Chapter 1858 Death is also a ghost
Gaoyang City, Longweili Cemetery.
This is a very large area. This area is the most luxurious group of cemeteries in the entire Longweili Cemetery. Because there are special people to take care of and guard, few people can enter this group of cemeteries, so that this group of cemeteries looks particularly deserted, but also looks particularly solemn.
This is the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family, the largest political family in Korea, and it is the family cemetery.
The family cemetery of the Zhang family is indeed very good and luxurious. It has a large area and a good location. It has a quiet and beautiful environment. There are walls on all sides. Trees are planted beside the walls, and there are grass in the middle. Dozens of graves of various sizes are placed on the grass.
There are several large tombs located in the middle of the cemetery group, which are the tombs of several generations of the heads of the Zhang family.
Today, there is another new tomb in the middle of the cemetery group, that is, the tomb of Emperor Zhang Shun.
April 8, morning.
The Zhang family cemetery, which is usually particularly deserted and solemn, welcomed hundreds of people, including men, women, old and young. Almost all men wore black suits and black ties, and almost all women wore black suits and dresses. Even young girls wore black solemn clothes.
After being kept in the ritual hall of Longweili Cemetery for three days, Zhang Shunhuang's body was finally buried after being cremated this morning.
It is worth mentioning that the previous generations of Zhang family heads were directly buried, and the body was not cremated into ashes. Emperor Zhang Shun was the first head of the Zhang family to be buried after being cremated. One reason was that the times were different, and the other reason was that the Zhang family did not want to be criticized by political enemies for such matters.
Although South Korea can choose between cremation and burial when burying the dead, cremation is generally chosen now. The country strongly advocates cremation. As a senior political official, it needs to play an example in this area. Even the president should be cremated if he dies.
At this moment, Zhang Shunhuang's urn had just been buried, and the Zhang people and guests needed to say their final farewell to Zhang Shunhuang.
The position on the scene is very particular and layered.
First of all, there are five people standing in the first row, including President Lu, Premier Han, Kim Sung-yi, Jang Soon-chae and Lee Kun-hee.
On the morning of April 6, President Lu went to the ceremony hall to worship Emperor Zhang Shun. Today is President Lu's second time to come to Longweili Cemetery to send Emperor Zhang Shun to bury, because President Lu must pay attention to the Zhang family. At that time, the Zhang family made great contributions to his rise, and because Emperor Zhang Shun had promoted him in his early years, he was the "General Zhang" he called him.
Premier South Korea was the newly appointed non-party prime minister who took office on March 9 a month ago. Such an independent person has obviously had special help to become the Prime Minister, and this help is the Zhang family. In fact, the rise of this Premier South Korea is largely due to Emperor Zhang Shunhuang, which was the last big move of Emperor Zhang Shunhuang in politics when he knew that he was not long. Emperor Zhang Shunhuang promoted Prime Minister South Korea to the throne in order to ensure that the Zhang family fights against the Choi family. Prime Minister South Korea's term of office is destined to be short, only one year. As President Lu's term of office ends next year, Prime Minister South Korea will also step down.
Kim Sung-yi is the head of the largest military family in secret in South Korea. Like Zhang Shunhuang, although Kim Sung-yi has retired long ago, he has always been the head of the Kim family and has a strong influence in the South Korean military. Kim Sung-yi has had some personal relationships with Zhang Shunhuang before. Since Kim Dong-woo and Zhang Shilin married, these two old men have gathered once a week on average. This time, the death of Zhang Shunhuang made Kim Sung-yi feel like he was a rabbit and a fox that was sad, and he was sympathetic to each other.
Zhang Shuncai is the speaker of South Korea, the highest official position in the political circle of the Zhang family, and the first veteran of the Zhang family after the death of Emperor Zhang Shun. Looking at the current Zhang family, Zhang Shuncai is the most qualified to stand with President Lu, Premier Han, Kim Sung-yi, and Lee Kun-hee.
Lee Kun-hee is the chairman of Samsung Group, the largest chaebol in South Korea. She is the richest man in South Korea and a 65-year-old man. According to Zhang Soon-cai, this is an old fox who knows how to protect herself the most. Although the relationship between Samsung Group and the Zhang family is not very close, it is not bad.
President Lu, Premier Han, Kim Sung-yi, Jang Soon-cai and Lee Kun-hee bowed to the grave together, and it was the second row.
There were five people standing in the second row, namely Zhang Chengzhen, Zhang Chengyuan, Zhang Chengye, Zhang Chengding, and Zhang Chengyou. These are the five sons of Emperor Zhang Shunhuang. It is said that it is wonderful. Emperor Zhang Shunhuang gave birth to five children in this life, all of which were sons and none of his daughters.
Then there was the third row. There were several political, military and business leaders who were closely related to the Zhang family, including the head of the literary department, Kim Young-jong and Kim Jingsung. Kim Young-jong is the boss of the Kim family, Kim Dong-wook's uncle, a South Korean army general, and a commander of a field army. Needless to say, Kim Jingsung himself, he is half a member of the Zhang family. In terms of relationships, he is a new chaebol. He is already qualified to stand in the same row with bigwigs like Kim Young-jong, while Kim Jingsung's good buddies Zhang Yingye and Kim Dong-wook were all standing behind.
It is worth mentioning that Officer Wen is the Director of the Blue House. He came with President Lu. The reason why he called him Officer Wen is because he is currently the Director of the Secretary-General of the Blue House.
The head of the literary department, born in Gyeongsang-do, South Korea in 1953, graduated from Gyeonghee University, and believes in Catholicism. He was born in poverty and was a special forces member. After retiring from the army in 1978, he became a lawyer and later became a close friend of President Lo. President Lo took office as president. He was listed as a "first-class hero" by the Korean media. He joined President Lo and became a secretary with President Lo and became a secretary. He was known as the "shadow of President Lo". In 2007, he became President Lo's last director of the secretary of the Blue House.
It can be said that President Lu and Director Wen are friends with deep friendship for nearly 30 years. Since the anti-authoritarian era in the 1980s, they have been together in honor and disgrace, went to jail and marched together, and jointly opened an ordinary law firm to protect the rights of vulnerable groups, until they finally entered the Blue House together.
After President Lu committed suicide in his previous life, the chief clerk announced his death to all Korean citizens. "(This is) the longest day in life." On that day, Moon Jae-in announced to the Korean citizens in pain.
In his previous life, the head of the Cultural Office also ran for president in 2012, advocating increasing social welfare expenditures and contacting North Korea more. It was very popular among the civilian class and young people. Although he eventually lost the election at a slight disadvantage, he was still honored even though he was defeated.
What Kim Jingcheng didn't know was that in May 2017, the chief Wen finally got his wish and became the president of South Korea. Thirteen days later, the eighth anniversary of President Lu's death was commemorated. President Wen attended the memorial service with high profile and burst into tears. In his speech, he said: "President Lu has been dead for 8 years, and many people still miss him, which is gratitude."
For many Koreans, the name of the Director Wen is tied to President Lu. In his autobiography, the Director Wen said: "It feels like the process of becoming a lawyer is like being destined to meet President Lu." He has been loyal to President Lu for many years and has never left him, so that the Koreans who missed President Lu's era have a nostalgic expectation for him. After the "Year Issue" shipwreck accident in 2014, Director Wen participated in the hunger strike at Kwanghwamun Square in Seoul. At that time, some media called him the "second President Lu."
