Zhezong died of illness in the first month of the third year of Yuanfu (1100) without children, and the Empress Dowager Xiang established Zhao Ji as emperor in the same month, and changed the name of the year to "Jianzhong Yasukuni" the following year.

After Song Huizong ascended the throne, the new law was activated, but Cai Jing and others, who were reused by Song Huizong, did all kinds of evil under the banner of explaining the new law, and the political situation plummeted. Excessive pursuit of luxury life, in the south of the procurement of "Huashi Gang", in Bianjing to build "Genyue".

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty believed in Taoism, built a palace view, and proclaimed himself "the Taoist Emperor of the Sect",[1] and often asked Taoist priests to look at the calculations.

In the third year of Xuanhe (1121), Sanjing placed a female Taoist record and a deputy Taoist record as a member, and established the Taoist system.

Under the corrupt rule of the Huizong clique of the Song Dynasty, internal peasant uprisings were surging, and the Songjiang Uprising and the Fangla Uprising broke out successively, and the Northern Song Dynasty's rule was in crisis.

However, Song Huizong's attainments in art were extremely high. Huizong of the Song Dynasty had a very sincere love for painting, and he used the imperial power to promote painting, which led to an unprecedented development of the art of painting in the Song Dynasty. He also created a calligraphy font called "thin gold body" by later generations, and he loved to paint flowers and birds.

He was a rare artistic emperor in ancient times.

Song Huizong has been talented and intelligent since childhood, has a wide range of hobbies, pen and ink, Danqing, horseback riding and archery, and is also interested in exotic flowers and stones, all kinds of birds and animals, especially in calligraphy and painting, Song Huizong's talent is even more difficult for ordinary people to reach.

It's Song Hui (Hui) Zong, who is good at lyrics and songs, can't govern the country, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but can't govern the country and fight.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji is the younger brother of Song Zhezong.

Song Zhezong Zhao Xu is the sixth son of Song Shenzong, Song Huizong is the eleventh son of Song Shenzong Zhao Xu The only son Zhao Mao died at 3 months of birth, and the other 2 who lived to adulthood were all daughters.

In the first month of the third year of Yuan Fu (1100), Song Zhezong, who was only 25 years old, died of illness, and the prime minister Zhang Dian advocated according to the rites and laws, and should be the same mother and brother Jian Wang Zhao as if he was the eldest brother of Zhezong, otherwise he should be the eldest brother Shen Wang Zhao Li, but Xiang Empress Dowager (Empress Shenzong) thought that he had no children, and all the sons of Shenzong were concubines, and after excluding Zhao Ji who suffered from eye disease, he advocated that Zhao Ji, the second brother of Zhezong, could not rule the world, and refuted the opposition in the language of Song Shenzong: "The first emperor tasted the words: Duan Wang has a blessed life, and benevolence and filial piety, and should stand."

However, Empress Dowager Xiang, with the support of Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, Xu Jiang and other rulers, made Zhao Ji the emperor.

Zhao Ji of Song Huizong is the half-brother of Zhao Xu of Song Zhezong, Zhezong was born in December of the ninth year of Xining (1076 AD), and Huizong was born in May of the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082 AD), and the age difference between the two brothers is less than 6 years.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji is the half-brother of Song Zhezong Zhao Xu. Both of them are the sons of Zhao Ji of Song Shenzong. In 1085 (the eighth year of Yuanfeng), Zhao Ji died in Funing Hall at the age of 38, reigning for a total of 18 years, and the temple was called Shenzong.

After the death of Shenzong, he passed the throne to the sixth son (the previous 5 sons all died young) Song Zhezong, Song Zhezong died in 1100, no children, Shenzong's Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was the emperor, he was Song Huizong, the eleventh son of Shenzong.

As Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji was not only the supreme ruler, but also an active advocate and participant in the art of painting, and artistic creation was an important part of his imperial life. He was a mediocre and incompetent emperor, but an artist with considerable artistic accomplishment and artistic talent.

He attaches great importance to the Hanlin Painting Academy, often participates in art activities, and his flower and bird paintings, many works are circulated, and the styles are diverse, which can be seen that he is eclectic to traditional flower and bird paintings.

Zhao Ji's artistic thoughts, painting style and calligraphy have an influence on later generations, in the painting world quite "ancient" and unique and rich painting style, he proposed that the essence of art "retro" is to create a new style of painting, calligraphy and painting are the same, advocate active practice and artistic thought is consistent, the influence on the Yuan four families is great.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji is a wrong rebirth of the art master, Song Huizong Zhao Ji was born in the Northern Song Dynasty Yuanfeng five years (1082), history records his birth, his father Song Shenzong dreamed of the Southern Tang Dynasty after the lord Li Yu came to see, later generations also believe that Huizong Zhao Ji has too much "Emperor of the Ancient Words" Li Yu's shadow.

Zhao Ji was proficient in calligraphy and painting all his life, and strongly advocated the formation and development of official painting academies, which made great contributions to the history of Chinese art, but he was really not the material of the emperor.

Song Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, whose real name was Zhao Ji (May 5, 1082 – June 4, 1135), was the eleventh son of Song Shenzong, the younger brother of Song Zhezong, and the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Ji was successively named the king of Suining and the king of Duan. When Song Zhezong died of illness in January 1100 AD, he had no children.

In the same month, Xiang made him queen. In the second year, the country name was changed to "Jianzhong Guo Jing". Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty reigned for 25 years (February 23, 1100 – January 18, 1126).

He was caught, tortured, and then died. He died at the age of 54 and was buried in You Yongling (35 miles southeast of Keqiao District, Shaoxing, Zhejiang). He created a calligraphy font of his own, which was called "Thin Gold Font" by later generations.

It was evaluated by later generations as "Song Huizong is omnipotent, but he can't be alone!" ”

After Song Huizong became emperor, he successively made one mistake after another that pushed the Northern Song Dynasty to the abyss of destruction.

First of all, in terms of political line, he abandoned the conservative Sima Guangism and adopted the aggressive Wang Anshiist line. Song Huizong's adoption of "Wang Anshiism" was mainly due to his fantastical idealistic temperament. He wanted to be an aggressive emperor like his father Song Shenzong, but his mistake was that he did not have the clear long-term goals of Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi, but only adopted their methods of accumulating wealth one-sidedly.

Second, in terms of organizational line, he reused a group of reformists who had suffered political blows and were eager to advance and be greedy for merit. Song Huizong mainly used two kinds of people: one is a person with particularly strong executive power, such as Cai Jing and Zhu Mian; One is people who have actual performance, such as Tong Guan.

These two types of people have a common characteristic: they have selfish desires and do not consider the public consequences of things.

Finally, the change of order undermines the seriousness of the political system and the consistency of policies. Changing the policy that eunuchs were not allowed to be envoys and lead troops to preside over military affairs, he began to use the imperial pen edict, and even let the eunuchs act as the imperial pen, which destroyed the edict issuance system of the Song Dynasty. It has seriously undermined the checks and balances of power and caused extreme corruption in the government.
