Chapter 307: Song Liuling

According to Zhao Tianming's knowledge, there can be such a peak of craftsmanship, only appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, with the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty raged, has long been lost.

The reason why people today can know that such a craft once existed is because it was researched from the cultural relics unearthed from the remaining royal tombs in the early years.

As for how the ancients did it, it is unknown, even if they wanted to find some contemporaneous court objects to study, they couldn't do it.

This is because the mausoleum of the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty had been turned upside down as early as the Yuan Dynasty, and all the property was plundered!

The Imperial Mausoleum of the Southern Song Dynasty, located in today's Shao, Xingshi Town, Zhejiang Province, Baoshan, the Southern Song Dynasty had a total of nine emperors, among them, the little emperor Song Gongdi, who was only five years old, was plundered by the Mongol army when he broke through Lin'an, Song Ruizong died of illness at the age of less than ten, and the last emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Yu, the king of Song Wei, was carried by Lu Xiufu and jumped into the vast sea in Yashan.

In addition to these three, the other six emperors are buried here, in addition, there are nearly 100 tombs of concubines and royal nobles in Zhenbaoshan, which is the largest imperial tomb in the Jiangnan region, collectively known as the Song Six Tombs.

In everyone's impression, the ancient imperial tombs are often large-scale, although the Southern Song Dynasty is in a corner, but the development of commodity economy, the maritime Silk Road is prosperous, and there is no shortage of money.

However, all the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty, there are many gold and silver treasures buried, but all of them have no underground palaces, and they are only buried two meters underground.

This is because, after the death of the Northern Song Dynasty, Empress Song Zhezong followed Song Gaozong Zhao Gou to Jiangnan, however, she missed her homeland and was unwilling to be buried here, so she left an edict before her death, asking for a burial after death.

Saving for burial is to temporarily concentrate the coffin, not digging deep into the soil, waiting for the time to recover the old rivers and mountains and return to the Central Plains, so as to re-bury them in the ancestral tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty in He, Nangong and Yi, so that they can be regarded as returning to their hometowns and returning to their roots.

After that, such a tradition has been preserved, all the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty are just burying, waiting to return to the ancestral tomb, and even Zhao Gou's own tomb, which is called Yongsi Mausoleum.

At that time, many royal nobles were also very much in favor of the idea of saving for burial, because in their opinion, the Yue family army led by Yue Fei at that time became more and more courageous and overwhelming, and had a great tendency to welcome back the Second Emperor Huizong, recover the old rivers and mountains, and restore the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, under the confidence given by the powerful Yue Fei, the royal nobles and ministers were also looking forward to it, and did not want to be buried here forever, because for them, this was no different from dying in a foreign land.

However, what awaits them is a miserable end in the wilderness of corpses and mountains full of corpses.

The Southern Song Dynasty survived the Jin Dynasty, but ushered in an even more ferocious Meng Yuan.

After Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Lian Zhenjia, the then head of Jiangnan Buddhism, a monk in the Western Regions, and a disciple of the Tibetan monk Ba Si Pa Emperor, and Yun Ze, a monk of Yanfu Temple, with the support of Prime Minister Sange, began to dig up the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The first to be dug up was the Yongmu Mausoleum of Zhao Yun of Song Lizong, when Zhao Yun had only been dead for four years, and his body was still vivid. I saw that his head rested on the Qibao Fuhu pillow, his feet against a Yunqin used by Yang Guifei, and the bottom of his body was a brocade soft satin woven with pure gold wire, and there were countless gold and silver treasures, which could be described as a glorious package.

According to historical records, they obtained many treasures such as "Ma Wuyu Pen Box", "Copper Liang Rust Pipe", "Jiaojia White Tooth Comb", "Fragrant Bone Case", "Fuhu Pillow", "Piercing Cloud Qin", "Golden Cat's Eye", "Fish Shadow Qiong Fan Handle" and so on.

Yang Lian Zhenjia not only stole a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but also dragged Song Lizong's body out, hung it upside down on a tree for a few days, pried away the night pearl contained in his mouth, and leaked all the mercury used to prevent embalming in his stomach.

When he saw that Zhao Yun's head was huge, he was even more frenzied to wring off his head and take it back to the north to make exquisite wine containers! Because the monks in the Western Regions have a custom of using human skulls as utensils, which can bring blessings and disasters, let alone the emperor's skull?

Yang Lian Zhenjia's evil deeds are far more than that, he also dug up more than 100 ancient tombs before and after, and almost all the tombs of most of the imperial tombs and the concubines, princes, princesses and meritorious ministers buried in the imperial tombs, and the bones were scattered all over the ravine, a mess, miserable!

In the end, the bones of the emperors were mixed with the dry bones of cattle and horses, and a tower of thirteen zhang was built in the Lin'an Forbidden City, which was called "Zhenben"!

Later, with the connivance of Meng Yuan, tomb robbery became a common practice in the world, and the Song Liuling Tombs were looted several times and almost ceased to exist.

It was not until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed Meng Yuan, and then issued an edict to rebuild the Song Liuling, and ordered someone to redeem the head of Zhao Yun who was exiled in the Western Regions, and rebuild it and bury it in the Yongmu Mausoleum with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven. In addition, each mausoleum was rebuilt and erected, and many pine trees were planted, and special mausoleum guards were sent to demarcate the area of the Song Liuling Tombs, and it was forbidden to cut down.

However, this did not stop the enthusiasm of the tomb robbers, and it was later destroyed, so that no one knew where Song Liuling was.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Song Liuling was pushed to build a tea field, and many traces of cultural relics were found. However, during the Cultural Revolution, the only existing palace of Emperor Xiaozong in the Song Liuling Tombs was also razed to the ground.

Nowadays, after the vicissitudes of life, the six tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty, which have been repeatedly fired, due to the age, the ground buildings have disappeared, only more than 100 ancient pines on the ground remain, the environment is quiet, the weather is forested, telling the tragic fate of the six emperors of one dynasty, and the sorrow of the Southern Song Dynasty!

The golden step in front of him, Zhao Tianming guessed, it was likely that it was also from Song Liuling, exiled from the world, and preserved.

"Boss, can it be cheaper? If it's 150,000 yuan, I'll buy it." ”

For the price of 200,000 yuan, Zhao Tianming is naturally willing, but he is on guard, in case he agrees too happily, it is difficult to guarantee that the stall owner will not see anything and go back on his word.

"No, it's 200,000, and I'm the real price. But the stall owner didn't give an inch.

"I'm sorry, it's our first time here, are we all quoted here?"

Hearing him say this, Zhao Tianming almost thought that bargaining was not allowed here, and he didn't mind asking to show his white nature.

"No, however, my price is real, and 200,000 is the lowest. ”

The stall owner seems to be an honest man, to tell the truth, he looks stubborn, and he has the attitude of whether you like to buy or not at this price.

"Okay, then I'll pick up a few small things at your stall to make up the numbers, okay?" Zhao Tianming looked compromised.

"No, everything is only sold, not delivered!"

Hearing Zhao Tianming say this, the stall owner suddenly became alert, could it be that my stall still has treasures that I didn't find? So, he waved his hand and said, with a tough attitude.
