Why is Song Lizong's head made into a wine glass?

He was the luckiest emperor in the Song Dynasty. He changed from a village boy to a son of heaven, which is really a feat. He ruled for 40 years and enjoyed all the splendor. However, he was also the most miserable emperor in the Song Dynasty. Because of his own death, he brought down the Song Dynasty. After he died, he was on pins and needles. Not only was his grave dug, but his head was also made into a wine glass. So, who is he and why did he make his head into a wine glass? Today, let's explore together.

He is Song Lizong Zhao Yun, the sixth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhaoyun, formerly known as Zhao, lives in the word house. Although he was also the tenth grandson of Zhao Dezhao, the son of Zhao Kuangyin, the throne of Song Dynasty was never inherited by Zhao Dezhao's descendants. In his father's generation, he was very alienated from the royal family. His father didn't have a mixed title, but he just became a local official and lived an ordinary life. To make matters worse, his father died when he was seven years old. Zhaoyun had to go back to her mother's house with her mother and live in a brother's house in Shaoxing. My brother's mother is Chang Bao (the head of Quanbao). In this way, he became a village girl through and through.

It is said that this Zhao Yun is the luckiest emperor, and he never thought that a village child could become the son of heaven. The thing is this: At that time, the son of Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo died young, and the succession to the throne became a problem. He ordered the prime minister Shi to find a well-behaved imperial clan to inherit the throne, and Shi gave this task to his staff Yu Tianxi. One day, Yu Tianxi was caught in a heavy rain in Shaoxing and took shelter in Changbao's home. He met Zhao Heju and knew that he was a member of Zhao. He felt that Zhao and Ju were virtuous and could be heirs to the throne, so he recommended them to Shi. Later, Shi personally considered Zhao Heju and thought that Zhao Heju were suitable candidates, so he chose to enter the palace. Soon after, he died, and together with Empress Yang, Shi passed on the posthumous edict of Ningzong, deposed the Prince as King Ji, made Zhao Guicheng the new emperor, and renamed Zhao Yunwei. In this way, a village boy was lucky to become the son of heaven in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the first ten years of Zhao Yun's succession, the prime minister's history dominated the state affairs and indulged in debauchery. Later, after his death, Zhao Yun began to lead the country. At the beginning of leading the country, he was determined to develop ZTE. He is still an emperor who made great efforts and made some achievements. He sent troops to join forces with Mongolia to destroy gold. Although he avenged Jingkang's shame, his lips were dead and his teeth were cold. Because it failed to send troops to recover Sanjing, Mongolia invaded the Song Dynasty in an all-round way under the pretext of breaking the contract, and the Song-Mongolian War broke out for more than 40 years.

Song Lizong Zhao Yun lived a dissolute life in his later years, and national affairs fell into the hands of traitors such as Daquan Ding and Jia Sidao, and the national situation declined rapidly. 1264 165438+1October16. Zhao Yun died of illness and reigned for 40 years at the age of 60. After 40 years in office, Zhao Yun enjoyed all the splendor and completely ruined the Southern Song Dynasty. Soon after, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty. Although Song Lizong Zhao Yun is dead, he is also a bird.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Yang Lian Jia Zhen, a Tibetan Buddhist monk in Tibet, with the support of Prime Minister Sanger, robbed the imperial tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhaoyun Mausoleum in Song Lizong was not spared. Because at that time, Zhao Yun's body was soaked in mercury and had not rotted. Yang Lian Jia Zhen ordered his body to be dragged out of the mausoleum and hung upside down in the forest in front of Yuling to leach mercury. Subsequently, Zhao Yun's head was cut off, made into wine glasses, and sent to the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, while his trunk was burned. In addition, Yang Lian Jia Zhen also built a white tower called? Zhennan Tower? He buried all the remains of the six emperors in the Southern Song Dynasty under the tower, in order to suppress the southern kings and make the Song Dynasty never turn over. Of course, he made Zhao Yun's head into a wine glass and built the Zhennan Tower, also to bully and insult the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Zhaoyun's head was not found until Zhu Yuanzhang occupied the Yuan Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this incident, he sighed and ordered the restoration of the Six Mausoleums in the Southern Song Dynasty, and buried Zhao Yun's skull in the former site of Yong Mu Mausoleum in Shaoxing. Zhu Yuanzhang's welcome back to Song Lizong's skull is to announce to the Chinese people that it is of great significance for the Han people to regain control of the world and further strengthen the legitimacy of Ming Dynasty rule. I have to admire Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy.
