[Episode 32]
What's wrong?
What's going on? Did something happen?
Boon Yi...
Tell me.
Now...
Play is over now.
I don't think...
I can play with you like this anymore.
- Well-- - I mentioned your mother to Cho Young.
What did she say?
If Yeon Hyang is your mother...
Cho Young seemed to know her.
So just wait a little longer.
If what I said worked, Moomyung will respond.
I will make sure to keep my promise.
Along with the land issue...
I'll definitely find your mother.
But... why did you do that?
What do you mean?
Why do you bring up the promise suddenly, and...
you can't play anymore?
What does it mean?
Why? Do you want to play more?
You're disappointed that we can't play anymore.
You know I don't mean it that way.
Something happened to you, right?
- Boon Yi... - Yes, tell me.
Say my name.
My name! Call me by my name.
Bang Won.
One more time.
Bang Won. Yi Bang Won!
It's nice.
What is it?
- Boon Yi. - Yes.
Now...
don't call me by my name.
Don't talk to me like a friend, either.
Now...
I understand.
I understand, sir.
If you... call my name...
I think it will be difficult for me.
I think I will become weak.
If you talk to me like a friend...
You don't have to explain the reason to me.
It doesn't matter to me.
If the plan is successful, you will be royalty.
Of course I should use the respectful form of speech.
I am grateful that you have allowed me until now
and it was more than what I deserved.
I was very happy. I felt like a real friend.
"To feel the joy of life."
Please help people feel the joy of life every day.
Become great royalty... and be a good ruler, please.
There is no place for me here?
No, all of this will be my place.
Now... play time is over.
Are you Young Master Yi Bang Won?
Who are you?
I heard your words from the leader of Hwasadan.
Moomyung?
We are curious about you, and you must be curious about us.
Would you like to talk with us?
Would you come with me?
I was asked to discuss what both of us are curious about.
I feel like I am taking an exam.
Are you checking me to see if I am worthy of authority?
The elders only want to check if what Cho Young said was true.
They are showing themselves?
Are they trying to find out about the land policy reform from me?
Who is your head?
They didn't come.
What? She went to meet with Yi Bang Won in person?
Yes.
Who escorted her?
The one who always escorts her... seemed to be going with her.
- What's going on? - Do you know where they were headed?
- Yes. - Lead the way!
According to Cho Young
you were furious about Jung Do Jeon's plan of a prime minister rule.
Why were you furious?
I already told Cho Young all about it.
I have no more to say.
Did you not like the Five Rules at all?
Why are you curious?
Whether the Five Rules are enough for you
to abandon Jung Do Jeon and make up your mind
they are going to decide.
I'm sure you made the decision for you to come out here!
Otherwise, why would you show up in front of me like this...
I already said it!
I won't be another Hong Ryoon who was used and abandoned.
Then...
you should also answer the questions I have!
Both of you were guards.
You're the highest person in here.
Then why don't we ask three questions each and answer them?
Otherwise, I will leave.
What will you do?
I will do that.
Then... I will ask you a question first.
What is the purpose of this organization?
It is stability.
We are the managers that keep this country stable.
To put someone like Lee In Gyeom in power and drive the country to this state...
Do you call that stability?
It is.
Since Lee In Gyeom stepped down, how many revolts have occurred?
Two kings stepped down from the throne.
A bloody wind swept through the powerful people.
I am getting the idea...
of what you refer to as stability.
It is more than pathetic.
I will ask you a question.
What are the Five Rules of the King?
Why is she so curious about the Five Rules?
Yi Bang Won can't have talked about that yet, can he?
Who are you?
Where did the children of this house go?
They went to Gaegyeong to look for their mom.
There were no children in that house...
and the situation was urgent for me to keep looking for them.
I'm sure you know that all of us were in a war with political factions...
I'm sure that's not the case.
You wouldn't do something so cruel to Yeon Hyang.
You had special feelings.
Of course I don't understand it either.
For her to live with an ignorant farmer and to have children...
Five, the royal family and its relatives cannot participate in politics.
Those are the Five Rules.
Isn't that more than enough reason for me to abandon Sambong?
I'll ask you a question now.
When did your organization begin?
Since Shilla.
During the reign of Queen Seondeok...
it started with someone named Yeom Jong.
Yeom Jong? The traitor who raised a revolt with Bi Dam?
Yeom Jong...
I will ask.
When the country's events are determined
there is a system of getting advice from a respected monk.
What will you do about it?
Of course we have to abolish it.
How can that system exist in a country of the Sadaebu?
Now I will ask you the last question.
Do you have a woman by the name of Yeon Hyang in your organization?
- Will you not answer me? - It is--
We do.
It is also our final question.
Why are you looking for Yeon Hyang?
Her son and daughter are looking for their mom.
Did they already meet?
They can't... already?
It can't happen yet.
Not yet...
Why are you rushing so much?
Where is she?
Where is she!
Gil Seon Mi! Why did you do such a thing!
Did you hear... something from Yi Bang Won?
I won't be another Hong Ryoon who was used and abandoned!
They definitely protected the maid.
Why...
Damn it!
I will explain everything to you.
Where is she?
What? They are alive? Her children are alive?
Gil Seon Mi told me to keep it a secret.
But this will be revealed after all.
Gil Seon Mi...
You went too far to begin with.
What are you implying?
"Let's make it look like the enemy killed the children."
"Let's convince Yeon Hyang with it and bring together the organization."
It was a strategy that was befitting you.
Where are the children?
I heard they were with Yi Bang Won.
There is a high probability that they are in General Yi's army base.
Yeon Hyang has... a pitiful fate.
Both Yeon Hyang and I were war orphans and grew up here.
We ate, learned, and trained together here.
We were raised as candidates of Moogook.
I didn't get to become Moogook.
But Yeon Hyang...
She is Moogook.
She became the one.
Gil Seon Mi, in Moogook's presence.
What are you doing right now?
To a maid...
Gil Seon Mi...
I have a lot to hear from you.
She is Moogook. Show your respect.
Jukryong of Biguk Temple, here to report to Moogook.
We were at risk of coming to an end
after being cornered by the enemy in 1375.
You definitely said that the enemy killed my children then!
If I didn't say so then
you'd have run away to Yiseo County again
and all of us would have been killed.
Did you take an order from Yooksan?
I'm sure.
You will have to pay the price, Yooksan!
Will you have us fight amongst ourselves again?
It should not happen now!
Where are my children?
- They are very close by. - I asked where they are!
Lee Bang Ji.
The best swordsman in the country... is your son, Moogook.
He is with Boon Yi in General Yi's army base.
In order to kill Yi Seong Gye, the best swordsman was to be led away.
- Then... - That's right.
- When you knew about it-- - Do you think that's all?
In order to lead on Lee Bang Ji, what do you think I said to him?
"If you want to meet your mother again, come to Yeoamjung."
That's what I said.
Keep going.
All of this misfortune...
started when you betrayed the organization
abandoned me
and ran away to Yiseo County!
Yes, continue with your babble!
The only reason I abandoned His Majesty and joined this organization was...
you, Moogook. Don't you know?
Keep this a secret from Yooksan.
What a disaster!
Gil Seon Mi... How can we handle this when Moogook finds out about it?
I met with Yi Bang Won in person today.
Sambong's country is a dangerous one.
Also, Yi Bang Won seems to have made a truly different decision from Sambong.
Did she not hear about the children?
Whether Yi Bang Won is to be used as a sword and abandoned like Hong Ryoon...
or he is to be used as a useful tool like Lee In Gyeom
we will have to consider more.
Teacher Yooksan.
Yes.
I will put you in charge on the matter of Yi Bang Won from now on.
We will have to learn more about Sambong's plan.
She will put me in charge?
She didn't hear it.
Teacher, Moogook is giving you an order.
Yes, I receive Moogook's order.
As you know, everything is a mess.
To show ourselves like this, to have a gathering...
and to get to know the members who shouldn't know about each other.
It is pathetic.
What about measuring the field?
I will report to you tomorrow.
Where is Cho Young? I will go see her in person.
- You can't see her anymore. - Why not?
- I let her go. - What?
Moomyung came to me.
Did you talk about our mom?
Yes, I did...
But every time I bring up your mom, everyone in Moomyung seems surprised.
From what I sense...
I don't think your mother can be discussed separately from Moomyung.
You must be frustrated, but wait a little longer.
Do you think our mother is deeply involved in Moomyung?
I don't know yet.
Even if that's the case
there must be a reason for it.
Yes, Gil Seon Mi...
You didn't tell her.
If Yeon Hyang attacks me now, it will be another war...
How would you not know that?
Did you find out about the one who killed Baek Geun Soo?
Yes. It wasn't Cheok In Gwang
who killed Baek Geun Soo and the assassins that night.
Cheok In Gwang was already dead by then according to the State Tribunal.
Then... does it mean Wang Yo is skilled in martial arts...
or did his servant do it?
It was definitely Goksan swordsmanship.
Did you hear anything from the court maid we planted by His Majesty?
Yes. There is a girl who is a messenger between Poeun and His Majesty.
I see.
She is an artist favored by His Majesty from the days of his private residence.
His trust runs deep with her, so she was given this job.
This is the antidote.
It's the girl from that time!
If we capture her and make her confess...
we will be able to know the real plan of His Majesty and Poeun.
Bring her in.
- You met with Moomyung? - Yes, they came to me.
It worked out as you planned it.
What did you talk about?
They said that their goal was the stability of this country.
What? Stability?
Yes.
Also, they started with Yeom Jong from the Shilla Dynasty.
Yeom Jong...
I see. I will look into it more.
Was there anything strange?
No.
It is strange why they are curious about the Five Rules.
Since it was the first meeting, they seemed to be focused on examining me.
Did they actually believe you?
Yes. Since I am training my own soldiers, they'll believe me.
We have to identify their true nature.
Yes, I will.
- Bang Won. - Yes, Teacher.
In order to deceive the enemy
you have to deceive the ones next to you and deceive yourself as well.
But if you deceive yourself for too long...
Does he know something?
The one you deceive can become yourself.
Keep that in mind.
Yes.
- You! - Yes!
What's wrong with your move? Why can't you do it?
Put your mind to it, and like this!
Can't we just pretend like we're training private soldiers?
I think he's working too hard.
Young Master told him to put forth his best effort.
Since we're already doing it, we should put our effort into it.
- Moo Hyool! - Pardon? Me?
A skilled warrior will demonstrate for you.
Show them!
Skill Five of the Eastern Twin Dragons!
Upper abdomen. You have to hit the upper abdomen.
Upper abdomen, understand?
We have to return to measuring the field!
We have to return to it?
We already knew that local officials lined up for the noble class
to interfere with the measurement of the field!
That's not all.
Even during the measurements
the noble class took away great portions of land by donating them to temples!
We can't go on like this!
Then, are you suggesting to withdraw the plan of the land policy reform?
Based on this measurement, it will only be 600,000 gyeol.
After taking out necessary lots to finance the country
only 170,000 gyeol of land remains.
We don't have enough land to distribute to the citizens!
I already made my promise
that I'd return the stolen land to the people since Wihwa Island!
But what do I look like now?
I killed Choi Young, got rid of Jo Min Soo and the noble class powers
made King Woo and King Chang take poison on their own
and even sent the respected scholar Lee Saek into exile!
The man in power! That's how I look right now!
And you want to restart the measurement now?
What does it make of my promise to the citizens?
Yes, this is the time to consider public support more than any other time.
Since Lord Lee Saek was confined, public support has not been in favor.
Although it is far from complete, you have to proceed with it.
It's not that we don't know that!
But if it's not the promised plan of distributing the land by headcount
people will be deeply disappointed!
Sambong, why do you not say anything?
It is a very difficult matter.
If we execute the plan, we won't be able
to distribute it according to the headcount.
But the tax rate will be reduced to 10 percent of the harvest
so it will be very helpful to people.
Of course. We have to execute it right away!
But if we reform the land policy in this ambiguous way...
then our dream of fair land distribution will have no end in sight.
- Why don't we push for it in the future? - When in the future?
A land policy is based on the outlook of a hundred years!
Can we possibly change the land policy every five, or every ten years?
What should we do?
All our members were mobilized to interfere with the field measurement.
They couldn't have measured it properly.
Will they... still go ahead with it?
Jung Do Jeon...
Is it thinking of your mother that makes you look so worried?
Well...
From what I see, you look worried too.
Is it because of the measurement?
Whether we should execute the plan with the measured land...
or we should wait until enough land is measured with no end in sight...
I can't make a decision.
When you're in a sword fight
how do you determine if you should attack or defend?
Swordsmen like us have to decide in a fleeting moment.
How do you decide?
It doesn't matter what the decision is.
It is important to believe in that decision.
The belief that my defense or my attack will absolutely work.
But what if the belief is wrong?
Then I die.
Whatever it is, I just want it done.
But if they do it now, they can't give out enough land to the people.
Really?
Gap Boon, you also heard the rumor about the General in the market, right?
A rumor?
Oh, it's nothing.
It's fine. Just relax and tell me.
"Did the General return with the soldiers from Wihwa Island"
"to become Lee In Gyeom?"
"The dead general Choi Young is the only pitiful one."
They were talking about things like this.
Not everyone says so...
servants of the noble class say those things.
Yes, of course.
Most people say that their lives are much better now than before.
Welcome. My husband is away at the moment.
- I see. - Should I bring him?
At this rate, we cannot distribute the land as we planned.
We cannot distribute land to all of the people.
Have you discussed this with the people of your group?
The people of our group ask me every time they see me.
When they can have the land...
When they can go back to their hometown.
We are not used to looking far ahead.
There is no guarantee that a person who exists today will exist tomorrow.
Even if it's not done by the plan, they will be happy with it.
But if we miss the opportunity this time
we may never be able to do it.
The ones who had their land stolen might not get it back.
But the land policy reform may end with a lower tax rate.
Our people will probably say this if they heard your words.
"Please don't let that be all. Please give us some land, too."
- It won't be easy. - Yes, but...
nothing that you have done has been easy.
You will be able to do something.
You won't turn away from the people...
You won't forget about them...
So I believe you will do something.
Then what should I do? Should I just die like this?
I have to do something to live!
- As long as we are alive? - Yes.
I believe in you.
We should proceed with the land policy reform the way it is.
Sambong!
Do you mean to give up on the land distribution based on the headcount?
We won't give up! We will continue to prepare for it!
I had Lee Shin Jeok prepare for something in secret.
It's been a while since Lee Shin Jeok left.
What is he doing?
I'll tell you eventually.
Sir, please allow us to proceed!
Of course we should. Proceed.
- Sambong. - Trust me.
We have to at least try.
We're in big trouble. In the market...
Away, away, our General is leaving...
- Our poor General Choi Young... - Our poor General Choi Young...
We can't just sit still and have our land taken away.
Yes, we have to disturb the public trust like this and stop Sambong.
Our pitiful General Choi Young, we can't live with this resentment.
Jung Do Jeon!
Jung Do Jeon locked up his teacher, our teacher in prison!
How can he do that to his teacher? My goodness...
How could he do that as a learned person?
I also just came back from being exiled because of him!
After being friends all our lives... that's what he did to me!
The reform Jung Do Jeon is trying to do now
is only for his own power!
He is trying to gain power by using General Yi Seong Gye!
If such a wicked man proposed the reform, how could it be a proper reform?
For someone who locks up his own teacher and throws out his own friends!
He will ruin the country in the end!
Have you not seen the market streets of Gaegyeong?
How many days has it been with that procession?
That's not all.
Because of the impeachment of Lord Lee Saek
even the Sadaebu is blaming me.
However, sire...
With this reform, people will be better off
and the public support will be managed.
Look at what's happening with public support right now.
Who are the people on the market street blaming?
Sire--
I am tired.
We've talked enough.
Go tell Poeun as you heard it.
Sire...
you seem to have a very difficult time.
Please gather your strength.
Everything will work out the way you wish.
Are you on your way to Poeun's house?
Who are you?
We have questions for you, so come with us.
Why are you doing this?
There...
What are you doing?
Don't mind us. Keep going your way!
We have a misunderstanding to resolve.
Let go of her hand and speak.
Assaulting a woman late at night... What on earth are you doing?
Get rid of him.
That man... is Monster Moo Hyool from that Dohwa Mansion incident.
Monster?
Everyone, scatter!
Thank you, Warrior.
Not at all. Things are unsettling these days.
It is scary at night, my lady.
How far are you going?
I will escort you there.
You don't need to do that.
It's fine. I will escort you there.
You really don't need to.
My grandmother told me that I should always protect women and babies.
You are a dancer?
Yes. I play instruments too.
You are very talented in many ways.
I can't do any of that.
I have a friend who sings well.
So it's not that I don't know about music at all.
You were very skilled in your martial arts from what I saw earlier.
I could have been in big trouble. Thank you.
Where do you live?
I am in General Yi's army base.
General Yi's army base...
Is it possible... for me to see you dance?
I've never seen anything like that.
I don't know if there will be an opportunity
but if there is...
I will get going now.
Yes, please be careful.
Yes, Warrior.
Why are you following me?
You have good sense.
You shouldn't have sent away that warrior.
We are not going to harm you.
You just need to come with us and answer the questions we have.
Let's go quietly.
I won't go.
Then we have no choice. Get her.
What's this? What on earth is this?
I'm no match for this girl.
Are you Moomyung?
Or...
It doesn't matter.
Don't ever do this again.
Don't bother His Majesty and Lord Poeun.
What? What is with that form of speech that doesn't go with her?
If you do this again next time
it won't be the back of the blade.
It will be the blade.
The surviving servant didn't train in martial arts.
He didn't?
No. I used a warrior to confirm.
Then what is it?
Wang Yo wouldn't have done that either.
Was there another person?
It was that girl!
That girl seemed to have killed the two assassins and Baek Geun Soo.
The girl who was going to marry Wang Yo?
I lost.
She was too good even for me.
- What? - What do you mean?
That girl has supernatural swordsmanship.
You mean, that girl killed Baek Geun Soo and the two assassins?
You said there was a trace of Goksan swordsmanship!
It can't be...
That girl...
Is she Cheok Sa Gwang?
He asked how we could proceed
with such an important task in such a turbulent time.
He said that it would be logical to delay it.
- Is that His Majesty's order? - Yes, sir.
If His Majesty is opposed, it will be difficult to proceed with the work.
Sambong, what are you thinking?
What will you do?
It's chaotic everywhere in the market!
I am aware of it.
It is their last ditch effort. Don't mind them.
What would you do if it were you?
In the end, they will do it.
The land policy reform...
Yes, they won't stop with this.
Our goal is to wrap up at some level of reform.
What will you do about Yooksan?
I am thinking about it.
To do something right away...
Jung Do Jeon...
We met such an absurd enemy.
- I don't know. - You don't know?
The current chaos will disappear soon.
But once this period is over
we don't know how many steps this one step back will become in the future.
Why are you laughing?
You've become a grownup now.
Pardon? What do you mean all of a sudden?
When you answered, "I don't know," it means that you've become an adult.
Is that right?
The moment I asked you a question
if it was that foolish, impatient you from before
I could think of what you would do in this situation right away.
You've surprised many people with your absurd actions several times.
You didn't think about what came before or after
you didn't care about the aftermath
What did you do with your immature decision?
You did things that couldn't be withdrawn.
- Let's go to the Taxation Office. - Taxation Office?
Tell all of your contacts to gather in front of the Taxation Office.
I will leave the door open of the Taxation Office.
Everyone, come in.
Is this a place we can enter?
Let's hurry up and go in!
Let's go! Let's go!
The mountain in front is saddened...
- The mountain in the back is saddened. - My goodness! My goodness!
Our extraordinary hero, General Choi Young
who saved Goryeo from several crises!
My goodness...
Why did you have to pass away?
My goodness! My goodness...
Come quickly! Something big is happening!
- Come quickly! - Where?
Hurry up!
Jung Do Jeon!
For the last few years, he--
Something big is happening!
I am Jung Do Jeon.
I, Jung Do Jeon, impeached my teacher and friends and sent them to exile.
It was because of this!
These are the registers of all the land of Goryeo.
In other words, this is the list of the land that was taken away from the people
and the land we have to get back!
Just because of a few dozen words in these registers
you lost the land that you farmed all your lives.
That's why you were driven out of your homeland
and you're wandering in an unfamiliar land.
Here! We have the land register of Goryeo from harsh taxes and stolen assets.
And in Dohwa Mansion, there is this much of the record
on measurement of the field.
It is the record of 600,000-gyeol of land.
Of course this is not everything.
But we worked hard to get this far.
If we proceed with the land policy reform based on that measurement
we will get back most of the stolen land.
And you only have to pay ten percent in taxes.
Will he really...
But as you saw in the market
the ones who stole the land are opposed to this
with an excuse of complicated political logic.
What on earth is he planning to do?
Politics! What are politics?
Politics seem complicated, but in fact, they are simple.
Politics...
Politics means...
Politics is sharing! It is distribution!
Politics is about, who do we take it from and who do we give it to?
Who do we take away from and who do we fill up?
Whom have you taken from and whom have you filled?
I, Jung Do Jeon... will participate in politics now.
The land of this country
has grown rotten from high taxes and stolen assets!
How do you cultivate rotten land?
Shouldn't we burn it and make it a new field?
- Burn it? - What?
What on earth is he saying?
- Let's burn it! - Let's burn all of them!
Let's do it! Let's burn them!
This can't be withdrawn.
Once all of the land registers are burnt
there is no choice but to redistribute the land.
Let's burn it!
Land.
Who will start the fire?
I am only a Sadaebu, so I have never burnt a field.
How about someone with experience burning fields taking the lead?
Someone with the experience of burning a field will be good.
But it is about setting a fire.
Wouldn't someone with experience setting fires do a better job?
I've set a fire too! When I was driven out of my hometown.
Although my land was stolen, I had my house.
But I couldn't live off of the house!
So I set fire to it and left!
I did that too! I've also burnt a thing or two!
- Let's burn it together! - Let's do it!
No! What are you doing, Jung Do Jeon?
How dare you! You cannot! Extinguish the fire!
No!
How can this be?
Now the land of this country will be reborn!
[In September 1390, the land registry of Goryeo was burnt in Gaegyeong]
[and the flame lasted for days.]
You have done it again.
You are incredible.
But I will make you step down and rest soon.
I...
I... still like... that man.
Damn it.

Teacher said he'd definitely not stop here.
He is really trying to change the whole world!
Now he will be our direct threat.
Were you threatened, Mom? Bang Ji can rescue you.
Moomyung is me. Don't look for me anymore!
We have to help Poeun. Yi Seong Gye must be dead.
Sambong will face a headwind from this.
