Zhong Shiheng was promoted to the Chongban of the Inner Palace. After the Qingjiancheng incident, he reclaimed 2,000 hectares of land. He recruited merchants, lent capital, and allowed the circulation of goods to win the benefits. Qingjiancheng became rich. He often traveled to various tribes to comfort the chiefs, or took down the wrists he wore to give them. Therefore, the Qiang tribes under his jurisdiction were all happy to use for him.

There was a family in the foreign tribe, and the leader was Niu Nue. This man had always been stubborn and never came out to pay homage to the county magistrate. However, when he heard that Zhong Shiheng came, he hurried to the suburbs to greet him. Zhong Shiheng and Nue agreed to go to his tent the next day to comfort the tribe. That night, heavy snow fell from the sky, and the snow was three feet deep. The servants on both sides said, "Niu Nueu is fierce and cunning, difficult to trust, and the road is dangerous and difficult to walk." Zhong Shiheng said, "I was about to make friends with Qiang people through my loyalty, how could I miss the agreed date?" So he went bravely and snowed.

Nue Zheng was sleeping in the tent, and he thought that Zhong Shiheng would definitely not be able to reach it. Seeing Zhong Shiheng arrive as promised, Nue was very surprised and said, "I have lived on this mountain for generations. Han officials have never dared to come here, but you have no doubts at all!" So he led all the people to salute Zhong Shiheng, and all the people were convinced from this.

The Qiang chief Muen tribe is the most powerful. Zhong Shiheng once drank with him at night and asked his maid to come out to persuade him to drink. Soon Zhong Shiheng got up and went inside and secretly peeked in the gaps on the wall. Muen flirted with his maid privately. Zhong Shiheng took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly came out, and Muen apologized for guilt. Zhong Shiheng smiled and said, "Do you want her?" He immediately gave him the maid, and thus he was given Muen's desperate service.

There were betrayers from all tribes, so he asked Muen to attack and was invincible. The Youwu clan, but Zhong Shiheng could not attract him, so he ordered Muen to send troops to kill the Wu clan. After that, more than 100 tents were automatically surrendered, and no one dared to betray him. He also ordered the tribes to set up beacon fires, and if there was an emergency, they would raise the beacon smoke to alert him and wear armor and horses to wait.

When Ge Huaimin was defeated, Zhong Shiheng led thousands of Qiang soldiers to rescue Jingyuan, but he did not fall behind. He persuaded officials and the people to learn to shoot archery. If they have any mistakes and hit them, they will forgive their crimes. Some people give up on something and ask for something, which is often determined by whether to shoot. Therefore, everyone encourages themselves and is proficient in archery. Therefore, Xixia did not dare to approach Huanzhou for several years.

At this moment, Langmeng, Shengge, Meiniang and other three people paid homage to Zhong Shiheng to surrender. Zhong Shiheng knew that they were surrendering, so he thought to himself: "It is better to use the trick instead of killing them and leave them for the purpose of discord." So he took them in and let them use the tax on the merchant taxes, and the rider was very fond of it.

At that time, there was a monk named Wang Guangxin who was good at riding horses and shooting archery and familiar with the mountains, rivers and roads of the British tribe. Zhong Shiheng sent troops and asked him to be the guide, and he had repeatedly sank the Qiang tent. Zhong Shiheng then submitted a memorial to him to serve as a rank of third squad and changed his name to Wang Song. Zhong Shiheng wrote a letter seal with wax and sent Wang Song to Yeli Rongwang, saying that Lang Ma and others had arrived. The court knew that the king had the intention to go to Han and appointed him as the governor of Xiazhou, with a salary of 10,000 yuan per month. The flags and axes given by the emperor had arrived, and urged him to submit as soon as possible.

Ye Li Rongwang received the trust and was very scared. He captured Wang Song and gave it to Li Yuanhao. However, Li Yuanhao suspected that Ye Li Rongwang had betrayed him and refused to return to the capital, and imprisoned Wang Song in the well. Li Yuanhao sent Li Wengui to report to Zhong Shiheng in the name of Ye Li Rongwang, and it was unclear.

The meaning of the letter Bai sent.

After Li Wengui arrived at the Song camp, Zhong Shiheng scolded Li Yuanhao in front of him, but praised Ye Li Wangrong as a sensible person. He then gave him generous gifts and instructed the envoy: "Go back and tell your master Ye Li Wangrong, come and vote quickly, don't hesitate." After hearing Li Wengui's reward, Li Yuanhao ordered to kill Ye Li Wangrong without saying a word. Ye Li met two beg brothers.

Zhong Shiheng then reported the matter to Pang Ji. At that time, the court had already planned to recruit Li Yuanhao. When Li Wengui came again, Pang Ji summoned Li Wengui and told the country to be generous and accept it. He sent an envoy to repay him. Li Yuanhao received the report and released Wang Song, treated him generously, and asked him to come back with Li Wengui. He sent an envoy to request submission, so he praised his subordinates as usual.

The reason why Li Yuanhao killed Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi brothers. The reason why Li Yuanhao did this is because he was suspicious, and the other is because the two brothers have great abilities and power, and because his queen Yeli Yurong is their girl. Li Yuanhao does not want the power of his relatives to be too great that they lose control.

Li Yuanhao was very violent, suspicious, and was willing to kill. After he ascended the throne, in order to eliminate dissidents and prevent foreign relatives from usurping power, he implemented a serious killing policy and cleared the way for the establishment of the country and the emperor. In the first year of Kaiyun, Wei Mu Shanxi, the leader of the mother Wei Mu family, conspired to kill Li Yuanhao, but was noticed by Li Yuanhao, so all the Shanxi tribesmen were drowned in the river. Li Yuanhao poisoned his mother's guard Mu family with medicinal wine, and killed all the Wei Mu family members.

In September of the second year of Daqing, Li Yuanhao's uncle, Wei Mingshanyu, the military commander of the Left Xiang, failed to persuade Li Yuanhao not to attack the Song Dynasty, so he defected to the Song Dynasty. Later, he was sent back to Xixia, and Li Yuanhao executed all his father and son. Li Yuanhao was suspicious by nature and used suspicious tricks, and he was also prone to the enemy's plan to alienate him. Yeli Wangrong, and Yeli Yuqi's brothers were Li Yuanhao Yeli Yurong's brothers, and they were the brothers of Xixia Mingtang and the right wing of Tiandu. Yeli Wangrong was called Yeli King, and Yeli Yuqi was called Tiandu King.

The Yeli brothers were good at using troops and were very strategic. In the battles between Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan, they defeated Song generals Liu Ping, Shi Yuansun, Ren Fu and others, and had their plans. The border commanders of the Song Dynasty hated the two generals Yeli to the core and wanted to get rid of them soon. Therefore, Zhong Shiheng made a clever plan to make Li Yuanhao kill them easily.

After Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi died, Li Yuanhao brought Yeli Yuqi's wife Weizang into the palace. Yeli Yurong gradually fell out of favor from then on. Yeli Yurong was born in the Yeli tribe of the Dangxiang clan. At first, he was just Li Yuanhao's concubine, but became the first empress of Li Yuanhao's empress. She was able to get the position of queen because of her family's assistance. Her two brothers Yeli Yuqi and Yeli Wangrong were both generals of Xixia and could be called the pillars of Xixia. Especially Yeli Yuqi, this person is full of power and strategy and good at using troops. The soldiers led by the mountain world are known for their good combat. Another relative, Yeli Renrong, is known for his knowledge and allusions, and is regarded as the master of Li Yuanhao.

Secondly, Yeli Yurong has a tall figure and beautiful face. She gave birth to three sons for Li Yuanhao, and is the one who has the most children among Li Yuanhao's women. Thirdly, Yeli Yurong is extremely wise and slandered Li Yuanhao's legitimate wife Wei Mushi. Wei Mushi is the niece of Li Yuanhao's mother, the daughter of the uncle Wei Mushanxi, and Li Yuanhao's cousin.

Later, Shanxi intends to rebel, Li Yuanhao kills Wei Mu's clan Chenhe and poisons his biological mother Wei.

Empress Dowager Mu also put his pregnant wife Wei Mu under house arrest. Soon, Wei Mu gave birth to a son in the cold palace. In the case of the family's destruction, his son was Wei Mu's only hope for him to turn over. How could Yeli Yurong let her go? Therefore, he slandered Li Yuanhao and said that the child did not look like Li Yuanhao. So Yuanhao was angry and killed Wei Mu and his son together.

At that time, Li Yuanhao had another concubine, Yelu, who was Princess Xingping of the Liao Kingdom. She went to Xixia for the national plan. The princess was ordinary in appearance and honest in character. Li Yuanhao was very cold to her. Li Yuanhao did not even visit the princess or die of illness, nor did he notify the Liao Kingdom. Although Princess Xingping had a noble status and had the support of the Liao Kingdom behind her back, it had no effect on Yeli Yurong.

With these, Yeli Yurong favored the harem, and Li Yuanhao had a deep relationship with her, and loved and feared her. Therefore, Li Yuanhao became emperor, Yeli Yurong naturally became the queen, and her eldest son Li Ningming was made the crown prince.

Yeli Yurong likes to wear a kind of qiyun crown made of gold wire, so Li Yuanhao ordered anyone not to wear such crowns again. But behind the glory, disasters were slowly coming to her. First of all, her son died one after another. Among her three sons, the younger son Li Xili died young, and the eldest son, Prince Li Ning, knew etiquette and was very knowledgeable about righteousness, but he was kind by nature, did not like glory and wealth, believed in Taoism and fantasized about becoming an immortal. His thoughts did not conform to Li Yuanhao's ambition to dominate, so he naturally did not like him and ordered not to enter. A few years later, Li Ningming became possessed by the qigong practice and could not eat. Queen Yeli's last son, the second son, Ning Lingge, was subsequently appointed as the crown prince.

Then, in order to consolidate the imperial power, Li Yuanhao intends to weaken the power of the Yeli family. Yeli Renrong died of illness first, and Li Yuanhao took the opportunity to execute Yeli Yuqi, Yeli Wangrong and his whole family under the guise of Zhong Shiheng's counter-espionage plan. Queen Yeli lost her most important supporter in the court.

The most fatal thing is that the beauty of Wuzang appeared beside Li Yuanhao. It turned out that after the Yeli brothers were killed, Queen Yeli often cried to Li Yuanhao that they were wronged. Li Yuanhao naturally knew that they were indeed wronged, and felt that the two were dead, and the threat had been eliminated by Xu Song, so he sold his face to the queen and promised to try his best to find the survivors in the Yeli brothers' family and treat them well. Soon Yeli met the beggar's wife, Mozang, and was retrieved by Li Yuanhao and brought into the palace. The Wuzang family gradually gained the favor of Li Yuanhao, and Queen Yeli fell out of favor since then. This was naturally something that Queen Yeli did not expect!

Besides, when Zhong Shiheng heard that Yeli's brothers were killed, the Song court eliminated two major disasters, he was naturally overjoyed. He pretended to write a sacrifice and crossed the border to sacrifice and worship. Zhong Shiheng also sent Wang Song to risk his own risk to distract Li Yuanhao from the monarch and ministers. So the monarch and ministers in the Western Xia guessed each other, and Li Yuanhao therefore joined the peace with China and requested priority to be promoted to Wang Song's official position. Wang Song was promoted to the third rank of office, and later Wang Song was promoted to the monarch for summoning himself to the monarch.

In order to prevent the sudden invasion of Western Xia, Zhao Zhen appointed Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, and Pang Ji as the Shaanxi Fuli Recruitment Envoy, and established the prefecture of Jingzhou, and the branch office was held. Zhao Zhen summoned Wang Deyong back to Beijing and ordered Wen Yanbo to defend Qinzhou, Teng Zongliang guarded Qingzhou, and Zhang Kang guarded Weizhou. Han and Fan were united in defending the border, and ordered the orders to caress the soldiers. The Qiang tribes were also happy to use them, and Huaide was afraid of power. After hearing about Han and Fan's name, the border people compiled four songs and said: "There is a Han in the army, and the Western thieves were frightened when they heard about it; there is a Fan in the army, and the Western thieves were frightened when they heard about it."
