North Korean demon girl Zhang Lushui Yanshan Jun's favorite concubine, the status of the queen is super, and she has remarried many times
A frequent guest in Korean historical film and television dramas, it is none other than Yan Shanjun. With his tyrannical rule, this ancient monarch frequently appeared in various film and television dramas. As early as 1962, the release of the Korean historical film "Tyrant Yansan" attracted widespread attention in the global film industry.
Due to its terrifying plot portrayal, this original historical film was classified as a thriller in later classifications. Its influence continues to this day in the Korean film industry.
Works such as Da Changjin", "The King's Man" and "Traitorous Minister" all follow the style of "Tyrant Yanshan", and depict the image of Yanshanjun with in-depth brushwork, so that there are endless alternate historical dramas based on Yanshanjun.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yeonsan-kun occupies an important place in Korean history and is revered as the "top stream". This situation occurred, on the one hand, because Yan Shanjun's tyranny was comparable to that of King Shang, and on the other hand, because of the existence of Zhang Lushui, the favorite concubine known as the "demon girl" beside him.
Zhang Lushui: Zhang Lushui, who was born in an ordinary background but became the favorite of Yanshanjun, formerly known as Zhang Lushou, was the daughter of Zhang Hanbi, the county commander of Wenyi County during the Chengzong period of Joseon. Although her father was not very wealthy, he had a certain status in the administrative aspect.
However, Zhang Lushui's childhood was tormented, even more difficult than that of many ordinary people's daughters. However, none of this stopped her from becoming Yan Shanjun's favorite concubine.
Zhang Lushui is not Zhang Hanbi's biological flesh and blood, she is an illegitimate daughter left behind after his indulgence. For this daughter, Zhang Hanbi has always regarded her as a burden and has never fulfilled her responsibility to raise her.
Zhang Lushui spent her teenage years in exile, and she was sold into a green house and became a prostitute when she was a teenager.
Zhang Lushui's life is full of twists and turns and miracles. Luckily, she was naturally beautiful and extremely good at reading words. Although she was ransomed and married by a guest when she was a teenager, and later became a slave maid in the family of the Great Monarch of Qi'an, she did not give up, but through her wisdom and courage, she finally turned her life around.
Because of his outstanding appearance, Zhang Lushui quickly attracted the attention of the forty-year-old Qi'an Maharaja. She was placed by the Maharaja's side and served him day and night. The Grand Monarch of Qi'an was very fond of beauty, and he kept a lot of prostitutes in his house.
However, since Zhang Lushui appeared, he was completely attracted to this 20-year-old woman, and even had a child with her.
Zhang Lushui is not only good at perceiving people's hearts, but also has a beautiful face. According to historical records, she has an outstanding voice and is able to sing moving songs without opening her lips.
hers"Clever and seductive, no one can match", which is almost the North Korean version"Sudaji"。
Zhang Lushui served in the family of the Maharaja of Qi'an for more than ten years, and was promoted from a prostitute to the concubine of the Maharaja, and his life has reached its peak. However, what is even more surprising is that at the age of thirty, she met someone who completely changed her fate - Yan Shanjun.
Yan Shanjun, formerly known as Li, is the nephew of the Great King of Qi'an, and the new king of Joseon. He is obsessed with women, just like his uncle. After Yanshanjun ascended the throne, in order to please him, the prince of Qi'an invited him to his home as a guest, and at the same time arranged for Zhang Lushui to serve him.
Although Zhang Lushui is over thirty years old, has children, and has even become a wife several times, she still maintains a girlish appearance, as if time has left no trace on her.
According to the "Records of the Joseon Dynasty", she "did not look as good as a middle-aged person", and even at the age of 30, she was still as beautiful as a girl.
Yan Shanjun has always been suave, and the green water in front of him, his eyes are seductive, which makes his heart ripple. Qi'an Dajun took advantage of the situation and strongly recommended Zhang Lushui to Yanshanjun, and Yanshanjun readily agreed.
In this way, Zhang Lushui, with his beauty and wisdom, once again jumped to social status and became the pearl of the king of a country.
Zhang Lushui and Yan Shanjun can be called the most unscrupulous royal couple in the history of North Korea. Yan Shanjun's immorality and fornication are incomprehensible, while Zhang Lushui is wanton and indulgent. Zhang Lushui never competes for favor, but often takes the initiative to help Yan Shanjun hunt for beauty, whether it is a noble woman or a married woman, as long as Yan Shanjun takes a fancy to it, she will design to lure the other party into the palace and let Yan Shanjun **.
The absurdity of these two men has left an indelible stain on the history of North Korea.
Even the princes and nobles are not spared, not to mention the ordinary people, and there are countless people who have been harmed. After Zhang Lushui entered the harem, although his status was only a third-grade "Shurong", his actual power had surpassed that of the queen at that time and became a veritable lord of the harem, and even involved in national politics.
At that time, a number of ministers had written to suggest that Yan Shanjun restrain him and remove Zhang Lushui, but they all suffered terrible retaliation.
The reign of Zhang Lushui and Yan Shanjun was full of terror and cruelty. Anyone who dared to challenge them, whether it was a harem concubine or a court minister, faced extremely cruel punishments, and could even be chopped into pulp.
Under this reign of terror, people lived in fear, and only flattery and obedience remained above the court. The rule of Jang Lushui and Yan Shanjun put everyone in danger and chaos in the entire Korean society.
Yan Shanjun once invaded the temple with his entourage, insulted the nuns, and behaved badly. In order to expand the harem, he selected thousands of young girls from all over the country and abused them for fun. Zhang Lushui is also suspected of improper relationships, as a princess, she has been in contact with many noble children for a long time.
Under the construction of Yan Shanjun and Zhang Lushui, the entire Joseon king became a place full of absurdity and shamelessness. Incredibly, Yan Shanjun even openly behaved with Zhang Lushui at the sacrificial banquet of the ministers, throwing aside all the etiquette rules.
Yan Shanjun's behavior is closely related to his background. His biological mother was Concubine Yin, who had been deposed in the previous dynasty, so he was full of deep hatred for his father and the country as a whole.
Yan Sanjun's father, Seongjong, with his benevolent heart and zeal for Confucianism, made the country peaceful and was called by the Korean people"The Holy Monarch of Peace"。However, Yan Shanjun's rule seems to be aimed at completely subverting everything that his father had established.
After he came to power, he not only banned the spread of Confucianism, but also abandoned Buddhism, which he had long believed, and turned to worship various exotic ghosts and gods, and even often held sacrificial ceremonies in the harem.
It turned out that every time there was a sacrificial ceremony, Yan Shanjun would wear strange costumes and make strange dances, and the sound from his mouth was like that of the waste concubine Yin, which was creepy, as if he was possessed by ghosts and gods.
It is said that at that time, there was even a rumor among the Korean people that Yanshanjun was possessed by the deposed concubine Yin, which is indescribably absurd. However, such absurd rule is destined to be unsustainable.
Under the promiscuous rule of Zhang Lushui and Yan Shanjun, the ** people in North Korea have also reached the point where they can't bear it anymore.
In the middle of the night on the first day of the ninth lunar month in 1506, a coup d'état quietly broke out. The Korean ministers led the army to break into the palace, decisively executed Zhang Lushui, and forced Yanshanjun to abdicate.
After Zhang Lushui was deposed, the Joseon ministers appointed his younger brother Jinseong Jun as king, while Zhang Lushui was imprisoned, and two months later, he unfortunately contracted the plague and died. This absurd reign, which lasted for more than ten years, has come to an end.
Yan Shanjun and Zhang Lushui passed away one after another, and this farce seems to have come to an end. In any feudal kingdom, if the king is unscrupulous and there is a consensus within the ruling group to change the king, then the matter is a foregone conclusion.
However, Lee's Joseon was not an ordinary feudal kingdom, and it had another identity, namely an important part of the tributary system of the Ming Dynasty.
The answer to this question is not simple, how to report this incident to **, not only need to take into account the superficial formalities of the tributary system, but also need to be aware of the absolute domination of its deep-seated suzerainty over the vassal state.
The old does not go, the new does not come. Although the new king was widely welcomed at home, his rule would be illegitimate, if not recognized by the suzerain.
Although Yan Shanjun was a tyrant, he was at least authorized by the Ming Emperor. Now, however, the subjects of Korea have chosen to secretly overthrow the old king and support the new one, an act that may be seen as a provocation to the suzerainty.
Historically, the illegal operations of vassal states, especially the change of monarchs, often aroused the vigilance of the ** dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, for example, the retainers of the Nanyue Kingdom killed the king Zhao Xing and installed the new monarch Zhao Jiande, which led to the outbreak of war between the Nanyue Kingdom and the Han Dynasty, and finally the Nanyue Kingdom was completely annexed.
Geographically, the likelihood of annexation of the Korean Peninsula is relatively low.
Korea did not intend to sever relations with the Ming Dynasty, as its neighbors, the Jurchens and Japan, were more threatening. The Jurchens invade and harass every year, and Japan is also looking at each other across the sea, eyeing Korea.
Even decades after Yan Shanjun was deposed, there was also the Battle of Wanli Aiding Xian.
After Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified all of Japan, he conquered Seoul, the capital of Korea, in just one month, forcing the Korean royal family to flee to the border of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty did not send troops to rescue it in time, Korea would have been wiped out.
In such a situation where there was a strong enemy in front and a chasing army behind, the Korean ministers had no choice but to rack their brains and come up with a plausible reason to make this turmoil of changing the monarch seem "natural".
After careful consideration, the Korean courtiers skillfully crafted a handwritten letter from Yan Shanjun to express his resignation to the Ming emperor. In this letter, Yan Shanjun stated that he was in poor health and could not continue to perform the duties of king, and that his eldest son had unfortunately died young, so he decided to give up the throne to his younger brother Jin Chengjun, and sincerely requested the approval of the Ming Emperor.
The Ming Emperor Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao did not pay much attention to this matter, and the internal affairs of Joseon were always regarded as insignificant. However, the letter was withheld during the court discussion, because many of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were political elites, and they saw the problem at a glance and demanded a strict investigation into the matter.
From the letter, there are many doubts: how many kings are willing to give up power during their lifetime? Why don't you have a second son when the eldest son dies? Could it be that all nine of Yan Shanjun's sons have died?
There is only one possibility in this scenario, that is, a palace coup d'état on the Korean Peninsula.
The wisdom of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty can be called keen, and they can see through the situation at a glance. However, as a suzerain, we have indiscriminately sent people to investigate, which has undoubtedly lowered our image as a great power.
In order to solve this problem, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty discussed and proposed a plan: send the imperial doctor to North Korea to see Yan Shanjun, ** his condition is true or false.
When the news was received throughout North Korea, the level of shock reached unprecedented levels. Therefore, a year later, Li Yi again sent an unprecedented 1,300-strong delegation to visit the Ming Dynasty.
They brought rich gold and silver treasures, tried to open up the situation with money offensive, moved up and down, and used the network of the famous eunuch Liu Jin to finally persuade the emperor to agree with Li Yi to "** the country's big and small affairs, acting as a king".
It turned out that North Korea was able to save the day in that incident, thanks to a voice in the imperial court, that is, the "acquiescence faction" headed by Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Sheng is an extremely avant-garde **, his position is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his main tasks are two, one is to maintain etiquette, and the other is to establish contacts with other countries.
According to common sense, he should be the one who should be the most vocal in demanding an investigation into the change of the Korean monarch.
Jang Seung's views differed from those of other courtiers, and he believed that there was no need to intervene in the internal changes in Korea, and that Korea should be left to its own right. In his view, the Ming Dynasty was the suzerainty of Joseon, not the Yansanjun or Jinseongjun personally.
As long as Korea is willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to interfere with any changes in the country.
After Jin Chengjun succeeded to the throne, he immediately made it clear to the Ming Dynasty that there were two points: first, the dispute in Korea had been settled, and second, the new king still deeply admired the Ming Dynasty. In such a context, it is likely that forcible investigation will only be self-defeating.
It can be said that it was this voice within the Ming Dynasty that made Li Yi and Jin Chengjun successfully ascend the throne.
Previously, Yan Shanjun did not publicly state that he was deceased, so the Ming Dynasty envoys visited him many times with court gifts in an attempt to verify Yan Shanjun's current situation. However, Yan Shanjun refused every time for various reasons, and the gift was received by Li Yi.
Li Yi reigned for 38 years, except for forbidding the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to see Yanshanjun, he always maintained a respectful and humble attitude towards the Ming Dynasty. As the years passed, the voices within the Ming Dynasty calling for an investigation of Yan Shanjun gradually subsided, and only then was North Korea able to turn the page of history.
