King Li Yuanhao of Western Xia was entirely provoked into rebellion by Cai Jing and his band of treacherous men.
Back in the Capital City, Li Yuanhao had not paid a visit to Cai Jing's faction, which drew their jealousy and hatred.
Cai Jing and Wang Fu, along with Li Bangyan, decided after discussion to use the opportunity of selecting a concubine for the Emperor, and demanded Li Yuanhao to send his daughter, Li Shishi, into the palace.
Li Yuanhao already couldn't stand these villains, and now being bullied by them at his doorstep, how could he endure this?
He had the envoy sent by Cai Jing bound up and blatantly defied Huizong's decree.
This was exactly the outcome Cai Jing's group wanted, and they immediately reported to Huizong, claiming Li Yuanhao was untamable and disobedient to royal authority and must be subdued by the power of the throne to demonstrate the Imperial Court's dignity.
