This bearded man is the cousin of the Xixia Emperor, named Liang Chengwanggao.
As we all know, the current Xixia Kingdom is nominally controlled by the emperor.
But the person who actually controlled the entire Xixia Kingdom was the woman behind the emperor, Princess Liang.
When talking about Concubine Liang, we have to mention the militaristic war madman back then, "Empress Dowager Xiao Liang"!
Empress Dowager Xiaoliang can be said to be the most talked-about person in the history of the entire Xixia Kingdom.
She was originally the daughter-in-law of the uncle of the Xixia Emperor, that is, the emperor's sister-in-law.
She comes from a famous family, and she has had the ambition to be higher than the sky since she was a child.
Generally, women from famous families are born to get married.
However, she used her identity to secretly have an affair with Li Jingzuo, the young emperor of Xixia who had become the emperor but was always controlled by his mother.
He noticed the desire to resist hidden in Li Jingzuo's eyes.
Sure enough, with her help, Li Jingzuo began to resist.
And he killed his unscrupulous uncle, who had been manipulating the government and the public, and the entire matriarchal clan!
This woman whose thoughts were higher than the sky also changed from the emperor's cousin to the emperor's woman.
While she became the emperor's wife, she also entered the harem and killed the emperor's wife, the queen.
The reason is very simple, because this queen is the emperor's cousin and his uncle's daughter!
The two are sisters-in-law.
Isn’t it very messy?
It’s okay to be chaotic!
As the old saying goes, there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, no one will be spared by heaven!
Li Jingzuo has lived in the shadow of his mother's family since he was a child, but not long after Li Jingzuo's death, Empress Dowager Xiao Liang became the shadow of the new emperor again, and it got worse!
She completely controlled the entire Xixia Kingdom and had power over everything.
Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed with a stick!
Even when facing Liao and Song, she often spoke arrogantly!
Nowadays, someone will definitely give me the title of "Liang Daodun".
People's comments about her are that she is a war madman!
She desperately wanted to expand the Xixia Kingdom and become the supreme being.
He even wanted to get closer to Wu Zetian, the female emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
It's a pity that she has such thoughts but does not have such ability!
In her twilight years, the Empress Dowager Xiao Liang arranged everything early in order to consolidate her position and power as a whole in the Liang family, and at the same time to prevent the tragedy that happened to her former father-in-law from happening again.
Almost all the emperors of Xixia Kingdom were puppets!
Most of the power is still in the hands of the Liang family!
Among them, there was a very capable and talented emperor, Li Qianshun.
Li Qianshun succeeded to the throne at the age of three and chose to endure it all the time. It was not until he used an envoy from the Liao Kingdom to poison Empress Dowager Xiao Liang's decoction that the life of "Liang Daodun" ended.
Originally, Li Qianshun should have had smooth sailing so far, and even took advantage of the wars between the Jin, Liao and Song countries to march into Hexi and seize large tracts of land.
However, things didn't go as planned because Wu Zhi came!
Due to Wu Zhi's butterfly effect, this talented and resourceful emperor wanted to send troops several times to seize the vast and fertile land in Hexi.
But because of Wu Zhi's frequent actions, it could not be realized.
The anger in my chest was so intense that I once fell off while riding a horse and was bedridden for three months.
And Concubine Liang, the niece and grand-niece of Empress Dowager Xiao Liang.
The woman who had been told by fortune tellers since she was a child that she had a destiny, took advantage of this opportunity and decisively concentrated all the power of her mother's clan to give it a try!
Forcibly, this talented and strategic emperor was forced to death on the hospital bed.
Later, Concubine Liang supported her sister's son and became the emperor.
