Wanli Xinming

Chapter 284
Compared with Xiyi, which let a bunch of idlers watch the excitement of visitors from the East like Xu Guangqi, the countries in the East that have been baptized by Chinese civilization are different-on the eighth day of September in the 12th year of Wanli, outside the Guanghua Gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, a large guard of honor welcomes them At the scene of the foreign envoys, there were no idlers, and there were only solemn and grand scenes.

Gyeongbokgung Palace got its name from the word "Jingfu" in the "Book of Songs", "A gentleman for ten thousand years, Jieer Jingfu".As a vassal royal palace, its area and regulations strictly follow the suzerain-vassal relationship with the suzerain state, the Ming Dynasty. It is a county and king's mansion regulated by the prince. It is built according to the system of the royal palace in the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial censor, Jia Sanjin, who often goes to and from the Forbidden City, looked up at the palace wall of Gyeongbokgung Palace under the Guanghua Gate, and felt that it was not much higher than his own wall.When he saw Li Chao, who was standing solemnly, outside the palace gate, the civil and martial arts of the court, a dark and refreshing feeling came to him.Because he got the face that the imperial court sent an envoy to not get before - the one who bowed to accompany him was the "prime minister" of the Li Dynasty, who led the political affairs Liu Chenglong.

North Korea also has a yamen similar to the Ministry of Rites, but the vassal cannot be called a ministry, but can only be called Cao. For North Korea as a whole, the significance is too great.

In order to solve the "crisis" that appeared in Daming, which was not an economic crisis, Zhu Yijun sent a decree to ask North Korea to exempt all tariffs on imported goods from Daming - to be honest, this is a bit particularly bullying for honest people.

Not to mention that Li Chao had already confessed Daming as his own father, and he didn't talk about the bunch of unnamed beauties he sent to Zhu Yijun. Just looking at Li Ye's attitude toward Zhu Yijun, he couldn't choose.

From the first year of Wanli, whenever there was a big or small event in Ming Dynasty, Li Yan would send at least ten envoys, and sometimes more than 30 envoys to Daming to participate in various activities—just one meal, and the rest would be brought with him. Give various souvenirs.Various ideological reports such as worship and congratulations, one after another, made the imperial court set up a special department to deal with North Korea's affairs.

This attitude of the Li Dynasty, of course, can be favored by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.In Zhu Yijun's plan to dominate the world, Li's North Korea was also not levied.Even if North Korea cried out for annexation, Zhu Yijun didn't want it - at most, he wanted some islands for the navy to dock.

why?Zhu Yijun has to show a good example to all the countries in the world. As long as you are obedient from the bottom of your heart, I will not take you with me.Although Li Chao is the closest to Daming, I don't want it, or give it to me for nothing.

There is another advantage—no matter how far China develops in this time and space, the independent existence of North Korea will be irrefutable proof that China has been a peace-loving country since ancient times, and there is no aggression in the civilizational gene of the Chinese nation. and colonial existence.

As for why Jia Sanjin, an imperial envoy, received such courteous treatment, it was because after Zhu Yijun bullied North Korea, he felt embarrassed and finally gave North Korea what he hadn’t received for more than 200 years—the book "Da Ming Dynasty" that marked the results of the family lineage defamation. Canon".

Liu Chenglong, the leader of the government, knew too much about the weight of this thing. At that time, after the North Korean envoy Li Youzhi in the capital sent the news back, he sent North Korea up and down, inside the palace and outside the palace - let's just say, all those who have received Confucian education will be rectified. Cried.

King Li Ye said at the time that the idea of ​​exempting import tariffs would not be enough. Besides, our vassals should not have received the tariffs of Ming Dynasty!No, we have to say - oops, it's a pity I didn't give birth to a princess.Your granddaughter, please send a few.

Liu Chenglong also communicated with tears and tears, thinking that his granddaughter is a little old, or let's do a draft in North Korea.China has everything, and we can express our sincere gratitude, only this idea is a native product.

Why is North Korea so excited, and what is "lineage debate"?It's a long story, but the cauldron was left by the great ancestor: when the emperor proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, the country on the Korean peninsula was still Goryeo.

Under the great change of Yuan Dynasty and Mingxing, the Goryeo Dynasty faced a major decision to replace Yuan and Mingxing.After the emperor ascended the throne, he sent an envoy to give the seal book, and Goryeo accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and enshrined it in Ming Zhengshuo.However, not long after, Li Renren, a representative of the pro-Yuan faction in Goryeo, killed Wang Zhuan and established Xinzhen as the king. Later, he asked the Ming Dynasty for the posthumous title of Wang Zhuan, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Taizu: "Zuan has been killed for a long time, and this is the first time to ask for the posthumous title. , to fake my dynasty's orders, to appease its people, and to cover up the traces of its rebellious murder, it is not allowed."

However, there was still a careerist in the Goryeo court at this time, Li Chenggui.After Xin Jin ascended the throne, Li Renren and other pro-Yuan forces expanded, suspended the Hongwu era name, restored the Yuan Dynasty crown uniform, and ordered Cui Ying and Li Chenggui to lead the army to attack Liaodong, but Li Chenggui clearly recognized the situation: "If you commit the state of the kingdom, you will be convicted of the emperor. , the disaster is imminent, and it is urgent to eliminate the evil on your side, so as to bring peace to life.”

Under the response of the generals, Li Chenggui returned to attack the king's city, imprisoned Cui Ying, deposed Xin Yu, made Xinchang and Wang Yao successively kings, and Li Chenggui took control of the power of Goryeo.In the 25th year of Hongwu, Li Chenggui abolished Wang Yao and killed him instead. He changed his surname to revolution and established the Joseon Dynasty.

It stands to reason that Li Chenggui killed the pro-Yuan faction and worshipped Ming Taizu as his eldest brother. Taizu should be happy.However, Taizu was a man of great talent and strategy, and he had a strong grasp of the essence of the country's diplomatic issues.

Therefore, in April of the 27th year of Hongwu (1394), Huang Yongqi, an internal historian sent by Taizu, went to North Korea and threatened Li Chenggui in the "Words of Consecration to the Gods of Haiyue, Mountains and Rivers": The person who is named so... Now, looking at Li's actions, it seems that he was not ordered by the emperor to rule over the people... If he insults him endlessly, he will ask the teacher who is guilty, and he will definitely do it."

This decree directly stated that Li Chenggui was the son of Li Renren, who killed King Zhuan of Goryeo. Li Chenggui was stunned after hearing it.

He hurriedly put on the table and said, Li Renren was killed by me!He is not my father. Your old man is a little far away in Nanjing. How do you say that? Li Renren is really not my father.

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang always paid attention to the situation in the north, how could he not know that Li Chenggui and Li Renren were not related by blood.But the emperor of a great country is domineering, and he said that it is you. In this way, there is a problem with the legitimacy of the North Korea established by Li Chenggui. The first emperor was a bastard who murdered his father and murdered his monarch.

Then Li Chenggui applied to the state to give him a set of robes for the king of the county, and issued a golden seal as the seal of the king, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not give it, and left this paragraph in the emperor's ancestral instruction:

"Korea, Li Renren and his son Chenggui who are now famous, from the sixth year of Hongwu to the 28th year of Hongwu, all the four kings of the Wang family were killed first and last, and they were treated with care."

It means that Li Renren and Li Chenggui are not authentic people. They have killed the four kings of Goryeo successively. Let him wait for the golden seal to be awarded - Gu treat it.

And what is even more terrifying is that there is such a paragraph in the ancestral instruction of the emperor made by Zhu Yuanzhang: "All my descendants, I will obey my orders, and I will not be clever, and I will mess with my established methods.

In this way, Ming Taizu determined the origin of Li Chenggui and the killing of the four kings of Goryeo through the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun". The right to interpret the legitimacy of the lineage of royal power in later generations is in the hands of Daming.

Since the founding of the country, Li Chenggui has focused on compiling history to establish his own legitimacy, which was also imitated by subsequent kings of the Li Dynasty.However, as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, the "clan" issue of Li Chenggui's origin and the "notoriety" of killing the four kings are recorded in the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", a document of constitutional status, and it will be impossible for North Korea to rectify—— As a result, for more than 200 years, North Korea has been diligently requesting the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to patch the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" "clan defense and falsehood" action.

Chengzu obtained the throne through the "Battle of Jingnan". When the domestic people's hearts were unstable, "the newly ascended the throne, the princes in the world did not have a dynasty. The independent Korea sent the emperor to congratulate him, and the emperor praised his loyalty, so he was honored." The decree: "The king of Joseon said, it is not after Li Renren, I think it is worse than the previous legend, let him correct it." Well, let's correct it first, you Li Chenggui is not Li Renren's son.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang had already warned the descendants of future generations that "one word cannot be changed" in the content of the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun". Daming can only make changes to this matter in other books.

During the Yingzong period, the imperial court completed the "Da Ming Yi Tong Zhi", and at the request of North Korea, further changes were made to Li Chenggui's lineage and the issue of founding the country: "(Hongwu) 25 years, the master Yao was in a coma, and the servant Li Chenggui was pushed to the door. State affairs, the edict follows its own voice and teaching. Chenggui changed his name to Dan, moved to Seoul, and sent envoys to please change the country name, and the imperial edict changed the name to North Korea." The matter of Li Chenggui's murder of the king was also corrected.

However, including Chengzu, the emperors of all dynasties were tied together, and they dared not touch a single hair of the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", and "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" had the highest status, so after a few years, when it came to Zhengde, "Da Ming Zu Xun" was revised. Meeting Code", this matter was turned out again, and North Korea vomited blood again.

Until Zhu Yijun sent Jia Sanjin, for more than 70 years, North Korea spent a lot of energy and financial resources on "clan defense" around "Da Ming Hui Dian", which went through the four dynasties of Joseon King Jongjong, Injong, Mingzong, and Xuanjo!
In the 13th year of Zhengde, the North Korean envoy Li Jimeng returned from the capital and reported that the "Da Ming Hui Dian" still continued the relevant records of Li Chenggui's lineage and the killing of the four kings in the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun". All the ministers discussed this matter, and all the ministers agreed that "the record in the "Hui Dian" is so wrong, is it only the holy heart that hurts? The pain and anger of the ministers and common people of a hundred generations...It is not true, but it is notorious and spreads all over the world. heartbroken", all expressed that envoys must be sent to defend the false accusations.

Immediately, North Korea sent a memorial with Nangon as the main envoy and Li Wei as the deputy envoy to Beijing to plead the false accusation.
"This minister has now heard that what is recorded in the "Da Ming Hui Dian" is not only the fact that the lineage has not been corrected, but also the notoriety that our ancestors did not have. The subjects of a country are in a panic... Looking down at the mercy of the saints, and obeying the orders of the previous emperors, Xu Xu It is true that the legend is wrong, the family of the ministers has their ancestors, and the former ministers are also injustice, which is very fortunate."

In this regard, Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, after seeing the Korean memorial and the suggestion of the Ministry of Rites, issued a decree to the King of Korea: "After Erzu Li Chenggui was not appointed by Li Ren, Emperor Taizong Wen has issued a decree, and the order is corrected, and now I have a memorial. Love, sincerity, filial piety, and filial piety. Specially allow the request, and send the imperial edict to my will, and I will accept it." Well, Wu Zong agreed to make corrections.

During the Zhengde period, the Korean envoys tended to correct them as soon as possible, so as to avoid the misrepresentation. Mao Cheng, the minister of Rites at that time, and others comforted them by saying that the records in the "Huidian" were strictly based on the ancestral teachings and could not be revised, but the "Huidian" could be added at any time. If it is damaged, it will be rebuilt soon, and it will definitely be corrected according to this imperial edict.

In the eighth year of Jiajing, North Korea learned from its envoy Li Peng that the Ming Dynasty was going to revise the "Daming Huidian", thinking that this was a good opportunity to argue and correct the mistakes of the "Huidian", so they sent Liu Pu and Li Han, an envoy to congratulate them. He went to Beijing again to negotiate on the lineage dispute in the "Da Ming Hui Dian".

King Sejong's decree to the Ministry of Rites: "It is a matter of the lineage of the country presented by the accomplices of the state of Korea. Since the decree of the ancestor's dynasty has been complied with, the Ministry will conduct a thorough investigation, prepare the details, and send it to the historical museum for implementation."

In fact, although Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty paid great attention to North Korea's request and formally ordered the History Museum to change, but like Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, it was just an empty promise, because the Jiajing Dynasty also took a lot of trouble to rebuild the "Daming Huidian". issue.However, North Korea wholeheartedly regarded this as a major task with a long way to go, and unremittingly sent special envoys to inquire about the progress of the Ming Dynasty's restoration of the "Daming Huidian" in the 16th, 18th, 36th, and 42nd years of Jiajing.

Until Zhu Yijun came to this time and space, King Li Ye of Joseon took advantage of the opportunity that the emperor had just ascended the throne to refresh the government and sent an envoy to Beijing to defend the "lineage" and "notoriety" of the "Daming Huidian".

However, the "Da Ming Huidian" has not yet been completed, and Zhang Juzheng can only promise to make corrections in the book as always. However, this time, what has made progress in the past is that Zhang Juzheng promised to write the North Korean front and back debates and false accusations into the newly revised record. , in order to be adopted when compiling the "Daming Huidian" later.

From then on, Li Yan firmly seized every opportunity to pay tribute, and sent special deception envoys to remind and urge them in the second, third, fifth, ninth, and 12th years of Wanli respectively, and implored the publication of the official title as soon as possible. This time, Zhu Yijun finally sent an imperial envoy, Jia Sanjin, to award a copy of the lineage and notoriety correction of the "Daming Huidian" published in North Korea.

Just this booklet made North Korea grateful to the bones.King Li Ting said:

"Today it has been snowing for hundreds of years and it is painful, so that the ancestors have no fathers but have fathers, and there are no kings but kings. At first, they became human beings, Yi Lun was reborn, East Korea was recreated, and the ancestors were in the spirit of the sky. What do you think? I can have a speech. ." The awarding of this pamphlet is regarded as "reconstructing East Korea". [Note 1]
Liu Chenglong said: "From the top to the sages, to the ministers and concubines, I have held grievances and mourned for 200 years. Looking at the new collection of treasures and the reconstruction of Eastern Korea, it is nothing more than filial piety from the top, and the sincerity of the matter." Well, If we hadn't been serving our fathers for more than 200 years, "serving the ancestors and being filial, and doing things with great sincerity", how could "Da Ming Hui Dian" be published in North Korea?
This made Zhu Yijun feel embarrassed. He asked Zhang Juzheng, "Sir, does this mean we have lost a means of controlling North Korea?"

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, we won't compile anything other than "Da Ming Huidian"? As long as we compile a formal history, he has to ask us, the minister, to read the title of "The Emperor Ming Dazheng Ji"!"

　【Note 1】: These are all true events in history. The Emperor Wanli awarded the original edition of the "Da Ming Huidian", which moved Li Chao and ruined it.

　　Also: I seem to have done something stupid that offended a lot of people.In fact, this is the case: Lao Mo just finished working overtime at 11 o'clock, and quickly wrote for 10 minutes and found that it was not enough to post, but Lao Mo didn't want to stop updating at the beginning of this month, so he remembered his friend's "anti-piracy" suggestion.I am sincerely sorry for bringing you a very poor reading experience!
　　In fact, in the past July, Lao Mo stayed up for almost fifteen days, including today.Because work is work, and novels are novels. When the two cannot be balanced, the only way to do it is to do it late at night.The reason for this hard work is for the sake of--to gain your sympathy, and forgive my stupid behavior just now.Sorry again.
