In 1127 AD, the Jin Dynasty army attacked the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo, and more than 300,000 people, including Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, were captured by the Jin Dynasty army and went north, known in history as the "Shame of Jingkang". Later, Song Huizong and others were placed by the Jin Dynasty in the distant Five Kingdoms City, and after Song Huizong arrived, he washed his face with tears all day long and regretted his mistakes. Later, Jin Taizong ordered Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song to kneel in sheepskin before the tomb of the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Yan Akuta, and let them kowtow every step they took, which can be said to have humiliated the two of them.
Nine years later, in 1135, Emperor Huizong of Song, who had been imprisoned for 9 years, died quietly in the City of Five Kingdoms, and according to the funeral customs of the Jin people, the body of Song Huizong was first burned by fire, and then thrown into a puddle by the Jin people to refine oil. So the question is, later the Jin people sent back to the Southern Song Dynasty in the coffin of Song Huizong, it is impossible to contain the bones of Song Huizong, so what exactly is inside?
This has to start from the time when the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty reached a friendly agreement. In 1141 AD, the two countries reached a reconciliation, and the Jin State promised to return all the bones of the Song Dynasty royal family such as Song Huizong, so the question is, at that time, Song Huizong had already been frustrated by the Jin people, how could there be a body in the coffin of Song Huizong? Therefore, when the coffins of these people returned to Lin'an, some ministers wanted to check the authenticity of these coffins, but they were rejected by Emperor Gaozong of Song at that time.
In fact, it is very normal for Zhao Zhuo not to look at it, because many people know that the so-called "coffin" is just a name, if the coffin is really opened for inspection, if it is found that the Jinguo has counterfeiting, then a large-scale war will break out between the two countries. And Zhao Zhao silently buried these coffins in the Yongyou Mausoleum, which made the Southern Song Dynasty subjects at that time praise.
In 1279, the Mongols completely destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and 6 years later, a Yuan Dynasty monk named Yang Zhenjia secretly stole the southern Song Emperor's tomb for money, so he chiseled open the coffin of Emperor Huizong of Song. According to the "Nancun Cultivation Record", it is placed in a piece of decaying wood, there is no bone of Song Huizong, and there is only a wooden lamp in song Qinzong's coffin.
