King Geunchogo
Episode 36
Please forgive her.
Eoraha is...
If you have something to say, come back in the morning.
Are you excited?
You already had a first wedding night in Goguryeo.
If you came to humiliate me, it's no use.
I'm here because I'm confident of enduring this much humiliation.
I don't want to fight with you.
You should leave before Eoraha arrives.
I wouldn't have come if I was going to leave.
Eoraha is entering.
Hello.
What brings you here?
What's going on?
What are you doing here?
Is it true that Wanwoldang barged in to Sosukdang?
The palace is a scary place.
Everyone knows everything.
You should have stopped her.
Why is she acting so rashly?
Did you just stand by and watch?
What's wrong about a pregnant queen wanting to be a king's mother?
I asked what you are doing here.
I came to receive a promise.
What promise was this urgent?
Promise you'll make my son the next crown prince.
I gave up first queen to Sosukdang.
Let me be a king's mother.
Are you trying to make a deal with Eoraha using your baby?
The oldest son should become the crown prince.
Your baby could be a princess.
It can't be a daughter.
My baby knows my pain.
It can't be a daughter.
Why?
Do you want to be a king's mother now that you're the queen?
It's natural for a princess who becomes a queen to want to be a king's mother.
It's what's desired.
Now, you're showing your true colors.
The crown prince isn't decided by you or me.
The heavens decide.
The will of the heavens is sought and only Eoraha can decide.
You're so greedy.
You shared a bed with the king of Goguryeo.
How can you expect to be a queen and a king's mother?
Wanwoldang!
What bold queens.
It feels like I'm seeing two of Yeochan's mothers.
I'm sorry.
Eoraha.
Do either of you qualify to become the mother of Baekje?
Are you going to make me regret my decision on the very first day?
Please forgive me. I was very wrong.
Of course you were.
Eoraha.
Move!
Have you thought of my position once?
I didn't know if you'd become Eoraha or if you'd die in Daebang.
But I came this far to live and die with you.
You put Baekje before the people of Buyeo.
So, I suffered much pain for your great cause.
Can't you promise my baby will inherit your throne?
Sosukdang is the first queen, but I'm your first wife.
I'm not going to look at whose child the crown prince is.
I won't look at who is the first queen or the second queen either.
Only a prince that Baekje desires will become the crown prince.
Eoraha. Eoraha!
Eoraha!
Grandfather, it's Yeomong.
Come in.
What's wrong?
Yeogu went to Anpyeongjeon.
On the first night of his marriage?
Now I know why he gave Wanwoldang to me
when the first queen should have it.
His mother lived in Sosukdang.
That's how much he cares for Yeohwa.
Those were his true feelings.
He said he would choose a better prince?
My nephew just has to be better than Sosukdang's children.
I will teach him martial arts and Ajikai will teach him literature.
A crown prince isn't measured by things like that.
Then what? Affection?
You are a member of the Jin clan now.
You are my sister.
What matters in becoming crown prince is the Jin clan.
Wiryegung can't compare to that.
Can I believe that?
If you are carrying a prince, he will be crown prince.
There is no other crown prince for Baekje.
I will believe in my brothers.
People who don't know will say you were deserted the first night.
How will you rule the inner palace and embrace Wiryegung like this?
Do you know about politics?
Heukganggong is here.
Why aren't you sleeping yet?
I was so overwhelmed with the inauguration that I couldn't sleep.
Let's sit down.
Namdang will be held in the morning.
Rumors are going to spread that you didn't spend the night with Sosukdang.
If you leave her like that, the nobility of Namdang will side with Wanwoldang.
Probably.
You designated Sosukdang as first queen despite opposition from Namdang.
You did it to maintain balance in Baekje and embrace King Goi's line.
The more I think about it,
the more I'm afraid and the more I want to ignore it.
I'm not afraid of putting my life on the line to fight Sayu or Mahan.
I'm afraid my wives will be like Hae Sosul.
I'm afraid my sons will be like Yeochan.
A country's success or failure doesn't depend on Namdang.
It starts in the inner palace of the queens.
Your father couldn't avoid it and Bu Yeojun couldn't avoid it.
Neither can you.
You have to love and care for Hongran and Yeohwa equally.
If you do, they will follow your will.
The royal guards are watching you.
Don't do anything foolish.
Don't make Prince Yeohwi's death a waste.
I will reflect on my sins as Eoraha ordered,
so don't worry.
He was inaugurated today.
Grandfather sent this.
Have you gone crazy?
I'm happy he was inaugurated.
Yeochan!
He'll leave to attack Mahan soon.
He'll take the Irwolgeom and fight.
Probably.
We have to wait for that chance.
He'll make Yeomong or grandfather the temporary king and leave.
I'll retake my palace then.
Do you have any soldiers?
Are the two of us supposed to take the palace?
We'll use the soldiers of Wiryegung.
Yeohwa is the queen.
The soldiers of Wiryegung will be returned.
I'll have to hold hands with Yeomin.
Find a way to contact Wiryegung.
Make her sleep in her bed.
Eoraha.
You kept that.
I couldn't have lasted in Goguryeo without this.
I was the queen of Goguryeo. How can I...
The marriage was broken off.
You made me queen.
My brain tells me it's alright,
but my heart feels guilty.
I wouldn't be disappointed if you didn't come to my bed.
Yeohwa,
I betrayed you and my father sent you to Goguryeo for Baekje's sake.
Wherever you are, whoever you're with,
Yeohwa, you are my wife.
I always felt that way.
Sir.
What positions will the people of Liaoxi be appointed?
You're the chief strategist. You must know.
Why do you ask?
It isn't just women who want to be loved.
We wanted to be loved by our lord, too.
A position shows how much the king loves the servant.
The new appointments are very important for the people of Liaoxi.
That's why you didn't learn properly.
Wait.
What does rank have to do with serving Eoraha and caring for the people?
Why did you come? You will see me in Namdang.
We live nearby. We came to escort you.
Did you smell something sweet in our house?
It smells very sweet.
It sounds like a bribe, but it's nice to hear.
You are Wanwoldang's father.
You will be Naesinjwapyeong again.
Probably.
You will be commander again.
What will Jin Seung be appointed?
Eoraha doesn't have a full-grown son yet.
He'll probably be the commander of the royal guards.
Father, it's time to go.
Sure.
The commander of the royal guards looks very nice today.
The commander of the royal guards?
Eoraha is entering.
Eoraha.
Baekje has become stable because of your merits.
I will reward those merits today.
Eoraha grants the following rewards.
First meritorious retainers,
Jin Jeong,
Jin Godo,
Sa Chungseon.
Sa Chungseon's son will step forward.
Eoraha.
Your father was very loyal.
I caused pain for you and the Sa Clan.
What could be more painful than a son losing his father?
My lord!
I believed Bu Yeojun when he accused you of murdering Eoraha.
Forgive my disloyalty and kill me with your arrow!
My lord!
What is your name?
Eodal,
Sa Eodal.
I will give you a name.
It will be Gi.
It is to raise the Sa clan and Baekje.
I'm honored.
If I have a princess, I will give her to Sa Gi and have him be my son-in-law.
I will do my best to be a servant of Baekje before I think of the Sa clan.
Second meritorious retainers,
Hae Nyeong,
Hae Geon,
Bu Gantae.
Eoraha, Malgal commander Bu Gantae definitely achieved merit.
But what merit did Hae Nyeong and Hae Geon achieve?
Hae Nyeong retreated the Choseongni soldiers so we could take Gomoriseong.
Then what about Hae Geon?
He contributed in the taking of Gomoriseong.
He also saved my queen.
He deserves this.
I'm honored.
Bu Gantae.
Yes, my lord.
You brought Malgal soldiers to fight for Baekje.
I will award you with Gomoriseong.
I will defend Gomori with my life and prevent Goguryeo from attacking.
Eoraha grants the following rewards.
Third meritorious retainers,
Ko Heung,
Jin Seung,
Wi Birang,
Bok Gugeom,
Payun, Dugo,
Ajikai.
What? Hae Nyeong and Hae Geon are second meritorious retainers,
but my brother is a third meritorious retainer?
So are Dugo, Ajikai and Ko Heung.
How can he mistreat the Liaoxi people like that?
Until now, there were two jwapyeongs*,
*Jwapyeong: Highest of the 16 official government ranks
but there is much to do now.
Eoraha has increased the number of jwapyeongs to six.
Six? Who...
There will be less authority.
Grandfather, please announce them
Yes.
Naesinjwapeyong, Jin Seung.
Wisajwapyeong of the central army, Bok Gugeom.
Byeonggwanjwapyeong of the regional army, Wi Birang.
Naedujwapyeong who will be in charge of national finance, Payun.
Eoraha, I will obey your command.
Naebeopjwapyeong, Ajikai.
Jojeongjwapyeong, Hae Geon.
These are the six jwapyeongs.
Commander of the royal guards, wisadaejanggun Dugo.
The Wisagun commander will step forward.
I'm not a prince.
I'm the commander of the Wisagun royal guards?
Eoraha, why doesn't Ko Heung have a position?
Baekje will need talented people in many areas.
This is a most important matter.
Ko Heung will discover and nurture talented disciples.
I will obey your command.
None of the six jwapyeongs have experience in national affairs.
Young people are important, but the old and wise goose leads the formation.
That is why there will be Girobu at Namdang.
Nobody heard of that. What is it?
It will provide consultation and supervise Namdang.
My grandfather will be in charge.
Jin Jeong, Jin Godo and Hae Nyeong will be in Girobu.
I'd like to say something.
It has been almost 400 years since King Onjo founded Baekje.
Never have there been such people of low birth in Namdang.
My being a jwapyeong will burden you.
Please excuse me from the position.
Social status is important.
It shows what the family did for Baekje.
However, if you only insist on family, Namdang will rot.
Eoraha.
I'm going to keep Namdang open.
will leave it open for servants who devote themselves to Baekje
regardless of their social status.
We are honored.
Naesinjwapyeong was the imperial household minister;
Naedujwapyeong, the minister of finance;
Naebeopjwapyeong, the minister of culture;
Jojeongjwapyeong, the minister of justice;
and Wisajwapyeong and Byeonggwanjwapyeong,
the heads of the Ministry of War.
As a precursor to unifying Yemaek and Han.
King Geunchogo reorganized Namdang without regard to social status.
This forecast a clash between the old and new forces.
It's too much.
He is making a mockery of Namdang and ridiculing the Jin clan.
At least you have a naesinjwapyeong.
The Yeon clan is ruined.
So is the Guk clan.
What should we do?
Seung, what do you think?
We have to join our forces centering around Wanwoldang.
We collaborated with the Liaoxi people to keep Wiryegung in check.
We'll fall below Wanwoldang at this rate.
We have to prevent Wiryegung and the Hae clan from gaining power.
Letting Eoraha know national affairs aren't carried out by himself
is a matter for a future time.
You're right.
If Wanwoldang has a prince, we must make him crown prince.
Let's have a drink.
Yeomong, accept Ko Heung as your teacher and learn well.
You have to help me after you do that.
I didn't achieve any merit. I don't expect a government position.
I'm alright, but I'm worried the nobility will be unhappy.
It has to be endured.
Young people want to change everything all at once.
I understand you want to eliminate corruption and begin a new era.
However, fish don't play in water that is too clean.
The Eoraha's pond must have a mixture of clean water and dirty water.
I'll remember that.
We need to get horses from Mongolia.
We have to train them and find good land to breed them.
Mounted soldiers will be the key to conquering Mahan.
I'll have to take a closer look,
but there isn't enough in the state coffers for a war.
You are the naedujwapyeong, not me.
Sure.
I'll do the work that's the hardest and unappreciated.
I'll get money from the nobility or from Liaoxi or Daebang.
The Choseongni soldiers and Wiryegung
have to be armed again.
I will supervise them and train them to prepare for attacking Mahan.
Wanwoldang is here.
Wanwoldang?
Show her in.
Naedujwapyeong, wisajwapyeong, congratulations.
Thank you.
Look after us, Your Highness.
What is it?
I would like to go and see father.
Leave us.
I would like to comfort father and uncle and congratulate Seung.
I know why you were adopted by the Jin clan.
I admire father and the Jin clan.
I know your intentions, but I didn't try to stop you.
Why is that?
Wi Birang has to have power for the Liaoxi people to settle in Baekje.
Then he will be able to protect you and focus on conquering Mahan.
However, if you use the Jin clan to fight Sosukdang and create chaos,
I will not allow that.
You always mention Sosukdang.
You were a heroine.
You had a broader mind than men.
I liked that.
For our sake and for our child's sake,
don't fight with Sosukdang.
I'm going now.
There is a celebration at the naesinjwapyeong's house.
I'm sure there will be one at Wiryegung, too.
Probably.
They almost died. They must be so happy.
Take Sosukdang and go to Wiryegung.
You want us to go to Wiryegung?
If you're to control the Choseongni and Wiryegung soldiers,
you should share in their emotions.
We need the Choseongni soldiers to conquer Mahan.
Open the gate. The jojeongjwapyeong is here.
Open the gate!
The jojeongjwapyeong is here!
How brazen.
How dare he continue to come here?
Open the gate!
Let him in.
Yeomin!
I want to know why he came.
Why did you come?
This is an order from the previous Eoraha.
What are you talking about?
He said to give this to you when the time was right.
I believe that day is today.
Yeomin,
I had to make this choice for the sake of you and King Goi's line.
If a little of my blood can save King Goi's line, my life isn't a waste.
You must take back the throne with Geon and continue King Goi's line.
Father.
Was that why?
I will do everything I can to make him Eoraha.
The Guk clan will be loyal to you, Your Highness.
So will the Yeon clan.
Thank you.
When my son becomes crown prince, I won't forget the Jin clan or you.
The queen is here.
Yeohwa is here?
Yes, with Bok Gugeom and Payun.
Tell her to hurry in.
She must see this.
You can't do that.
Why not?
She supports Yeogu's Baekje.
It isn't the right time yet.
When will be the right time?
When Yeogu and she are distanced.
When she wants to kill Yeogu.
Then.
Will such a day come?
If it doesn't, I will make it happen.
A day will come for her to hold a grudge against Yeogu.
Your Highness.
Mother.
What are you doing here?
I have to report my appointment as jojeongjwapyeong.
Isn't this a bit strange?
They should want to kill him, but the atmosphere wasn't so.
Do you think so, too?
They wouldn't accept him so easily.
You should watch Hae Geon and Wiryegung.
Put the commander's coffin in Ganggukjeon.
Your Majesty, only the king can be placed in Ganggukjeon.
He died in my place.
Put him in Ganggukjeon.
Yes, Your Majesty!
Commander...
Your Majesty.
Ko Chisu, I will hold your funeral by Gogukwon where I will be buried.
I will take revenge for you.
So rest in peace.
Yeogu said he would unify Mahan.
Mahan is a confederacy of 54 statelets.
It won't be difficult to conquer.
If he does, he will get this rich land.
They will have an abundance of food and increase in number.
They will have the power to fight us.
How can we stop him?
Form an alliance with the kings of Mahan.
Have them fight Baekje.
If we attack from behind, we can possess Ungniha.
Your Majesty.
What is it?
Yeogu was inaugurated.
The first queen is Amijeon...
Never mind.
He is the king now. I should send him a gift.
Why should you send a gift to the ruler of Baekjans?
They didn't send a message or invite you.
You don't have to send a gift.
Send him three does of millets.
What do you think?
There are from Ohwan
and these are from Mongori?
That's right
Mongori horses are small,
Mongori horses are small, but they can run about 400 km a day.
Smaller horses will eat less.
The distance isn't important.
There's the weight of the armor.
Can it run that distance with all that weight?
He's right.
Eoraha!
What brings you here?
Sosukdang is ill.
She is pregnant.
Eoraha.
I thought she couldn't be pregnant since she didn't have a baby in Goguryeo
What do you suggest?
Your baby is the oldest. Don't worry.
She could have a daughter.
Naebeopjwapyeong!
Sosukdang could have a prince.
If I have a son, I was going to have you teach him.
Is there a solution?
That would be an honor.
Tell us if there is a solution.
The timing of the pregnancy is a bit suspicious.
The baby could be Sayu's baby.
