Personal name Gou. He was the ninth son of Huizong and was enfeoffed as the Prince of Kang. In the second year of Jingkang (1127), in the fifth month (which began on the day gengyin), the reign era was changed to Jianyan, and the twenty-first day of the fifth month was designated as the Tianshen Festival. Zhang Bangchang was banished to Tan Prefecture and soon after was granted suicide. In the third month of the third year of Jianyan (1129), Miao Fu, the Chief Controller of the Imperial Camp, and Liu Zhengyan, the Vice Controller, staged a mutiny, forcing the Emperor to abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince. The Emperor was housed in the Ruisheng Palace, and the Empress Dowager administered state affairs from behind a screen. On the eleventh day, the era was changed to Mingshou. Zhang Jun, Lü Yihao, Xin Yongzong, Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, and others raised troops in loyal service to the throne. The Emperor was restored and proceeded to Jiankang. In autumn, in the seventh month, Han Shizhong captured Miao and Liu alive, and they were dismembered in the marketplace of Jiankang. It was proposed to encamp at Yue Prefecture, setting out from Jiankang. The Jurchens invaded Jiankang and captured Hangzhou. The Emperor took to sea, reaching Wen Prefecture, and subsequently returned to Yue Prefecture. The imperial carriage moved to Hangzhou, and Hangzhou was elevated to Lin'an Prefecture. In the spring of the second year of Shaoxing (1132), in the first month (which began on the day guisi), on the renyin day, the Emperor departed Yue Prefecture. On the bingwu day, he took up residence at the Lin'an Prefecture post station. After a long while, Qin Hui returned from the Jin and devoted himself entirely to peace negotiations. Huizong, Qinzong, Empress Zheng, and Empress Xing successively passed away in Wuguo City. The Jin returned the lands of Henan and the imperial coffins in exchange for peace (buried at Yue Prefecture). Subsequently, the Jin invaded again, but Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Wu Lin, and others routed them thoroughly, whereupon they retreated. The Emperor distributed the Stone-Carved Admonitions brushed by Huang Tingjian to the prefectures and counties, revived the Imperial University, established the Two Institutes, opened the Classical Colloquium, personally tilled the sacred field, and regularized land boundaries. Qin Hui failed to grasp the imperial intention: he stripped the generals of their military authority to suppress the spirit of loyalty and righteousness, ultimately causing the lost territory never to be recovered. The Emperor was twenty-one years old when he ascended the throne. He reigned for thirty-six years, then abdicated to Xiaozong, styling himself Retired Emperor and residing in the Deshou Palace. He passed away at the age of eighty-two (Continuation of the Comprehensive Mirror of the Song). Jianyan (four years), Shaoxing (thirty-two years).
