to death.Li Shou was so frightened that he led 10,000 soldiers to march to Chengdu in April of the third year of Cheng Yuheng (338 A.D.).Li Shi, Li Shou's son, was a lieutenant in the Yi Army in Chengdu at that time. Seeing Li Shou's arrival, he immediately opened the city gate and let Li Shou enter Chengdu.Li Qi never dreamed that Li Shou would come to Chengdu so quickly, and he was powerless to stop him, so he sent someone to comfort Li Shou, and killed Jianning King Li Yue, Jing Qian, Tian Bao, Yao Hua, Xu Fu and others according to Li Shou's request. people.A few days later, Li Qi was deposed as Duke of Qiongdu County and placed under house arrest in another palace.Soon after, he committed suicide at the age of 25, and was given the posthumous title of "You Gong".
