Chapter 871: The Eve of Crisis
Kim Ok-gyun made an oath about this, and at about the same time, Li Tuo, the prince of the Korean Kingdom in the deep palace, suddenly fought a cold war.
I remember the day when I canonized myself as the son of the Korean Kingdom, Li Tuo was led by his mother like a show-off, stepping step by step on the white marble steps. From a very young age, he knew that this palace did not welcome him, and the vast and vast space filled his entire field of vision coldly, and he thought of the disdain and pride that overflowed from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes of the royal father's courtyard and ministers, and the invisible distance between him and them. Li Tuo has been well-behaved since he was a child, and no one taught him, he just intuitively felt that the mildness and humility of a little cowardice could make their sharp arrogance nowhere to radiate.
As for his mother, he is just a carrier, carrying her sustenance, she seems to have no distance to dare to cross, no wind and waves dare not face it. His mother, Min Ziying, a woman from a poor background who was not very beautiful, once blinded his father and grandfather with her intelligence, gentleness and thoughtfulness, and made people fearful with her iron fist. Little Li Tuo remembered that the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were talking about their mother in private, and when they heard the sound of him approaching on the bluestone floor, they scattered and avoided it, so all he captured was the ominousness of vague words. Later, he couldn't even catch a word, and all of them were mercilessly punished by his mother. In this way, his mother dazzled freely and took him into Changdeokgung Palace to become the princess of the Joseon Kingdom.
I remember that day, the canonization ceremony was complicated and lengthy, but Xiao Li Tuo waited patiently...... On that day, the attendant flattered in surprise: "His Royal Highness Wang Shizi is very young, and he can be regarded as extremely cultivated!" There are very few children who can sit still in a ceremony like this......"
Later, he walked up to the brocade platform with his mother and accepted the title granted to him by the angels of the Great Qian Dynasty, and he glanced out of the corner of his eye. With a faint polite smile, the mother lifted her veil like a majestic statue, was she smiling at him? Before he could turn his face, the heavy white veil hung down again, and he glanced at it. I still can't see it really.
Many years later, Li Tuo and his brother Wan and Jun Li Yan practiced bows and arrows. In the dense woods, there are occasionally a few clear birdsongs, the water vapor after the rain is diffused in the forest, and a little cinnabar is faintly visible in the green tide. Without warning, with a "whoosh", an arrow broke through the wind with the bowstring that was released in an instant, accurately penetrating the cinnabar-coated leaves, and nailed firmly to the tree a few feet away.
Some soldiers had already run quickly. Carefully pulling out the feathered arrow, along with the leaves of the arrow, he respectfully held the arrow in both hands and knelt down to the crimson-robed young man. The young man took it and looked at it, and his excited look rippled on his heroic face: "Brother, brother, you see I shot again!" He looked at the young man who had drawn his bow and arrows a few paces away, and raised his feathered arrows. Shaking it naughtily to himself, the raindrops on the tips of the leaves dripping. The arrows are painted with cinnabar, and the leaves are like flames of victory.
"His Royal Highness Wanhe-kun's archery skills are really improving!" The thin old man in military uniform praised lightly, and then turned to the older black-haired young man on the other side, "But don't be discouraged by His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, practice archery, and avoid being distracted and impatient, you can try again later." ”
Li Tuo nodded. The little bow was lowered. The archery teacher thinks he is impatient? His long hair hung down from his thoughtful eyes...... He and his mother had been in Changdeokgung Palace for five years, and his mother soon discovered the estrangement between him and his father-in-law, so she consciously or unconsciously crowded out his father-in-law, like a bright red rose with thorns burning on the snow. But only Concubine Zhao and Li Shanggong lost to their mothers. She was as light as a feather in the eyes of her father-in-law, and the Yunxian Palace where he lived made her despise and fear; On a starless night, my mother wandered alone in the shadows of the trees, like a gorgeous net hunting for hollows in the void; Like the blood stains on the beautiful blue satin surface in the sandalwood box, it is beautiful and decadent. Such a mother frightened him. So when he was nine years old, he deliberately asked the palace maid to teach him the art of the room, and let her suck himself there, and did it for many days in a row, until he fell into a lifelong illness, because he had to find an excuse to alienate his mother, he wanted to escape, and to escape from his mother was to escape from despair.
Little Li Tuo behaved modestly and gently, so that he could survive in Changdeokgung Palace, instead of his mother's fierce ambitions. Everything was suspicious here, and some ministers occasionally came to see my father, who was always silent.
"The leaves have been chosen, please try to shoot another arrow with His Royal Highness." The voice of the archery teacher interrupted Li Tuo's thoughts, and he opened his bow steadily, as long as he didn't face his brother's black pupils, he knew what to do - there was no mistake. So the moment the arrow left the string, no one noticed, and he flicked the tail of the feather arrow with his middle finger.
The feather arrows grazed the target, the raindrops splashed, the tail feather brought a little cinnabar, and the sparring sergeant was full of regret. "Alas, my archery skills are indeed not as good as my brother's, and I need to practice more." He put away his bow and walked back, smiled apologetically at the teacher, and then turned to give his smug brother a grimace of shame.
Soon after his mother heard this, his brother disappeared from his sight forever.
Mother's methods have always been like this, domineering and aggressive.
When my mother was born, the Lee dynasty of Korea had been in power for 460 years, and it was a post-apocalyptic scene. Moreover, the royal family of the Li Dynasty at this time was so weak that they could not even give birth to a son. For 50 years, no crying babies were heard in the palace. This situation was seen by Li Shiying, a grandfather from the royal family, and he inevitably secretly calculated in his heart.
In that year, King Zhezong died, and there was no heir, and the throne was vacant. Li Shiying immediately showed his extraordinary colors, he secretly befriended various factions, frequently carried out covert activities, and finally made his own son, 12-year-old Li Xi, enter the unification. He was the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty. Therefore, Li Shiying naturally entered the regent of the court. According to the outstanding system of North Korea, the biological father of the king who entered the unification of the dynasty was called Dayuanjun, so he had the name of Xingxuanjun before, so people called Xingxuandayuanjun.
In fact, the formation of the Min family's relatives group was caused by Dayuanjun. When my father was 15 years old, he had been on the throne for three years, and he was at the age of marriage. According to the lessons of his relatives over the years, the ruling Dayuan Jun put forward the harsh conditions for the princess candidate, that is, his own family must be depressed, no relatives **** worries, and the candidate himself must be docile and virtuous, and have no heart to interfere in government affairs.
Looking around, his eyes were fixed on an orphan girl in the far branch of his wife's family. This girl is twenty-eight years old and is the daughter of Min Zhilu, the wife of the Min clan of Dayuanjun. The Min family was originally a wang family, but at this time it had declined. On September 25 of the Xinhai year of the lunar calendar, Min Zhilu got a daughter in a grass house with wind on all sides. This is his only daughter. When his daughter was 8 years old, Min Zhilu died in poverty. The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age. The lonely Min daughter was forced by life, and at a very young age, she went to several relatives in the capital to ask for help, and naturally had an unforgettable experience of the hot and cold world. This situation has created her ability to be clever and take things in stride. This is somewhat similar to Dayuan-kun, and it may also be the reason why she was chosen immediately after entering Dayuan-kun's field of vision. However, there is also a fateful ending that the two are incompatible with.
In March of the year of Bingyin in the lunar calendar, my father finally got married. The daughter of the Min family officially became the princess, she was 16 years old this year, and her father was 15 years old.
In the first three years of entering the palace, my mother strictly adhered to the etiquette of the mother of the country and did her best to be filial to her daughter-in-law, which was very satisfactory to her in-laws. But what disturbed her was that her little husband was a little respectful of her, and to another woman, Li Shanggong, showed a young man's enthusiasm for love, which soon crystallized: Li's son. This is the fourth month of the Wuchen year of the lunar calendar.
It was a heavy blow to the mother. A mother who is familiar with the stories of this dynasty. Every time I think of the women who fell victim to the palace conspiracy, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat. If you want to control your own destiny, you must have the power to decide your destiny in your own hands. For the sake of her own future, for the sake of her cowardly husband's throne, she must seize power. So she began to act quietly.
She organized her own people, quietly placed the children of the Min family in various yamen of the imperial court, and then won over the old subordinates of her grandfather's courtyard, and made friends with the Qing Dynasty to find Austrian aid. At that time, there were many people in the Confucian forest who were dissatisfied with the iron-fisted rule of Dayuanjun. For example, the famous giant Confucian Choi Yi-hyun and others often talk about the loss of the courtyard king. So the mother immediately instructed her relatives to make contact.
Such. Concubine Min, who was once regarded as a little girl in the harem by her grandfather's courtyard, organized a powerful opposition force without him noticing.
The mother finally got a child in the lunar calendar, she was very excited, thinking that there was a chance to take the concubine and clear the shadow on her head. She died three days after taking the medicine, which made her mother's expectations suddenly turn into smoke. She was in pain, and even more firmly believed that this was the deliberate action of her grandfather's compound, so she secretly gritted her teeth and was bent on revenge.
At this time, the Joseon Dynasty was experiencing unprecedented internal and external troubles. Natural disasters in the north. the flight of border people; The invasion of American armed merchant ships was burned, and they threatened to retaliate and sent ships to attack; The Germans infiltrated Korea in an unsuccessful attempt to dig up the grave of Daewonjun's father, Nam Yeon-kun; There are people who incite rebellion; The state granary caught fire and suffered heavy losses. What is even more dangerous is that after the Meiji Restoration, Japan expanded outward, and the "theory of conquering Korea" was very loud.
The mother thought that the conditions were ripe and began to attack. She first separated the father-son relationship between her father and her grandfather Dayuanjun, persuaded her 20-year-old father to come to the court, and then instigated the officials and ministers to impeach her grandfather Dayuanjun, setting off a strong wave of overthrowing Dayuanjun in the government and the opposition. Dayuanjun was overwhelmed by this sudden wave, and it was difficult to find a plausible reason to prevent the adult king from taking over the government, so he was forced to retire to the private residence of Yunxian Palace. In this way, the regime that Dayuanjun had painstakingly managed for ten years was suddenly subverted by his daughter-in-law, who was still a young woman. It was the year of the lunar calendar, and my mother was only 23 years old.
Her mother's opposition to her grandfather's courtyard was at first just to consolidate her position as the "middle temple" in order to protect herself, but in conspiracy politics, she tasted the thrill of strategizing and winning a thousand miles. Especially after Dayuanjun was forced to give up the regency, the cowardly husband could not bear the heavy responsibility of the king at all, and the power naturally fell into her hands. At this time, she began to truly realize that the power to command the whole country and kill and kill was really a good thing, so she was determined to defend power with power.
First of all, she cleaned up her ideology and theory, and comprehensively repudiated the various domestic and foreign policies that Dayuanjun had implemented for ten years. In order to undermine the prestige of the courtyard king, she deliberately did the opposite. Secondly, he rectified the organization, squeezed out the henchmen of Dayuanjun one by one, and even moved to kill.
At this time, the disasters in North Korea continued, and the internal contradictions gradually intensified, and some people believed that the frequent national disasters were still caused by their mother's bad governance, and they began to miss Daewon-kun, and plotted to support Daewon-jun's eldest son, Lee Jae-seon, depose his father, and make Daewon-jun return to power. They scheduled the beginning of the lunar calendar, but they were still in the preparatory stage, and when they discovered their mother, the concubine began to search and suppress them. More than 30 ringleaders were ambushed, and Li Zaixian committed suicide because he was the king's brother. In the crackdown that lasted for more than two months, the mother killed two birds with one stone, and took the opportunity to hunt down and dismiss the remnants of the Dayuanjun and eliminate the **********.
In the year of Renwu, there was a great drought in North Korea, and people's hearts fluctuated. There was an uprising by the military. Dayuanjun took advantage of the situation to cause the righteous soldiers to point the finger at the Min family's foreign relatives group, attack the Qi family's house, execute the leader of the council (Shoufu) Li Ziying, and rush into the palace to search for his mother. Seeing that the situation was not good, the astute mother immediately disguised herself as a palace maid and fled. Take refuge in Chungju. Due to the departure of his mother, the surname Zhu Min was killed, and the North Korean regime was paralyzed, so my father had to ask his grandfather Daewonjun to take charge of the government, and Daewonjun came to power for the second time.
After the return of Dayuanjun in power, he immediately reorganized the army and government, restored the old system, eliminated the forces of his mother's family from all important positions, and established a ruling body centered on him. In order to prevent the resurgence of the Min family's foreign relatives group, Dayuanjun announced that his mother had died in the rebellion. and took great pains to hold a grand state funeral for his mother.
The turmoil in Korea provided a pretext for foreign forces to intervene, first uninvited Japanese troops, and then a large army of land and sea from Qianguo followed.
My mother didn't know how to use it, but she got the support of the Qianguo people, and the Qianguo army quickly quelled the rebellion and restored my father's position of power -- in fact, it was my mother's position.
But the mother seems to have miscalculated this time, and on this very day, the legend has it that the half-brother Wan and Jun Li Yan have died. appeared in front of her again, and was protected by the Qianguo people.
It seems to know the mother's mind. Probably in order to make his mother have some scruples in the future, the Qianguo people actually took his brother Li Yan away, and I heard that he went to Beijing and became the companion of the young emperor of the Great Qian.
Since that day, my mother has been restless.
In order to deal with the Qianguo people, my mother actually chose the "Enlightenment faction" with close ties with Japan as Austrian aid. After the Qi clan returned to power. Mother arranged for many civilized figures to enter the court.
