Question: What position was held by the defeater of the last Song emperor of the country Liang Ji was in?

His younger brother Kublai Khan was proclaimed the new Great Khan, though his claim was only partially recognized by the Mongols in the west. The Song dynasty is divided into two distinct periods, Northern and Southern. During the Northern Song (Chinese: 北宋; 960 -- 1127), the Song capital was in the northern city of Bianjing (now Kaifeng) and the dynasty controlled most of what is now Eastern China. The Southern Song (Chinese: 南宋; 1127 -- 1279) refers to the period after the Song lost control of its northern half to the Jurchen Jin dynasty in the Jin -- Song Wars. During this time, the Song court retreated south of the Yangtze and established its capital at Lin'an (now Hangzhou). Although the Song dynasty had lost control of the traditional ``birthplace of Chinese civilization ''along the Yellow River, the Song economy was still strong, as the Southern Song Empire contained a large population and productive agricultural land. The Southern Song dynasty considerably bolstered its naval strength to defend its waters and land borders and to conduct maritime missions abroad. To repel the Jin, and later the Mongols, the Song developed revolutionary new military technology augmented by the use of gunpowder. In 1234, the Jin dynasty was conquered by the Mongols, who took control of northern China, maintaining uneasy relations with the Southern Song. Möngke Khan, the fourth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, died in 1259 while besieging the city of Chongqing. In 1271, Kublai Khan was proclaimed the Emperor of China. After two decades of sporadic warfare, Kublai Khan's armies conquered the Song dynasty in 1279. The Mongol invasion led to a reunification under the Yuan dynasty (1271 -- 1368). <SEP> ``come a little closer ''is a song co-written and recorded by american country music artist dierks bentley. it was released in july 2005 as the second single from his second studio album modern day drifter. it went to number one on the u.s. country chart in 2005. the song held that position for the chart weeks of december 3 and december 10, 2005. on the chart for december 17, the song fell to number two when joe nichols'`` tequila makes her clothes fall off'' replaced it at the top spot. the song then returned to number 1 for a third and final week on the chart dated december 24. the song was written by bentley and brett beavers. <SEP> Liang Ji (梁冀) (died 159), courtesy name Bozhuo (伯卓), was a politician and military commander of Han Dynasty China. As a powerful consort kin, he dominated government in the 150s together with his sister, Empress Liang Na. After his sister's death, Liang Ji was overthrown in a coup d'etat by Emperor Huan, with the support of the eunuch faction, in 159. The Liang clan and the clan of his wife, Sun Shou (孫壽), were slaughtered. <SEP> in confucius's time, the state of lu was headed by a ruling ducal house. under the duke were three aristocratic families, whose heads bore the title of viscount and held hereditary positions in the lu bureaucracy. the ji family held the position ``minister over the masses '', who was also the`` prime minister''; the meng family held the position ``minister of works ''; and the shu family held the position`` minister of war''. in the winter of 505 bc, yang hu -- a retainer of the ji family -- rose up in rebellion and seized power from the ji family. however, by the summer of 501 bc, the three hereditary families had succeeded in expelling yang hu from lu. by then, confucius had built up a considerable reputation through his teachings, while the families came to see the value of proper conduct and righteousness, so they could achieve loyalty to a legitimate government. thus, that year (501 bc), confucius came to be appointed to the minor position of governor of a town. eventually, he rose to the position of minister of crime. <SEP> He also founded the Yuan dynasty in China as a conquest dynasty in 1271, and ruled as the first Yuan emperor until his death in 1294.
