King Geunchogo

Episode 33

I'm going to give Bu Yeojun

recognition as the 12th Eoraha of Baekje

and give him a fitting funeral.

That's a dangerous thing to say.

He usurped the throne and murdered the previous Eoraha.

If you recognized him because he sat on the throne,

won't people commit treason easily?

Did you forget how much you gnashed your teeth in Liaoxi?

You were set on killing Bu Yeojun and raising King Chogo's line again.

Why do you want to recognize him now?

What are you true intentions?

Do you plan to accept Wiryegung and all of the Hae clan?

Because of your affection for the Queen of Goguryeo,

do you want to risk the legitimacy of King Chogo's line?

Stop it! Please stop it!

I can't hear this anymore.

Can I say something?

Please speak.

I only came as Wiryegung's representative to discuss my father's funeral in Namdang.

But what is this am I seeing now?

Is this a meeting to discuss the Eoraha's funeral?

Or is it a meeting to find fault with my father?

A crime should be punished and merit rewarded.

Is Bu Yeojun any different?

- He's a criminal of Baekje. - Quiet!

Queen of Goguryeo, you should watch your attitude.

You bowed to my father when he was Eoraha.

My father didn't qualify to be Eoraha?

He loved and cared for Baekje more than anyone here.

He might have died before he achieved all his plans,

but as Eoraha he had no fault.

Bu Yeojun murdered the previous Eoraha.

The murderer of the Eoraha's Wanwoldang.

Do you have any proof that my father murdered him?

A rotten fish has foul odor even if it's covered up.

It can easily be presumed since someone

who didn't qualify became Eoraha.

I guess my father did lack some virtue to favor

someone like you and made you commander.

King Biryu became Eoraha after my grandfather, King Bunseo.

He usurped the throne from King Goi's royal line.

You're crazy.

If it wasn't a crime for King Biryu to sit on the throne,

it can't be a crime for my father to take back what belongs to him.

How dare you say that?

Princess Yeohwa, stop making ludicrous statements and leave Namdang right now.

My lord, how about a break?

Will taking a break solve anything?

Continue your discussion.

Eoraha, are you recognizing Bu Yeojun because of Princess Yeohwa?

Since you ask, I'll answer.

When I'm inaugurated,

I'm designating Princess Yeohwa as the first queen.

You can't do that!

You can't do that. We won't allow it!

You can't do that. It can't be.

You can't do that.

How can you cause disorder to Baekje?

My lord, no!

You can't do that!

You can't do that!

Ma'am!

The palace has pretty dishes.

Are they still in the Namdang?

My lord must be hungry.

I should get him some rice cakes and tea.

That's not the problem.

There's a big commotion going on right now.

Then, do you think the first Namdang would be peaceful?

That's not it.

He's making the Goguryeoan Queen to be the first Queen of Baekje.

Mother! Hyungnim!

Why is Yeohwa so late?

Did they decide whether father will have a national funeral or not?

Hyungnim, Yeogu wants Yeohwa to be the first queen.

You can't do that.

You can't do that.

You can't do that.

Get up.

You can't do that!

Please reconsider.

Are you little children?

Why do you always do this when you don't like something?

That's how desperate we are.

So, get up and state your opinions.

I won't allow this kind of behavior in Namdang anymore.

Get up If you've something to say, look me in the eye and say it.

You already have a wife.

How can you make her your first queen?

This isn't righteous.

She's the Queen of Goguryeo.

How can you take a married woman as queen?

It was an arranged marriage.

Isn't that still a marriage?

It's a marriage of convenience.

If there isn't any profit for Baekje, the marriage can be annulled.

If Eoraha officially annuls it, it's possible.

Hae Geon, you betrayed Wiryegung and murdered Bu Yeojun,

why do you want Princess Yeohwa to be the Queen of Baekje?

I'm suspicious of your true intentions.

Ma'am.

I didn't ask you to attend Namdang.

If Namdang's a place for people who served Baekje,

I achieved more merit and shared a bed with you.

Don't I qualify?

She's right.

I know what you're going to say.

I'm sure you must think I...

am jealous of the Goguryeoan Queen and want to be queen.

But, that's not all.

Then, tell me.

Why can't I make the Princess of Wiryegung the first Queen of Baekje?

Let's say we forget that her father committed a crime towards Baekje.

That's nothing compared to the crime that woman committed.

Ma'am, maintain some courtesy.

She's the Princess of Wiryegung.

What good would it be to Baekje if she committed a crime?

Don't interrupt her.

I'd like to hear what crime Princess Yeohwa committed.

You don't know?

She let the King of Goguryeo live.

What would be a greater crime than that?

She's right.

She's right.

Did I say wanted to become the Queen of Baekje?

You won't be the queen?

I came to discuss my father's funeral.

I didn't come here to be insulted like this.

I'm sorry.

It wasn't a matter to discuss all of a sudden like this.

I'll live according to my will.

Why are you making such a commotion without any regards to my will?

Are you saying you don't want to be queen?

Eoraha,

with my father's corpse lying here,

it's not proper decorum to speak of marriage

Make your intentions clear.

No need for Namdang to go through all this trouble if you don't wish to be queen.

Should Eoraha and Namdang go through all this commotion?

Didn't I tell you this isn't proper decorum?

The funeral for the previous Eoraha will be held on the 12th of this month.

Until he's buried at Baramdeuri,

his body will be kept at Dongmyeongjeon.

Eoraha!

The chief strategist

will write an order to Goguryeo to annul Princess Yeohwa's marriage.

I'll obey your command.

Are you happy to confirm it?

Do you feel powerful over this commotion?

Do you feel that Wiryegung is safe?

I understand how you feel,

but don't.

I warned you not to come back to Hanseong.

I already answered you.

I was born and raised here.

I decide whether I come or not.

Wiryegung lost. You should live a quiet life.

That's humility and it's the proper action of a loser.

You were the Queen of Goguryeo,

how can you serve Eoraha?

You need to learn the court manners of Baekje first.

You've a foul mouth.

- Let's go. - Yes, Your Highness.

I won't recognize you.

If you can't return to Goguryeo,

it would be best to live a quiet life at Wiryegung.

Is it true?

Yeogu said he wanted to make you the first queen?

She was insulted by the Buyeo woman because of that.

How dare he?

It's his fault father died, he wants to marry you?

- I ought to... - Yeomun.

You've to do something about that temper of yours.

Then, are you going to let Yeogu and Yeohwa share a bed?

It's a good thing if she becomes the first queen.

Jwapyeong Hae!

I'm not a jwapyeong anymore, I don't have the power.

All the weapons were taken from our Choseongni soldiers.

Who will help you?

The princess has to.

He's right.

If Yeogu's willing, there's no problem.

- Just stop it. - Yeohwa.

Father's dead.

Do you think he was happy being Eoraha?

Haven't you learned anything?

How long are you going to be obsessed with power?

Father...

Father...

How can he do this?

He slept with my sister and he wants that wretch to be queen?

Let's say we accept his affection for Bu Yeojun's daughter,

but it was a crime for her to let Sayu go.

How can he make her queen?

So you should stop him in Namdang.

Things were better in Liaoxi.

I hate the way the Jin clan looks down on us.

What's that?

You didn't eat anything.

How can we eat at a time like this?

Go ahead and eat.

This matter won't be solved any time soon.

It's fish porridge.

The people of Baekje make porridge with fish.

Hongran, are you sick?

It smells so fishy.

You like fish stew.

Is the fish here different? Let me see.

We should call the doctor.

She seems to have indigestion.

What indigestion? She's just mad.

That's not what I think.

That's it.

What's that?

You're in a palace now.

You want meat instead of fish, right?

Don't talk nonsense. I'm in no mood for jokes right now.

Take it away.

I think she's pregnant.

Are you?

Am I?

I'm so proud of you.

My little sister has grown so much.

I'm going to be an uncle.

Let me look at you.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm going to be an uncle.

My lord.

I caught a carp from this pond and gave to my father before I left.

My mother scolded me because grandfather loved the carp.

Why are you choosing a rough path?

Wiryegung should be killed, but you're accepting Hae Geon.

And now, the Queen of Goguryeo.

You can't, my lord.

Even if everyone in Namdang opposed for their personal gains,

I thought you two would understand how I felt.

There's too much to lose.

Think about what you'll lose because you want Princess Yeohwa.

We're thinking of you.

You can't be enemies with Namdang.

Princess Yeohwa can't be.

If you break off the marriage with Sayu,

he'll attack because of his pride.

How hard we had fought for the Daebang land.

The previous Eoraha's coffin is in Dongmyeongjeon.

You should go to Anpyeongjeon.

- Get me the chief strategist. - Yes.

There's a reason she must become the first queen now.

Our lord's strong and stubborn.

He won't change his mind easily.

We need to raise power to support her and the baby.

It's not enough with just the people from Liaoxi.

I don't know about relationships,

but you're pretty and skilled in martial arts.

Plus, aren't you our lord's first wife?

Of course, you've to be the first queen.

If I can't become the first queen,

this child won't become the crown prince.

My family won't be neglected because of Sayu's wife.

Trust me.

Send this to Sayu.

After the funeral,

the right thing to do is to send the queen back to Goguryeo.

I betrayed her twice.

Am I to send her into danger again?

You still have a weak base in Hanseong.

You should be earning their loyalty.

All this dispute over the queen isn't good.

I respect you.

I just went forward with my sword to carry on my father's will.

You taught me what a great cause is and showed me the path of a ruler.

I'm flattered.

But, you don't know Baekje very well.

My father was a great Eoraha and a powerful ruler.

I only heard of him, but I respect him.

Even when my father ruled for 40 years,

he didn't destroy Wiryegung.

What was the reason?

Before he died, he told me not to be hostile to Wiryegung.

Why did he say that?

Wiryegung is a pillar of Baekje.

It can't be destroyed at once with force.

It has to be melted slowly.

With Bu Yeojun no more in this world,

Yeohwa's Wiryegung.

Yes, my lord.

Send the order to Goguryeo.

I'll obey your command.

Eoraha, may I enter?

Dalsol Jin Seung would like to see you.

I won't see him.

My lord.

I know what he's going to say.

If it's not what I think he'll say, tell him to enter.

If not that,

tell him to wait until after the previous Eoraha's funeral to tell me in Namdang.

Is it this hard to see my lord now?

Yes, I'll leave.

Since you know everything I'm going to say.

Whether you hold the funeral or not, I only have one thing to say.

You can't marry Princess Yeohwa.

What we did to gain control of Wiryegung.

We finally have power over Wiryegung after a hundred years,

why do you want to let them go free?

I just want to know your intentions.

I didn't know you were here.

If you're here to see our lord, go ahead and ask.

You never know, he might want to see you?

Do you think he'll see me if he won't see you?

If you're leaving, let's go have a drink.

Aigoo! Dalsol Hae, how nice.

You're entering the palace when everyone's leaving?

I'm on duty tonight.

Oh, I see.

I thought we could have a drink together.

Maybe next time.

I don't know why you murdered Bu Yeojun,

but things won't go your way.

There are many people in Hanseong watching you.

You should watch yourself carefully.

He's being watched, right?

Every move he makes is being watched, so don't worry.

You're not the only one who can't trust him.

These are all the wedding gifts I received from the king.

It's a good thing you're splitting up with him.

You can't help your brother as a Goguryeo person.

It's better that you're in Hanseong.

Do you want to be involved in politics?

Is this what politics is all about?

Politics seem so easy.

- Mother... - When your father was alive then...

I didn't have to know anything.

But, he's gone and your brother's in a storm by himself.

What will happen if I don't help him?

If you don't help him, what will happen?

Your Highness, it's Hae Geon.

I'd like to talk to you.

How dare he come here? Tell him to leave.

- Yes, Your Highness. - I'll see him.

- Yeohwa! - Come in.

Look who's here?

The commander who opened Gomori and saved Daebang.

Father.

You traitor, don't call me father.

If it wasn't for Yeogu, you'd be dead.

Mother, I'd like to talk to Dalso Hae.

Eoraha and I both cared for you.

Is this how you show your gratitude?

You should take your own life.

Jwapyeong, take my mother and leave.

Did you really murder father?

But...

I can't believe it.

I just can't believe it.

I had no choice, it's for Baekje's sake.

Why did you've to kill father?

Yeomin and Yeochan tried to split up Baekje.

I had to prevent that from happening.

That's it?

That's why you murdered father?

It was to save the Hae clan.

Eoraha was a setting sun.

I couldn't fall with him.

I'm sure you could think that, but that's not the truth.

Tell me the truth.

You couldn't murder my father.

You must make Yeohwa marry Yeogu.

I know how you feel,

but you must bring her back and make her the first queen.

How could you kill father?

How am I supposed to believe that?

I wanted to bring you back to Baekje.

I couldn't let you be a servant.

Eoraha was going to ask the king for soldiers and attack Prince Yeogu.

You could never be free of Sayu.

Is that it?

You missed Prince Yeogu.

I knew how much you wanted to be my lord's wife.

I tried to send you to him.

I already told you in Liaoxi.

Baekje's you and you're Baekje.

Your Highness.

You're saying it was because of me?

You stabbed father,

but I was the person who made you take up that dagger.

I'm the person who made father die like that.

I'll receive any punishment.

Your Highness, please marry my lord.

You've suffered enough for Baekje.

Please become the Queen of Baekje!

Leave me now.

I'll take any punishment.

I won't ask for your forgiveness.

If you want to kill me, go ahead.

If you want to whip me. go ahead.

Just become my lord's queen!

Leave right away!

Your Highness.

I've no right to punish you, but I despise you.

I never want to see you again.

Your Highness...

Good.

Tell me every move she makes.

Yes, Your Highness.

Where is my lord?

- He's sleeping in Anpyeongjeon. - He's in Anpyeongjeon?

He's at the drill ground.

Ma'am.

That was cowardly.

Is there such a thing when it comes to battle?

You're here?

It's been a while since I saw him smile.

It's all because of you.

Ma'am, hang in there.

You've Wi Birang, Ajikai and Dugo, you also have me.

Me too.

What are you saying now?

Exactly what you heard.

You told us to keep our mouths closed, but we can't close our hearts too.

Everyone's on my side except our lord.

Thank you.

You want to join forces?

Why? You don't want to?

Does it ruin your reputation now that we're in Baekje?

I'll be honest.

Our Jin clan doesn't want Hongran to be the first queen.

You always had a queen from your family.

I'm sure you don't want someone else.

Water and oil can't mix. Baekje has unique conditions.

Oil for the Jin clan isn't us.

It's Wiryegung's Princess Yeohwa and the Hae clan.

Think about it.

The Goguryeo queen can't be the queen.

I don't want to talk about that.

After the previous Eoraha's funeral,

I'll have a national inquiry for Wanwoldang's crime.

I'll grant awards of merit and set Namdang straight.

Then, we'll talk about it later.

I'm not your servant,

I'm your wife.

I'm going to Anpyeongjeon.

I'm pregnant.

The doctor said so.

I'm carrying our baby, your father's grandchild.

Take good care of the baby.

Is that it?

You don't know how happy my brother was.

This is your first child.

Is that your response?

I'm not very good at expressing my feelings.

Of course, I'm happy.

Forgive me if it upset you.

Would this be your response if Yeohwa's pregnant?

Stop it now.

Namdang's giving me enough of a hard time.

In Liaoxi then... I always felt strange.

You didn't have another woman and you were young.

Why didn't you come to my room?

Was it because you were burdened with returning to Hanseong?

Now I know why.

You want to have your first child with Yeohwa not me.

I said stop it.

You can't marry Yeohwa.

She can't even be a royal concubine.

Hongran.

I don't care if you've a hundred or thousand royal concubines.

I won't be jealous.

But you can't have Yeohwa.

Why can't you let her go?

Do you think a king marries out of desire?

Then why do you want her as your queen?

You're the first wife for me as a man,

but to me as long a king, you're Buyeo.

Princess Yeohwa's the first love for me as a man,

but to me as a king, she's Baekje.

I need her for the harmony of Baekje.

Then, you saying Buyeo isn't as good as Baekje?

Are you saying I'm worth less than Yeohwa?

Hongran, I care for you and respect you.

Don't put yourself on a scale and suffer like that.

Because you hate Yeohwa,

don't ruin yourself... and our baby.

Think of good things and have a healthy baby.

Whether a princess or prince, I want to be a good father.

Open the door.

Your Highness.

Wherever you are, whoever you're with...

Yeohwa, you're my wife.

If you're a son,

I'll definitely make you Eoraha.

A descendent of Buyeo won't let Bu Yeohwa win.

I'll show everyone.

In 346. Bu Yeojun dies.

He became the 12th Eoraha of Baekje.

He ruled for less than 3 years.

His posthumous epithet's King Gye.

Due to his short reign,

he didn't accomplished much for Baekje.

After his death

King Chogo's royal line takes the throne again in Baekje.

[Nampyeongyangseong Fortress, Goguryeo]

What?

There's a message from Baekje.

They're annulling the marriage.

- Leave it. - Yes.

She sent back the wedding gifts.

How can she be so disrespectful?

Only the king can annul the marriage.

They didn't even send a messenger.

How dare they?

Eoraha's entering.

What brings you to my room?

How do you feel?

I'm alright, thanks to your concern.

Hyungnim, I'm going to hold a national inquiry.

How are you planning to settle father's case?

Wanwoldang, Yeochan and Yeosan will all be punished.

Yeochan and Yeosan weren't involved with the murder of father.

I guarantee it with my life.

I told them to tie him up at Sutanseong to stop him,

but he isn't guilty.

Turning a blind eye is also a crime.

I thought about it a long time.

What about grandfather and Yeomong?

They arrived at the mooring. They should be arriving soon.

Did you come to take us for a trial?

You became Yeogu's dog,

what brings you here?

Yeohwi, I'd like to talk to you.

Grandfather.

Hello, Eoraha.

Grandfather.

Forgive me, mother.

You're your father's son,

but you're also my son.

I don't deny that.

You must pay for murdering Eoraha,

but I still love you.

Yeohwi, Yeochan has no fault.

My lord's set on punishing Yeochan and Yeosan.

If I, Yeochan and Yeosan die...

do you think you could live?

Could you live a comfortable life?

How could I live like that?

I'll become a grave keeper and live by father, mother,

Yeochan and Yeosan.

Yeohwi,

If there is a way you could save Yeochan,

would you do that?

No matter what that is?

Yes, I will.

Then...

exchange your life for Yeochan's.
