定策扶危的宋代宗室宰相赵汝愚

赵汝愚是南宋孝、光、宁宗三朝举足轻重的人物,在光宗传位于宁宗的“绍熙内禅”中,他定策扶危,成功地实现了皇权的顺利交接,他是两宋唯一的宗室宰相,执政后补偏救弊,执行孝宗晚年的改革部署,在与韩胄的国权之争中,引发了“庆元党禁”,含冤而逝。但他“计定一时,功垂万世”,是“宋之公族”中“以术业自现”的杰出代表,他的政绩应给予充分的肯定。

ZHAO Ru-yu: an Imperial Prime Minister of Song Dynasty, Who Made Policies and Helped Those in Peril

ZHAO Ru-yu was an important person in Southern Song Dynasty,serving three emperors: Xiaozong,Guangzong,and Ningzong.In the period of Guangzong's passing throne to Ningzhong,he made policies,helped those in peril and then successfully carried out the smooth handing over of imperial power.He was the only imperial prime minister of Song Dynasties.He remedied defects,rectified errors while in power,and carried out the reform assignment of Xiaozong's later years.In the scrample for power with HAN Tuo-zhou,he initiated the ban of Qinyuan Party,and later died uncleared of a false charge.However,because he had made policies for a long time,and his meritorious deeds had gone down in history,with his remarkable academic skills,he was regarded as an outstanding representative of Song' s princes and dukes and his achievements in his political career should be fully affirmed.
