First of all, Song Huizong Zhao Ji was insulted and tortured by Jin people, but he was never turned into lamp oil. Because there is no need, Jin people should pay attention to their faces. In fact, there is only a rotten piece of wood in the coffin. Why on earth? For details, let me start from the beginning. Zhao Ji (182-1135), the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty, succeeded to the throne at the age of 19 (AD 111), reigned for 25 years, and abdicated at the age of 44 in 1126 (the first year of Jingkang).
In ancient China, in 1135, Zhao Ji, the emperor of Song Huizong who was taken hostage in the State of Jin, died at the age of 54.
In fact, with the signing of Shaoxing peace talks, the Southern Song Dynasty demanded the return of Song Huizong's body, and the Jin people did encounter difficulties, but the reason was not that Song Huizong's body was burned into an oil lamp, but that the Jin people were cremated and buried according to their own funeral customs. After Song Huizong died. There is such a record in the history of gold: a real woman is cremated and her ashes are put into water, which is called "cooking". Because people in the State of Jin practiced the method of "cooking rice" on Song Huizong's body, they could no longer hand over his body. Another way of saying this is that the body should be buried after cremation, but there are no seals or trees (there are no seals or trees on the ground as signs). There is no sign, so we can't find it anymore.
So the Jin people found a piece of wood and put it in the coffin, and sent it back to the Southern Song Dynasty. The coffin is not directly opened, but directly buried in Yongyou Mausoleum in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Yang Lianzhen, the leader of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, led a group of people to excavate the mausoleum of the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Yongyou Mausoleum was not spared. At this time, people found that there was no body in Huizong's coffin, only a piece of rotten wood on his body.
Therefore, Song Huizong was boiled into lamp oil by the Jin people. There are reasons why the coffin returned by the Jin people is complete.
