Goryeo Ruizong (Korean: 고려 예종/Goryeo Myejong goryeo yejong; 1079–1122) was a Korean monarch who reigned from 1105 to 1122. In the fourth year of Emperor Ruizong's reign (1109), the Goryeo Guozijian added the "Seven Fasts". The first to sixth zhai is a Confucian study, that is, Li Ze Zhai who studied "Zhou Yi", a pending Zhai who studied "Shang Shu", a light virtue zhai who studied "Mao's poems", a Qiu Ren Zhai who studied "Zhou Li", a fu Yi Zhai who studied "Dai Li", and a Yang Zheng Zhai who studied "Spring and Autumn". The seventh fast is the Martial Arts Zhai (說艺斋).

After his death, the temple name Ruizong, the name of Ming Lie Qi Shun Wen Xiao Wang, was buried in Yuling.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the fifth year (1079) of the fifth year of Emperor Myeongjong of Goryeo, the eldest son between the Goryeo prince Wang Hee of Jilin and his princess Liu shi was born and named Yu. In the tenth year of Da'an (1094), he was given the title of Inspector Sikong Pillar State, and later promoted to taiwei. In the first year of Shouchang (1095), his father Wang Xi ascended the throne as Emperor Suzong of Goryeo, and on the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the sixth year of Shouchang (1100), Wang Li was made crown prince, and in October of the same year, he was made the Duke of Three Koreas by the suzerainty of the Liao Dynasty, and in April of the fourth year of Qiantong (1104), he was added to the title of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. In October of the fifth year of the Reign of Qian dynasty (1105), Emperor Suzong was on his way back to Kaijing from Saijing (present-day Pyongyang, Korea) outside the Changping Gate of Kaijing, and Wang Jun's will was located in the Chongguang Hall as Emperor Ruizong.

In the summer of the first year of Emperor Ruizong's succession, a great drought occurred in Goryeo, and Emperor Ruizong believed that it was a warning from heaven, and ordered hundreds of officials to be sealed and blunt about the mistakes of the imperial court. Most of these seals were aimed at Suzong's initiatives, and Emperor Ruizong adopted some of the suggestions, but insisted on using coins. In addition, another established policy of Emperor Suzong was also inherited by Emperor Ruizong, that is, the Northern Expedition Jurchen.

During the reign of Emperor Sujong, Goryeo attacked Jurchen twice, but both suffered defeats and were forced to humiliate and seek peace. However, Emperor Suzong was still not satisfied, and he swore to the god Buddha to defeat the Jurchens, and adopted Yin Wan's suggestion to set up a "Beiwu Class" to increase military strength, especially focusing on cavalry construction. However, Before Emperor Suzong could wait for the "Beiwu Ban" to come to fruition, he died suddenly, and the plan to conquer the Jurchens was also shelved. After Emperor Ruizong ascended the throne, he sent emissaries to congratulate Gyamyeon Uyashu (Kim Kangjong) on succeeding to the position of chief of Jurchen (Gyeongjeonbu), and Uyashu also sent people to Goryeo to repair it, and the border was once peaceful. At the turn of the autumn and winter of the seventh year of Qiantong (1107), Goryeo Bian reported that Jurchen had harassed the border castle and discussed things in secret, and after Emperor Ruizong received the report, he took out the Oath of Suzong hidden in the Shrine of Chongguang Temple, showed it to the ministers of the two provinces of Zaishu, and said: "The tribe of Jurchen Bengou Goryeo (Goguryeo) is concentrated in the east of Gaima Mountain, and the world is practicing tribute, and is deeply impressed by my ancestor's grace, and for a day there is no way behind his back, and he is deeply indignant. Taste the ancients called the great filial piety, good to follow their ears. Finally attaining the system, observing state affairs, raising the banner of righteousness, cutting down no way, and sprinkling the shame of the ancestors? After reading the oath, the ministers wept and said, "If the will of the Holy Examination is so deeply so deep, can it be forgotten?" "Then write a letter to please inherit the ancestors and crusade against the Jurchens." However, in the face of such a major event, Ruizong still hesitated, and ordered Cui Hongsi to divinate at the Taimiao Temple, and found that the gua elephant had changed from a kangua to a ji, so he decided to send troops. On October 20, the seventh year of Qiantong (1107), Emperor Ruizong paraded troops at the south gate of Suncheonkan, and on November 24, Emperor Ruizong came to Xijing because the Japanese officials said that Xijing was suitable for dispatching troops. Emperor Ruizong appointed Yin Wan, who presided over the training of the "Beiwu Class", as a marshal, and Wu Yanpet, the privy councillor, as a deputy marshal, and on the first day of December, he awarded Yin Wan in front of the Taizu Zhen Hall in Xijing, waving 170,000 troops (claimed to be 200,000), and attacked the Jurchens in a mighty way.

Before Yin Wan's troops, he first deceived the Jurchens that Goryeo would release the Jurchens who had been detained before, but they had to send Jurchen emissaries to the border to pick up people, and Uya Shu believed that it was true, and sent A-Kun of the YanBu and Shengkun of the Urin Clan to lead hundreds of people to the Goryeo border, and was ambushed and killed by Yin Wan. Subsequently, Yin Wanbing crossed the Great Wall in four ways, and attacked the Jurchen Yue lazy dian area by land and water. The Jurchens were outnumbered and retreated one after another, and the Goryeo army destroyed the Jurchens in Shicheng and Ibidong and other places, captured 135 villages, expanded the land for 300 miles, "took more than half a million prisoners, cut down nearly 5,000 steamed buns, and scattered in Luyan, and ran to the road." Yin Huan first built the four prefectures of Xiongxiong, Ying, Fu, and Ji in the newly opened area of Yulaodian, and in February of the following year increased the governor's mansion of Xian Prefecture and the defense envoy of Gongling Town, and in March added the three cities of Yizhou, Tongtai, and Pingrong, which were for the nine cities in the northeast, and moved to the southern boundary to fill in the households, bounded by the xianchun ridge of Gongling Town, and the name was Ruizong Qinding. Yin Huan also founded the Protector of the Kingdom of Renwang and the Zhendong Puji Second Temple in Yingzhou City, in order to fulfill the wish of Emperor Suzong. After repelling several small counterattacks by jurchens, Yin Wan and Wu Yanpet triumphantly opened Beijing in April of the eighth year of Qiantong (1108).

Uyashu withdrew after learning of goryeo's occupation of Goryeo and his brother Akuta (Kim Tae-tae) tried to retake U-jae-tae, so Uyashu sent his half-brother Gyeongjeon (known as Goryeo as Wushe) to attack Goryeo, defeat the Goryeo army, besiege Xiongju, and Husayoran left the army due to his mother's illness. Emperor Ruizong sent Wu Yanyu and Yin Wan to rescue Xiongzhou and once expelled the Jurchens. The completed Yen Cholu, who had temporarily completed the Yan Dynasty, also built the Nine Castles, opposite the Nine Castles of Goryeo, as a sign of uncompromising intentions. Subsequently, jurchen besieged Jizhou, and Emperor Ruizong sent Wu Yanpet to save Jizhou, at which point Hui Sai returned to command and defeated the Goryeo army led by Wu Yanyu at Gongju Town in May of the ninth year of Qiantong (1109). After Emperor Ruizong heard of the defeat, he sent Yin Wan to lead the army to rescue him, while planning to stop at the right time and abandon the burden of the nine cities in the northeast. At that time, Uyashu sent River and Shi Xian (Shi Xian) to Goryeo to try to take both military and diplomatic measures to reclaim the Yue lazy Dian area, and Yin Wan asked the emissaries to go to Kaijing to meet Ruizong. On June 26, Shi Xian and others arrived in Kaijing, and Emperor Ruizong received Yu at the south gate of the Xuanzheng Hall and listened to their request to return The Lazy Dian. After convening a meeting of hundreds of officials, Emperor Ruizong decided to withdraw his army and return to the city in July, and made an oath with the Jurchen chieftains, agreeing that the Jurchens would not invade Goryeo for generations and pay tribute every year. The reason why Ruizong returned the nine cities to Jurchen on the surface was to accept the jurchens' pleas, but in fact, the goryeo strategic judgment was wrong, thinking that it had held the important place, but in fact it backfired; after opening up the nine cities, it could not withstand the harassment of the Jurchens and could only sit in the isolated city; the famine and drought in Goryeo did not allow the continued use of troops, especially the possibility of the Liao Dynasty's accountability reminded by the minister Jin Yuan (Kim In-cun) could not be ignored, so Ruizong voluntarily gave up less than two years after occupying Yu lazy dian, so that the losses of Goryeo were minimized. Afterwards, the chancellor Cui Hongsi and the advisor Jin Yuan continued to impeach Yin Wan, Wu Yan,and Wu Yan for the crime of misleading the country, and Emperor Ruizong only stripped them of their official titles and meritorious titles, and soon after the officials were reinstated. Ruizong's Jurchen conquest (the Battle of Yu Lazidian) ended with this tiger-headed and tail-tailed ending.
