Is “Emperor Shenzong was the crown prince of Yingzong and succeeded to the throne.” true?
attested in history
The official history 'History of Song', Annals of Gaozong, Part 2, records: 'Thereupon, following the advice of the Vice Director of the Bureau of Merit Titles, Zhao Ding, they removed Wang Anshi from the temple of Shenzong and replaced him with Sima Guang.' This shows his historical existence. The novel 'Water Margin', Chapter 2, records: 'He reigned for four years and passed the throne to Crown Prince Shenzong.' This basically conforms to the historical timeline.
Emperor Shenzong
Son of Emperor Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty.
