Years: 1211 - 1211
Corruption has risen to new heights during Xiangzong's reign, and the peasants are mired in poverty.
The Western Xia army is also untrained and ill-equipped.
Xiangzong abdicates after his nephew Lǐ Zūnxū stages a coup d'état and seizes power as Emperor Shenzong; Xiangzong dies a month later in the same year, 1211.
Shenzong continues his predecessor's policy of invading the Jin Empire.
