In the fourteenth year of Xichun (1 187), Gaozong died of illness. In order to mourn, Xiaozong invited Prince Zhao Dun to participate in the state affairs. Two years later, Zen was located in the Prince, and Song Guangzong became the Prince after he succeeded to the throne. Xiao Cheng claimed to be the emperor's father, lived in China Hall and continued to mourn for Emperor Gaozong. Guangzong and Xiaozong are at odds and haven't visited Xiaozong for a long time. In addition, he had a difficult daughter-in-law who had nothing to do to provoke the relationship between father and son, and finally Xiaozong was depressed and sick. Finally, in the fifth year of Shaoxi in Song Guangzong (1 194), Xiaozong died in Zhonghua Temple in Lin 'an.
Speaking of Song Xiaozong, although he didn't make any achievements in foreign wars, he did a good job in internal affairs. Song Xiaozong is a good emperor who is diligent and thrifty. History books say that Song Xiaozong's "respect and thrift" means respect and thrift. During his administration, he refused to enjoy himself, did not build large buildings, and even rarely used his life. At the same time, he actively rectified bureaucracy, reduced redundant staff, punished corruption, developed production and attached importance to agriculture. With his efforts, he has a "clean rule".
Although he is not bad in politics, he did fail in education. After the death of the prince, Xiaozong did not make his second son a prince, but made his third son Zhao Dun. The main reason is that Zhao Dun is such a pretentious film actor. He was respectful in front of Xiaozong, diligent and very filial, and succeeded in confusing Xiaozong. Later, Gaozong died of illness, and in less than two years, Xiaozong gave way to Guangzong. But he didn't expect that Guangzong, who has been so diligent in front of his face, turned his face and denied people as soon as he got to the top. I have never seen myself again. My daughter-in-law is a tough and capable person. If anything happens, I'll sow discord between father and son. Filial piety, which was extremely filial before his death, was very ill. Under the double blow of his disobedient and unfilial son and daughter-in-law, the evening scene was bleak and he finally died.
