-=1418 The year of King Sejong's accession=- Okay!

There is no more wine. Bring more wine over!

What? What is this?

Arrest everyone!

What is the meaning of this?

- This is an imperial order from His Majesty. - Imperial order?

For coercing the Crown Prince,

- regicide criminals who have turned the Crown Prince into a dissolute person, they will all be punished severely. - I want to

meet with King Father personally?

That cannot be done.

I am the Crown Prince, the future King!

King Father

Why must innocent servants be punished?

You bastard!

Do you know where this is? Get out of here!

Why? Why?

Scoundrel! The Crown Prince, the future king of this nation,

is philandering with prostitutes in the palace, addicted to wine and women!

- How can you succeed the throne? - Am I not allowed such entertainment?

King Father has a harem full of beauties

which he enjoys to the fullest.

Why am I not allowed the same?

Do you really want

to cross that line?

Are you serious?

I have already crossed that line.

All the ministers who have given outstanding service are gathered here tonight!

Lord, is your family doing well?

Tonight, especially for you,

I offer a toast.

What is wrong? Accept it!

This bastard!

- After ten years the erlian kick has returned. - And so?

Ever since the erlian kick broke Lord Gang Yeong No's ribs ten years ago, this is the first time it has resurfaced.

Are you listening, sir?

It's all right.

This is not the first time for King Father to be like that to my brother.

You must also eat this for your health.

- Eat it yourself if you want to. Meat. - Meat.

It is very serious this time, Your Royal Highness.

I have already told you that it does not concern me. I am the third son.

King Father will never concern himself with what I think or do.

But if I were the Crown Prince...

Open the door!

From this moment on, listen carefully to what I am about to say.

Yang Nyeong has been ousted.

You, Chung Nyeong, are the newly established Crown Prince.

What?

You will become this country's king.

-= I am the King =-

To abolish the elder and establish the young. To have ousted your eldest son and promote your youngest son.

This has always led to disaster ever since the ancient times.

I earnestly ask Your Majesty to reconsider.

Have you not seen Yang Nyeong's doings and conduct?

Chung Nyeong is much too obsessed with study.

Perhaps he may possess much knowledge,

but to rely on those alone would be insufficient for the governance of a country.

Fine.

Then those who have the same thoughts as Hwang Pan Seo stand on the right,

and those who do not on the left.

Move quickly!

Stop dragging your feet! Stand where you want to stand!

If you want to stay there then stay there! And stop eyeing each other!

This man!

Do you have anything else to say?

Chung Nyeong is lacking in courage and decisiveness, qualities necessary of a monarch.

He is spouting nonsense, Your Majesty!

If he focuses on engaging in physical exercise,

then along with his intelligence,

he can become a historically famous monarch.

What you said is right. The body can develop with exercise.

Lord Yeong Sang, you will take charge in assisting him.

I am humbled by Your Majesty's grace.

That should not be, Your Majesty.

It would be difficult if Chung Nyeong himself does not wish to engage in physical exercise.

Have you received favor from Yang Nyeong?

Your servant is only concerned of the royal family's future.

His majesty himself had to overthrow four brothers

so as to ascend the throne.

Do you wish this convention carried on?

This old fool is making me insane!

Second elder brother, since our eldest brother was ousted, shouldn't you be the one to succeed the throne?

Why isn't it you, second elder brother? Why must I become the crown prince?

- Namo Amitabha Buddha. - Second Brother! Please save me!

Why are you dressed as a monk?

- Hyeongnim - Hyeongnim? I am your hyeongnim?

So alive, I am the king's elder brother.

Dead, I am Bodhisattva's elder brother.

Not a Crown Prince, not a king, but an elder brother. Is that right?

How can you say those things, hyeongnim?

I will try to persuade King Father.

- About what? In Joseon,

King Father's wishes are heaven's wishes.

Then what?

This was the sword King Father used to succeed the throne. Do you see it?

The blood of father's eldest and second eldest brother has not even dried yet.

- Namo Amitabha Buddha - Are you not going to be quiet?

Hyeongnim! I do not want to be king! I also do not want to die.

Then, go die.

- Namo Amitabha Buddha! - I told you to be quiet, scoundrel!

- Can you not understand words? - Hyeongnim!

You cannot dare to die? Then ask this sword

whether you deserve to be king.

- What exactly does he want me to do? - Namo Amitabha Buddha. Guanyin, goddess of mercy.

If you do not want to succeed the throne then just run away.

Just run away. Just run away. Namo Amitabha Buddha.

You will regret it if you do not buy it.

I will buy it next time.

Is that so? But will it still be here then?

- Pretty. - Please step aside.

Very beautiful, this cherry mouth.

Who are you?

Stop it!

Stop!

Just to one slave. Worthy of do like this.

Stop it already.

Want one slave inexpensive life. To you also no profit.

- Here. - Yes.

- Release him. - Yes.

.

Stop pretending and quickly get up.

My back!

While I still want to feed you, get up quickly.

But why is agassi so kind to someone like me?

That's right.

If it were not for me telling mother, on her deathbed, that I would take good care of you.

You are the type of person who doesn't even have soup to drink.

That's just an excuse.

You're actually interested in me. You actually see me as a man.

Eat this yourself.

Mother, really. It would have been so much better if you had her marry me.

Life child Your Highness. Holy yes to illuminate everything.

Congratulations life child Your Highness. Congratulations life child Your Highness.

.

.

With your communication with the Ming Nation, when can the emissary come?

Not for three months, sir. Do you have anything in mind?

Everyone listen properly!

Within three months, the ceremony for Chung Nyeong' ascension to the throne will be held.

With my abdication from the throne, prepare yourselves properly in assisting the new king.

Matters are developing as planned.

Those arch-enemy. Want earlier have them give settled.

Yellow to be fond of already finish. First get Zheng Republic of China to perform or have an operation.

Heaven Earth Black

- Black... - Black Yellow

You are really stupid. You can't even make it past the first page.

I already told you my head is like a rock. I can't learn these things.

I didn't hit you that hard. Deok Chil, what's wrong with you?

- Deok Chil - Agassi

This fellow!

This...

Both of you!

- Father - This is not what it seems...

Run away! Quickly!

Arrest them!

Quickly arrest big contrary criminals Zheng Republic of China.

Not one family is to be let off. This is an imperial order.

What are you looking at? Run away! Quickly!

- No! You can't! - Father!

- Let me go! Father! - Agassi!

Are you looking for death?

Be quiet!

Agassi!

- If you do not want to succeed the throne, then just run away. - That's right.

It would be enough if you were not in the palace.

When the emissary from Ming Nation arrives,

then King Father will be left with no more maneuvers.

No matter how I think about this, it feels like this is an act of God.

A twist of fate.

So, I've made my decision.

From this moment on, I will do my best.

- Yes, sir. A sensible decision. - I agree.

Without you both, there is nothing I could do.

- Ten thousand deaths will not dissuade me, sir. I pledge my life to you. - As with me.

Good. Good.

Drink up.

You are both very bright.

.

What are you doing right now?

Hey, kid. Just hurry and pack some things. Then we'll go back.

What do you mean go back? This is my home.

We were already sold to another place, kid.

If were not back in ten minutes, then we're both dead.

I am not going back. I have to find agassi.

Has agassi just gone next door to play?

Agassi was arrested and brought to the palace. How can you find her, you fool?

Palace? Why?

Agassi is of the family of regicide criminals. After her arrest

- she'll be dragged to Ming Nation or some other place. - What?

What is wrong with you?

.

Wake up. His royal highness is gone.

Could he have just gone out?

Your Royal Highness!

.

Fortunately, he could not go far.

Really fortunate.

What is going on?

Why did he remove all his clothes?

I actually did not know he had these drinking habits.

Who's there?

Is there anything wrong?

Nothing is wrong. Get back to work.

It really stinks.

Hey brat!

Fuck

Hae Gu

- What? - It's not there. - What is?

- The birthmark is not there.

This is not the crown prince.

What should we do?

This is great.

- Hae Gu - What?

Fortunately, this person looks just like the prince.

And so?

While you go look for him, we'll have him play the prince.

What did you say? And if we're found out?

We're dead in any case.

- Just go find the prince. - I understand.

I'm going then.

I'm alive.

Do you know how much I spent to buy you slaves?

- And you actually dare to escape? - I am the crown prince.

Stop for a moment.

What is the brat babbling about?

He says he is the crown prince.

This is a madman.

- Are you the crown prince? - Yes.

Everyone here says you are Deok Chil.

I do not know who Deok Chil is.

- Who is this person? - He is Deok Chil.

I am not Deok Chil. When have you seen me before?

That's right.

Just look. I have silk undergarments. I am the crown prince.

This country's crown prince, Chun Nyeong.

Why are you wearing women's undergarments?

You lunatic!

- The only way to treat a madman is through beating. Continue with the beating! - Yes!

You actually dare to--

I will not tolerate--

That's right. I am Deok Chil.

I am Deok Chil!

Is this a man or a pig?

This taste all must get people sweet-smelling grass crazy.

This mouth.

His Majesty has arrived.

Your Majesty.

I want to talk with the Crown Prince. Is he already asleep?

That is not it.

His Royal Highness had too much to drink that he fell asleep.

The Crown Prince drank wine?

Did this really happen?

Your servant would not dare lie to Your Majesty.

But why is his complexion not good? Is he in pain somewhere?

Your Majesty... That is because...

What is the reason?

This madman!

Is this the Crown Prince?

The Crown Prince has never touched a drop of wine.

Just how much did you have him drink?

Because he is unable to detoxify,

his skin has rotted.

- Damn it. - What?

I'll kick you to death!

He has already gone delirious!

The Crown Prince's body was never like this. Why have you not called for the Imperial Physician?

What have you all been doing?

His hands have also rotted!

Call the Imperial Physician immediately! Immediately!

How is it?

Your humble servant is extremely terrified.

His face has darkened not because it has rotted.

- Then what is wrong? - It is sunburned.

- He must lessen his stay outside. - This ignorant fool!

The Crown Prince has always been studying inside his room. And you say it is sunburn?

Where have you like this barefoot doctor.

But it is indeed sunburn.

This old fool!

People! Lock this old fool up! After you examine him with a club!

Your Majesty! It is sunburn!

Your Majesty! It is sunburn!

Your Majesty! It is sunburn!

In the future, whoever dares offer the Crown Prince wine...

I will never spare them!

He is prohibited from reading books.

He will concentrate only on exercise to develop his strength.

Agassi!

Let's see.

Come here!

- What is going on? - Lower your voice!

This is life child palace. I am escort warrior.

What? Then I am inside the palace?

Then how did I get inside?

Don't you remember anything from last night?

Yes.

- Then what kind of person are you? - I am a slave.

I was really hoping you weren't.

From now on, if you do not want to die, then listen to me well.

The palace is full of people.

So you must be careful.

Are you not going to get up?

I should not be here. I must return to the palace. I am the Crown Prince.

Doek Chil, please stop the act.

Even if you feign madness, you still cannot fool these people.

- Feign madness? This fellow actually dares to-- - I already told you to stop pretending!

And if you were going to put on an act, you should have chosen something more probable.

That way, I could coordinate with you.

Crown Prince? What Crown Prince?

We had better give up, Deok Chil.

You previously motionless askew brains.

We although is like this identity. But we live more natural and unrestrained.

- Deok Chil. We-- - The one you call Deok Chil, who is he exactly?

You! You! You!

This lunatic! And who tied your hair like that?

Get over here immediately! We have work!

He actually called me a madman.

What? I am the Crown Prince?

Keep in mind,

if we're found out, then you and I will inevitably be cut into pieces.

Do you understand?

I won't do this. I am going.

If you want to live then just do what I say. I am not going to say anything more.

Your Royal Highness, are already awake?

Why have you come here, Your Highness?

Am I not allowed to come here?

That is not what I mean.

Is His Royal Highness already awake?

- Not yet. - Is there a woman inside?

What? There is none.

Step aside! Your Royal Highness! I am about to go in.

Now that you have become the Crown Prince, has your love for me also changed?

Your Highness! What have I done wrong?

What is going on?

After he drank last night,

he said people should know how to thank the earth.

He then ran all over the palace grounds barefoot.

How intoxicated exactly was he? Isn't he the kind to not touch a drop of alcohol?

Because he has been extremely distressed over the problem of succeeding the throne lately.

His Highness was actually having a hard time.

And I did not even know.

And here I was being petty.

I am so stupid!

Your Highness.

A woman weeping endlessly on the bedside, so early in the morning...

Isn't this a little...

That is right.

When he wakes up,

have him take a bathe first.

Yes, Your Highness.

Are you still not feeling well?

It's hot.

It does not matter.

I have already asked the servants to keep this confidential.

Please do not to worry.

Allow me to rub your back first.

C-c-can we do the rubbing next time?

We should do that!

I have lived for so long...

You, servants!

How long have you not been scrubbing His Majesty in his bathe? What have you all been doing?

This is such a disgrace.

Disgusting.

What?

You're selling them?

Originally isn't it not renegade family slave.

But we do not have the money to move them.

If word of this got out, it will only cause a lot of headaches.

Then?

I heard...

The local government office is in need of manpower.

They are buying slaves everywhere.

Let them have a look then sell the slaves to them.

What are we doing now?

Where exactly are they dragging me to?

Deok Chil, you brat!

I've been telling you everyday! But you still won't listen!

Get over here, kid! Get over here!

I blame you for this, you fool! Get over here!

You're dead!

Exactly the same.

Here. The Crown Prince always had a book by his side when he had his meals.

You're really crazy.

Even with both my hands free, it still isn't enough.

Hae Gu

This is so difficult.

So fucking difficult!

How could you eat all that food? What were you thinking?

Of course, I had to eat it all. You wanted to me leave you some?

I already told you to be inconspicuous. The Crown Prince only ate meat.

I am going insane. This one is not a piglet.

I... I am... about to go. Reeds... Where can I find reeds?

It's... It's coming out.

Is there anything that won't happen, really?

People! Prepare the plum blossom frame!

Congratulations Your Highness.

Please.

What?

Do you want to go again, Your Majesty?

If you are already done, then allow me.

Please wait a moment.

This kid is really disgusting.

Other people are eating and he's over there taking a dump.

What's he doing?

Has the constant beatings

really caused problems with his brains?

What?

I'm done.

What?

Are you insane?

So? What do you want me to do?

Don't just look at me.

You should know what to do.

What? You want me to clean you?

Precisely.

My leg... My leg is killing me.

Quickly! Quickly!

Yes. Yes, My Lord Prince.

What a man of poor social status must do...

Move a little bit forward... A little bit more...

Move a little more.

That's right.

That's good. That's good.

You lunatic! What do you want me to do?

- Stool! - What has this world come to? You want me to wipe your butt?

You're disgusting.

Disgusting! Disgusting!

Move!

Your Royal Highness

What are you doing over there?

I am. Royal family assist to guard to take charge of one's affiliation.

Escort life child Your Highness.

Escort department first class warrior.

What did you say?

Is to protect life child warrior.

What did you say?

Is to protect life child warrior.

I am here!

Your Highness. Please wait a little bit more.

I thought it was something else.

Why are you just standing here? Get rid of the madman!

Hae Gu!

Your Royal Highness, I am here.

Oh, is that so?

How did it go?

Your Royal Highness

I will be with you for better or for worse.

With me?

What are you doing?

Why did you come out?

That is... Actually...

While I was outside, I waited on an agassi.

She was arrested and brought to the palace.

Is it possible for me to confirm whether she is safe?

No.

How can a person be so mean?

Where can I find the prison?

How would I know?

If you do anything rash,

it will be the end of the road for both of us.

I must go.

I must find agassi.

Even so, I will still go.

What?

You found someone

who looked exactly like me?

Yes

How could this be happening?

Hae Gu

At that time, my brain surely must have shut off.

We will soon be going back.

How?

Am I not here now?

What can you do?

I am really disappointed in you!

Use then jack of all trades ability. How done I escort warrior?

About that, actually...

Is. My father with soldiers class or grade to judge book related min. 300 stone rice.

And the positions got mixed up.

I only wanted to guard the city gate.

You actually used the back door.

That's right! The back door!

I am deeply terrified.

For I am not

some legendary swordsman.

One or two fellows, I can handle.

But I can't do anything if they pull out their swords.

Who sent the assassins?

You have not been assassinated yet.

Until now, you are still not safe.

Hold your tongue!

Stop talking nonsense.

Quickly think of a plan to get out of here!

Aigoo. Really can exactly one's employment.

And exactly to go out madman.

This is your only chance.

Your playing as Crown Prince must not have one trace of inaccuracy.

If something were to go wrong...

Remember, you, me and the woman... we won't be able to escape death.

Your Highness! She is ready!

Immediately! Let her in!

Sit down.

Surely you must have heard

that I will become this country's monarch.

If you lie with me tonight,

then you... you will be a princess.

What do you think? Does it not feel like meat pie falling from the heavens?

I will not do it.

I already have someone special.

Then who... who... who is that damn fellow?

Speak out! Where is that brat?

Could that brat be a slave?

The brat whose departed mother

asked you to take care of?

He grew up with this countenance.

Is this the slave brat?

.

Agassi, it's me Deok Chil.

I am Deok Chil.

But...

Why are you here?

It's hard to explain in a few words.

Agassi

Agassi?

.

Your visits have become more frequent lately.

- Is His Royal Highness inside? - Yes.

He is currently studying The Rites of Zhou.

It is almost...

His Royal Highness is also a man.

Please understand.

It is not that I cannot understand.

I can understand.

I just cannot put up with it.

.

Your smelly servant girl!

What place do you think this is?

To have the impertinence to seduce the Crown Prince!

Let go! Let me go!

What is your origin?

Speak up at once!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

What do you mean wait?

Because of this woman?

I won't let you off.

.

- Let go! Let go! - Calm down, Your Highness.

- Actually, I... - Why?

Why?

Do you know where you are touching right now?

I know what Your Highness is feeling.

As a woman, like you, I can completely understand.

Though it may take a while to explain...

- But this person-- - Hold your tongue!

I didn't expect His Highness' interests

to actually be this unique.

Today's matters,

I absolutely will not sit idly by.

How could you insult me like this?

Quickly put out all the candles.

And from when scissors candle.

Quickly put it out, kid.

Eyes as big as a frog's.

She also has those tawdry double eyelids.

Her lips are like those of a toad fish.

She must look really peculiar.

Your Highness! Your Highness!

You scared me to death.

Quickly! Hurry!

Really!

.

Hurry!

They couldn't have gone far!

Search for them everywhere!

Your Highness! I can't run anymore!

Be quiet!

Grand escort warrior.

If you cannot fight, then you must be useful for your strength!

- Hurry! - Over there! Get them!

Get them!

Hurry! Run!

Forget it.

Stop right there!

Stop right there!

Get them! Get them!

These are the official ranks within the palace.

I used stars

to mark them.

This is the consul, a person you should take note of.

Is ability send.

You do not understand. I also don't know how you can.

Royal Family Genealogy

You do not understand.

That's right. I also don't know how you can.

You cannot.

Congratulations Your Majesty.

Congratulations Your Highness.

Those are mine!

-=We ate well. Wine and women are the best=-

We ate well!

Wine female best. Life child loyal peaceful Lee.

You're just going to eat and run?

The meat smells fishy. I am not going to eat it!

Find the butcher. Investigate rigorously!

What's going on?

It is downhill from here.

Can you please come down?

The scenery is really good.

How can you

not even think of other people's position?

What? Are you

blaming me right now?

It is not to blame.

Insolent! I am the Crown Prince!

What Crown Prince?

Didn't you say you were unsuitable to be Crown Prince?

Didn't you say you do not want to be the Crown Prince?

This insolent!

It would be better if we just returned to the palace. I beg you!

You do not want to be the king.

You are afraid of your hyeong.

Yet you yell out that you are the Crown Prince when you are tired.

- What am I supposed to do exactly? - Enough!

I beg you, stop acting like a child.

Until when will you deceive yourself?

I asked you to stop.

What I am saying is

you should not avoid your ascension to the throne like this.

Have you ever thought about what will happen to the palace?

I beg you. We must go back to the palace.

I cannot. Can we just wait until that time? Then we'll talk again.

Just until that time.

I don't know! I don't know! I don't know!

If you want to starve to death or be eaten by tigers, then do as you please!

I don't care!

Hae Gu, didn't you say you'll protect me until the end?

Where are you going?

I said I would protect the Crown Prince!

Who said I would protect a naive little brat?

- I don't have anything to do with you anymore! - Hae Gu! Hae Gu!

Get up. Get up.

Thank you, Hae Gu.

Sir you confident full have said.

Then resolute lofty quality.

Have at responsibility for she.

Training.

Your servant is terrified.

For I do not understand the meaning of your words.

I heard

Chung Nyeong's recent actions are somewhat odd.

Could he

be having a change of heart?

That does not make any sense.

I heard of the matters that occurred, that is why I asked.

It is also possible for men to be this way.

He hasn't glanced upon a book lately.

- From eating only meat to eating only vegetables. - He is defecating more frequently.

The smell is not the same.

The color is more of a darker yellow

compared to the usual.

To draw conclusion from the analysis,

he is eating more

and has a golden-colored stool.

Apparently his physique has changed.

His ability to exercise?

Forgive me?

What I mean is his martial arts practice.

We should not have such high hopes for you to achieve such level.

You won't.

We from basic movement started. Three between's angry.

Must I do that?

They'll suspect if you won't.

Observe!

Not like this, brat!

Why? Why?

They'll suspect if you do not practice.

What do you mean suspect? Who doesn't?

Let them all see.

It's the ocean, the ocean.

We are at the end of the road.

Stay!

I'm begging you. Please save me.

I'm begging you. I'm begging you.

How did their circumstances

become so grave?

The common people going through such suffering,

this is really a cause for confusion.

The common people are confused themselves.

Who knew that the Crown Prince is this sort of person?

- There you go again! - What? What? What?

Nothing.

Hae Gu

That is... I am hungry.

Where can we go

to get something to eat?

This person!

After seeing all these... still... he still has no thought of reflecting on his ways.

.

It looks like you're getting by really well.

What are you?

It seems like you already consider everyone to be beneath you.

You, who are you?

You?

Really!

That's right. It is already like this.

Why did you not run away?

Why? Have you already had other thoughts, sitting in that position?

You really want to be the king?

I said who are you?

I can understand.

I heard

that your martial arts is very good.

But you are also

quick on wine and women.

People!

Get this madman out of here immediately!

People!

Madman?

You brat! You're becoming more and more outrageous!

You are still--

You are really forcing me.

The cushion was really slippery.

This madman.

.

From eating only meat to eating only vegetables.

Compared to the usual, he is eating more.

He hasn't glanced upon a book lately.

and has a golden-colored stool.

The smell is not the same.

To draw conclusion from the analysis, apparently his physique has changed.

His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince

It seems like he is not the Crown Prince.

If the Crown Prince is not the Crown Prince. Then who is he?

The Crown Prince

is not the Crown Prince.

My Lord!

What is the matter?

Chung Nyeong...

I mean, Yang Nyeong fought with Chung Nyeong.

What?

There is no need.

I am fine.

It will all end here.

That is why...

Why? Why didn't you enter much sooner?

That is because you didn't know the Grand Prince Yang Nyeong.

In the palace, except for His Majesty,

no one dares to provoke him.

As if the sudden withdrawal from the position of Crown Prince was not injustice enough,

but to be your younger brother's bitch...

Such a big disgrace to suffer.

Th- th- then what will we do now?

What else can we do?

There is nothing else to do.

His Majesty has arrived.

What should I do? What should I do?

.

Did you really

beat Yang Nyeong?

I should die ten thousand deaths.

You did well!

If you want to become this country's monarch,

you must have that spirit!

Get up.

As expected

flesh and blood is flesh and blood.

But

what is this fellow supposed to be? Why has he been merely sitting there all this time?

Your Majesty

My leg is cramped.

Cramped?

I'll show you cramped!

My leg is cramped!

Are you still not going to stand up?

My leg is cramped, Your Majesty.

- This fellow! - No. My cramped leg is already fine.

That is why I can now stand.

Your Highness, it's dangerous!

Get up! Quick!

Father!

What are they doing? They look like officials.

What crime have they committed? How could they bully the common people like this?

Don't concern yourself with these. Let's just go!

How could they do that?

They can do that.

Don't mind them. Let's just go.

I heard you. Stop pulling me.

Don't crowd. Take it slowly.

There's food. Food.

Don't worry.

Make way!

Are you still not going to get back to work?

I told you to go back!

Don't you know that you are not allowed to leave the premises?

How can this person not have compassion? If I could just distribute these to them.

- It will all be distributed in a moment. - Are you still not going back to your positions?

Get back to work immediately!

That's right. What is left is ours.

Elderly.

Can you give me something to eat? Even just one.

.

Thank you!

This bastard!

What?

What? So the old man was the banished Lord Hwang Hui?

That's right.

But... Didn't he recognize you?

If it were you, would you recognize me if I look like this?

That's right.

Hand it over.

What?

Are you just going to eat by yourself?

Please help me!

My father is ill!

He could die if we don't get out of here.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Why are you just standing there? Hurry!

You didn't give me...

.

- Are you all right? - After all the trouble of getting this.

- Over there! Someone's trying to escape!

- Father! Father! - Get them! Go after them!

Hurry! Over there!

Stop right there immediately!

Carry him! Hurry!

This is far from good.

Hurry up!

I am going insane. No wonder my premonition was far from encouraging.

Are you still not going to stop?

Stop right there!

We must take him to a doctor immediately.

Where is the doctor's house?

There is none.

Only government offices have clinics.

.

But we can go to the elderly's house.

Where is that place?

It's over that mountain.

Hae Gu! Carry him quick!

Over there, over there.

It should be over there.

What do you mean should be?

Hurry! Hurry!

What do you mean should be?

This is really great.

So good.

So good.

Scalding!

It looks about right.

The problem is with the combination.

How exactly do I adjust the water temperature again?

.

This fellow. Oneself have not to test a moment. Today to terminate the fellow.

That's it?

My Lord!

What is it? This fellow!

Don't bother me. If you want to do something then do it yourself.

My Lord.

My father... my father is very ill.

You actually had to find me.

- Get inside quickly. - What are we going to do?

What are these two doing? You still won't bring the man inside?

Father

Excuse me.

Father, please wake up.

Damn it.

To actually force them up to this extent... Is a person's life not important?

What has this world come to?

Critically ill common people are dying.

And there isn't even a doctor nearby to look after them.

We really cannot blame the heavens for this.

Hae Gu, get me some Humifuse Euphorbia herbs.

What?

Thank you!

Don't worry too much.

He will be well in no time.

Hae Gu! Let's go!

This fellow!

Young ones are really indifferent.

After leaving the victim here, he'll just set of by himself.

I can tell just by looking at the person's appearance.

Sure enough, he isn't the kind capable of managing the common people.

I know of a person with the same countenance.

That fellow also

only knew how to think about himself.

If that kind of a person were to become this country's king

then I can only give out a sigh.

Why?

Don't talk back. Let's just go.

Apart from your reluctance to admit mistakes, of what other use are you?

That is why those who only sit on desks and read books

are incapable of governing this country.

Poverty is something I cannot change.

Do you really believe that?

No. That is not it...

In governing a country, apart from these problems, other matters that need doing are piling up as high as mountains.

What matter could be more important than the pain and difficulties suffered by the people?

If the king cannot alleviate the common people's suffering, then I am forced to come here.

Come with me!

Wait for me here.

I will go see if the owner can come out immediately.

People!

Carry this!

Thief! Get them! Get the thief!

Get the thief! Thief! Over there!

I'm hungry!

Food

The common people are starving to death,

and this king is just sitting here pretending not to see.

Food

It is not like that.

It is not like that!

Why are you crying so sadly?

I was thinking of my mother and dongsaeng.

Where are they?

They were dragged to be slave servants to a Lord's family.

I do not even know whether they are dead or alive.

There weren't any letters.

Then...

Do you know where the house is?

And what if I knew?

You could write them a letter to verify, isn't this possible?

That is of no use. They are both illiterate.

How could they read the letter?

They could ask someone

to read it aloud for them.

I will help you write.

Find someone who can deliver it to them.

You know how to write?

How could a slave be literate?

A slave can also learn.

If they are illiterate, how will they live?

Don't be sad anymore.

You will surely see your mother and sister again.

It seems like the old man has seen through us.

When you are about to answer, just shift to another subject.

So book bamboo mat for sitting just started. Book bamboo mat for sitting is Joseon era chancellor with crown prince together to discuss the classics activity.

Please begin.

Today's weather is really...

With regards to the third chapter of the political articles of The Analects of Confucius,

Confucius mentioned

Three nobleman's direction.

I want to hear Your Royal Highness' opinions.

That... About that...

But... doesn't it feel like it is about to rain?

Quickly expound on the subject!

So-called. Nobleman three direction.

Heaven! Earth! Black!

Heaven and Earth. One is black. One is yellow.

If the king were to regard the common people as heaven, then the earth is for cherishing.

Rice crops are yellow... yellow...

Will it rain?

The Crown Prince has read The Analects of Confucius since he was ten years old.

As for the third chapter of the political articles...

Direction's as political,.'s as punishment,. The people to excuse sb and without any sense of shame content.

How could the Crown Prince not know this? What exactly is going on?

I planned everything!

So you are saying

the real Crown Prince has ran away from the palace

and this fellow is an impostor?

I am guilty and should die ten thousand deaths!

Please kill me.

If you want to keep on living

you will listen to what I say.

But... could you say it a little more simpler?

From now on, Your Royal Highness is Your Royal Highness.

That is why, say it a little more simpler.

From now on, Your Royal Highness is not Deok Chil anymore.

But is the real Crown Prince who will become the future king.

What did you just say?

There is someone with the same countenance as the prince

who has been wreaking havoc all over the place.

Pretending to be the Crown Prince,

he cheats the people of their wealth,

and takes liberties with decent women.

The common people are already in an uproar.

Could there be such a vile person?

For the royal family's dignity and the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince,

Your servant earnestly requests for immediate adoptive measures.

To transmit an order justice to endure seat of government city.

Immediately send out an army to seize this fellow.

Your servant senior imperial decree.

Is this much commotion necessary to bring back one man?

His severed head will do.

Even if you didn't say so, I have already given them that order.

Elderly! It is already finished.

Is that so? Is it finished?

You didn't even dip it in ink. How could you...

This to be called to insert general. ( Korean language in and mechanical pencil to pronounce to resemble ) Every time to dip in ink too sorry to trouble. Then to invent this.

Looks like there is nothing special about this.

To insert general.

The ink just flows directly to the pen shaft when you use it.

To insert general.

This is useless.

This is really mystical.

Aside from this,

have you invented something else?

I have.

Everyone!

On the ground!

.

Another failure!

You idiot!

I knew it would be like this.

How can we fight off pirates if all we have is this?

Why can't you do even one thing right?

This useless kid!

There he goes being petty.

You all saw it. Was I wrong?

Was I?

Don't be too crestfallen.

Gold will one day shine.

You must continue with your inventions.

I like it very much.

Officers are headed this way.

We shouldn't be here. We must run. Let's go!

Please take my child with you.

Don't, father!

- Hurry! - Father!

Father!

These fellows! What are you doing here?

You should know that you shouldn't be doing this.

These are fugitive slaves!

With you, these people will be beaten to death, starved to death or be killed by the pirates.

Exactly when can these people live?

Do you still think of yourself as a High Official Lord?

If you want to enter this place, you must first get an imperial edict.

As far as I'm concerned, the county magistrate's orders are imperial edicts.

What are you all doing?

Take them back immediately!

Yes!

What are you doing?

He escaped together with his daughter.

Where is his daughter?

You still won't stop this?

Father!

Father!

This child! Don't!

Father!

No! Run away!

Father

Go back!

This kid.

Father

Take them away!

Let us go in.

This temper of yours, Your Highness!

I once read from a book... if we encounter weakness then weakness will follow.

encounter strength then strength will follow.

Those damn books!

If I had a torch, I'd burn them all down!

Be quiet!

I have a bad feeling about this.

This...

Who wrote this?

It was by that slave.

Is that so? Could he be an imperial censor in disguise?

He can't be. He looks like a peasant.

He could also be a madman.

Is it like that?

Of course. It should be that. That's right.

But if we think about it... A slave who knows how to write... It doesn't make any sense.

And he says he is the Crown Prince... of this country... this is also worthy of suspicion.

Say like this as it should be by rights ; proper and to be expected as a matter of course.

- Are you the Crown Prince? - Yes

See... I think he's good for it.

If it's convenient for you, can we go inside and talk?

You! Deok Chil! You brat!

Don't get any funny ideas!

I know that slave.

We were sold together when that fellow escaped.

Over there!

- Bring him over. - Yes.

I know him well.

We used to eat and sleep together. Deok Chil, you brat! You know me, right?

This man, do you know him?

I do not know him.

This lunatic!

Are you still pretending to be the Crown Prince?

Do you know how much suffering we had to go through because of you?

That's enough. Take him inside.

Why should I go through this much hardship because of you?

I still think he is just a madman.

You mentioned fugitives,

and a field of forced laborers,

as well as abusive and corrupt officials.

Abusive and corrupt officials... Do you mean me?

That's right.

I will have you all--

Take him to the field!

Those who goof off die, kid.

Get up, quick!

These brats!

Elderly.

- Can I ask you something? - What?

All these, right now... What are they exactly doing?

Because these county magistrates wants to go horseback riding,

they are going to build a racecourse.

This bunch of scoundrels.

Just because of that small matter,

they've mobilized this many slaves?

This place is where the pirates often come to loot.

This being the case, with this many people, wouldn't it make more sense if they started a project to build a city wall over there?

But what folly is this right now?

Racecourse? The bunch of scoundrels.

How could the royal court not know about this?

How would they know?

The king's mind surely must be occupied with how to maintain his power.

While those under him are all going like this, hatching their own plans.

Who has time to think about the matters of the country?

It will slowly change for the better, elderly.

For the better?

The young Crown Prince right now is just rubbish! What do you mean for the better?

It's because of him that I became like this!

Because I gave him meat that smelled fishy, he had me dragged here!

It won't be long until he succeeds the throne, then he will be the king!

Then what will change for the better?

What? Succeed the throne?

Just wait until I get out of this place! I will go to the palace and find him!

And I will... Hack him to death! Hack him to death! Hack him to death!

Hae Gu! Hae Gu!

Hae Gu!

There surely is something going on in the palace.

.

Did you hear what he just said?

Remember! You must do what I told you to do.

I won't do it! I'm not doing it!

Someone is injured over here!

Immediately call for a doctor.

Call what doctor?

Those dying are just piled up.

Move him over to that side! Everyone else, get on with work!

Go back to work now!

Hae Gu! Do we have other plans?

This weed...

Does it work?

It was written in China's medical book (Yellow Emperor's internal canon)

that this can stop the bleeding

and is effective in preventing inflammation.

Tired of pretending to be the Crown Prince,

he is now pretending to be a doctor.

I am sorry.

From this moment on, you will listen to everything I say.

If His Highness will keep his mouth shut,

then the whole country, the people, and all the valuables

will be His Highness'.

In other words, you will become Joseon's king.

But if His Highness will open his mouth,

and reveal the truth,

When that time comes, you will die by my hands.

How could I? I won't do it! I won't do it!

How did it go?

Agassi!

Take her away!

Agassi!

This fellow!

That woman's life

is in Your Highness' hands.

I will keep her in the harem.

where she can enjoy all the luxuries of the palace.

Or should I have her dragged to the Ming Nation?

What will you have me do?

To make a person like me be king,

what do you really want to do?

His Highness gets the whole Joseon.

As for me... I will have His Highness.

And so when the emissary of the Ming Nation arrives,

we will hold the ceremony of your accession to the throne.

I

am the king.

To have come all this way,

the journey must have been exhausting.

Every time I come to Joseon,

I feel like a celebration is being held of my return.

The grand reception... as well as the precious gifts.

Of course.

For state officials,

it should be like this.

But...

The tribute maiden offered last time, I must complain, was of inferior quality.

So this time, I want to have a look first.

Such fantastic oddities of every description.

From where did these freaks come from?

Slowly take a look at each one of them.

I think

one or two of these are not bad.

Ming Nation. The emperor of the Ming Nation.

Don't compare his vision with yours.

I ought to!

There is a child over by that side. But isn't she still very young?

She's old enough.

Sit down.

You wench.

You!

You!

.

.

.

.

Fine?

I will now begin, come over here?

Agassi

Let's go, agassi

.

Help!

.

.

No!

Is he not over there?

This!

This!

This damn thing!

What?

The Crown Prince is missing?

Your servant is terrified.

It seems that way.

How could he

go missing?

What do you mean missing?

I have searched all of heaven and earth,

and I still could not find the Crown Prince.

Yeong Sang!

You this is should to solitary words to say.

Your servant is terrified, Your Majesty!

What terrified?

I am telling you, Yeong Sang!

And you listen to me well!

If this matter will lead to the collapse of the royal family's reputation,

then I will hold you responsible for all of this, Yeong Sang.

And not only you, Yeong Sang!

Your kins as well,

your family will suffer such a calamity!

Your Majesty!

What Your Majesty? Scoundrel!

You will all be sent to the Ming Nation

in accordance with the orders from the top.

As presents to the Ming Nation,

they are preparing specialties from this place.

This is the only way we can return to the palace.

The only method.

We will start off early in the morning.

Do not let dew in! Cover it properly!

You! You!

.

This lunatic.

One moment, you're the Crown Prince.

another moment, you're a doctor.

Now

you're even pretending to be kelp.

Get out, you lunatic! What are you doing? Get out!

What are you doing?

What are you looking at?

That...

I thought I saw a mouse inside.

.

.

I don't want to!

This servant girl!

My Lord.

I can't.

I beg you.

What's going on?

Just because she was chosen to be the tribute to the Ming Nation, she's been making so much noise.

My Lord.

Wait a moment!

What is going on right now?

My Lord! Please save me, My Lord!

What will my father do if I'm not around?

It will be all right. I am here.

This servant girl!

How could you

think of the sacrifice for your country at par with you father?

Take her back!

My Lord.

Hold it!

Really! What is so urgent?

Isn't she,

as a tribute,

a little too young?

Yes.

Strip her.

What?

In those places...

I want to check whether her body has already ripened.

So strip her.

What are you doing? Strip her, quick!

Yes.

No! Don't go! Don't go!

Are you insane?

Stop! You bunch of scoundrels!

Take her to my room.

No!

Stop!

Will you not stop?

You bunch of scoundrels!

You have gone too far!

Disguised under human skin,

how could you do such a thing?

You again!

Then we'll just see.

What are you doing?

Beat him!

.

I'll show you!

I'll show you! I'll show you!

I'll show you! You, bastard!

My Lord! My Lord!

This man is a lunatic.

Even if you beat him to death, it still--

Are you with him?

You're with him, brat?

You maggot.

Why are you just standing there?

Beat them to death!

Hit him!

Scoundrel!

Stop it!

Do you know who he is?

He is

Precious's body.

You, who are you?

I am. Royal family assist to guard to take charge of one's affiliation.

That hurts!

Stop!

County one's grandfather.

County one's grandfather.

What?

What is it now?

What is with this day?

Why are there so many characters appearing on scene?

I am here, acting under orders, to apprehend a traitor.

Bring him out!

Neck to resist order.

Imperial order?

We're saved.

This man is guilty of claiming himself to be the Crown Prince, as well as causing chaos among the common people.

He will be beheaded as execution!

This is an imperial order!

Let me go!

I am the Crown Prince.

the Crown Prince.

Execute!

No!

Who are you?

This person...

is the true Crown Prince!

Open all your dog eyes wide and look carefully.

Do you all know what you are doing?

This has happened many times!

There's a bunch of pirates!

Pirates!

Chief Jeong!

Think of a plan! What should we do?

Your Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness!

If this continues,

wouldn't the people also be killed by the explosion?

It will do to just kill the malefactors.

Don't you know who I am?

I am Zhang Yeong Sil.

Yeong Sil

What are you doing?

Reload!

Ok, I know.

Those guys!

Get on.

What?

I will carry you! Hurry!

Your Royal Highness!

How could I? How could I?

Hurry! Hurry!

.

If you run, you'll die.

Help!

Song Bi!

This kid!

Go! Go!

Just go!

Hurry and Go, kid!

Go! Go!

Go, kid!

Go! Go!

Go!

Go!

I do not want to become the King!

.

What Crown Prince?

Didn't you say you do not want to be the Crown Prince?

You do not want to be the king.

You are afraid of your hyeong.

Yet you yell out

that you are the Crown Prince when you are tired.

I'm begging you. Please save me.

What matter could be more important than the pain and difficulties suffered by the people?

Agassi, the boat's here.

.

That kid!

That kid was the one who replaced Your Highness.

.

You bastard.

You!

What are you, really?

You are obviously the Crown Prince.

Why do you not want to become king?

When wang is that so more work that needs to be done?

Get properly young people.

Just like this to send other country. Make any sense.

Why did you run away?

I am sorry.

They said they'd kill you.

I thought I was going to die.

Kill?

What do you mean?

Faster!

It's that man!

Please wait a moment, agassi.

.

Arrest him!

Stop right there!

Why has he still not come?

Immediately bring the Crown Prince over here!

Your Majesty.

I beg you.

I beg you!

How did it go?

My Lord, it's done.

I have already brought him back.

Really?

They were on Mapo pier when we cornered them and headed back to the palace.

This brat! I ought to!

But there were two of them.

Two?

They looked exactly the same. One was dressed as the Crown Prince.

The other was dressed as a slave.

This bunch of idiots!

The slave was the real Chung Nyeong!

Didn't you understand what I meant?

Cut off his head immediately!

Your Highness!

- Your Highness! - What are you all doing?

Hwang Gu is here!

It is indeed Hwang Gu.

Hae Gu!

Hae Gu, protect His Royal Highness!

What are you doing?

This is the real Crown Prince!

Retreat now!

This is an imperial order! Step aside!

I am tired of living!

Come!

Charge!

Just to have you ascend to the throne,

do you know how much energy I spent?

Do you know how much condescension I had to go through because of you?

There's no more time. Prepare yourself immediately.

Go and greet the Ming Nation emissary.

As I've said before,

no matter what the officials say,

what I say goes.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I understand.

The situation is critical.

The Lord said to find Your Highness and kill him.

Lord

How can you

walk ahead of the Crown Prince?

What did you just say?

A king following a court official.

This is a bit odd, so I asked.

King?

This brat still has not cleared his head.

Didn't I already say that you are now mine?

I'm sorry.

In this place, other people's eyes might see.

Still, walk behind me.

If,

after I finish this cup of wine,

the Crown Prince still hasn't arrived,

then I will regard it as the Crown Prince of Joseon looking down on His Majesty, the Emperor.

And truthfully report this to His Majesty.

Then, what will happen then?

Think about this well.

May I ask, were you looking for me?

King Father

Your son, temporarily, had to be inconsiderate for there were urgent matters that needed my attention.

I ask for your forgiveness.

Have you gone insane?

I have so many things to talk about with King Father.

But surely, the emissary must be eager to meet me.

Thus I must first pay my respects.

Greetings emissary.

I am the Crown Prince Chung Nyeong.

You're completely

different from last night, Crown Prince.

You actually know courtesy.

Why?

Has my mention of telling the Emperor of the rudeness of Joseon

made you afraid?

In any case,

if you want to become Joseon's king,

Want gotten I to make a pilgrimage yes imperial decree.

This is a necessity.

I am someone

who can forget last night's matters.

Pour me a cup.

This brazen dog of a thing!

How dare you treat the Crown Prince of Joseon this way!

Crown Prince.

Are you insane?

Shut up and listen!

Are you insulting me right now?

This Joseon Prince actually dares to scold the emissary of the great Ming Nation!

To scold me is to scold the emperor! Do you know that?

The emperor is the emperor!

You are you!

Your Majesty!

Your too much.

Ming Nation

Is me Joseon irresistible stronger's country.

To to make your servant to put out.

Now life child move.

Inevitably to draw come greatly disaster.

Be quiet!

.

When the highest minister paints this kind of picture,

no wonder the Ming Nation

looks down on Joseon!

Your Majesty!

Let's go.

Everyone, listen to me well!

The unequal relation between Joseon and the Ming Nation

will end here!

That is because

the pain and difficulties suffered by the common people of our country

is just too much.

If such unequal relations goes on,

then long after we're gone, our later generations

will have to suffer the same fate.

That is because you do not understand politics!

Politics is--

Then Lord, sir.

Do you understand politics?

Domestically lacking in livelihood.

Externally watched over by foreign powers.

Is this politics?

Your Majesty!

Your servant is extremely concerned

of the Crown Prince's words.

I beg you to reconsider.

Enough.

Your Majesty!

Really!

So then...

The politics you think of,

what are these?

According to Confucius

For outstanding politics,

the people must have conviction,

the sergeant must conserve his health,

and the people must have work and rest.

It is exactly these three things.

Of these three, which one is most important?

Surely, King Father knew of this long ago.

Among these three,

if we were to give up all,

there is one thing we should never give up.

I. Loyal peaceful. Lee.

inorder to obtain the common people's trust,

for the common people

I will observe this politics.

Confucius is our ancestor.

Our outstanding ancestor.

What are you saying to yourself?

Do you still have something you want to say?

Nothing.

Why are you always targeting me?

What do you want me to do?

Please forgive

my rudeness, Your Majesty.

You have already apologized sincerely.

I and how will not to speak feelings and sensibilities?

I have already forgiven you.

Please rise.

Receive this wine from me,

and the past will be forgotten.

Please!

Here.

Everyone!

On with the celebration!

Lord!

We still have something to repay you, Lord.

Please accept them.

Catch them!

Stop right there!

I'm not stealing anything big? Why did so many of you come?

Can't you just turn a blind a eye?

Please go back to the palace. This is an imperial order.

What?

Eonni! (Eonni - older sister)

Dan Bi!

Dan Bi!

Dan Bi!

Mother!

Long live. Long live. Long live.

Long live. Long live. Long live.

This late in the evening,

how can I help Your Majesty?

Pressing matters.

I want to talk, that's why I came here.

What exactly

are we going to talk about?

Let's go inside and talk.

Why are you undressing...

Get over here!

All of you

Is royal family assist to guard to take charge of one's affiliation.

Martial art hall grade 2 warrior.

Study well with me.

Yes!

Get ready!

One more time.

Because our country's language is different from China's...

Like this like this to toss from side to side I.

If I

If I had stayed there... then they wouldn't even have a bone to eat.

Stop running! Stop running!

Do you know?

You're always talking about these things.

It seems like you're having regrets.

It's not like that.

Then you honest continue to read.

I can do prenatal education.

Because our country's language

is different from China's,

Word and words cannot get to unify.

Good enough. Play with father!
