In the seventeenth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1224), Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo died at the Funing Palace in Lin 'an at the age of 57. Stone, together with Empress Yang, falsely passed on Ningzong's testamentary edict, deposed the Prince as the King of Qi, made Zhao Guicheng the new emperor, and changed Zhao Yun's name. In this way, Zhao Yun, who had no chance to ascend to the throne, became the Ninth Five-Year Plan under the planning of the powerful minister. At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was in the midst of internal troubles and foreign invasion. In the later period of Ning Zongzhao's expansion, the situation in the north changed dramatically, Mongolia rose, and the Jin Dynasty was invaded by Mongolia year after year. The Song and Jin Wars resumed, starting from Shandong in the east and reaching Qin Long in the west, and both sides won and lost. In this special historical period, under the shadow of the history of powerful officials, Zhao Yun just indulged in debauchery and led a decadent life, never asking about government affairs. State affairs successively fell into the hands of traitors such as Daquan Ding and Jia Sidao, and the national situation declined rapidly. Under his lawless rule, this big ship floating in the Southern Song Dynasty is doomed to slide into an endless abyss.
Song Lizong Zhao Yun, the fifth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, is the grandson of Zhao Dezhao IX, the son of Zhao Kuangyin in Song Taizu. Real name Zhao, Ju, from Shanyin County, Shaoxing County. It turns out that they are not princes, but distant cousins of Zhao Kuo in Song Ningzong. Zhao Kuo ordered Prime Minister Shi to find a well-behaved imperial clan to succeed the king of Iraq. By chance, Zhao and Ju were elected to the palace by Ning Zong, renamed Zhao Guicheng, and succeeded to the king of Iraq. Only three years later, Ning died of illness in Lin 'an Palace. In order to maintain his control over state affairs, Shi, the powerful minister, decided to abolish the prince and establish Zhao Guicheng to explain the king. The purpose of this is nothing more than two. One is to make great efforts to control the state affairs, and the other is to show that the king has no power in the dynasty and is easy to control. In this way, together with Empress Yang, Shi passed on the posthumous edict of Ningzong, deposed the Prince as King Ji, made Zhao Guicheng the new emperor and renamed Zhao Yunwei. In the first ten years of his succession, Zhao Yun was held hostage by the powerful prime minister Shi, who did not ask about government affairs at all, but praised Neo-Confucianism and indulged in debauchery. It was not until six years later (1233) that Zhao Yuncai began to lead the state affairs after the death of Shi. At the beginning of the pro-government, he was determined to rejuvenate the country, and adopted reform measures such as ousting the historical party, remonstrating Taiwan Province, cleaning up official management, and rectifying finance, which was called "leveling and improving quality" in history.
However, this ideal of hard work only stops at the beginning. At this time, the Central Plains was filled with smoke, and Mongolia rose rapidly in the northern region, becoming another regime that posed a great threat to the Song Dynasty after Liao, Xixia and Jin. Faced with the rapidly changing situation, there was a debate about foreign policy within the Song Dynasty. Some people, out of hatred for the rulers, advocate joint destruction of gold and restoration of the Central Plains. Some people are relatively rational, citing the lessons of uniting gold to destroy Liao, emphasizing the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, hoping to use gold as a fan screen and not repeat the same mistakes. With the advance of the war between Mongolia and the rulers, Zhao Yun finally made a decision. Less than six years (1233), Zhao Yun sent troops to jointly destroy the gold and send troops to capture Dengzhou and other places. In Madden, he defeated the troops of Wu Jin Jun Xian, conquered Tang Zhou and cut off Jin Aizong's retreat. In the first month of the first year of Duanping (1234), Caizhou City was breached, Jin Aizong hanged himself, the last emperor Hong Yan Cheng Lin was killed by mutinous soldiers, and the State of Jin perished. On the occasion of the country's demise, Jin Aizong learned that Song had reached a joint agreement and sent messengers to win the support of the Southern Song Dynasty, trying to state the truth of interdependence, saying: "Dayuan destroyed the country for 40 years, and Xixia, the death of Xia reached me, and my death will reach Song. It's natural to lose your lips and get cold teeth. If you are connected with me, it is for me and for him. " It means that supporting the rulers is actually to help the Song Dynasty defend itself, but Zhao Yun refused Jin Aizong's request.
After Jin's death, the Mongolian army retreated northward and Henan was empty. In May of the first year of Duanping (1234), Zhao Yun appointed Zhao Kui as the head coach and Quan Zi as the pioneer, so he officially sent a letter to send troops to Henan. Although Song Junlian occupied the Guide House of Nanjing and Kaifeng, the old capital, Zhao Yun was ambushed by Mongols in Luoyang because of lack of food and grass, and his hope of returning to his native land was dashed again, with heavy losses and a hasty retreat. The failure of "crossing the border into Luoyang" caused heavy losses in the Southern Song Dynasty. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers died in battle, and a lot of materials were thrown into the water, which seriously weakened the national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty. More importantly, Mongolia found an excuse to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Song-Mongolian War broke out in an all-round way. Seeing that the Central Plains could not be recovered, Zhao Yun began to indulge in a dissolute life. State affairs fell into the hands of traitors such as Daquan Ding and Jia Sidao, and the national situation declined rapidly. In the subsequent battle of Ezhou, Prime Minister Jia Sidao surrendered to Mongolia in the name of Zhao Yun and completely ceded the land north of the Yangtze River. Li Zong cherished Yan Guifei, and spared no expense to use the national treasury, sending officials and soldiers to collect wood in various counties to build a merit hall for him. Yan Guifei colluded with treacherous officials such as Ma Tianji, Dong and others, and was known as "Yan Martin Dong" in history. She managed state affairs by chaotic politics, cronyism, exclusion of dissidents and framing loyalty.
In the fifth year of Ding Jing (1264), 1 1 month, Li Zong and Zhao Yun died of illness and reigned for forty years at the age of sixty. Zhao Qi, the posthumous prince, is the emperor. In March of the first year of Xianchun (1265), he was buried in Yongmuling, Huiji County. Only after more than ten years, 1276, the Mongolian army conquered Lin 'an and the Southern Song Dynasty perished. Subsequently, Yang Lian Jia Zhen, the president of Southern Buddhism, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, robbed the tombs of the emperors and empresses of the Southern Song Dynasty, stole the treasures from the tombs and abandoned the bones among grasshoppers. After the thieves robbed Rizong of all the treasures in his coffin, they hung Rizong's body upside down and pried open the luminous pearl in his mouth. Yang found the head of Japanese Sect and cut it into wine vessels.
