The Jingbirok: A Memoir of Imjin War
Your majesty
it seems like it's time to
install a crown prince
Jonggye Byeonmu was achived and...
i'm alive and well
What is your intention?
Am i ill in bed?
Your majesty
i'm only saying this out of loyalty
Councilor do you agree?
i asked youa question
Councilor answer him
They want to use the future king to
control this country
Councilor
This is the first i'm hearing of it
Councilor
Second state councilor
i will remember your concern and
loyalty to this country
Leave me now
You want to install a crown prince
to keep me in check?
it's a good idea
it's a very good idea
it's the first you're hearing of it?
Did you think you should back out
since his majesty got upset?
The chief councilor doesn't have a cold
does he?
i was a fool to trust the two of you
i cant believe i trusted you enough to unite
and discuss national affairs
You're cowards
You feel no guilt about saying that?
i'm asking if you didnt have any other
intentions in installing a crown prince
Other intentions?
As you said
the court should unite
and discuss national affairs
Are you going to install a crown prince
to divide the court with a new power?
Divide the court?
You'll be at the head of tomorrow's king
Weren't you planning to line up
ministers and scholars of your party?
Watch what you say
How dare you?
You and the chief councilor ruined this
Who are you trying to blame?
We'll see about this
Your majesty
i'd like to be alone
Hello hu
What is that?
it's lotus tea
i brought it to calm you down
Please be strong in heart
My mind feel clearer
Thank you
i know you care a lot about Jeong cheol
That's probably why it's more upsetting
Servants must not like a king
sho acts like a real king
it lessens their power
Don't trust anyone anymore
Light up the lamp in your heart
The lamp in my heart
Shine a light myself
The the servants will gather
under the light like moths
if they come too close they'll burn and
if they get too far they'll be cold
Jeong cheol came too close
You're a politician now
i served you for over twenty years
i watched all your concerns
right by your side
it would be strange
if i didnt become a politician
Let me ask a politician some advice
What should i do about jeong cheol?
Suggesting the installation of
a crown prince isn't a crime
Just let him be
the people who received a shield form you
will make a move
i heard his majesty was in rage when
Jeong cheol suggested the installation
a crown prince
What should i do?
Dont do anything
Just keep quiet
Whatever the opinion of the ministers is
they didnt mention you to be the crown prince
Just stay humble as always
They wont leave me alone
it doesn't matter what i want
That cant be helped
Cant i just go and say i dont want to
be the crown prince?
His majesty already decided
on prince sinseong...
Prince gwanghae
Things dont always go your way
His majesty never imagined he would
become the king
i dont want it
i'd like to leave the palace and
find a private resident
You cant do that
His majesty will be more doubtful
Dont you know he is keeping the princes
at the palace to watch them?
Stop it
it's not something to be so upset about
its for you and this country
Things are a bit hectic now
a crown prince will make things more stable
You will have someone to rely on and
being by your side the crown prince
will learn from your ruling
the order of this country wil be set
for a hundred years
Your majesty
dont misunderstand our advice
Please consider it
I Lee seongjung ask you consider it
I Lee Haesu also ask you consider it
What will you do if a prince of
the main line of descent is born?
Wouldn't that complicate things?
i thught about that but think of your age
You're close to forty
Look here
are you that concerned about my health?
i'msaying this because you're healthy
You could teach the crown prince well
i'll be honest
i'm not happy with
any of the princes right now
imhae has a violent side to him
gwanghae is as sly as a snake
Sinseong is still young and immature
There isnt anyone who is fit enough
to be the crown prince
Your majesty
Dont mention the installation of
a crown prince again
i will tell you to discuss it
when the time is right
That cowardly silence is a comfortable
path totake
i'm going to scold Yul Gok when
i see him in the next world
He misjudged you greatly
Yul gok did misjudge me
i will not be used like a fool
What?
if you dont know what i'm talking about
ask the second state councilor
What is he talking about?
i have no idea
i cant believe someone like him is
the third state councilor
He must not remain by his majsety's side
A person who doesnt keep a promise
shouldnt influence the king
Kyoto Japan
is this map precise?
We got it from merchants who travel
all around joseon
it's trustworthy
Good
When i take joseon
i will give each of you a province
Are you going to attack joseon?
What will you do if they open up a path
To ming as you wanted?
There would be no need to crush them
with my army
But they would never do that
Ming is the sky to joseon
They wont send a reply to my letter either
What king would reply to such
a provocative letter?
You thought of all that
Joseon will think i am rude and arrogant
We never invaded the joseon main land
When joseon was first founded
they conquered tsuhima once
they won't image we would invade
the main land
They could think
we might invade the south coast
Wouldnt joseon let down its guard if
you didnt show your intentions to invade
and carried out your plans secretly?
Kato
i'm going to kill you
What?
if i said we should fight one on one on horses
and that i would kill you with one finger
would you believe me?
You are the gwanbaek but with one finger
i wouldnt believe it
what if i told you to come to the rear garden
tonight without telling anyone?
i would be suspicious and scared
Thats it
if it's done secretly
there would be suspicion
but if i boasted about it
it wouldnt be believed
an uncivilized island country attacking ming
Would joseon believe that?
You have my utmost respect
Your majesty
Your majesty the prince of ryukyu is here (Today's okinawa)
Yeah?
Your majesty
ami just a gwanbaek to you?
You
the gwanbaek is asking where
he came from to unite this land
i'm sorry
You are the son of the sun
Does ryukyu have a different sun?
No you are the only one
What about joseon and ming?
Do they have different suns?
no there is only your sun
Knowing that why did you pay tribute to
Joseon and ming for so long and
just come to me now?
it was all out of ignorance
Please forgive me
What should i do with him?
Should id cut off his head?
Should is salt it and send it to ryukyu
as an example?
That's not a bad idea
Your majesty
be generous this time
and have him repay it for eternity
No if he returns to ryukyu
he will try to get revenge
Theyn read a lot of ming books
No your majesty
if you spare me
i will serve you as the sky
No
Just serve joseon and ming as
the sky like you did so far
Your majesty
Tsurumatsu my baby
Why are you whimpering so much?
What?
You have something to say too?
Yeah?
Tsurumatsu wants me to ask
if you will give 20000 sacks of
military rations to attack joseon and ming
20000 sacks?
No?
You offered hundreds of thousands
of sacks to joseon and ming
You cant even give me 20000?
i will
Tsurumatsu saved you
Be sure to repay him for generations to come
i swear my loyalty to you and tsurumatsu
You should
Ryukyu is set
Why isnt Lusong sending an envoy? (Today's Philippines)
Konishi send another envoy
if they dont enter our court this time
tell them lusong will be swept away
i think the gwanbaek wil attack joseon
Even if the officials of the joseon court
are divided if there is a war
it wont be an easy country to defeat
The war will last long
Tsushima will become a place where
people cant live
That's the same for my family and
Kirishitan Believers (Catholicism)
What should we do?
There would be no need to crush them
with my army
But they would never do that
Ming is the sky to joseon
They wont send a reply to my letter either
What king would reply to such
a provocative letter?
The only way to avoid war with joseon is
To lend a path to ming
Joseon wouldnt do that
We told them to greet us when
we went to ming in the letter we sent
We'll have to send another letter
The previous letter was wrong
We'll ask them to lend us a path to
Ming for our envoys
if a national letter states that
they might reconsider
They might send back a reply
But there' no way the gwanbaek
would send such a letter
He barely approved of he revisions
We have to write it
What?
Even if we did
without the gwanbaek's formal seal
We'll have to borrow it
it's guarded well
Could that be possible?
Gimhae...coast of jukdo
is it deep?
isn't that a map?
What are you doing here?
Bring it to me
What is marked here?
Are you from wae?
Something is going on at the border
Officials captured wae people in gimhae
They were measuring the depth of the coast
What?
Were they looking for places to dock boats?
What else could they have been doing?
When will the diplomatic envoys arrive
in the capital?
They are in gyeonggi-do
They should arrive soon
That's not all
Joseon smugglers in the north were
reproted to have been killed by nurhaci (first emperor of later jin China)
Those wretches
What was won gyun doing?
How can governement officials
protect smugglers?
i heard nurhaci was raising power
by uniting the jurchens
it's not just because of their power
They would have returned them before
if only to receive money
The barbarians must take us lightly
to have killed them
it is deploring
it's not safe in the north or south
We have to strengthen our defenses
His majesty ordered
the border defense council
and minister to recommend able generals
Recommend able people without regard
to their ranks
Must you recommend Yi sunsin?
There wil be much objection
Probably
Yi sunsin is an able military man
He's from and ordinary family and
you're his only connection
He was also dismissed form
his position before
There are a lot of people
who are much more able than him
You think so?
i guess we dont have to worry
about the border
i'm worried people will misunderstand
Yi sunsin has a lot of enemies
Why does it have to be him?
Why does it have to be someone else?
Because he's able
but from an ordinary family
and doesnt have connections?
He has a lot of enemies because
he's upright and doesnt accept or give bribes?
Myeongbo (Lee deokhyeong's courtesy name)
That's why it should be him
Even if people misunderstand
if our border is strengthened
it would be good for our country
i'm sorry
i didnt think that far
No
Someone who was a jong 6 pun magistrate
can't be assigned the head of the naval
forces which is a jeong 3 pum position
The head of the naval forces even commands
the local magistrates
How can someone of a jong 6 pum rank
handle such a position?
He shouldnt have a problem
He was the hamgyeong-do manho and (Manho: Position of defending foreign enemies jong 4 pum rank)
Nokdundo dunjeongwan (Dunjeongwan: Offical in charge of land for providing military rations)
He also had a naval position in jeolla
10 years ago
He is the best person do defend against
enemies at sea
a jump from jong 6 to jeong 3is
a rise of seven ranks
There are rules for promotions
What about everyone else who was
promoted according to those rules?
He was a jong 4 pum manho 6 years ago
You cant say he rose seven ranks all at once
ANyway his rank is jong 6 pum now
We should make an exception since
we are facing a crisis
We should take new measures
if the right people can be found
their ranks shouldnt be a problem
SUre if he is a needed person
But when he was the josan manho
two generals and a dozen soldiers died
because the jurchens attacked
Yi sunsin was domoted to a commoner
How can you say such a person is able?
Thats was a misunderstanding
His position was restored right away
He stepped down a few months later
it's because he couldnt compromise
with injustice
Everyone know it's because
he didnt bribe his superiors
Why are you making all our officials
sound shameless?
i dont know why you're so obsessed
with Yi sunsin
You recommended him as
the head of manpojin before
There is going to be a rumor that
you were bribed
That's excessive
How can you say that?
i'm saying there are rumors
Stop it
if you're so divided over one general
how do expect to defend this country?
Have gwon yul defend the north since
everyone seems to agree on him
Send song sanghyeon as
the magistrate of dongnae
Reach a agreement on yi sunsin
Councilor
Where did you hear that the third state
councilor was bribed by Yi sunsin?
The officials of the training center
it's understandable since he embraces
Yi sunsin so much
i heard that too
Yi sunsin causes problems with
his superiors whenever he goes
A bribe a bribe...
What is it?
There are suspicions the third state
councilor received bribes
Bribes?
There's no way
Everyone knows how upright he is
an investigation will reveal that
Search everywhere
Yes sir
An inspection?
You can't investigate a top offical's house
without his majesty's approval!
That's the procedure of the
Office of the inspector general
Evicence could be buried with notice
i will report to his majesty
Do you think we dont know you're
retaliating because we didnt agree with
installing a crown prince?
This is a conspiracy
i'ts political retaliation
There was a report that a bribe was went
From yi sunsin's home in asan
There is a lot of talk regarding
the recommendation of yi sunsin
You know that
So you wont stop?
No
Even his majesty cant interfere with
the investigation by office
of the inspector general
Inspector general!
Calm down
What are you afraid of?
There wont be any problems if
the councilor is clean
This is shameful
i'll just be a second
No
Nobody can't go in
Dont you know who he is?
it will only arouse suspicion
Do you have to go this far?
it will be over soon
Wait a while
How did it go?
He's clean
He's clean?
There isnt anything valuable?
i cant believe it myself
Even a low ranking officila has
at least a roll of velvet
Nobody is that clean
Sir
What is it?
it's a letter from yi sunsin's mother
Sunsin's older brothers
Huisina and yosin died
Sunsin didnt have anyone to rely on
and was lonely
Thank you for treating him and us asif
we were you're real family
As his mother
i know how upright my son is
but other people wont see him like i do
He isnt flexible so he suffered a lot
in ther border area
He finally became the magistrate of jeongeup
and called me and his nephews
This old woman is going to jeongeup
with my two grandchildren
i have no way of repaying your gratitude
i made a quilted top for you
when i made on for sunsin
That was sent form asan 2 years ago
He said it hurt too much to wear
and had it kept in the closet
What?
His house was searched?
Yes.
The inspector general searched
the councilor's house
What was the reason?
There was a report that he received
a bribe from yi sunsin
it was probably because
he didnt agrre to installing a crown prince
Theyre going to want to investigate me too
Drink it
Thank you
Why did youwant to see me?
there was much disputed over
the recommendation of yi sunsin
i heard
i also heard you searched
the third state councilor's house because
he could have recevied a bribe
You were his direct suprior when
he was the josan manho
You must know him well
Yes i do
This is the bribe sent from yi sunsin's mother
when we searched his house
When the jurchens attacked us and
twelve of our generals and officials died
and prisoners were taken
was it yi sunsin's fault?
From my investigation
Yi sunsin asked you to increase
the number of soldiers several times
is he really incapble?
or was he the scapegoatto cover your faults?
Sir
it's a matter of the safety
the southern border
i'm not seeking to punish you
i'll let that go
Just be honest
is yi sunsin really incapable?
Yi sunsin is an able and clean general
But he's very stubborn
He disobeyed a supreior's order several times
Did he disobey an order or refuse favors?
Please understand
i said i'd let it go!
if youre a real man admit what you should
reflect and start over
Are you going to disappoint me?
Yi sunsin didnt accept any favors
Like what?
Tell me everything you know
When he was at the training center
he refused to accept a secondary daughter of
Kim Guiyeong as a concubine
When he was at
the left jeolla naval headquarters
someone wanted to make a geomungo with
the tree there
He refused saying
it was government property
The third state councilor couldnt go home?
He must be upset
There are several other recommendations
other than yi sunsin?
Yes gwon yul for the north and
song sanghyeon for the south
Gwon yul in the north and
Yi sunsin and song sanghyeon in the south
That's not bad
Seeing that he strengthened the south more
he must be concerned of an attack by wae
What do you think of seoae?
There is a lot to learn from him
Do you know what his greatest strength is?
He is as clean as this stone
Should i try attacking a black stone
with this white stone?
We're closed
Already?The sun hasnt even set
i'm a bit tired
i'l asksince he's here
Ma'am
Seta table for him
Yes ma'am
Thank you
i'll clear that
Here are the dishes
i cleared all
Dont try anything
Are you crazy?
When is an outing?
i'm busy all day
i go to the market on market day
Why?
Do you want to buy me a ribbon?
Not you The woman inside
Sir
The confucian scholars wrote an appeal
over the search of your house
No need
There are appeals that the second state
councilor is causing problems by drinking
What brings you here at this late hour?
Was it you?
The appeals?
He's a dog to be killed after the hung
i only fanned air since there was smoke
Youre saying the same thing as someone else
Do you mean song lkpil?
Yes i learned from him
The court cant be in chaos again
Things arent good withjurchens and wae
There cant be divison in our court
i'm worried there will be trouble and
the court will be divided then
if theyre taken care of before that
national affairs will go smoothly
Sir
Think about it
The recommendation of yi sunsin
You only recommended him because
he was able but they came after you
i knew it would be a matter
i would have to face one day
it is pretty shocking
Like his majesty said why is it such
a problem to appoint one general?
How will things be when it comes to
defending the country?
with power it can be fought
i said we should trust his majesty
i'm sure he'll make a wise decision
You still dont know?
He waited for song lkpil's fan before
but he's wating for us this time
Jeong cheol made his majesty mad
You should see where the sun is
going to shine now
Councilor
You did well to search the third state
councilor's house
You shouldnt make any exceptions
Thank you your majesty
You confirmed he is upright
He will be an example to everyone
i only did what i should
i was very moved
i always say this but im very glad
i have someone like you by my side
Thank you Thank you very much
i'm honored your majesty
inspector general
Yes your majesty
You carried out the inspection with
the authority of the inspector general?
The inspector general's office
shouldnt be biased
i'm not sure what youre
This is an appeal that the second state
councilor is causing problems by drinking
and abusing his authority
He should be investigated too
Your majesty!
it would be beautiful if he was found
to be clean and upright too
Your majesty this is a conspiracy!
A conspiracy?
Then it should definitely
be investigated
You refuse to be invstigated?
Your majesty just kill me
What?
i'm not afraid of the investigation
The third state councilor was suspected
Because of yi sunsin
but just becuase i like to drink
and spend time with officials
doesnt mean that i cause problems
and sbuse my authority
this is very humiliating
Thats right our majesty
The third state councilor was proven
to be innocent
if another top official is investigated
everyone will take all officials lightly
Please cancel that order
is that what you think?
Councilor what do you think?
You still dont know?
he waited for song lkpil's fan before
but he's waiting for us this time
i agree with the inspector general
But since it caused a misunderstanding
tell him to avoid drinking for a while
if thats what you think
can you stop drinking for a while?
i swear i will
You have a strong will
but what will you do if other people
want to drink with you?
How about going somewhere where
people cant visit for a while?
Your majesty
i said it's only for a while
You cant do that?
it's not that
i will obey your order
Chief royal secretary
Yes your majesty
i am appointing jeong cheol as first minister
of the office of the royal clan and
Ryu seongryong as the second state councilor
Appoint yun dusu as the minister
of the ministery of taxation of proving
Ryu seongryong's innocence
Thank you your majsety
Your majesty
you should appoint yi sunsin as
the commander of the left jeola naval district
Sir!
What is it?
the diplomatic envoys are entring the capital
They are?
March 1 1591
the diplomatic envoys who went to japan
enter the palace after 12 months
They were wnt to congratulate
the establishment of a new government
and check out the situation in japan
The envoys create confusion in
the court with their report
How are things in japan?
WHy did you send a report that
there will be an attack by wae?
toyotomi hideyoshi's eyes were
full of schemees and ploys
He just unified the nation
so he was full of confidence and ambitious
it seemed like he would attack
Joeson right away
i am sure there wil be war
Thats not true
they wont attack us so easily
even if they do we dont have to worry
toyotomi hideyoshi is a rat
His behavior was full of exaggeration
and bluffing
He wasnt bluffing your majesty
He's just afraid of their bluffs
if he intedned to raise an army
he would have done so covertly
He was only bluffing to be equal to us
in status
