Chapter 318 Chapter 317 Huanzong Li Chunyou

Li Chunyou is the son of Renzong Li Renxiao, and his mother is Luo Shi, Empress Zhang Xianqin.He was born in the eighth year of Qianyou (the fourth year of Song Chunxi), was abolished in the thirteenth year of Tianqing, and died.30 years old.Reigned for 14 years. In the twenty-fourth year of Qianyou (1193 A.D.), Renzong died of illness, and Chunyou came to the throne at the age of 17.Chunyou basically pursued the political and diplomatic policy of the Renzong period, domestically stabilizing the country and supporting the people, and externally attaching Jin and Song Dynasty.However, the corruption of party aristocrats and landlord bureaucrats has become an irreversible trend, and Chunyou is completely unable to reverse the situation of the Xixia regime from prosperity to decline.At this time, foreign troubles intensified.The rise of Mongolia in Mobei and its rapid growth constituted a serious threat to Xixia from the north and accelerated the historical process of Xixia from decline to death.

In December of the fourth year of Chunyou's accession to the throne, King Renyou of Yue died of illness.Renyou is the younger brother of Renzong, who made great contributions in smashing Ren Dejing's conspiracy to usurp power and divide the country, and was granted the title of King of Yue.His son Ping'an asked to inherit the title of King of Yue, but Huanzong refused, and instead conferred him the title of King of Zhenyi County.Ping An then sprouted the heart to usurp the throne. In the twelfth year of Tianqing (AD 1205), Temujin led his troops to march towards Xixia.Chunyou is very nervous about the arrival of the Mongolian iron cavalry, but he can only sit back and watch things happen.The Mongolian army had no intention of occupying Xixia at that time. They broke through the Lijili Village in Xixia, and then plundered people and livestock in Luosi City and returned.After the Mongolian army retreated, Chunyou ordered to change the capital Xingqing Mansion to Zhongxing Mansion, hoping that there would be a revival after the catastrophe.

In the first month of the second year, the King of Zhenyi colluded with Chunyou's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Luo, to launch a palace coup after Xia Guo had just experienced a Mongolian threat, deposed Chunyou, and established himself as emperor. Two months later, Chunyou died suddenly again, the cause of death is unknown.Burial Zhuangling.Posthumous title "Emperor Huanzong Zhaojian".
