  Emperor Qinzong of Song - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emperor Qinzong (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 Gaozong (June 12, 1107 – November 9, 1187), born Zhao Gou, was the tenth emperor of the Song Dynasty of China, and the first emperor of the Southern Song.
Gaozong was the 9th son of Emperor Huizong and the younger half-brother of Emperor Qinzong.
One of the major reasons behind this was that Gaozong and the traitorous premier Qin Hui did not actually want the Song army to defeat the Jurchens, as this might result in Emperor Qinzong being restored to the throne.

During the Song Dynasty, there were many threats from the northern borders by the Khitans (契丹) from the Liao Dynasty (遼朝), Tanguts from the Western Xia (西夏) Dynasty, and the Jurchens (女真)from the Jin dynasty (金朝).
The reason was that Qinzong, the last emperor of the Northern Song was living in Jin-imposed exile in Manchuria and had a good chance of being recalled to the throne should the Jin Dynasty be destroyed.
It is also in their invasion of Southern Song, that the Mongols suffered some of the most humilating defeats, notably the death of Mongke Khan in action, the first and only Khan ever to be killed in an invasion launched by Mongols.
