War between Song and Jin Dynasties
Song Huizong became emperor by accident, without any mental preparation or necessary experience.When he was still in the feudal residence, he was not very interested in Confucian classics and historical records, which were the main subjects of the prince's family. Instead, he had a strong interest in pen and ink painting, Cuju, riding and shooting, etc. He knew everything about cockfighting and lackeys.Gao Qiu, the footman of the consort Wang Shen, also became Zhao Ji's trusted servant because of his outstanding Cuju skills.
