ABSTRACT

Emperor Aizong of the Jin Dynasty was suspicious and did not trust his high-ranking ministers. His reliance on the Jinshi reached an unprecedented level during his reign. Compared to other periods of the Jin dynasty, Emperor Aizong's era exhibited four distinct characteristics regarding the use of Jinshi: promoting scholars as Jinshi, too much trust in Jinshi, the emperor's decisions swayed by Jinshi and military tasks assigned to Jinshi. The negative impact of Emperor Aizong's employment of Jinshi far outweighed the positive one, causing military defeats against the Mongols, contributing to discord within the state and accelerating the downfall of the dynasty.
