Chapter 66 Chapter 65 Guiyi Hou Li Shi

Li Shi, courtesy name Ziren, was the eldest son of Li Shou, the king of the Han Dynasty.In the sixth year of Hanxing (343 A.D.), Li Shou died of illness. Li Shi inherited the throne, changed Yuan Taihe, honored his mother Yan as the empress dowager, and made his wife Li the empress.Li Shi had no son, and his younger brother Li Guang asked to be the emperor's younger brother. I don't know what Li Shi was thinking about, so he refused.Ma Dang and Xie Siming came forward to intercede for Li Guang, saying: "Your Majesty has not many brothers. If you offend Li Guang again, you will be lonely and more dangerous." Li Shi suspected that Ma Dang, Xie Siming and Li Guang had some kind of conspiracy. On the one hand, he hunted and killed Ma Dang and Xie Siming, and on the other hand, he sent Taibao Li Yi to send troops to Fucheng to attack Li Guang, forcing Li Guang to commit suicide.One wave just leveled off and another wave rose again.In the winter of the following year, Tai Bao Li Yi also raised troops to oppose Li Shi and marched towards Chengdu.Li Shi personally directed the officers and soldiers to resist and shot Li Yi to death.In order to celebrate this victory, Li Shi ordered to change Yuan to Jianing.

After Li Shi killed Li Yi, he almost didn't trust anyone, and often killed ministers innocently, making them feel insecure.Li Shi is also a pervert, as long as he sees beautiful women, no matter whether they are married or not, he will take them to the harem to vent his animal desires.Because Li Shi was indifferent to state affairs and indulged in sensuality all day long, Cheng Han's state affairs accelerated corruption, coupled with the harassment of indigenous people, Cheng Han's regime was already in a precarious state.General Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty saw that this was the opportunity to destroy Cheng Han, so in the second year of Jianing (347 A.D.), he led a navy army to crusade against Li Shi, and soon reached the city of Chengdu, scaring the Han soldiers dumbfounded.Seeing this, Li Shi opened the east gate of the city and fled at Xingye. When he arrived in Jiameng, he sent a cavalry servant Wang You to deliver a letter of surrender to Huan Wen, claiming that "Li Shi of Lueyang kowtowed to death".Soon, he was tied up by soldiers and sent to Huanwen barracks, and then sent to Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), where he was granted the title of Marquis of Guiyi.After 14 years of stable life.He did not die in Jiankang until the fifth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (361 A.D.).
