Chapter 10 Chapter 10: Born a Treacherous, Died a Joke

An incident happened on the 15th day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Song Qingli. The incident took place in Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia, and the character was the local king Li Yuanhao. It was the Lantern Festival that day, and Li Yuanhao was enjoying life.Looking back at history, at this time around him, whether it is the world enemy Tubo, the neighbor Uyghur, the superior Song Dynasty, or the master Liao, they have all become his defeated opponents.For more than ten years, he has turned every impossible task into his great achievements. Such an achievement, considering the family background of the previous party members, is really shocking.To be fair here, he is the God of War at this stage. No matter what the process is, no matter what the results are, he will win the decisive battle and raise the status of the party members to the highest point in history.

So have fun.In this regard, his taste is relatively nomadic, he didn't spend much money on decorating the room, of course, this hobby is too expensive, with Xixia's current family background, not to mention the top buildings in the Song Dynasty, such as Yuqing Zhaoying Palace He can't afford to fix it.Even those palaces in the Southern Tang and Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Eleven Kingdoms were not something he could dream of. He likes to ride a horse, take a tent, and go hunting with his beloved woman. This woman is the Wuzang family who is inconvenient to appear in the palace.Time passed, tender and lingering, in the year before the accident, on February 6, 1047 AD, they finally had the crystallization of love.

A baby was born on the bank of a river called Liangcha. It was a boy.Li Yuanhao named him "Ningling Liangcha".Ningling means joy in Dangxiang language, and Liangcha is named after the place, who made him born here.At that time, no one paid attention to what this boy meant to Xixia and how it would affect Li Yuanhao's own fate. Just a child... But it depends on whose child it is, and the same kind is taboo, Li Yuanhao has other children!In short, he gave birth to 5 sons, for various reasons, including 2 killed by himself, only one survived in the end.It is the prince Ning Ling who was born to the Ye Li family.Brother Ning Ling's fate, with his wedding as the dividing line, was unparalleled happiness before, and then dark gray afterward.

His wife became his "mother queen", and there was a new candidate for his throne. Even his mother's status began to be shaken. The former Wei Mushi was the best example. Without love, there is nothing, even life. Maybe you can't keep it, so what's the future? All kinds of depression made Brother Ning Ling uneasy, and various thoughts arose in his heart, but no matter which one, he was not shocked by this person.A subtle little character comes on the scene, this one, to make it sinister and mysterious. His name is Wuzang Yepang, he is Liangcha's uncle and the elder brother of the Wuzang family.At the same time, he was also the Prime Minister of Xixia at that time.An important position, an embarrassing identity, he has the same uneasy reasons as brother Ning Ling, who knows if there will be another woman who will jump out, more beautiful than his sister, and become Li Yuanhao's ninth spring?

Seeds can be bred every spring, and Liangcha will not be the first, let alone the last. Li Yuanhao is only in his early 40s, and everything is still unknown.How can his position, his sister's position, be completely consolidated? This is a question, and Wu Zang Yuanpang thought about it for a long time, and gradually a very bold and wonderful idea came into being.The more he thinks about it, the better, as long as he can achieve the first goal, then the result of the whole matter will only be good for him no matter what. The key point is two people, Li Yuanhao and Brother Ning Ling. As long as one of these two dies, it will be very beneficial to him.But when you think about it, there is a big difference.

1. Brother Ning Ling is dead.Then at least Liangcha's position as the crown prince is temporarily established. Even if there are Sancha, Sicha, and Ncha in the future, it will take more than ten years before it becomes troublesome. In short, Ning Lingge's death will solve the urgent need; 2. Li Yuanhao died.This matter is a bit hanging.It's not that the Xixia state will be violently turbulent, and even the surrounding Song Dynasty, Liao Kingdom, and even Tubo may retaliate. It's just that Li Yuanhao died suddenly, leaving Brother Ning Ling behind. Will Liangcha have a chance?

Precise calculation, the calculation is not big.Although the power of the Yeli tribe is not as good as before, it is definitely not comparable to an unknown woman without the Zang clan, plus him, the uncle of the country. So Li Yuanhao can die, but brother Ning Ling must not be left behind!Only when this goal is achieved can Liangcha and him be the ultimate beneficiaries.So keep thinking, how can this idea become a reality?Do you want Brother Ning Ling to kill Li Yuanhao? ... This idea suddenly popped into my mind, and I couldn't hide it for a moment, but I was terrified by myself.How did you come up with it, let the son kill his father.It's not that you can't kill them. There are many such things on the grasslands, and I heard that the Han people also like to do this kind of thing.It's just that the first test is not easy. Let me ask Ning Ling what to do if he doesn't kill him. With a little brain, he can see that this is making wedding clothes for others, which is beneficial to Liangcha.

Let Brother Ning Ling take the biggest risk to achieve his goal of downfall?Are there such stupid people in the world? !But don't worry, after the panic, reason appears.Question - If Brother Ning Ling finds something is wrong and communicates with his father Li Yuanhao, what can he say?Said that Wuzang Yepang wanted to harm you, so that Liangcha would be the emperor and he himself would be the regent? Guess what Li Yuanhao will think after saying this sentence.As long as you have a little memory, you should remember how Brother Nori died not long ago.There is no fact of rebellion, as long as Li Yuanhao becomes suspicious, he will surely die.

The majestic Xixia is currently the state prince, competing with a one-year-old baby for favor, and letting a real brother-in-law be the regent... It takes a lot of imagination to think of it.How much medicine do I have to take before I can believe it? That's why it's very good, I didn't hide the truth and came to a conclusion, just go and talk to Brother Ning Ling, don't be afraid of any risks.Even the most ideal result is that brother Ning Ling will report him, that is the fastest way to achieve his goal. With such a plan in mind, he found Brother Ning Ling.What happened after that, we can't really blame the prince for being so stupid, it was really funny, and he agreed as soon as Pang said it.As for why, one reason is his age. He just got married 2 years ago, how old can he be in ancient times when early marriages were prevalent?The second is his fear.

Rather than the anger emphasized in traditional history books. His wife was robbed, his mother fell out of favor, and his status was shaken, no matter what it was, it really made him angry, but if it was just this, he would be so angry that he raised a knife to kill his father.Then he should be more Li Yuanhao than Li Yuanhao, he really has a personality.How can you wait until now and not do it?The real reason is that he is panicked and helpless.This is the most terrible thing, he is afraid, just like a prisoner waiting to die, waiting to lose everything.At this time, Wu Zang Yuanpang appeared, bringing him his only hope, and if he lost it, he would be completely finished.

The time came to the first day of the first lunar month, when Li Yuanhao was receiving worship in the main hall of the Xingqing Mansion Palace. According to legend, the red sun was just rising, but it was dim, like a blood-red cloud floating in the sky.The courtiers were terrified, which was a bad omen.But Li Yuanhao didn't mind.He has done a lot of evil and killed countless people in his life. When the sky is overcast, he will act as God pulling the curtains. What's the big deal? He continued to be majestic and enjoy himself until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when he reached the peak of carnival.He didn't realize that there was any danger approaching him, and in fact, he had absolutely no way of noticing anything in advance.Because the murderer turned out to be Crown Prince Ning Ling himself. From planning to action, Brother Ning Ling handled the whole process by himself without any help.Without premeditation, where did the leak come from?Don't mention that he didn't hide his mistakes at this time, this person is very good, all the help he gave Brother Ning Ling was just a way out - after he succeeded, he would come to my house immediately.With the power of the Prime Minister of the country, I will help you to the throne of the emperor.Except for this sentence, he stepped aside from a distance and never got involved. On the night of the Lantern Festival, Li Yuanhao got very drunk.Drunk and dazed, he walked towards the harem, which was his private paradise, and no outsider could ever enter it. This resulted in two facts, he had no guards around him, and brother Ning Ling was not an outsider.His own son suddenly appeared, drew his sword and slashed at him.Li Yuanhao flashed out completely based on years of battlefield instinct, but unfortunately he was really drunk, and 90% of his head was avoided, only his strong and straight nose got in the way.It was cut off by brother Ning Ling with a sword. Blood flowed all over his face in an instant, and Li Yuanhao suddenly woke up in severe pain. He ran around the hall to avoid danger.But the danger ran faster than him, and Brother Ning Ling disappeared in an instant. He was really just a child, and when he saw his father's blood all over his face, he immediately panicked.He made a second mistake, which was even more unforgivable than murdering his father.There is blood all over, so you have to kill it on the spot! There is no way, young people can be stupid to the limit. He went straight to find out who didn't hide the truth, and he didn't care whether the contract was completed or not.This time the journey went smoothly, and he rushed to Guoxiang's house.Wuzang Yepang was very satisfied. As I said before, as long as Brother Ning Ling did something, he would have a good life for at least ten years.What were you waiting for, he immediately grabbed Prince Molu, rushed into the palace to escort him, and caught Ning Ling's mother Ye Lishi in his busy schedule, and it is said that he killed them all at the first time.As for why he was so bold, firstly, he was loyal and could not restrain himself; secondly, he was innocent of murder, he was a traitor; thirdly, Li Yuanhao couldn't stand it any longer, and the last bit of reason he had left was only enough to make a decision. At this time, Li Yuanhao can win our respect. Thinking about the whole nose being cut off, it is all soft tissue, and the blood cannot be stopped.The brain was instantly hypoxic and confused. In this uncontrollable pain coma, he was clearly aware of the most serious problem. He must die, who will replace him?Who will guarantee the safety of his country and his Tuoba tribe? The only two remaining sons, one is the murderer of the father, and the other is too young. In the final struggle in my mind, I must think of someone!He thought of his younger brother Wei Ge Ning Ling.This younger brother has no talent, but at least he is an adult and will not let the imperial power of the Tuoba clan fall aside. This is Li Yuanhao's last wish. At this moment, it reminds people of his grandfather Li Jiqian.He also died of severe pain, and also worried about what happened next, but Li Yuanhao was fundamentally unable to fulfill his wish. He is not as good as Li Jiqian.Li Jiqian is also vicious and cunning, but he is far less cruel than him in oppressing and killing people around him. Xiao Qianqian knows both the inside and the outside.Therefore, the young Li Deming can become the king of the party, and the tribe can obey.Li Yuanhao couldn't even tolerate his own biological son. His biological mother, uncle, wife, and cronies all died at his hands. Before he died, he only thought about having a younger brother, which was useless at all. This younger brother was unknown in history, and to be able to live to this time, it is estimated that he is outstandingly well-behaved and honest.Such a person, even if he became the king of Xixia, would he be able to convince the public?What's more, the king is going to run for election, such a person has no competitiveness at all. Sure enough, Li Yuanhao dragged on all night and did not see the sun the next day.After his death, Pang used the power of the prime minister and the only prince of Jia Ningling Liangcha to steal the power of Xixia.Since then, the country has entered a nightmare cycle.Almost every king is young, and the power of the country is in the hands of the empress dowager, empress, and relatives for more than 80% of the time. Li Yuanhao's direct descendants lead a miserable life.The reason can be accurately summed up in two words - "character".You start with this, and you must end with this. Li Yuanhao's life is a life of fighting, but it is a pity that the same fighting can have different styles.This also determines the fate of himself and the country he created.In the previous examples, we cited Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin.Li Shimin swept the world extremely quickly, several major battles were done neatly, and his martial arts shocked the world.Therefore, the momentum of the Tang Dynasty is astonishing, no matter in which respect, it is magnificent and beautiful. Zhao Kuangyin's toughness has the amiability of a commoner, and he deeply understands what it takes to be an ordinary person.Therefore, the Song Dynasty was very slow in gaining the country, and it was not possible to restore the territory of the Tang Dynasty throughout its life.But every time a piece of land is obtained, it is managed meticulously, and the level of development is beyond Li Shimin's extravagant expectations.This can be seen from his war methods, which overthrew the cruelty of the Five Dynasties and created the benevolence of the Song Dynasty.This is not empty talk. Looking back at Li Yuanhao's life in this way, he was deceitful, cruel, and did everything he could to achieve success, so his success is hard to see.There is a conclusion that is very exciting and very interesting-all his efforts during his lifetime are all zero after his death.What he is proud of is exactly what Xi Xia suffers from. His achievements beat all the surrounding race countries.But he failed to overwhelm any of them except the Uighurs.This is a serious aftermath.You may be able to maintain this advantage during your lifetime, but what about after your death?Taking the Song Dynasty as an example, he fought so many battles, and what he got was only the title of King of Xixia more than what his father left him, and nothing else. However, the relationship between Song and Xia was completely destroyed. After that, there were good times and wars, and there was no concept of honesty.Is this an improvement, or a step backwards?If you have to emphasize independence and dignity, then I would like to ask Li Deming, is his father necessarily inferior to him?Li Deming closed his door and became the emperor as before. When the envoys from the Song Dynasty came, they just changed their yellow robes.Li Yuanhao fought for a long time, corresponded with the emperor of Song Dynasty, and had to call himself his son or subordinate, how could he make any progress? ! Therefore, to evaluate Li Yuanhao's life, he is a lucky loser.He was fortunate to be born in an era of collective captivity. Whether it was the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom, Tubo, or the Uighurs, they were all at the end of their strength and not in their prime. He only needed to be born 30 years earlier or 70 years later. Ability is just a joke, he will die very ugly! One of the reasons is Zanpu Zangsiluo of Tubo, who is the leader of the new generation of Tubo to end the chaos.With only the strength of He Huang's team, Li Yuanhao almost lost his family fortune.Such is his quality as a "Military Strongman"... Needless to say, I believe he will not be missed even by his own people. The war caused domestic famine, and the internal purge was so cruel. What makes the Chinese miss him?What a puzzle!Well, history has finally turned this page, a very boring person, and some very boring fucking things, quietly said, no longer talking about him, makes me very happy.
