Administrative Reforms under Jin Emperor Ruizong

Timeline

1. 1130–1132Shaanxi Circuit · ShaanxiLeft Vice Commander Wanyan Zongfu led troops to pacify Shaanxi's five circuits, winning over the garrisons of Gong, Tao, Xi and other prefectures, stationing garrisons, and implementing a dual governance model of meng-an mou-ke alongside Han-style prefectures and counties, incorporating the newly occupied territories into the Jin circuit-prefecture administrative system.
2. 1132–1135Huining Prefecture · HeilongjiangAfter returning from campaign, Zongfu supported making Wanyan Dan Amban Bogile at the bogile council, establishing the order of imperial succession, weakening the princes' divided power, and advancing the transition from Jurchen aristocratic collective deliberation toward centralized imperial power.
3. 1135Guizhou · HebeiWanyan Zongfu fell ill and died en route to Huining; Emperor Taizong of Jin soon passed away, and Wanyan Dan ascended the throne as Emperor Xizong. Xizong immediately moved to abolish bogile-assisted governance and establish the rudiments of the Three Departments and Six Ministries, continuing the Han-style administrative reforms begun in Taizong's final years.
