Emperor Ningzong (personal name Kuo), posthumously titled Fatian Beidao Chunde Maogong Renwen Zhewu Shengrui Gongxiao, was Guangzong's second son; his mother was Empress Ciyi of the Li clan. While Guangzong was still Prince of Gong, Lady Ciyi dreamed the sun fell into the courtyard and that she caught it in her hands; she soon conceived. He was born at the princely residence on the bingwu day of the tenth month of the fourth year of Qiandao (1168); in the fifth month of the following year he received his current personal name. On the yichou day of the eleventh month he was made general of the Right Qianniu Guard. In the seventh year Guangzong was installed as crown prince. On the wuwu day of the tenth month of the fifth year of Chunxi (1178) he was transferred to surveillance commissioner of Ming Prefecture and enfeoffed as Duke of Ying. In the second month of the seventh year he began formal instruction under a tutor.

九年正月，始冠。 十年九月己巳，始預朝參。 十一年，當出閣，兩宮愛之，不欲令居外，乃建第東宮之側，以十月甲戌遷焉。
In the first month of the ninth year he underwent the coming-of-age capping ceremony. On the jisi day of the ninth month of the tenth year he first took part in court audiences. In the eleventh year, when he was due to leave the inner palace, both empresses favored him and did not want him living away from court; a residence was built beside the Eastern Palace, and on the jiaxu day of the tenth month he moved in.

紹熙元年春，宰相留正請立帝爲儲嗣。
In the spring of the first year of Shaoxi (1190), Chancellor Liu Zheng petitioned to name him crown prince.
5
五年六月戊戌，孝宗崩，光宗以疾不能出。 壬寅，宰臣請太皇太后垂簾聽政，不許； 請代行祭奠之禮，從之。 丁未，宰臣奏云：「皇子嘉王，仁孝夙成。 宜正儲位，以安人心。」 越六日，奏三上，從之。 明日，遂擬旨以進。 是夕，御批付丞相云：「歷事歲久，念欲退閑。」
On the wuxu day of the sixth month of the fifth year of Shaoxi (1194), Xiaozong died, and Guangzong, ill, could not leave the palace. On the renyin day the chief ministers asked the Grand Empress Dowager to rule from behind the curtain; she refused; they then asked to conduct the mourning sacrifices on his behalf, and this was approved. On the dingwei day the chief ministers memorialized: "Prince Jia has shown benevolence and filial devotion from his youth. He should be named heir to reassure the realm." Six days later, after three such memorials, the court assented. The next day a draft edict was prepared and submitted. That evening Guangzong sent the chancellor an imperial rescript: "I have reigned long enough and wish to retire."
6
七月辛酉，留正以疾辭去。 知樞密院事趙汝愚見正去，乃遣韓侂胄因內侍張宗尹以禪位嘉王之意請于太皇太后，不獲。 遇提舉重華宮關禮，侂胄因其問，告之。 禮繼入內，泣請于太皇太后，太皇太后乃悟，令諭侂胄曰：「好爲之！」 侂胄出，告汝愚，命殿帥郭杲夜分兵衛南北內［一］。
On the xinyou day of the seventh month Liu Zheng resigned, citing illness. Zhao Ruyu, commissioner of the Bureau of Military Affairs, saw Liu Zheng leave and sent Han Tuozhou, through the eunuch Zhang Zongyin, to ask the Grand Empress Dowager to abdicate in favor of Prince Jia; she refused. Tuozhou then met Guan Li, supervisor of Chonghua Palace, and when Li inquired, told him the plan. Guan Li went in at once, weeping as he pleaded with the Grand Empress Dowager; she finally understood and told Tuozhou through a messenger: "See it through properly! Tuozhou came out, informed Zhao Ruyu, and ordered palace commander Guo Gao to post troops through the night guarding the northern and southern inner palaces.
7
翌日禫祭，汝愚率百官詣大行柩前，太皇太后垂簾，汝愚率同列再拜，奏：「皇帝疾，不能執喪，臣等乞立皇子嘉王爲太子，以安人心。」 乃奉御批八字以奏。 太皇太后曰：「既有御筆，卿當奉行。」 汝愚曰：「內禪事重，須議一指揮。」 太皇太后允諾。 汝愚袖出所擬以進，云：「皇帝以疾，未能執喪，曾有御筆，欲自退閑，皇子嘉王擴可即皇帝位。 尊皇帝爲太上皇，皇后爲太上皇后。」 太皇太后覽畢，曰：「甚善。」
The next day, at the end-of-mourning rites, Zhao Ruyu led the officials before Xiaozong's bier while the Grand Empress Dowager sat behind the curtain. Ruyu bowed with his colleagues and said: "The emperor is too ill to preside over mourning; we ask that Prince Jia be made crown prince to steady the realm." He then presented Guangzong's eight-character rescript as evidence. The Grand Empress Dowager said: "Since there is an imperial hand, you should execute it. Zhao Ruyu replied: "An abdication within the palace is a grave matter; we need a formal order." The Grand Empress Dowager agreed. Zhao Ruyu produced from his sleeve the draft he had prepared: "The emperor, ill, cannot conduct mourning and has written that he wishes to retire. Prince Jia Kuo may immediately ascend the throne. The emperor shall be honored as Retired Emperor and the empress as Retired Empress." After reading it through, the Grand Empress Dowager said: "Excellent."
8
汝愚出，以旨諭帝，帝固辭曰：「恐負不孝名。」 汝愚曰：「天子當以安社稷、定國家爲孝，今中外憂亂，萬一變生，置太上皇何地！」 衆扶入素幄，披黃袍，方卻立未坐，汝愚率同列再拜。 帝詣几筵殿。 哭盡哀。 須臾立仗訖，催百官班，帝衰服出，就重華殿東廡素幄立，內侍扶掖，乃坐。 百官起居訖，乃入行禫祭禮。 詔建泰安宮，以奉太上皇、太上皇后。 汝愚即喪次請召還留正。 乙丑，太皇太后命立崇國夫人韓氏爲皇后。 丙寅，大赦。 百官進秩一級，賞諸軍。 詔車駕五日一朝泰安宫，百官月两朝。 以即位告於天地、宗廟、社稷。
Zhao Ruyu went out and told the prince; Kuo firmly refused, saying: "I fear the charge of unfilial conduct." Zhao Ruyu said: "A ruler's filial duty is to secure the realm. The court and country are in turmoil; if anything goes wrong, what becomes of the retired emperor?" The officials helped him into the white mourning canopy and draped the yellow robe on him; he had stepped back and not yet sat when Zhao Ruyu led his colleagues in bowing. The new emperor went to the Hall of the Spirit Tablet. He wept his fill. Soon the guard was drawn up and the officials hurried into formation. The emperor came out in mourning garb, stood in the white canopy in the eastern corridor of Chonghua Hall, was steadied by attendants, and then sat. After the officials had paid their respects, he conducted the end-of-mourning rites. An edict ordered Tai'an Palace built to house the retired emperor and empress. At the mourning site Zhao Ruyu at once asked that Liu Zheng be recalled. On the yichou day the Grand Empress Dowager named Lady Han of Chongguo empress. On the bingyin day a general amnesty was proclaimed. All officials were promoted one grade and the armies were rewarded. An edict required the emperor to visit Tai'an Palace every five days and officials to attend twice a month. The accession was announced at the rites to Heaven and Earth, the ancestral temples, and the state altars.
