Chapter 80: The temple is erected
After the morning guard of honor, Zhu Cihong left Changdeok Palace, which was once a palace and now has a unique Korean character, covering an area of 40 hectares, and was also established in strict accordance with the regulations of the relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But at the moment, it is not yet time for Changdeokgung Palace to play its role. The state banquet will not start until the evening.
There's still most of the day, of course, and it's not going to be boring.
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, our next stop is Guan Miao." Li Qianzong also arrived, and he bowed towards Zhu Cihong. It is different from the state visits of later generations, and emphasizes more equality between countries. For today's Ming and North Korea, there has never been equality. Korea is a vassal state of China.
"Guan Miao......" Zhu Cihong said: "This is the place to worship Guan Gong." Also...... The fruit of friendship in the chaos of Renchen back then. ”
Zhu Cihong didn't know much about the Renchen Rebellion before he came, but since he was going to make a state visit, he naturally read through the past historical materials one by one, and there were even officials who were familiar with the details to report on it.
The two gossiped casually and set off towards the Guan Miao blonde.
Along the way, everyone talked about the past of the Renchen War.
Half a century ago, that is, in the 20th year of Wanli, Japan invaded Korea, which was an extremely famous Imjin rebellion in Korean history.
With the outbreak of the war of aggression against Korea, the great anti-Japanese aid to Korea also began rapidly.
At the request of the king of Joseon, the Ming sent troops to support and fought fierce battles with the Japanese army repeatedly. In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, the Ming army defended Seoul, and the Japanese army attacked, and the two sides faced off outside the east gate and south gate of Seoul. Just as the two armies were in a bitter battle, a sudden wind suddenly rose, flying sand and rocks, and attacked the Japanese army. Seeing this, the Ming army doubled its morale and bravely rushed to kill, and finally defeated the Japanese army and won the victory.
At that time, the soldiers rumored that this was Guan Gong's manifestation to bless China. So Chen Yin, a guerrilla general of the Ming army, built a temple for Guan Gong in Seoul to thank and commemorate his apparitions.
"Xiao Wang almost grew up listening to the story of the rebellion of Renchen. When he was born, it was the time when the Renchen Rebellion was going on. When I started to remember when I was three years old, the war was coming to an end, so I heard almost all the stories about the Imjin War in my childhood. This temple was built to commemorate the war. At that time, General Chen Yin was wounded in battle and recuperated outside the south gate of Seoul, so he set up a temple statue at the foot of the mountain behind his residence. In the beginning, the temple was quite simple and the houses were quite small. It is the commander of the heavenly soldiers of the kingdom, and the right hand of the Korean military affairs is the capital of the imperial history Yang Ho, who ordered the expansion. For this reason, Seonjo and the generals of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Kingdom donated funds one after another, and finally were able to build the magnificent Guan Temple in front of them. Li Kangzong recalled at the beginning, and everyone couldn't help but sigh.
On the side of the Ming Dynasty, there are naturally many envoys who have come to North Korea.
"I remember the last time Weichen went to North Korea, I heard for a long time that the incense of this temple was vigorous. The people are grateful. ”
"Our country has never forgotten the kindness of the Ming Dynasty. The ancestor of the family also mentioned it when he was young in Weichen. I remember the battle of Luliang at that time, and my ancestor was on the spot......"
……
Zhu Cihong listened to everyone talk about the past along the way, and the convoy also quickly left Dongque, and set off towards the south and soon arrived near the Chongli Gate of the South Gate, and when he arrived here, he was not far from the Guanmiao.
Gossiping all the way, Zhu Cihong arrived at Guanmiao, he came to North Korea, naturally he would not miss this war that symbolized the great friendship between China and North Korea.
Everyone accompanied the house, only to see Miaozhong Guan Gong: "The face is like a heavy jujube, the silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and the abdomen must be drooped." The two of them stand with big swords, which is called Guan Ping Zhoucang, just like life. ”
"In the land of the Eastern Hemisphere, the most prosperous civilization is China, Japan and North Korea. If a foreign enemy wants to cause trouble to the Three Kingdoms, it will inevitably help Japan, attack Korea, and invade the Ming Dynasty. The importance of the DPRK to our Ming Dynasty is like a relationship between lips and teeth, and its fate is closely related. The friendship between Korea and China has lasted for thousands of years, and it was forged with blood during the Imjin War. This period of history is a testimony to the friendship between China and the DPRK. ”
Zhu Cihong said loudly, present, Li Yanzong was full of emotion, and his chest was moved. On the side, several painters brushed down their brushes, and a pair of stick sketches quickly came to fruition. This is an innovation of Donghua Daily, and every news has illustrations and pictures, which is refreshing.
There is no doubt that Zhu Cihong's words will soon spread in all directions and become an important weapon on the diplomatic front.
Of course, for everyone present, what was even more moving was Zhu Cihong's words themselves.
The war of half a century ago is long gone, but it is far from forgotten. Many of the older generation survived that era and still bear witness to the past.
It's a history worth remembering.
Especially in such an official scene, it is especially appropriate. Everyone present, whether they were sincere or flattering, couldn't help but be moved.
Chen Zhenhui was the first to applaud, and Wu Fu, Gao Mingheng and other Ming officials applauded one after another. After understanding that this was a new etiquette, North Koreans such as Li Kangzong, Li Yuhao, and Li Hao, and other Korean civil and military officials and nobles, also applauded vigorously.
In the venue, there was thunderous applause.
Zhu Cihong couldn't help but feel a little touched by the scene, he remembered the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea in later generations. Later, the Korean War laid the foundation for China's national defense, and the era when imperialism could open the door to national sovereignty with a single cannon is gone. It is a pity that after the war in later generations, China did not gain control of the Korean Peninsula. There are many strife.
Now, in this plane, there will never be such a legacy.
"In the first battle of Pyongyang, the Ming soldiers killed 796 and killed 12,000 enemies, and in the first battle of the Biho Pavilion, the Ming killed 246 and killed 5,008 enemies. In the first battle of Ulsan, the Ming Dynasty killed 1,400 and killed 17,000 enemies, and Luliang killed 500 and killed 13,000 enemies in the first battle of the Ming Dynasty. Such a big war, defend the country of my clan, and strengthen the prestige of my Ming army! ”
"I here, I am determined to inscribe the inscription to remember: In the past five years, the people's heroes of the Ming Dynasty and the DPRK who fought back against the aggression and atrocities of Jiannu have been immortalized."
"Over the past 54 years, the people's heroes of the Ming Dynasty and the DPRK who sacrificed their lives in the war against Japanese aggression have been immortalized!"
"Going back thousands of years, since then, the people's heroes who have fought for the happiness of the people of China and North Korea have been immortalized!"
At this moment, the applause was even more thunderous.
Li Yun'er, who came casually, quietly looked at everything in front of her, and looked at Zhu Cihong, who was under the watchful eye of everyone, saying these words with high spirits. Listening to the words spelled out in my mind, the picture opened in my chest, revealing a passion that people couldn't help but be excited and bloody.
"This emperor ...... It's really proud, and what's even more rare is ...... He was so qualified to exude such pride. Li Yun'er's beautiful eyes flowed, and a beautiful face like a peach blossom faced Zhu Cihong, illuminating in such a surging emotion.
It's just that when Li Yun'er's eyes slowly retracted, she saw that the prince Li Hao had a solemn face and was not moved at all, and was slightly stunned.
