Episode 633 Now in Beijing… (3)
The Cabinet Secretary’s eyes suddenly darkened at Sang-sangju’s words.
‘already? ‘It’s too early!’
The defeat in the last war left serious aftereffects on the Ming Dynasty.
Even if they were rely defeated, the authority of the emperor and the court was usually severely damaged. However, the last war also brought about very serious economic losses. If this was not restored in ti, there was a significant possibility that a civil unrest or rebellion by local warlords would occur.
However, what the Cabinet Secretary said was too early was that only two years had passed since the end of the war. Although Ming’s administration of state affairs was creaky, it was not completely collapsed.
In the end, the cabinet secretary had no choice but to press the upper managent.
“Tell in detail!”
“Yes, Daein…”
According to Sangju’s explanation, such rumors were circulating among many farrs and urban lower-class people in the Gangnam area, and in fact, the movent of an ard uprising was slowly beginning to beco visible.
“What is the cause!”
“It’s because of the tricks and taxes of rice rchants.”
“Oh my…”
In response to Sang Sang-ju’s reply, the Cabinet Secretary placed his hand on his forehead and sighed.
‘Are you late?’
“Whoa~.”
‘But it won’t be too late yet.’
After sighing long and calming down his confused mind, the Assistant Cabinet Secretary asked Sang-ju Sang-ju.
“okay. So, how big is it?”
“It’s still just a rumor…”
“Okay, then do you know anything about the leader who is doing such a thing?”
“The water monsters are coming. According to rumor, there are four or five people calling themselves Zhou Yunmu, and six or seven people calling themselves Zhou Wenqyu. “I heard that there are three or four couples who call themselves father and son Joo Yun-moon and Joon-gyu Joo and move in together.”
“Hmm…”
In response to Sang Sang-ju’s reply, the Cabinet Secretary stroked his beard and was lost in thought.
After a while, the Cabinet Secretary ca out of his contemplation and asked Sang Sang-ju.
“Who did you tell about the rumor?”
“Daein is here for the first ti. However, if it has reached my ears, it ans that the rumor has already spread to many people, and if so, other people probably know about it, right?”
As soon as the words ‘other great people’ were ntioned, the Cabinet Secretary’s impression was completely lost. There were several Eoyong Sangdans, and the heads of these Sangdans were in line with not only the ministers but also Dongchang and Geumuiwi.
‘It’s beco a situation where I can’t hide it.’
After a while, the Assistant Cabinet Secretary, who had adjusted his expression, spoke to Sang Sang-ju.
“Thank you for providing valuable information. “I will report your rits to His Majesty.”
To the words of the Assistant Cabinet Secretary, the head of the Sangsan hurriedly responded with a sweeping gesture.
“This is too much praise! A small person is just a small person who makes a living thanks to His Majesty’s blessings! “I just did what I had to do!”
In response to Sangsangju’s answer, the Cabinet Secretary muttered in a low voice.
“If we do what we have to do properly, this country won’t be this difficult…” *

The next day, as soon as the Assistant Cabinet Secretary entered the palace, he reported what he had heard to Emperor Gyeong.
bang!
“Is there such a thing as this?”
Emperor Gyeong-tae, unable to control his anger at the report of the Cabinet Secretary, slamd down the armrests of his throne and imdiately issued an order.
“The Minister of Health and the left and right governors must mobilize the military imdiately and exterminate those traitors!”
Hearing Gyeongtaeje’s words, Byeongbu Sangseo imdiately waved his hand and made an announcent.
“your majesty! Soshin risks his neck and reports to His Majesty! It is right that those who committed the cri of treason should be punished, but if you look at the current situation of the country, it is a sha!”
“It’s a sha!”
“your majesty! As I said yesterday, the situation in the country is very bad! As His Majesty decided yesterday, it is best to first make peace with the North, organize the remaining troops, and restore the wounded central region!”
“Are we just going to leave those weightlifters alone? Isn’t it better to pull them out when they just start sprouting to further reduce damage? “What are the thoughts of the sick report!”
The Minister of the Infirmary imdiately responded to Gyeongtaeje’s words.
“If His Majesty issues just one edict, they will fight against each other.”
“huh?”
Emperor Gyeongtae’s anger cald down and his eyes sparkled as he responded to the illness.
“Tell in detail!”

While Beijing was noisy due to a rumor that spread in the Gangnam area, the rumor also reached Seoul.
“What do you think? Does it seem likely that the na will be overturned?”
The first person to answer Hyang’s question was Kim Jong-seo.
“In God’s opinion, the chances are very low.”
“what’s the reason?”
“Because there are more than one person who called themselves Emperor Hye and his son. Before dealing with people, they will have to deal with other impersonators. And that fight will be a fight we can never back down from.”
At Kim Jong-seo’s words, the local governnt and ministers nodded at the sa ti.
* * *
After being defeated in ‘The Battle of Jeongnan’, Geon Mun-jae, whose whereabouts were unknown, ca out impersonating his son, and the others were all re fraudsters impersonating themselves.
If the forces clashed in this situation, it would be a fight that would end only when one of the two dies. What if ‘He was real and I was fake. If they uttered the words, ‘That is why you must co under him,’ they would be killed first by those who followed them.
This happened when the two conflicting forces were at odds with each other, and if the superiority or inferiority of the forces was clearly revealed, Geon Mun-moon or Joon-gyu Joon-gyu on the weaker side would have died imdiately. This was because it was certain that their followers would use it as a gift to save their own lives.
-We have been deceived by pretenders until now. But now I have t the person in charge. Hereby, we offer up the supply and demand of the True Callers, so please lead us!
With these words:

Min-shin, who nodded at Kim Jong-seo’s words, continued.
“I don’t know who thought of it, but referring to Emperor Hye and his son seems like a good idea, but it is the worst of the worst.”
Hwang Hee added flesh to Min Shin’s words.
“It seed like a novel idea, but the trap is that it is a novel idea that anyone can think of.”
“Hmm…”
Hyang, who was analyzing the situation while nodding to the ministers’ answers, asked again.
“Then do you think the governnt will use a wait-and-see approach?”
Hwang Hee nodded and imdiately answered Hyang’s question.
“That’s right. Looking at the current situation, it is not easy to withdraw troops to the south. However, the leaders of those who started the rebellion all ca forward claiming to be Emperor Hye or his son. In that case, all you have to do is take a breather and wait. On the other hand, the opponent’s strength is greatly weakened by the repeated process of mourning.”
Hearing Hwang Hee’s words, Hyang muttered to herself without realizing it.
“Shall we add so seasoning there?”
As soon as Hyang spoke, Hwang Hee raised her voice.
“No, it works! “This is not right!”
Hyang looked surprised at Hwang Hee’s words.
“Isn’t that right?”
The aning behind Hyang’s expression and tone of voice was simple.
‘You say that? You? ‘Is there soone else who has been going around with Abama and , seasoning things here and there?’
No, everyone looking at Hwang Hee had an expression like incense.
Hwang Hee must have noticed the expressions on those people’s faces and told Hyang.
“your majesty. “Please hand over the magistrates and jurists for a while.”
“huh? “Hmm…”
Hyang, who was looking at Hwang Hee blankly, gave orders to the officers and clerks.
“Please leave for a while.”
“yes? your majesty. One…”
“Tsk!”
As soon as the incense filled their tongues, the officers and priests stood up, bowed, and imdiately went outside.
When all the officers and governors left, Hwang Hee explained the reason.
“The fact that we won the last war and transford ourselves into an empire is the reason why we must insist on our principles. Until then, because it was a small country, it was able to secure legitimacy even by using extravagant tricks and tricks for survival. However, now that we have beco a great power that can overwhelm even the Ming Dynasty, we must find our duty and justification. “If we ignore this and pursue only our own interests, no country will have relations with our empire.”
Kim Jeom imdiately started to refute Hwang Hee’s words.
“You probably don’t know the story of Song Yang Ji-in, right?”
Hwang Hee nodded and responded to Kim Jeom’s words.
“How could you not know? However, it is not acceptable to publicly show that one only pursues national interests while ignoring duty and justification. In public! Didn’t you think that the mont it was recorded in the Sacho and Seungjeongwon diaries, future generations would also see it? Think of the empire 100 years from now!”
“But there is no need to endure the loss of national interests!”
To Kim Jeom’s retort, Hwang Hee smiled and answered.
“I have read their scriptures deeply and deeply, and there are so good passages.”
“Good verse?”
“’Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.’ “Isn’t this a great verse?”
At that mont, Hyang unconsciously placed his hand on his forehead.
‘Isn’t that what you an?’
Hwang Hee continued, whether she knew Hyang’s feelings or not.
“The empire must prioritize cause and duty. Only then will the empire be treated as a great nation. At least that’s how it should be in sunny areas.”
Only then did Kim Jeom nod his head and respond.
“Hmm… If there is a sunny side, there is also a dark side…” “
And you will understand when you look at the old story. “History always moves at night.”
At Hwang Hee’s words, all the ministers nodded at the sa ti with smiles similar to Hwang Hee’s.
Even Lee Sa-cheol evaluated the scent as an ‘early type of Confucian Taliban’.
At the sight of that, I pressed my hands to my temples, which were burning with incense.
‘Where are we? Who am I? Is this a place to discuss the state affairs of the Korean Federal Empire, or is it a place where villains who dream of creating an evil empire gather?’
The spark was an incense stick that he pretended to not know until the end that he had thrown it.
In any case, a decision had to be made before calling the officers and clerks again.
“So, do you agree with adding spice to the Gangnam area?”
Hwang Hee answered Hyang’s question right away.
“We too think it would be better to wait a little. Now there are so many of them and the scale is so large. “I think it would be better to filter it out to so extent.”
Kim Jeom added to Hwang Hee’s words.
“God also feels the sa way. If you start seasoning from now on, the spending will be too much. “You need to season it when it is ripe.”
In response to Hwang Hee and Kim Jeom’s answers, Hyang looked back at the other ministers.
“What do you think?”
“I think the Pri Minister and Left Deputy Pri Minister’s plan is reasonable.”
In response to the ministers’ answers, Hyang made a decision right away.
“Then let’s do it. shell! “Tell the officers and clerks to co back in!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Not long after, Emperor Gyeongtae issued an edict.
– There was an unfortunate incident during the last crisis. Jim cannot hide his sadness at this. Accordingly, Jim will restore Jianmun, the na of Emperor Hye’s era, and install Jumun-gyu as the royal king. Therefore, Ju Joon-gyu, please retrieve your luggage.
As this edict was distributed throughout the central plains, the self-proclaid Geonmunmun and his sons began to clash violently.
