Emperor Huizong of Western Xia

Emperor Huizong (1060–1086), born Li Bingchang 李秉常, was the 3rd emperor of the Western Xia (reigned 1067–1086).

After his father's sudden death, Huizong assumed the throne at the young age of six. His mother became the regent for the rest of Huizong's reign. In 1076, Huizong turned sixteen, and was supposed to assume direct control of the throne, but was stopped by the enormous influence of the Dowager. He was depressed by the control of his mother, and Huizong later died at the young age of 26.

Huizong was succeeded by Emperor Chongzong of Western Xia.
