The Song army entered Shangjing, and Zhao Huan took over the Jin imperial palace. After a fire, the main hall of the Shangjing imperial palace, Da'an Hall, was burned down. Zhao Huan now worked in Renzheng Hall.

"Appease the princes and old ministers who have come to the capital, and issue my decree. All the old ministers of the previous dynasty in Huining Prefecture shall not be disturbed. If they are willing to continue to serve as officials for the Great Song Dynasty, I will continue to recruit them based on their abilities. If they are unwilling to serve as officials, the court will provide them with consolation money and arrange for the resettlement of the old officials."

Zhao Huan was not good at fighting, but he was quite good at governing the country and pacifying the world.

The generals bowed their heads and accepted the order, and no one raised any objections.

"Remember, whether Jurchen or Han, regardless of status, we are all citizens of the Great Song. Anyone who bullies the Jurchens will be severely punished!"

"As you wish!"

Upon hearing Zhao Huan's decree, the entire Shangjing region erupted in joy and cheers. The Jurchens had feared the arrival of the Song army would bring an end to their prosperity, but unexpectedly, the emperor issued an order not to harass them. The people were jubilant, believing it was simply a change of emperor; a new emperor brings new ministers.

Many former Jin ministers also began to prepare to continue their official duties. Zhao Huan ordered a re-evaluation of the officials of the various departments in the capital, giving priority to those with high moral character and prestige. He was not afraid to give high positions and generous salaries to those with outstanding performance.

Han Shizhong led Zong Ze's troops directly to the north of Shangjing, and took advantage of the fact that the Mongols were overwhelmed by the invasion of Western Xia to occupy Baicheng, Yichun, Suihua and other places.

Because Kublai Khan was busy fighting against Wanyan Gao's army in Western Xia, he had no time to take care of the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty, so he acquiesced to the Song Dynasty's occupation of these strategic locations.

In this campaign against the Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty actually occupied nearly two-thirds of the entire territory of the Jin Dynasty, while the Mongols only occupied the Linhuang line and the vast but sparsely populated land north of Heilongjiang.

When the news reached Bianjing, the whole country rejoiced. Zhao Huan was even more arrogant and prepared to return to the court on a certain day.
