These are the characters Lee Do made.
Can it be that he plans not to publish it?
Even if he publishes it, who will use it?
If you are determined to publish it, then abolish the Jiphyeonjeon.
In the end, publishing the characters and the Jiphyeonjeon are used to carry out the deal, right?
It was me who initiated it.
I will also be able to get everything that I can.
If it's possible to write out everything that is spoken, things that are written can be directly read out.
His Excellency Hwang Hui said today's deal will surely succeed.
What should we do?
It needs to be stopped.
This matter needs to be immediately stopped.
The deal can't be made with Lee Do.
Lee Sin Jeok needs to be stopped.
These characters absolutely can't be announced to the world.
Immediately notify Lee Sin Jeok.
Yes.
His Excellency Right Minister has already entered the palace.
I don't care what's happened, it has to be passed on, understand?
Lord!
What's going on?
I have an urgent message.
Your Excellency! Your Excellency!
That, Your Excellency Right Minister... temporarily...
It needs to be stopped, it's Bon Won's order.
What are you saying?
It's said that everything is His Majesty's plan, a deal absolutely can't be concluded.
It seems like the other officials received it too, the order can't be agreed to.
I say, you fellow, I'm asking you what you're saying.
What? His Majesty's plan?
I'm also unclear. I only know that it's an urgent order.
Your Majesty, Prime Minister Hwang Hui and Right Minister Lee Sin Jeok are entering.
Your Majesty, before we pass on the ministers' opinions to you,
have you reached a decision yet?
The whole night I have thought deeply about the matter without sleeping.
So I...
Your Highness. Your humble servant has also thought deeply the whole night without sleeping.
Regarding the officials' opposition towards Your Majesty's characters,
your humble servant doesn't have the confidence to convince them.
What is it that you want to say now?
I have reached the conclusion that I was never capable of convincing them from the start.
Therefore, I believe
the imperial examination needs be held immediately. There can't be the least little mishap.
I will go and pacify the officals, and let them take up their posts and work hard.
Please accept, Your Majesty.
How was it?
I followed what you told me earlier, but what exactly is going on?
I'm also unclear about the details, but they still had me pass on the next order.
What's the next order?
You have been asked to steal the exam question for the imperial examination tomorrow.
The exam question?
Why did the Right Minister suddenly change his attitude?
What exactly is the reason?
I also don't know the reason. Why would they suddenly...
The Mil Bon. Has the Mil Bon adjusted to this situation?
Right now the Mil Bon and the intellectuals' standpoint is consistent.
Intellectuals representing the Mil Bon, or perhaps the Mil Bon representing the intellectuals' standpoint.
There is no way to differentiate that.
Ride a horse to Hamgil-do right now and find Lee Bang Ji.
Master, why?
We need Lee Bang Ji's power.
Will Lee Bang Ji join together with us?
Isn't Gang Chae Yun with us?
Lee Bang Ji being able to take a disciple, it's a very mysterious thing.
Isn't he someone that wouldn't do that kind of thing?
Clearly he has special feelings towards Gang Chae Yun.
That's why he sent his own men to where Gang Chae Yun is.
Tell him Gang Chae Yun is with us.
Then, even if he doesn't join hands with us, he'll still come and find us.
How is Gang Chae Yun?
Currently, through different channels, we're confirming whether or not what Gang Chae Yun said is true.
Until now, there's nothing suspicious.
His motive is to assassinate His Majesty?
Yes, he personally said it.
Lee Do.
Even if the Jiphyeonjeon has to be given up, what needs to be done is publish the characters.
How was it?
At a time of Gwang Pyeong's life and death, I personally made the decision to give up Gwang Pyeong.
I even wanted to give up my Jiphyeonjeon, and wanting to publish characters.
This is the biggest gamble of my whole life.
But, they rejected that.
It wasn't accepted.
Exactly why? Why? What is the reason?
It's tomorrow's imperial examination question.
We almost succeeded.
But why was it stopped?
As a condition to publishing the characters, we can abolish the Jiphyeonjeon.
It was a perfect opportunity to implement a political system governed by the State Council.
This is the king's conspiracy.
What conspiracy?
The conspiracy to plan the publishing of the characters.
Bon Won.
Why are intellectuals, intellectuals?
That, why are you suddenly asking that?
Answer, Lee Sin Jeok.
Why are intellectuals, intellectuals?
Because scholars that understand Chinese characters and Confucianism became officials, that's why they're intellectuals.
Yes.
They became the core of authority when it was the Song Dynasty in China.
Scholars got authority and could be in charge of court politics.
The important part is, they learned Confucianism and understood Chinese characters.
So, we can't be like nobles from the Goryeo Dynasty.
We can't rely on succession by bloodline to govern the country,
but through imperial examination.
Intellectuals selected to become officials based on ability to govern court politics.
That, then, is Joseon's ideal.
Yes. But, so...
You still don't know?
Words and authority are related no matter how much you want to separate them.
All the Sino-affliated nations are established in this hierarchy. However...
But, if the characters are published,
those roots will be shaken.
The king, he wants to shake those roots.
You think the king wants to abolish the Jiphyeonjeon, that he treats as a treasure. At the same time,
what demands will be asked of us?
The various officials that can quickly spread these characters, it's not said.
Even in the imperial examinations, there's a possibility that these characters will be used.
This is equal to shaking the whole bureaucracy system.
You still don't know?
Words and authority need to be divided amongst everyone. The order will be destroyed.
The country will sink into a chaotic state.
Look at the Phags-pa alphabets. No one will use it.
A world where everyone can use words,
is equal to the sun rising from the west.
Didn't the Bon Won say that kind of thing before?
Yes, words that can make the sun rise from the west.
The Mil Bon, no. If Jeong Gi Jun wants to pass on Jeong Do Jeon's decree,
that target will, of course, be the Jiphyeonjeon.
But, why is Jeong Gi Jun giving up this opportunity?
Why, exactly?
Can it be he has another target?
Your Majesty. It could be trial of strength.
Mu Hyul.
During a fight, if you used a skill that results in death,
but if that hit misses, what will be the result?
It would certainly be a very powerful counterattack.
Really? A skill that ensures a kill means that the result has been decided.
Right now, my skill that ensures a kill, has missed.
Exactly what is it? What kind of counterattack is it?
Words that make the sun rise from the west.
Yes, what does that mean, Bon Won?
Is achieve people always feel have cannot be the dream. Character.
Are those characters that great?
Exactly what kind of characters are they? Let me take a look.
These characters can't be made known to anyone.
If people know,
these characters will be like an epidemic and spread.
Ah. Great.
Even if all the common people know characters.
Even if it's like this, will they become officials?
In this Neo-Confucian country, it's an intellectual's Joseon.
Not Chinese characters.
Just knowing those kinds of words that are needed, can it turn this country around?
People that learn these characters,
will soon drift away from Chinese characters.
If it's drifting away from Chinese characters, it's also drifting away from Neo-Confucianism.
Then, even if not now,
after several hundreds of years, it might be possible.
Fellows that don't know Chinese characters, Neo-Confucianism, The Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues,
will possibly become officials.
Such only.
After knowing characters, the pleasure of reading will be understood.
After knowing the pleasure of reading, they will become civilized.
After becoming civilized,
they will understand the pleasure in writing.
Bon Won, exactly...
And also, if people understand the pleasure in writing,
they will want to show what they think in front of others.
That is how authority changes. You still don't understand?
Right now Lee Do, wants to give authority to the common people.
Lee Do, right now, wants to do this kind of irresponsible thing.
Lee Do loves the common people like his own children? Don't make me laugh.
When the king and officials make a mistake, someone is held responsible.
When the common people make a mistake, what will happen?
Because the common people made a mistake, can they be exchanged?
You really are exaggerating, you're too nervous.
Even if this kind of thing happens,
Bon Won and I can live another 50 or 100 years.
Even if something happens, it's a matter of several hundred years later.
After several hundred years, will Joseon and Neo-Confucianism disappear?
Is it because you've lived a savage's life that you've forgotten about reality?
Exactly why is it like this?
If everyone knows characters,
if intellectuals lose authority,
intellectuals losing authority signifies Neo-Confucianism not being able to lead Joseon.
Neo-Confucianism not being able to lead Joseon means
Joseon needs,
to be destroyed.
Most certainly,
these characters must be stopped.
Then,
Bon Won feels stopping this set of characters from being published,
Compared to prime minister chairman system the a dream. Still important.
This is not an issue about first or last, but an issue about life or death.
Your Majesty.
You feel that they know about this set of characters, right?
If that is the case,
what will happen in the future...
How can that kind of person be an intellectual?
People with not even a bit of foresight, dare lead Joseon?
People without concepts, how can they be considered learners of Neo-Confucianism?
How can they lead Joseon?
But, right now, Bon Won you still rely on them.
Like most of the people in the Mil Bon,
it's because his own self interest is similar to Mil Bon's will,
that's why he will help us.
But. If say stop this cover word compared to prime minister chairman system still important.
Can it be you forgot?
What?
Gae Pa I and Yeon Du used only two days, and they could write out words.
Why were you in such a panic?
That is...
When teaching children Chinese characters, why do they need to first be familiar with the Thousand Character Classic?
After that, they learn Sohak and Myeongshimbogam,
and then after that, they're taught to write essays.
Because people who aren't educated can't write characters.
Because words are,
weapons.
People without education, if they write at will, what will happen?
Words can be used to kill people. They can also save people.
Words are fearful like that.
But...
this set of characters Lee Do made,
even if there is no one that is educated, in two days they can learn it.
Yes.
When you saw Gae Pa I and Yeon Du,
you instinctively experienced this fear.
Right now Lee Do is making that terrible thing known to the public.
But...
How come these so-called intellectuals don't know of this matter?
Living the life of a savage for a long time,
he's lost the feeling of living in reality.
Exactly what do these characters amount to?
How can we lose authority because of characters?
If you consider it for the long term, it can't be said that it's wrong.
What?
We lead the common people.
Like Bon Won said, words are power.
Therefore?
Because we know characters, that's why we can become famous.
Establishing a position higher than the common people.
But, if the common people, slaves and the people below the common people know words,
in the end, we'll be sharing this power.
Don't you know what authority is?
Authority is
power that can change something, that's authority.
As long as can implement prime minister chairman system.
Characters are a problem we can solve ourselves.
No need, for the sake of stopping the publishing of the characters,
to give up our interest. That kind of ridiculous thing.
If someone fears authority, they absolutely won't have authority.
In the end they will only be framed by authority.
The reason for Teacher Sam Bong developing the Mil Bon was also
for the sake of letting intellectuals continue to keep their power, right?
The deal was stopped? What nonsense is this?
It's possible that the Mil Bon knows about this set of characters.
Characters?
Is it really because of this set of characters that the deal was stopped?
It must already be known. If His Majesty's characters are made known to the public,
whatever will happen?
They feel that the common people will be snatching away their power.
It's only the common people knowing a few characters. Is it that serious?
Isn't it not like this?
Knowing our characters, is it yangban or intellectuals?
Don't care know or don't know word. Lowborn person from beginning to end is lowborn person.
The intellectuals don't seem to think like that.
So, they're trying to stop the publication of this set of characters as best they can.
His Majesty said, he won't give up that easily.
The imperial examination location. Is everything all right?
Yes, right now there's nothing to report.
Prime Minister His Excellency Hawang Hui is entering.
This time, the number of people taking the imperial examinations is 17 025.
This is the excellent piece of work that we chose.
Your Majesty please personally carry out the selection of the grand champion.
It's unknown whose descendant he is.
but his knowledge is great. His insight is also extremely outstanding.
Joseon still has this kind of talent.
I'm really very happy.
All right, I honour this person as the grand chamption.
Grand champion,
Seo Yong.
Your literary talent is out of the ordinary.
Which family's descendant are you?
I am...
I am a slave in Banchon, I'm Seo Yong.
Banchon!
What did you say?
Slave?
What? Who are you?
I am a slave in Banchon, I'm Seo Yong.
Slave!
What?
From childhood I have read and re-read The Four Books and Five Classics, but there were no options.
But, Your Majesty wants to make characters,
wants to let the whole world know how to write.
So, this time, I dared to participate in the imperial examination.
I have revealed all of my talent, I have no regrets, even if I die.
So it's like this, Jeong Gi Jun.
Ever since Joseon was founded, the biggest issue was
how could I sneak into the place where the imperial examinations were being held.
And furthermore, pass the imperial examination as the Grand Champion.
When Jang Yeong Sil became the Daehogun,
they also said how can slaves become the Daehogun.
Please take note of it clearly, Your Majesty.
After that everyone around said, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
The palace chaotic.
Yes.
When it comes to talking of a slave becoming the Grand Champion, I'm also not that happy.
So it is said, for the sake of my mother's will
For the sake of being able to get this position, I put in a lot of hard work.
Right now can slaves be better off than me?
His Majesty said, he won't give up that easily.
Characters, are they really that fearful a matter?
I see the Confucius scholars want to rebel.
So it's said.
Really, to actually be a slave, exactly what will become of Joseon?
The national law is very clear-cut. Common people or above can participate in the imperial examination
Just like Koryo Seonggyungwan, university dating back to Korean Goryeo dynasty, in Gaesong, North Korea the Yun Sang the same.
Amongst the common people there are also some that have passed the imperial examination,
but there has never been anyone that has had very good results.
But, one slave
still passed the imperial examination as the Grand Champion.
This matter is an absolute no.
His Majesty once let Jang Yeong Sil, born a slave, become the Daehogun,
that's why something like this has happened.
Now is not the time to quarrel, all of you please quieten down.
How will this be handled?
Slave Seo Yong will be condemned accordingly to the law.
The Royal Investigation Bureau will send him off to Tamna as soon as possible.
Your Excellency Lee.
Why are you not answering?
Yes I will settle this as soon as possible.
Furthermore, it's best if this matter isn't made public.
Just pretend a crazy slave sneaked into the imperial examination location.
Is that understood?
Yes.
What exactly should be done, Jeong Gi Jun?
Chief Scholar, what nonsense is this?
Does the runner up of this imperial examination need to be put forward as the Grand Champion?
This is the Royal Investigation Bureau's decision.
Furthermore, slave Seo Yong will be sent off to Tamna.
Everyone's lips must be sealed regarding this matter.
You're saying to lie to oneself?
Within the palace the matter of slave Seo Yong's matter has already spread.
How should this be handled. Because of this matter
there are angry intellectuals and Confucian scholars.
Because of that fellow, the nation's order is in confusion. How is this to be corrected?
This is an issue in the palace.
Just because His Majesty said to create characters,
that's why even a slave dares to come forward and look down on the court.
In other words, this also saying His Majesty is creating a world that can let slaves become officials.
A warning that it can let slaves become prime minister.
Publishing of the characters, is an absolute no.
Your Majesty.
Slave Seo Yong has already been sent off to Tamna.
The matter can't increase a step further, it's been handled appropriately.
Everyone will gradually forget this matter.
Please don't worry.
This is not the end.
They absolutely won't stop here.
Jeong Gi Jun.
What point do you exactly want to reach?
You fellow, I only let you imitate and write it.
Who told you to learn this knowledge?
It wasn't me.
Are you also the same as slave Seo Yong,
wanting to look down on the intellectuals?
No, Seo Yong, that fellow, is crazy.
Hateful fellow.
My Lord.
You all also look at this kind of book,
the same as slave Seo Yong, and look down on the yangban.
My Lord, spare me.
You are all Seonggyungwan's slaves.
Just randomly entering and leaving Seonggyungwan, and doing this kind of shady business?
Neo-Confucianism.
It's not something that you lowly slaves can learn.
Cho Tak.
You've seen this kind of expression, right?
It's an expression we've seen on the battlefield.
When our brothers have all died or gone crazy, but for ourselves.
That kind of expression.
Right, it's that kind of expression.
The slave only knowing characters,
has already made the yangban angry like this.
The Mil Bon, is their aim this kind of confusion?
This time's event no only Confucian scholars, all the intellectual's anger were also aroused.
It is not anger.
It is fear.
Fear for themselves, it can also be considered as anger.
But this time's even is because characters only belong to oneself. Authority too. ????
People that believe it belongs only their domain, ?????
instinctively feel fear, that is why it happens.
Then,
you are saying it won't just end like this?
Then the publication... is already impossible?
We can only take the time to make a decision.
But...
There needs to be mental preparation.
What thoughts do you have on this time's event?
Joseon is finished.
This is a matter that absolutely mustn't happen and can't have.
Are you aware now?
Of course.
Even if there is no order from Bon Won, I also planned to come forward.
Wow. So freighting, freighting.
It is practically the energy of needing to battle.
I am saying in case, the worlds come to a time where everyone know words,
When will that kind of day come. Ridiculous.
In case it approaches,
If it approaches, will salves really also be able pass the imperial examination?
This national law doesn't allow this bit, I fear it is not possible.
But common people can.
In case it approaches, fellows with a bit of knowledge will want to take the exam.
So compared to now, common people that pass the exam will be a lot more.
Then is it really... a big matter?
What are you fellows doing?
I'm very sorry.
The murderous intent we feel,
is it the Confucian scholar's?
How can Confucian scholars have that kind...
You all first return to the palace.
I'll be back soon!
Is everything ready?
It is ready.
Why are you following us?
What do you mean by that?
I'm not following, I'm only going my own way.
Move Aside.
I saw the Confucian scholar that killed the slave Seo Yong.
I need to arrest him, please move aside.
Quickly.
That is why Joseon,
is a Neo-Confucian country.
This country's intellectuals, need tobe outstanding officials supporting Joseon.
Leading Joseon to the correct path.
Furthermore, Confucianism has always been an intellectuals's ideal.
Only people who possess accomplishment can become officials.
But right now, what does our Joseon look like?
It actually wants to create characters that are against China's.
To want to become a world where everyone knows words.
This then signify. Want shake move Joseon the foundation characteristic School of Principle with management system.
Stop!
So, I Pak Se Myeong,
as a Confucian scholar of Joseon,
represent all of Joseon's intellectuals and Confucian Scholars,
to execute the slave Seo Yong, who participated in the imperial examinations.
For the sake of our path and justice, sacrifice my life.
Exist eternally, Joseon.
Don't.
Quickly... quickly back down.
The matter of everyone knowing how to read,
will even make such a young Confusion scholar angry?
To reach the degree of giving up his own life.
Yes.
To them, only characters are their power.
To me, examining incidents.
To Sir Royal Guard, it is the sword.
Ga Ri On is Ga Ri On,
isn't it because it is difficult to deal with examine incidents?
To me, it is this.
To these yangban, isn't it even more.
The truth of the characters can't be let known to them.
If they knew the truth of the characters,
the estimated time for the characters to be published will not be known. It will have that kind of hinderance.
This is a matter Abamama bet his life on.
Compared to us, anyone would bet more seriously.
Like Orabeoni, you bet your life on killing the king.
I bet it on creating characters.
As long as you know how to read, the common people will too develop power.
Although we can't feed ourselves with it,
it can know of a better way of making more food.
Although we can't become Yangban,
but we absolutely won't be easily manipulated by the Yangban.
For the sake of saving you, who broke out of prison and fleeing,
With Royal Father flip face.
This matter became the start of all Lee Do's matters.
Afterwards, now Lee Do's end,
is creating characters.
This thing... is it this outrageous?
The characters that His Majesty made,
this matter of the characters entering the world.
Dam.
You knew from the begining?
From the beginning, I didn't know.
From the beginning, when His Majesty said he needs to create simply characters,
it wasn't known if it was possible.
I just felt very happy.
Even just imagining it, I felt very happy.
But His Majesty really created simply characters,
watching these characters nearing completion,
I started to feel uneasy.
Because those characters were much more simpler characters than the ones I thought.
In one aspect, I was overwhelmed by emotions.
On the other hand, I felt uneasy.
A matter that the people down below imagine and feel happy about,
a matter that is useful and convient for the people below,
will the people on top be happy?
I really didn't think this matter would be this difficult.
I thought that creating characters and as long as we publish and use it, it will be enough.
But the characters still didn't appear, and the killing and shooting has already started.
Now... it is already really difficult to casually publish.
It is the Milbon right?
It is the Milbon causing disturbances behind the scenes right?
The Milbon needs to be... Jeong Gi Jun needs to be caught for this situation to end.
No matter if it is Jeong Gi Jun's location,
or his face, there is no one who knows.
Didn't His Excellency Jo Mal Saeng also say he only knows that face of 20 years ago?
His Excellency Jo Mal Saeng,
has an expert that even Mu Hyul acknowledges.
Lee Bang Ji.
Jeong Do Jeon's bodyguard, the best swordsmen of Joseon at that time.
But, orabeoni,
That... the desire you said,
De... sire.
Wait till I catch Jeong Gi Jun.
Wait till I catch him, then I will tell you.
Do you understand?
Although at that time, Mu Hyul was pursuing Lee Bang Ji who disappeared.
But returned defeated.
Master, Master, it is critical.
You are Yun Pyeong's men right?
Where is Yun Pyeong?
The Bon Won has issued an order.
So, I have first come to pass that on.
I am not the Mil Bon.
You dare say one more order,
you will die.
Master!
You dare say Master again and you will also die.
Didn't we agree not to meet in this life?
No matter if it is Jeong Gi Jun or you.
I came to pass on Bon Won's intentions.
Bon Won hopes to work with you together.
To labor under a delusion ; wishful thinking.
People were sent up to find me just for the sake saying that?
Get lost.
Do you recognize Gang Chae Yun?
Gang Chae Yun has already come to an agreement with the Mil Bon.
Lee Bang Ji.
Yes.
Lee Bang Ji who previously use to be Jeong Do Jeon's bodyguard.
How did you know that Lee Bang Ji,
is my master?
What?
Are you Lee Bang Ji's disciple?
Yes.
This kind of fate,
isn't it... ill fated?
Is Lee Bang Ji the Mil Bon?
Since he is actually be your Master, you should be very clear.
I don't know a thing.
The matter of Master being Jeong Do Jeon's bodyguard.
It was also when I heard His Excellency Jo Mal Saeng mention it that I knew.
Furthermore, Wu-Yin (fifteenth year E3 of the 60 year cycle, e. G 1998 or 2058) quiet society that night.
he was bother by some matter was wasn't able to protect Jeong Do Jeon.
Only to this degree.
From there afterward, his whereabouts were unknown.
Whether or not he returned to the Mil Bon, I have no knowledge.
Whether it's not secret Lee Bang Ji is Wu-Yin (fifteenth year E3 of the 60 year cycle, e. G 1998 or 2058) quiet Sa Shi survive.
Sam Bong's remaining traitor.
Vanishing without a trace is a matter taken for granted.
The one that killed the scholar, that assassin called Yun Pyeong,
that fellow used Master's martial arts.
What did you say?
What is this about?
Doesn't that mean Master recognizes Jeong Gi Jun?
Therefore...
If we can meet Master, then we can ask about matter regarding Jeong Gi Jun.
Do you know Lee Bang Ji's location?
In fact, not long ago Master send someone to find me.
If we investigate his hopae, there will be a way to find out.
But before that, what is important to me is,
whether or not Master formed the relationship with the Mil Bon.
If Master is the most important person amongst the Mil Bon,
Me meeting with Master may cause matters to worsen.
So I ask you to tell me about Master as well as the past Mil Bon,
everything that you Chief Palace Guard know.
After hearing about Gang Chae Yun's matter, he seems to be amazed.
But did not come along together.
He'll come.
Lee Bang Ji will surely come.
Wu-Yin (fifteenth year E3 of the 60 year cycle, e. G 1998 or 2058) politics that night.
Posthumous name given to second emperor of a dynasty king hit enter that time traitor Jeong Do Jeon Nam Xing the family.
to kill everyone, you should also know of that matter.
That's right.
But, I heard Master, being a bodyguard was not at the scene.
Do you know that reason?
There is a woman.
A women who is Lee Bang Jis affectionate to.
And is also Jeong Do Jeon's woman.
You are saying he fell in love with the Lord's woman?
You can saw that.
At that time, when Taejong His Majesty went to kill Jeong Do Jeon, the biggest problem
was Josoen's best swordsman, Lee Bang Ji's existence.
So he had Lee Bang Ji temporarily leave.
After kidnapping that woman,
this matter was told to Lee Bang Ji.
After Lee Bang Ji knew of that matter,
he left Jeong Do Jeon and went to save that woman.
Drop your sword Lee Bang Ji.
Before this matter ends, temporarily stay here.
That way, I won't hurt that woman.
Quickly go, quickly go save Teacher Sam Bong.
Quickly.
Don't.
So, what happened?
That woman died in Lee Bang Ji's embrace.
Until her last breath her words, were quickly go save Teacher Sam Bong.
then Lee Bang Ji went to save Sam Bong.
But that side was already finished.
His own Lord Jeong Gi Jun and woman,
he wasn't able to protect.
As far as I know, it is because he blamed himself that he disappeared.
Yes.
But how did Chief Palace Guard know this so well?
The matter on Muinnyeon, that night, what do you think I was doing?
At that time I was a young impetuous warrior.
My first time going out to battle was that night.
So compared to His Excellency Jo Mal Saeng, I understand I lot more.
His Excellency Jo said, Master suddenly disappeared.
Said he didn't know why he disappeared and where he went.
His Excellence Jo Mal Saeng?
That's right.
How can that be. The one who were just talking about who pointed a sword at that woman,
trapping Lee Bang Ji that person was His Excellency Jo.
It was His Excellency Jo.
So Master had that kind of past.
Because of the self blame for not protecting Jeong Do Jeon, he lived that way.
Then, what is the relationship with the Mil Bon?
Hey, where do you plan to go?
And where do you plan to go? Have you found the books?
I absolutely can't let you go.
Don't go. Don't go.
What are you blindly yelling about?
I have already reported to the Chief Royal Guard.
I play to look for someone. I will be out for a few days.
Looking for who?
Lee Bang Ji. Teacher father.
How long has it been?
Like this late what happened?
It appeared.
- Appeared? What? - Aigoo.
You could have given order for too long so you forgot.
The one that is toasting wine before the grave, and grieving so deeply finally appeared.
Who are you? You don't look like you are from Banchon.
What are you doing here, you old man.
Aigoo. Who is this? How many years had it been?
What are all these, move them away.
Look at the way you speak.
I am the Mil Bon's Bon Won.
I've carried you on my back before, did you forget?
Right... right...
I yell you uncle. Still very like you.
Let's go inside and talk. Didn't you come to talk?
Move aside, don't pointlessly lose your life.
Still not putting retracting your swords, we will all die if we don't do it well.
Come, come, go inside.
What is behind that wall? A beast was raised.
As expected of Lee Bang ji. Old but still vigorous.
You know it, right?
Need to brew some tea, or either some wine.
Stop speaking nonsense. Let's talk about the main topic.
What do you mean by Gang Chae Yun and the Milbon are together.
It is just like it was said.
It means Gang Chae Yun is along side our MilBon's justice.
Jeong Gi Jun, you are like this because you believe what is behind that wall right?
Answer honestly.
That one called Gang Chae Yun, your disciple,
I feel that I can make him not live a meaningless life like you.
A swordsman, being implicated by the grudge of those above is the most meaningless thing.
It is the lowest kind of life.
Having ability and knowledge yet arrogantly living in seclusion.
Isn't that the lowest kind of life, ike you.
No matter what kind of Joseon you will create, or what kind of political system,
there will always be some people plundering, there will always be people being robbed.
there will always be some people who are trampled on and some who trample on others.
The people above will say it is righteousness, but in fact it is all the same.
In the end, it is still nonsense.
It doesn't seem something someone who clings to his master's woman, a traitor who betrays His Lord would say.
Hey, so,
This time how long will come back?
I will find out when I go.
This time, even if I can't find it,
within 3 to 4 days, I'll return.
Needing to travel far, I suddenly feel very hungry.
Is there anything to eat?
That pig head ate it all, there is nothing.
An Cho Tak should also be asleep.
Need her to be awakened?
No, no.
On the way is Ga Ri On's place, taking some dried meat will be enough.
Anyway that Pak Po, you need to take care of him well.
Do not worry, Chae Yun.
Be careful.
Lee Bang Ji, that day if you had not left because of a woman,
Sam Bong would have been able to escape the crisis.
As long as can escape Sir Chul Nam Xing seat of government.
then we can once again gather power to reverse this battle.
You are the one who changed history.
You fellow, destroyed Joseon's history.
Regarding that, I have nothing good to say.
I would also extend my neck before you,
and let you kill me.
Yet you request for a deal.
Having me cultivate Yun Pyeong, that fellow into a killing machine.
So since I did it,
that deal should have been completed right?
Just by that level of transaction, you think you can atone for your crime?
Do you really believe that? Lee Bang Ji.
What do you want me to do?
Follow Gang Chae Yun. Join with us Mil Bon.
Chae Yun has really become a Mil Bon?
He knows that you are Jeong Gi Jun?
He still doesn't know right now.
Furthermore, he still has been promoted to a Mil Bon.
Don't let him know and also don't let him participate.
Although he emits a intense and murderous intent on the outside,
he is actually an very weak child.
A child that can't come to be affiliated with political matters.
Political matters.
Gang Chae Yun using a knife to aim in the direction of the palace,
isn't that already related?
Since the target is the same, that is why we need to be together.
What does this mean? What palace?
Do you really not know?
For the sake of revenge, Gang Chae Yun honed his skills for the past numerous years.
The knife aiming there, do you really not know? Lee Bang Ji.
It is Lee Do.
Gang Chae Yun came to kill the King.
Hey, Ga Ri On.
At this late in the night, what happened?
I need to make a trip faraway, because I'm a little hungry,
do you have any dried meat or the likes?
If there is no beef, pork is fine too.
Dried Meat or the like, if you have some let me bring a bit.
Yes, yes, of course there is.
Come inside for a moment.
- Good, good. - Good.
Here, this way.
There is a visitor.
A hyeong I knew from long ago, coming once in many year.
Hyeongnim, in any case it is fate, get to know each other for a bit.
It is Gang Chae Yun of the Royal Guards.
I work as a royal guard in the palace with the family name of Gang.
You are saying Lee Bang Ji has appeared, correct?
Didn't I said before that he would appear.
Didn't you hope that Sam Bong was dead?
I have to betray the Mil Bon again.
I have lived such pointlessly.
The Royal Gurad have made a move.
Right now, immediately seize Lee Bang Ji.
Long time no see.
At last we meet, Lee Bang Ji.
Bon Won.
Take a look.
To me, the most precious is Dahm.
To Dahm, the most precious thing are letters.
What the Mil Bon tells us is,
the characters that everyone will understand and the confusion that will appear.
Then is it really only confusion?
Even if the lowest position in history is my position,
I will also not stop.
I need to see him.
I should now see Jeong Gi Jun.
