This is a hoe for the rice paddy, and this is a hoe for the dry field. 26 00:02:57,870 --> 00:03:01,000 There are different types of soil, so you most certainly need different instruments. 27 00:03:01,483 --> 00:03:07,387 Because the people use one instrument only, only one plant comes out where it should be two, 28 00:03:07,388 --> 00:03:10,188 and half a plant comes out where there should be one. 29 00:03:12,341 --> 00:03:19,258 The prince tried to control the merchant clans. 30 00:03:19,809 --> 00:03:22,920 But that is not the only thing that is important in Chosun. 31 00:03:24,677 --> 00:03:29,440 Whether it's food or clothing, our nation lacks in production. 32 00:03:30,146 --> 00:03:35,313 We have to increase production so that the people do not starve. 33 00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:55,535 If it's alright with you, may I borrow some of the books you have written? 34 00:03:56,162 --> 00:04:03,217 Why? Do you want to turn me over to the authorities for insurgency? 35 00:04:04,864 --> 00:04:10,556 No. I'm sure there are many things in it that I can learn from. 36 00:04:11,936 --> 00:04:18,434 Do what you want. I'll just use it for fire kindling anyway. 37 00:04:19,434 --> 00:04:24,268 You can take it and use it when you go to the outhouse. 38 00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:45,644 So Lord Kim Gui Joo was with the Minister of Personnel? 39 00:04:45,645 --> 00:04:49,126 Yes, Your Highness.

We must be calm about this. 47 00:05:26,935 --> 00:05:30,341 Then what are you suggesting? 48 00:05:30,709 --> 00:05:37,006 Give me some time.

It is the old-fashioned thinking of men that prohibits women from becoming artists. 199 00:21:47,610 --> 00:21:51,716 So I was thinking of helping you out. 200 00:21:54,288 --> 00:22:00,300 I will inform the Bureau. I want you to paint here in my palace. 201 00:22:01,771 --> 00:22:06,819 Even though you have been allowed to take lessons, it will not be easy for you to become an artist. 202 00:22:07,598 --> 00:22:13,084 And it will be impossible for you to attain Senior Artist status. 203 00:22:13,733 --> 00:22:23,471 But if you align yourself with me, you may have more opportunities than the present. 204 00:22:24,675 --> 00:22:28,950 But Your Highness, I am uneducated and without talent. 205 00:22:29,315 --> 00:22:32,054 I may become a burden to you. 206 00:22:32,512 --> 00:22:38,806 Leave that to me. You will come here starting next month. 207 00:22:43,143 --> 00:22:46,962 - Do you understand? - Yes, Your Highness. 208 00:22:47,738 --> 00:22:50,810 You may leave. 209 00:22:51,866 --> 00:22:56,108 - Your Highness, Secretary Jung is here. - Let him enter. 210 00:23:05,443 --> 00:23:07,902 What is this, Mother? 211 00:23:08,654 --> 00:23:13,432 I told you I was going to find out the true relationship between that girl and the Prince. 212 00:23:14,064 --> 00:23:18,519 - So what is your plan? - Leave it to me. 213 00:23:19,413 --> 00:23:22,825 More importantly, what is happening with your plan? 214 00:23:24,499 --> 00:23:27,591 The Second Royal Secretary had been working his influence at the Royal Arsenal. 215 00:23:29,490 --> 00:23:31,570 The Royal Arsenal? 216 00:23:31,571 --> 00:23:35,435 It is where the fireworks for the year-end festival is being prepared. 217 00:23:37,693 --> 00:23:41,933 I am certain his plan is to assassinate the prince in front of everyone at the festival. 218 00:23:47,916 --> 00:23:54,499 If Her Majesty succeeds in her plan with the Second Royal Secretary and the Personnel Minister, 219 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,414 we will lose everything. 220 00:23:59,027 --> 00:24:05,948 - She wants to exclude us! - Don't worry, I will not let that happen. 221 00:24:26,792 --> 00:24:31,094 This book is so rare even noblemen cannot find it. How did you come across it? 222 00:24:45,364 --> 00:24:48,419 Are you certain that she went into Princess Hwa Wan's chambers? 223 00:24:48,741 --> 00:24:53,167 Yes, Your Highness. She is a conniving and manipulative wench! 224 00:24:53,627 --> 00:24:59,033 When you asked her about Secretary Jung, she swore that she didn't know who he was! 225 00:24:59,034 --> 00:25:02,361 But now look, she is intimate with the princess! 226 00:25:02,806 --> 00:25:05,865 That girl lied to you, Your Highness! 227 00:25:07,709 --> 00:25:12,107 - Why would she do that? - I told you, Your Highness! 228 00:25:12,108 --> 00:25:17,357 I told you she was suspicious! I told you she may be working for the enemy! 229 00:25:18,093 --> 00:25:23,317 She's not the prince's friend, but a spy planted by the princess! 230 00:25:26,509 --> 00:25:32,134 Your Highness, you must cut her off at the root. She must not be allowed near you! 231 00:25:32,444 --> 00:25:36,227 If you don't do anything, she will become dangerous! 232 00:25:53,930 --> 00:26:00,214 - What did you think, Minister? - As you said, he has a keen political sense. 233 00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:08,992 The writings were crude and unrefined, but I was amazed at his sharp observations. 234 00:26:09,884 --> 00:26:12,819 I am glad you agree with me. 235 00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:19,571 - I feel like I have met a kindred spirit. - But you must be cautious, your Highness. 236 00:26:21,530 --> 00:26:28,165 Is it not dangerous to allow this man to go free with this kind of thinking and opinions? 237 00:26:29,743 --> 00:26:35,526 I agree with you. But you cannot punish someone for his opinion. 238 00:26:36,243 --> 00:26:40,160 We must allow men to think freely. 239 00:26:40,763 --> 00:26:45,881 I believe that if an idealogy is true, then it will gain the people's support naturally. 240 00:26:45,882 --> 00:26:53,041 But if that idealogy is false and mistaken, then it will fade away naturally. 241 00:26:53,648 --> 00:27:00,095 So it is foolish to regulate people's thinking and opinions. 242 00:27:04,622 --> 00:27:08,774 I had something to ask you. 243 00:27:09,654 --> 00:27:11,681 Yes, Your Highness. 244 00:27:12,374 --> 00:27:17,165 Do you know how Inspector Hong is doing? 245 00:27:18,596 --> 00:27:24,347 Yes, he sent me a promissory note. 246 00:27:25,549 --> 00:27:30,334 I found out that he had sold his house and returned the money back to us. 247 00:27:31,277 --> 00:27:36,116 Sold his house? Then where is he staying now? 248 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:44,664 Well.... he disappeared suddenly, and no one seems to know his whereabouts. 249 00:27:57,551 --> 00:28:01,384 - Something really stinks! - Stop making a fuss. 250 00:28:07,695 --> 00:28:11,094 He says that he is at the government agencies, so he doesn't know when he'll be back. 251 00:28:11,538 --> 00:28:15,841 - Is that so? - But I found out where he is living. Let's go there. 252 00:28:16,463 --> 00:28:19,432 Let's hurry! I can't stay here anymore. 253 00:28:21,632 --> 00:28:23,548 It's this house. 254 00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:30,544 Are you sure Inspector Hong lives here? 255 00:28:31,305 --> 00:28:35,953 He used to be an Inspector! How could he live in a place like this? 256 00:28:48,207 --> 00:28:53,647 You said he cleared excrement for a living, but he lives in a sty too! 257 00:29:28,747 --> 00:29:31,319 - Sir! - Why are you here? 258 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,231 What do you think? We came to catch you! 259 00:29:36,362 --> 00:29:40,389 Come on out, sir! Inspector Hong is back! 260 00:29:42,957 --> 00:29:48,268 - Sir! Sir! - You too? What is going on? 261 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,664 - How did you find me? - Did you plan on hiding from us forever? 262 00:29:54,014 --> 00:29:58,800 How could you hide from me? Did you plan to never see us again? 263 00:29:58,901 --> 00:30:05,130 - Enough of that. I'm sure he didn't mean it. - Then what is all this? 264 00:30:06,250 --> 00:30:11,278 People will think that I'm your wife who ran away with another man! 265 00:30:11,527 --> 00:30:16,515 Sir! I'm really upset! How can you joke at a time like this? 266 00:30:19,535 --> 00:30:21,887 Sir! 267 00:30:26,058 --> 00:30:28,133 Are you sure you can afford this? 268 00:30:29,174 --> 00:30:35,589 Don't worry, sir. They charge high prices for the noble scholars, but we soldiers get it for cheap! 269 00:30:37,013 --> 00:30:42,788 I heard that some tribunal soldiers and Palace guards become husbands for gisaengs. 270 00:30:43,778 --> 00:30:45,890 Is that the case for you? 271 00:30:46,166 --> 00:30:50,326 Do you think it's that easy to become husband to a gisaeng? We're not that lucky! 272 00:30:51,606 --> 00:30:56,675 Dae Su, you may have a chance! What of it? Shall I introduce you to someone? 273 00:30:57,136 --> 00:30:59,837 Stop joking around, sir! 274 00:31:02,109 --> 00:31:07,888 In any case, thank you. I am spared from sleeping in a sty tonight. 275 00:31:09,353 --> 00:31:13,191 Until when will you continue living this way? 276 00:31:14,031 --> 00:31:16,727 What's wrong with living this way? 277 00:31:16,728 --> 00:31:17,949 Sir! 278 00:31:18,721 --> 00:31:22,632 I am learning many things by doing the most undesirable work there is. 279 00:31:23,222 --> 00:31:28,318 Since I'm clearing excrement, I've come to realize that power is like excrement too. 280 00:31:28,319 --> 00:31:31,820 What? Power is like excrement? 281 00:31:32,637 --> 00:31:35,574 It's filthy, unsanitary and stinky! 282 00:31:37,335 --> 00:31:40,298 So what will you do the rest of your life? 283 00:31:40,299 --> 00:31:44,239 Since you hate power, will you clear excrement forever? 284 00:31:44,540 --> 00:31:49,645 Are you crazy? How can I survive without power? 285 00:31:51,148 --> 00:31:53,480 Excrement, if used wisely, has many uses. 286 00:31:53,848 --> 00:31:56,001 It can be used for fertilizer, 287 00:31:56,002 --> 00:32:00,241 and can be used for firepowder too! 288 00:32:02,771 --> 00:32:06,450 Even though it's filthy and stinky, I still like power. 289 00:32:07,172 --> 00:32:13,958 But just like you can die if you fall into excrement, one must be cautious when handling power. 290 00:32:16,076 --> 00:32:21,083 What do you think of my Excrement Philosophy? 291 00:32:21,084 --> 00:32:23,430 What? Oh sir...! 292 00:32:25,539 --> 00:32:29,938 Aren't you going to ask how the prince is doing? 293 00:32:34,398 --> 00:32:38,862 Do I have the right to ask? 294 00:32:41,513 --> 00:32:45,015 His Highness has regained his sincerity. 295 00:32:45,499 --> 00:32:49,124 Yesterday, he asked us to accompany him out to the capital. 296 00:32:49,689 --> 00:32:54,006 Really? I'm glad. I knew he would. 297 00:32:54,526 --> 00:32:58,357 I knew he would brush himself off and get up again. 298 00:32:59,148 --> 00:33:03,267 Yes, but there is one concern. 299 00:33:06,372 --> 00:33:12,571 I heard a bad omen yesterday. I suppose I could just forget about it. 300 00:33:12,972 --> 00:33:19,095 But because of the several attempts on the prince's life, I can't help but be uneasy. 301 00:33:20,287 --> 00:33:23,801 What do you mean? What did you hear? 302 00:33:34,729 --> 00:33:37,534 What do you think? 303 00:33:37,535 --> 00:33:41,358 Even if it weren't for that old man's words, you must be cautious always. 304 00:33:42,580 --> 00:33:45,708 They will not want to loosen the noose around his neck. 305 00:33:45,909 --> 00:33:50,961 So if the prince is not de-crowned as they want, they will not ignore assassination as an option. 306 00:33:52,585 --> 00:33:59,139 But I have no idea how they will go about it. 307 00:34:12,385 --> 00:34:15,925 He is the Minister of Culture. He is an important man, so treat him well. 308 00:34:17,554 --> 00:34:22,090 - Make sure you treat him well! - Of course I will, Mistress! 309 00:34:22,091 --> 00:34:24,674 What a minx you are! 310 00:34:28,802 --> 00:34:32,387 - Do you know him, Sir? - Yes. 311 00:34:33,027 --> 00:34:37,229 - He's the mad dog that bit me. - What?

What did he say to me? 322 00:35:57,617 --> 00:35:59,019 Sir...! 323 00:35:59,476 --> 00:36:05,686 Wait and see. One day, I will catch that mad dog and eat it with bean paste. 324 00:36:06,590 --> 00:36:08,480 What? 325 00:36:19,715 --> 00:36:23,638 - Is Her Majesty inside? - Yes, Your Highness. 326 00:36:24,011 --> 00:36:26,854 - Tell her I am here. - Yes, Your Highness. 327 00:36:36,202 --> 00:36:40,162 It looks like I have come at a right time today. 328 00:36:40,263 --> 00:36:46,073 You were always in meetings with other people, so I had to turn back so many times. 329 00:36:47,145 --> 00:36:53,950 Forgive me, princess. My older brother is here and I have spent a lot of time talking with him. 330 00:36:54,978 --> 00:37:01,289 Not at all, Your Majesty. There must be lots of things to talk about between siblings. 331 00:37:03,005 --> 00:37:08,462 But why has the Second Royal Secretary returned to the Capital? 332 00:37:09,423 --> 00:37:15,773 No specific reason. I asked him to come visit as I was feeling a bit lonely. 333 00:37:16,494 --> 00:37:19,174 Is that so? 334 00:37:20,177 --> 00:37:25,663 I am here to tell you something, Your Majesty. 335 00:37:26,770 --> 00:37:29,659 Yes, what is it? 336 00:37:29,660 --> 00:37:35,086 Now that the prince has been removed from rule, should we not prepare for the next step? 337 00:37:37,513 --> 00:37:43,319 It looks to me as if there is no better time to remove the Prince completely. 338 00:37:44,809 --> 00:37:50,844 So with your approval, I will ensure that the prince is de-crowned, 339 00:37:51,337 --> 00:37:55,520 - and that control of the government is returned to us. - No. 340 00:37:56,631 --> 00:38:01,162 His Majesty is still undecided, and our preparations are not yet ready. 341 00:38:01,315 --> 00:38:04,407 If we make any hasty movements, it may set us back further. 342 00:38:04,860 --> 00:38:08,963 We should take a bit more time to think through our plans first. 343 00:38:10,651 --> 00:38:14,588 Really? Is that how you really feel? 344 00:38:15,933 --> 00:38:18,682 I know what you are saying, 345 00:38:18,683 --> 00:38:23,997 but since we have the year-end festivities coming up, we can discuss it afterwards. 346 00:38:24,098 --> 00:38:28,233 So please do as I request. 347 00:38:29,293 --> 00:38:32,581 Yes, I will do so. 348 00:38:32,782 --> 00:38:37,491 How could I not follow your wishes? 349 00:38:46,451 --> 00:38:48,738 Let's go. 350 00:38:52,286 --> 00:38:54,604 Your Highness... 351 00:38:55,911 --> 00:39:00,450 It seems that you are extremely busy lately. 352 00:39:01,265 --> 00:39:05,082 Yes, there are some urgent matters at the Ministry of Personnel. 353 00:39:06,633 --> 00:39:09,191 Is that so? 354 00:39:09,762 --> 00:39:12,943 What is this smell? 355 00:39:14,704 --> 00:39:18,511 Something smells a little fishy. 356 00:39:21,351 --> 00:39:24,200 I can't smell anything, Your Highness. 357 00:39:24,704 --> 00:39:27,531 Can't you smell it, Minister? 358 00:39:27,532 --> 00:39:30,787 - I don't think so... - Really? 359 00:39:31,923 --> 00:39:39,319 How strange.

The princess goaded you about your visit here? 362 00:40:09,244 --> 00:40:15,915 I think she is suspicious that there is no activity. 363 00:40:17,188 --> 00:40:23,356 I hope you did not reveal anything. The princess must be excluded from this. 364 00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:30,788 Why do you want to exclude the princess and Secretary Jung from this plan? 365 00:40:33,417 --> 00:40:38,187 The princess is merely a wily fox. 366 00:40:38,614 --> 00:40:45,246 Because I have allowed her fangs and claws to grow under me, she thinks she is a tiger. 367 00:40:49,064 --> 00:40:53,855 She thinks that we are the same level. 368 00:40:54,743 --> 00:41:00,025 And soon she will consider herself superior to me. 369 00:41:01,029 --> 00:41:07,569 When that happens, she will try to attain power by changing the dynasty of the throne. 370 00:41:08,354 --> 00:41:11,796 What? Changing the dynasty? 371 00:41:12,217 --> 00:41:13,979 What do you mean by that? 372 00:41:13,980 --> 00:41:21,817 Minister, don't you know the real reason why she adopted Secretary Jung? 373 00:41:22,288 --> 00:41:25,464 Your Majesty, that means... 374 00:41:25,744 --> 00:41:35,186 I have kept them with me because I need them. But we must slowly restrain her influence. 375 00:41:35,698 --> 00:41:38,002 Do you understand me? 376 00:42:11,326 --> 00:42:14,917 Do you understand me? You must make sure it happens! 377 00:42:16,783 --> 00:42:20,701 - What are you talking about so secretly? - It's nothing. 378 00:42:21,311 --> 00:42:24,523 - I'll see you later then. - Look here, Second Royal Secretary! 379 00:42:25,107 --> 00:42:30,046 Why are you doing this to me? Why are you excluding me? 380 00:42:30,462 --> 00:42:38,082 How foolish you are. If you don't know, then think about it carefully! 381 00:42:41,303 --> 00:42:44,021 That... that...! 382 00:42:45,271 --> 00:42:47,732 Brother. 383 00:42:48,062 --> 00:42:52,208 - Why do you look like that? - It's nothing. 384 00:42:53,865 --> 00:42:58,704 - If you are free, let's go to the Eastern Palace. - Why? 385 00:42:59,045 --> 00:43:03,347 The prince must be in deep distress. We should go and comfort him. 386 00:43:03,658 --> 00:43:07,846 I'm alright. You can go alone. Wait...! 387 00:43:10,044 --> 00:43:13,678 That fellow...! 388 00:43:15,590 --> 00:43:19,641 Your Highness, this is the Royal Farm. (Royal Farm - The King's personal farm) 389 00:43:30,026 --> 00:43:32,285 What do you think? Will it be possible? 390 00:43:32,486 --> 00:43:36,469 I'm not quite certain. 391 00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:40,392 We have only sowed seeds here. We have never made troughs here before. 392 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:45,872 - Troughs were only made to discard water. - So you're saying it's impossible? 393 00:43:47,064 --> 00:43:51,721 And we've never planted barley here before, so I'm not quite sure... 394 00:43:56,611 --> 00:43:59,114 Take this book and read it. 395 00:43:59,277 --> 00:44:05,810 It says here that sowing seeds in troughs blocks out the cold and the wind and allows early sowing. 396 00:44:05,811 --> 00:44:11,188 - Why don't you give it a try? - Yes, your Highness. I will do as you ordered. 397 00:44:21,628 --> 00:44:30,334 The governor of Hamkyung and magistrate of Bukwon has been submitted. 398 00:44:31,089 --> 00:44:33,580 I will accept their resignations. 399 00:44:33,967 --> 00:44:35,841 Yes, your Majesty. 400 00:44:36,570 --> 00:44:39,229 How is the Prince? 401 00:44:39,230 --> 00:44:42,517 I hear that he is leaving the palace frequently. 402 00:44:43,156 --> 00:44:49,452 After you withdrew his right to rule, he has reexamined himself. 403 00:44:49,453 --> 00:44:55,387 In order to find out more about the people's lives, he is going out to see them. 404 00:44:56,983 --> 00:45:02,210 Foolish boy. He is repairing the barn after he has lost the farm. 405 00:45:05,049 --> 00:45:11,576 Well, if he continues doing that, he may be able to handle his next farm better. 406 00:45:26,126 --> 00:45:32,229 - What a damnable fellow! - He called His Highness a damnable fellow? 407 00:45:37,784 --> 00:45:45,136 Forgive me. I was just trying to figure out how this would draw water out of the ground. 408 00:45:45,137 --> 00:45:49,019 Then you should have just asked me. Why did you touch it? 409 00:45:50,331 --> 00:45:54,075 - Have I broken it? - If it is, will you fix it? 410 00:45:54,895 --> 00:46:01,557 - Then let me try. - Forget it! It's not too bad. 411 00:46:01,952 --> 00:46:06,684 That's why I told you to leave! Why won't you go? 412 00:46:06,685 --> 00:46:12,835 Have you ever tried this out? If not, can I take it and try it out myself? 413 00:46:13,602 --> 00:46:18,527 - Do you even have land of your own? - Well, I have a bit of land my ancestors passed down to me. 414 00:46:20,367 --> 00:46:24,742 I could tell you were a rich man's son with nothing to do! 415 00:46:25,257 --> 00:46:29,338 So what about it?
