Is Song Gaozong a fatuous emperor? Why did he live to be eighty-one?

Zhao Gou, the son of Song Huizong, was born in the first year of Daguan. A year later, Zhao Gou was named King of Guangping County, and three years later, he was named Kang Wang. Zhao Gou is a very clever man. He has been very smart since he was a child, likes reading and has a superior memory. It is said that he read a lot of books and wrote them down. In the fourth year of Xuanhe, Zhao Gou held an adult ceremony, and then he moved to a mansion outside the palace.

In the first year of Jingkang, the nomads from the army attacked Kaifeng. At that time, the nomads from the army had great advantages, so they ordered the Song Dynasty to send princes and ministers to peace talks. At that time, Song Qinzong invited Zhao Gou to attend, and Zhao Gou agreed without saying anything. He was not afraid of life and death, and then he came to the Nomads Army Camp and was detained by the Nomads Army. Zhang Bangchang, who went with him at that time, was very scared, but Zhao Gou didn't move. At that time, the nomads from the army was very surprised to see Zhao Gou appear in this way, and all thought that Zhao Gou.

In the second year of Jingkang, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were both captured by the nomads from Shanxi Province. Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne in Nanjing and became the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, the Southern Song regime had just been established. In order to consolidate his political power, he was forced to reuse Li Gang as prime minister. In the second year of Jianyan, Nomads from Zhao Gou appointed Liu Yu as the magistrate of Jinan. A year later, the nomads from the army attacked Yangzhou, and Zhao Gou fled across the river in a mess. At that time, under the pressure of public opinion, he killed Huang Qian Shan and others. Later, in the face of domestic troubles and foreign invasion, Zhao Gou and Song Gaozong chose to send envoys to go south with the nomads from Shandong, but he fled south. He fled from Yuezhou to Mingzhou, then to Dinghai, and finally to Wenzhou until Jianshan. Zhao Gou was lucky to return to Shaoxing. Since Shanxi nomads temporarily stopped invading south, Zhao Gao began to deploy elite soldiers to suppress insurgents and bandits in Jiangxi and other places, thus consolidating his political power.

In addition, he also made some arrangements for the defense of the nomads from afar, appointed Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others to be responsible for the defense of Jiang, Huai and other places, and reused Qin Gui as the prime minister, and Yue Fei was suppressed. In this regard, Zhao Gou's approach is extremely incorrect. He didn't reuse the minister, but listened to the wrong remarks. In the second year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou moved the capital to Hangzhou.

In the 11th year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong won successive wars. Zhao Gou is worried that these generals have too much credit and power, and he is afraid that he can't get rid of the nomads from the army. So Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were relieved of their military power, and finally they decided to make peace with the gold watch. After that, Zhao Gou began his fatuous rule. He and Qin Gui framed Yue Fei together, framed Yue Fei's rebellion, and finally put Yue Fei to death. Later, he began to sign a humiliating Shao Xinghe with the ruler. After signing a contract with the ruler, Qin Gui became the prime minister. Although Zhao Gou was suspicious of him, he still did whatever he wanted. After his death, he still left the power of the DPRK in the hands of those who were subservient to Nuo Nuo. He still needed to contribute 252,000 pieces of silver and 250,000 pieces of silk to the ruler every year. As long as Jin asked the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would try its best to meet it.

The weakness of Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou made the Song Dynasty succumb to the rulers again and again, framed good ministers, and reused treacherous court officials and traitors, which made the Southern Song Dynasty malodorous. In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing, the rulers invaded south again. This time, Zhao Gou still wanted to escape, but in the end, the ruler failed to invade the south and finally achieved peace. A year later, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was exhausted by the long-term game with the ruler. After being emperor for 36 years, he finally abdicated to his adopted son Zhao Shen, claiming that he was the father of Emperor Song Xiaozong.

Zhao was fifty-six when he was the emperor's father, but he lived to be eighty-one. Why did Song Gaozong live to such a big age?

Song Gaozong's life in his later years is very precious. After Song Gaozong abdicated, he seldom asked about North Korea's political affairs and began to enjoy life. He grows flowers and grass in the harem every day, drinks tea and plays with birds. He is very comfortable and relaxed, and pays great attention to health. In fact, we can see from Song Gaozong's past lives that Song Gaozong is a person who cherishes his life very much. Faced with the attack of the rulers, he blindly endured humiliation and made peace, ignored Yue Fei's words and advocated pacifism.

Zhao Gou is a very talented person. In his later years, he liked painting and was proficient in music and calligraphy. These are all self-cultivation things, which can calm people's minds and make them peaceful. There is nothing important for him to worry about in North Korea. In a carefree situation, people's mood will naturally be good, their health will be good, and their life will be long.
