[Episode 39] Such instability and inconsistency
make the world squirm
and create opportunities...
Therefore, also to Your Highness...
There will be an opportunity...
The one with all the power in his hands...
An opportunity... to knock out Sambong.
If you would... then I will offer my life to protect Prince Uian
as the Crown Prince of this country.
In order to appoint Prince Uian at such a young age as the Crown Prince
and to establish the discipline of the country on its foundation
that's what needs to be done!
Why is that so?
If Prince Yeongan becomes the Crown Prince
there won't be much commotion.
But if Prince Uian is appointed
it is obvious that Prince Jeongan, Prince Hwean
and Prince Yeongan will resist together!
Would you bestow full authority to me, sire?
I will.
Please protect Prince Uian Bang Seok.
In order to create an opportunity for me, you changed my father's mind?
Is that what you mean?
"Changed"?
We don't sail against the wind.
And what do you mean by that?
For example, as for Hong Ryoon...
if he were only filled with loyalty towards King Gongmin
he wouldn't have fallen for our encouragement.
If Prince Uian didn't exist in His Majesty's heart
no matter what sweet words or tricks we played
the Crown Prince wouldn't have changed.
Father had that thought to begin with...
The prophecy that Bang Seok will die at a young age
if he doesn't become the King...
What was it for?
Whether it's a prediction or a prophecy
it will be realized in reality.
From now on, it will be a war where everyone lives or dies.
You are truly interesting people.
I will take that as a compliment.
You said...
your group began from Yeom Jong of the Shilla Dynasty.
But...
I heard Yeom Jong was killed by Bi Dam in an internal strife during the revolt.
So how were you able to continue for 700 years?
After Master Yeom Jong passed away
our remaining members went to Kim Choon Choo and knelt before him.
[Kim Choon Choo: King Mooyeol, the 29th King of Shilla]
Kim Choon Choo was about to unite the Three Kingdoms
and must have coveted for the enormous intelligence group.
But his son Kim Beop Min tried to clear us out.
That's why we hid in darkness again.
Why didn't you fight him?
Did you not have enough power to fight against Kim Beop Min?
I've already explained...
that we do not sail against the wind.
The unification of the Three Kingdoms, and Kim Beop Min's reign that followed
was stable even without us.
Once stability sets in...
we will disappear quietly again.
By the way, Your Highness...
Do you really plan to join hands with Moomyung?
Why?
They used to be our enemy.
Don't worry about him, sire. He's sick these days.
How is he sick?
He has the disease of deciding what's right and what's wrong.
Forgive me.
If there were someone in Moomyung who had the same disease as you do
how would their leader answer?
I'm not sure.
As long as I need it, I won't let go of that hand.
Follow her!
Did Lord Sambong order this?
Or was it Yeon Hee?
What did you see and what did you hear?
I didn't hear anything.
Then what should I do...
If you heard anything, I was going to kill you.
I can't just trust your words.
All right... this should be a good idea.
In order to form an alliance with Moomyung
I met with someone from Moomyung at Biguk Temple.
Now you heard clearly, didn't you?
Moo Hyool, kill her.
Your Highness...
What are you doing?
Do I really have to kill her?
Then what should we do?
"Don't do it next time."
"Be careful."
Then should I release her?
Then she will run to Hwasadan right away
and tell everything to Sambong or Yeon Hee.
That Prince Jeongan formed an alliance with Moomyung...
Would that be better?
No, I mean...
Fine. Then you should think more.
And take care of this matter based on your own judgment.
Seriously! What are you doing?
Is it even worth your hesitation?
You already killed over a few dozens at Dohwa Mansion.
- This is a different situation. - How is this different?
If you kill her, you will live. If you can't kill her, you will die.
Just because we don't kill her, we will die?
There may be a worse situation than the deaths of His Highness and us.
Let's say that you killed her.
Prince Uian, Yi Bang Seok
will be appointed as the Crown Prince of this country.
Prince Uian?
Also, Prime Minister Jung Do Jeon
will take charge of the education of the Crown Prince.
Lord Sambong will even take charge of educating the Crown Prince?
Next, we will discuss the appointment of contributors.
Lord Jung Do Jeon, read my instruction on
the contributors in the foundation of the country.
Minister of the Left, Jo Joon Prime Minister, Jung Do Jeon
Minister of the Central Department, Lee Ji Ran
supported me while the ruling of the Goryeo Dynasty was chaotic
and have trusted me to this date without a change of heart.
Therefore, their support is worthy of praise.
Pardon? This doesn't make sense.
Prince Uian will become the Crown Prince?
You already knew about it?
Is Prince Uian even the eldest son?
Has he made any contributions?
My dear...
lower your voice.
Does it not upset you?
- Is that true? - Really?
- People will hear us! - How does it make any sense?
Why is it so noisy?
I hear that a notice is up at the market...
- A notice? - Yes.
But we believe it's wrong.
What does it say?
It is a notice to announce the
contributors in foundation of the country...
and people swarmed like a flock of birds.
How is it that neither your name nor the other princes' names
are included on the list?
This is...
This is not appropriate treatment.
Do you really think that way?
Just as your contribution cannot offset the anger
it is the same the other way around as well.
Lord Sambong...
Pardon me. Please don't be so disappointed.
Lee Shin Jeok also had a different attitude
regarding the matter of Doomoon-dong.
Officer Choon Gil is appointed as Chief of the third rank.
You will continue to protect His Majesty in the future.
Moo Hyool is appointed as
officer of the sixth rank for the Weaponry Bureau.
Weaponry Bureau...
Officer Jo Young Kyu is recognized as the contributor of the second rank.
Also, Jo Young Kyu is appointed as the Chief of the Office of Protocol.
Pardon?
Yes.
Lord Sambong took charge of educating the Crown Prince
and became the Commander of the Royal Guards!
What did you say?
He seized the military power completely.
Lord Sambong already has a sole right on Finance and Personnel.
But now, even authority over military force?
This country has fallen into the hands of Sambong.
How many government posts does he have?
Forgive me.
The reason you were not recongized as a contributor
seems to only be because of me.
Recognition is not important.
I am fine with it, but I am worried about you.
Did anyone who is close to me not get recognition?
That's not the case.
Jo Young Kyu is recognized as a contributor.
There is definitely something odd about this.
The fact that Prince Uian became the Crown Prince...
And what also makes no sense at all is
that Young Master Bang Won was not on the list of contributors.
I've lived all my life with a sword in the army
but I became the Chief of the Office of the Protocol.
And you're an officer for the Weaponry Bureau!
Isn't this strange?
But I am still in the military.
Hey!
Do you know what you will do at the Weaponry Bureau?
You manage the inventory when the arms come in.
Seriously... do you even know how to do calculations?
Of course I do.
- Calculations? - Really!
No, it is strange. This is really strange.
- Boon Yi? - Yes, sir.
I'd like you to send Boon Yi home now.
Why is that?
The market contacts are still checking on the important people's whereabouts.
They are keeping an eye on who meets with whom
and who goes to whose houses.
This is reported to Boon Yi at every moment
and Boon Yi manages them.
I am sure she does, since that is how it's been done so far.
The problem is that the information now goes to Prince Jeongan.
Moreover, the group expanded with the funds from the Min Family.
I have been thinking about that issue.
The people in the group follow Boon Yi's lead.
Boon Yi has a dangerous weapon that does not suit her class or status.
This is not good for Boon Yi either.
- Were you looking for me? - Yes.
Are you not going to take a government post after all?
How could I possibly wear a government robe?
Please withdraw your offer.
But Prince Jeongan wasn't even recognized as a contributor--
Since Prince Uian was appointed as the Crown Prince
Prince Jeongan has become a threatening power to the Crown Prince.
We have to weaken Prince Jeongan's power for stability.
Then what about Boon Yi?
Boon Yi continues to work for Prince Jeongan.
What will you do about my Boon Yi?
We were also talking about that now.
Do you really have to do this?
A new country has been founded...
so why do we have to...
Once the country was founded
he said there would be complicated matters in order to stabilize it.
There would be a threatening power, too...
Although I didn't know it would be Prince Jeongan.
What did Prince Jeongan do wrong?
It's not a matter of doing something wrong.
But if Prince Jeongan holds a different thought from His Majesty and Lord Sambong
then he will really be our enemy.
Let's send Boon Yi home.
Ddang Sae...
What about you?
We've only just begun.
I still have too much work to do.
I'd also like you to stay.
I can't stand it anymore!
I've never seen anyone else who doesn't look good in the robes before!
Have you ever seen one, sire?
This is not the first time for me.
I have seen someone before.
Who was he?
Uncle Ji Ran.
Please stop laughing!
It's so awkward for me, I can't stand it.
Still...
Don't I look a little better than Young Kyu?
Moo Hyool!
- Moo Hyool! - Grandma.
Oh my...
- Oh my goodness... - Grandma!
Sis! Sister!
Seriously!
My goodness...
Grandma... Please don't cry.
Are you that happy?
Why are you crying on a happy day? Stop!
Trainer Song... Thank you so much...
Who knew that I'd get to see Moo Hyool in a government robe before I died?
My goodness, it's all thanks to you! Thank you so much, Trainer Song!
It is appropriate to thank me, but still, stop!
I'm so proud of you, Moo Hyool!
I'd like to protect you with my sincere heart, Young Master.
As I protect you, and you get to make people smile...
I would also like to feel that it was worthwhile.
So please make me your official guard.
Moo Hyool... kill her.
Do I really have to kill her?
She was keeping an eye on Prince Jeongan.
She left to follow Prince Jeongan last night
but she didn't come back, so we went out to search for her.
And someone did this to her.
It was done by Prince Jeongan.
What is this?
A line is crossed on the letter "Myung" with the meaning of "Name."
"Name"...
It is not a name...
It has no name?
Moomyung? (Nameless)
How could you laugh right now?
How does this make sense at all?
What do you mean?
It doesn't make sense that Prince Uian is the Crown Prince.
And it makes no sense that no princes were on the list of contributors!
- Right now, in this situation... - Yes, Your Highness.
What makes the least sense is...
that you became the Chief of the Office of Protocol.
Seriously, please stop!
It really is strange...
What's going to happen now?
By appointing Young Kyu as the Chief of the Office of Protocol
he is keeping you separate from me.
He is making Moo Hyool manage the arms in the Weaponry Bureau
and stealing your power from me.
Pardon me.
Are we and Lord Sambong really...
Spies from Hwasadan even followed us last night.
They're already considering us to be an enemy!
Excuse me, Your Highness.
Prince Yeongan and Prince Hwean are here to see you, sire.
To be honest, I wouldn't have minded if either of you became the Crown Prince.
Brother, how could you say that?
If Bang Woo wouldn't do it
of course it would be yours to take as the second son!
Yes. But Bang Seok became the Crown Prince.
It is not easy to comprehend.
You followed Father since you were little
and devoted your whole life to the battlefield.
When we were fighting against General Choi Young
you were the one who pushed through Sungin Gate!
Not only the title of Crown Prince
but you were robbed of recognition as a contributor!
What sort of ridiculous news is this?
That's why he did not become the Crown Prince.
What do you mean by that?
Bang Gwa has too much blood on his hands.
Father and Lord Sambong probably looked for
a crown prince who would be suitable for the new, clean country.
What the heck are you saying?
Are you saying that Bang Seok should be the Crown Prince?
Because we are dirty?
Of course not.
Anyway, since the last son became the Crown Prince
we will become threatening to them regardless of our own intention.
That's why we should come together!
You are right.
When we consider our mother who has passed away
this doesn't seem proper.
Did you want to see me?
The time came sooner than I thought.
What do you mean?
The time that you need to make a choice.
Our spy who was following Prince Jeongan is dead.
Your group followed Prince Jeongan.
But the spy left a note as she died...
and it was "Moomyung."
Either she saw or heard that Prince Jeongan
had met with Moomyung right before her death.
Also, Prince Hwean and Prince Yeongan
came together at Prince Jeongan's house, right?
Lord Ha Ryoon and Lord Min Je must've stopped by as well.
Yeon Hee...
are you keeping an eye on Gyeongdeok House now?
That's what you also do, Boon Yi.
Yeon Hee, we've never followed Lord Sambong or Lord Nam Eun.
If Prince Yeongan became the Crown Prince, it would've been different.
But His Majesty and Lord Sambong
appointed Prince Uian as the Crown Prince.
- And they made the decision. - What decision?
Prince Yeongan, Prince Igan, Prince Hwean, Prince Jeongan...
The decision to take away all of the power from the princes.
With the exception of His Majesty and the Crown Prince
no one should have a different ambition.
Yeon Hee...
Prince Jeongan supported and wanted this plan to work more than anyone else.
And he worked hard to realize it more than anyone else.
But since the new country that he so longed for was founded
he hasn't been allowed to do anything!
For such an exceptional person, is it appropriate that he cannot do anything?
Why?
Why do you think from his perspective?
You are a commoner.
What would you like me to do?
Lord Sambong said he would give you
part of land that he received as a contributor.
So you should go there.
Then what about the people in my group?
The ones who remain here don't have land.
Hwasadan will manage them, or they will become a part of the State Tribunal.
I will take charge of it and get it done.
It may also be better for them.
So... you should go, Boon Yi.
I hope you listen to me.
I'm sure you will have to think about this...
but if you hesitate in a situation like this, it's dangerous
for you and the people around you.
What about my brother and you?
I still have work to do.
You should live only for your happiness now.
Don't be used in political fights like this anymore.
Bang Ji.
What would you like me to do?
I really don't know.
Ddang Sae.
For us to fight like this...
Just how much of it is for the world and how much of it is for us?
I don't know anything at all.
But you will still remain for Lord Sambong.
I will remain.
But...
We had no choice but to shed blood as we began the country.
But it is His Majesty's earnest wish that the Crown Prince
without blood on his hands, succeeds the throne.
It's not that I don't understand that wish.
So please don't be upset anymore, Woojae.
There is nothing to be upset over for me.
It's just that there are many matters that require bold decisions.
But since such a young Crown Prince has been appointed
it is just frustrating.
"Matters that require bold decisions"?
Will you leave the Wang Family as they are now?
With His Majesty's mercy
we left the royal family and relatives as they are.
It's because His Majesty was worried about public support...
You are aware that public support could turn for the worse because of them!
And?
Most people in Gaegyeong benefited from the previous Goryeo dynasty.
If His Majesty shows any weakness
they will miss the previous royal court right away.
Then the public support will become more chaotic!
Then...
should we kill all of them?
That was your thought from the beginning.
Then would you request it to His Majesty with me?
That must've been nice!
- Please try this. - Thank you so much!
I was getting thirsty, so thank you.
I took some to the soldiers outside.
The rice malt drink came out very well. Please try more.
I've had enough.
Isn't it too stifling and difficult for you?
Compared to the past...
this place feels like paradise to me.
Yes...
You have gone through a lot.
- I am sorry. - Please don't ever say that again.
I am alive, and you are healthy.
The rice drink is sweet, and the floor is warm.
What else could I wish for?
Prince Uian became the Crown Prince after all, but--
Soon, Sambong's attack will begin.
Prince Jeongan has to endure it.
Prince Jeongan is one issue...
but shouldn't we also prepare for the fight that's about to come?
Yes, we have to reestablish the lost intelligence group
and straighten the battle line.
How is it proceeding on Hwado Group?
They must've arrived in Kanggye with Yooksan by now.
[Mansang Merchant Group]
It is surprising when you think about it.
I had never imagined that Mansang Merchants
would belong to our organization.
Starting from here, we have to connect all of Hwado Group.
It is Moogook's wish to replace Hwasadan with this.
Yes, sir.
What is it?
Have you already decided... which side you will stand with?
Sambong?
Or is it me?
Sire...
Don't say it.
Your voice makes me nervous somehow.
Take more time to think about it.
With all due respect...
you already have...
contributed a lot in the process of founding the country. Therefore--
Don't say it.
In the new country...
could you possibly remain as a prince and live a comfortable life?
What?
You...
You, not anyone else...
What did you say?
What did you say that I should do?
You said that you were on my side.
You said you would be on my side! You even slapped me!
You told me that I had to do something as long as I lived.
But... I shouldn't do anything while I am alive and full of energy?
Not anyone else, but you, Boon Yi!
No... Never mind.
It's not like I will take responsibility for your life anyway.
If you choose Sambong...
we will point swords at each other and I will not hesitate to slay you.
You know that, don't you?
Yes.
You would do that.
So make your choice.
While I still offer you the chance to make a choice!
It sounds like if I don't choose Your Highness...
you are going to kill me.
Please...
Can't you hear it as, "Please, choose me"?
Can't you hear it as, "I desperately want you"?
You should have a wedding.
Take in Boon Yi as a concubine.
It is the safe and sure way.
Ma'am.
Boon Yi, didn't I tell you before?
That we should gather our strength for my husband.
My dear...
let us speak in private.
My dear.
The movement of people in Gaegyeong is more important now than any other time.
But if Boon Yi leaves, this group will be handed over to Lord Sambong.
What will happen if this is taken away from us?
While we have no grasp on anything
do you want to be run over by Lord Sambong with our eyes open?
Boon Yi, my husband needs you and your group.
Please stay.
If you would allow me...
a little more time...
Until then, since we are receiving funds from here...
we will continue the work.
Four-seom of rice, three-pil of linen...
If I save this up for about a year...
Does he get that much?
Why did Bang Ji refuse a government post?
You're getting me confused!
How much do I have to save up to open a pub?
Moo Hyool has a government post, so why would you open a pub?
If he stays with Prince Jeongan all his life
government posts will continue to follow him.
No, I should open a pub soon and make Moo Hyool quit his job.
Why?
It's too dangerous.
It's dangerous work to begin with...
and it looks like he'll get tangled up in the fight
among the ones in the higher ranks!
But how can a man live running a pub and having such a boring life?
Boring? Such an immature girl! My goodness, what?
Boon Yi, they're saying that they'll give you some rewards, right?
Take them and quit this place right away!
What about the people in our group?
I'm sure they'll decide what's good for themselves.
You can't take responsibility for that much.
Honestly, how will you take care of them to the end
when they are not even your family?
I don't believe that's right.
My goodness, what did we do about the heat? Did we let it die?
- Goodness! - Really!
- Such a memory for a young girl! - Let's hurry!
What do we do?
My goodness...
Abandoning the ones who are precious to you...
Being the enemy of the ones who are precious to you...
Stop now if you are not prepared for it.
Don't pretend as if you are living for the world.
If you can't do it...
just live for yourself.
Don't look at the world!
- Are you being jealous? - Being jealous?
How could you make such a relaxed comment?
Lord Sambong has seized every power in this country.
If it is at all helpful to you at a time like this
you should take in even a hundred concubines!
It is an urgent situation where we don't know
if Lord Sambong will start his attack on you tomorrow!
Are there really that many people who became slaves for unjustified reasons?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Therefore, it is urgent to investigate and return them to commoners.
Minister of the Left, you should establish
the Office of Slaves and resolve the issue.
Sire, have you reviewed the item that I submitted?
Do you think this is the right time to proceed with this matter?
Yes, I believe this is the most urgent matter for national defense.
I understand.
Then, Lord Jung Do Jeon...
I order you to take the duty of Special Commander
and leave for the border right away.
Yes, I receive Your Majesty's command
and will rectify the defense of the border.
I will return after I also review the
administrative district of the northern region.
He is going to the border as soon as he takes over military power?
What on Earth do you have in mind, Sambong?
Sambong is going to the northern region?
I thought he would attack us right away.
Isn't Father working to control Sambong?
No... there is something odd about this.
Northern region at this time?
- Sambong is? - Yes.
He was given the duty of Special Commander
and is headed to the northern region.
Immediately after he grabbed hold of the military power in his hands
he is going to the border?
Yes. It is an unexpected move.
Meet with Prince Jeongan.
Now you've become bold and decided to visit me?
Why? I am an intelligence merchant that everyone in Gaegyeong knows.
Since Lord Sambong works with Hwasadan
it is very natural that Biguk Temple will attach itself to Prince Jeongan.
Sure. What brought you here?
There is one reason.
What would Sambong have on his mind?
What would be your thoughts, sire?
Did an intelligence merchant come to buy information from me?
I'd like to suggest that we should think about it together.
I received a message from Mansang Merchant Group in Kanggye.
They were successful in arranging a meeting.
I see. You've done well.
Who would you be meeting with?
I will meet with one of the tribe leaders of the Jurchen.
- Will you go across the border? - That's right.
I'm surprised that they were able to set it up.
Mansang Merchant Group in Kanggye used to trade with Cho Young.
I see.
I told them that you are the leader of Saryang Merchant Group of Haeju.
Saryeong Merchant Group?
Do you know about Saryeong Merchant Group?
It is a merchant group in Haeju, but I don't know them in person.
Hwasadan is pretty much Jung Do Jeon's now.
And he may be plotting something.
Yes, we should keep an eye on the leader of Saryeong Merchant Group.
Yes, ma'am.
No, introduce me to him.
I will find out if I ask him personally.
If you steal at the market again like you used to, I will kick you out right away!
I won't! You're just saying that...
Will you or will you not?
You have to hold back even if you feel anxious with your hands!
I don't feel anxious!
You came!
Excuse me, Mister.
You and others could take care of the group even if I weren't around, right?
What is this out of nowhere?
If I leave...
I would like you to take over my seat.
Where are you going?
No, just in case. If it happens.
If I had to, I would be able to do it...
But you should be here.
Of course, you have to be here.
But why did you bring it up?
No, I will tell you later.
Have someone follow Lord Sambong.
The one who used to keep an eye on Prince Jeongan was murdered.
And she left "Moomyung" as her last words.
Does Bang Won really...
Reasons to strike down Moomyung keep increasing.
I searched through history books
and found that Yeom Jong operated a merchant group called Hwado Group
and an intelligence group called Heukmyungdan
in various places in the country and even Sui and Tang.
Hwado... Hwado Merchant Group?
Yes, they were the letters for rice plant and sword...
Given the circumstances
the Merchant Group seems to be related to Yeom Jong's remnants.
How is it progressing with the work that your Myojakdan took charge of?
Myojakdan?
I planted someone you recommended, so we will see results soon.
You have told Sambong about Master Yeom Jong before?
I have.
Then... was it the reason Sambong took History of Shilla from Bomoongak?
You know about that, too?
Yes. There is no place that our Moomyung's hand does not reach.
Are there also Moomyung among the court maids?
I thought it was odd.
A powerful man with authority over Personnel, Finance, Dodang
and even military force...
But he even took charge of Bomoongak which takes care of books.
Sambong is investigating the beginning of Moomyung.
Are you telling us to follow Lord Sambong?
Lord Sambong is heading to the border.
Keep an eye on his every move.
Find out who he meets with and what he does and report back to me.
Are you not going to answer me?
Pardon me, ma'am...
You said that you'd continue your work until you were done with your thoughts.
My husband was kind enough to let you choose.
Do you need anything more?
Yes, I understand. I will follow your order.
All right.
Seriously... what's this now?
It has to be someone unknown in order to follow Lord Sambong.
Who would be good?
Well, I guess Chil Bok and...
He would be perfect.
Seon Dol is too young.
I'm not that young!
And I know how to read better than anyone here.
I have to write down everything he has done.
He is smarter than he looks.
Boon Yi, don't worry. I'll do well.
When I come back, my pay will also increase.
Please ask Uncle Chil Bok to come.
- Is this Mansang Merchant Group? - Yes, it is.
This Merchant Group set it up.
From now on, I'm the leader of Saryang Merchant Group.
- Don't make a mistake. - I understand.
Oh, you came!
Yes, it's been a long time since I last saw you.
This is the leader of Saryang Merchant Group.
Nice to meet you.
You've come a long way.
Tribe Chief Moenpa of the Jurchen thanked you for the gift.
He was very happy and wished for a good trade.
Thank you for the introduction.
Please come inside.
- Did they go in there? - Yes, they did.
Then write it down clearly.
Yes.
Moenpa has arrived at the halfway point.
I believe you can leave now.
This is the place.
I wish you success in your deal.
Thank you.
Thank you for agreeing to the trade.
He is the leader of Saryang Merchant Group.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for your gift.
He says he is glad to meet you and thanked you for the gift.
It is a humble gift. I was hoping for a successful trade.
What do you want to sell?
Is it silk and ginseng, I assume?
It is not.
It's freezing.
We crossed the border, right?
They look like the Jurchen.
Just hurry up and write it down.
That he crossed the border and went into some barracks.
Yes.
I have no goods.
What? You don't?
If you don't have goods to sell, why did you come here?
What I am going to sell is land, not goods.
Land?
It is a wide land with rich soil on the east of Liao River, north of Shimyang.
What? What on Earth is he saying?
You came here to fight!
I said, I came to trade.
I came to trade land, not goods!
How can you possibly sell the land north of Shimyang?
You're not a leader of a merchant group, are you?
Of course I can.
Who are you?
The king has given me full authority of the new country, Joseon.
I am Chief of the Personnel, Minister of Finance
Prime Minister, Chair of Assembly...
Are you... Sambong Jung Do Jeon, by any chance?
He knows you, sir.
I have wanted to see you!
Although I have never met him...
I admire the King of Joseon, Yi Seong Gye.
Then... should we start the trade?
Thanks to you, the trade went very well.
Goodness, you even had it stamped.
Yes, he was very easy to work with.
Oh, you came from Haeju.
Someone I know would really like to see you
and ask you questions in a private meeting.
Why don't you have a cup of tea before you leave?
- Oh, but we are-- - It will only take a moment.
Please, here. Please this way.
Please wait here. I will bring him over.
Did it go well?
I can't say it's a done deal only with this
but we took a good first step.
Now I have to meet the 11 tribe chiefs of the Jurchen one by one.
- Were you surprised earlier? - I had my guesses...
but is it truly all right to proceed with it?
I have no thoughts to rush it.
I will do it step by step.
What is wrong?
Is it not this merchant group's seal?
Seal?
Break this open.
- Sir. - Hurry!
How is this...
This is my acquaintance.
Is that right?
I am the leader of Saryang Merchant Group in Haeju.
Jung Do Jeon... How is he...
Are you the members of Moomyung?

This Merchant Group is certainly Moomyung!
Arrest everyone in the Merchant Group right now.
Sambong found out. This place is no longer a secret.
Did Lord Sambong make a secret agreement with a tribe chief of the Jurchen?
Someone stole the documents that they exchanged.
What do you mean? They were stolen?
You know what this red envelope is. I'd like to make a deal now.
Do you think I would do a bad job if I took charge of this country?
I will finish it quickly for you so that you can lose your greed, sire.
