High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Emperor Hailingwang of Jin (1122 - 1161) was from 1149 to 1161 emperor of the Jin Dynasty which controlled northern China. His birth name was Wnyn Ling, or in Jurchen, Digunai. He promoted the policy of sinicization of Jurchens, which was partially reversed by his successor, emperor Shizong of Jin. Wanyan Liang was a son of Wanyan Woben, who in his turn was a son of the dynasty's founder Wanyan Aguda. Liang's father, Woben, was described as the most influential man during the reign of Liang's predecessor, Wanyan Dan. Wanyan Liang, himself a marshal under Wanyan Dan, killed the emperor and usurped the throne in 1149. As a usurper of the Jin throne, Hailing was suspicious of other members of the Jurchen aristocracy, and, immediately upon seizing the power, started assassinating or executing potential rivals. In a mass execution of several aristocratic families, the lineage of Wanyan Wuqimai was exterminated, to secure the position of the lineage of Wuqimai's brother Aguda, to which Hailing himself belonged.
