Li Siyuan was good at riding and shooting when he was young, and he was honest. He was adopted by Li Keyong. Later, in a plot, Li Keyong was in deep danger, Li Siyuan risked his life to save Li Keyong, and Li Keyong turned the corner.
After this incident, Li Keyong began to reuse Li Siyuan and sent Li Siyuan to pacify the war many times. Li Siyuan also lived up to expectations and won many battles. In 923, Li Siyuan successfully closed the Fengqiu Gate again, and even followers of the Tang Dynasty came to congratulate him.
After the Tang Dynasty, Zhuang Zong also said that his whole world belongs to Li Siyuan, so he should enjoy it with Li Siyuan. But instead of keeping his promise, he was very suspicious of Li Siyuan and wanted to get rid of it.
In 926 AD, Yecheng was in turmoil and the situation was tense. After that, Tang sent for Li Siyuan. As a result, the soldiers recommended Li Siyuan as king. After that, Don was also killed. As a last resort, Li Siyuan had to ascend to the throne.
Although Li Siyuan can't read, he is a good king. During his administration, he not only reduced taxes many times to alleviate the pressure on farmers' lives, but also severely punished corrupt officials in the imperial court, even at the expense of righteousness.
In 933, Li Siyuan fell ill. His second son, Li Congrong, came to see him. Because there was crying in the palace, Li calmly thought that Li Siyuan was dead, so he immediately rose up and rebelled to seize the throne. Li Siyuan was so shocked that he finally killed Li calmly.
Li Siyuan failed to recover from the shock and died soon.
