Episode 28

Only with the Prince Heir dead,

will this land of Joseon prosper!

will this land of Joseon prosper!

Your Majesty.

Originally this shaman's words were very ominous.

Why would that meteor fall in the direction of the Main Hall?

Your age...

is already suitable for daericheongjeong.

Daericheongjeong?

Your Majesty, such a thing cannot happen.

No matter what,

the uprising must be held in advance.

What? Yuso and yeoncheol?

Yes. Though the price has doubled lately,

they are still not in stock.

The Defense Minister is surely making weapons.

Is it a treasonous plot?

If it is not a treasonous plot,

why would Your Excellency grovel like this?

The funds to be used in the uprising have been prepared.

There are spears and swords, 200 each,

and 20 guns as well.

The fighters signed up are all people

who can die with nobody caring to find out.

They are perfect

for completing the uprising.

These are the blood-contracts of all the generals.

Today at Haesi,

the uprising will start from the sky.

Cut the strings!

Tonight, Joseon will have its revolution!

Father.

Dong Su.

I will wait for you.

Sa Mo,

I don't want to lose

anyone anymore.

I will surely protect them,

with my own hands.

Un!

How could you...

Sir Hong!

Are you all right?

Let's begin.

. . I will wait for you all at Gangnyeongjeon.

-=Gangnyeongjeon:His Majesty's sleeping hall=- . I will wait for you all at Gangnyeongjeon.

Let's go.

Cho Rip.

He was stabbed by a sword.

Yeo Un.

He did it.

Yeo... Yeo Un?

I will take care of him.

Yeongsuk, you should leave quickly.

You can't die.

You have to live on.

. . I am a chijeunggun.

-=chijeunggun: no ranked, low end cart pulling officer=- . I am a chijeunggun.

-=chijeunggun: no ranked, low end cart pulling officer=- . Please allow me to enter the palace.

Please allow me to enter the palace.

Go back. Today, irregardless of rank,

no one can enter the palace.

-=Guard General=-

Your Excellency, why is this so...

Myeong Ju, go immediately to the East Palace Hall.

What? But...

I am still not at ease.

If the Sky Lord has any unusual movements,

report immediately.

Yes.

What's wrong?

Your Majesty!

-=Yeong Ju=- . .

-=Yeong Ju=- . What exactly happened?

What exactly happened?

Yo... Your... Excellency.

Why...

Go peacefully.

Move aside! Do you not know who I am?

Defense Minister.

General Eo Yeong, why are you so late?

. . I am sorry.

-=General Eo Yeong=- . I am sorry.

-=General Eo Yeong=- . Hurry and go see His Majesty.

. . Hurry and go see His Majesty.

Your Majesty, this is a treasonous plot.

There are several hundred assassins,

here in the palace.

Right now, they are charging towards Gangnyeongjeon.

What?

The assassins have penetrated our walls and entered Gangnyeongjeon.

General Eo Yeong, what exactly have you been doing?

-=Seo Yu Dae : Royal Guards Captain=- . I'm sorry, Your Excellency.

. . I'm sorry, Your Excellency.

Go gather the Royal Army soldiers and protect His Majesty now!

Yes, Your Excellency.

Your Majesty, please issue a command.

Your Majesty.

Guarding the Gangnyeongjeon

using the Royal Guards is more than enough.

Gather the Royal Army together.

Royal Guards Captain, how could such words come out of your mouth?

No matter what,

His Majesty's safety is most important!

Your Majesty.

Please issue a command.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Fine, just act accordingly then.

I'll follow your command, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, with me here,

you don't have to worry.

Ring the bell!

All of the Royal Army soldiers in the palace,

immediately gather at Gangnyeongjeon.

- Yes! - Yes!

They are gathering Royal Army soldiers.

Then, isn't the East Palace Hall left with only the few of us?

Hurry, let's inform His Highness.

Sky Lord, go to the East Palace Hall and kill the Prince Heir now.

Once the Prince Heir dies,

soldiers from the 4 army barracks

will enter the palace together.

Baek Dong Su, including his gang,

will be left for you to deal with.

Getting rid of the Prince Heir is something you must do.

Quickly go ahead.

In case the Sky Lord betrays us,

you need to personally kill the Prince Heir and the Sky Lord.

Hey, Yeo Un.

Stop right there.

You arrived quite fast.

But you won't be able to pass this hurdle of mine.

Your Highness, a band of assassins has arrived at Gangnyeongjeon.

-= Yi San (Later King Jeong Ju)=- . Your Highness, a band of assassins has arrived at Gangnyeongjeon.

-= Yi San (Later King Jeong Ju)=- . . What?

-= Yi San (Later King Jeong Ju)=- . . .

Come follow me.

Your Highness, there is a possibility that they are not targeting His Majesty.

As the situation is still unknown,

it's better to first wait here at the East Palace Hall.

I have no time to play with you, let's quickly decide the victor.

That's what I want.

Attack!

You all wait first.

If there are people in the way,

kill them.

Yeo Un, what are you doing?

Hurry and back off!

Don't you really want to live?

Hurry and leave.

I'm asking of you.

Do you all know him?

This is Defense Minister Hong Dae Ju's treasonous plot.

What?

Defense Minister?

Get out of the way, now I must go to Gangnyeongjeon.

Your Royal Highness,

you can not go anywhere.

Yeo Un.

Today, I must definitely take your life.

I will fight with you to the end.

You fellow, are already finished.

This really is a duel that I don't regret.

How is the Prince Heir?

Why are you not answering?

I want to personally confirm this.

You can't go in.

Now you want to go back on your word?

From the beginning, I didn't really like this plot.

You fellow...

Your opponent...

is not me.

You all look behind you.

Un, you...

What are you doing?

I'm asking you, what are you doing?

Baek Dong Su.

I am sorry.

But, I really don't have time.

You fellow, personally came to the door.

Last time we were tricked by you.

Today,

you all will pay a price.

This fellow.

To kill the Prince Heir, there is more than enough time.

Why is it so silent in the East Palace Hall?

Is there's no news from Myung Ju?

Yes.

What should I do, Father?

We can't wait any longer.

Go, bring some assassins along and confirm it personally.

Yes.

All of you come out.

This is the signal to retreat.

Blow the horn at dawn.

Your Highness!

Are you all right?

What happened?

Those people wish to kill Your Highness and let Prince Eun Jeon ascend the throne.

-=Prince Eun Jeon: son of Crown Prince Sado and Concubine Gyeongbin=- . Those people wish to kill Your Highness and let Prince Eun Jeon ascend the throne.

-=Prince Eun Jeon: son of Crown Prince Sado and Concubine Gyeongbin=- . . .

-=Prince Eun Jeon: son of Crown Prince Sado and Concubine Gyeongbin=- . In order to succeed at this treasonous plot,

In order to succeed at this treasonous plot,

they'll definitely harm Prince Heir's life.

So the priority is to take my life?

Yes.

So before Baek Dong Su comes here,

I will protect you.

What did you say? Seo Un helped us?

I don't know what would have happened without him.

Kill them!

So, it's you again, Baek Dong Su!

Drop your swords!

Look, the one who must drop the sword is you.

You all certainly have guts...

to actually dare rebel in the East Palace Hall!

Your Highness.

You say the King wants to talk about bloodline?

So,

I must see if you still dare to talk like that before you die.

Your Highness, I'll fight them.

I will also help.

No! Your Highness.

Your Highness, just trust me.

Can you do it?

Good, I believe in Yeongsuk.

Attack!

It's already dawn.

Your Excellency, why does Your Excellency's face look this bad?

What do you want to say?

It is not that I don't know the ins and outs of the treasonous plot this time.

Also...

I am also sure that Your Excellency's heart is burning with anxiety.

You sent all those people that were prepared to the East Palace right?

Can it be as smooth sailing as you think?

Look, those I sent to the East Palace is more than a hundred people.

Can those trivial East Palace guards block it?

A hundred people?

Your Excellency, that figure can't be considered too much.

The people Your Excellency sent, how come there is no news from them once they reached the East Palace?

Until now, you don't understand?

Because Joseon's strongest Baek Dong Su,

who isn't even afraid of a powerful army is guarding there.

What are you doing? Quickly kill him!

Long time no see. We haven't been together like this for a long time.

How is Cho Rip?

Un! How could you...

Cho Rip! I beg you, don't move.

For the sake of fooling them, it can't be helped.

Do not worry.

After passing through the dangerous stage, his life won't be in danger.

Right now dealing with that fellow will do.

Shoot!

Let's see if your swords are faster or if the guns are.

Now we can finally die.

Then, let's die together.

Crazy people...

This is your final hour. Shoot!

Dong Su! synced by riri13

You must be the Defense Minister's son.

I know early on, you fellow would cause trouble.

What? What do you think you are doing?

- This fellow... - Forget it.

We must first protect His Highness.

Un.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

Yes.

You fellow, no matter what happens,

why would you wait to suffer from being shot?

Even if you're doing it for your dead master, this is still unacceptable.

Precisely.

Thinking that you would die, he came over like the wind...

in this appearance.

What?

Is His Highness all right?

Yes, he's inside.

It is possible they will go to His Majesty.

I'll have to trouble you in guarding the East Palace.

Yeongsuk, what about you?

I need to go to Gangnyeongjeon.

All right.

Yeongsuk, that...

What happened to Un?

Looks like he came back,

to what he was like before.

Really?

Then... I'll take my leave.

Be careful.

Yes.

It is fine now, put it down.

Your Highness, are you all right?

How is it?

Baek Dong Su, everything is ruined because of him.

What, even with those hundred people?

How about the Sky Lord?

The Sky Lord has also betrayed us.

Now what should we do? The uprising already failed.

If you are a man, you should see to the end after pulling the sword.

The uprising has not ended, why would they sound the signal?

How come the signal sounded so quickly?

Where is that Myeong Ju fellow?

-=Queen Jeong Sun=- . .

-=Queen Jeong Sun=- . Father, it looks like the uprising has failed.

Father, it looks like the uprising has failed.

-=Gim Han Gu: Queen Jeong Sun's father=-

We should prepare a back route.

So, those people have to become Your Majesty's people.

Do you want the Defense Minister's life?

After all, someone must take the responsibility for the uprising this time.

If the uprising failed,

you must not be hesitant in cutting off your relation with the Defense Minister.

With your ability...

you should be able to take the Prince Heir's life.

Baek Dong Su, is the strongest swordsman in Joseon.

Your Majesty really thinks too highly of me.

Father,

today's matter must be erased from history.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

The history that put Your Majesty in a bad light will all be erased.

Can it be that the uprising failed?

Royal Guards Captain, what are you doing?

Quickly withdraw the soldiers.

Defense Minister.

Your uprising went up in smokes.

What uprising? What are you saying?

Do you still want to protest?

General Eo Yeong, what are you doing?

Quickly tie up the Royal Guards Captian, and await His Majesty.

In case the uprising ends as a failure,

you must retreat right away.

You are too stupid.

Do you think that if you'll get away now, you will be safe and sound?

If the uprising failed, both my head and yours will roll.

I will go see Her Majesty.

You, follow me.

What exactly are you all doing?

Why would you all draw your swords against each other?

Quickly put down your swords!

I told you to put down your swords!

Fight for your life and eventually win through desperation of no escape.

If it reaches to this situation, you will be responsible for His Majesty's head.

Can I ask you for the reason?

Reason?

Your Excellency, you said before this is a revolution.

I also want to see the new world fall.

You really are not patient with living.

I am an assassin.

An assassin that is afraid of death,

does not exist.

You said before that Taesan...

that great Taesan, will eventually,

crumble in my hands.

It still hasn't... it still hasn't ended.

This fellow actually dares...

Come follow me.

Wait right here.

Although the uprising failed, but as long as Your Majesty is there to look after me,

it will be neatly dealt with.

Your Excellency,

what are you saying?

Such a wicked thing like assassinating His Majesty happened,

you actually want me to take care of you?

Your Majesty, how can you be like this?

This is an uprising that you lead.

Why do you only want to put me to death?

Defense Minister.

You are not crazy, right? How dare you speak such nonsense!

Can it be that you want me to punish you now for your crime and send you to the State Tribunal prison?

Your Majesty.

If you don't care about me,

Your Majesty will also not be safe and sound.

How dare you!

I... also have the account book that can become the evidence of uprising.

Of course, included there are blood-contracts of the loyal uprising leaders who swore their oath towards Her Majesty.

Defense Minister.

What are you saying?

Please don't be doubtful of my loyalty towards Your Majesty.

But the matter has become like this.

In case Your Majesty wants me to be the scapegoat,

I will even take my own life,

and will also make Your Majesty accompany me.

Defense Minister.

Do you think you can scare me?

This time as I leave the palace,

there will be a reign of terror stirring up on the court.

It is better to do some preparations.

There is a problem.

The blood-contracts of those that are participating in the uprising,

are in the Defense Minister's hands.

If you want to receive Her Majesty's consent,

you must first find the blood-contracts.

You can be at ease, Your Majesty.

How is it?

You, immediately leave the palace.

Father...

Go do accordingly as I say.

The situation... how did it become like this?

Baek Dong Su.

This is because of you.

Your Highness, how about waiting at the East Palace a bit more?

Whether His Majesty is safe and sound or not, I want to personally confirm it.

This is really...

Your stubbornness is exactly the same as His Highness Crown Prince.

Then please go.

Your Highness, I will escort you.

Your Majesty.

Prince Heir, people's hearts in the palace are in panic, how come you are here?

I came to see you.

Are you safe and sound?

Yes, are you all right as well?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, the one behind the uprising this time is Defense Minister Hong Dae Ju.

What?

Defense Minister?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Please immediately issue the Chupo for the Defense Minister.

-=Chupo: chase and arrest order=- . Please immediately issue the Chupo for the Defense Minister.

-=Chupo: chase and arrest order=- . . .

-=Chupo: chase and arrest order=- . Send forces to suppress the traitors and catch the mastermind Defense Minister.

Send forces to supress the traitors and catch the mastermind Defense Minister.

Stop!

How dare you block me?

Well, how is it?

It has been settled.

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

It's nothing, you go first.

You should also quickly come back.

Yes.

Then, we will go first. Let's go, let's go.

Is that Un?

Un.

Thank you.

I didn't come here to hear that.

No...

For returning to the previous Un, I'm thanking you.

I need to leave the palace and search for Hong Sa Hae.

Dong Su you go find the Defense Minister and bring this matter to an end.

Fine.

Un.

Forgive me, for suspecting you for a short while.

Excuse me...

- It is you... - Jin Ju.

Long time no see, Tae San.

You know him?

Yes, Hyeongnim.

Is something wrong?

This... this fellow.

Immediately get up!

You fellow...

This is our family's source of life.

Absolutely, absolutely we must protect it.

Catch the uprising criminal Hong Dae Ju and the other children!

Start searching from that side, the Defense Minister's room!

How can you be like this?

Are there any dogs that bail themselves and abandon their owners?

So you are only someone who knows how to be afraid and not understand faith.

I... have an 80 year old mother, and a young daughter.

I won't dare come forward...

So,

you must certainly live.

Catch all of the uprising criminal's family members!

Quickly take them away!

- Yes! - Yes!

Vice Minister I say, Vice Minister...

In front of the West Doors a palanquin will be waiting.

Hide in the palanquin, then temporarily leave the city.

You came.

You fellow, why are you here?

Although the entire army has been dispatched to search,

we still haven't found the Defense Minister's whereabouts.

Where is the Defense Minister?

My father, experienced all kinds of hardships to get to this stage.

He certainly prepared a counter measure.

When that time comes,

Your Highness should have come to your senses.

You scoundrel!

You actually dare to say such nonsense in front of His Highness!

Scoundrel!

Those who participated in the treasonous plot, can't continue to live.

The coup's mastermind, Defense Minister will be questioned in public for his crimes.

Royal Guards Captain.

Yes, Your Highness.

At jeongosi, His Majesty will personally question the criminal.

-=jeongosi: 12 pm=- . At jeongosi, His Majesty will personally question the criminal.

At jeongosi, His Majesty will personally question the criminal.

The Defense Minister must be captured before that time.

I will comply.

That huge stature of his,

where did it got stuck to?

Could he have gone to heaven?

He couldn't have left the palace right?

Like presently,

it is even difficult for a rat to slip out.

I think I know where he is.

On a day like today,

there is only one place no one can go.

Defense Minister, immediately come down from the throne.

Firmly believing I could have everything.

Firmly believing as long as I stretched out my hand, I can get it.

Do you know, until now,

Joseon was established by siting on this throne of...

numerous people's fresh blood?

There are some people that can grasp this throne and write history.

But there are some people that will die as nameless criminals.

If there is something that I did wrong,

that is to cut off the Sword Saint's arm, as a reason...

to let you, Baek Dong Su live.

That is the only thing.

This is the tragic end to your excessive greed.

Aside from that, there is no other reason.

I, will just leave it up to your methods to die.

I won't forget your hard work.

Yeongsuk, it was you who saved me.

How is the Defense Minister?

He is locked in the State Tribunal prison now.

Is it possible to start the questioning?

Quickly confess!

Is this treasonous plot yours, Defense Minister?

Are you really the mastermind of this treasonous plot?

I, Hong Dae Ju, only want to call those...

treating the treasonous criminal's decedent as part of the country, to wake up.

Wh... what, you fellow!

Just now, did you say treasonous criminal's decedent?

So, I want to newly establish the court's imposing manner.

I am only doing this for the sake of the country's prosperity.

Why do I need to be denounced for my crimes?

You actually dare ignore the ancestors?

Your Majesty, what this current court needs is only power.

Power to rule the heaven, can it be you don't know?

What are you doing still standing there?

Quickly cut off this traitor's head. Prepare for Hyosi.

-=Hyosi: beheading in public=- . .

-=Hyosi: beheading in public=- . Let go!

If the Prince Heir ascends the throne,

it will bring never before seen bloodshed.

This, this...

Wanting to clear the name of his dead father is the Prince Heir's true nature.

How can you not know?

You will surely regret it, for sure.

Cho Rip... Cho Rip!

Lucky, you are all right... really lucky.

Miss...

Miss, in this short time because of you,

her heart has not been at ease.

It's all right.

Am I not standing before you like this?

Aigoo, Dong Su.

Looks like everything is settled.

Good, you've worked hard.

Others... the others, Sa Mo orabeoni is all right too?

Yes, no need to worry, they are all...

Madam Jang, you do not have to worry about me.

Hey, hey orabeoni.

Omo!

Orabeoni.

Children need to turn their head, this is something adults do.

Cho Rip.

The traitor Hong Dae Ju,

attempted to rebel, framed the loyal, disrupted the court,

attempted to harm His Majesty and His Highness, the Prince Heir.

This treasonous criminal's head will be displayed to the public.

What? What did you just say?

Heuksa Chorong's Sky Lord...

is the culprit who killed Crown Prince Sado.

Really? Did that fellow really kill Father?

Yes, Your Highness.

Please give the order to eradicate the inhumane assassins group, Heuksa Chorong,

and kill their leader, the Sky Lord.

Cut off the Sky Lord's head,

and re-establish the country's honor.
