Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God
Chapter 203 Planning a Trip to Zhaoge Palace
This yearning and pursuit for foreign things also reflects mankind's desire to explore the unknown world and its unremitting pursuit of a better life.
At another table, after hearing that Zhu Youli was from the Ryukyu Kingdom, Li Kunshan began to praise all kinds of products produced in the Ryukyu Kingdom.
However, when he learned that these products were all manufactured by factories under the Tiandi Federation, he could not help but be stunned - how rich is this Tiandi Federation!
When he heard that the Ryukyu Kingdom and Japan had both been incorporated into the Heaven and Earth Federation, Li Kunshan was even more shocked.
After the welcoming banquet, Wei Xiaobao and others returned to the king's tent in the military camp to rest.
About an hour later, Kim Dae-jung packed a letter and sent a messenger to deliver it to Goryeo King Sukjong Lee Sun at full speed.
Li Yun took the letter and opened it to read. It said: "The commander-in-chief of the Heaven and Earth Federation and the Emperor of Japan have arrived in Incheon. Your Majesty, please send an envoy to meet them as soon as possible. In addition, they also brought 30,000 musketeers, but although they are well-equipped, their numbers are slightly scarce." After reading this, Li Yun's heart, which had been hanging in the air, gradually settled down!
The letter also mentioned six huge ships, which were two to three times longer than the turtle ship and four to eight times higher. Such a huge scale made it impossible for the Incheon Navy to compete with them.
For Li Yun, the navy was not important. As long as the enemy did not dominate on land, they could not pose any threat to him.
Even if the navy is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. But if he, the king, is killed, who can pay for his life?
The letter also specifically mentioned the Federation of Heaven and Earth, which was specifically designed to bring together small countries and large tribes to achieve common development through solidarity and mutual assistance.
At present, Ryukyu Kingdom and Japan have joined. Li Huan saw this and couldn't help but feel a little interested. He had been thinking hard about how to win over Japan and Ryukyu Kingdom to resist the Qing Dynasty together and restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
This model of banding together for warmth and jointly fighting against the Qing Dynasty just suited his wishes.
However, what made Li Yun curious was who exactly was this commander-in-chief Wei Xiaobao? How could he sit on the throne of the commander-in-chief?
Various imaginations began to emerge involuntarily in his mind, trying to outline the image of this mysterious figure.
Continuing to look down, wherever you look, whether it is the soap on the shelves, the crystal clear glass, the colorful cloth, and all kinds of dazzling goods, they all come from the mysterious and powerful Heaven and Earth Federation!
With such strong financial resources, it is no wonder that the intelligence we received earlier mentioned that the Federation of Heaven and Earth would fund Ling Zhao to launch a movement to protect the monarchy and overthrow the Qing Dynasty.
After reading the letter, the haze that had originally shrouded Li Yun's heart instantly dissipated without a trace, and was replaced by a clear sky.
He was so happy that he made an important decision: to go to Incheon in person to welcome the Japanese Emperor who had come from afar!
Li Yun has always been an impatient person. Once he decides to do something, he can't wait to put it into practice. At this moment, he just wants to ride his horse and whip it away immediately.
However, a group of officials stopped him, saying that it would be inappropriate for a king to go out without a royal guard of honor. They stressed that etiquette between countries was extremely important and must not be abandoned.
This time, the two leaders on the left and right reached a rare consensus, which made Li Yun helpless.
Faced with the insistence of his ministers, he had to compromise and agreed to let them make careful preparations and postpone the trip by two days.
After all, as a monarch, he also understands the importance of maintaining the country's image and dignity.
Although he was extremely anxious, he decided to put the overall situation first and wait until everything was ready before setting off.
In the evening, Wei Xiaobao heard from the prefect, Lord Jin, that King Sukjong of Goryeo, Lee Sun, would come in person to greet them in three days.
Having nothing to do during these three days, he wanted to take his three wives and one sister to visit some scenic spots. Su Shuan, Ling Zhao and Shuang'er had been on a boat for a month and had long wanted to go around and were immediately excited.
He Ti Shou didn't want to be a light bulb for their family, so he blurted out that he wanted to practice, and stayed in the camp.
Before setting off, Wei Xiaobao had no destination, so he asked his housekeeper Park Zhihuan for advice on where to find good scenery nearby.
Although Park Ji-hwan was from Seoul, he had never heard of any famous places of interest around Gyeonggi Province. Wei Xiaobao knew that people who would travel to Seoul in the future would only be able to see the rebuilt Gyeongbokgung Palace, the TV tower, the Blue House, and stroll around Myeongdong Shopping Street, etc. There was really nothing to see.
Butler Park thought for a long time, and finally came up with a more effective name of a Taoist temple - Zhaoge Hall.
In later generations, the national flag design of Goryeo adopted the Tai Chi pattern of Taoism, which is closely related to the fact that the country has regarded Taoism as its national religion since ancient times.
However, a movement against Chinese culture later took place, which not only abolished Chinese characters, but also abandoned the governing philosophy that their ancestors had learned from China, which was dominated by Confucianism and supplemented by Taoism and Buddhism. At the same time, it also lost the traditional moral concepts that had been passed down by the people for a long time.
In later generations, the Goryeo people rarely believed in Buddhism or Taoism, but instead believed more in God.
Taoism in Goryeo originated during the Three Kingdoms period of Goguryeo on the peninsula. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was in full bloom in China, and countless Goryeo people traveled across the ocean to the Tang Dynasty capital Chang'an to study and learn. It was during this period that Taoism began to flourish in Goryeo.
Later, the Lee royal family succeeded in seizing power and established a new regime. Lee Taizu established Taoism as the state religion and established Zhaogeshu as the official Taoist management agency of Goryeo.
He also merged the two largest Taoist temples, Yuanfu Palace and Sanqing Temple, and built the magnificent Zhaoge Hall. Taoists from all over the country gathered here to practice and study.
The Zhaoge Hall is grand in scale, and the buildings inside the Taoist temple stand majestically.
The most eye-catching one is the Taiyi Hall, where the Taoist star gods are worshipped. The Sanqing Hall enshrines the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord Lao, the Universal God of Peace and the Emperor of Zitong, who are highly respected and worshipped by believers. These gods are also highly respected in Chinese Taoism after the Song Dynasty.
Whether it was a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven or report to the ancestors when a new king ascended the throne, or ordinary people praying for wealth and well-being, they would choose to do it in Zhaoge Hall.
This place carries people's yearning and expectation for a better life, and also witnesses the ups and downs of Goryeo.
