After the demise of the Jin Dynasty, the situation of the Southern Song regime was even more dangerous. At this time, Song Lizong wanted to go north to recover the lost territory, but he did not make up his mind. The army commanded the chaos and food was not enough to recover the lost territory, but instead gave Mongolia an excuse to go south. The Southern Song Dynasty suffered heavy losses due to heavy losses. Song Lizong was also forced to issue a self-crime edict . This battle completely defeated Song Lizong's will. He began to indulge in alcohol and sex and ignore the government affairs, allowing the concubines and ministers to interfere in politics, causing chaos in the Southern Song Dynasty.

After Song Lizong passed away, he was buried in Yongmuling . In order to keep the body from rotting, he was soaked in mercury. As the emperor Song Lizong, there were quite a lot of burial objects, even after his death, he was buried with Ronghua and wealth. After the demise of the Song Dynasty, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty had no fear of the Song Dynasty emperors. Not only did they not protect the tombs of the Song Dynasty emperors, but they also robbed them. At this time, the Western Xia people Yang Lianzhenjia stared at the imperial tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty. This Yang Lianzhenjia was originally a demon monk. After coming to the Yuan Dynasty, he was appreciated by Kublai Khan, and he became the president of the Jiangnan Buddhism not long after.

Kublai

0The President of the Jiangnan Buddhist Temple in the Yuan Dynasty was an official position in charge of all the Jiangnan Buddhist temples. After Yang Lianzhenjia became the President of the Jiangnan Buddhist Temple, he began to focus on the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty. Under the guise of destroying the "roots of the Southern Song Dynasty", he reported to Kublai Khan that as long as the bodies of the six emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were dug out and suppressed under the pagoda, he could suppress the imperial spirit of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty would never be able to turn over. Kublai Khan believed it and agreed to him. Yang Lianzhenjia dug the Southern Song Dynasty imperial tomb into the sky, and the first to be excavated was the tomb of Ningzong of Song Dynasty 2; Lizong of Song Dynasty; Duzong of Song Dynasty. He took many of the treasures for himself, and then he built a corpse of a Buddha who suppressed the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty on the site. When Yang Lianzhenjia opened the coffin of Song Lizong, he saw Song Lizong lying in the coffin, all over his body was plucked upside down after plundering the treasure. The skull was taken off and hung on the head of the city gate to expose it to the sun for three days. Then the head was divided into two and made into a wine glass. It would be taken out and used whenever the guests were invited.

Good and evil will be rewarded. Yang Lianzhenjia, who has committed many evil deeds, was eventually implicated because of the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and was eventually confiscated. The wine glass made of Song Lizong's head flowed into the Yuan Dynasty imperial palace , and it has been used in the Yuan Dynasty imperial palace. All the Han people who heard about this were sad. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang heard about this from the great scholar of the Yuan Dynasty who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed for a long time and said something, "The emperors of the Song Dynasty have not lost their virtues in the south, and they are not a feud with Yuan. Since Yuan took advantage of their weakness, why should he be so cool again!" In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to retrieve Song Lizong's head from the foreign monk Wuna and Guanzanghui, and then ordered people to repair the Southern Song Dynasty imperial tomb and reinstall Song Lizong's head in the imperial tomb.

Yuan Dynasty ruled in the Central Plains for only a hundred years, perhaps because of this cruelty and incorruptible. Zhu Yuanzhang's re-burial of the remains of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was also considered as a way for the deceased to rest in peace.
