brief introduction

/kloc-in 0/74, Song Duzong died of alcoholism, and four-year-old Song Gongdi became emperor with the support of treacherous court official Jia Sidao.

My grandmother thanked the queen, and my mother was the whole queen, listening to politics, but the military power was still in Jia Sidao's hands.

At that time, the Mongolian Yuan Army occupied the northern half of China. After controlling Xiangfan, the most important passage in the south, he crossed the Yangtze River and headed for Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Fortunately, "he" stood beside him under the command of the queen mother, begging for peace of the Yuan army. Yuan's army broke through the national defense line and surrendered to the States in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

1275, Jia Sidao led 30,000 troops to defeat the Yuan Army in Wuhu. Soon, Xie had to kill Jia Sidao under the oppression of the whole country. However, it was too late, and the Song Dynasty came to an end, and its demise was inevitable.

In the middle of the same year, the Yuan Army occupied most of Jiangdong.

On January 18th, 1276, Yuan Jun came to Lin 'an. The court in the Southern Song Dynasty did not talk about peace, so it had to surrender to the Yuan Army. In the same year, Empress Dowager Cixi took the five-year-old emperor Song Gongdi out of the city to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. Later, the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty fought against the Yuan Dynasty in Fujian, Guangdong and other places. Finally, 1279, Zhao Min, the eight-year-old emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, was cornered by the Yuan Army and jumped into the sea and died. The Southern Song Dynasty finally perished.

After Song Gongdi was captured, the Yuan Dynasty made him the King of Winning. Kublai Khan was in Yuan Shizu for twenty-six years. In Yuan Shizu, Kublai Khan suddenly gave Song Gongdi, aged 19, a large sum of money to become a monk in Tibet. As a result, the little emperor Song Gongdi became a monk, made many contributions to Buddhism and translated many Buddhist scriptures.

When Song Gongdi grew up, he became interested in Tibetan Buddhism. At the age of eighteen, with the support of Kublai Khan, he became a monk in Sakya Temple in Tibet. After Sun Xuecheng entered Tibet, he translated China's two Buddhist works, namely, Enlightenment of Hundred Dharmas and Enlightenment of the Right Dharma, both of which were in Tibetan.

Later, in the third year of Yuan Yingzong's rule, Song Gongdi knew his previous identity and wrote a poem "In Yanjing":

Message to Lin Hejing: How often do plum blossoms bloom?

The golden audience guests should not come back.

This poem fully shows his yearning for the Southern Song Dynasty, and expresses Song Gongdi's condemnation of the Yuan government's unreasonable attack on the Southern Song Dynasty and violation of the literary inquisition. Later, when the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty found out about it, he was very angry and ordered Song Gongdi to be executed at the age of 53.

As for the ending of Song Gongdi, there is a sentence in the Chinese translation of Buddha's Tale: "In April of the third year of Zhi Zhi, I died in the Hexi Golden Book of Tibetan Scriptures as a gift to the British Lord."
