Li Tuo is not the eldest son, and Min Fei made great efforts to make Li Jue be posthumously named Chu Jun, and ruled out the possibility that Li Shanggong Wan Hejun's 6-year-old son was posthumously named. According to the custom at that time, North Korea's knighthood needed the favor of the suzerain country China, so Min Fei sent envoys to Beijing to exercise Li Hongzhang and other Qing court dignitaries, which took more than a year and cost millions, and finally achieved the goal. This happened in 1875, and Li Di was 2 years old. Just this year, the Japanese warship Yunyang invaded North Korea, and the North Korean gate was blasted. This seems to be another sinister intention.
When Li Mao was 26438+0 years old, her biological mother Min Fei was killed by Japanese thugs. For months, it was difficult for him to wake up from this tragic change. His eyes always repeat the bloody picture, so that he often cries like a child for no reason and keeps calling out for his mother. At this time, all the maids around me were in tears. Since then, his temperament has changed a lot.
1896 In February, Emperor Gaozong, who was bullied by the Japanese, hid in the Russian Embassy in North Korea, and Li Di, 22, accompanied him as a prince. During his one-year stay in the Russian Pavilion, he witnessed the life-and-death struggle between pro-Japanese and pro-Russian factions in North Korea, and the ministers of various factions "sang me on stage" was like a lantern. At this time, although Li Mao was quiet and rarely involved in government affairs, his position and identity determined that it was extremely difficult for him to get rid of political intrigue and harm. Shortly after Emperor Gaozong returned to the palace, a "tea poisoning incident" occurred, and Li Jue was poisoned to the ground by pro-Russian gold. Although he survived after being rescued, he broke two front teeth when he fell to the ground, and the poison permanently damaged his brain, nerves and body, making him weak for life and unable to have children. Therefore, after he acceded to the throne, he had to let his younger brother Prince Li Yin be Wang Shizi.
1897, 10, Emperor Gaozong announced that he would change his country name to "Korean Empire", and he was the emperor's position, and Emperor Li was also upgraded from Wang Shizi to Crown Prince. 1905165438+1October, Japan forced North Korea to sign the Second Protection Treaty. The fall of the country was another great stimulus to Li Mao.
1907 After the envoy incident in The Hague in June, Japanese Governor Ito Bowen and Korean traitor Li Wanyong forced Emperor Gaozong to abdicate, but Emperor Gaozong had no choice but to issue an imperial edict in July of 18, announcing that "Crown Prince" Li Di was regent. However, the Japanese government insisted on tampering with the imperial edict, saying that the "Regent" gave way. As a result, Li Mao was at a loss, even he didn't know whether he was the Regent or the Emperor. However, Li Yong did not encounter any problems in the face of this huge difference in the future. Anyway, the Japanese just regard him as a puppet and won't let him do anything substantial. He lives in the palace in name only.
On the sixth day after Li Mao ascended the throne, that is,1July 24, 907, Japan imposed the Japan-Korea Agreement on North Korea, which stipulated that the Japanese governor-general had supreme power in North Korea, and under his guidance, it reformed the official system of North Korea, stipulating that every North Korean official must be accompanied by a Japanese official and implement "sub-official politics". In this way, more than a year later, by June 1909 1, there were 2,480 Japanese in important positions at all levels of government in North Korea. At this time, it was not only Li Yong of Changdeok Palace who was driven away, but also North Korean officials at all levels.
Han jun has always been a heart disease in Japan. Ito Bowen is determined to solve it completely. 1In August, 907, he officially announced the dissolution of the North Korean army in the name of "army reorganization" (in fact, under various excuses of Japan's abandonment of the army, the North Korean army was only 9,000 at this time). In this way, North Korea will become a country without an army. In this regard, Li Wei has no choice.
In May this year, Japan appointed Terauchi Masatake, Minister of the Army, as the new governor of Japan. The first thing he did was to transfer two Japanese divisions to North Korea, and set up a gendarmerie composed of 22,000 Japanese to put North Korea under strict military and police control. Terauchi Masatake's move is to implement a big plan formally decided by the Japanese government as early as July 1909, that is, to formally annex North Korea at an "appropriate time".
19 10 In August, Japan thought the timing was "appropriate". On June 6th, 65438, Terauchi Masatake called pro-Japanese Li Wanyong and Zhao Zhong to his office to discuss the specific plan of "Japan-South Korea merger". Actually don't need to discuss, Li Wanyong took out a plan from the temple. Two days later, as the Prime Minister of North Korea, Li Wanyong submitted a plan to end the government's life to his own government. In order to make things look more legal, a "command meeting" attended by Chunzong Li Yi was held on the 22nd. Of course, this kind of meeting is also a meeting without discussion, and the terms set by the Japanese cannot be modified. As a result, a national subjugation document named "Korea-Japan Merger Treaty" was "successfully passed".
After signing this national subjugation treaty, Li Wanyong notified the foreign countries concerned on 23rd, but it was officially announced on 29th August a week later and took effect immediately.
In this way, the Korean dynasty established by Li Chenggui came to an end in 5 19, and both the dynasty and the country perished at the same time. Chun Li Zongming, a weak and troubled king, was more or less innocently nailed to the throne of the king of national subjugation forever.
After the national subjugation, Li Mao and his family, as well as 76 distinguished ministers who made contributions in this unprecedented traitorous action, were rewarded by Japan, and received titles, bonuses and annual fees to become new noble. Li Mao's title was reduced from "Your Majesty" to "Li Wang", and he received considerable living expenses from the Japanese every year, continuing to maintain a seemingly imperial life. However, he has no power, not even the furniture arrangement in his bedroom. According to Japanese regulations, that is the power of Li Wangzhi, the newly established Korean royal affairs management organization, and the head of Li Wangzhi was appointed by the Japanese.
At this time, Junzong still lived in Changde Palace, but his activities were strictly restricted like a caged bird. Except for his bedroom, he built a temple, and everything else was forbidden. Japan banned him and his senior ministers from going to the outer hall where they used to go to the DPRK, because they were not needed to participate in the "discussion" about North Korea at this time.
Li Mao can rest completely. He has no country to govern, no politics to govern, hiding in the secret garden of the deep palace and silently chanting "The small building was easterly again last night." 19 17, a fire in changde palace destroyed most of his "small buildings", while Japanese people with ulterior motives forcibly demolished gyeongbokgung palace on the grounds that it needed wood to repair changde palace, and demolished more than 4,000 rooms in succession. It turned out that the Japanese listened to the idea of some Feng Shui masters, and in order to rule North Korea forever, they deliberately destroyed its palaces, broke its "Long Mai" and broke its "kingly way". In this regard, Li Jue is well aware of Japan's sinister intentions, but he is unable to protect the palace left by his ancestors and can only sigh.
19/kloc-After the death of Emperor Gaozong in 0/9, Li Di remembered that his mother was murdered by the Japanese and his father was poisoned by the Japanese. He has an ulterior blood feud with the Japanese. But there is nothing he can do to avenge himself, and he can only keep it in his heart as a permanent pain. At this time, he became extremely superstitious. He began to believe that people have souls after death, and people can talk to their dead relatives. He often went to the residence of Emperor Gaozong before his death and the mausoleum after his death. Facing the emptiness, he kept chanting. Later, when there was a telephone in the palace, he ordered people to set up a special telephone line to the former residence and mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong. Whenever he was unable to go because of his physical discomfort, he asked his entourage to put through the phone, pointed the receiver at the coffin of Emperor Gaozong, and then plainclothes sat quietly in the microphone. The waiters who saw this scene were all moved. He persisted in this habit for several years until he became seriously ill.
Li Mao is a kind and cowardly person by nature. He suffered an incurable wound in body and mind. 1March, 926, Li Di was seriously ill. At that time, his younger brother Li Yin was named Chu Jun by the royal family. After hearing the news, he rushed back to Seoul from Tokyo. Seeing that Li Yong is so ill, his medical care is still poor. Li Yin once instructed the relevant departments to deploy full-time nurses to take care of him, invited good doctors widely, and used both Chinese and western medicine. However, after Li Yin left, none of these suggestions were implemented.
1926 At dawn on April 25th, Li Jue died at the age of 52 in the Dazao Hall of Changde Palace, and was named "Imperial State" in 19.
On June 10, a funeral was held for Chunzong in Li Yong. The mausoleum was chosen next to Hongling in the golden valley of Emperor Gaozong, his father, and was named Yuling. At eight o'clock in the morning, Dayu drove out of Dunhuamen, and the funeral procession composed of imperial clan, aristocratic courtiers and people from all walks of life lasted for more than twenty miles. After the national war, Li Wang became a symbol of national independence, and citizens expressed their grief over the national war by mourning the late king. The excited crowd gradually lost control. At this moment, a young man named Song Xuexian saw a Japanese coming out of Changdeok Palace in a car. He decided that this man must be Japanese governor Saito, so he rushed up and stabbed the dagger into his chest. Unfortunately, the deceased was not a Japanese governor, but a leader of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. Later, Song Xuexian was arrested, tortured and finally killed. But his feat inspired young people all over the country, and they launched a strike against Japan. Japanese military and police arrested people everywhere, which further aroused people's resistance and finally evolved into a nationwide "June 10" anti-Japanese movement.
As Li Tuo was infertile, the Korean royal family chose Li Tuo's younger brother Li En as the heir. The Japanese took Li Tuo to Japan, arranged for him to be with Princess Zhenzi, who was diagnosed as infertile, and asked the Korean royal family to stop planting. But contrary to expectations, Princess Zhenzi gave birth to Li Ju, and the doctor who diagnosed the princess committed suicide.
Li Ju was unhappy all his life. He is Korean, but he can only speak fluent Japanese and English, not Korean. In 2005, the last prince and grandson died alone in a foreign land in Japan. Later, he was shipped back to Korea and buried next to his father. His death evoked memories of that humiliating and painful history in South Korea. Lee Hae Chan, then South Korean Prime Minister, said, "Your death reminds us of our ups and downs.
