Emperor Jingzong became emperor an early age of 15 and his short reign would be overshadowed by corrupt military eunuchs that would come to dominate his rule as well as his younger brother who eventually became emperor Wenzong. Uninterested in ruling, Jingzong gave into pleasure seeking and lived in opulence while eunuchs such as Wang Shouchen and officials such as Li Fengji held onto real power.
In 826, after reigning less than 3 years, emperor Jingzong was murdered by another corrupt eunuchs named Liu Keming and was succeeded by his younger brother. Jingzong was only 17 when he died.
