Ep. 135 | The Song Emperor Huizong (Part 4)

In this final installment examining the life of Emperor Huizong, we look at the series of events that followed the Jürchens’ Seige of Kaifeng in 1126-1127.  What followed was the Jingkang Incident, which for centuries made Chinese bow their heads in shame.  

The entire Song imperial family was captured and sent north to live out the rest of their lives in the harsh lands far beyond The Great Wall. But the Jin conquerors did not destroy the Song. The Zhao family continued to keep the dynasty alive in the south.
