The Jin Dynasty's destruction of tombs in the Northern Song Dynasty has reached an appalling level.
One of the killers must be the ruler. Why? This is not to give them a false name. The reputation of the Great Song Dynasty is true. It is not built to enrich the country and strengthen the people, and Jin Jun's covet for the Song Dynasty is also obvious. It is precisely because of this that they kept invading and devouring the mountains and rivers of Dasong.
It was not until A.D. 1 127 that the worst humiliation of Jingkang was staged, and the Jin Dynasty finally ushered in a day of "swallowing gold". In fact, just before the capture of the capital of song dynasty, these barbarians had already committed a crime of contempt for the world: digging graves.
Open the Chronology of Inflammation since its Establishment, which contains such a record. At that time, the Jin army surrounded the capital of song dynasty, and many people directly said, "The enemy besieged the city, and the graves outside the city were dug a little, and the bodies were everywhere, and several people died in the city." You see, as soon as this place is surrounded, there will be action. People who died in the Song Dynasty don't want peace. All the graves were dug up, and the contents were taken away directly, even the coffin became a manger.
Coincidentally, "Three Dynasties North Alliance Compilation" also recorded the horror of the besieged city in the Song Dynasty: "It is known that the grave outside the capital city was dug, and its coffin was used as a coffin, killing people like hemp and stinking for hundreds of miles. As a result, more than half of the people died of major epidemics. " As you can imagine, the nomads from the golden army will never just give the horse a manger when digging a grave, right? Where did the contents go? Will they turn a blind eye and rise in the dust?
Of course, Liu Yu was not idle when 8 jin j dug the grave. When he was promoted to the King of Qi by the Jin people, he also put the method of "making a fortune" on grave robbery. To this end, he also set up a special "Tao Sha officers" organization. What do they do? "Tao Sha officials in Henan and Bianjing were separated, and these two tombs were completely excavated." Understand? Is to go to other people's graves for gold.
Under such a vigorous excavation, there are very few surviving Song tombs. Even Song Zhezong's grave was stolen, and even the body was thrown out. When Zhao Gou learned that the tomb had been stolen, he was very angry, so he drew his sword and killed himself. So, how many complete tombs do you think were preserved in the Song Dynasty?
In addition, it must be said that apart from the Jin people and the large-scale excavation of tombs in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty was still a repairman. Facing the messy imperial tombs in the Northern Song Dynasty, they "plowed them into the city" and used them to expand the national territory. In this way, the emperor of the northern song dynasty also escaped the bad luck of hitting people when they are down.
As for the tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty, we should thank Yang Tiao Jia Zhen.
If the culprit of tomb raiding in the Northern Song Dynasty is Jin people, I'm afraid Yang Che will be thanked for tomb raiding in the Southern Song Dynasty. Who is Yang Tiao Jia Zhen? Others called him Yang Lian Jia Zhen, a Xixia monk in the Yuan Dynasty. Although this man is a monk, his evil is worse than the evildoer. Because he is good at robbing tombs and destroying things.
At that time, the imperial tomb in the Southern Song Dynasty was called Zanji Zigong, which was a temporary burial place. Because of the special reasons of the Song Dynasty, the imperial tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to recover the mountains and rivers before moving back to its ancestors. Because of this, it was buried shallowly, which facilitated the later grave robbers.
As a monk in the western regions, Yang Tizhen Jia is certainly not as merciful as a Han monk. He is more concerned about how to get Kublai Khan's attention. So, he thought of the imperial tomb in the Southern Song Dynasty and got Sanger's consent. With his help, he began to excavate the imperial tomb in Nanning.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty was a humiliating era, it lasted for more than 100 years, and nine emperors ascended the throne successively. Therefore, the imperial tombs in the Southern Song Dynasty are still spectacular. Yang Tizhen-jia gave full play to her expertise in grave robbery and spared the tombs of all members of the Southern Song Dynasty. All the imperial tombs he could find, including those of concubines, ministers and even civilians, were excavated.
Open the Biography of the History of the Yuan Dynasty, which records: "At the beginning, Lian Jia (Yang Zhizhen Jia) bribed Sanger heavily, made good use of the tomb of the Song Dynasty, took its treasure jade, built a hundred tombs and killed four people. All the stolen goods he robbed and robbed were ingots 1 16200 ingots, 23000 mu of land and gold and silver.
According to records, there are countless treasures that Yang Tiao really stole, such as Ma Wu Yu's pencil case, copper cooling derusting tube, pearl saddle, white tooth comb, Qin Yun, Xianggu case, Golden Hunting Linger and so on. This is not the most important thing. Mainly, while he was taking other people's good things, he actually said, "Cut off the residual branches, seize pearls and jade, burn them, and abandon bones and grass."
What's more, it is recorded in the Ming History: "In the Yuan Dynasty, western monks inherited the ancient and wonderful heights to destroy the tombs of the Song Dynasty. A Xia Man, Yang Qizhen, was photographed by the general manager of Jiangnan. He learned to dig a grave under Hui Zong, grab the treasure, and bury the emperor's bones. In the Forbidden City in Hangzhou, he built a pagoda on it, named Zhennan, to show his disgust at victory, and cut off Zong's skull as a drinking vessel. True yoga, its capital comes from the official, and its skull has become XuanXuanYuan, giving it to the so-called imperial teacher ... "
A monk digs people's graves, steals people's jewels and humiliating bones, and finally uses people's skulls to make drink bottles, and bones are also used to build white pagodas, thus suppressing vengeful people. Is Yang Tiaojin's family also afraid that the royal family in the Southern Song Dynasty will take revenge on him? But how can you not let people get angry at your outrageous behavior?
Through the above two aspects, we can understand the nightmare of tombs in Song Dynasty. A prosperous dynasty, because it didn't manage with care, finally paid the price of being dug up and dying peacefully. If I had known this would happen after my death, I think the Zhao family would have taken good care of their country.
