Lee's Joseon was the last feudal dynasty in Korean history and ruled the entire Korean Peninsula for five hundred years.

In the minds of most Koreans, perhaps because of the proximity of time, the first reaction of many when it comes to the royal family is the Lee clan, not the Goryeo royal clan, which ruled the peninsula earlier.

During World War II, after Gojong Yi Hee was restructured into the "Korean Empire", Yi Joseon entered the final period of rapid decline.

In the field of modern historical research, it is generally accepted that the last king of Joseon was the eldest son of Gojong, the second and last emperor of the Korean Empire, Chunjong Yi Kun, and the third son of Gojong, who later succeeded to the throne after Yi Kun's death, Prince Ying Yi Eun.

This is not only because when Prince Ying Li Yin succeeded to the throne, the title had been downgraded to "King Lee", but also because the last prince of the Li family of Joseon was imprisoned in Japan for almost the rest of his life, and was a veritable puppet emperor.

As for Li Jiu, who was responsible for serving as the patriarch of the Li clan after Li Yin, the so-called "mourning sect" temple name that was crowned by those Li clansmen after his death was not recognized by the public.

According to the official records, the royal lineage of the Yi family was completely severed with the death of Junjong Yi Kun.

The idea that Changshu had something different was also thoroughly implemented in ancient Korea, and if it were not for the Japanese control, in fact, after the death of Yi Kun, there would have been no new king to succeed to the throne in Yi Joseon.

Strange to say, most of the Li royal family in the last period of the bloodline continued to be difficult, in the official history, Chunzong Li Kun had no heirs to survive in his life, and Prince Li Yin of England only had Li Jiu, the son of a mixed Korean and Japanese race, Lord Dehui Weng suffered from mental illness in his later years, and his Japanese husband Zong Wuzhi gave birth to a daughter, but unfortunately this only daughter disappeared after enrolling in Meiji University in Japan, and has not been heard from since.

Nowadays, the Lee family in South Korea is a big joke in the eyes of many people, and the bloodline is not authentic, but there are still some people who always whimsically hold the absurd idea of restoration.

Li Zai never thought about restoration, as long as he was a person with a normal IQ, he would not have this kind of thought.

However, it happens to be his family, an "honest man" who has been doing his duty for decades, but he has always been watched and limited by the eyes of the Korean upper class.

The reason is also very simple -

In the end, Chunzong Li Kun left a child for himself and the entire Li family, and was secretly sent outside the palace.

This child did not exist on the genealogy of the Lee family enshrined in Jongmyo in Joseon, and only a few people, including Li Kun himself, knew about it, and it was not until later that the slightest sign was found when the old accounts were turned over.

In fact, an orthodox Korean descendant of the Lee clan is nothing, the important thing is that this descendant has enough power in his hands.

With enough strength and a full reputation, this is the most feared place.

……

"Samsung Group has something to do with you?"

When Han Yu asked this sentence, the surprise condensed in the words could no longer be expressed in simple words.

"It's related to our family!"

Li Zai glanced at him with a wine glass, corrected him in an old voice, and then continued: "Since the beginning of the last century, our family has been engaged in various investments and operations with the money left by our ancestors. At that time, Li Bingzhe, the founder of Samsung Group, actually had a distant relationship with our Li family, and he wanted to start a grain processing factory at that time, and my grandfather, that is, your maternal great-grandfather, invested some money in it. I didn't have much hope, but I didn't expect that Li Bingzhe, the son of a businessman, really has a good mind that knows how to operate. ”

"In other words, Samsung wasn't a pure family business in the first place?"

"Yes. Li Zai nodded and smiled slightly, "As for the future, the interests have become bigger, and of course the contradictions have arisen, over the years, in addition to engaging in internal strife, the Samsung Li family has also secretly fought with our family very hard, and has always wanted to kick us out of Samsung completely." Behind this is mainly the support of the Blue House, the Samsung Lee family is just a simple merchant family, in the eyes of others, our family is a real time bomb. ”

Speaking of this, Lee Jae drank the wine in his glass, squinted his eyes, and looked at the courtyard floor in front of the hanok intently.

"Counting, I am a generation younger than Lee Kun-hee, so in the past few years, I have not relied on the old to deal with his son Lee Jae-yong. In fact, they all think too much, what our family wants is not Samsung, but the benefits that Samsung can reap. If they weren't always stumbling on our family, I wouldn't have bothered to fight with them, and just sit quietly at home and collect the bonus we deserve. As a result, it is estimated that Lee Kun-hee himself regrets it. A huge Samsung was torn apart. Samsung's Lee's remaining control over the Samsung Group should be at most half. CJ Entertainment, for example, is a big piece of fat that I tore off from them back then. ”

After listening to Li Zai's words, Han Yu fell silent.

He was silently digesting the amazing news he had gotten tonight.

Then he shook his head for no reason and said to Li Zai: "I don't care about this. ”

Li Zai turned his head to look at him again, and then he snorted angrily, and while pouring himself wine, he whispered to himself: "It's just like your mother...... Back then, she didn't want to accept all this at all. ”

Han Yu's brows couldn't help frowning, and he asked, "What do you accept?"

"Accept my position, accept this entire family, and accept the responsibility of my ancestors!"

Li Zai's hand pointed heavily at the boundless darkness outside, and his voice suddenly rose up.

His old eyes, which were still a little drunk, suddenly became clear, as if he had never been drunk at all, and his eyes looked directly into Han Yu's eyes.

"In the current era, even if I don't say it, you should know that our family says that it is a royal family, but in fact, it is a wealthy family that has risen again after being ruined. The word royal family, that is, not to spend on them, those retainers who have always followed our family will also value it. Those old fellows, you have never seen them, their minds are more rigid than mine, and they always stubbornly believe that our family is still the same ruler we once were. When I was young, there was a time when I kept calling me Your Majesty, and after I was taught a lesson several times, I changed my words. ”

"But there is one thing, I told your mother once, and now I tell you again. ”

"Our family has worked hard to continue the bloodline and run the whole family well, which is the responsibility of our children and grandchildren! Our family is not only our grandfather and grandson, it does not cost them, they are attached to our family, and the descendants of their children and grandchildren who are affiliated with our family, there are hundreds of people in the end, and the lives of these hundreds of people are all handed over to me, the head of the family! It's not just enough for us to take care of our own family, we are also responsible for those who are loyal to our family, to the whole family!"

"That's what your mother refused!"

"She's a girl, I know, she yearns for an ordinary and ordinary life, and I know that! But she didn't think about it for our family!"

At this time, Li Zai's emotions were obviously excited.

He took a deep breath, looked at Han Yu with a complete straight face, and said in a deep voice: "When your mother was born, you don't know how happy I was, even because of the red spots on her face, many people advised me to have another child with your grandmother, at least a normal child, but I didn't agree. Because I know that if I do, your mother will have to live her life in a state of discrimination against others. Since this child has been given to me by God, I should protect her wholeheartedly. So, I named her 'Tan'. This is not in line with the rules of our house. But I thought, since I can't give her my last name, at least in the first name, I'm going to make it up to her. In Korea, the symbol of the king was the sun, and the 'moon' was the 'moon'! In my eyes, she was my successor...... But your mother didn't want to, she preferred to cut off relations with me, fled to China, and even hid you in order to prevent you, a man, from being known by my grandfather. ”

"If you are a father who really thinks about her children, she will not impose on her what she is not willing to accept. ”

In the face of Li Zai's imposing words, Han Yu replied without changing his face.

"Escape is not the only solution. Li Zai shook his head, "Even if she doesn't want to, I can choose for her a husband who will definitely cherish her for the rest of her life and has enough ability to take on these things for her." ”

"A man with enough power will spend his life loving a woman with ugly marks on her face, and the reason can only be because of love. But are you sure that the person you chose and my mother are together because of love?"

Han Yu's rhetorical question made Li Zai fall silent.

Looking at the old man bowing his head and saying nothing in the moonlight, Han Yu pursed his lips and stood up, ready to go back to the house to sleep.

"Come back...... Come back to this house. ”

Li Zai looked a little depressed, but firm, and a powerful voice came from behind him.

"Even if you want to continue to be an actor, I'll leave the choice to you. Samsung's CJ Entertainment, I can leave it to you. Or when you regain your heart later, you can come back and take over the family. ”

Han Yu's answer did not sound.

Sitting in place, looking at the tall back that was gradually submerged in darkness, Li Zai sighed deeply.

He subconsciously picked up the wine bottle on the wooden plate, but his thin palm suddenly stopped.

He shook the bottle, and there was not the slightest sound in it, just like the empty silence around him at this moment.

So, unconsciously, the old figure sitting silently under the eaves seemed to become more and more rickety......
