I don't know if it's also becoming like this in the north-west region. 124 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,120 For discussion's sake, it is the Marshall who is holding out like that, but what will we do? 125 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,440 Wasn't he the famous person in the capitol? 126 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,970 So, why is he like that? 127 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,510 Isn't this fish the biggest of big fish? 128 00:13:54,510 --> 00:13:58,110 Yes, it's exactly as you say, Sir. 129 00:13:58,110 --> 00:14:04,340 Yes, it was worth waiting until it bit. 130 00:14:04,340 --> 00:14:08,070 As I have said in the past for fishing it's all about being patient. 131 00:14:12,650 --> 00:14:16,990 My Lord! The letter from the palace! 132 00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:21,980 It's fine. Just leave it alone. It'll be no use even if I see it anyway. 133 00:14:21,980 --> 00:14:25,580 What? But . . . 134 00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:33,280 Ah, Dae Gil. It seems you'll have to visit Hanyang for a while. 135 00:14:41,930 --> 00:14:44,710 How is Father? 136 00:14:47,090 --> 00:14:50,520 He has still not resolved his wrath. 137 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:56,250 It doesn't seem like he will open up his heart easily. 138 00:14:56,250 --> 00:15:01,290 So, why didn't you let go of the connection with the Princess? 139 00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:04,230 Did you not know that this was going to happen one day? 140 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,760 Grand Prince. 141 00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:10,870 I resent the Princess. 142 00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:16,350 In the end, she put you in the front-lines for her unattainable plans and greed. 143 00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:20,360 Nonsense, Grand Prince.
How could you say such words? 144 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,140 Your Highness. 145 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:29,390 Ho, have you forgotten? 146 00:15:29,390 --> 00:15:33,160 Since you and I were young, 147 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,460 Her Highness has tried to show us the path. 148 00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:41,090 Because of that, I was able to realize the real danger to this nation 149 00:15:41,090 --> 00:15:44,480 and got to know that lives of the people, things that could not be known in the palace. 150 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,810 But, what changed because of that? 151 00:15:48,810 --> 00:15:52,850 I'm asking if anything changed, even just a little? 152 00:15:54,010 --> 00:15:55,610 Ho. 153 00:15:55,610 --> 00:15:57,960 I know your plans. 154 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:04,070 For a long time. No, even now, how you're very devoted to her and are going to a great length. 155 00:16:05,570 --> 00:16:10,360 But, there will be nothing you can obtain like that. 156 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:16,800 Just like it always has been, the only thing left will be pathetic defeat, Your Highness. 157 00:16:40,180 --> 00:16:45,030 Prince and My Lord, should I have your escort on stand by? Would you like to return to your residence? 158 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,880 No. Before that, I have someplace I need to visit first. 159 00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:08,910 It seems that Qing's Hong Taiji has finished all preparations. 160 00:17:08,910 --> 00:17:15,310 Yes. According to the message from Ja Gyeong who's spying on the border, 161 00:17:15,310 --> 00:17:19,900 120,000 troops have already finished preparations for travel. 162 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,300 The situation is like this. 163 00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:24,980 So what is the royal court doing as the counter measure? 164 00:17:24,980 --> 00:17:28,330 How and with what are they going to go up against 120,000 Qing soldiers? 165 00:17:28,330 --> 00:17:30,230 The answer is Ganghwa Island ( an island in the Han River which is part of the modern city of Incheon). 166 00:17:31,170 --> 00:17:35,720 During the First Invasion of Joseon from Manchuria, they'd set their post there first then attack from there, and they will want to do that again. 167 00:17:37,130 --> 00:17:38,870 Ganghwa, you say? 168 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:43,560 Yes, Your Majesty.
The army protecting the palace and the capitol 169 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,480 will be hiding in Ganghwa and use all artillery forces from there to ward them off. 170 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,950 Therefore, you're saying, just like before...
When we were being invaded from Manchuria. 171 00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:58,080 Yes, Sir. Ganghwa has a fortress which is solidly built and is a force to be reckoned with. 172 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:04,810 That is why the barbarians couldn't attack past the mountain tops during their invasion war, and were quick to ask for a peace treaty/truce from us. 173 00:18:11,670 --> 00:18:17,080 Therefore, use Ganghwa as the bait and withhstand again? 174 00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:20,010 Ganghwa? . . . 175 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,170 However, this is a very controversial statement.
This can bring about another war. 176 00:18:25,170 --> 00:18:28,710 How can you be so confident that the Qing's soldiers don't have a plan B also? 177 00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:33,410 That's not all. In the past, when the royal couriers and royal families fled to the Island of Ganghwa, 178 00:18:33,410 --> 00:18:36,440 this nation's citizens and properties were totally abandoned. 179 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,550 Hence, how can we choose Gwang-Hwa as our great plan? 180 00:18:40,550 --> 00:18:44,090 Therefore, Gaesung?... 181 00:18:44,090 --> 00:18:48,280 What do you think about suggesting to move over to Gaesung as our strategic city this time? 182 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,450 Did you say "Gaesung" ? 183 00:18:51,860 --> 00:18:54,640 Then, Your Highness. Instead of South 184 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,220 you're suggesting heading North, where the Qing soldiers will most likely be located? 185 00:18:59,220 --> 00:19:03,920 Yes, if that is what His Majesty is actually thinking. Although, it's only an assumption at this point. 186 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,450 We can just attack the Qing soldiers head on like this. 187 00:19:17,470 --> 00:19:21,360 As long as this pans out, this will be a great plan. 188 00:19:22,220 --> 00:19:27,740 Gaesung will be a great vantage point because of the rugged mountainous nature and property. 189 00:19:27,740 --> 00:19:32,940 Qing soldiers can't possibly even imagine that we have traveled north. 190 00:19:35,170 --> 00:19:40,400 If we can seriously do that, we'll be able to calm the nerves of the people. 191 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,930 If the courtiers and the royal palace shows a defensive and protective demeanor first. 192 00:20:00,210 --> 00:20:03,340 I will meet with Lord Kim Sang Heon and try to persuade him. 193 00:20:03,340 --> 00:20:07,570 There are other senior statesmen. They yell loudly to fight but they intend to sneak away. 194 00:20:07,570 --> 00:20:10,400 The lyric lord means to do something different. 195 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,390 I entrust you with this, My Lord. 196 00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:16,770 The Qing army advance is very close. There is no time to waste. 197 00:20:16,770 --> 00:20:18,580 Yes, Your Highness. 198 00:20:33,910 --> 00:20:35,220 Your Highness. 199 00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:39,260 Minister, what brings you here? Now... 200 00:20:39,260 --> 00:20:44,510 There seems to be suspicious activity near the Crown Prince. I thought you should know about it as well. 201 00:20:44,510 --> 00:20:48,990 What? Something regarding the Crown Prince? 202 00:20:53,770 --> 00:20:58,110 For allowing me the chance to serve you tea, 203 00:20:58,110 --> 00:21:00,830 thank you, My Lord. 204 00:21:02,530 --> 00:21:08,110 You even came to see me first like this. 205 00:21:10,620 --> 00:21:14,440 Lord Bongnim? Why would he? 206 00:21:15,430 --> 00:21:17,150 Lord. 207 00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:21,100 I also will never know the possible reason for it. 208 00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:26,520 However, my father is offering his hand to the Grand Prince. 209 00:21:30,230 --> 00:21:32,430 In Woo. 210 00:21:32,430 --> 00:21:37,820 Yes . . . wouldn't that be his intention to cast out the Crown Prince? 211 00:21:37,820 --> 00:21:41,120 Since he found out that the Crown Prince and the Princess are connected, 212 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,600 he will try even harder. 213 00:21:45,630 --> 00:21:51,890 But . . . Grand Prince Bongnim is trying to grab that hand? 214 00:21:53,220 --> 00:21:55,090 The Grand Prince? 215 00:22:07,030 --> 00:22:13,930 You're right. That's not something that's entirely impossible, 216 00:22:13,930 --> 00:22:20,250 if I can trust you and you can trust me. 217 00:22:21,820 --> 00:22:25,560 Yes. I have thought about it. 218 00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:33,680 I heard you say that it is rare in this country that the eldest son of the royal family safely ascends the throne. 219 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,640 So I might have something to do 220 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,130 in this time of chaos. Isn't that right, My Lord? 221 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,990 Of course.
