Emperor Gaozong of Song
1107 CE–1187 CE · Hangzhou (Lin'an)
Emperor Gaozong of Song (Zhao Gou, 1107-1187) was the founder of the Southern Song dynasty, reigning from 1127 to 1162. After Jin forces captured the northern capital and much of the imperial family, he re-established the dynasty in the south, eventually settling the court at Lin'an (modern Hangzhou). He supported a policy of negotiated peace with the Jin, sanctioning the 1141 treaty and the execution of the general Yue Fei who had favored continued war; he abdicated in 1162 but retained influence as retired emperor until his death.
