The night gradually deepened, and everything in the middle and back fell into silence. There were only a few lights swaying in the cold wind up and down the city. It was already two layers of sky hundreds of miles away from the capital. It is okay to wear two layers of clothes in the capital, but in this mountain
But they have to be wrapped in cotton clothes or even fur cloaks.
Chang Yu was worried. He lit a lamp and meditated for a long time without feeling sleepy. When he opened the window, a cold wind hit his face and he couldn't help but shiver. This was an inn close to the military camp. It was said to be the best inn in the city, but it was nothing.
What a beautiful scenery. Looking up at the city and looking down at the military camp, the few firelights look extremely lonely.
The door of the inn was heavily guarded. Kuang Ren led dozens of personal guards on duty. Two hundred households were beside him with compliments on their faces, and they were begging for something in a low voice. These two hundred households were not his subordinates, but the garrison of the Central Rear Office.
.
The Zhonghou Station is a Qianhu Station, and as the name suggests, the number of officers stationed there are Qianhu Station. However, that was back then, and now this dilapidated place is in the ascendant. There are only more than 300 troops stationed there, and the top officers are only two Baihu Stations.
As for why these two hundred people stayed up late at night and crouched outside the inn, there is no need to say more. In fact, this was the third time for them to come. After learning what their men had done, they hurriedly went to the inn to plead guilty.
Kuang Ren stopped him. This kind of little loser had no right to see the big eunuch and didn't even have a chance to plead guilty. However, Kuang Ren still kindly reminded them that the person you offended was in another inn. If you really offended the big eunuch, you would have done it earlier.
All dead.
The two of them hurriedly went to Li Guo's inn to confess, but Li Guo didn't come forward and was sent away by Song Xiance. The two of them were panic-stricken and went to Kuang Ren for help. Kuang Ren beat them and let them go.
Leave.
Unexpectedly, the two of them came again, this time to thank Kuang Ren. To put it bluntly, they wanted to take the opportunity to build relationships.
Kuang Ren is also a well-rounded person. He can be more ruthless than anyone else when he should be ruthless, but he also pays special attention to keeping a safe distance so that we can meet each other in the future. Although he is not ashamed of the unspoken rules of Zhonghou Institute, such unspoken rules can be seen everywhere.
It cannot be said that the garrison at the Zhonghou Institute committed a heinous crime that was unforgivable, so they just beat them up. He believed that after this incident was over, the atmosphere of the Zhonghou Institute would be drastically changed.
Chang Yu didn't expect that he would suffer from insomnia today, but he never thought that someone thousands of miles away in Changdeokgung Palace would also suffer from insomnia. To be precise, insomnia was this person's old problem. He had never had a good night's sleep in his life.
Changdeokgung Palace is the royal palace of North Korea, and yes, this person is the current king of North Korea, Yi Gu.
Some people may be curious and ask, isn’t the Royal Palace of North Korea Gyeongbokgung Palace? When I traveled to South Korea, it was Gyeongbokgung Palace that I visited.
The Royal Palace of Joseon has five major palaces. The Gyeongbokgung Palace you mentioned is the North Palace, also called the North Palace. It was indeed the main palace of Joseon before. However, during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, that is, when Japan attacked Korea, it was destroyed by the Korean rebels.
After the fire was burned, the king of Joseon used Changdeokgung Palace as the main palace, with the front as the court and the back as his sleeping area.
The Royal Palace of Joseon was built according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty princes, but its scale is simply incomparable to the palaces of the princes of the Ming Dynasty. Even the side courtyards of the princes' homes are larger and more luxurious than his. The reason is very simple. Joseon is very self-aware.
I am a godson, not my biological son. Secondly, North Korea is very poor and does not have the financial resources to carry out such a large siege. Thirdly, North Korea is an island country with strong sea winds, so the buildings are relatively low.
But why is it said that the king of North Korea, Li Jian, suffered from insomnia?
It can only be said that this child's life was too hard. Later generations think that Emperor Chongzhen's life was miserable. He was responsible for natural and man-made disasters that had not happened in hundreds of years and thousands of years. Little did they know that this child Li Zhu had a miserable life.
Although he was loved by his grandfather Xuanzong when he was born, his uncle was the crown prince. After he became the king, he wanted to kill his family in order to consolidate his power and purge his political opponents. His younger brother was killed by a conspiracy to rebel, so during that time
He lived in fear, and later his cousin rebelled and made him king, which was also known as King Injo in history.
After becoming a king, life should be comfortable, right?
If you think too much, let’s take a look at how troubled Li Zhu was during his time as king.
Let’s talk about external factors first. After he ascended the throne, he experienced two random chaos, that is, two invasions by the Qing army. The first time he sued for peace before reaching the capital and became a brother country, and the second time he crushed it directly to the capital city.
He had no way to leave the city and surrendered and recognized his godfather. These two foreign invasions completely turned North Korea into a slave of the Manchus, which also caused his character and reputation to collapse. After all, Injo's name was to support the Ming Dynasty and Pai Jin.
Now you are actually bowing down to the Qing Dynasty and asking for peace and recognizing the traitor as your father. The people and some ministers are very disappointed and very angry.
I want to say here that although South Korea is anti-China in many ways now, in North Korea at that time, everyone from ordinary people to ministers to kings were very close to the Ming Dynasty. It was natural for them to think that I was their child, that is, my father, regardless of my relatives.
It's dad who still does it.
Therefore, after Ding Mao's chaos, that is, after the first invasion of Hou Jin Dynasty, rebellion plots in Korea emerged one after another. In the seventh year of Apocalypse (1627), Li Inju launched an army in Gangwon Province, and in the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Liu Xiaoli and others wanted to establish Inseong.
In the fifth year of Chongzhen (1632), Liu Yingping conspired to rebel. In the sixth year of Chongzhen (1633), Li Shi said that he wanted to establish Jinyuan Order Li Zhuo. In the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), Li Ji'an rebelled. In the fourth year of Chongde (1635),
The curse incident of Princess Zhenming and her palace servants in 1639, the treason incident of Li Tinghai in the eighth year of Chongde (1643), the hero Shen Qiyuan wanted to establish Huai'enjun in the first year of Shunzhi (1644), and even in the third year of Shunzhi (1646)
The Kang Concubine Curse Incident and Ahn Ik-shin's Rebellion in 2010, etc., can be said to be the most frequent period of rebellion in the history of the Joseon Dynasty. These rebellions were basically killed by Injo before they happened. Among them, Injo
He may have poisoned his son Prince Zhaohyun, and despite the opposition of most ministers, he insisted on going his own way. He personally ordered the death of his daughter-in-law Jiang (the concubine Minhuai) and exiled his three grandsons (sons of Prince Zhaohyeon) to Jeju Island.
, let it fend for itself.
What we are saying is that on average, there is a rebellion once every one or two years. How is this different from the situation of Emperor Chongzhen? They were both internal and external troubles, and they were both pinned to the ground and rubbed by the Qing army. The difference is that in North Korea, all the rebels were ministers, princes or generals.
The Ming Dynasty rebelled, but it was the two domestic thieves who caused trouble, and the Qing army occupied the land thousands of miles outside the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea had fallen completely. They were pressed on their heads and called father. It can be said that Li Zhu and Chongzhen were really brothers and sisters in that era.
.
It's just that although North Korea recognized the Manchu Qing Dynasty as its suzerainty at this time, and Li Jian was misunderstood by the people, in fact, Li Jian had always been pro-Ming, and the reason why he knelt down and surrendered to the Manchu Qing was actually because he was forced to do so.
Back then, Huang Taiji's 100,000-strong army was invincible and marched to the city walls. He had to either surrender or die. What did you ask him to do? Surrender or not, or die, North Korea was destined to fall. It would be better to live and still have a chance.
Yes, there is still a chance if you are alive, and Li Zhu has always had illusions about Daming's father. After all, the little devil bullied him before, and Daming's father came to support him, but this time it was because Daming's father was unwell. Once raised,
After I recover from my illness, I will definitely come and vent my anger on my dear brother.
So on the surface Li Zhu recognized the thief as his father, but in his heart he only had one father, and that was Daming!
