After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, if the Jin people were to release Song Huizong, would Zhao Gou's life be easy?

After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, if the Jin people returned Song Huizong to the Song Dynasty, then Zhao Gou's life would still be the same, and he could still continue to be his emperor. Because at that time Song Huizong had completely lost the support of the people and there was no danger to Zhao Gou. On the contrary, whether Song Huizong's life will be good or not depends on his caring attitude.

A similar thing happened in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Mongols imprisoned Ming Yingzong and then released Ming Yingzong back to his original country. At that time, after Ming Yingzong returned to the Ming Dynasty, he successfully started an internal fight, which led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. When the Jin State attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, the cunning Jin people deceived the Northern Song Dynasty in the name of seeking peace. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty paid a large amount of money to the Jin Kingdom, and Song Huizong was even more pitiful. Even his harem concubines were given to the Jin Kingdom. It can be said that Song Huizong was the puppet of the Jin people at that time.

It was because of the imprisonment of Song Huizong that Zhao Gou could successfully ascend the throne. During Zhao Gou's reign, the Southern Song Dynasty developed very well. At that time, he was very popular among the people in the court. But Song Huizong was different. The entire Northern Song Dynasty was going to defeat Song Huizong. Therefore, even if the Jin Bing allowed Song Huizong to return to the Song Dynasty, it still could not change the political situation at that time.

Because the people lived in very poverty under the rule of Song Huizong, Song Huizong did not have the talent to be a national monarch. So of course people did not agree with Song Huizong continuing to be emperor. The treatment of Song Huizong after he returned to the Song Dynasty depended on Zhao Gou's attitude at that time. If Zhao Gou was more benevolent, he would give Song Huizong some rewards; if Zhao Gou was more rigorous, then he would kill Song Huizong to consolidate his rule.
