Song Huizong was boiled into lamp oil by Jin people, and later he returned a piece of wood. Is it true?/You don't say.
1 127, Jurchen, who rose in the northeast, breached the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor Qin Hui was captured, and the once prosperous Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. The shame of Jingkang, which led to the national subjugation in the Northern Song Dynasty, is still a dull pain and an indelible scar. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the dynasty was extremely corrupt, and the Jin people captured the city, plundered gold, silver, jewels, books and entertainment, and even plundered the emperor and the emperor, as well as the royal family, concubines and maids to the Great Wall.

Finally, Emperor Qin Hui and members of the royal family were imprisoned in cities of five kingdoms, ending the state of national subjugation and imprisonment. The Northern Song Dynasty, which was once prosperous in economy, material and culture, was vulnerable under the iron hoof of foreigners, and the prosperous times were in ruins. The royal family in the Song Dynasty suffered great humiliation and brought troubles to countless innocent people in the north, which was heartbreaking.

Song Huizong

After Qin Hui was captured, they were shackled and taken all the way to Jin's lair. Along the way, many princes and ministers were tortured to death, and Jin people even abused and tortured the princess. According to historical records, the concubines and princesses of the two emperors became the concubines of the rulers' generals, and even Queen Song Huizong did not avoid such a fate.

Those courtiers and ladies-in-waiting ended up worse. They could only be slaves, prostitutes and humiliated by Jin people. In order to step on the two once-lofty DaSong emperors, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, the Jin people asked the second emperor to take off his clothes and put on sheepskin? A shepherd ceremony? This shameful scene, as well as the generals of the Jin Dynasty and the captured officials of the Song Dynasty, were present to watch.

Song Qinzong

However, after being humiliated in this way, Qin Hui was imprisoned in the five cities and eventually died in a foreign land. It was not until A.D. 1 14 1 year that Jin people signed a collegiate bench in Shaoxing that the emperor's remains were brought back to their homeland.

After the second emperor's coffin arrived in Lin 'an City, a minister offered to open the coffin for verification, but Song Gaozong refused. He buried them with the emperor's gift on the grounds of not disturbing the dead of the first emperor. According to official records, Song Huizong died of mental torture. However, because there is no open coffin verification, there are more speculations about the cause of Song Huizong's death.

The shame of Jingkang

According to the book The Legacy of Xuanhe, Song Huizong was detained in the Five Kingdoms City. Unable to stand the torture of the Jin people, he cut his clothes into thin strips and prepared to hang himself. As a result, he was saved by Song Qinzong. At this time, Song Huizong was very ill and soon died on the heatable adobe sleeping platform on a cold winter night. When Song Qinzong found Hui Zong's body, his whole body was stiff and cold.

Later, Jin people put Hui Zong's body on a stone kang and burned it. In the fire, Jin people doused the fire with water, and then threw Hui Zong's body into a stone pit to continue burning. It is said that these substances left in the stone pit can be used to make lamp oil, so there is a saying that Song Huizong was surprisingly made into lamp oil.

The shame of Jingkang

This historical mystery was revealed in the annals of farming in Nancun. After the demise of the Song Dynasty, people began to rob tombs in the Yuan Dynasty, and the imperial tombs in the Song Dynasty were no exception. When the grave robbers opened the graves of Huizong and Qinzong, they found? The second mausoleum is empty, and there is a piece of rotten wood in Hui Ling? .

Therefore, the bones of the second emperor did not return to their homeland, so it is likely that the Jin people burned Hui Zong's body and boiled it into lamp oil. As for why the Jin people put a piece of dead wood in the coffin, it may just be an explanation of the Song State. They guessed that when they arrived in Song Gaozong, they would not open the coffin for autopsy, nor would they expose the humiliating history of Emperor Qin Hui's abuse. In the end, the two sides tacitly covered up this time. The difference is that the Southern Song Dynasty has always been the wronged party.
