by Yu Yunguo
About This Novel
This book selects the two emperors Guangzong and Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, who were in the period of rule and decline in the Southern Song Dynasty, as the research subjects. It profoundly reveals the political and social problems in the middle period of the Southern Song Dynasty from the farce of inner Zen, the Qingyuan party ban, foreign wars, and the dictatorship of power ministers. It also analyzes the process and reasons of the involuntary decline of the Southern Song Dynasty in the Guang and Ning dynasties. This book believes that the reversal of the historical trend of the Southern Song Dynasty took shape in the Guang and Ning eras. The collapse of the imperial power of the Southern Song Dynasty and the dictatorship of power ministers began in this period. The paper money credit trend that broke out in the early years of Jiading marked that the social economy of the Southern Song Dynasty fell into a state of comprehensive imbalance. Dilemma, the defeat of the Kaixi Northern Expedition and the defeat of the Jiading Campaign foreshadowed the defeat of the Southern Song Dynasty in the upcoming Song-Mongolian War, and the precursor of the official academicization of Neo-Confucianism in the Jiading period reflected the urgency of the ruling class to seek help from new ruling ideas in the face of social crises.
