Chapter 83: Zhaozhong Temple (First Update, Ask for Support)

Palace!

Not only does the Beijing division have the imperial palace, there is an imperial palace in Nanjing, and there is also a imperial palace in Shenyang, but it is different from the imperial palace in Nanjing, this imperial palace in Shenyang is built by the Houjin and the so-called "Mandate of Heaven ten years", before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, its imperial palace was located in Shenyang, after moving the capital to Beijing, this imperial palace was called "accompanying the capital palace", "staying in the capital palace", although it is only the palace of the capital of the founding of the country, but because it is the lofty status of the palace of the founding emperor "Longxing Heavy Land", it is highly valued by the Manchu emperor, and it is repaired every year.

And now, this so-called "Liudu Palace", as Shenyang returned to the hands of its true owner, its name has also changed, it is no longer the Manchu Imperial Palace, transformed into the "Zhaozhong Temple", and it is enshrined from the early Ming Dynasty in Liaodong generals and soldiers tablets. Although except for a few generals, only the three grades and generals have a single tablet to worship, and from the third rank below to the ninth grade is a tablet for 100 people, as for the ordinary soldiers, they are hidden in boxes with a collective roster, and each box has a list of 10,000 people, but because the list is incomplete, there are only a few boxes of rosters.

But even so, the "Jinluan Palace" in the Qing Dynasty was also the highest-ranking and most important "Chongzheng Palace" in the Shenyang Imperial Palace, which was used as the main hall of the Zhaozhong Temple, which still made many people feel dark.

"Come to think of it, since it is the hundreds of thousands of heroic souls of my Ming Dynasty who have souls in the sky, the loyal souls are here today, and they will also be comforted under the nine springs."

No one would doubt this, and even at the funeral ceremony a month ago, when everyone looked at the words "Zhaozhong Temple" on the temple, they always had a smile on their faces. I'm afraid that even Huang Taiji never thought that one day, his so-called palace would become the Zhaozhong Temple of the Ming Dynasty.

"The three scholars have spirits in the sky, and it is really a gift from the Celestial Empire to enter the Zhaozhong Temple of the Celestial Dynasty today......"

While waiting for the arrival of the king, Song Shilie looked at the guards standing in front of the palace, and silently thought in his heart, he even glanced up at the sky.

On the way to Zhaozhong Temple, Zhu Mingzhong also glanced at the sky from the car window, but unlike others, what he cared about was the weather.

"It's a good day!"

Zhu Mingzhong said to himself.

"This show, no matter what, has to go on!"

Today's "Bongseong Ceremony" is just a show, a show for North Koreans! And the "spirit" enshrined is the tablet of the three scholars of Joseon.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, which is the so-called tenth year of Houjin Tiancong, on April 11, Emperor Taiji of Houjin Khan was proclaimed emperor in Shenyang, changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty, and changed the Yuan Chongde. In advance, he sent an envoy to inform the king of Joseon, asking him to sever friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty and participate in the ranks of supporters, but he was categorically refused.

When the Korean monarchs and ministers learned that Huang Taiji was preparing to proclaim himself emperor and the two letters brought by the embassy demanded that Korea turn its back on the Ming Dynasty and proclaim himself a vassal to the Later Jin, the whole country was indignant. When the dynasty met with its ministers, the ministers condemned the move. They made an impassioned statement, pointing out that the traditional friendly relations between the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty were "inherited by the saints, united in all matters, and conscientious and diligent" and could not be changed. Later, Jin's move was actually an unrighteous act of "stealing false accounts", and "there was a new crime of rebellion in the Celestial Empire", which must be strictly rejected. He even proposed to behead the above to make the Ming Court. The king then decreed that he should refuse to see the envoy and accept the letter. The Houjin envoy returned in vain.

He was very angry that the envoy was rejected, so after he became emperor, he personally sent a letter to the king of Joseon, severely reprimanding him for not being able to achieve power and change, and coercing him to submit with a large army, but he was still refused. In December of that year, Huang Taiji personally led his troops to conquer Korea. Although the whole country rose up and resisted from all sides, it was finally defeated by the fierce Eight Banners Army, and was defeated one after another. At the end of the first month of the second year, Joseon was forced to sign a humiliating peace treaty with the Qing Dynasty, and handed over to the Qing three civil servants who firmly advocated loyalty to the Ming and against the Qing Dynasty: Hong Yihan, the commander of the Sixian Mansion, Yin Ji, the head of the Hongwenguan school, and Wu Daji, the editor of the school, that is, the "three scholars".

After the three scholars fell into the hands of the enemy, they were awe-inspiring and refused the temptation of the Qing people. When the Qing troops withdrew, they were taken to Shenyang. In the face of repeated threats and temptations from the Qing people, they were unmoved. Whether in the prison or above the Qing court, in the face of the persuaders, the emperor and the ministers, he spoke eloquently. The righteous words sternly denounced the indecent and perverse rebellion of the Qing Dynasty and the conquest of Korea, and expressed a firm attitude of preferring death to the unyielding. When the Qing court failed to recruit and surrender, they killed him one after another on the charge of "advocating for the clear and defeating the alliance and forming troops".

As a result, there are three bachelors in Shenyang!

The righteousness of the three bachelors is where the "big thing" idea of Chongming and supporting Ming in North Korea lies. It is also determined by the righteousness that they wholeheartedly approve of and adhere to, that is, the so-called Spring and Autumn Righteousness. They insisted on respecting the king and strictly guarding against the summer. They believed that the Ming Dynasty was a great power of the Celestial Empire and a unique co-ruler of the world. Since the beginning of the fall, I only heard that there is a great tomorrow" must be fully maintained. Respecting the great things of the world is the truth, and it is "the great righteousness of the poor world in the past and the present". Therefore, they "take not betraying the emperor as the first righteousness". Take "the emperor of ministers" as "the course of etiquette". This is the consensus of the whole country.

Of course, this is also what Zhu Mingzhong needs, he not only needs North Korea's "big things", but also needs to change North Korea from "autonomy" to "province", and it is precisely because of this that he will hold this ceremony to invite the spirits of Hong Yihan, Yin Ji, and Wu Daji into the Zhaozhong Temple to commend their loyalty. even specially asked Yongli to give the three of them names, which can be described as extremely glorious.

And all this is just to buy off the two classes of ministers of North Korea and Shilin, this kind of superficial article is worth it, as for the future, it is just a matter of pushing the boat with the water.

The carriage is getting closer and closer, Zhu Mingzhong, who was sitting in the carriage, tidied up the king's robe on his body, and his expression became more and more solemn, he is now the Huai King of the Ming Dynasty, the starring role of this show.

"Remembering the Emperor's grace, remembering the Emperor's grace, giving the name of the vassal is the emperor's grace, remembering the emperor's grace, remembering the emperor's grace, recreating the feudal state is the emperor's grace; Remembering the emperor's grace, remembering the emperor's grace, the order of the eastward aid is the emperor's grace; Remembering the emperor's grace, remembering the emperor's grace, saving the state is the emperor's grace ......"

muttering this poem Wu Daxuan, as a fellow of Wu Daji, he had arrived in Beijing as an angel, but his state of mind at this time was completely different from the past.

Not only is the honor enjoyed by the cousin of Tongzong at this time, but the reputation brought to the Wu family, and now no one in North Korea knows "Wu Wenzhong Gong", and who does not know that his cousin's nickname was given by Emperor Huangming. The mourning brought by the matter of loyalty is far beyond people's expectations, not only the three scholars have received the nickname, but even several deceased loyal scholars have also been given the title of the Ming Emperor.

The emperor's grace has come to this point, and the whole of the DPRK is naturally grateful, and even now among the Korean scholars, they are talking about how to "do great things with the sincerity of a small state" and how to "serve the emperor", and at this time, the Korean scholars are all proud of the "ministers and emperors", of course, this is "where the great righteousness lies". The Three Scholars died defending this righteousness!

At this time, when he came to the Celestial Empire again, Wu Daxuan wanted to see the king even more in addition to his excitement, because this trip was not "Chaotian", so he had not yet seen the king, and only after the ceremony was over, the group could meet the king and accept the king's banquet.

This is the first time in the 300-year history of the DPRK that such a ceremony cannot be tolerated. Every step of the ceremony was carefully discussed and formulated by both parties. Now, it only takes a waiting moment for the king to arrive, and then the ceremony can be held.

Buddha bless, everything goes well!

Almost every North Korean present secretly prayed that the reason why they were so nervous was because they were afraid that because of the weather or other reasons, the funeral ceremony would not be held as scheduled, and the whole North Korean would regret it.

Now in North Korea, even because of the emperor's name, there is another vision for the future among the scholars, and maybe one day there will be Koreans who are worthy of worshiping the Confucian Temple!

Worthy of enjoying the Confucian Temple!

I thought of the "delusions" I heard when I was in Seoul. Wu Daxuan just smiled secretly, and said in his heart the ignorance of those people, don't they know that "North Korea is narrow, and there are neither big rivers nor big rivers, so how can there be saints", since there can be no saints, how can there be sages worthy of worshipping Confucius Temple?

"If you can get the emperor's "text" after your death, although you are dead, you will not be shaken! ”

Just when this thought popped up in Wu Daxuan's heart, the military horn sounded over there.

The king has arrived!

The first to arrive at the "Zhaozhong Temple" is a team of cavalry, after the cavalry passed, there was a carriage parked in front of the "Zhaozhong Gate", and then the guards stepped forward to open the door, after the door opened, Wu Daxuan, who was located in the front row, tried his best to look at the "Zhaozhong Gate", he remembered the appearance of the king, which would be the same as when he saw the holy face in the palace, and became the glory of his life.

Zhu Mingzhong, who was dressed in a red robe, walked slowly with a solemn expression, and after entering the Zhaozhong Gate, in addition to the civil and military generals of the Loyal and Righteous Army, there were also Korean envoys standing on both sides, a full fifty-six people, in addition to officials, there were also relatives and friends of the "Three Bachelors".

Some slight gestures are not rude, but "grace". At least these Koreans felt the king's other treatment, Wu Daxuan, who was standing behind Song Shilie, although he was old, but when the king approached, he felt that his breathing suddenly stopped, and now he felt that his body was trembling like a sieve, and his face even became red because of being too excited, and he wanted to shout loudly and found that his voice seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak at all.

Looking at the king who was getting closer and closer, Wu Daxuan's eyes stared at the king, his lips trembled slightly, he only felt that his vision became blurred, his knees were weak with tears in his eyes, and at the moment when he fell to the ground, suddenly the voice came back and howled loudly.

"Ministers of small states, knock to see Your Majesty......"
