EmperorQinzong (May 23, 1100 – June 14, 1161) was the ninth emperor of the Song Dynasty of China, and the last emperor of the Northern Song.
As the Song empire was faced with invasion by the Jurchen of the Jin Dynasty, Qinzong's father Emperor Huizong quickly abdicated in Qinzong's favour.
Qinzong was demoted to the rank of commoners on March 20, 1127, and on May 13, 1127 he was deported to far-away and bitter cold Northern Manchuria where he spent the last thirty four years of his life in confinement.
Emperor Huizong (November 2, 1082 – June 4, 1135) was the eighth and one of the most famous emperors of the Song Dynasty of China, with a personal life spent amidst luxury, sophistication and art but ending in tragedy.
Not content with the annexation of the Liao kingdom, and measuring rightly the weakness of the Song empire, the Jin soon declared war on their former ally, and by the beginning of 1126 they crossed the Yellow River and came in sight of Kaifeng, the capital of the Song empire.
Huizong, his son EmperorQinzong, as well as the entire imperial court and harem were captured by the Jin in the Jingkang Incident.
