It is rumored that Li Yong accepted bribes from Wang Hao during his tenure as prime minister and used his power to seek personal gain for Wang Hao. After this corruption incident was exposed, it aroused the dissatisfaction and anger of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which eventually led to the murder of Li Yong.
Besides corruption itself, there are other factors that may have influenced Li Yong's murder. For example, during his tenure as an official, Li Yong once raised objections to the decisions of some officials, which may involve some political interest groups.
These interest groups may have found an opportunity through Li Yong's corruption and retaliated against him. In addition, Li Yong's political stance may also conflict with the political environment at that time, which also became one of the reasons why he was killed.
