In December of the second year of Tianxing (AD 1233), the outer city of Caizhou, the temporary capital of the Jin Dynasty (ruyang, now Runan, Henan), was captured by the Mongolian army. On the ninth day of the first lunar month of the second year, Emperor Aizong summoned all the officials and announced that Wanyan Chenglin, Marshal in the east, would be passed on.Of course, Cheng Lin was unwilling to accept this mess, and repeatedly pushed back. Ai Zong had no choice but to issue an edict stating his painstaking efforts: "I handed over the throne to you because of no other choice. It is only because I am fat and it is not convenient for me to gallop on horseback." ; You are nimble and nimble, and you have general strategy, if you can escape, you can keep the country alive, this is my wish." Speaking of this, Cheng Lin could no longer refuse.The next day, Cheng Lin took the throne, and after hastily held the ceremony, he hurried out to meet the enemy.At this time, the Song army from the south of the city had come all over the mountains and plains, and the sound of killing shook the sky.The golden soldiers defending the city were so frightened that they abandoned the door and fled, and the Song army invaded the east city.Cheng Lin was forced to lead the crowd to withdraw from Baozi City.Knowing that the doomsday had come, Aizong hanged himself in Youlanxuan and died.When Cheng Lin heard the news, he hurriedly led his ministers to cry for a funeral.At the time of the sacrifice, Zicheng was also breached, Song soldiers rushed in, and Cheng Lin was killed in the melee.The Kingdom of Jin also perished.
