Daewonjun was the title of the person who became the king of the Joseon Dynasty when his son ascended the throne and became the king, but he did not get the throne. In modern international history, the term "Dayuanjun" usually refers to Xingxuan Dayuanjun.

After the death of Joseon Jejong in the second year of Tongji (1863), Lee Jae-hwang (Lee Myeong-bok), the son of Yi Yuying, was elected to the palace to inherit the throne as Gojong. Gaozong was only 12 years old when he ascended the throne, and he could not personally manage government affairs, so he was regent by Li Yuying and was named "Xingxuan Dayuan Jun". Because he was the only person in the Joseon Dynasty who was awarded the title of "Daewonjun" during his lifetime in the 500 years of the Joseon Dynasty, he was commonly known as "Daewonjun" and was honored as "Daewonjun", "Daewonjun" or "Guotaigong". Since it was popular in Korea at that time to refer to political dignitaries by their place of residence, Daewonjun lived in Unhyeon Palace, so he was directly called "Unhyeon" or "Unhyeon Palace".

In Yunxian Palace, Xingxuan Dayuan Jun walked into the dormitory accompanied by servants, and the 75-year-old Dayuan Jun looked far less old than his real age because of his good maintenance, but he looked with a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows.

"Let's all go outside and wait!" The courtyard lord commanded, with a hint of bitterness in his voice.

"Yes!" The servants answered and respectfully withdrew.

Dayuanjun sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, and slowly served it, the fragrance of tea lingered, but Dayuanjun at this time had no intention of tasting tea. Dayuanjun sighed helplessly, speaking of which, Dayuanjun can be regarded as weathered, since Gaozong ascended the throne, this is the third time that Dayuanjun has come to power.

The first time was when Gojong had just ascended the throne, when the king was young, and Daewonjun became regent as the king's biological father, which was the first time Daewonjun was in power, and it was also the longest time Daewonjun was in power.

In November of the twelfth year of Tongzhi (1873), Concubine Min, the princess of Gaozong, rejected the power of Dayuanjun and seized power on the grounds of "the king's pro-government". However, Dayuanjun, who was unwilling to fail, then took advantage of the peasant rebels of the "Renwu Army Rebellion" in June of the eighth year of Guangxu (1882) to drive away Concubine Min and seize the opportunity to seize power. But the good times did not last long, the second time to come to power Dayuanjun only 33 days in power, was rushed to quell the Qing army secretly captured to Tianjin, in Tianjin Dayuanjun saw Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang angrily denounced Dayuanjun is the culprit of the turmoil, and then Dayuanjun was taken to Baoding house arrest, three years later before being released back to China. And this time is the third time that Dayuanjun has come to power, but this time Dayuanjun was pushed to power by the Japanese Invaders, but Dayuanjun will not be grateful to the Japanese Kou, but always thinks about how to get rid of the control of the Japanese Invaders, but the North Korean country is small and the people are weak, and it is unrealistic to want to use the power of North Korea to drive away the Japanese Invaders, fortunately, the Qing Dynasty has not abandoned North Korea, and now the Qing Dynasty has declared war on the Japanese Emperor, and the Great Yuan Jun will pin all his hopes on the suzerainty of the Qing Dynasty, and only hope that the Qing army can win the war. In this way, Korea will also be protected from the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

Thinking of these courtyards, Jun couldn't help but feel bored for a while, sighed helplessly, put down the teacup, got up and walked to the bed. The moment he sat on the bed, Dayuanjun suddenly remembered something, reached out and touched it under the pillow, and couldn't help but show a hint of joy. Dayuanjun took out a note from under the pillow, unfolded it and read it carefully, couldn't help but wonder, read it carefully three or four times, and only after confirming that it was correct, he carefully put the note on the candlestick next to the bed and lit it, and after seeing the paper burned to ashes, Dayuanjun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Early the next morning, Quan Qizhun found Ren Chao, "The conditions are simple, so that the adults are wronged!" ”

Ren Chao smiled, "General Quan is polite, I am also a rough person, I don't pay so much attention, as long as there is a place to live, it is good!" ”

"My lord, you have done what you have done." Jeon Junjun smiled and said, "We have already conveyed your words to Lord Dayuan-kun. ”

"Yes!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction, now the key to the problem is on the courtyard Jun, if he can do it according to his own words, it will be easy to say, but if he ignores it, it will be troublesome, the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, Ren Chao can only do his best.

"Have you figured out the deployment of the Japanese army?" Ren Chao asked.

"Probably the situation has been clarified." Jeon clicked on the map, then took out a map and spread it on the table, it was a map of Seoul, but the map was marked in Korean. Quan Hyun Zhun pointed to the map and explained to Ren Chao in detail, the location of the Japanese army, the approximate strength of the troops, and the general situation of the Korean palace. "That is to say, in the city of Seoul, the strength of the Japanese army is about a thousand, and the maximum is not more than fifteen hundred!" Jeon Junjun finally concluded.

"Are there really just over a thousand?" Ren Chao asked suspiciously.

"Not bad! Originally, there were more than 2,000 people, but later a group of Japanese soldiers withdrew outside the city and stationed in the north of Seoul to guard against Pyongyang's heavenly soldiers. Quan Qizhun said with great certainty.

In fact, more than 1,000 people are already a lot, after all, the total strength of the Japanese army in Korea at this time is only a few thousand, and the latest batch of reinforcements has only just landed from Incheon, and most of the main forces of the Japanese army are deployed north of Seoul to prevent the main force of the Qing army in Pyongyang, and in Asan, the Japanese army in the Gongju area has also deployed more than 1,000 people to prevent the remnants of Ren Chao in Jeonju. The little devils suffered heavy losses in the first battle of Jiyongshan, but the little devils always believed that the main force of the Qing army in Pyongyang was the great enemy of the Japanese army, as for the small units of the Qing army under Ren Chao's department in Jeonju and the Donghak Party Righteous Army, the little devils were far from taking them as a threat, but they were temporarily unable to attack Jeonju, so they only sent more than 1,000 people to contain them.

"Good!" Ren Chao smiled and nodded, "Speaking of which, it's the first time I've come to Seoul, I don't know if General Quan has time to take me to appreciate the customs of Seoul, it's best to see the royal palace of your country!" ”

"What? Are you going to the royal palace? Quan Junzhun was startled and asked with a pair of bull's eyes.

"Haha, General Quan misunderstood! I just want to see the palace, but I didn't say I wanted to go in, we just walked around the palace, so there should be no problem, right? Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Whew!" Jeon Junjun patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, there's no problem." My lord, when are we going to get out of town? ”

"Things should be done this afternoon, and we can get out of here then!" Ren Chao patted Quan Junjun's shoulder and said with a smile.

"That's great!" Quan Qizhun was obviously relieved, to be honest, Quan Qizhun was really afraid of Ren Chao, this product actually had time to travel to Seoul, this was under the nose of the enemy!
