Minister of War.

-=Episode 16=- Minister of War.

-=Episode 16=- Do you really think... we can hold out till the rescue force arrives?

Do you really think... we can hold out till the rescue force arrives?

Let's just stop now.

Your Majesty...

do you mean...

That's right. I'm taking royal flight.

Your Majesty! How can you change your mind once you've decided?

I never changed it.

You all insisted on having it your way!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, you can't take royal flight.

If Your Majesty abandons the capital,

then who would defend it with their lives?

I'm just temporarily retreating,

to gather soldiers and public sentiment then counterattack.

Why won't you accept that fact?

Your Majesty.

The instant Your Majesty takes royal flight,

the people will think you've given up fighting against the Wae enemy

and lose the will to fight.

Given the situation of soldiers fleeing,

if we can't gather the people,

it's not just the capital...

I'm worried we'll lose the country.

Supreme Commander!

Do you really... think I'm afraid...

of losing my life that I'm like this?

It's my wish that right now, I could pick up a sword and go out to fight the Wae enemy.

But, isn't my life not mine alone?

It is this country's.

It carries the fate of tens of thousands of people!

Your Majesty.

I understand.

I understand that, so all the more--

Don't say anymore!

I'm now going to install Prince Gwanghae as the crown prince.

Your Majesty.

And also, Prince Imhae and Prince Sunhwa,

I'm sending them each to Hamgyeong-do and Gangwon-do to gather rescue forces.

I'll have the people know that even while in royal flight, I'll fight it out with the Wae enemy.

Hurry up and prepare for royal flight from the capital.

Your Majesty.

Your Royal Highness.

We bring up something for your gracious consideration.

Pray help His Majesty to overcome this national crisis

and achieve a peaceful reign.

Have the tens of thousands of people lead peaceful lives.

I who am lacking yet have to take on an important duty,

my heart is quite heavy.

But even when an animal is attacked, it will fight for its life.

Right now when the country is in great difficulty,

as a country's crown prince,

how can I be inferior to an animal?

I will... wholly give myself to overcoming the country's crisis.

All of you, please guide me.

I... will trust all of you.

Your Royal Highness, your grace is boundless.

Your Royal Highness' grace is boundless.

Your Majesty.

Until my body is shattered,

I'll give my all to help Your Majesty overcome the national crisis.

Your Royal Highness, my congratulations.

Although it's a difficult time now,

but you've become this country's crown prince.

I hope you always respect and take care of yourself

and not do anything to harm your body and mind.

Thank you.

Your Royal Highness.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Congratulations, Your Royal Highness.

Thank you, hyeongnim. (hyeongnim - respected older brother)

Please help me much to overcome this national crisis.

Alright.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty too, please give him a word of blessing.

The country's in this state,

what words of blessing...?

Your Majesty.

No. His words are right.

Now is not the time for words of blessing.

Are you happy?

I'm asking be the times perilous or peaceful,

are you happy to have become the crown prince?

I... only feel the heavy weight of responsibility.

That's right. You should feel that.

It's for you to have that feeling that I've installed you as crown prince.

Your Majesty.

Listen.

Bear this in mind.

This is in all respects, for the sake of overcoming the national crisis,

for the sake of gathering the scattered public sentiment and soldiers.

When this trouble is over,

I'll discuss with the court ministers,

inquire after Ming's intentions then,

I will decide on a crown prince again.

I know that well, Your Majesty.

I... will only stay for overcoming the national crisis,

please don't be too worried.

I'm glad you're well aware of your duty.

Then, quickly prepare for royal flight.

Don't cry.

No matter what anyone says,

you are this country's crown prince.

You're already this feeble-minded,

how are you going to defeat the Wae enemy?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I hope the national crisis ends as soon as possible...

and I can free myself from this position of crown prince.

Crown Prince...!

Supreme Commander...

How is it?

I really can't bring myself to say it, it's disastrous.

Those few people who were headed to the barracks to assemble,

-=Gim Eung Nam (Minister of War)=- Those few people who were headed to the barracks to assemble,

-=Gim Eung Nam (Minister of War)=- on hearing news of the installation of a crown prince and royal flight,

on hearing news of the installation of a crown prince and royal flight,

they all turned back.

What about the soldiers?

How can the soldiers have any morale left?

Although the barracks have strict orders prohibiting desertion,

they feel the same as the people who are fleeing.

The 4 500 soldiers

and the 2 500 people who came to the barracks,

all add up to only 7 000.

Won't it be impossible to stop Wae's large army?

Just... His Majesty's royal flight... accept it.

Minister of War, even you are saying this?

Sir!

Your Majesty.

News of Your Majesty taking royal flight is causing the defense of Hanyang to collapse.

Please reconsider it.

A crown prince has already even been installed and we're preparing for royal flight.

Just stop it.

Your Majesty, anyone can do something praiseworthy,

but that doesn't mean he'll be held in respect his entire life.

Furthermore, anyone can do something wrong,

but it doesn't mean he'll be criticized for it for life.

However, because of one mistake,

his entire life might be negated and criticized.

Those words... you're talking about the matter of me taking flight...

Are you saying it's that huge of a mistake that I could be criticized for life?

Correct. You're right.

Supreme Commander, your words are so on the mark.

Yes, I'm committing a crime that can't be washed away for an eternity.

I'm foolish and incompetent,

causing the country to be in this state.

I'll go down in history as an muddle-headed king without parallel.

This fool of a person...

is too ashamed to rule over this country.

Supreme Commander...

A crown prince has also been installed,

so this throne... I should just abdicate it.

Your Majesty! How can you abdicate!?

If I abdicate the throne in favor of the crown prince,

the royal flight too, can't you discuss it with the new king again?

I'll announce the abdication right away.

Have everyone come.

Your Majesty! How can you, in this perilous crisis,

bring up abdication!?

Does Your Majesty really not know this vassal's wish

to have you as a center to unite the forces of everyone and defeat the enemy!?

Why won't I know?

I know, I know.

But... this fool of a person,

aren't I not qualified to be the center of this country and its people?

Attendant!

Yes?

Have all the court ministers come

and inform them I'll be abdicating in favor of the crown prince.

Your Majesty!

Hurry up and go out to inform them, what are you doing?

After foolish me... renounce the throne,

I'll remain in the capital with ease of mind.

I'll fight the Wae enemy together with the people.

Now can you relax?

Your vassal knows I've erred.

Please go.

Please take royal flight, Your Majesty...

The situation has reached this state,

what more can your vassal do now?

Please go.

Your Majesty!

Please kill your vassals who were unable to prevent the country's crisis.

Please kill us.

I'm really ashamed.

If I had listened to your words when you warned that Wae could attack,

there wouldn't be something as tragic as having to take royal flight.

After the matter has reached this state,

do I see your foresight.

My crime is really great.

No, it isn't.

Petty people had covered Your Majesty's eyes and ears.

How can that be Your Majesty's fault?

If we're to have a discussion of the crime,

doing so from morning to night wouldn't be enough!

However, now is a critical juncture for the country's existence,

putting an end to the crisis is the vital thing.

Please! Be stout of heart!

I will.

So, you have to be by my side to assist me.

Right now, by my side, there's no one I can trust.

Please don't worry.

If it's Your Majesty's order,

even if I have to die I'll fulfill it!

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I will appoint you as Commander of the Capital Guards.

During the royal flight you'll be responsible for attending on the royal carriage.

Your vassal Yun Du Su, will abide by Your Majesty's order.

Chief Royal Secretary too, you'll resume office.

Like in the past, become my hands and feet.

When you weren't by my side,

I was really frustrated.

Your grace is boundless, Your Majesty!

Dong Dong! Dong Dong!

I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you go?

Hey, I had state matters to attend to, I'm very busy.

I came to tell you to flee for safety.

As expected, you're packing your bags.

Of course, I heard news that the king is running off.

Everyone in the marketplace are packing their bags.

Can I just sit around doing nothing?

Dong Dong.

Yes.

This, pack it too.

You're taking along the dried medicinal herbs too?

There should be a use for them.

It isn't tough to bring them along.

Where to flee or go to, that's the problem.

What if we go to some strange place,

won't we run into Wae soldiers?

I'm worried.

With me around, what's there to worry about?

I'll be responsible for you,

you only have to follow me.

I'll bring you to a place without Wae soldiers,

a safe place.

Really?

We just have to trust you?

This place, is the Heunginmun that I'll be passing through, right? (Heunginmun - commonly known as Dongdaemun)

Yes.

General.

General Kato, has already left 2 hours ago.

What? Kato?

Yes.

The fool, I knew he would do that.

The matter of Yoshitoshi leaving at dawn, it shouldn't have been discovered, has it?

No.

Alright. Prepare to leave.

Yes, General.

What if, we arrive at Hanyang

and capture the Joseon king,

but he neither surrenders nor negotiates

and resists till the end. What do you intend to do?

Are you asking whether I'll cut off his head?

Since the goal is to end the war quickly...

doesn't it depend on... what the people think of the Joseon king?

If the people like him,

you'll prevail upon him.

If the people dislike him, you'll kill him,

to win the people's good graces,

do you mean that?

Isn't this... something that can subdue the Joseon people's resistance?

The Joseon king's fate... is in the hands of the people.

Namo Gwanse-eum Bodhisattva.

By now, Konishi should have found out we've departed first.

That vexed look on Konishi's face, I should see it for myself.

Is it alright?

Don't you know the basis of military tactics, begins with deceiving one's opponent?

Bluffing, looking one way and rowing another, they're all about deception.

Yes.

If we go at this pace,

when can we arrive in Hanyang?

The same as the 1st Division,

we'll arrive on the 3rd day of the 5th (lunar) month.

Is that so? Fine.

Then, we'll move it up by a day.

We'll arrive on the 2nd day of the 5th month.

General.

It's excessive.

From the time we landed,

till now, we've been advancing without sufficient sleep.

Everyone... is about to collapse.

I know, I know, I know!

What I meant was...

we just have to capture the Joseon king first before Konishi.

What?

We will capture the Joseon king first

and in the report to His Highness the Taiko,

just write that we entered Hanyang on the 2nd day of the 5th month.

Yes.

Konishi... you simple-minded and ignorant fellow.

Use your brains. Brains.

What about Konishi?

He just left.

Good!

But.

But what?

A vanguard unit had already left for Hanyang before dawn.

What!?

Konishi, you...!

Your Majesty, I heard your condition of stuffy chest and insomnia has worsened.

-=Yun Du Su (Commander of the Capital Guards)=- .

-=Yun Du Su (Commander of the Capital Guards)=- Please take things easy.

Please take things easy.

I have frequent nightmares... I'm unable to sleep at all at night...

It feels as if the Wae enemy will attack right away.

The matter of royal flight, hasten it.

Yes, Your Majesty.

After I leave, who should I have to take charge of the defense of Hanyang?

For Commander of the Defending Army, have Byeon Eon Su take charge.

Have Ryu Seong Ryong take charge as the Commander of the Defending Army.

What?

The person who most strongly advocated defending the capital is the Supreme Commander.

Isn't he the most suitable person for Commander of the Defending Army?

In any case, doesn't someone have to defend the capital?

Your Majesty.

The Supreme Commander has to be in attendance on your royal carriage.

Just do that.

Certainly.

Welcome, please have a seat.

I heard you returned just for the sake of attending on the royal carriage.

All the while, I had heard news that you tried hard to make defensive preparations against a Wae attack.

What's the use of all that?

In the end, it became like this.

I'm a sinner who can't be forgiven.

All those who couldn't serve the king well are all sinners.

You should be busy preparing for the royal flight.

What brings you here?

That's...

Please go ahead.

Supreme Commander, you've been appointed as the Commander of the Defending Army.

It's His Majesty's wish?

That's right.

Judging from the present situation, defending Hanyang to the last will be difficult.

If you feel there's danger, please withdraw at once and join the royal flight.

The point is you don't have to defeat them,

you're to buy us as much time as possible,

you should be well aware of this.

No. It's better this way.

Even if it's not His Majesty's order,

I was thinking of going myself

and petitioning to take charge as the Commander of the Defending Army.

Sir.

After His Majesty takes royal flight and goes,

I think I won't be able to see His Majesty again.

How can you utter such words?

I'll bury my bones in the capital.

Pray assist His Majesty well

and quickly overcome this national crisis, I ask this favor of you.

Sir...!

Change the Commander of the Defending Army?

That's right, Your Majesty.

-=Lee Hang Bok (Chief Royal Secretary)=- That's right, Your Majesty.

-=Lee Hang Bok (Chief Royal Secretary)=- We can't have Ryu Seong Ryong stay behind in Hanyang.

We can't have Ryu Seong Ryong stay behind in Hanyang.

It has already been decided.

He has to be changed!

Chief Royal Secretary!

That the enemy would arrive here so quickly, who could have expected that?

The enemy is stronger than we thought.

Just with our soldiers alone, it might be difficult to defeat the enemy.

Then, what's the next step?

Next, you say?

It's to request for Ming's reinforcements.

Moreover, if the royal flight continues

and we get close to the national border,

then right across the river is Ming.

At that time, evidently, there'll be many things to negotiate with Ming.

Please think about it.

Ryu Seong Ryong had previously in 1569,

gone to Ming as an envoy.

He had established a deep trust with the court ministers over there.

Hence, for negotiating with Ming,

there's no one better than Ryu Seong Ryong.

Please, have him follow Your Majesty.

Clearly, he'll be a big help.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Mobile Border Commander Lee Il has sent a report.

In 1-2 days' time the Wae army... will reach Hanyang!

What!?

Have Yun Du Su come right away!

Yes.

Then, for the Commander of the Defending Army, change it to Right State Councillor Lee Yang Won.

Chief Royal Secretary you too, prepare for royal flight!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, all preparations have been completed.

Sir!

Sir!

The Commander of the Defending Army has been changed to Right State Councillor Lee Yang Won.

Sir, you've been ordered to be in attendance on the royal carriage.

Where am I to abandon the people and flee to?

I've made up my mind to remain in the capital and fight the enemy to the death.

Please convey that to His Majesty.

Sir!

Do you want to die here in vain?

Don't we have to renew our forces and attack back?

Did you say "die in vain"?

Then, are you saying the soldiers and people who're staying here,

even if they die in vain, it's alright!?

Sir!

Why should there be a king!?

Why is the king the father of the people!?

When a burglar enters the house, he should shelter the children behind his back

and fight with the burglar, that's what a father does!

Leaving his people in deadly circumstances and fleeing to save his own life,

what father does that!?

No...

No.... I am the sinner.

I am the sinner.

How can I blame the king?

I couldn't assist the king well, it's my fault.

I couldn't guide the king well, it's my fault.

Even if I had to die a 100 times, I would have nothing to say.

Go.

I will bury my bones in the capital to beg the people's forgiveness.

Sir! It's a royal order.

Hurry up and take the Councillor away.

Sir, listen to the Chief Royal Secretary.

Didn't he say it's a royal order?

Please hurry up and go, Sir.

Where do I go!? Where to!?

Heaven above! Where do I go!?

Where to!?

Where do I go to...?

Your Majesty, please don't abandon us!

Move back!

If the country abandons us, who do we trust and how do we survive!?

Your Majesty!

Please don't abandon us!

I'm sorry.

Although I'm leaving as the current situation is urgent,

I will return. I will definitely,

I will definitely return again.

When?

After we've all died?

You can't go. You can't go!

Stop him!

Stop! Those who obstruct the royal carriage will be killed!

Your Majesty!

Come! Let's burn everything!

Let's burn everything!

1592, 4th lunar month, 30th day, after midnight.

The royal carriage fled to safety.

It was only over half a month after the Wae army invaded Joseon.

When the king took royal flight from the capital,

immediately, the refugees rose up

and burned the Registry where slave rosters are kept and the Ministry of Justice,

and also, entered the palace to plunder its effects and set fire to it.

During this time, Gyeongbok Palace was also entirely burnt.

For this period, as to who had set the palace on fire,

there are 2 views.

One view is that during the time of the royal flight, angry people from the south of the city set fire to it,

another view is that the Wae army set fire to it when it withdrew from Hanyang.

Whoever had set fire to it,

at that time, the turning of Gyeongbok Palace into a heap of ashes,

was an incident that signified the country was perishing.

What's the matter?

Your Majesty.

The capital is on fire.

What?

Someone! Is there anyone who knows about this situation?

Your Majesty.

The people from the south of the city plundered the palace then set it on fire.

What?

The people had set the fire? How... how can they do this?

Are the people burning the palace...

or are the people burning the country?

Will the people ultimately burn away the king and incompetent officials and nobility?

-=Byeokjegwan: Lodgings for Chinese envoys (today's Goyang, Gyeonggi-do)=-

I don't deserve to eat.

Your Majesty, how could you utter such forlorn words?

-=Yun Du Su (Commander of the Capital Guards)=- Your Majesty, how could you utter such forlorn words?

-=Yun Du Su (Commander of the Capital Guards)=- Please pull yourself together.

Please pull yourself together.

I couldn't even protect the country,

couldn't protect the people either.

I am... a king who's been abandoned by the people.

What right have I to eat?

You can just raise the country again,

just regain public sentiment.

The war starts from now.

There's a mountain of things for you to do.

Even if you've to force yourself please have a bite and pull yourself together.

Quickly.

No, thanks.

Sir.

-=Nagoya=-

Your Highness! Your Highness!

We heard that in Ming, Bo Bai started a rebellion.

That's really good news.

Where's the region that started the rebellion?

This place.

The place called Ningxia. -=Ningxia: Ming's northwest region=-

The place called Ningxia. -=Ningxia: Ming's northwest region=-

It's kind of far from Joseon. -=Ningxia: Ming's northwest region=-

It would be good if the scale of the rebellion is big.

How big is it?

It's in the hundreds of thousands.

The army the court sent, lost one battle after another.

Fine! Good!

They just have a lot of land.

That dismal a country, for me not to be able to take them,

it would be absurd.

Isn't it, Matashiro?

That's right.

After I take Joseon...

we have to prepare a route of attack to Ming.

Ishida, what do you think?

From Joseon's capital, transfer the army and military rations to Jemulpo,

they just have to take the warships over.

No.

Ming is now fighting the rebel army,

if we're to overwhelm them even more,

using both the sea and land routes at the same time is better.

You're right, that's good.

Right now, Liaodong which is above Joseon,

Ming's authority doesn't seem to reach there.

If we can just take Joseon,

we can go through Liaodong and attack Ming's capital.

But, there's one thing I'm worried about.

What is that?

The presence of the Jurchens who are in actual control of Liaodong.

Although they're currently divided into various tribes,

among them, the tribe led by Nurhachi,

has great military strength.

They might become a big obstacle.

Is that so?

If in case we have to fight the Jurchens...

we'll just have the Joseon army fight up in front.

Indeed, this country Joseon has many uses.

-=Imjin River=-

Your Majesty, it's all ready for boarding, please get on the boat.

You had cautioned me so...

I didn't listen to your words and ended up like this.

After I die, how will I face the former kings?

Your Majesty.

-=Gaeseong, government office=-

There's no report from the Commander of the Defending Army in the capital?

He said he'll defend against the Wae army at the Han River.

A report should come tomorrow.

If you created this situation,

-=Yun Du Su (Commander of the Capital Guards)=- If you created this situation,

-=Yun Du Su (Commander of the Capital Guards)=- you yourself should have stayed in the capital to defend it against the enemy.

you yourself should have stayed in the capital to defend it against the enemy.

You don't even have a conscience!

Stop it.

If the Wae army has entered the capital,

this place won't be safe either.

Your Majesty.

Gaeseong is different from Hanyang, public sentiment is not in disorder.

We should defend Gaeseong to the last and reorganize our military forces.

Do that then.

If we retreat any more,

retaking the capital will be difficult too.

Chief State Councillor, what do you think?

Gaeseong was the Goryeo dynasty's seat of government.

Mountains surround it like a fortress.

The place is like a natural fortress.

Is that so?

Then, make it known that we're defending Gaeseong.

Gaeseong's public sentiment is still not in disorder,

but because of the matter of Your Majesty leaving Hanyang,

the people of Gaeseong too, would be worried about Your Majesty leaving again.

Put up notices on the streets of Gaeseong.

Please eradicate the people's misgivings.

Do that then.

What on earth does this mean?

The king is going to defend Gaeseong!

Really?

That's our king, he's not going to abandon us!

We're going to live!

We're not going to die!

Hurray! Hurray!

Hurray!

What does it say?

You're so ignorant.

Don't you even know the Korean script?

What it says is--

The king is going to defend Gaeseong.

That's right.

Then, there's no need to flee for safety anymore.

Thank goodness.

Miss, you're tired too, aren't you?

I see your feet are swollen.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

It must be tough on you just to serve the Councillor,

you even took care of us, thank you.

That's what I should do, I know you anyway,

we should help and rely on each other, that's a matter of course.

The report came from the capital?

As the Chief State Councillor Lee San Hae insisted on royal flight and ruined the country,

-=Lee Hang Bok (Chief Royal Secretary)=- he should be dismissed from his position, it's an appeal by the Chief Censor and Inspector General.

How can today's situation be the crime of Lee San Hae alone?

Have everyone come in.

I'll clearly distinguish between what's right and wrong.

It's not Lee San Hae...

they want to bring me who insisted on royal flight to account.

I'm going to be dragged along by the vassals for life...

Your Majesty.

-=3rd day, 5th lunar month, 1592, Hanyang=-

They say it's been 3 days since the king left the palace.

After the king left, the people who were angry over that had set the palace on fire.

Joseon's army... didn't resist at all and ran away.

The people... burnt down the palace.

This is really...

Who knows who's the actual enemy of Joseon.

Given this, even if we enter before Kato,

what's the use of it!?

Where exactly? Where exactly has the king gone!?

Where exactly? Where is he!?

They say his insistence on royal flight ruined the country.

There's an appeal to dismiss Chief State Councillor Lee San Hae.

How can it be the responsibility of the Chief State Councillor alone that the country has been ruined?

If at the outset we didn't insist there wouldn't be a war,

we would have made preparations for it.

If preparations for war had been made,

this day where the vassals and I have to take royal flight wouldn't have come.

If all quarters are to charge Lee San Hae with the crime,

for Ryu Seong Ryong who backed Gim Seong Il's view too,

wouldn't it be fair to charge him for that crime?

Hence... Chief State Councillor Lee San Hae together with...

Left State Councillor Ryu Seong Ryong too will be dismissed from their positions.

Your Majesty,

your grace is boundless.

-=Next Episode Preview=-

Either bestow poison on Ryu Seong Ryong or exile him.

Only Ryu Seong Ryong tried hard to make defensive preparations for war.

The village over there, the Wae army is really distributing rice.

What on earth is the Wae army thinking?

It's a typical occupation policy.

My wish is,

to ride horses with my son, galloping to our hearts' content.

The Wae army has invaded Joseon!

Sweep away both countries.

Those people have become thieves and abandoned me!

He's someone who can't tough it out.

What's the reason for installing a crown prince?

Because there's a crown prince, even if His Majesty dies fighting the enemy, it's fine.
