Young Master Meng smiled: "If you go back to the queen, my name is Xuan Yuemeng, and my grandfather is Xuan Zonglu, the governor of Liaoning." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Queen Min nodded, "You are very welcome to come to Korea." You can go on and on about what you're going to say, though, I want to know, how old are you? Are you just here to have fun, or is there something going on? Why, your grandpa doesn't accompany you? ”

"I'm representing an Asian company! Regarding the construction of bridges and trade between Liaoning and Ping'an Road. Young Master Meng said calmly.

In fact, this Asian company is what Young Master Meng just thought, North Korea is now so xenophobic, and then under the banner of foreigners, it is obviously useless, the diplomacy of the colony should be more flexible, to the Qing State, under the banner of the Kingdom of Hawaii, to North Korea, under the banner of the son of the governor of Liaoning.

The son of the Liaoning governor's family is just a personal unit, and if you want to engage in activities with a large unit like North Korea, you can only think of another name, and the medium-term goal of Young Master Meng is the whole of Asia, so it's called an Asian company, and it's also trouble-free.

Grab it with both hands, and be hard with both hands!

Hey.

Young Master Meng looked at King Li Xi of North Korea and Queen Min Cijin, King Li Xi of North Korea was stupid, as if he was completely absent-minded, Queen Min Cijin seemed to be very interested in Young Master Meng, looking at what it looked like from top to bottom, and finally fell on Young Master Meng's eyes.

Min Cijin, Queen Min, was curious, what kind of child was this?

Yi Hee was the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty.

The first name is Zaihuang, the word is Mingfu, and the name of the milk is blessed; After ascending the throne, he changed his name to Xi, the word Shenglin, and the number Zhuyuan.

The Li family of Quanzhou is the son of Li Yuying, the king of Xingxuan Courtyard.

In 1864, Yi Hee succeeded to the throne as a side branch of the royal family and became the new king of Joseon.

Both the lives of Lee Hee and Min Cijin, Queen Min, were in the most turbulent and complex period in the history of the Korean Peninsula.

Li Xi was originally only a side branch of the royal family, and it was basically impossible to inherit the throne. By blood, he is the 9th grandson of Joseon Injo; In terms of lineage, he is the 5th grandson of Joseon Youngjo (Lee Hee's grandfather Nam Yeonjun Lee Ball was succeeded to Youngjo's grandson Eun Shinjun Yi Jin), and his relationship with the royal family has been very estranged. Due to the fact that the previous king, Joseon Zhezong Yi Yu, had no heirs, Yi Xi ascended to the throne of Joseon under the combined effect of various factors.

Li Xi is the son of Xingxuanjun Li Yuying.

On the 25th day of the seventh month of the second year of Xianfeng (1852), Li Xi was born in the capital of North Korea, Seoul (now Seoul, South Korea), in Zhenseonbang (Xingxuanjunfu, renamed Unhyeon Palace after Li Xi ascended the throne), at that time his name was Li Jaehuang, and his name was Mingfu. His mother is the eldest lady of Lixing Mansion, Min Shi, and there is a cousin Li Zaixian and a brother-in-law Li Zaimian.

Lee Myung-bok (Lee Hee) is said to have had signs of ascending to the throne at an early age.

At that time, a person named Park Youpeng saw Li Mingfu's face and exclaimed: "The watch of the sky! ”

In December of the second year of Tongzhi (1863), the then king of Joseon Zhejong fell ill and died, without any sons under his knees.

The eldest princess Zhao (Queen Shenzhen, wife of the prince of Hyomyeong) decided to proclaim Li Myeong-bok as the new king.

However, behind the passing of the official history, there is a hidden biological father of Li Xi, Xingxuanjun Li Yuying, who has been working hard for more than ten years.

In the Joseon Dynasty, since the Jeongjo Yi Shu, the royal power has fallen, and the government is controlled by the foreign relative Andong Kim.

Li Yuying has been living in the shadow of Anton Kim's family, although he has great ambitions, he lives a life that he has never met with talents.

Li Yuying originally knew that Joseon Zhezong was weak and sickly and wanted to seize the throne, so he tried his best to pretend to be crazy and stupid, on the one hand, he saved his life under the high pressure of Andong Kim, and on the other hand, he deceived Concubine Zhao and other powerful people, making them think that Li Yuying was an incompetent person and relaxed their vigilance against him.

Before and after Zhezong's death, Li Yuying's activities became more frequent.

Li Yu should have known that Concubine Zhao wanted to monopolize power and was at odds with the ministers of the Anton Jin family, such as Jin Zuogen and Jin Xinggen, who were in control of the government at the time of Zhezong, so he actively colluded with the palace maids around Concubine Zhao and offered many suggestions to Concubine Zhao, saying that if the ministers of the Jin family were allowed to support the descendants of other royal families as kings, in order to inherit the unification of Zhezong, not only would the ministers of the Jin family sit on the power, but also the lineage of Yizong (the son of Xiaoming) would be severed.

But if his son is king, he can put an end to the Kim family's ambition to take power.

Li Yuying's long-term relationship finally came to fruition, and Concubine Zhao was moved by it and chose to make Li Yuying's youngest son Li Mingfu the king.

Even though the ministers of the Kim family, the princess of Hyunjong Hong (Queen Hyoding) and the princess of Cheoljong Kim (Queen Cheolin) all opposed the succession to the throne with Lee Myung Bok, Concubine Cho still insisted on Lee Myung Bok as the heir to the throne as the elder of the court.

Li Mingfu then changed his name to Li Xi, was named Yi Chengjun, performed the crown ceremony, and was succeeded to the Korean Yizong as an adopted son, inheriting his unification.

On December 13 of the same year (January 21, 1864 in the solar calendar), Yi Hee wore a gown and a crown, and was officially located at the Injeongmun Gate of Changdeokgung Palace, which was for Gojong.

In September of the third year of Tongzhi (1864), he was canonized as the king of Korea by the suzerainty Qing Dynasty. In this way, Gojong Yi Hee, who was originally denied the throne, ascended to the throne of the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty under the manipulation of his biological father Yi Yuying and the support of Concubine Cho.

When Gojong Li Xi ascended the throne, he was only 12 years old. worshiped his adoptive mother Zhao as the princess, and she listened to the government; He also named his biological father Li Yu as the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard and praised the government affairs.

The administration of Heungseondaewonjun is considered by Korean historians to be the beginning of modern Korean history.

As soon as Xingxuan Dayuan Jun took power, he showed extraordinary political talent. He began to cultivate his own power and initiated a reform process aimed at strengthening the centralization of ****ism.

In the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), Queen Zhao withdrew the curtain, and the monarch of the courtyard took sole power.

On the one hand, Daewonjun vigorously rejected the forces of the Andong Kim clan and expelled all of them from the imperial court, even the Pungyang Cho clan, who had helped him, and began to establish the long-lost royal majesty. At the same time, Gyeongbokgung Palace was rebuilt with great fanfare as a symbol of the monarch's authority.

In addition, he carried out political, economic, and cultural reforms, trying to repair the edifice of the Joseon feudal dynasty; He also strictly pursued the policy of seclusion and religious persecution, set off the "Bingyin Evil Prison", and slaughtered tens of thousands of Catholics.

At this time, Korea was already facing the crisis of aggression by Western capitalist countries, and it was even more prominent by the time of Gojong.

In August of the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), there was an incident in which American merchant ships invaded the Datong River, and in September of the same year, there was an incident in which the French invaded Korea.

In March of the tenth year of Tongzhi (1871), American warships invaded Korea, which was known as "Xinwei Yang Disturbance" in history. However, both the French and American fleets failed in the face of resolute resistance from the Korean military and civilians, which further strengthened Daewonjun's determination to implement the policy of seclusion, and he ordered the erection of "peace monuments" throughout the country. At the beginning of Gojong's accession to the throne, the Joseon Dynasty seemed to have regained its vitality under Daewonjun's iron-fisted politics and change of course.

When his father was in power, Gaozong himself was like a puppet, indulging in pleasure all day long, and did not like to read.

However, in order to cultivate Gaozong, Dayuanjun still ordered him to study Confucian classics. From the time of his accession to the throne, Gojong received a rigorous education that required him to study three times a day, with sutras held from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Once, when Gaozong read "Mencius", when he saw the chapter and sentence of "Seventy miles of soup, one hundred miles of King Wen", he said with anger: "Seventy miles, one hundred miles, you can still govern the world, and my country is three thousand miles!" How can you be able to smash Ma Yanyun and wash away the shame of your ancestors (referring to the chaos of Bingzi)"

It can be seen that Gaozong is not a person without great ambitions.

But after all, he is a teenager, and because the monarch of the courtyard is busy with government affairs and is not strictly controlled, he pampered a palace maid who is 4 years older than him - Li Shun'e, and messes with her every day, but this girl did not become a princess after all, because the Korean royal family stipulates that the Li family is not allowed to be called a concubine.

In March of the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), under the manipulation of Daewonjun, the 15-year-old Gaozong held an unprecedented grand wedding.

And his bride was none other than Min, a relative of Gaozong's mother's family. It turned out that in order to prevent the repetition of the history of the dictatorship of his relatives, Dayuanjun specially found his wife's relative, a poor girl Min who lost her father at a young age, as the princess of Neiding.

Calculated carefully, the Min family is a relative of Gaozong's aunt generation.

But this is nothing in the eyes of the lord of the courtyard, who practices iron-fisted politics, because he thinks that in this way, he will eliminate the hidden danger of the dictatorship of his relatives once and for all, and at the same time make himself a clan relative and a national relative, which is really a clever move to consolidate his power.

Min is the so-called Concubine Min in history, known as "Queen Mingcheng".

As a political marriage arranged by his biological father, Gaozong didn't care about Concubine Min at all, and actually snubbed her. Gaozong was still obsessed with women, and he even gave birth to a son with Li Shun'e in the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868), namely Wanhejun Li Yuan.

However, Dayuanjun's wishful thinking was not accurate. One of his chess pieces, Concubine Min, like her father-in-law Dayuanjun, is a woman full of power lust and ambition, and at the same time proficient in political power.

Although Concubine Min was left out in the cold, she read all the books in the palace, especially ancient Chinese historical works such as "Zuo Chuan"!

At the same time, a solid defense does not let people find what she is wrong with!

Queen Min knew that as long as she stayed by Li Xi's side, she would have the opportunity to gradually get involved in politics.

Among the three who were silent at this time, Young Master Meng didn't know what the king of North Korea Li Xi was thinking, in fact, Li Xi didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to go back quickly and circle with Li Shun'e of the Shanggong who he secretly favored, and there was no political action, and the government was completely controlled by his biological father, Li Yuying, the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard, and Li Xi was currently completely a puppet.

Min Cijin, Queen Min, keenly felt that maybe this kid was an opportunity!

For North Korea, the governor of Liaoning is definitely not a small person, Min Queen Min Cijin and Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying have different political views, Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying should be completely closed, closed off from the country, and there is no way to interfere in politics Min Cijin's private political proposition is to actively learn from the outside world, learn science and technology, learn military, and strengthen the country.

Even if we can't get in touch with Western countries right away, we should have as much contact with the Qing as possible and strengthen trade and exchanges.

Min Cijin, Queen Min, stared at Young Master Meng very curiously, why can a two-year-old child be so smart, he can talk like an adult, and he can even travel in a private name on behalf of the Qing Kingdom, "If you have the opportunity, you are welcome to come to our palace as a guest, and we will definitely treat you well." ”

Young Master Meng nodded slightly, "Thank you, Queen, I'm afraid it's not very convenient, my grandfather is an important official of the Qing Kingdom, and it is inconvenient to go to places outside the Great Qing Kingdom, and I need to inform the imperial court, and this Asian company was founded by my grandfather in my name, I just don't want people to misunderstand, this is highly confidential, if it weren't for the king and queen, I wouldn't say it." ”

After Young Master Meng finished speaking, he looked at Queen Min Cijin intently, Young Master Meng felt that this woman was not simple, although she was not yet twenty years old, she seemed very calm, and Jiegege was completely two types, very mature.

Min Cijin, Queen Min, nodded, she also knew something about the local officials of the Qing State, the Qing State was similar to North Korea, and because the Qing Kingdom was too big, the local officials were all powerful factions, not to mention that the Qing Kingdom was so big, and Liaoning was so big, and the power held by the governor of Liaoning was really not smaller than that of the king of North Korea!

In this era, the strength of Liaoning alone will definitely surpass that of the whole of North Korea! Even the Qing Kingdom and North Korea were also uncivilized, but the Great Qing Kingdom was really the peak level of the feudal economy!

As long as there is a system to cooperate, bourgeois liberalization can actually start anywhere in the Great Qing Dynasty now!

This is because the economic strength of the Qing Dynasty already has the basis for bourgeois liberalization, and no matter how poor the place, there are large landlords who can afford to set up enterprises. And, not one or two, it's a group! Dense landlords spread throughout the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that the level of ideological enlightenment in the Great Qing Kingdom is not enough, mainly because the literacy rate is limited, and the literacy rate of the Great Qing Kingdom at this time is less than one percent.

However, the feudal ideological rule of the landlord class is too invincible, resulting in a very small number of people who realize the need to develop industry and science and technology, less than 1 in 10,000! This simply cannot lead the whole country and the whole society to embark on the road of enlightenment in a purposeful way.

In the original history, it was not until the founding of New China that the country embarked on the road of civilization, and it took more than ten years to be regarded as basically civilized.

Why did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom start from the southwest and quickly develop into a prairie fire?

Just because the Qing Dynasty had this kind of economic soil, and once the political forces in such a part of the southwest were loosened, it would cause a large-scale response from the entire rich Jiangnan region, but there was a problem with the line of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was only dressed in the cloak of bourgeois liberalization, and was still in the style of a feudal emperor in essence, and it was impossible to lead such a huge empire as the Great Qing Dynasty to embark on the road of bourgeois revolution.
