Episode 37
From the start...
From the start, in this great work,
there was no place for me.
You're right.
There was no place for you in this great work from the start.
But...
you've created a place for yourself.
The assassin who killed Jung Mong Joo.
That will be your place.
What happened to Master Jung Mong Joo?
What happened to him?
Master Jung Mong Joo...
passed away.
Then...
(Chuk Sa Gwang)
How about His Majesty?
I guess he's not in a very good place right now.
Is he alive?
I am sure he's fine.
Soon, he will step down from the throne.
That's good news.
Why didn't you kill me?
You didn't kill me either.
Back in Byeokrando and in the marketplace...
(Moo Hyul)
You could've easily killed me.
Why did you...
become a swordsman?
Because I want to protect those who are precious to me.
Because I want to protect my dream.
It's the same for me.
I want to protect those who are precious to me...
and my dream.
Will you take a revenge...
for Master Jung Mong Joo?
I will not take any revenge.
My dream is...
to go back to the time before His Majesty succeeded the throne.
If it weren't for Master Jung Mong Joo,
he would have never even succeeded the throne.
Living peacefully...
with His Majesty is...
my only dream.
Unless someone tries to hurt me,
I never fight with anyone.
Sa Gwang!
Now, we have to hang Jung Mong Joo's head in the marketplace...
and proclaim him as the traitor.
My fellow.
I wanted to win the support of the people and...
establish a new country.
However, the death of Jung Mong Joo ruined...
the support we gained from the land reform.
But we can't hang Master Jung Mong Joo's head.
What's the use of looking back at something we can't undo?
We must carry it forward quickly and strongly.
We have to quickly dethrone the King and establish the new country.
Do you understand?
Jung Mong Joo is gone,
and I don't even know what happened to Yun Rang.
It's over now.
Your Majesty,
Jo Joon, Nam Eun and Jeong Do Jeon are here.
Bring them in.
Your Majesty,
Jung Mong Joo used his cunning tricks...
to falsely accuse innocent people...
and to receive orders from you to execute them.
Also, he planned treason.
Yes. General Lee Seong Gye's fifth son Lee Bang Won...
dealt with him and stopped the treason.
Hence, please give us the order...
to hang Jung Mong Joo's head in the market place...
and to proclaim him as a traitor.
- Please give us the order. - Please give us the order.
Please bestow your royal grace.
When will you take...
the royal seal?
There is a right order to everything.
Please wait.
I didn't want to be a king.
Arrest those who are putting up the foul posters.
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
Arrest them all!
His Majesty has ordered...
to hang the head of the traitor, Jung Mong Joo.
Anyone revolting against it...
will be considered a traitor,
and his life will be taken.
(Nam Eun)
Do you understand?
- Yes. - Yes.
I can be stronger.
Bang Ji's moves have changed.
He's copying the Goksan Method.
(Hong Dae Hong)
Oh, the Goksan Method.
Right. That was it.
What are you doing here?
Master Sambong wants to see all of you.
It must be about Master Bang Won.
People in the market are demanding that he should be executed.
Are they saying he should have just died there?
How can they do this?
He is waiting for you. Hurry up.
What are you waiting for? Moo Hyul, hurry up.
We should take action without any delay.
Ask Hwasadan to spread a rumour among members of the nobility.
Please tell me what to do.
Tell them General Lee was so furious that he threw an inkstone...
at Bang Won and Bang Won got injured on the head.
Don't you have a scar...
from when your big brother beat you?
Start a rumour that it was also caused by General Lee.
Also, tell them that General Lee cried...
for three days after he did that.
Add that his family couldn't sleep because of it.
Understood?
Yes, Master.
Boon Yi, you should also try to spread it...
as much as possible using the organisation.
Emphasise...
that it was done on Bang Won's own judgement.
What do you mean?
We're soon going to establish a new country.
What I mean is that Bang Won should be left out of the process.
General Lee, who is going to be the King of the new country,
should appear innocent of murdering Jung Mong Joo.
We have to make up a cause by all means.
I'm not sure if I fully understand this.
(Boon Yi)
He killed him to save his own life.
Isn't that...
a good enough reason?
If we were going to achieve this by force,
on the day when we got rid of Jo Min Soo at Dohwajeon,
we could have occupied Manwoldae right away.
No matter how long it takes,
we've been always putting efforts, persuading,
discussing and trying to embrace others so far.
However,
all our efforts ended in vain.
The new country,
sadly,
has started with the sword.
To make up for this,
in addition to Bang Won taking responsibility,
we also...
should bear the consequences.
Still...
Bang Won, do you understand?
Yes.
Of course.
That's absurd.
He's right.
It was my decision to kill Jung Mong Joo.
Did you do that for your own interests?
Did you do that for fame?
Master Sambong...
is not ordering to start a rumour...
saying that I killed Jung Mong Joo...
for my own interests.
I,
On my own judgement,
killed Jung Mong Joo.
Lee Bang Won...
murdered...
the last faithful subject of Goryeo,
Jung Mong Joo.
It had nothing to do with General Lee Seong Gye.
This is what the rumour should be about.
There's nothing wrong about it.
Master.
If that's the price I should pay,
I will.
And that's what separates me from Sambong or my father.
I don't avoid my responsibilities.
It'll be okay. You don't have to worry.
I heard about it.
You should ignore...
all the criticism and accusation.
(Min Da Gyung)
Just focus on what to do next.
I'm planning to do that.
Boon Yi.
Find out who put up the posters...
demanding my execution.
- Sorry? - What are you going to do?
You can't do this.
She's right.
You should be careful.
I just want to know.
From now on,
I should be aware of my own enemies.
It's been so long since I last saw you, Master.
Young Gyoo.
I heard you did a good job.
Sorry?
Jung Mong Joo.
Oh, right.
Good job.
When you smashed his head,
didn't it feel amazing?
Yes.
Where's Bang Won?
- Master Jung Mong Joo. - Master.
- We can't let you go like this. - I can't believe this.
This is not right.
How...
can this...
be possible?
How can Jung Mong Joo...
(Lee Saek)
How can this be...
the end of his life?
You're right.
This is...
(Woo Hak Joo)
This is utterly absurd.
Showing up here...
might cause misunderstanding.
You jerk!
Do you think...
you'll be safe after doing this to Jung Mong Joo?
I don't think so.
Also, I've never wanted...
to live a safe life.
Your fate...
will be more brutal than Jung Mong Joo's.
You'll...
die even more miserably than Jung Mong Joo.
Right. That may happen.
But you won't get to witness it.
You...
don't have much time left.
Tell Lee Sin Jeok to add Woo Hak Joo...
to the list of the officials to be impeached.
He's already on the list.
You told us to add Lee Jong Hak, Woo Hong Soo, Lee Seung In,
Kim Jin Yang and Woo Hak Joo yesterday.
Did I say that?
Then we have 56 in total.
They shouldn't be in Gaegyeong around the enthronement.
They shouldn't...
Are you all right? What's wrong?
I'm fine. It's nothing.
I'm okay.
Will you be able to eat?
I should.
I have to eat no matter what.
He must be tortured even though he doesn't show it.
I'll see you later.
Excuse me, we'd like some soup.
Sure. Go in.
- Let's go in. - I'm okay.
Okay.
Master Sambong.
It's been a while.
Yeon Yang... The court lady!
Just like you have a new title,
I'm not a court lady any longer.
What happened?
You've changed a lot.
What has happened?
By any chance,
are you in Moo Myung?
That's right.
Are you aware your children are looking for you?
Your son is outside right now.
I know. Don't call him.
Why?
I'm here to have a talk with you.
Relax now.
She just wants to have a talk. With your leader.
- Who is this person? - Our leader.
You've gotten even speedier.
(Gil Sun Mi)
Being young is great. You youngsters can improve your skills like this.
- If you harm him in any way... - I won't.
So don't worry and relax.
If you get into a fight with me here,
the situation might become more dangerous.
I might not be the only opponent you'd have to defeat.
What is that noise outside?
My bodyguard must be greeting your guard.
Nothing will happen.
So a new regime will begin soon.
- Are you against it? - No.
Why did you try to stop us then?
We weren't like that at the beginning.
When we first found out about your plan,
we were cheering for you in excitement.
We tried to help you as well.
Until we found out about it, that is.
Are you speaking of the Equal Land Distribution System?
The Equal Land Distribution System. The Nine-square Field System.
Regardless of its name, the problem is...
abolishing private land ownership.
You already burned the land registers.
Please stop at the new Land Law.
You should forget about the Nine-square Field System.
It sounds like your organisation owns a lot of land.
These changes must've caused damages to your group.
There are many people in my organisation,
so some of them are landowners,
but most of them are not.
- Then why does it matter? - It's because of our belief.
Human beings pursue their gains, and the world follows their trails.
That is our belief.
However, your new regime...
denies the great greed of human for personal gains.
Great greed?
Your plan to abolish private land ownership fundamentally blocks...
the human desire for owning more properties.
That very desire is what got Goryeo into this dire situation.
It's because of the private land ownership system.
So? Will you push through with the Nine-square Field System?
In that system, an equal size of land will be distributed to...
each person, and no one will be able to broaden the size of the land.
Because no one will be allowed to broaden the size of the given land,
no one will get any of his or her land stolen.
We came up with the concept of private land ownership.
The entire land of the kingdom was thought to belong to the king...
as well as to the kingdom a few hundreds years ago.
My organisation harvested wastelands...
and implemented the private land ownership system.
And?
As a result, people went mad for harvesting wastelands...
because of their desire for owning their own lands.
Consequently, the amount of farmland increased drastically, and...
the land of the Samhan could enjoy unprecedented prosperity.
People's desires created the path...
to abundance.
What came after that abundance though?
Who benefited from the abundance?
The powerful families and temples... became in possession of...
over 70 percent of the kingdom's land.
The people were kicked out of their hometowns...
because they don't own any land. They either starved to death...
or have been dying slow deaths after becoming servants.
So, how is it a great thing?
Do you truly think that desire is a great thing?
Human beings can endure a great deal of pain...
and work hard in order to fulfil their desires for gains.
Such desire is what enabled improvements in our history.
It can also propel us further.
The world that is to come will be different.
Humans' desire for gains will be replaced by...
Neo-Confucianist ideals.
In this new regime, every person will become a man of virtue.
Hence, no one will be heartbroken for getting things stolen,
and no one will even think of stealing other people's possessions.
That is the world I wish to create.
It doesn't look like you will give up.
Of course not.
From land and markets in the country to all trade-related activities,
the government must control all desires and greed for these matters.
That way, the poison from such desires...
will not be allowed to hurt people.
I understand your intentions.
If that is the case...
We don't have much power,
but we'll do what we can do...
to try to stop you.
It looks like their talk is finished.
I hope it went well.
I shall see you again.
What happened? Are you okay?
Gil Sun Mi was outside.
We'll do what we can...
to try to stop you.
I know.
They are from Moo Myung.
(Lee Bang Ji)
I will do a better job of protecting you from now on.
- Bang Ji. - Yes.
Your mother is Moo Myung's...
Boon Yi told me that she met our mum.
She told Boon Yi that she has abandoned us...
and that we shouldn't look for her.
So I'll forget her too.
How did it go?
There will be a war now.
Please keep a watchful eye on Lee Bang Won.
- Okay. - And...
look for Chuk Sa Gwang who is said to have disappeared.
Why am I looking at this now? I can't even read.
How did it go?
We got it.
All right. Let's change the sky of this kingdom now.
Of course.
Starting with the sky, we should change our land and the people.
We will start fresh in every aspect.
Yes. This day is finally here.
You've been working very hard for this.
The real work begins now.
- Let's start. - Yes, Master.
Jungchang, your baffling actions,
which were against the code of conduct,
have made many of your subjects and relatives betray you.
As a result, you could not govern the kingdom properly.
Due to your great failure, you are dethroned by the heaven's will.
That is what the thousands of people in this kingdom wish for.
Please become a father to our tens and thousands of people.
The throne must belong to a man of true virtue,
and we cannot leave it empty for a long time.
Please take the throne...
and stabilise the people's lives.
- Hail to the King! - Hail to the King!
(Lee Seong Gye, the first king of Joseon)
The king has been thrown out.
The king?
What will happen to Goryeo?
By the way, Chuk Sa Gwang is staying low.
Everyone was scared that...
she will come to take revenge on us.
Well, what could she do on her own?
I know.
I won't take any revenge.
Unless someone tries to hurt me,
I don't fight with anyone.
Living peacefully...
with His Majesty is...
my only dream.
By the way, how does that Chuk Sa Gwang girl look like?
Does she look threatening?
No.
She doesn't.
Minister of Military Affairs...
and Chief Officer of the Royal Guard,
Nam Eun.
Left State Official...
and the Leader of the Five Provinces,
Jo Joon.
Official of State Council, Lee Ji Ran.
Official of Civil Service, Min Je.
And,
Minister of Human Affairs,
Minister of Financial Affairs,
Chairman of the government agency...
and Prime Minister,
Jeong Do Jeon.
I am afraid...
that I lack virtue...
to fulfil my responsibility.
That is my fear.
However, it was the people's...
and the heaven's will...
to put me on the throne.
I will try and find the ways to comfort the people in this nation...
if anything happens...
with these officials.
- Thank you for your royal grace. - Thank you for your royal grace.
I heard many officials have resigned, and...
there are many empty positions.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It must be tough for you to take multiple positions,
but I want you to fill the positions, Sambong.
Yes. We will hastily come up with the name of the country...
and organise the government.
When will you hold the state examination?
Among your founding principles for the new country,
I particularly liked the rule of filling every government position...
through the state examination.
Is that right, Your Majesty?
Until now, children of the powerful families...
who were under-qualified for the jobs...
filled the positions in the government...
and the military offices.
Now we must start over.
That is a reasonable order.
So, if the fact that everyone has the opportunity to become...
a government official regardless of the family...
or the background gets out to the people,
it will help a lot to regain the people's support...
that we lost.
Yes, Your Majesty. I will execute the plan right away.
The tax you collect from the farmlands must not...
exceed 540 litres for every 100 thousand ft².
That's how you should calculate the tax.
Yes, Sir.
The core of the government reform...
is on how to control officials' ambitions and...
on how to raise public concern.
Don't forget that at all times, and come up with...
a system that clearly states the division of role and authority.
Yes, Sir.
How is it going for the state examination?
I sent posts to every local government about it.
Also, I informed the scholars...
who teach all over the nation,
including the head of Sungkyunkwan.
Okay. Inform as many people as you can.
Make sure as many people as possible can take the exam.
Also, spread the news about the new military service exam.
Yes. Don't worry.
Is this it?
Yes. I brought only some of it.
Are these the books of Silla?
These are from Bomungak.
I will get you more people,
so secretly investigate these books.
However, do you really think...
we can find the traces of Moo Myung in these books?
Yeom Jong who rose in rebellion against the government...
used to be a wealthy merchant at the time, who used to...
deal with not only Baekje and Goguryeo but also Sui and Tang.
In his late years, he was deeply involved in politics as well.
There must be traces of him in the history.
Also, pay close attention to Moo Myung's symbol.
Okay. I will do that.
Is this it?
Yes.
Like you had told me, I evaluated people based on...
erudition, character, friendship, reputation and other standards...
and narrowed the list down.
They will be the pillars of our new organisation.
The most important thing is...
the spirit not to surrender to any threat and...
the upright character to stay out of corruption.
Yes. I am evaluating them based on those standards.
Also, you should assist Her Majesty well.
Her Majesty?
I've already told His Majesty.
Also, prepare Hwasadan to guard her.
Talk to her too.
Talk to her?
I see. Don't worry.
By the way, Master Sambong,
how do you plan to recover your relationship with Prince Jeongan?
Now he has more soldiers,
and his market communication group grew larger.
And he continues to get funds from the Min family.
Besides,
I heard even His Majesty doesn't see Prince Jeongan.
His Majesty...
is much more upright than me.
That worries me even more.
Can't you get past it, Master Sambong?
I guess...
you want to prove you were right.
You always have to have it your way.
That's how you are.
The assassin who killed Jung Mong Joo.
That will be...
your place.
That's...
not bad either.
Bang Won, Master Ha Ryun is here.
Don't look at me like that.
As a Confucian scholar, I was worried how I was...
going to serve two kings.
That's not it.
I was surprised that Master Sambong let you...
join the government again.
Well, that's because you killed Master Jung Mong Joo.
So many officials resigned...
that the government was almost empty.
I'm just saying the truth.
And His Majesty is still angry with you about it.
On the other hand, Master Sambong has four titles now.
He got another today.
He must have five now.
Another one?
He's now in charge of the agency, finance and appointment.
Once he takes charge of the military,
the whole country will be in Sambong's hands.
He's taking all the positions that were meant for Jung Mong Joo.
That won't happen.
When members of the nobility who resigned come back,
His Majesty will disperse power.
That's what most people are guessing.
That's never going to happen.
What do you mean?
I think...
I know what Master Sambong is thinking.
- What? - There are many...
Confucian scholars missing.
What do you mean?
Even their families don't know where they are.
Didn't they move back to their hometowns?
They were not there, either.
Then where could they be?
The scholars...
who put up posters demanding Prince Jeongan's execution?
Yes.
I chased after them...
and I found out they were passing this around.
This is a map.
Tongseong?
Do we have anyone dispatched there?
No, nothing ever happens in Tongseong.
Don't you think they're having meetings?
Leader Boon Yi.
The meeting at Janghyeongak has just finished.
Here's the list of attendees.
Okay.
Your writing has improved.
You're a good teacher.
Please take a look at this.
This has been passed around the scholars...
that had put up posters demanding your execution.
Tongseong?
Although it's outside the castle, it's not that far away.
Should we go there?
Even though I'm not the one who's taking the examination,
I'm getting nervous.
Are you?
So am I.
This is the first examination of this new country.
It's understandable you're excited.
Master Sambong has been working hard preparing for this.
I'm sure it'll go well.
As a matter of fact,
I wanted to talk to you.
Please go ahead, Your Majesty.
I heard that you're working so hard...
that you don't eat well...
or go home.
You have an important role in this country.
You have the right to dress well and live in comfort.
It's about time you moved out of that shabby house.
Officials eat food prepared by someone else...
and dress themselves in clothes made by someone else.
They shouldn't be wealthy.
Are you talking to me?
I'm not wealthy at all.
That's absurd.
Shall we go?
Tongseong starts here.
There's nothing much.
Moo Hyul, what's the matter?
Your Majesty, we have a little problem.
It'll be settled soon. Please come back later.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
So if you wait in your room, we'll soon...
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Will you come over here?
What could that be?
What is that?
Why are they on the trees?
- They hung the hats. - They hung the hats?
What does it mean?
When they hang their hats,
it means they resign from their positions.
This must be done collectively by those against this country.
Moo Hyul, follow him.
Yes, Master.
- Figure out the situation. - Okay.
Master.
Most of the scholars we've been looking for...
are missing.
Missing?
I suspect this is related to the examination incident.
They live together?
We followed the scholar...
and we found a large village in the middle of the mountain.
It seemed like there were 300 to 400 people living there.
More and more people were coming in.
Those against this country...
live together right next to Gaegyeong?
Boon Yi.
Report all of this to Master Sambong.
I think it was followers of Master Lee Saek and Jung Mong Joo...
that made them boycott the examination.
Do you think they threatened them?
There must have been no need for that.
Everyone must have already been angry.
They're trying to tarnish this country...
and question its legitimacy.
The missing scholars didn't go back to their hometowns.
They might be gathered somewhere and come up with a plan.
- A plan? - I don't know yet.
But such a large number of people disappeared so fast.
What would they be doing?
We found out where they are and what they're doing.
Where are they?
They're in Mount Gwangdeok south of Gaegyeong.
What are they doing there?
They're living together in a village.
What do you mean? Give us more details.
We found out they were passing a map around.
We started following them...
and when they arrived at Tongseong in Mount Gwangdeok,
they took off their hats...
and put on hats made with leaves and went to the village.
They took off their hats?
They are protesting to tell us that they do not approve...
of the new kingdom or the new king.
We cannot let them do this.
We have to.
It is not against any laws, so we cannot punish them in any way.
However, this is a very crucial moment for us,
so their actions could pose a serious threat to us.
If a rumour spreads about this, more people will gather.
As you already saw at the examination site,
we cannot predict what kind of collective behaviours will be next.
What did you say?
Not a single soul showed up for the examination,
and they've formed a village now?
That is correct.
I heard that the people...
call the village "Dumoon-dong".
Dumoon-dong?
It probably means "a village with a locked gate".
They are complete scums.
We cannot let them live like that right in front of our capital city.
I agree.
If they end up forming an ally with the Wang family,
the situation will worsen drastically.
Let's send soldiers there.
Let's catch them all.
But what will we accuse them of?
Is that even a question?
They are guilty of mocking the kingdom and causing a turmoil.
It's not like they're claiming that they've been falsely accused,
nor are they submitting an appeal to wrongly accuse us.
As we were founding this new kingdom,
we announced that it would be governed by laws and systems.
We cannot go against our promises.
However, if we don't take care of this,
more and more people will gather at Dumoon-dong.
That place, in and of itself,
will become a symbol that disproves the new kingdom.
Dumoon-dong.
You have kindly given titles to all of my siblings.
I'm truly grateful and honoured.
Why aren't Bang Woo and Bang Eui here?
Bang Eui is still in Hamju.
Bang Woo is feeling unwell,
so he is staying at Jebyeok-dong.
Is he still unwell?
I will visit him and see how he is doing.
Okay.
Bang Gan, I didn't see you for a long time.
How is everything going in Hamju?
There are no problems in Hamju.
There hasn't been any trouble north of the border either.
I see.
You've worked hard in absence of me and your older brothers.
Thank you for all of your hard work.
Please don't mention it.
Father, I heard that...
(Lee Bang Gan)
I heard that you are deeply concerned about what happened...
at the examination as well as about Dumoon-dong.
The government agency has been having meetings about it for days,
but we can't seem to arrive at a conclusion.
How can they be so fearless?
How can they act so disrespectfully right in front of our capital?
Because of what happened to their teacher whom they respected,
they probably want to do something against us.
Long time no see.
Yes, Your Highness.
His Majesty is greatly concerned because of the Dumoon-dong issue.
Yes. They're all talents who can help us strengthen the kingdom,
so I'm sure the King is deeply saddened.
Is there anything I can help with?
You want to help?
Yes.
I do not have any other intentions.
I feel that...
all of this is largely because of some of my immature decisions.
Hence, I wish to help in any way I can.
I am grateful for your offer.
However, how will you...
How about I persuade them...
to make them come back?
I will try to persuade them.
You're the one who took Mong Joo's life.
You'll try to persuade the scholars and former officials?
What are you thinking right now?
What will you do...
to persuade them?
Please.
Please let me try.
Are you confident that you can persuade them?
If I show them my earnest intention and do my very best,
I think that we could expect a positive outcome.
Right.
People say that one must take responsibility for what he has done.
It might not be a bad idea for you to try resolving the situation.
The new kingdom has been founded, so that place, Dumoon-dong,
should not exist.
I agree. However,
there are hundreds of scholars there,
and I will not be able to persuade all of them.
I will persuade whomever I can.
Some might absolutely refuse to be persuaded.
I will make sure that they can't stay at Dumoon-dong.
If you can do that for us,
it will help us tremendously.
Well then, thank you in advance.
What will you do now?
Those at Dumoon-dong...
think of you as their biggest enemy.
How in the world will you persuade them?
If I show them my earnest intention...
and do my best...
Bang Won.
Is he trying to win...
the King's heart back?
If the person who killed Mong Joo...
can persuade those scholars,
it will become a symbolic incident in and of itself.
However, how will he do it?
Do you have a plan?
I am well aware of your brightness.
I know that you wouldn't make a move without a plan.
Right. New ministers will be appointed shortly,
and the Crown Prince will be chosen soon too.
You should try to reconcile the King's anger before that.
I feel a west wind.
Did you say that Bang Won will try to persuade them?
Yes. If he is able to succeed,
the outcome will be better than anything we can expect.
Even if he can't succeed,
he will show them his earnest intention,
so it won't do us any harm.
Prince Jeongan left for Dumoon-dong today.
Let's wait and see.
We will head to Dumoon-dong's west gate.
You should go to the east gate.
- Okay. - Okay.
Let's go!
Prince Jeongan...
does not fear doing things that are difficult or complicated.
Hence, I think that we can expect a positive outcome.
Is he trying to succeed in this to make me forgive him?
Do it then.
If you can do this...
You murderer!
You are the one who took Master Jung Mong Joo's life.
How dare you show up here!
Do you think that we'll be...
willing to listen to any of your excuses?
I do not give excuses.
Then...
- why are you here? - Set this place on fire.
What?
Did he just tell us to set this place on fire?
What are you talking about now?
Aren't you here to persuade them?
I will make them leave this place first before I persuade them.
Some will leave while others will die.
I will only persuade those who get out of here.
Your Highness.
This is my way,
and this is my place.
I fell down on an excrement-filled field.
I cannot get back up without dirtying my hands with excrement.
Father.
And you, Master Sambong.
This is what I will do.
I will grow my own power using my own method.
I...
trust that I am in the right here.
I will probably use this kind of method...
to find my place in this new kingdom.
Why are you all just standing around?
I told you to set this place on fire.
Do it now!
(Six Flying Dragons)
You scum! Aren't you scared of the consequences?
It looks like all of you are still full of energy.
Your Majesty, Prince Jeongan has disappeared.
The rule of following primogeniture has been broken.
Come in now.
You must become the King.
Why don't we make him the Crown Prince?
The Crown Prince.
