Chapter 243 [Hongwu Shengshi]

In April 1392, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo Gongrang the king of the county: Wang Yao, who felt that Goryeo was the founder of the country and was loyal to the righteous uncle: Li Chenggui, the strength is strong! In order to protect himself, he and Goryeo guarded the door: Zheng Mengzhou, and conspiracy to deal with the founding of Goryeo.

However, because Goryeo Chungyibo was in the barracks, the assassination failed! On the contrary, he was assassinated by the founder of Goryeo, Chung Yi Bo, on the Seonju Bridge in Kaesong Province, beheaded in the city, and confiscated his home.

On July 12th, Bae Kelian, and other ministers coerced the Goryeo princess Ahn to depose by force, and then in the Goryeo right attendant: Bae Kelian, Goryeo sentenced the three ministers: Cho Jun, Goryeo Bonghwa-gun: Chung Do-chuan, Goryeo Tongzhi Secret: Nam Ji, and other cronies, so that the Goryeo founding loyalty: Lee Sung-gye, was enthroned in the Shouchang Palace of Kaesong, Kaesong, and thus created the foundation of the Lee Joseon Dynasty for 500 years.

The new king of Goryeo: Li Chenggui, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, established the basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately sent Goryeo Zhimi Zhizhi: Zhao Fat, to the Ming Emperor should be the emperor of the heavenly palace to the Ministry of Rites, saying "Goryeo Dingchang Mansion Monarch: Wang Yao, the right to act on state affairs for four years, but coma lawlessly reprimanded Zhongzheng, nickname than slander, chaos in right and wrong, indulge in wine, gather small groups to murder Zhongzhi, and make Goryeo guard the door of the servant: Zheng Mengzhou, and so on into a treacherous plot to cause chaos, but the ministers: Li Chenggui, Zhao Jun, Zheng Daochuan, Nan Zhi, etc. The people of the country were impeached and murdered, and the people were resentful and punished, and the state affairs of the power agency were not changed and murdered again, and the subjects of the whole country were really worried that the society and the living beings were all frightened and helpless! Xian thought that if he did something, it would be difficult for the people to serve the community. Therefore, on the 12th day of July in the 25th year of Hongwu, he retired to private affairs with the order of Princess Ahn of Goryeo, and the affairs of the military state could not be chosen by the clan relatives for a day, and there was no one to be the public opinion! However, in the middle of the door: Li Chenggui, Ze was born in the community, and the hearts of China and foreign countries were attached, and they were willing to be recommended by the ministers of a country, Xianliang, the elderly, and the military and civilian ministers, so that Goryeo knew the secret and was directly in charge: Zhao Fat, went to the imperial court to play the Fu Qi test, and was annoyed to listen to the public opinion to calm the people of a country. ”

After the Ministry of Rites handed over the holy decree, Ming Taizu replied to the holy decree and replied: "The subjects of the three Han Dynasty respect the Li family, the people have no soldiers and disasters, and the joy of everyone is the emperor's order. ”

After reaching an agreement, the new king of Goryeo immediately sent a servant of Goryeo: Zheng Daochuan, rushed to the Ming Dynasty to thank the city of Nanjing, and offered sixty horses.

In August, he sent Zhao Lin, the former secret envoy of Goryeo, to Beijing to express his words, "Quan knows that Li Chenggui, the minister of state of Goryeo; Fu Wei Xiaobang since the death of the Goryeo Gongchou King without heirs, Xin Min Ziyu pretended to be a thief of the throne for ten or five years, until Wuchen Chun vainly Xing Division, will commit the Liaodong Division, with the minister as the commander of the capital to lead the troops to the Yalu River, the minister steals from himself that the small state can not commit the realm of the kingdom, and the Zhu will be righteous that he will return to the teacher, Yu is aware of his sin, and the position of Zichang. Chang was also weak and difficult to take the throne, and the people of the country were ordered by the princess An to set the state affairs of the king of the Chang Mansion. Yao Nai was unconscious and lawless, disordered in criminal and political affairs, slanderous and slanderous, and belittled the grievances of loyal and good subjects, without any accusation. Princess Gongchou An was deeply concerned, and ordered to return to the private residence of a country's ministers, officials, the elderly, the military and the people, etc., thinking that the affairs of the military state could not be ununified for a day, and pushed the ministers to know the military affairs. The minister has no talent and virtue, and he resigned again and again, and was forced by the public feelings, and he was not able to escape and tremble and was at a loss. His Majesty the Emperor is expected to use the amount of the universe and the brightness of the sun and the moon to observe the inviolability of the will of the people and the inviolability of the ministers, and cut it from the sacred heart to determine the will of the people. ”

After that, the Ministry of Rites replied with the will of Ming Taizu: "Goryeo is limited to the mountains and the sea and the sky to create Dongyi, which is not governed by my Central Plains!" If the Ministry of Rites and Rites is free to teach and preach the people, if it can conform to the will of heaven and the hearts of the people, and the people of Dongyi will not be provoked, then the mission will be exchanged, and the blessing of the other country will be realized. When the documents arrive, the country will be changed, and Xingchi will report it. ”

Therefore, in November, the new king of Goryeo sent Han Shangzhen, a bachelor of the Goryeo Art and Literature Museum, to the Ming Empire, saying that "Yao, the descendant of the Wang clan of the small state, died in a coma, and the subjects of a country pushed Dai Chenquan to supervise state affairs." Frightened and trembling, at a loss, Qinmeng Shengci allowed the ministers to know the state affairs, and still asked the country name, and the ministers and the people were particularly happy. The minister whispered and thought, there is a national name, and it is not for the ministers to dare to do it. I would like to take the names of "Joseon" (the name of the ancient country built by Jizi) and "Hening" (the birthplace of Lee Sung-gye) to Tiancong, and I hope to take them from the Holy Judgment. ”

In the end, the Ministry of Rites replied with the will of Ming Taizu, "The name of Dongyi, but the name of North Korea is beautiful, and its origin is far away, so it can be ancestors in its name." Titian herdsman, heir of Yongchang. ”

Therefore, the name "Joseon" was approved by the Emperor Daming of the suzerain, and officially became the name of the new dynasty, the new king of Goryeo: Yi Sung-gye, who sent the Goryeo Sect to serve and approve the matter: Choi Yong-lan, and Xie En sent the Goryeo Jungtang Literature: Li Tian to give the seal of the Goryeo king to the previous dynasty before the Ming Dynasty, and asked the monarch to be named "Li Dan".

In this way, after the new king of Goryeo received the edict of the Ming Empire, he put on the crown dress of the county king sent by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and was officially crowned as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and changed the name of the country to "Li Joseon" and changed his name to "Li Dan".

In April 1394, the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Li Dan (Li Chenggui), the king of Taizu County of the Li family, directly sent the deputy envoy of the Central Council of the Li Dynasty: Zheng Nanjin, and the Korean criminal Cao Yilang: Xian Fu Lin, in order to avoid future troubles, and strangled the king of Gongrang County of Goryeo and his two sons.

In the dispatch of Lee's Joseon Punishment Cao Dianshu: Yin Bangqing, Lee's Joseon Marshal: Wu Mengyi, to Ganghwa Island, Lee's Joseon Officials Cao Dianshu: Son Heungjong, Lee's Joseon Temperance: Shen Hyosheng, to Geoje Island to exterminate all the Goryeo clans imprisoned in two places.

As a result, in order to avoid the disaster of killing, the Goryeo clan added strokes to the "Wang" clan and changed it to the surnames of Ok, Quan, Qin, Shin, Tian, Che, Zhou, Ma, and Long, Nai, and Kim, so that the population of the Wang family on the Korean Peninsula of the Lee family was very sparse and became a small surname.

However, although the country name of Lee's Joseon was approved by the Ming Empire, Ming Taizu has never recognized the county throne of Lee's Joseon Taizu?

One month after his accession to the throne, the king of the Joseon dynasty of the Yi clan thought that the kingship of Kaegyong was exhausted, and began to actively plan to move the capital, and within a month of his accession to the throne, he decreed that the capital would be moved from Kaegyeong to Hanyang Fortress, and that the temple and palace were built, and Gyeongbokgung Palace was built.

In the 29th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, in 1396 A.D., after the completion of the construction of the Li Joseon Dynasty Palace, the king of the Li Joseon Dynasty officially set the capital to Seoul City, and continued to rely on the Li Joseon Fenghua Bo: Zheng Daochuan internally, implemented reforms and planned the territory of the Li Dynasty, and externally conquered the Jurchen tribes in the northeast by appeasement and force, so that it further strengthened its jurisdiction over the region and made its territory reach the Tumen River.

On February 23, Prince Ming Ningxian: Zhu Quan, the report to the imperial court mentioned that there have been cavalry patrols in the north recently, and they have been left on the roadway.

Ming Taizu had to report and said, "Hu people are more deceitful and weaker than others, this will set up an ambush to lure our army, if the army chases, I am afraid of falling into its scheme!" ”

So Ming Taizu decided to send Prince Yanwu of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Di, and asked him to select elite soldiers and horses to arrive in Daning to command the envoy and Quanningwei, and inspect the Hu soldiers along the bank of the Liao River in Suiyi to cover the attack, and also ordered the prince of Zhou Ding: Zhu Hu, and ordered the prince of Ming Zhou: Zhu Youstew, and led the elite of Henan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division to the north parallel to the north to command the patrol of Si Saikou.

On the 7th day of the first month of March, Prince Yanwu of Ming led his army north to Checher Mountain, where he encountered the Hu soldiers of the Beiyu, and fought with them to capture his first general: Balin Timur, and dozens of other people chased to the city of Wuliang Ha Sanwei (Xu Fuwei, Taining Wei, Duoyan Wei), and met the deputy leader: Harawu, and fought with him again, among which the commander of Wuliang Ha Sanwei made the troops dare not invest in help! It wasn't until Harawu was defeated and fled that Prince Ming Yanwu returned from his class.

On the 5th day of the beginning of August, the commander of the Northern Parallel Capital reported that the "Kaiping Zhongtun Guard" had been established in Shayu to guard the Qianhu Office, and now it is proposed to set up the "Kaiping Left Tun Guard" in the Liuhe Camp, the Kaiping Right Tun Guard in Juntai County, the Kaiping Qiantun Guard in the Biling, and the Kaiping Houtun Guard in the Stone Tower, all of which have been approved, and Ming Taizu also set up the Kaiping Left Guard, Kaiping Right Guard, Kaiping Guard, and Kaiping Rear Guard, thus strengthening the defense capability of the border fortress.

On the 6th day of the first month of October, Ming Taizu decreed the order of each division, which was determined by the meeting of the Ministry of Rites; The first of all the affairs is the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, followed by the 26 Guards of the Pro-Army, who go to the General Political Envoy Department, and then to the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Supervision of the Imperial History, and the Judgment Division.

Then there is the official department, the household department, the ritual department, the military department, the engineering department, and then the Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin, the five cities of the soldiers and horses command the envoys, Qin Tianjian, if the Taichang Temple plays the sacrifice of the matter should be in front of the division.

Every time the Ming Taizu wore a crown dress and 12 chapters to personally drive Fengtianmen (within the imperial gate), let the hundred officials kowtow, and only then did they stand in class order after the ceremony, and praised a certain yamen in turn with the ceremonial division, and re-entered the class after the performance, and served the divisions to retreat.

If Ming Taizu personally drove the Fengtian Palace, the officials wore court clothes and arranged according to the rank, and the four grades were ascended to the hall to retreat first, and the rest of the officials could not enter the palace, and could only wait in the two corridors outside the center left and center right doors, and the officials would come out.

If Ming Taizu enters the Wenhua Palace, he wears a gown, with the Zhan Mansion first, and the rest of the yamen officials wear official uniforms in order of rank.

Ming Taizu also imitated the Zhou ritual system, followed the costumes of the emperors of previous dynasties, and ordered men across the country to wear "net scarves", and also ordered that eunuchs should never interfere in politics, and announced to the outside world that the 15 countries that were not levied in the [Emperor Ming Zu Xun] were; Lee's Joseon, Muromachi Shogunate, Great Ryukyu Kingdom, Lesser Ryukyu Kingdom, Annam Kingdom, Siam Kingdom, Champa Kingdom, Sumatra Kingdom, Western Kingdom, Chenla Kingdom, Java Kingdom, Pahang Kingdom, Baihua Kingdom, Sanfuqi Kingdom, and Boni Kingdom, and issued (sea ban decree) in addition to the activities of the Fujian Navy Division under the rule of Quanzhou Wei under the rule of Quanzhou Wei, and the Ming Zhou Wei City Bo Tiju Division under the rule of Ming Zhouwei, Zhejiang Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, Only the Guangzhou Prefecture and the Municipal Bureau of Guangzhou under the rule of the Guangdong Chengxuan Political Envoy Division remained.

Taizu also suppressed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, stipulating that no matter whether it was a prince or a nobleman or a minister of the court, only two taels of silver for bribes would be convicted and taken from office, and 60 taels of corruption would be immediately beheaded.

Secondly, during the reign of Ming Taizu, the country was well governed, especially the order to treat the people well was unanimously praised, and the national capital was also set up, which was totaled during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty; There were 547 guards and 2,563 guards and garrisons for the defense of the thousand households, and it was stipulated that all localities should recruit military households and implement the tuntian system to supplement the army and strengthen local defense.

On June 24, 1398, the 31st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the 71-year-old Ming Taizu died in Yingtianfu and was buried in the "Ming Filial Piety Mausoleum". Emperor Wu Wanggao of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, the crown prince (Ming Crown Prince: Zhu Yunwen) ascended the throne, and the name of the following year was changed to "Jianwen First Year", which was "Ming Huizong".
