Empress stepping on crape myrtle

/kloc-at the end of 0/9, under the influence of western colonialism, most of these countries were invaded and colonized by western powers and became colonized countries, while the emperors and queens of various countries also became puppets and were bullied by others. Today, Ziyuan is going to describe the last queen of North Korea-the pure filial piety queen Yin. Compared with the life of Wanrong, the last empress of Qing Dynasty, this pure and filial empress is even more terrible. Historically, North Korea was a vassal state of China for a long time, and it was deeply influenced by China in political, economic and cultural fields.

Tracing back to the history of Korea, when China was in Shang Dynasty, Shang Zhouwang's uncle Ji Zi led the adherents of Shang Dynasty to the east of Korean Peninsula and established Jizi Korea. Unfortunately, modern South Korea and North Korea do not agree with the existence of Jizi Korea. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after Emperor Wu sent troops to conquer the "Weiman Korea" established by the usurping Weiman regime in the Han Dynasty, four counties of Le Lang, Xuantu, Fan Zhen and Lintun were set up on the Korean peninsula. Since then, the Korean peninsula has been the territory or vassal state of the Central Plains regime until the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

As a vassal state of China, North Korea has always implemented the vassal etiquette system. Its monarch is called "Wang", Chu Jun is called Wang Shizi, and his wife is called Princess. The granting and inheritance of these titles need the approval of the Central Plains Dynasty. In the 21st year of Guangxu (A.D. 1895), after the treaty of shimonoseki was signed, North Korea became an independent country, no longer a vassal state of China, and the thousand-year-old vassal relationship between China and North Korea ended. Two years later, with Japanese manipulation and the support of domestic forces in North Korea, Li Xi, the monarch of North Korea, publicly proclaimed himself emperor and established the Korean Empire.

Shortly after the Korean emperor Li Xi proclaimed himself emperor, he posthumously awarded his wife Min Fei as the "Empress of the Ming Dynasty". Due to the turmoil in North Korea, various domestic forces were surging, the emperor died, and there was no queen. In the thirty-third year of Guangxu (A.D. 1907), Li Xi was forced to meditate at Li Mao, Crown Prince of Korea. In order to control Korea more deeply, under the coercion of Japan, Junzong was forced to marry the daughter of the Prince of Ribbon Palace in Japan. Fortunately, Emperor Li Xi defeated the Japanese wishful thinking on the grounds of the existing marriage between military families. Chunzong had only two queens in his life, and the former queen Chunming Xiaomin was also posthumously sealed. Only the last queen, Chun Yu Xiao, Yin is the queen who really enjoyed the title before her death.

Yin Shi, the queen of pure filial piety, was born in a bureaucratic aristocratic family. Her father Yin Zerong was once the official residence of Chunzong Dynasty, and her great-grandfather Yin Rongshan was once the Minister of State of the Korean Empire (both prime ministers) and the confidant minister of Gao Zongchun's imperial concubine Yan. When Yin was only 13 years old, she married Junzong, who was about 20 years older than him, and became a political victim of the family. In the thirty-third year of Guangxu (AD 1907), Emperor Chunzong ascended the throne and Princess Yin became the queen. Life as a queen is not as happy as people think. After marriage, the two emperors were not in harmony, and the purebred Li Emperor was infertile. None of the concubines, including Yin Shi and Shimin, gave birth to a son and a half. Finally, they had to make Li Yin, the pure half-brother, the emperor's half-brother, in order to inherit the imperial clan.

During the reign of Li Mao, the Japanese side gradually controlled the military and political power of North Korea. In the second year of Xuantong (A.D. 19 10), Li Mao, a weak country, was forced to sign the Treaty of Japan-Korea Merger, and Korea became a Japanese colony from then on. During the signing of the treaty, Yin Shi, the queen of pure filial piety, tried to hide the national seal and prevent the signing of the treaty, but her uncle Yin Derong entered the palace and forcibly took it away. After Korea became a colony, in order to avoid the taboo of the Japanese emperor, Chunzong was renamed as "Li Wang" and Empress Yin called it "Yin Fei". In the 15th year of Taisho, Japan (AD 1926), Junzong, a puppet emperor who had been run by Japan for many years, died of depression and Yin lived alone.

During the Second World War, the Yin Empress, who was over 50 years old, was expelled from the Korean Palace by the Japanese side. Since then, she has become a street beggar and was ravaged by Japanese soldiers. After Japan announced its unconditional surrender, the original Korea split into South Korea and North Korea, and the leaders of the two countries were very indifferent to the former royal family. Yin, once the "mother of the country", had to live a hard life with the help of the elderly.

In the early 1960s, after park chung-hee came to power, the situation of the former royal family improved. Soon after, the purebred ancestral twins Dehui Onzhu and the Emperor's younger brother Li Yin returned to China. Unfortunately, one of the brothers of the princess and the emperor was driven crazy by the Japanese, and the other was paralyzed for many years. Yin, who was in her seventies, died in Changde Palace shortly after her brothers and sisters returned to China, ending her lonely and miserable life.
