Besides, Xiao Hujian, the prince-in-law of the Liao Kingdom, was captured by Li Yuanhao. Instead of killing him, Li Yuanhao comforted him, treated him with wine and food, and talked about peace talks. Xiao Hujian took it upon himself and expressed his willingness to go back to report to Yelu Zongzhen that the two sides would reconcile again. Li Yuanhao then let him go back and sent someone to discuss the peace talks.

Yelu Zongzhen had no choice but to agree. So both sides returned the prisoners and reconciled the peace. Yu Jing found out the situation and came to meet Yelu Zongzhen and talked about the good things between Song and Xia. At this time, Yelu Zongzhen naturally had no objection, so he sent Yu Jing to the south.

Yu Jing returned to the capital and reported everything to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen then sent Zhang Zishi, the man who served as the envoy of the rituals, and appointed Li Yuanhao as the lord of Xia. He also gave him gold belts, silver saddles, 20,000 taels of silver, 20,000 pieces of silk, and 20,000 kilograms of tea. He was given an imperial edict and allowed him to establish his own official subordinates. Li Yuanhao finally praised the ministers to Song and promised to pay tribute to the local goods every year, so that the border was temporarily stable.

Before, Li Yuanhao's prince Ning Ling Ge was the age of marriage, and the princess was the daughter of Wu Jishan. The princess was young, beautiful, slim and cute. When Li Yuanhao saw it, he was very moved. So Li Yuanhao learned from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and directly snatched his daughter-in-law and made him a concubine, and called him "New Empress". Ning Ling Ge naturally had no choice when he saw his beautiful wife being taken away by his father.

Later, Li Yuanhao lured Zhan Yeli to meet his beggar's wife, Mozang. Because the Mozang family is not only beautiful but also a mature woman who knows the charm, Li Yuanhao is particularly fond of her. The Mozang family also left the grudge of killing her husband behind and kept flattering her. Queen Yeli was already very dissatisfied with Li Yuanhao's killing of her brother, and when she saw Li Yuanhao occupying his sister-in-law, she was even more angry.

Queen Yeli also felt sorry for the fact that Mozang was her sister-in-law and could not bear to harm her. So as the queen, she sent Mozang to Jietan Temple in Xingqing Prefecture to become a nun, trying to separate Li Yuanhao from Mozang. However, Li Yuanhao did not give up on her because Mozang became a monk, and she frequently visited the temple to meet him. Even despite the opposition of the ministers, he often took Mozang to hunt and camp.

The Mozang family gave birth to a son in the camp where they were hunting with Li Yuanhao. Because of the special status of the Mozang family, Li Liangzuo was fostered in the family of the Mozang brother, the Mozang Epang. The Mozang tribe was a major Dangxiang clan and Epang was the leader. Because his sister was favored, Mozang Epang was promoted to the prime minister by Li Yuanhao and relied on him to handle all military and national affairs. From then on, Li Yuanhao ignored the government affairs and often played with the concubines in the Helan Mountain Palace.

Li Yuanhao first empathized with Wuyi, and then favored Wuzi. Empress Yeli had a new and old hatred and arguing with Li Yuanhao. Yuanhao was furious and deposed Empress Yeli and appointed Wuyi as the new Empress Xixia. The deposed Empress Yeli was in a state of seclusion, and neither mother nor son could meet. She cried all day long and pinned her hope of turning over on her son Ning Lingge, who had been made the crown prince.

The prince Ning Lingge was first taken away by his beautiful wife, and then his mother was deposed, so he was naturally full of anger and resentment. The prime minister of the country, Mozang Epang, was very cunning. Seeing that Li Yuanhao was obsessed with wine and sex, was happy to go on banquets, and was neglected to political affairs, he conspired with his sister Mozang to eliminate Prince Ning Lingge and make Li Liangzuo the crown prince. He knew that Ning Lingge and Li Yuanhao had hatred for deposing his mother and taking his wife. If he instigated Ning Lingge to assassinate Yuanhao, the uncensored family could achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone and reaping the benefits of a fisherman.

.

If Ning Lingge attempted to assassinate Li Yuanhao, Li Yuanhao would inevitably kill Ning Lingge, and the new crown prince was naturally his nephew Li Liangzuo. If Ning Lingge succeeded in assassination, Wu Zang would be able to kill Ning Lingge for the crime of monarchy, and his sister's son Li Liangzuo could be the emperor. No matter what the result was, he could use a knife to kill people and get rid of the crown prince.

So Wu Zang Epang set up a trap and instigated the prince Ning Ling Ge to kill Li Yuanhao, expressing his willingness to help Ning Ling Ge seize the throne from his father. His former wife became today's stepmother, which was originally unbearable to Ning Ling Ge. Now he has the support of the prime minister who holds real power, so he believed it and decided to take the risk. Ning Ling Ge secretly contacted Lang Lie, the Yeli tribe and others, waiting for the opportunity to come.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the 11th year of Yanzuo, Li Yuanhao and his concubines drank and had fun all day long. Late at night, Li Yuanhao was drunk and was helped by his servants to bed. Ning Lingge and Langlie carried steel knives and broke into the bedroom angrily, and chopped Li Yuanhao on the head. Li Yuanhao could not dodge and was cut off his nose with a knife. All the guards arrived and killed Yeli Langlie. Seeing that they were alarmed, Ning Lingge escaped in a hurry and threw himself into the net and hid in the home of Wuzang Epang.

Seeing that Li Yuanhao and his son had achieved their goal of provoking Li Yuanhao to kill each other, Mo Zang Epang executed Ning Lingge and his mother, Queen Yeli, for the serious crime of killing his father and killing the monarch. The next day, Li Yuanhao died of excessive blood loss and was defeated. Before Li Yuanhao died, he ordered his clan's younger brother, Goning Ling, to inherit the throne. The ministers discussed to follow Li Yuanhao's will, and legislator Goning Ling became the emperor.

However, Mozang Epang had already planned to usurpate the power. He firmly opposed it as a relative of the foreign country and said: "In the Xia Dynasty, all the fathers and sons have succeeded, so that the people can convince the people. Viego Ningling was not the son of the late emperor, and he had no meritorious service to the country. How could he ascend the throne? The Mozang gave birth to a prince for the late emperor. The successor of the fathers is natural, who dares not accept it?" At this time, Mozang Epang was already in power and controlled the political situation. The court officials were frightened by his power and had to agree with his arrangements.

So Li Liangzuo, a baby who was under one year old, was held on the throne of the emperor, and was the second emperor after the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty. His biological mother, Mozang, was honored as the empress dowager, and Epang was the prime minister of the country to take charge of military and political power. Since then, Mozang Epang has been authoritarian for more than ten years. He set up three generals to divide the country's government, and all the powers were controlled by Epang himself. He also sent envoys to inform the Song court and the Liao Kingdom. The Song court sent envoys to comfort him and appointed Li Liangzuo as King of Xia.

At the same time, a major event happened in the Song court. Wang Ze, who rebelled in Beizhou, was escorted to Biandu by Wen Yanbo, the envoy of Xuanfu, and Ming Hao, the deputy envoy of Xuandu. After interrogation, he was beheaded and displayed in public. Wang Ze was originally a farmer from Zhuozhou. He fled to Beizhou and herded sheep for the landlords. Later, he was recruited to serve as a soldier in the Song army and soon became a small school for Xuanyi's army. He went in and out of the military camp, and was forced to attract friends and interact with each other.

The Maitreya religion was secretly circulated among the people in Bei, Ji and other states. The legend said that "Sakya Buddha declined and Maitreya Buddha should be the world." The king used the legend of Maitreya religion to spread public opinion that changed the world. He used the Maitreya religion to contact the military and civilians of Dezhou and Qizhou, and received support from soldiers and farmers.

The provincial official Zhang Luan also pointed him as a co-worker and planned for him, and agreed to destroy the floating bridge in Chanzhou on the New Year's Day of the eighth year of Qingli to rebel. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Jia Changchao, who was left behind in Beijing, asking him to respond. Jia Changchao took the people and was imprisoned. The king was worried that the plan would be leaked, so he hurriedly on the winter solstice of the seventh year of Qingli without waiting for the agreed date.

, rise up and rebel with the masses.

The governor Zhang Deyi happened to visit Tianqingguan with his official subordinates. Unexpectedly, the rebels suddenly came and they had nowhere to escape, so they were all arrested. The rebels came to the Kumen again, robbed property accurately, and asked the Tongzong Dong Yuanheng for the key. Dong Yuanheng refused to give it, but instead scolded them sternly. These people were furious and immediately killed him. Then they killed the manager Wang Zhuang, the governor Li Hao and others, and robbed them in large numbers, disrupting the city.

Tian Bin, the chief of the military commander of the horse, led his soldiers to fight in street battles. In the end, because he was outnumbered, he had to escape from the city. The city gate was closed. He raised the Xingzhuo Tian Jing and others, escaped from the ropes, and retreated to Nanguan. He appeased the soldiers in the camp and killed the bandits. Nanguan was able to protect it. Ma Sui, the commander of Beijing, heard that Wang Ze rebelled, and hurriedly reported to Jia Changchao and asked to send troops to fight against the thieves.

However, Jia Chang Chaoshang thought that this matter was easy to deal with, so he ordered Ma Sui to take his hand to Beizhou to recruit surrender. Ma Sui came to Beizhou to indicate the good and bad fortune, but the king refused to surrender. Ma Sui got angry, raised his arms and died of choking his throat.

So the king occupied Beizhou, called himself the King of Dongping, established the country's name as Anyang, and changed the reign to the sage. Wang Tiao called Zhang Luan, the official of the state, as prime minister, and Bu Ji as the Privy Councilor. The residents of the uprising in the city stabbed the six words "The Rebel Army defeated Zhao Desheng" on their faces, indicating their determination to overthrow the Song Dynasty. Their flags and orders were all called Buddha, such as Dou Sheng Buddha, and Amitabha Buddha. There were buildings on all sides of the city, and he changed them to the state, and each of them was named. He appointed his disciples as magistrates, and set up a general manager on each side. Most of the people in the city fled over the city.

He issued a ban on the army as a guarantee, and one person left the city and all four were beheaded. After the Song court received the report, he ordered the Kaifeng prefect Ming Hao to be the sanctioned envoy and led his troops to attack. Ming Hao went straight to the city, and the provincial resident Wang Wenqing and others shot silk books from the city, expressing their willingness to be the inner responder.

In the middle of the night, Wang Wenqing and others put down the ropes and pulled the official army up the city wall. After hundreds of officials climbed the city wall, they were discovered by the soldiers under Wang Ze's command. So the two sides fought fiercely. After all, the official army was small and could not resist, so they had to go down with Wang Wenqing and others.

Beizhou City was tall and very strong. Ming Hao stacked soil to form a platform and attacked the city wall from a high place. As a result, he was set on fire by the opponent and burned the tent and could not stand. So the official army changed to the following idea, digging tunnels from the south city, pretending to launch an attack from the north to restrain the thief army. Just then, the envoy of Xuanfu Wen Yanbo arrived and ordered Ming Hao to be the deputy envoy. After Ming Hao received the order, he welcomed Wen Yanbo into the tent.

After the greetings, he continued to talk about military affairs. Wen Yanbo said, "The deputy envoy's memorial the day before yesterday was mostly obstructed. Have you ever known?" Minghao replied, "I think it's Xia Shumi." It turned out that after the third year of Qingli, Lu Yijian resigned from office in old age and illness, and died soon after. The Eight Great Kings Yuan Yan also died. Zhao Zhen appointed Yan Shu as Prime Minister and summoned Xia Shumi as Privy Councilor.

The censors Cai Xiang, Ouyang Xiu and others impeached Xia Sheng, saying that he was wronged in Shaanxi and cheated and acted as traitor, which was not enough to serve as a major position. Zhao Zhen then changed his name to the governor of Xia Sheng, Bozhou, and changed his position to Du Yan as the Privy Councilor, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi and others, and became the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor. Soon after, Yan Shu dismissed the prime minister and replaced him with Du Yan, and Jia Changchao as the Privy Councilor, and Chen Zhizhong was appointed as the political affairs officer.

Jia Changchao was feminine and deceitful, secretly colluded with the Chief Censor Wang Gongchen, and excluded Ren Du Yan, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi and others. Ren Zhizhong was also connected and regarded all the virtuous as friends, and repeatedly slandered them.
