0 1 puppet emperor, parents died suddenly.
Li Mao, born in 1874, is the only adult son of the Korean emperor and Ming Chengzu Min. 1 year-old was canonized as Wang Shizi, and 2 1 year-old was promoted to crown prince. 1897 After the Kingdom of Korea was renamed the Korean Empire, Li Mao was awarded the title of Crown Prince. Nine months after Li Mao became the Crown Prince, Japanese ronin invaded Gyeongbokgung Palace. Empress Mingcheng, regarded as a thorn in Japan's side, was brutally killed on June 8, 1995. After the murder of Empress Mingcheng, Li Di's temperament changed greatly, from lively and cheerful to taciturn.
Ming Chengzu Shi Min
After the Russo-Japanese War, South Korea actually became a Japanese colony. Emperor Li Xi didn't want to be conquered. At the end of 1905, he sent an emissary to The Hague, the Netherlands, to attend the Second World Peace Conference, calling on the great powers to put pressure on Japan and safeguard the independence of South Korea. Unfortunately, Li Xi's personal letter and power of attorney were intercepted by Japan, and Japanese inspector general Ito Bowen instructed Li Wanyong, Song Bingzuo and other traitors to force Li Xi to "abdicate" the throne to Prince Li Mao in August 1907. After Li Xi abdicated, he was closely watched by the Japanese, and was finally poisoned in191year at the age of 68.
As the monarch of the Korean Empire, although Li Mao ascended the throne, he did not have any power. During his reign, important imperial edicts and decrees were forged by the Japanese office in South Korea, and senior officials were all Japanese eagle dogs, only the latter followed. Moreover, Japan forced Li Mao to sign the Treaty of Ding Weiqi (the third Japan-South Korea agreement), thus depriving South Korea of its judicial power and dissolving its army. In this way, even traffickers and pawns know that it is only a matter of time before South Korea is completely annexed by Japan.
Emperor Gaozong of Li Xi of the Korean Empire.
Ito Bowen was able to maintain the independence of South Korea on the surface during his tenure as inspector general. However, as he was shot by South Korean scholar An Zhonggen in 1909, the hardliners in Japan gained momentum, and the idea of annexing South Korea immediately became the mainstream consciousness of the ruling and opposition parties. It is in this case that as soon as Terauchi Masatake took office as the Chief Inspector, he forced Li Yong to appoint Li Wanyong as the plenipotentiary and signed the Treaty of Japan-Korea Merger with this traitor on August 22nd, 19 10. As a result, the Korean Empire, which was established only 0/3 years ago, perished and the Korean Peninsula was completely colonized by Japan.
02 after abdication, it was humiliating.
After Li Mao abdicated, he was named "Li Wang of Changdeok Palace". Although he still maintains the dignity of the emperor and a carefree life on the surface, his activities are limited to Changde Palace. Without the consent of the Japanese, he could not step out of the palace and became a foreign prisoner on the land of the motherland. The Japanese took very strict preventive and restrictive measures against the conquered monarch. Not only did they prohibit Li Mao from participating in state affairs, but even he was not allowed to intervene in such a trivial matter as the arrangement of bedroom furniture. This is crazy.
Li Ming
Since his mother was killed, Li Di began to become depressed, and his father's tragic death once again brought a heavy blow to his mind. In addition to the humiliating life after the national subjugation, Li Jue spent all day in Lacrimosa, often hiding in the secret garden of the deep palace and silently reciting poems written by Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, after the national subjugation, and his mental state was very bad. Fortunately, under the careful care and patient guidance of his wife, Yin Shi (the Empress of Pure Filial Piety), Li Mao survived the long and painful years and miraculously lived for more than ten years. But it is a pity that Li Di has no fertility, and the couple have never had children.
Although the Japanese respect Li Mao on the surface, they have been doing shady things behind him, deeply stimulating the fallen monarch again and again. 19 17, in order to rule the Korean peninsula permanently, the Japanese secretly set fire to the Gyeongbokgung Palace in order to destroy the "Long Mai" in South Korea, and then demolished the Gyeongbokgung Palace on the grounds that it needed wood to repair it, demolishing more than 4,000 rooms successively. In this regard, although Li Mao is well aware of the Japanese sinister intentions, he is powerless to stop it and can only sigh.
Korea Changde Palace
After years of humiliation and depression, Li Yong became extremely superstitious. He began to believe that the soul would not die after death, and often went to the bedroom where his father lived before his death and Hongling where his parents were buried to talk with his dead relatives. Later, Li Jue also ordered people to set up a special telephone line in the former residence and mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong. Whenever he was unwell and couldn't go, he asked his attendants to connect the phone, pointed the receiver at the place where his dead father's soul should have lived, sat quietly in the microphone and spoke it out, making everyone cry.
The tragic death of 03 triggered an uprising.
Li Mao was weak and suffered a painful and depressed life all the year round after his death, so his health deteriorated year by year, and he was dying by March of 1926. Chu Jun's younger brother, Li Yin, rushed back to Seoul from Tokyo to visit the sick after hearing the news, and instructed the relevant departments to deploy full-time nurses to take care of his younger brother and ask a good doctor for treatment. However, under the obstruction of the Japanese army, the relevant departments did not obey Li Yin's orders, and Li Mao, whose condition was deteriorating, finally died at the age of 53 on April 25th.
Li Mao's funeral.
Before Li Mao's death, he secretly dictated the testamentary edict to his uncle Zhao Ding IX, and published it in the Korean Xinmin Daily published in the United States on July 28th of the same year. In this testament, Li Yong explicitly refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Japan-South Korea Merger Treaty, claiming that this traitorous treaty was signed behind Li Wanyong's back and has no legal effect. This testamentary edict is not only an account of Li Mao's history, but also a clear expression of his inner sadness under the shadow of national subjugation, so once published, it aroused the indignation of Korean patriots.
In order to buy off people's hearts, the Japanese colonial authorities not only went to the Temple of posthumous title for Li Mao, but also held a grand state funeral for him, and hundreds of thousands of people came to attend the funeral. The funeral was held in June of the same year 10. So, out of mourning for Li Mao and grief as a conquered nation, the people attending the funeral took out the hidden Taiji flag on the way to the funeral and shouted the slogan "Long live independence". Japanese military and police arrested people everywhere, which further aroused people's resistance and finally evolved into a nationwide "600,000-person movement".
Japanese colonial authorities suppressed the "600,000-year Movement"
Although the "600,000-year Movement" was severely suppressed by the Japanese colonial authorities, it had a far-reaching influence in the history of the Korean independence movement. As stated in the History of Korean National Liberation Struggle: "Although the scale of the' 600,000-member Movement' is not large, the political significance of the movement is highly evaluated, because the' 600,000-member Movement' is not only an anti-Japanese struggle under the leadership of the * * * production party, but also an actual heroic struggle to announce the political line of the anti-Japanese national United front to the working people and the patriots."
