Is Song Lizong Zhaoyun very capable? Why was he called "equal" during his reign?

In the ancient history of our country, every dynasty had an incompetent emperor, otherwise the dynasty could not perish. Similarly, many emperors have made great contributions and created many prosperous times, such as the rule of Zhenguan, the prosperous times of Kanggan and so on. However, there are many mediocre emperors. Many emperors work hard in the first half of their lives, and in the second half, they begin to covet and enjoy doing nothing. Song Lizong in the song dynasty was one of them, and so was his evaluation by later generations? Is it flatter? , which means having both merits and demerits.

Song Lizong was born in Song Lizong, Zhao Yun, the fifth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. He is the grandson of Zhao Kuangyin's son Zhao Dezhao. The real name is Zhao and Ju, and later it was renamed Zhao Guicheng. His name sounds rustic and doesn't match the identity of this royal descendant, but you won't think so when you know his identity. Zhao is not a prince. He was born in Shaoxing.

Shanyin County was a distant nephew of Tang in Zhao Kuo, Song Ningzong at that time. It can be said that his blood relationship with the royal family is about to be cut off. Zhaoyun's father is a small official in Shanyin County. Zhaoyun's life is no different from that of ordinary civilians. When he was seven years old, his father died, and his mother took him and his younger brother back to live with his uncle until he was sixteen. It is estimated that Zhao Yun doesn't know that he is related to the royal family.

At this time, eight sons of Zhao Kuo, the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, died in grief. In order to continue the blood of the royal family, he ordered Prime Minister Shi to look for well-behaved imperial clan children to inherit the throne of the Iraqi king. Shi gave this task to Yu Tianxi, and he was incompetent. When he was caught in a heavy rain in Shaoxing, he had to take shelter in Changbao's house. This Chang Bao is Zhao Yun's uncle, so they met. After learning that he was a member of Zhao's clan, later generations thought that his behavior was decent. After Song Ningzong's death, Shi, together with Empress Yang, falsely passed on Ningzong's testamentary edict, deposed Prince Zhao Yun as the king of economy and made Zhao Yun the son of heaven. Since then, Zhao Yun has changed from an ordinary teenager to an emperor.

Song Lizong and Song Lizong's throne, mixed merits and demerits, can be said to be picked up. A boy who grew up in the countryside can have any ability to govern the country. Plus, he has the support of the Prime Minister, so many things can't be decided by him alone. After he acceded to the throne, he was basically ignored by history and did not ask about political affairs. It was not until Shi died that he began to lead the country. At the beginning of his tenure, he was determined to revitalize the Southern Song Dynasty, and adopted a series of reform measures, such as ousting stone, remonstrating Taiwan, cleaning up official management and rectifying finance. But later, he fell into the hands of traitors such as Daquan Ding and Jia Sidao, and his national strength declined sharply. Song Lizong did something during his reign, but only because he was usurped by traitors twice, which led to the decline and weakness of the country. Therefore, the world later gave him mixed comments.
