"What does Emperor Hua mean?" Li Yuying, the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard, put down the telegram. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yuying, the monarch of the Xingxuan Courtyard, had already asked Emperor Hua about his meaning, of course, through Li Tae-hee, who was the daughter of Li Yuying, the monarch of the Xingxuan Courtyard.

President Moe did not reply.

Li Yuying, the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard, originally wanted to continue to take control of North Korea as a 'hero' who ousted the Min Concubine group from power, but how dare he ask such a question?

"They don't give a clear statement now, we can't do it in the future, if we kill people too quickly, doesn't it mean that we are doing things for Huaguo?" Li Zaimian, the eldest son of Li Yuying, the king of Xingxuan Courtyard, asked.

Li Yuying sighed, "As soon as Li Xi handed over power, the entire North Korean people were looking at us, but in this position, it is not my turn to sit, and it is not your turn to sit, do you understand?" ”

"But now all North Koreans support my father." Li Zaimian said unwillingly.

At the end of the second year of Tongji (1863, the 14th year of Jejong), the then king of Joseon, Jejong Yi Yu, was seriously ill and had no heirs, and the Andong Kim family and the Pungyang Cho family were in opposition over the issue of succession to the throne.

The Pungyang Cho clan, led by Concubine Cho (Queen Shenzhen), advocated supporting the son of Heungxuanjun to succeed to the throne and suppressed the Andong Kim clan.

Under the patriarchal rule of "the eldest son is not a queen", Lee Jae-myeon, who was the eldest son of the concubine, lost the qualification to inherit the throne, and his younger brother Lee Jae-hwang (Lee Myeong-bok) was succeeded to Concubine Cho as an adopted son, inheriting the unification of the Korean Yizong and ascending to the throne, changing his name to Li Xi, which was for Joseon Gojong.

And Xingxuanjun Li Yuying was enshrined as Xingxuandaejun, replacing the king to manage the government and becoming the most powerful dictator in North Korea at that time.

In the third year of Tongzhi (1864, the first year of Gojong of Joseon), Lee Jae-mian was awarded the first grade of liberal arts in the court examination, except for the Kyujanggak to be taught. On the first day of the first lunar month of the following year, he was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Seongkyunkwan Yuan, and since then, he has successively held official positions such as the chief secretary of Sungkyunkwan, the secretary of the council, and the governor of the government.

In the sixth year of Tongzhi (1867, the fourth year of Gaozong), he was specially promoted to the banquet of Tongzhijing, and later served as the official Cao Shenju, Zong Zhengqing and other positions.

Although Li Zaimian is the eldest son of Xingxuan Dayuanjun, he has never been among the center because of this relationship, and after a long time, he complained very much about his father Dayuanjun, feeling that he didn't love himself.

As the king's elder brother, Li Zaimian should be crowned a monarch but not a king, and he was invited to be a general, but the king of the courtyard was not allowed.

At this time, Gojong's princess Min Concubine secretly rose and was ready to use the power of the Min family to overthrow Daewonjun, and Lee Jae-mian was gradually bought by Concubine Min's brother Min Seung-ho and others (Min Seung-ho was also Lee Jae-myon's uncle, and had a very good relationship with him since Lee Jae-mian was a child), so he took refuge in the Lixing Min Group.

Lee Jae-mian often spoke ill of Daewon-jun in front of Gojong, and stabbed Daewon-jun's information to Min Seung-ho and others.

In November of the twelfth year of Tongzhi (1873, the tenth year of Gaozong), Choi Yixuan attacked Daeyuanjun, and Lee Jae-mian also cooperated with Concubine Min, Min Shenghao, Zhao Ningxia and others to encourage Gaozong to pro-government and drive away Dayuanjun.

In the end, Daewonjun collapsed, and the Min Concubine group controlled the state politics of North Korea.

But after the Min family took power, Lee Jae-mian did not get any benefits from it, so he began to resent the Min Concubine group again, and often cursed Min Shenghao and others behind his back.

When Dayuanjun heard it, he sighed that Li Zaimian was a "blunt son".

Li Zaimian was finally promoted, and was specially promoted to the feast of knowing the scriptures, and was appointed as the sentence of Cao.

Since then, he has successively served as the official position of judging the affairs of the forbidden government, judging the military Cao, and the general of the Praetorian Guard.

In August of the same year, he was transferred to the post of official Cao Jushu, in November he was appointed as the general of the Praetorian Guard, and in March of the following year, he was appointed as the chief of the Li Cao Senator.

"Son, you'll never be able to go up, your brain can't do it. It's not my turn, it's not the turn of the North Koreans, the Chinese army didn't move, this is leading but not starting, understand? Not to mention that there are four or five times more Han people in North Korea than North Koreans, even if they are all North Koreans, it will not be the turn of North Koreans anymore, because North Koreans have been classified as Han Chinese, and only if you understand this can you keep the glory and wealth, you are not even as good as your sister. Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying turned around and said slowly.

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, tens of thousands of Korean soldiers and civilians began to besiege the Japanese legation, and the rebel soldiers and citizens fought fiercely with the Japanese until late at night, and they burned down the houses around the legation in order to cut off the Japanese rear road, and the Japanese minister to the DPRK Hanafang Yoshishi was forced to burn down the legation, and 28 members of the embassy fired guns all the way, killing many besieging Korean soldiers and then rushing out of a bloody road and fleeing in a hurry.

After several setbacks, Hwafang and his entourage fled to Inchon for refuge and were captured by the Chinese army.

Although President Meng did not allow the Chinese army to participate, the Chinese army was on standby on the periphery to prevent a Japanese from escaping.

President Meng wants to settle the new accounts and the old accounts together.

A total of 13 Japanese were killed in the course of the mutiny (7 were killed when the Xiadu Jian Beiji Army was attacked, and 6 were killed during the escape of Hanafang and his party), and the Huaguo Bureau of Statistics obtained valuable information and provided a pretext for a comprehensive boycott of Japan and a blockade of Japan.

At first, the Korean government did not pay enough attention to the situation of the mutiny, and treated the mutiny as an ordinary disorder, and only allowed the general of the military guard to come forward again when the riot spread, and was disbanded, and was bombed away by the rebel army and civilians; And the little troops he sent to suppress them all defected, and as a result, the Min Fei clique fell into an embattled situation, and the army and political institutions in Seoul were completely paralyzed within a day.

On the morning of July 24, 1877, the soldiers and citizens of the Sanlu Uprising marched to the palace of Seoul in a big way, preparing to overthrow the rule of the Min Concubine group in one fell swoop.

The uprising soldiers and citizens were unstoppable and stormed the royal palace from Dunhwamun Gate - Changdeok Palace, and killed a large number of officials of the Min Concubine group such as Kim Fu-hyun and Min Qian-ho who were hiding in the palace.

The rebel soldiers and citizens also stormed the harem and chased and killed Concubine Min everywhere.

In the chaos, Concubine Min hurriedly disguised herself as a palace maid and escaped from the palace under the protection of Hong Jaexi (later renamed Hong Qixun), a martial arts supervisor, and hid in the home of her relative Min Yongwei in her hometown of Lizhou County.

When she fled, she was assisted by the eldest lady of Lixing Mansion Min Shi (the wife of the monarch of the courtyard), and the eldest lady of the mansion lent the four-person sedan chair to Concubine Min, and when Concubine Min left the palace, Zheng Yiji and other rebel soldiers opened the four-person sedan chair and dragged Concubine Min out. ”

Concubine Min escaped from Seoul and could not escape from the blockade area of the Chinese Army Garrison Headquarters on the outskirts of Seoul, and was still caught.

But the Chinese army kept it a secret.

In this way, the power-leaning Min Concubine group collapsed under the roar of soldiers and citizens, and the situation became out of control.

Faced with this sudden situation, Joseon Gaozong Li Xi panicked, and was forced to urgently summon Dayuanjun into the palace to serve him, and he avoided the other palace, and announced that he would return to Dayuanjun to save the situation, and Dayuanjun entered the palace with his wife Lixingfu Lady and eldest son Li Zaimian.

Dayuanjun got his wish and assumed the regency for the second time with the support of the rebel soldiers and citizens.

The first thing Dayuan Jun did after taking power was to clean up the chaos in the palace.

At this time, thousands of soldiers and citizens poured into the palace, searching for Concubine Min and hunting down officials, and it became bloody and chaotic in an instant.

The king of the courtyard first ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the court, but the soldiers said: "The middle hall (princess) is here, and she will kill us and others; Die, rather do great things and die, never dare to retreat! ”

As a last resort, the king of the courtyard immediately announced that Concubine Min had died in the chaos and issued a national funeral. He also ordered pardons for the rebellious soldiers and citizens, their dismissal from the palace, and the payment of the soldiers' outstanding salaries. Only then did the rebel soldiers and citizens lay down their arms and withdraw from Changdeokgung Palace. The Renwu mutiny was temporarily quelled.

After Xingxuan Dayuanjun came to power again, he completely abolished the opening measures implemented by the Min Concubine group.

He first carried out personnel transfers, dismissed the remnants of the Min Fei clique, used his own cronies and Shen Yingchao and other conservative scholars, and released Zheng Xiande, Li Wansun, Jin Pingmo and other officials and Confucian scholars who were imprisoned for opposing the opening of the country.

He also let his eldest son, Li Zaimian, concurrently serve as the general of Wuwei, the judgment of Hucao, and the head of the Xuanhui Hall, and control the military power and finances. In addition to personnel arrangements, after regaining power, Tai Yuan Jun also immediately embarked on reforms to alleviate the social crisis.

Li Yu, the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard, should first order the grain and rice from the counties near the capital to be transported to the capital as rice for the soldiers and food for the people.

After that, he ordered that it was strictly forbidden to mint money without permission in order to protect the interests of the country.

In addition, he abolished the Tuja system, emphasizing that everyone had to pay taxes, and that local goods should be shipped directly to Seoul to prevent the local tycoons from making illegal profits from it.

Then he announced the restoration of the Fifth Battalion Army and the Three Military Offices, the abolition of the Special Technical Army, and the abolition of the Yamen of the Command of Machinery.

In the following days, folk rumors spread that Min Yongyi and other remnants of the Min Concubine group who had fled abroad entangled tens of thousands of people and prepared to enter Beijing to wash the city. At that time, "there was a great chaos, and the people of the neighborhood were uncovered, rushing into the streets and alleys, claiming to be thieves, and the momentum was surging."

Dayuanjun personally walked out of Dunhua Gate to appease the people of Seoul, and announced the closure of the city gates, the opening of the arsenal, and the weapons to everyone for common defense.

As a result, the soldiers and citizens were armed again, and a new round of purges of the Min Concubine group was launched, and many people were thought to be infants and died unexpectedly, and many relatives surnamed Min and officials who advocated an open policy were killed by the rebel soldiers and citizens one after another, and even the people who went to Beijing to take the examination were killed as the internal response of the merchants, simply because the roster of applicants hidden in their sleeves was considered to be the list of merchants.

From this rumor incident, it can be seen that the people's fear and resentment of Concubine Min and their support for Dayuanjun are convinced.

At the same time, Dayuanjun also ordered the issuance of sea fishing documents to the members of the Min Concubine group throughout the country, and secretly sent the imperial history to various places to investigate the situation of the evacuees.

The rebel soldiers confiscated the property of the fugitive bureaucrats and beat and insulted the mourners who had been set up in Seoul to pay homage to the mourning place of Concubine Min.

They also destroyed temples on the outskirts of the city, which were believed to be nests where Concubine Min squandered her money by praying for blessings.

The rebel soldiers also did not believe that Concubine Min was dead, and still searched for Concubine Min everywhere.

Concubine Min was forced to leave Yeoju County, which was close to the capital, and fled south to take refuge in Changhowon, Chungju, under the escort of Hong Jae-hee, Yoon Tae-jun, Min Young-sik, Min Ken-sik, Lee Yong-yi, and others.

The mutiny was originally a civil strife in Korea, but it was greatly complicated by the anti-Japanese wave it triggered.

The martyrdom of the Japanese during the mutiny greatly shocked Japanese public opinion, and the government and the opposition debated endlessly.

"What should we do in the face of the current sentiment of the common people collectively asking adults to take up the throne? Is it ......?" asked Lee Jae-myon.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you make me think again." Li Yuying, the monarch of the Xingxuan Courtyard, sighed and turned his back.

What else can I do now?

For Li Yuying, the monarch of the Xingxuan Courtyard, there are only two ways to go, either to obediently give up his position and make a wedding dress for the emperor, or to make a heart and fight against the emperor to the end.

It just so happens that now there is a part of the Chinese army in Japan, and the logistics supply is difficult, and there are rebels on the Korean side, so this is a good opportunity for Li Yuying, the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard!

Li Yuying is decisive and has a strong personality, and the life-and-death power struggle with Concubine Min planted the seeds of the death of the Korean country.

Although the evaluation of Dayuanjun by people who are in about the same era as Dayuanjun is positive and negative, it can all be boiled down to the word "pity".

Those who are Yunxian are salivating for the wealth of Zhuangjin (Zhuangjin: that is, Anton Jin), once attained ambition, were lascivious and arrogant, rampant and arrogant, and regarded Zhuangjin and passed it. Hurt the vitality, resented Qianli, and was poor in civil engineering, and left to look at the color, for a ten-year career. Alack! When yes? Yunye? For a thousand years, there will also be those who sigh and hate him.

At the same time, he summed up his life: "It should be ten years of Bingjun, and the merits and sins are mixed.

After Jiaxu (1874), the feud with the Ming Dynasty deepened, and the number of endangered people was more than ten years. Every country has changed, and it has been pushed and saved by the public, and it has been repeatedly stumbled, and the thought of enmity and hatred remains unchanged until death, so there are few people. However, he was full of experience in his years, famous in foreign countries, and relied on the government and the opposition as elders. and his death, mourning from far and near. ”

Even though Dayuanjun made many mistakes during his lifetime, he still had a high prestige at that time.

The gentleman of the courtyard is very talented, although there are thousands of people, once they hear their name, they will never forget it. In the past ten years, there are many disadvantages, but if you don't learn and have no skills, you will be in general, you will be happy and powerful, you will be a light man, and you will be repaid. Especially the changes in the Lun Dynasty, the mishandling of the situation, so that the national veins withered, people regret it.

The treasury is overflowing, the military salary is abundant, the officials close to the people must choose to be honest and white, and the small people are safe.

The king of the courtyard can almost be a country, but it is a pity that he is not a country.

The courtyard is fierce and resolute, and the wind is galloping. If the system is flexible, the old precedent is insufficient; If the matter is broken, then people are not compassionate enough. For example, the elimination of power relatives, the thunderbolt of the door valve, the revolutionary army cloth, the withdrawal of the academy and the like are all out of outstanding perseverance, and the copper pillars and iron walls of the habits of the past are shattered by the tentacles, and the real political revolutionaries are also. …… It's a pity that there is no learning, and the governance is selfish and self-serving, and it is more than action; Externally, it is mainly rejected, closed and blind, and the death is turned into elbows and armpits, which is a disaster for the country, and the fortune of the peninsula is no longer prosperous. Alack! It's a pity that the history of pain began here.

Li Hongzhang once used the word "cunning" to evaluate the monarch of the courtyard, thinking that he brought disaster to the country and the people; However, we have to admit that "after 10 years of being in charge of the country, although there is corruption and violence in the measures, the manipulation is still free, and its talent is really beyond the reach of the DPRK."

It can be seen that Dayuanjun's evaluation is full of contradictions, which fully reflects the complexity of the character of Dayuanjun itself, and it is not something that can be concluded by one or two simple comments.

Europeans and Americans evaluate Dayuanjun mostly for his temperament and character, thinking that although he is old, he is full of vitality and energetic attitude, sharp vision, and energetic action, which are all deeply impressed by me.

He was a man of strong personality and arrogance, and although the common people hated him, they always respected him, and in fact he was a strongman who had ascended to the political arena of modern Korea. When he is confronted with moral, economic, political, and kinship problems, no matter how difficult it is, he is desperate to push only to the end what he wants, and his greatest characteristic is that he has this indomitable fighting spirit.

President Meng is also anxiously waiting, and Daewonjun is now undoubtedly at the top of the stage of Korean history again!

The fate of the whole of Korea, the fate of all Koreans, and the political direction of the whole of China in East Asia are all in the hands of Li Yuying, the king of the Heungxuan Courtyard.

It seems that although President Meng is a reborn giant, President Meng rarely grasps the direction of history independently.

"How? Is there any movement on the Courtyard Jun's side? President Moe asked Princess Katrina Kaf.
