Episode 37.

How could it be?

General! This is...

This is the Royal Seal that King asked me to deliver to Premier!

This is the abdicaiton script!

I, Bu Yeogye,

uphold King's order

and conduct the coronation!

And! I order with my first script with Royal Seal on it!

Dr. Mok and engineer Jang who settled all confusion,

are ordred to be the first merit officials of my coronation.

I order Dr. Mok Rasoo to be the master of Taehaksa.

And engineer Jang to be the Eunsol of Secretary!

But they are...

At this abdication, they formed to have impure intention!

Impure intention?

In the confusion of unknown enemies,

they protected the King.

As a result, they ended up delivering the seal safely.

Yes, they deserved to be merited

for protecting the King in danger.

In its process, we lost the King and innocent people.

Now King's mean is arrived,

while you need to be cautious, strive for the future!

Yes!

What's going on? We worked hard and they get it.

How could Princess Wooyoung do to us?

Don't you know what they have done?

They brought the Royal Seal of King who passed away.

Yes, it was King's mean.

Don't you know what the King has done to me?

- Sir general! - What do you mean?

You are talking very rudely!

He stabbed me!

Then, make an official announcement!

You bastard!

Sir! Calm down.

This is the best way

for you and our father.

You're making a mistake!

You're making a big mistake!

Would they bring it without any reason?

It's plot, it's plot of 4th plot!

Why didn't you say 4th son is dead?

I will.

Don't say it.

You will gain something.

This is totally nonsense.

See the lord and straighten things up.

Even if you see him, nothing will be changed.

Will you just look at this?

You have to be patient.

It's so fortunate that you agreed with me and Wooyoung.

If Lord's health is well,

Wooyoung, Woochi, and I don't have to worry about it.

Although Wooyoung and I tried everything,

Lord's body is getting...

I know, how could I not know it.

I worry about my family as well.

Lord!

Don't worry.

- Father! This is Sum. - Come in.

What is it?

Father! How could you do this without talking to me?

I did everything for you to have the throne.

But that crucial matter...

So? Do we have to get a permission from you?

This is the lord! It's is right to decide himself.

But, I made him the King...

I know you tried, but the outcome wasn't so good.

You didn't get the Seal, and if Wooyoung didn't step up,

Without nobles' agreement, it could've been the usurpation.

Right, Sun! For you and me, this was inevitable choice.

And the best choice!

But, father! They are related to the 4th son.

They didn't come to Achak where King stayed.

Surely, they're using Wooyoung to enthrone 4th son.

Lrod!

Don't worry too much, brother!

I made it clear and accepted them.

What? Clear of what?

You always didn't tell us about it.

Lrod! I'm sorry to say

but it's good to hold the abdicaiton as simple as possible.

How come?

Due to consecutive disaster, people are in panic.

Panic?

So make it simple as possible

instead, donate aid for people.

Yes! That's good!

You're right, right!

- What are you doing? - What did you make it clear?

Is 4th son dead? Did you arrest him?

What is it?

As you know, the existence of 4th son will

turn everything around for us.

I know, so I wrapped things up nicely.

So I told you not to worry about it.

What the hell is it!

Tell me! Tell me!

What has happened?

Yes, I felt like I was hit from behind

but seeing general bewildered, we seem to be fine.

I wanted to see you. How is it going?

We couldn't achieve what we wanted,

but it's getting interesting.

Interesting?

We didn't know about Princess Wooyoung well,

but isn't her first political movement interesting?

It is, but would it be good for us or...

First, we have to help her to control the general.

I saw the same thing. And general is already into a swamp.

I don't like your attitude more than Princess.

Why did you stop general there?

Aren't you absurd? Aren't you angry?

Where are you going? Is it worthless to answer me?

- Arrest Mok and Jang now. - Pardon?

Arrest them now and question them!

Where 4th son is and why they came back!

- Sir general! - And search Wooyoung's office as well.

The reason why she can be confident

is that she has the neckalce! So search it!

Sir! Please calm down! You mustn't do that!

What are you doing? Proceed it now!

Yes!

Sir general! You mustn't do this now.

Not to tell the death of 4th son, is it for my future?

It's part of it but not particularly.

Then...

To gain the strength, there are many ways.

Monopolizing information is one of it.

General has been using it wisely.

He focused all information to his division, nobody could act.

Look! There will be effect

for not telling it.

- Take them to military divisoin. - Yes.

What are you doing?

- What are you doing? - What are you doing!

- Shut up! - Let me go.

- Let it go! - You search here.

But this is the Princess's office.

- Search it! - Yes!

Where is he? Where is 4th son? Where is he!

Is he dead?

Is he alive? Who is he?

Confess! Confess! Why did you come back here for?

Who is he? Is dead or alive?

- Twist their legs! - Yes!

We had many crisises and confusions.

And in the process, people had different purposes,

and some wants to know the truth about what happened.

But King will conceal it all.

We have to settle in first then the rumor will hush up slowly.

So in the nobles meeting, Please devote your power

What is crucial for Baekjae's prosperity,

do you understand?

- Yes. - Princess! Princess!

What is it?

I'm sorry, it was so urgent.

What is it?

General arrested Dr. Mok and Eunsol and questioned them.

- Even your room... - My room?

- Yes, searching it. - What?

General shouldn't do that.

The lord granted them the first merit!

Wake up!

Wake up! Who is he?

Say before you die! Who is he! Who is he!

- Who is he! - Can't you stop it now?

What are you doing?

Sir general...

Is he higher than the lord?

Lock him up immediately!

What are you doing? Untie these men now!

Yes!

I'm sorry, so sorry.

What's your behavior?

Lord! They're here for 4th son's plot.

I'm the King!

Do you want to be top of me?

Father!

There are odd rumors about you.

You would know it well!

I want to hush up these rumors quickly.

So I can hold the coronation of Crown Prince.

Please meditate yourself!

It's so simple and effective trick.

Seeing you here means 4th son may be dead.

Even if he's not dead, you gave Princess the necklace

at least, that's she accepted you.

Just not mentioning

was able to make general insane. I'm overwhelmed.

Plus it's surprising that you used this trick, doctor.

Do you think his insanity is the trick?

- Do you think so? - No.

His insanity made him insane.

Evil deed bear evil deed.

Dead Prince, dead King, dead people,

without them, he wouldn't have done this.

It'll get worse.

He will suspect a blow of wind, if it's cursing him.

Therefore, you didn't use the trick,

you showed him why man shouldn't be evil.

So I'm not surprised what you did.

It's not the time to do that.

If you keep do this, you'll lose the trust from nobles and King.

Even though you had power,

now your father is the King.

Then, please hasten the coronation.

That's not the problem now!

Stop it now.

Where or how it started wrong,

stop it now.

Then you can be forgiven.

Let's just go.

When you came back to here, you'd go far as you can.

I felt the same when I started.

Let's go! To the end.

I can't accept that.

You handed the King's Seal to Princess.

He must have his reason.

I don't understand it.

Whatever the reason is, I don't understand it.

It's been 50 years since I came to Taehaksa with passion.

What are you trying to say?

During there were many happenings,

I was almost killed few times,

my son, Bumsang, died in real.

And my family of Haneuljae who shared joy and sorrow,

are killed hopelessly!

But it was my first to time

witness people die on the market!

Right, everyone is hushing up but it's boiling inside.

Yes.

So I determined myself.

What determination?

Since my hair was grown, I started to hate people.

Who?

General!

And the reason why I look virtuous and kind,

Twisted my legs with all kinds of technique, Heuk Chipyung!

So? Will you fight with Dr. Mok?

No, I decided to hate them only.

Is that all?

Is that all? This is a big thing.

I hate people? This is like the execution!

What's so great to hate,

Isn't it hard for you?

You guys are very mean!

I have never hated anyone in my life,

to hate someone, I have to push my body and...

Nonsense!

I do the same.

Isn't it?

When you assisted the King and Price

to uphold their means, it wasn't politic.

Taehaksa is direct organization of imperial

and it exists for Imperial and Baekjae.

But even if it's vengeance for the lord,

or innocent people,

perhaps, our Haneuljae family

who were killed by military soldiers,

it's strictly politic to work for Princess.

Who I admire and love, he never broke the rule.

Now I will fold my heart towards you.

Please send me to Yoohak dong.

Mojin!

Do you know it's the first time you called my name like that?

But it's too late.

I'm too exhausted.

You may not intend it

but looking at your risky foot step,

I'm tired now.

I'm afraid of this palace now.

I'm afraid of what happens in the palace.

The bigger reason that you broke up the rule,

is that you have to be in this scary palace.

Anyway I won't look at your back.

Doctor.

If you tell her the truth...

No! This is better.

If we fail and terminated,

she has to stay here.

What will you do?

I'm going to Yoohak dong.

Yoohak dong?

Are you going to Yoohak dong?

Come often and make kids happy.

Well, I can go everyday...

Now there aren't many Haneuljae members left.

Stop fighting.

Ms Mojin.

Today we'll learn about the regulation.

Yes.

There are 4 rules to keep in Taehaksa.

First is the duty of study.

Second is the duty of security.

Third is not to form a group.

Fourth is the duty of service to people.

Premier Hae Dojoo.

Executive Sa Dokwang.

Manager Gook Yeontaek.

Secretary Princess Wooyoung.

Taehaksa dalsol Giroo.

Secretary eunsol Jang.

Did you come? Go in!

I was so curious. Is Crown Prince alright?

Yes, he safely got in.

He messaged me that he could prepare the plan

to strengthen the military training.

Yes, I see!

And he wouldn't come often since many eyes are watching.

Tell him that I'm interested in his safety.

General, Hae Dojoo and Princess

are protecting the Jin Gakyung merchant,

so it's hard to say to inspect her house.

- Yes. - So, father,

You lookout for her store.

I'm doing it now but there are so many people.

It's hard to distinguish them.

And she's extending the store,

anyway I'll put someone there.

Yes, father! The private soldiers who took the King,

wasn't Executive's soldiers.

It's certainly Jin's people.

But Merchants have few great guards,

they don't gather soldiers like nobles.

If she gathered people at the time of abdication,

we would have noticed it.

I don't think it's the Princess.

I'll extend the store much broader!

So go to your area

and get any information about business.

Yes!

If not a business to do,

just any information of areas will do.

I'll compensate you for its value.

- So get busy yourself! - Yes!

They don't know what is happening to Jang and Dr. Mok.

Are they extending the store?

Well, they have a reason.

What's the reason?

You don't know it? Frankly duke Seodong is Baekjae!

No, isn't he handsome?

That's right, his eyes, nose, lips.

Hey! What are you looking at?

You're not handsome but you look familiar!

Why are you smiling? Wake up, Bumro! I'm going.

Go, go.

The most important thing is Abigi's watch.

So when you move, you have to follow the arrangement.

Yes, we're very cautious.

And when our dealers

invetsigate the place of each nobles,

I used to do that. I'll organize it.

Yes.

What was she in Silla, and doing those sort of work?

A quite high person.

Lady! Eunjin wants to see you.

- Let her in. - Yes.

I'll be outside.

What is it?

Will you just do business so peacefully?

What do you mean?

I understand Jang's anger,

but why did he go under Princess and work for her?

Does he come here these days?

No, he didn't come often.

That's why I'm saying this.

Although they're working for country, they're stuck together

And doing what I don't know!

He's with Princess Wooyoung all the time?

Well, not quite exactly.

The rule of right and force seem to be alike but not quite.

Not quite?

Rule by force is to be the throne,

and rule by the right is how to rule the country.

Which way should I go?

To support King's Imperial, you need rule of right.

But to gain the power from general,

you need to go for rule of force.

So what do I do?

There are significance of both.

That's the people.

People who have the same mean, intelletual of each field.

Also general built it for long time,

and compare to them, we have insufficient numbers.

Find people first.

To find and form a connection, make Eunsol to do it.

Yes! Officials and nobles, I'll give you the list of people.

Yes.

Would you know why I made you do this, sir?

Of course! And please don't use honorific.

I'm worried if someone listens.

Anyway I'll look all people in the palace closely,

and find people who want to do with us.

I'm not telling you to find people

who have the interest or virtuous people.

After all, King's work is to choose the person.

So forget to judge the person with right and wrong.

You have to look from the quality of person,

a good speaker without any action,

can be advantageous in some situations.

A good theoretical person without action can be good, too.

A man with nothing but to act, can be helpful.

Lazy but smart,

diligent but dumb, they have their own merit.

Grasp all of those, how to put up people,

how to draw their mind, you have to think about these.

Doctor, as Giroo told us, you look different.

I'm not different.

This is the education of Crown Prince what I have to do.

But out of all, military is vital.

If you touch any of suburban

military soldiers and royal guards,

my brother won't stay calm.

But foster them secretly

and send them to military police and guards.

That's the way.

You must regain the right of Internal Affair.

But all appeals and reports are inspected by my brother.

That's why you must regain it.

To control information from the King,

so he couldn't make the right decision.

It was a method to weaken the Imperial power.

But if he does the same, it's illogical.

You have the reason. You're the head of Internal Affair.

Eunsol, you order no appeals and reports

cannot be deviated from Internal Affair.

I'll inform the King.

Yes!

- And the military... - Should I do it?

No, please call Jin Gakyung for me.

- She's the right person. - Yes.

Sir Dalsol,

any appeals and reports come through the Internal Affair,

Must not be leaked out. It's direct order of Secretary!

But general has been doing this for long time.

Yes, I know!

But you know it's against the rule?

You people must not show all documents of Internal Affair

Before the King read them first!

- Understood? - Yes.

- Have a seat. - Yes, Princess.

You can go out! Don't let anyone approach.

Yes.

Is something happening?

Foster soldiers secretly.

- Soldiers? - Guards and military police,

each nobles of private soldiesr to dispatch secretly.

Taehaksa will assist their weapons.

So you can take the rest of it.

You don't want to?

You don't want this?

It's not that. If general finds out this,

my store will be blown away.

So? You can't do this?

No, I'll do it.

Yes, thank you!

Instead, I need to make a plan of myself.

I might strengthen the relation with general,

depends on case, more benefits can be

handed over to general or other nobles.

So trust me and understand it.

Yes! I got it.

I came to see the Secretary.

A guest is in. Please come back later.

Eunsol, you walk Jin home.

No, I can go myself.

- I need a word with you. - Come in.

Will you really turn against to general?

What are you talking about?

The arrangement you made this time,

you would know well

how much it will incite the general?

Well, I just want to get the system right in the palace.

Wouldn't it raise the Imperial power?

Princess!

That's better for him when he becomes the King.

So you deliver my thought to him.

- Jin Gakyung is here. - Let her in.

Let her in!

What do you want?

I came to see the Princess and I stopped by here.

- Why? - There was no particular order.

Did you come here to flatter me?

If you say that, I got nothing to say.

This time, I extended the store largely,

so I'm thinking of opening a shop near the nobles.

If I do that,

your return will be very huge.

Please look after us to form good connections with nobles.

Aren't we doing good now?

If merchant gets bigger, restraints are unavoidable.

You're talking about Abigi.

People have jealousy when business goes well.

Seeing your face,

you don't look good, general. Don't be disappointed.

It's justjealous now.

But the tendency won't change.

Speaking of spirit!

Please stop Jang.

What do you mean?

Although Princess is powerful, she can't be the King.

Like you said the general is the tendency.

Yes, I think so.

That's why I chose general instead of Princess.

So I don't want any misunderstanding to break

our agreement between you and me.

If I and my store go wrong, you and your father

won't be safe!

What? What the hell!

Did Princess order not to

show any of appeals and reports to general?

Damn it! Where is Giroo? Where is he!

What did you do?

Why didn't you report it straight to me!

Sir! You have to be patient.

How can I be patient?

She's taking my authority,

if I didn't see reports for King,

if I can't see what they are reporting to the King!

This is nonsense!

Lord! As I looked around,

there is a problem in the system. So I'd like to adjust it.

A problem?

Internal Affair take charge of imperial order,

it's the bridge of lord and officials opinions.

Right!

But if someone is in between you two,

officials won't tell their opinions freely.

It sounds right!

That will make you harder to decide many problems.

So please order not to interfere anyone

between Internal Affair and Lord.

Lord! General is here!

Yes, I was going to call you.

Lord! Since King Sunwang,

military police inspected all appeals and reports.

It was intended to grasp and manage the treason group

Who will appeal to you with confusion.

How could I not know this?

But it's not King Sunwang now. It's me.

I'll distinguish wheat and tares and order to military.

It'll be better for you to replace where it was.

- Lord! - Lord!

Your order is right. Please proceed it.

- I give the order. - Yes.

Is it from your brain or Mok Rasoo's?

You're making him to be compulsive.

I can'tjust watch the Princess.

Tell her I'll give her a gift.

Come to my house, let's have a tea.

Sir general!

How could my father do this to me! How!

How he got up there!

How could he turn his back on me!

If I knew this, I wouldn't have enthroned him!

General! Please bear it!

You shouldn't say that in any circumstances!

Did I say something wrong?

I can do anything if I make the decision now!

Sir general! Please listen what Premier says.

It's time for you to be cautious!

Bloody caution! Caution!

What do I have to cautious of!

Dalsol! General! Why are you doing this?

Dalsol, are you ok?

It's now! Slip out!

I told you? He will suspect a whisper of wind.

It'll get worse.

To be the King, he has too many sins.

What is he doing now?

As you expected.

And Sir Sa wants to give you a gift.

Gift? What?

Maybe isn't it related to

regain of Internal Affair?

Old fox, I see!

Then I'd get going.

Where are you staying now?

Still in Taehaksa...

No way!

Eunsol can't stay there.

And you're the first merit official.

I'll tell the lord and provide you house, servants and soldiers.

And raise your status!

You don't have to do this.

I want to do this.

I want to do it.

Did you come to me with only vengeance?

It's been a while since you came.

Yes, it happened to be.

Did these reports come at once?

Yes!

Now I understand why there weren't any reports.

- Let's go! - Princess!

Will you just show it to as it is?

Let's go!

Lord! These are the reports!

Are these reports meantime?

Yes.

Is it true tha Sun's rumor spread this far?

Yes, I found out this from the report.

You can go out!

Lord! Are you alright?

- Yes. - Should I call doctor?

He came this morning.

Are Sun's rumors really this bad?

It's true that it spreaded out to whole nation.

It's better to delay the coronation of Crown Prince as it said.

But your health is a crucial matter.

I'll change your personal doctor to Dr. Mok or Gomo.

Dr. Jung treated me the whole time.

He's good so don't worry.

- Did anything happen? - No, nothing.

So please relax.

What Princess Wooyoung can't have,

you have it, general.

- We have a problem! - What?

38 nobles and offcials appealed the reports.

Reports? What reports?

Well, unless they have the treason,

What is it!

They didn't even filter the rumor and straight to the lord.

What!

Why didn't you report it to me?

Are you turning your back on me!

Sir general! Please calm down!

Get out! Get the hell out!

It's them, them!

They're related to 4th son! People with treason!

Yes!

Arrest them! Now!

Yes!

I strike them! Whoever opposes me, I strike them with force!

- Preapre the military soldiers! - Yes!

- Drag them out! - Yes!

Didn't you hear it yet?

What? About what?

He's arresting all 38 people who appealed to the lord.

Pardon?

It's you! Right!

What are you doing?

You can't do this

for what we have appealed to King.

Yes, this has never happened in any other country.

Where is 4th son?

4th son?

Unless you wouldn't spread those rumors.

And you can't report it to the lord.

We didn't spread it, it was already spreaded among people.

- You bastard! - Sir general! Sir general!

If you'll chop him off, chop me off first, general!

Get out my way!

Sir! Please kill me first. Please kill me first!

All these... These are all my faults.

Sir general! I couldn't see through King's embeded mean,

And ignored Sir Heuk's anxiety, it's my fault.

Also, I didn't know he had enormous will

and I brought him poorly to market.

As a result, when you ordered to massacre people,

I should've stopped you with my life.

For my mistake, you have done compulsive acts.

So I made you entrap in their mental game,

and made you feel anxious!

So please strike me. Chop my head off!

If not, please follow my mean.

Forget what has happened, when you become the Prince,

No, the King.

Just think about how you will lead this country.

It's the personal reason...

No, whatever the reason I assist you as a master,

I don't hold other thoughts.

I don't have a place to go back.

Move broadly as a Prince, think widely as a King!

Please clam yourself and be composed.

Still heaven is on your side.

Even if not, I'll turn it back to you.

We'll do dirty and filthy things,

now you walk the way of rights.

Please don't lose your chance yourself!

Sir general!

It was misjudgement from military police.

I apologize to nobles and officials who suffered from this.

It will never happen again,

so please forgive me with your generosity.

Finally Giroo chose that way.

Yes, it won't be easy for him

to return to us.

Yes, I felt unfortunate that he has no place to turn to.

It was also scary,

and strange.

What is?

I told him to stop here,

I wanted him to turn his back on Bu Yeosun,

and I felt it was right thing to do,

but I like Giroo who didn't betray Bu Yeosun.

Right, there's a heart of human

which can't be distinguished as profit and loss.

I think I have to go to the end with Giroo.

And I have to see the dirty and filthy things he would do.

- You came. - Yes.

Right.

I heard bad things about general all over the place.

No, he'll be better. He'll be determined.

Even if he does, Princess is pressing hard on him.

It's not that simple!

Yes, so I will use those method.

Those method?

To confuse the mind.

Is there a such thing?

There is a simple thing.

What's wrong?

I was thinking about

whether you can do it like Giroo.

I envied it.

I said that I didn't want the loyalty that you showed to Prince.

But I changed my mind.

Have the loyalty.

Isn't loyalty the sincerity!

If person's sincerity reaches nation, it becomes loyalty!

If it reaches a friend, it becomes friendship.

If it reaches parents, it becomes filial devotion.

If it reaches lover,

it becomes love.

I like any of it, so give me your sincerity.

Is it hard?

Try it, even if it's hard.

We're on the same boat.

Sincerity.

What sincerity do I want from Jang.

I liked your behavior for the first time since I've seen you.

I always thought that I couldn't read your mind.

How much do you trust a person?

No, how much do you trust Jang?

Jang and Jin, they knew each other for long time.

Jin's store owner has the relation with Jang, it's possible.

I wouldn't tell you if that's what it is.

You'd do all dirty and filthy things to him,

what you came up was to alienate?

Are you trying to harm us for that alienation?

Since you saw everything, I won't hide my intention.

But I'm saying the truth.

Even Dr. Mok knew her long time ago.

- Did Eunsol go home? - Yes.

A man called Jang visited the merchant and I hid him.

Jang visited the merchant?

Yes, he had the bond with Jang in the battle.

I pretended to hide him.

So I came to let you know.

How! How could you!

Sorry, I'm a merchant. I don't do things to threat my store.

It's not true!

It's not true.

Aren't you Jang?

How come you're coming with Jin Gakyung?

I wasn't coming with...

I don't know him. Do you know him?

He didn't come here.

Should I call her?

- There... - No!

No, let's go.

I knew he tried to alienate us, I was almost fooled.

Let's go back!

I'll escort her, you do what you have been doing.

Yes!

- You go first. - Yes.

It was true.

Shall we go?
