In April of the second year of Jing Kang, the Jin army attacked Tokyo (present-day Kaifeng), captured Song Huizong, Song Qinzong's father and son, and a large number of Zhao royalty, harem concubines and guiqing, courtiers, and more than 3,000 people, escorted them north, and the public and private savings in the city of Tokyo were empty.
Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song had long been imprisoned by the Jin State in the Five Kingdoms City, and the living conditions given to them by the Jin people were so bad that they had to rack their brains for the daily problem of food and clothing. Because he could not stand the torture of the Jin people, Song Huizong one day cut his clothes into strips and tied them into ropes to prepare to hang himself, but was found by Song Qinzong and hugged down, and the father and son could not help but cry with a headache.
The long and arduous life and the psychological gap after being captured made the fifty-four-year-old Song Huizong very ill, and he died soon after on the earth kang.
By the time Song Qinzong found out, the bodies were already stiff. Even so, the Jin people did not let him go, and his body was erected on a stone pit and burned, and when it was half burned, the Jin people used water to extinguish the fire and threw the body into the pit. It is said that doing so can turn the water in the pit into lamp oil. Seeing this tragic scene, Song Qinzong was extremely sad and wanted to jump into the pit, but he was pulled by someone, saying that after the living person jumped into the pit, the water in the pit could not be used as lamp oil, so Song Qinzong was not allowed to jump into the pit.
From the day of his capture until the death of the Five Kingdoms City, Emperor Huizong of Song never gave up the illusion of returning to his homeland one day. In the end, he could only say goodbye with great regret. On his deathbed, Emperor Huizong of Song hoped that he could be buried in Song Tu, but it was such a small request that the Jin people refused to agree.
After Jin signed the Shaoxing Peace Agreement with the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin people returned the Zi Palace of Emperor Huizong of Song, which was his coffin, and Emperor Gaozong of Song immediately arranged for a burial. But many years later, the tomb was stolen, and it was found that there was only a body of decaying wood inside, and there was no such thing as ashes at all, and it seems that the Jin people still have a hand on this issue, and it is estimated that his ashes have become a historical mystery like the skull of the Beijingers.
After the death of Emperor Huizong of Song, Emperor Qinzong of Song continued to suffer and eventually died tragically in the north. After the fourth emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Hailing Wang, moved the capital to Yanjing, Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong also arrived in Yanjing and was imprisoned in a temple by the Jin Lord. There was no one around, only one squirrel took care of his diet, and two people ate, only five buckets of rice and a bundle of firewood were distributed every month. Such torture was not enough, and in his sixty-three-year-old age, the Jin lord Yan Liang also asked him to race horses with another Liao emperor, Tianzuo Emperor, who was also a prisoner of the Jin.
Just as they were racing their horses, the Lord of Jin ordered the cavalry to shoot arrows through their rear hearts, and the front hearts shot out, and Song Qinzong fell off his horse and died. The gold lord was not allowed to collect the body, and trampled the body into the mud with the horse's hoof, and there was no place to bury him.
