Episode 417
Suncheon, the current capital of the country.
There, the largest castle under the sky existed.
A place to enshrine the emperor.
It was called the Forbidden City because it was said to be a forbidden place like the womb of the king of heaven.
It was built like a labyrinth, so huge that there were over 10,000 rooms in seven hundred palaces, and it was said that officials who had just entered the palace would die of old age within it if they got lost.
Even the emperor, the owner of the place, has not been to most of the places while he was in the Bowie, and the officials are shocked.
But even in the Forbidden City, there were the only ones who knew everything.
In normal tis, she was a courtier, an alienated class that was despised and ignored.
During the day, they had to be deaf and mute in the lowest seat, but when the gates were closed and night ca, they could walk freely in their own world.
Therefore, the courtier was the one who knew the palace better than anyone else.
Even if the original owner of the house doesn’t know, the dog he raised goes through an invisible hole in the wall.
They went in and out of a secret place in the palace that no one knew about, and kept the closest place to the owner.
As always, the repetitive daily life was over and darkness ca.
Dung… Dung… Dung…
The ti signal rang out from the biru (water clock) near the far north wall.
Tak tat tat.
As the lights in the palace went out one by one and the dull darkness filled the castle, urgent footsteps resounded in the quiet palace.
It was a group of eunuchs heading sowhere with a quick step.
The soldiers of the inner city who noticed the old eunuch in the lead bowed their heads politely.
Then a group of eunuchs walked past them and at the sa ti poured out sneers at their coquettish hip-shaking gait.
“Look at them running. Guys are so…”
“It’s my fault that I have to treat a guy like that as my master.”
“Leave it. You look so busy, why don’t you go find so lost balls?”
“what? Kuk-kuk-kuk.”
Even if you are a eunuch, your status is so different from that of soldiers, that you cannot spit it out in front of you and gossip in the back of your head.
The one who led a group of eunuchs and just passed in front of them was Wi Jeong-pil, the governor of the case.
As the closest aide to the emperor and the head of all the courtiers, he was a eunuch, but he was a man of absolute power.
To the extent that even the heads of the Ogun, who were in charge of military power, could not raise their voices recklessly in front of him.
He said that even flying birds can be dropped with a single command.
“What are you doing with the great sensei?”
At his visit, an elderly court lady trotted up to greet him.
It was a poetry township that managed Gonning Palace.
“I’m here to see the queen mother.”
“yes? But have you already gone to bed?”
“It is an hourly wage. How many beds are there?”
“…”
Sihyang hesitated at Wi Jeong-pil’s words.
There were dozens of the Emperor’s bed in one palace.
It was to prepare for an assassination that might happen, and this was also the case at Gonning Palace.
The emperor always used a different bed, and only the head of each palace, who directly assisted him, knew the location.
Even though he was a eunuch and the head of all the courtiers, he could not be admitted into the residence of won who were carelessly revealing his manly nature.
If a problem arises because of that, Sihyang will run away without even knowing the Korean language.
“His Majesty the Wii Taegam and the noble princess told us not to let anyone in. Honey, first of all, tell the condensed milk… Gap!”
Si-hyang, who used the excuse of a noblewoman to politely refuse, was unable to speak any more as the hand violently grabbed her neck.
“I raised a bitch who used to cook rice in Sojubang to beco the head of the Gonning Palace… How dare you throw up at my words?”
“I feel like I’m going to get sick… How can I…”
“Shut up.”
“…”
There was cruelty in the low, thin voice.
Shihyang couldn’t speak any more.
It was because his eyes, glaring at him, were shining with a dark murder that he had never seen before, rather than Wi Jeong-pil’s grip, which was tightening his breath.
“Do you think your superior will blink an eye at the death of four years old?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Co on, tell . How many beds are there?”
“Private room No. 3…”
“…”
As soon as Wi Jeong-pil heard the answer he wanted, he shook his hand away.
dump.
“Ha-ha-ha-ha.”
Shihyang, who was sitting down, let out a breath that had been blocked, and shuddered.
Forgotten for a while. The fact that the owner of the dark Forbidden City is not the emperor, but Wi Jeong-pil.
And due to that small oblivion that really went against Wi Jeong-pil’s nerves, the fate of the poem was decided on the spot.
“It’s like a damn bitch… Admiral Wang.”
“Yes, great feeling.”
“Order your subordinates to sever the tendons of the old woman’s limbs, dig out her eyes, and throw her in the pigsty.”
“yes.”
There was no questioning.
As soon as the na fell, the eunuchs rushed at Si-hyang.
“Dae Tae… Eup! Yep!”
Shihyang was gagged by the eunuchs and dragged away without even being able to utter a single word.
Seeing this, the court ladies all fell on the floor and trembled.
Candles in front of the wind.
The sense of danger was the wind full of chills, and the court ladies were just as precarious as candlelight.
If he got angry and ordered his subordinates to replace all the court ladies, everyone would have the sa fate as Si-hyang.
“Who is the person right below Si Hyang?”
“I am .”
A middle-aged court lady raised her hands trembling.
“Let’s go to the boudoir at No. 3.”
“yes!”
The terrified court lady jumped up and guided Wi Jeong-pil, and the remaining court ladies were relieved that they had survived.
* * *
A room filled with smoke from incense.
A beautiful woman in her mid-thirties sat leaning against a table looking uncomfortable.
For so reason, the face that was revealed along with the finely frowning Ami flowed with elegance and charm at the sa ti.
Even though she was wearing only one of my transparent clothes, she stared at the feet in front of her with no sign of sha.
Those who fell on the floor with their heads down were Wi Jeong-pil, the chief executive officer, and Wang Jik, Admiral Seochang.
They said nothing until the woman’s mouth was opened.
No, I could never speak without permission.
Her na is Gwibi Man.
It was not enough to depose the empress with a body that was nothing more than a concubine, and even poisoned all the princes, but he was a rare power figure who kept the position.
“It’s late at night… Did you find the son of Mr. Ki who ran away?”
It is not an exaggeration to say that she was in the highest position in the Dang-geum country. As her beautiful army frowned even more, Wi Jeong-pil and Wang Jik pounded their foreheads on the floor with a thud.
The child, who would have been about sixteen by now, was the only imperial blood she had missed.
His presence, which could threaten her position, made her feel anxious and worried every day.
Wasn’t that why he ordered so of the scholars to pursue the eunuchs who fled the palace with the prince?
“sorry. It’s not because of the prince’s whereabouts, it’s because the young king made a move.”
Admiral Seochang Wang Jik did not wait for the right ti and made a goal because the army of the queen frowned.
Young King. An existence that was like a thorn in her eye as much as the prince.
Even though he was the emperor who dethroned the empress because of himself, he did not abandon his faith in the young king.
When the young king went into trouble, the emperor himself went to visit him in the hospital.
A half-brother whom the emperor trusts and cherishes more than anyone else.
But the young king didn’t want anything for himself.
If it wasn’t power, he could be greedy for money, but he did nothing except teach children as a pasti in his residence, Eungcheonjang on the outskirts of Suncheonbu.
However, from ti to ti he entered the palace and had an audience with the emperor, interfering with his work, so he tried to get rid of it sohow, but he was afraid of the emperor’s wrath, so he couldn’t even touch his bones and only cut off his limbs.
No matter how much they show off their power by covering the eyes and ears of the emperor, the emperor is the emperor.
Nothing can be accomplished without his command.
In the end, the royal court was divided into the royal faction and the noble faction, continuing a sharp confrontation.
“Young King? What else did he do?”
“I recently contacted the Murim people.”
“Are you Murim?”
“yes.”
“hmm.”
The queen was silent again and asked a question.
“Which one is it?”
“It’s a political alliance.”
“Jeongmu-maeng?”
“yes.”
“It’s political affairs… did you find out what it was about?”
“sorry. By the ti we found out, the alumni had already erased all traces and started sabotage.”
“It’s displeased that the reciter, who is like my eyes and ears, doesn’t know anything about the interruption of tsk tsk alumni.”
“…”
Wang Jik hurriedly responded to the reprimand in a calm tone.
It was because the queen was more interested in the news of Murim than being involved in political affairs.
So, when she recomnded the kingship as admiral of Seochang, one of the main tasks she gave was to look after Murim.
“I will definitely find out by mobilizing all of Seochang’s power.”
Wang Jik hurriedly replied, and the queen shook her head.
“No. It must be too late.”
“yes?”
“The King is not a very easygoing person. You must know that the strength of alumni cannot prevent recitation for long. Even more so, by deceiving our eyes and ears once, he has achieved his intended purpose. If you hold on to it late, you will surely fall behind anyway.”
“sorry.”
“Hmm… When you say that King Yeong t Jeongmu-maeng, it surely ans that it’s not an ordinary thing…”
The princess, who took interest in the royal position of deeply apologizing, muttered to herself, organized her thoughts, and then smiled.
“Right. The old fox is about to do sothing very wild.”
“…?”
“He intends to bring in the shaman sword.”
“A shaman… a district prosecutor?”
“okay.”
“…”
“The Jeongmu-maeng has been loyal to this country for a long ti even though it is in Moorim. If you ask in the na of the King, I will never refuse. Not to ntion the shaman, the original city master.”
“So you’re saying he’s trying to use Murim?”
“I’m sure. The lumbar canal died a while ago. As the King of Kings, all of his hands and feet were cut off to stop the palace. Besides, he couldn’t have known that the great arch lord was coming. There is no ti and the military cannot be moved, so we have no choice but to take the next best option.”
Grand Palace?
How could she speak of the Grand Palace?
However, Wang Jik and Wi Jeong-pil were not puzzled at all, as if this was a fact they already knew.
“Isn’t that a big deal then? It is a situation where all three palaces have collapsed on him. If he holds the King’s hand, he will move not only the Political Affairs League, but also the Sapaecheon and the Demonic Sect.”
“That’s right. It is like attaching wings to the back of a tiger because it even gives rise to the justification of preparing for tribulation by honoring the imperial order.”
“It will never be possible to allow the two of them to et.”
As Wang Jik and Wi Jeong-pil helped each other, the queen looked at them with annoyed eyes.
stupid stuff. It’s like you’re making a fuss after telling everything.
How could he be put into a gig with these things?
The princess, with a cold sneer inside, asked the two of them.
“So how are you going to stop it?”
“I will go out on my own. If you move the recital and accuse him of a cri…”
“You fool.”
“…?”
When the queen’s face beca as cold as ice, Wang Jik hurriedly shut her mouth.
“He is a Moorim man who earned the na Choi Kang. If we were to subdue such a person, we would have to mobilize thousands of golden troops, so what can we do with just recitation?”
“…That’s it.”
“It’s like a guy whose brain is full of shit.”
It was a sharp rebuke, but Wangjik, like a dumb who had eaten honey, could not answer.
“The Murim people will rebel if you try to oppress them. So I need to appease him so he understands.”
“What do you an?”
“If we want to move faster than the young king who t the Pri Minister, we have no choice but to et the person concerned and present appropriate conditions.”
“…”
At the words of the queen, Wang Jik and Wi Jeong-pil looked at her blankly.
“Anyway, let take care of that. You should find out about the shaman’s whereabouts as soon as possible, and focus on finding Mr. Ki’s son.”
“I will do as you command.”
When Wang Jik and Wi Jeong-pil left, the queen caressed the teacup on the table.
“A shaman sword…”
A character who suddenly appeared as if he had fallen from the sky and pulled out all the powers of the palace that had been hiding in Moorim independently of himself.
“See you soon. It’s always exciting to et soone as strong as you. Watching him die.”
A mischievous smile appeared on Mr. Gwibiman’s face.
* * *
“…?”
When Jinmu suddenly turned his head in shock, Chungwoo, who had been diligently eating at, looked at him curiously.
“why?”
“huh? Oh no.”
It just felt very creepy.
The place where Jinmu and his party arrived a long ti after leaving Kunlun was none other than Gongdong Mountain.
It was to connect the mining trading rights to Yujang.
Jinmu, who was conscious of Jeong Mu-maeng’s eyes and hid, skipped the Cheonungbang and secretly inford Yu-jang, waiting for him to arrive.
But why do I feel very uncomfortable?
I felt sothing like a woman’s fierce chill.
Could this be that crazy age?
…Ah, it must be because of this mood.
It’s because Gongdong is close to Sacheon.
